- Nigerians are more bestial than insectoid alien invaders.
- All Earth governments are too dim to realize they could acquire a shit-ton of advanced alien technology in exchange for a shopping cart full of cat food. Nigerians may be subhuman monsters, but they’re brighter than everybody else on the planet.
- Seriously, for a movie that was supposed to be about xenophobia, the portrayal of Nigerians was pretty shocking. Or maybe the movie was secretly in support of, or at least neutral toward, xenophobia?
- Apartheid would’ve ended a lot sooner if Mandela and the ANC had cobbled together a few mechas.
