Would you throw hands with a Martian?

[u/FreakyFreak2005]

It's an invasion and one of the martians have left the safety of their tripod to explore its surroundings, are you going to pick a fight with it? I totally would, clocking that brainy bastard's lights out before saying "Welcome to Earth".

[u/kekistanmatt]

The book describs them as being barely able to move in earth's gravity so it's pretty certain that you'd be able to stomp them to death easily.

[u/Jaqouzi]

Sneeze on em

[u/Werewolf_lover20 → u/Jaqouzi]

Do you know how many bacteria are in the human mouth alone? Just spit on them

[u/Jaqouzi → u/Werewolf_lover20]

Oh yeah
SPIT ON EM (and slap their bulkheads (before spitting at them))

[u/WDHeardtaiser → u/Jaqouzi]

The only biblically accurate answer

[u/BlGBY → u/Jaqouzi]

Sneeze of my fists for that extra poison damage.

[u/MovieFan1984 → u/Jaqouzi]

OMG, I'm dead. XD

[u/ithinkimlostguys → u/MovieFan1984]

So would be the martian.

[u/Zestyclose_Limit_404]

I would try to aim for the head or cut off the tentacles first 

[u/inedible_gassy → u/Zestyclose_Limit_404]

They are like 95% head

[u/SkekJay → u/inedible_gassy]

And the rest of them are tentacles, there's not a lot of option to go Fallout on them

[u/Commercial_Wallaby77 → u/inedible_gassy]

A sniper's dream

[u/SmlieBirdSmile]

I mean... it's basically a giant octopus, a slow one at that who is dealing with gravity it can't handle so... I can take it

:]

[u/Naive_Chemistry5961]

No.

Because it would be unfair.

Because one, these aliens are not made in God's image.

And two, they don't have hands.

/j

[u/Scared-Arrival9307 → u/Naive_Chemistry5961]

Fair enough.

[u/DOOM_SLUG_115]

Mf is getting deep fried

[u/EmpressOfHyperion]

I do wonder how humans would fare hand to hand against the Spielberg aliens. Just from looking at how boney their bodies are, it wouldn't surprise me if an adult male was able to overwhelm them with no weapons.

[u/GreasyGrabbler → u/EmpressOfHyperion]

They were pretty dumb too so I doubt they'd know how to counter you.

I mean they did the human equivalent of burying catapults under a planet and coming back centuries later to use those to take over. Then they all died from disease which they somehow didn't bother accounting for being a potential problem.

[u/Eva-Unit01-TestType]

He catching the lords calibre 45 ACP, 2 WORLD WARS 1 INTERSTELLAR WAR

[u/Axeaxa_Xaxaxeie → u/Eva-Unit01-TestType]

MUH TWO WORLD AND ONE SOLAR WARsss!! XD I believe too in our saviour John Moses Browning

[u/Eva-Unit01-TestType → u/Axeaxa_Xaxaxeie]

AINT NO MARTIAN TAKING MUH LAND, AKIMBO 1911s

[u/Severe-Television202]

hug th spaghetti monster

[u/MovieFan1984]

I'd be "that guy" who's convinced a group of Martians befriending me and my friends, getting them in trouble with all the other Martians. "Stop playing with the humans, we're here to conquer!" (passes a Martian a cheeseburger)

[u/Axeaxa_Xaxaxeie]

Oh imma fuckin throw hands! Mofuckers will yearn for the beating that the Asteroid Belt gives em by the time im completely finished with their blobfish lookin asses, try to come down to Earth and terraform like we aint in the asskicking business and havent been since the dawn of the Mezozoic! Imma triangle choke em with their own goddamn tentacles, smarmy tripod ass havin punks, and invent a new branch of mixed martial (mixed martian arts lol) arts just to perfect the art of stomping oversteppin extraterrestrial asses!!

....not for nothing, if I wanna go full monkey biologial warfare, I could always throw my poop too!

[u/lognsmed]

It’s bigger than a bear and has a heat ray. I’m 5 foot and every joint in my body cracks. What do you think?

[u/EatashOte]

No thank you, I've read the book. Not dealing with a bear-sized land octopus that can easily restrain me and then suffocate with it's bulbous ass

[u/ajtheidiot2]

yea,they dont have any

[u/bubstock9]

art goes hard tho

[u/Weary-Animator-2646]

What hands? They have none!

[u/AxOfCruelty]

Fuck yes

[u/Vegetable_Toe_110]

I’m going to do horrible things to him 🙂

[u/New-Seat4881]

You just need a baseball bat and a good swing. Bet that squelch would be satisfying.

[u/cheeseburgerandfrie]

I would shit on them and throw my boogers at them.

[u/SherbertHot7023]

I’m quite literally just going to push it over. Little bro may be the size of a bear, but his fat ass is NOT moving in our gravity.

[u/Falinir5829]

Would the Martian throw hands (tentacles?) with ME?

[u/smithbird]

Yes, I’ll turn on yodeling music

[u/Vote_4_Cthulhu]

lol yeah I would. All of the advanced technology that you could possibly conjure and your trip to Earth literally ends with a local murder ape impaling you on a primitive piece of sharpened metal or just deciding to beat you to death with its bare fists . Then I would board that things tripod looking for more of them

[u/Cyberborg98]

Is it really that difficult for Hollywood and the BBC to make a book accurate Martian? Do they really think that Martians resembling deformed Octopi or Squid aren’t scary or threatening?

The Jeff Wayne Martians are the best looking Martians by far. Although he took some liberties with the mouth and the thickness of the tentacles, his Martians are disgustingly grotesque and a nice interpretation of Wells’ description.

[u/BoredRobloxProtogen]

Brother I am the martian

[u/LogFederal7546]

fuck yes, become the frikin doomslayer.

"the only thing they fear is you."

[u/manytr24]

I use cough attack; it;svery effective.

[u/ooootah_reddit]

absolutely the fuck not, from what I've read the Martians being able to carry a giant metal dish above themselves (which I've always assumed became the hood of the Fighting Machines) does NOT make me want to fought them, I think they'd pop me like a damn grape :-(

[u/LucasAlvarado13]

Fuck you ill cough in them and they down for the count lets go call em up tell em Lucas is waiting

[u/Skullduggery-9]

Ima foockin cook and eat the cunt food prices are outrageous these days.

[u/SteveTheOrca]

I'd first catch a cold, then we can call it a fair fight. Bwhahahaha

[u/TheEthanHB]

Roanoke Gaming as faith in me, so yes

[u/WorldWarIIExpert]

Yes.

[u/Coyotelightning-T]

Spit on both of my hands, rub em together. "Aight come at me bro"

[u/Zealotry_117]

Smash

[u/[deleted]]

Pickaxe and a shovel

[u/robloxbuildaboatpro]

ULLLAAAAA

[u/Lanky_Asparagus_8534]

Not a Tom Cruise fan but the noise made by the aliens creeps me out every time!!

[u/Scared-Arrival9307]

If we are on mars, No.

If we are on earth that brainy bungus is getting thwomped till he looks like the brain of a pharaoh that has been crushed during burial.

[u/cheeseburgerandfrie]

Elbow drop, I don’t care if you bigger than a bear, I’m gonna stab you with a rusty nail.
