Discover the relationship between Marvel heroes and aliens
If there is one topic that divides opinion and raises questions, it is the existence of extraterrestrials. Some say they’ve seen spaceships before or even communicated with one, while others believe it’s all just baseless theories. Whatever your guess, both come together in one place, the cinema.
In a universe of hypotheses of extraterrestrial life, it is not a novelty that film productions are so inspired by these subjects. No wonder films like ‘The Predator’, ‘The Riddle of Another World’ and ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ were successful.
To better understand the topic, check out what extraterrestrial theories are and their relationship to hero movies below. I wait!
They live among us
Throughout history, film productions have portrayed social portrayal, both in fact-based and fictional films. An example of this is the film ‘Eternal’, yet another MCU production full of social references, but with a curious fact: the allusion to the role of extraterrestrials in the life of human beings.
In the film the characters Sersi, Ikaris, Thena, Ajak, Gilgamesh, Druig, Kingo, Phastos, Makkaro and Sprite form a group called the “Eternals”. The members have lived on Earth for centuries disguised as humans and believe they are here to protect humanity from itself, coincidence? Maybe not.
There are conspiracy theories that aliens they have been among us in disguise for centuries, just like the Eternals, and have even interbred with humans, the so-called hybrids. This leads us to think that it wouldn’t be a surprise if an alien were more like a human than the stereotypical bug-eyed, big-armed greenery.
extraterrestrial technology
Technology has evolved and allowed for great transformations, such as the emergence of cell phones, computers, televisions, planes and weapons, but what does this have to do with extraterrestrials? In Eternos, the character Festus produces all the technological devices long before the human being thinks he needs them and, in order not to interrupt human evolution, he makes them available gradually.
And, just like in the film, there are hypotheses that the aliens would have made some of their technological devices available to human beings so that they could observe the evolution of civilization, based on stimuli, just like we do with rats in laboratories.
This would explain events such as Roswell in 1947, where thousands of people claim to have seen a UFO, but which according to the CIA were only fragments of a balloon. According to statements at the time, American physicist Bob Lazar claimed that the United States kept spacecraft hidden in Area 51, Nevada, for research and, coincidentally, after the end of World War II, technology took a leap forward. the evolution.
Pentagon report
In June 2021, the Pentagon (home of the US Department of Defense) released a new US government report on the appearance of still unidentified objects. The report caused repercussions and ignited people’s imagination about the existence of extraterrestrials, because the document does not explain the phenomenon and demonstrates the capability of the unknown technology.
Also according to Pentagon data, there are more than 143 reports that remain unexplained, of which 18 concern episodes with technology capabilities unknown to the United States and which do not indicate a relationship with Russia or China.
unexplained phenomena
Even if US officials are reluctant to talk about it extraterrestrial phenomena and avoiding the term “UFO”, the lack of explanations of the events have strengthened theories of unexplained phenomena.
Relating episodes like these to movies isn’t too difficult. In Eternals, a glacier appears without explanation after the heroes prevent a “celestial” from being born, and the popular and press begin to speculate about the event, as there is no explanation for the phenomenon.
And you, do you believe in aliens?
As you have seen, there are several theories on the matter, but there are still some scientific proof. Meanwhile, filmmakers rely on these assumptions in their productions. But the question that remains is: does life imitate art or does art imitate life? Can’t wait for the continuation of this “film”.
