>Aliens being burned by water in Signs doesn't make sense because the aliens should have been able, due to their technology, to know that the water on the earth was dangerous for them I don't get why this bothered people so much.
Let's imagine for a moment that we're in space looking for something we need really badly (the movie wasn't explicit about what the aliens were looking for, but the director said it was psychics) and we find it on an alien planet. The problem is, it rains sulfuric acid. But the good news is, it rains acid in a very predictable way, so we can easily avoid it. So simple solution: go down to the planet to look for the things we need when it isn't raining, leave before it starts raining again.
1. The aliens do not understand weapons. They evolved with strong natural weapons so their brains don't work like ours do in that regard, so the idea that humans would throw water at them simply never occurred to them. 2. Similarly, they don't wear clothing, presumably for similar reasons: they're well adapted for whatever environment they evolved in and never needed to develop that way of thinking. So they never thought to wear protective suits when coming to Earth because they don't think that way.
shut the fuck up; the rest of the world kills the aliens with regular, non-holy water
Nicholas Evans
they had spaceships....
Oliver Anderson
>They evolved with strong natural weapons so their brains don't work like ours do in that regard, so the idea that humans would throw water at them simply never occurred to them. Is this the same species that has achieved interstellar travel?
Logan Jenkins
There's water everywhere. Even in the air, but somehow... the aliens were able to survive without a special suit.
Benjamin Nguyen
Mayne shamylan is just fucking dumb? Most of his other movies would suggest that's the case
Liam Gonzalez
They sent their weaklings down without any technology so they didn't have to worry about losing it. The aliens were desperate and looking for humans for an unknown reason so they pulled up, grabbed as many as they could and dipped.
Carson Turner
It's a bit worse that that >it rains sulfuric acid >planet's surface is mostly sulfuric acid >every single lifeform has sulfuric acid in their body >dominant species pumps sulfuric acid everywhere >there's even some suspended in the air I think I like the demon/holy water theory more
Jose Lopez
>implying demons can't have spaceships
Jordan Cox
UFOs depicted as a bucket of bolts crash landing on Earth has always annoyed me. Any species that can master space travel can probably land the fucker too.

>that feelio when you are high IQ so you know they are demons and not aliens
>Similarly, they don't wear clothing, presumably for similar reasons: they're well adapted for whatever environment they evolved in Then why use spaceships, why not just fly with jetpacks?
I think they would have worked out the benefits of clothing while developing space flight.
Parker Hall
Did you quote Scary Movie 3?
Alexander Collins

Luke Rodriguez
The Earth has 37 million billion gallons of water vapour in the air anyway though
Jaxon Peterson
>they're well adapted to the environment they evolved in Good thing for them that the movie takes place in an environment they evolved in, then. Not to mention space travel in general. Was this their first space flight + invasion? Is that what it was?
Jordan Sullivan
yes, the concentration of water in the air is the same as in a glass of water how can you even breathe being that dumb?
William Scott
Imagine visiting mustafar as a human and being surprised when a horta throws a glob of lava at you
Lucas Morris

Joseph Johnson
I enjoyed this film and actually appreciate it more now. But the problem with the ending is that it's so contrived, it comes across not as the divine plan it was meant to be, but the clumsy machination of a writer who sees himself as divine. Given this is Shamalama at the height of his ego, this is entirely plausible, and distasteful.
Andrew Fisher
They're aliens user, but they're supposed to represent angels, not demons. They came here to help us, but instead find our instinctive hostility towards them based simply on their appearance and demeanor, and our own self-created fear of extra terrestrials. They're from a pacifist utopia with little interplanetary relationships so encountering violent humans completely caught them off guard. That one alien was trying to cure Mel Gibson's daughter's asthma but predictably, it got it's shit pushed in. The point of the movie that humanity is so lost we would be unable to recognize help if it ever appeared. Gibson's character becomes a better person by the end, so in a way, the aliens achieved their goal by helping a few people like him because they were turned into a common enemy.
Noah Ross
>be Shabambylon alium >melt on contact with water >fly 50,000 lightyears to a planet that's 65% water, rains water, has water vapor in the air, to harvest creatures that are primarily made of water
The plot hole isn't that they dissolved on contact with water but that they didn't instantly melt the second they opened their spacecraft doors. Without space suits on they presumably breathed in the air, which means their lungs would have melted and caused hemorrhaging immediately.
Tyler Bennett
Water molecules don't burn our skin, anony.
Anyways, I'm going back to bed and your argument is invalid. Good day.

Biggest mistake in film was showing the aliens, it was really creepy when you saw it in the reflection of the tv then they ruined it

If a neutral chemical like H2O burns you, diving into a planet that's not only mostly water but also has water vapor in the air constantly is one of the most retarded things one could do.

Why would demons use spaceships? Why would demons make signs in crop fields like aliens did years before? Why would demons use invisible spaceships?
It never bothered me because I always viewed them as modern-folklore aliens, rather than science fiction aliens.

It makes no sense because there's moisture in the air all the time. They would basically dissolve in our atmosphere.

invisible lights, duh

Oliver Cook

Andrew Stewart
Plot holes aside I really enjoyed this movie
Luis Hall
An extremely easy way to fix this issue is to have a plot point where they say the water of the town was contaminated with something. Mud or algae, something not harmful to humans. Or say that fluoride killed the aliens. Boom....problem solved. Is that easy. They even hinted that the water was bad with the little girl.
This is the most retarded plot hole on earth
Ryan Parker
>the water was holy because his daughter spit in it that's fucking retarded. Also blessing his house didn't do so shit if the demons could still walk inside it no problem
Alexander Murphy
this is an unsatisfying response
Adrian Sullivan
Based and christpilled
Easton Hughes
No its absolutely not if you would just use your imagination for a second im sure you could come up with multiple reasons why they behaved like they did.
Now factor in that they are supposed to posess a mind that evolved entirely independent from us or our environment.
Jayden Torres
you mean infrared mutt
Evan Hill
They can build structures for example.
Very few mammals do that.
James Butler
it's the demons they were burned by holy water
Ayden Cruz
Just because it's retarded doesn't mean that it isn't the plot. They're demons and if you had an IQ of above 75 you'd be able to connect the dots and see that everything alluded to the "aliens" being demons
Ayden Morales
Water has all kinds of organisms in the water, bacteria and shit. Theres hormones and medicine people flush
Very easy plot hole to fix
Nolan Morgan
If they could think of protecting themselves from vacuum with a spaceship they could think of protecting themselves from acid with a suit.
Josiah Richardson
Technically if demons come from outer space that also makes them aliens.
Blake Cruz
>go to a planet >see it's full of toxic elements >GO AWAY Why didn't they?
Nolan Butler
Who said they think at all? Maybe the first 5 million aliens sent to space died until their hive-mind opted to try vacuum protection? Maybe their entire species learns like an AI?
Hunter Foster
but we never see them in space. we only see lights in the sky
Tyler Edwards
>imagine the excuses for the plotholes Yes, I could do that but honestly, I don't care enough about Signs to do so.
>factor in that they are supposed to posess a mind that evolved entirely independent from us or our environment They were able to exist in our environment without any protective elements so theirs can't be that different. They also had ample to time to observe humanity. It just doesn't add up.
Liam Howard
>Technically if demons come from outer space that also makes them aliens. T. Ancient Astronauts Theorist
Charles Sanchez
The popular theory is that they were in danger or dying and needed humans quickly
Ethan Rodriguez
That’s the obvious answer and that’s what HG Wells did, Shamalan’s problem is he has to try to make it look like an original idea so he can’t use microbes.
Jackson King
>they were slaves ordered by a higher evolved species >they were drones of a species that learns by trial and error >they were desperate >their knowledge is incredibly specific and they simply never encountered water in its liquid form >its part of a ritualistic behaviour
Just some ideas.
Ayden Miller
Its really not plotholes when it comes to aliens. It would be a plothole if their behaviour seemed familiar to us.
Levi Kelly
They were breaking into a house. Human or alien I'd fucking kill them.
Ryder Williams
Dude, there's like humidity in the atmosphere. If you wanna just get down to it, there's a lot of water/ice/vapor in this planet, and they should have know that toxic shit was abundant to the point we pump it everywhere.
They must've known that H2O is toxic to them. Before just going out into an alien planet's atmosphere they must analyze its contents to make sure it's breathable for them.
Its stupid, whatever, argue that they could not have known WE'RE not killed by water, but you can't argue against how stupid it was they didn't know this instakill shit was lying around everywhere.
Luke Martin
>It would be a plothole if their behaviour seemed familiar to us. Why? Since there are no known alien species IRL, for all we know, aliens might follow similar evolutionary path and respond to stimuli in a similar manner as we do. Especially if they are humanoid.
David Morris
>they were drones of a species that learns by trial and error I’ve heard that theory about irl greys before, that they’re biological android drones produced by a probably mechanical probe sent by a distant or possibly extradimensional intelligence, it supposedly explains a lot of weird observations by contactees.

>the rest of the world All we know is that the Middle East was the first place to start repelling them. i.e. a holy land with very little water.

The aliens are demons, the water used to kill them is holy (as all water is holy to some degree) and the bat that Merrill uses is a sword.
John Lewis

Ayden Murphy

David Rogers
>film traumatised me as a kid Poor little boy
Oliver Lee
It didn't need to. It's usage was subtly symbolic.
Luis Cook
I just re-watched the scene. Merrill holds the end of the bat at the demon, as if to threaten it with a thrust. Baseball bats could not do such a thing. A sword could. He wields it as if it were a sword.
They don't understand weapons but they understand man-made barriers? Bruh...
Josiah Adams

What makes you think they're alien symbols? They're demonic sigils. There are even sigils drawn on their bodies. And they have cloven hooves.

Strawman. The original point was if water kills them on contact, and there's water in the air then why didn't they die?

Justin Hughes
Honestly never heard of them being demons until these threads, and if it's true then I like the movie a whole lot more.
Isaac Foster
Fuck you guys, here's a real question: What the fuck did they do to that dog?
>The movie was literally a movie about God having a plan to save this family and help the father regain his faith. Yes, with shoddy alien invasion cosmesis.
That they made crop circles and that there were lights in the air implies those circles were intended to be seen from the air. I guess demons come from above.
Hunter Myers
I would legitimately be having too much fun killing aliens with a super soaker to even consider any greater meaning. God’s plan was stupid.
Gavin Phillips

The water was full of estrogen from birth control The aliens were such mra incels that the touch of of female hormones burnt their bodies.

They're used for summoning. >there were lights in the air That's just a traditional sign of the end times. It's a cosmological symbol that big shit is happening. The falling birds are a symbol of the same. Why are you so dead set on them being aliens when there's nothing in the movie to suggest it compared to all the evidence of demons?

Why? That makes it even dumber.

Watch the baby monitor scene with the understanding that they're demons. The sounds they pick up sound like Hell, not aliens. youtube.com/watch?v=UH8liVnrU5o
Josiah Wright
Haven’t seen the movie in years so correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there a scene where they see news footage showing a bird flying into something in the sky which heavily implies it’s a cloaked spaceship?
Eli Barnes
See Lights in the sky and falling birds are Christian symbols of the end times. Of course they try to make you assume it's a cloaked spaceship, but you're supposed to be able to put everything together afterwards.
Isaac Collins
In other words M. Night tried to have it both ways because he sucks.
Connor Ortiz
It's a movie about religion. He just knew if he didn't outright say it people would assume it was an alien invasion movie because of the times we live in. Of course, some students of the occult would say there's no difference. Pic related is a 'demon' Aleister Crowley claimed to have regular contact with.
The bird didn’t just run into nothing. It clearly hit a physical object in the sky.
Jack Baker
I’ll say this about his movies: they’re pretty well made but they exist inside this alternate reality bubble that immediately pops when you try to prod it with any kind of outside logic.

So water is the quickest way to kill the alien-demons but Mel Gibson also simply chopped off the fingers of the one that was trapped in a pantry. If that’s the case, wouldn’t good old fashioned bullets also do the trick?

Some of them were probably shot to shit, but they trade force for stealth. Wish they'd have shown what was happening across the world during the war, but I understand the journey was with the characters, I just still like to imagine it sometimes. The scenario is unique.
Brayden Phillips
Yeah but see . Even if you want them to be demons, the movie showed that they could be harmed by other methods than water. Not once did anyone try to just shoot them? In a rural farming area in Pennsylvania where just about everyone would have at least a hunting rifle?
Joseph Brooks

I think it's supposed to be taken either way, along with the "swing away" stuff and the boy's asthma being there, like the girl's hypochondria, to save them. Either it was the universe just happening to fall into place or it was God.
Jack Miller
Based God sending down the least effective alien invasion of all time so Mel could get his faith back and the rest of the earth could have fun squirting them. Also: somewhere on earth, some guy 100% incapacitated one of the aliens and then repeatedly raped it.
Mason Bell
And that makes sense given the conversation between Joaquin and Mel when they're on the sofa after the lights appear. It's up to the audience to choose what they believe.
Brayden Collins
yes, it's a story about a man trying to reconnect with God. This happens during an alien invasion.

Lucas Garcia
Kek good thing the owner of the house was chopping veggies with his silver blade kitchen knife when the alien walked in.
they were aliens who happened to be demons. this is obvious if you paid attention. water alone isn't enough to harm them - they stand on a shingled barn rooftop at night which would have condensation on it during a summer evening, and they walk through a cornfield which would also be full of condensation, but the aren't injured here. they are injured by the water in the 3rd act because this water happened to be water drawn from a holy man - it is holy water.

Our bodies are full of chemicals and elements that would kill us in largd doses. Hell you can die from drinking too much water.

If he did say that it makes literally no sense and sounds like him just retconning his own story to seem deeper than it was
Gabriel Richardson
>due to their technology, to know that the water on the earth was dangerous for them They did know. Its pretty clearly stated that they chose places far away from water to avoid the danger. The real issue is why they would eat humans who are made of water. maybe their final cooking process wuld involve drying us out entirely.
Leo Williams
I fucking hate ppl who make the water complaint. They exolicitly say in the film that the aliens are there to scout.
except for back in act 2 where they clearly state that the aliens are only targeting places away from water.

Man I FUCKING WISH aliens would come into my house. I’d either get killed or I’d fuck their shit up like firecrackers up your asshole on 4th of July. One of two possibilities exist: we meet aliens and they’re so advanced they fucking btfo our species and planet in an instant or we fuck them up. I wish an extraterrestrial nigger would come over here so we could find out. BITCH. I’m just sitting here SHAKING waiting for a scrawny little gray assed faggot to poke it’s big head into my door frame so I could show it what a 12 gauge slug does to a lump of meat. And I’m not taking about no gay ass humanity fuck yeah bullshit cringe I mean I just want some pompous ass aliens to land out here so we can shoot, rape, and kill them to once again confirm our superiority at life.

Camden Ramirez
Even if they where, that doesn't explain shit the question, why they attack.
Nathan Davis
They can clearly see from space that Earth is a water planet. Why the fuck wouldn’t they turn around and go somewhere else? It’s like if humans dropped down naked onto the surface of the Sun
Jayden Gray
Wasn't it also part of the story, that they planted humans there, so they can harvest them? Maybe I just confuse this with another alien story.
Anthony Reyes
did the aliens underestimate us, thinking with all our weapons water is the last thing we would use since all human civilization is on land? Are the aliens so "alien" that conventional fire arms wouldnt work on killing them due to a biological healing factor like what the fuck
Leo Wood
>son has asthma attack >sits on his father (a priests) lap >father gropes the sons chest suggestively >son grinds his ass into his dads crotch, grabbing onto his pants tightly as if he is being penetrated

The little girl was right, the water WAS contaminated.
Signs II clears this up as the better space aliens (who are space Jews, somehow) arrive and cleanup our planet.
IIRC toward the end of the movie they hear on the radio that the aliens had suddenly gtfo because they were getting slaughtered. The one they fought in their house was a straggler that got left behind.
Evan Smith
This. What evidence do you have that they were looking for people with abilities?
Alexander Roberts
I swear I remember a film where iron could fuck them up because it is magnetic. Maybe it was iron?
Josiah Kelly
Shut up imbecile, you are saying that god let hell break loose in the world so one man could regain faith? Are you saying that THE JEWS believe in the same bible as mel gibson character? Are you saying that they are not fucking aliens?
Cameron Perry
It was just a regular steel kitchen knife. The alien at the end didn’t even directly die because of the water. The water hurt it but Joaquin pretty much just beat it to death with his baseball bat.
Hunter Anderson
>hurr they don’t have weapons They don’t use weapons because they don’t want humans to respond with nukes. The movie literally explained that. >hurr they’re naked They don’t wear clothes because their “skin” has high tech camouflage capability. >hurr there’s h2o in the air Ok so dump some water on your computer. The water in the air doesn’t bother it so what’s the problem? The aliens/demons’ skin gets messed up when it’s wet. It’s probably not totally organic. >hurr then why did they come to a planet with water They came to harvest some humans. They put their crop circles in areas without bodies of water, and as the movie explicitly said, they stayed within one mile of the circles. They grabbed up some people and left. >still, so weak if water can kill them wahh The water didn’t kill them. It slowed them down enough to be bludgeoned with a bat

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Shamylons words You mentioned aliens and I wondered if we could talk about your film Signs. What prompted you to take a stab at science fiction?
I stand by my previous answer, but I will tell you that I had a lot of pressure at the time to try science fiction. I'm not the sort of guy to do the next Star Wars or the next Aliens. Those are perfectly good movies, but I wanted to attempt something deeper and more universal. You know what I said about giving a Dracula movie a deceptive title? That's what I did with Signs. That was a story about a war between Heaven and Hell. The aliens were demons and the people's dead loved ones were angels. That was why I had them pray several times in the movie. It was about faith.
So the water that killed the aliens was holy water?
(He laughs). Most critics just didn't get that. My publicist tells me that you wrote a very negative review based on the water concept yourself. You guys just didn't use your heads. Water is holy in general. Many cultures revere it. Baptisms, holy water at a church, some pagan groups worship the sea or rivers. It's not a difficult concept, but some people just can't wrap their small minds around that.
I think it was the idea that aliens would invade the earth, a planet that's like 75% water, has water that falls from the sky and-
No. Bullshit. You're still being small-minded. The characters in that movie called them aliens, but it was never explicitly demonstrated what they were or why they were on earth. People are much more accepting of aliens these days, and the idea was that if demons appeared among us, they would be perceived as aliens.
Lincoln King
The “holy water” only served to injure the alien. In the end it was beaten to death by a regular old baseball bat.
Josiah Thomas
This something awful interview is fake, user.
Nicholas Ward
Fire burns humans yet they live in a place where fire occurred regularly...wtf god, get better writers.
Austin Lee
>They don’t use weapons because they don’t want humans to respond with nukes. Why would they believe that humans immediately response with mass destruction weapons, which would fuck up both sides, just because the enemy has guns? >They came to harvest some humans. Humans consists 60% of water. >The water didn’t kill them. It slowed them down enough to be bludgeoned with a bat It burned them like acid. That one didn't die just because it was just a few drops, which still had a bad effect on it.
Jose Turner
kek underrated
Alexander Miller
Stop believing Angels are good creatures, they are actually creepy shit who looks abominations like pic related.
The supposed holy water was completely unnecessary to kill the “demons” though. Sure it was the quickest way but a shotgun blast to the face would’ve been just as effective.
Luis Watson
Is everybody here completely fucking dense?
On the literal, surface level, they are aliens. However, they are *metaphors* for demons.
Brayden Gomez
Pajeets don't know what humidity is.
Michael Myers
Holy FUCKING BASED!
Aaron Bell
Sure but we’re mocking just how hamfisted and poorly constructed that metaphor was. Signs isn’t a bad movie exactly. It looks great and and has some really great tension and scares. The cracks in Shyamalan’s writing were definitely starting to show though.
Hunter Rodriguez
It’s not a real interview.
Landon Lopez
I agree. It was an unnecessary plot twist. They had not weapons, no armor, easily exploited weak points and for some reason they thought it was a good idea to start an attack.
Luke Lopez
Yes it is. It's right there for you to see
Nathan Sanders
>source: something awful lmao
Josiah Reyes
No? All we know is “some in the Middle East found a primitive way to destroy them” the fucking cradle of Christianity, Jerusalem, etc.? Fucking alien gets burned by holy water in the priest’s house. They’re not necessarily demons although they could be that’s not necessarily what’s implied by the holy water, it could simply be God’s weapon to humanity against the Godless reptilian locusts of the universe.
Anthony Reed
israel borders the fucking med what are you on about
Sebastian Fisher
This xeno should have gotten a sticky before James Lipton.
Josiah Anderson
>They’re probably vegetarians because they would have realized the benefits of such a diet
God literally delivered the Earth from evil (holy water) and the priest found faith again. Probably one of the most kino things of our generation.
Luis Perry
>WELL LOOK HERE FELLAS THESE HERE HUMANS ARE OBSCURING THE SPECTACULAR VIEW OF THE COUNTRYSIDE! BETTER BASH ALL THAT WOOD DOWN! truly bros who didn’t deserve what they got
Isaiah Powell
Again, the holy water wasn’t even a requirement to kill them. Literally any weapon would’ve been effective. While Mel was having his little adventure, U.S. soldiers and rednecks were probably just shooting the fuck out of them.
Thomas Jackson
>God literally delivered the Earth from evil (baseball) FTFY
Grayson Garcia
What do you mean? Like abductions/greys opposed to Pacific Rim?

>Why would they believe that humans immediately response with mass destruction weapons, which would fuck up both sides, just because the enemy has guns? Because their weapons are too advanced. There’s a whole bit of expository dialog meant to placate the brainlets, but obviously it didn’t work >muh h2o It’s not the chemical that hurts them. Moisture fizzles through whatever that holographic skin or armor is. >akshually there is moisture in the air! Ok well I hope you keep all your electronics wrapped in plastic at all times to protect them from all that water in the air
>content policing on 4channel Absolute scum. There's a reason everyone hates jannies, and you're not even that, you're a janny >wannabe of all things.
Juan Cruz
>Because their weapons are too advanced. Oh, nose. We are way too awesome. We can't develop simpler weapons anymore. We are too advanced for that. >There’s a whole bit of expository dialog I remember that. I made no sense. >It’s not the chemical that hurts them. Moisture fizzles through whatever that holographic skin or armor is. Literally no answer >Ok well I hope you keep all your electronics wrapped in plastic at all times to protect them from all that water in the air You really have no answer anymore.
Adrian Morris
>>One of the news says they were defeated in Israel were water isnt plenty but faith is strong Why would Jews have beef with demons? They're waiting for the Antichrist, if anything they'd partner up with the demons and sell out mankind to them
Brody Hernandez
>wahhh no answer All of that was answers. You are the one who has no argument. The movie itself answered all of it and all you can say is >makes no sense Maybe you are just unintelligent?
Ian Murphy
Yeah. They didn’t know humanity had fucking Christ on their side.
