[@shadows2909]

And what about the one survived the previous bombing

[@leonardohidalgo5127]

By having a hive mind it is easy for children to share or convince themselves of common goals. The reason one child was different was because he managed to accidentally hurt himself in the earlier stages and this took him out of that hive connection, giving him real individuality, but that is hard to maintain if he gets too influenced by other kids, many wanted their parents because they treated them well, but as soon as this was questioned by the rest of the hive they quickly changed their minds to agree with their brothers. Having experienced individuality and being questioned by others, he began to fear them, and began to hide information from them to avoid giving in to the hive's every whim, so he managed to separate himself from the hive's influence. Looking at it from that perspective if we compare it to the 90s movie, we are shown that the hive mind is easily influenced by a particular individual of the children who has the greatest mentality or character, being like an innate leader despite sharing consciousness, he puts himself before others and, being stronger, changes them at his will.

Those kids needed someone to have an honest sitdown with them to explain to them that no matter how powerful they think of themselves, they wouldn't survive for long if they kept that behavior up. Sure, their telekinesis allowed them to throw people around, but so could a man with sufficient strength. Sure, they could brainwash people into doing what they wanted, but so could a person with sufficient knowledge and time. What they lacked was a parental figure that could properly convey to them that no matter how STRONG they are, there's always someone incomprehensibly stronger lurking somewhere, ready to pounce the moment they make a mistake. I was born into a family where all the men were either killed or imprisoned, and my father was among them. After getting out of prison, he taught me that I was on the same path unless I learned to control my anger and strength. These kids didn't have a parent there, among ALL the parents, to teach them that the worst thing that can happen ISN'T what they had imagined. The worst thing that can happen is horrific, violent death.

[@PhoenixplaysX]

They don't brain wash anyone it's straight up mind control, it's super natural. Brainwashing if given enough time doesn't compare to those kids thinking about someone unaliving themselves or others and it happening in the time it takes to have those thoughts. Some of them had parents that cared but the nature of these supernatural beings, because they aren't human, was to control and to destroy/hurt those that would not comply.

I knew I've seen a movie on this, so I had to look it up because the original movie is from the 1960 but there was another remake by Carpenter which was pretty good, frrom 1995 and it's the same plot but this looks more updated so it's cool to see this concept remake again.

[@OTHERMRBABCOCK]

There’s another version of a similar story with a more grim ending: the children are licked in a windowless metal cellar. The cellar is airtight so the parents hear the children’s screams until they slowly die out. More impactful and what the movie should have used. One more version allows the children to stand “in control” in the middle of a barren Russian wood in the middle of winter. The children cannot actually fend for themselves as they are all linked together and don’t want any of the others parents helping them as they squabble they all begin to freeze to death, in turn freezing the connection, with all the children dying slowly of exposure to the Russian winter.

[@Kjai537]

So they never explain where they kids come from? I’m assuming aliens but it would have been nice for there to be a little explanation in the movie on what and why it happen. What was the purpose and who did it.

Could be god, creating angels to cleanse the world. The religion I grew up with and abandoned teaches that God will destroy the earth, it's crazy but religious people fucking loved the idea of an apocalypse.

[@MsLaetitia26]

@@bobsburgers5205 I'm religious and it's not what will happened. In the last days, God will take away his people and will give full reign to Lucifer who will unleash Hell on Earth. The Apocalypse is about the Earth becoming Hell and demons running rampant. God will give people exactly what they want. A world without anything good. Lucifer will be able to do whatever pleases him without restriction until the Earth is ruined. That is the future of the Earth. Good and Evil cannot live together forever. Now we live in a world where both good and evil mixes but in the end people will have to make a decision. So no God doesn't do evil. He take away his protection and evil fill in.

This is from the book, the Midwich Cuckoos, written in 1957. It was made into a movie in 1960, with a sequel in 1964. The 2nd remake was in 1995, and now this, the 3rd. If that wasn't enough, there was also a TV series in in 2022. It's a good story, and based on how cuckoo birds leaving their eggs in others bird's nests to raise. But it seems like Hollywood has been recycling far too many stories & tropes lately. They need new material. Have they all forgotten how to read?

[@brianm.595]

Thats not really how things work. Many stories we see in movies are at their core possibly thousands of years old in some cases. New things are thought of sure but we still know stories like those from the Greek pantheon, or aesops fables, so forth and so on. Everything is recycled.

[@SchnuckySchuster]

I’ve seen the original in black and white. It was more suspenseful. The children were all blond and white skinned. This seems not to be possible nowadays. Back then it was very bad for a woman to have a child that did not look like its father or when the father was not around for quite a while. This horror is totally lost in our time which makes the new story less attractive in my opinion.

[@emrod9577]

Well the kids mainly looked like their mother. None looked like their father and also the fact that they only had the mother’s DNA is crazy. It’s pretty bad bc I believe only an exact clone of a human would have that problem

[@nicholaskehler9169]

I seriously doubt they were limited to their mother’s DNA. Several of the children were boys so they should have had an X and a Y chromosome not possible with only maternal DNA. Technically they were only said (in the recap anyway) to lack the father’s DNA that phrasing only means they aren’t the fathers.

[@nicholaskehler9169]

@@drewwar9344 My point was that the men the women were in relationships with were said not to be the fathers, not that there were no fathers. I am aware that swapping a single chromosome in an artificially fertilized ovum could be possible for these people but that would still not be solely maternal DNA. I simply meant that someone else was the father possibly several people but most likely that one guy who was the lone survivor from the first time.

I think for copyright reasons they don't put it in the description or title. Only in the video itself. It can't be easily searched. I think some movie studios try to get these recap videos taken down as people can't be bothered to watch the movie when you've just been shown the entire plot.
