This movie is self congratulatory "leader of the free world" US propaganda. The aliens were stripping planets of natural resources and then moving on and the US was supposed to be the world's uniting force against imperialist aliens? Unbelievable.

The funny thing about this movie is that humans are the virus*, just like aliens explicitly were.

*such fate seems inevitable while we ignore a rational existence

At least on this movie it was bad guys × bad guys.

Different from Avengers where Thanos was based and had good reasons to act
