Last week, I talked about why I didn't like Independence Day 2. This week, I'm going to pitch my idea for it.
Independence Day 2 has the same scavenger aliens as the first one. Now they're coming back in a
grandmother ship for…some of their guys holed up in Africa?
And I know the
aliens in Africa will be important because it’s the only detail from the movie
website that doesn’t jibe with a smoothed-over, business-as-usual
post-war Earth. I mean, what will Independence Day 3 cover? The Scavengers’
deeply-held belief that the third time is the charm?
Imagine: Earth rebuilds after The War of 1996. We have a
series of small cities built on the edges of the ruins of our old cities.
Things are decentralized, but we do have a unified world government and
hella-cool command center which runs our early detection crap, our alien-tech
defense forces, and our expeditionary fleets. It’s a big complex and maybe
Earth’s largest city (because millions died in the last movie).
