I have given this way too much thought over the years, and decided that the travel agency that books the aliens' hunting expedition hates them so much for their repeated genocides and general jekishness that they sent them to a planet full of water on purpose. "We found the most dangerous hunting ground in this stellar cluster. But it's probably, y'know, too scary for you guys." They think they're badass Predator types and would never have thought that any species would develop weapons of pure evil like squirt guns and baseball bats.

I like the dumb online theory that they aren't aliens, they're demons (cloven hooves, arcane summoning circles) and that they're only weak to HOLY water

Either way, great read, thanks for sharing! Love your letterboxd too

Apparently I also think about this guy all the time now. But, he's weirdly turned into the birthday party Signs alien version of Garry/Jerry from Parks and Rec with a little bit of light Urkel sprinkled in there. He's "that guy" of the invasion team.
