    Independence Day is indeed a thrilling movie. And as flawed as the sequel _Resurgence_ was, the cliff hanger at the end has me still partially wanting a movie, show, or video game detailing how the conflict against the Harvesters finally comes to an end. Oh, and American or not, Happy 4th of July to you all.

    The craziest thing about the City Destroyers is that their main weapon is essentially a scaled-down version of the Death Star Superlaser from Star Wars. Both function on the fact that the majority of matter is actually empty space in which the atoms that comprise it vibrate. Both weapons transfer energy filling up the space similar to how a balloon is filled with air. When the object being energized reaches capacity, a pulse is sent down the energy beam to overload that storage capacity violently. Thus the energy explodes outwards violently turning the object into a WMD.

    Now that there's a actual story to the setting, it's too bad there won't be a 3rd film. The original didn't need a sequel in the first place - it was just dumb patriotic fun. The sequel was also dumb, but again, it was fun. I do hope there's some media made to follow through with the whole 'interplanetary coalition centered around _literally the only planet to survive two full-scale invasions'_ thing.

    Interesting Retcon that they want the core. This does explain why they might primarily go for Inhabited Planets - those tend to have the magnetic fields that life needs. But it might also be a way to preemptively clean out any life that might be a danger to them. If they were just after resources, low gravity asteroids, comets and moons tend to be better targets then a planet with _nuclear armed_ inhabitants.

    Where I was working at the time, the owner of the small (~50 people) company tasked a coworker and I with going to the theater in town (not a mall multiplex.. single screen theater) during our shift, to wait in line and buy a pair of tickets for every employee. We got there at 11 and were 3rd and 4th in line. The box office opened at 2, and we secured the tickets. The owner had actually talked to the theater manager to let him know what was coming. Theater manager said we had to buy our tickets like everyone else (hence my mission), but her would block off 3 rows for us, and also arranged for popcorn and drinks for everyone. At 4, the business shut down. Babysitting was arranged for all who needed it. We got together at the restaurant next door to the theater and had a meal on the company. A few of us were sent over to stand in line, and we all got to see the 1st showing in that theater all courtesy of the business owner. And then the movie just blew us out of the water. What an incredible day.

    Despite how poorly the Movie was recieved, I actually really loved the Lore that Indepandance Day 2 gave the Harvesters. I loved how Humans touched by them were hooked into their Psychic Network, I loved how the Scientists guy survived, he was always funny and gave the movies his best both times. I loved the design of the Queen, I loved good Alien Ball, I really didnt expect Independance Day 2 to have a good Alien! I genuinely felt like Woody in Toy Story 2 saying "All right, next Episode!" when the Movie ended. There is one problem I have with the Lore, and that is, if the Sphere's Culture had superior technology to that of the Harvesters, why and how did the Sphere's get reduced down to a single individual? Did the Aliens of the Refugee Planet develop the Superior Technology? How has "No one ever Killed a Harvester Queen" when all you need to do is shoot down her Shield and blast her back to cause her Biosuit to open so she dies??

This might become similar situation in Stargate where Asgard gifted all their knowledge and tech to Human/Tau'ri before mass suicide because Humans knows how to innovate with new tech (or in Jack O'Neill's word to thor, "we're too dumb to make the same mistake twice")

    Sphere is most likely an AI created by the alien species who were the first alien the Harvesters killed bcuz their technology could defeat them. The Harvesters had such advanced weapons and technology in beginning of their conquest that it stagnated cuz it was just too good that any innovations wasn't necessary. Other aliens were more advanced than humans but not as advanced as the Harvesters. Harvesters were like the Romans, and other aliens were like the Sassinids, Greeks, n Egyptians but humans were like the Germanic/Celtics tribes. Romans conquered "advanced" civilizations but couldn't conquer "barbaric" civilizations. Best analogy I can give.

    I really wish Resurgence hadn't decided to go "even bigger ship". The vision on Earth where the windfall of alien technology meant we built anti-gravity ships and planetary defense systems based on their own weapons was a completely welcome surprise of world building: what it needed though was instead of having all that stuff destroyed in Act 2 was to have it be disabled or shutdown or *something* so the climax could be re-activating the planetary defenses and getting a "humanity, fuck yeah" moment where we just wreck their second fleet in space. Probably go with them counter-cyberattacking initially, then the alien AI turns up, some humans do a "we've been killing computer viruses since the 1970s" line with some very 90s nerds, the various militaries fight a big battle to protect the satellites and the aliens attack some cities to try and distract, and then the AI helps us turn all the defenses back on for some big finishing shots of ships of the original alien fleet getting shredded. Have a whole moment in there that the alien AI wants us to trust it so it can *do something* which turns out to be your big "and next" cliffhanger - it gets the location of all the Harvester fleets in the galaxy, plus a big weird thing they didn't know about (it's totally a Dyson sphere - there absolutely should be a Dyson sphere if you made a third movie).

    Here's my idea for the third movie, (assuming that 20th Century doesn't decide to go Ghostbusters: Afterlife on us and gives us a whole new ID2, which truth be told I wouldn't mind) In the years after the second invasion, humanity has constructed a number of interstellar warships and has been testing them for several months (if not years) with the intention to send three carrier groups out of our solar system on the first extrasolar military action in human history. Their mission is to take the sphere, the fleet itself and a million plus troops to the Sanctuary planet that the sphere mentioned in Resurgence. The three carriers (called Enterprise, Hornet and Yorktown after the carriers from the Battle of Midway) are escorted by, in descending order from biggest to smallest, dreadnaughts, frigates, cruisers and interceptors, as well as troop transports, tankers and freighters. The carriers each carry several complements of fighters and bombers while the troop transports carry gunships and dropships for ground combat. This fleet, after months of grueling training exercises, is finally ready to begin its' mission and leaves Earth without incident and is well on its' way to the Sanctuary planet when members of the crew exposed to the Harvesters hive mind start having visions of a Harvester fleet similar to the one that attacked Earth in ID1 landing on an alien planet in a twin star system. The human fleet diverts its' course to head off the invasion. Upon arriving in the alien solar system, it is quickly discovered that the Harvesters are nearing completion of their invasion of this planet and have begun landing ground troops on both the planet itself and its' moons. The human fleet then begins its' counterattack by committing its' ground forces to stopping the invasion while the fleet attacks the mothership and its' destroyers and smaller support ships. This is just a rough outline of the story. Obviously, there'd be more details to it than just what I've listed here.

    I'm not entirely clear why, but the two movies has me thinking of a darker Star Trek, where humans are brought into a galactic war because "F*ck the Prime Directive! All hands on deck! Even the primitives!" I'm sure someone will name a SCi-fi that is MUCH closer. "We will fight them. But we need your guns!"

    There's also a 4th class size of ship, which lie between the Fighters and the City Destroyers, somewhere around Frigate or Cruiser size. It mainly comprises of two kinds of ships, City Sweepers that carpet bomb at a city block level, and Troop Transporters for ground deployment. I can only recall seeing the Troop Transporters in the 1996 movie, which can be seen leaving the mothership while the hijacked Fighter is making its escape near the end of the movie. Both these ships do however, make a significant appearance in the 1997 video game, which also had 3-4 different Fighter variants. This is all from the 1996 film, however, and I refuse to acknowledge anything from the sequel which I have all but erased from memory.

I hope for a 3rd film to see the "superior technology" our little Sphere was talking about. I love the part that the refugee planet is equipped with energy field and armed satellites (probably the superior technology that can eradicate the harvester species) yet the sphere is still willing to sacrifice its existence for the greater good and the safety of the coalition.

    Independence Day was a great movie, but when you move beyond the veneer of a cool summer movie and try to actually explain harvester doctrine you have to acknowledge the physics involved here. If the motherships had simply performed breaking maneuvers in order to slow their descent into the atmosphere…..They pretty much would’ve cooked all of the major cities they came to rest over anyway without needing to fire their ventral guns.
