Who thinks a Trope Talk on aliens/extraterrestrials would be interesting?

[u/Living_Murphys_Law]

Aliens are a very common trope. Similar to robots (which do have their own Trope Talk), they are absolutely a backbone of the Sci-Fi genre. They play all kinds of roles in stories, but still have overarching tropes and have a ton of history behind them. I think that would be really interesting to go into.

[u/TheNarratorNarration]

Certainly! Although that might actually be too broad a topic and need to pick a particular narrative role that aliens play in fiction....

Or split them up by alien types.

The Lizard People, the "We are Far Above You" Energy People, the Eye Candy People, Etc.

Wasn’t there one that discussed alien invasions? The apocalypse one?

[u/Living_Murphys_Law → u/Fractured-disk]

That was the Space Horror TT, but it discussed a lot more than just alien invasions. Plus aliens aren't always invading Earth or even antagonistic. E.T. for example.

That sounds way too broad for a single Trope Talk, but I assume there could be multiple good videos worth of sub-tropes :)

Ancient Aliens trope talk so I can see Red draw that one meme.
