I think in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, its motivation is much more clear.

It's there to take over the planet.

And the thing, they just find this crass spaceship from thousands of years ago.

And there's no reason as to why it's there or what the purpose of this alien is.

The alien never expresses its intent.

Right.

It's just this vicious force.

Okay, that's a good one.

I'm sorry.

Well, I just showed my girlfriend the blob because she'd never seen it, so we just watched it the other week.

I feel like that.

This actually brings up, I love your thoughts on this.

I always like to think that if we were to see an alien, that we wouldn't really be able to comprehend it, which is why I always think that the old school look of like the gray alien, you know, big head, big black eyes, because we only understand things in the shapes that we can currently comprehend.

But if something were not bound by our understanding of,

of the world, could it look entirely different in a form that we just don't understand and have to put it into a form that we do understand?

That is really creative.

Cool.

Sorry, just back to the blob real quick.

I know we got more questions.

But that's, to your point, what makes the blob so great
