User blog:SolZen321/Why are there so many Invaders?

So I just took a watching to Godzilla Monster Planet (about time...) and something got me thinking. The entire situation at the start of the movie, the aliens that visited Earth and why. Unlike previous blogs, this isn't a theory blog. In Ultraseven, there reason give in and outside of the show, for most of the invaders actions, ranging from colonization, to lack of resources. This is more fan fiction than anything, but I decided it made more sense here, than Ultra Fan Wiki. In the following is a list of reasons why Alien races may be invasive. Use this for your fiction, or maybe some points to argue it is not important. Note: Do not read if you haven't watched Godzilla Monster Planet, this contains some light spoilers.

1. Gaia Planet
A common theme in several Toku shows that involve Alien Invasion is that Earth is somehow more beautiful than most planets, that it's a Gaia world, a world of ecological and environmental stability (until we showed up, but not the point of this piece). In monster planet, the only other planet shown to be able to bare live was practically inhospitable and the possibility of finding another viable planet was rather low. Earth wasn't just seen as a resource rich world, it was special because it was practically the only known inhabitable world that didn't seem out to kill whatever was on it.

This may also be a reason why ULTRAMAN several species are noted for being superhuman, and the implication is not that they enhanced, or something special like the Ultras, but that their elevated physical abilities are natural. If I had to guess, it would be because these species evolved on much more hostile environments than most. As stated, necessity is the mother of invention, so many of these.

This is what attracts Aliens, particularly invaders to Earth in the movie, and could be what attracts them in the Ultra Series, a hospitable world, that is nowhere near as harsh as they are accustomed to. Then you have humanity, who seems to just abuse it, and you can possibly see why such races may be naturally aggressive to humanity. Yet, there may be another reason why Aliens came to Earth, they were driven off their homeworlds, like in Monster Planet, and by what, you may ask? Monsters.

2. Monster Planets
In Monster Planet, it was pointed out that on other planets besides Earth, monsters arise. They arise and force any civilizations off planet as they seem to just naturally target them. It seems civilizations and monsters basically cannot get along. That's the Godzilla Movie, in the Ultra Series, we have an event which is known to have caused giant monsters to appear, the lighting of the Plasma Spark, whose rays didn't just create the Ultras but also the first Kaiju. What you have then a recipe for a conflict heavy universe.

Habitable planets are scarce, and many of those are plagued with giant monsters. You then have races who engineer their own monsters to fight them, or to use them as tools of conquest. From this point of view, the Space Garrison seems less like pure altruism and more like the Ultra cleaning up the mistakes of their ancestors. This is also why I don't like this rumor/idea that Ultraman King made the Plasma Spark, because obviously, a being like him would've made a version of it, that could create the Ultras, or not even altar the planet's original inhabitants, and not cause wide spread chaos across the universe.

Final Thoughts
Now again, do not treat this as even a theory, from what information we have, it is impossible to definitively say this, if anything it was unintentionally implied. Of all the trends that annoy me in this fandom, such as parodies, and cringe humor, this need to reimagine the Ultras as flawed and less noble than their original interpretation is often little more than grimdark fluff being used as a crutch for actual story telling.

Now, if you wish to use these ideas as plot points, that's another story entirely.

Also I'm doing this because of a preview for the ULTRAMAN Manga, where they may be referencing the Plasma Spark.
