Comment on USS Nauvoo
GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months agoThat was the point. In the books, the bugs had been flinging rocks towards the outer colonies for years, but the attack on Buenos Aires is heavily implied to be an inside job to rally support for an invasion, since they did not have hyperspace tech and no attack had reached the inner worlds, let alone Earth.

I’m finding it very funny, because I though it was incredibly obvious on the movie, and nobody would ever disagree.
Indeed, the movie is way too busy, so it’s easy to miss that there are no insects on space, or that the bugs weren’t even aware they were been systematically attacked until “now”. But it’s one of those things that I expected to be completely obvious once pointed out. It’s even more obvious than what you are narrating from the book, because on the movie Earth has been receiving those rocks for decades.
I imagine people missing the point is part of the point of it. It’s like that gorilla video.
