I had thus idea years ago of a movie where every apocalyptic event just happens to be happening all at the same time, independently of one another. Dinosaurs are coming, aliens are coming, zombies are coming, killer robots are coming, an ice age is coming, etc..

Now I fear, this is happening in reality. The nazis are coming. AI is coming. Climate change is coming. Diseases are coming. It's all very preventable, but society is fucking stupid and simply isn't preventing these preventable things. While we're distracted by one of these things, the other ones will kill us.

Or I'm severely sleep deprived right now and being overly pessimistic. People are working to help the environment all over the world. People are at least trying to offset all of these threats. And, in my opinion, we as a species have already survived more than we deserve to so maybe we shall weather these storms too

There's this 2009 comic by Warren Ellis called Supergod, humanity is in an arms race to develop gods, each country creating new catastrophic ways for us to destroy ourselves, and trying to beat each other to it.

    Sounds fun, but I don't think a serious film would work, it may work better as a parody film like how the Scary Movie films parody several films at once.

    No worries. Apophis is bringing in the Goa'uld next year.

    Sounds a bit like the Jackpot from The Peripheral, though that only shows the aftermath.
