In the 2009 Oscar-snubbed masterpiece Monsters vs Aliens, the alien mothership is defeated by a half-man, half-cockroach scientist doing DDR.
Oh. Em. Gee. That’s a movie brimming full of jokes that didn’t stand the test of time.
supernova, this is red dwarf. we actually have one! code nimoy! i repeat, CODE NIMOY!!
I love that this is a real thing.
Futurama did it, in the 3rd act of “Reincarnation”
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts just cut out the middleman and had Dubstep Bees. Great show, btw.
a movie about intensely organized alien race that mainly communicates via sick dance moves.
We already did that, it’s called “Barbie” and it is art.
Why else did you think the Kens had that highly choreographed dance battle?
Finally a decent idea for a The Last Starfighter remake.
don’t mushrooms(fungus in general) have some kind of communication system that basically functions like a hive mind?
I think when you’re thinking in terms of multiple cellular organisms sharing a singular information pathway there are many examples that fit the criteria that aren’t necessarily the way humans would communicate with each other.
I think mushrooms are more of a singular organism with a vast nervous system spreading underground and occasionally popping up above to reproduce. Which kinda sorta fits, but still
Pretty sure the best version is going to come out of Bollywood. I’ll wait for the english dub.
I mean, locust hoards, stampedes, feeding frenzies, a flock of starlings, a school of fish.
Then examples of mob behaviors just in humans…
Hiveminds definitely exist in nature on a temporary basis, no one ever said it was psychic.
If the premise of a joke isn’t true, it’s not a good joke
Mob/swarm behaviors are way different from hives. Not only are those temporary and contextual, but they only cover a small portion of an animal’s life. Flocks of birds and schools of fish are temporary formations that animals can be part of, but they also nest as a separate formation away from the flock/school/swarm etc etc.
A hive lives and breathes together in every moment of their lives. Even when an individual is away from the hive, everything they do is still for the hive. Packs have more in common with hives than flocks or schools or swarms.
And one such pack animal just so happens to rule Earth and be its most advanced species. Maybe we’d have more in common with the hive mind than we think - and it’s up to one teen’s dance troupe to save the world and unite our species!
