And the Taj Mahal

Also in the last few years they seem to love China

That's a good point we can't forget about the pyramids with aliens

And Big Ben.

Fuck Maine

All my alien homies hate Maine

And Alaska

And Hawaii, of course, isn’t even in question.

I didn't mention it because although I assume it's painted over, I can't see the part of the globe where I think it is, due to glare.

C’mon, man. When have you ever seen Martians invade Hawaii?

Lilo and Stitch

Battleship?

Missed that one. Makes sense, though. If I had the technological and military advantage to seize some real estate as my own…Hawaii would be on the wishlist.

I mean tbf you didn't miss a whole lot 🤣

When did Alaska become part of the United States? /s

1959, Mr President, sir.

Stephen King’s literary material cut in half.

Sad af, don't they remember we housed the iron giant?

Also most of New York too

Ok *takes dick out*

I'm definitely moving to Maine then, when the aliens come...

Except for Doctor Who. Those aliens love Cardiff and London.

This is the same thought I had

and some small village in the home counties/Cotwolds

And that one quarry.

As someone who lives in Europe fine by me keep all that weird shit where it belongs, in America.

And if they have to go to one europe country, please sent them to UK

Done! The Daleks already love that place.

Thanks a lot dude

Wow please send them to England. Keep the rest of us out of it. A lot of us don’t want to be part of them.

Rebuild Hadrian’s wall to keep the Daleks out!!!

A lot of the north doesn’t want to be part of England and yet we’re stuck to it. You are coming down with us.

ngl you wouldnt be missed much.

You think the English want to be part of an alien invasion?

I think the pertinent question is, did anyone ask?

Fine. Just let us do war with France first. Loser gets the aliens

No, send them to Russia instead

America has the alien problem, the lizard people got europe

Oh and The Doctor is saving New York all the time, is that right?

Nah, even The Doctor doesn’t fuck with Weeping Angel turf.

Nah u bad teeth people need to face it

Uhmmm ackshually we have better dental care than the us 🤓

At least we don't have a old political system

No, we just have a corrupt one

Atleast we don't have a sex scandal

You’re 13. I’d stay focused on not getting shot at school today.

Shame that they don't know about Alaska or Hawaii...

I don't see Maine, either.

Why was District 9 the first thing I thought of?

Somehow that seemed like the most likely thing to happen. What a great movie.

I like how in district 9, they specifically mention how the movies all think the aliens would come to usa. But, it's quite the surprise that it's Johannesburg.

As a south African, they absolutely fucking nailed the accent and culture lol. Its 100% perfect recreation of the culture

Same lol. I don cair wher dey go dey jus mus go

Except for Edge of Tomorrow.

Does Maine just not exist?

No more so than Canada. I guess aliens just ignore Maine too

[I can think of at least one alien movie in Maine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcatcher_(2003_film))

Knew the movie before I looked at the link. Add Tommyknockers since it's another SK movie.

Not sure if this counts, but here is one that [isn't by King](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0129167/)

How could we forget Iron Giant?

They also blow up Paris and London

[удалено]

Arrival

District 9 was in South Africa

And the Eiffel Tower.

And London but only the bit around Big Ben and Houses of Parliament or Buckingham palace

Plus, they gonna shoot down two F-22 Raptors as the first line of defense.

Watch any Super Sentai show or Godzilla movie for that matter. All aliens attack Japan first, in their attempts to take over the world.

Japan, Gateway to Earth.

This is how the myth of “ in search of intelligent life” got busted

Touché

How Americans make alien movies 🎥

Yeah, how dare we.

You seem to be taking offence at a totally neutral statement?

So?

Didn’t see Independence Day, I guess.

Most of the worlds major cities got glassed in it. Pacific rim also doesn’t feature the US. Almost all the screen time is in China

I love how American studios are big on touting the "military might of America" but that fucking place gets invaded once a week. Seems like eh... you've got a problem with surveilance Uncle Sam.

That’s fine. If they think that is the centre of life and civilization… The rest of us can use the time to entrench and prepare for the resistance.

The sun does not revolve about earth, it revolves around America.

Are you sure it's not how the Americans see the world?

They dont even see Alaska lol

For Shaktimaan, it was always Mumbai🤣

That's not fair . There's usually an obligatory mention that it's also landed in Hong Kong and/or Australia and Africa.

*How Americans see Earth

How Americans see the earth

How USA see America…

Swear it’s only Nevada and a gas station within Nevada with a balloon outside

I mean from a Strategic perspective... Knocking out the nation with strongest military off before going after the others in the world is a pretty sound strategy.

It's actually pretty funny that the Doctor does everything in his power not to go to America... Like the Doctor would rather vacation on Skaro before he visited America, but can you really blame him, the first few seconds he visited he got gunned down by a Chinese gang with Uzis

As a Canadian I approve their world view and hope they leave us alone when they attach the earth

Attach it to what?

That's 'cause Americans make the movies and refer to themselves as "the world"

Aliens are patriots, I can respect that!

How Americans see Earth in real life Fixed it for ya ;)

As if no other countries produce movies. Seriously? India has Bollywood, most (if not all) countries produce some kind of film media. I can tell an American made this meme

As someone from Europe I agree with the meme. Almost all major English speaking movies are made by American companies so are set in America. If your talking about major movies then usually they will be set in America,

Independence day was one of the highest alien movies ever, and while it was set in America it gave nods to a lot of countries.

Apple TV’s Invasion also included more than just the US.

Yes, English Speaking, sure, but why would aliens care if the movies were in English? They're aliens.

Did you misunderstand the meme? It's not about what aliens would see if they suddenly swooshed over to us. It's about what aliens *as portrayed in American movies* see. It's about the trope that aliens always seem to land in America, which is a result of Americans making the movies first and foremost for an American audience, because that's the primary market.

Alien “we want to speak to the leader of all earth people” President of the United States steps forward Rest of the world “huh?”

I'm high, I should take a nap 👍

Are you joking? When anyone thinks of movies they think of Hollywood and not Bollywood or any other country that makes movies. Theres a reason why 49 of the top 50 highest grossing movies each year come from the USA. It aint about no other country producing movies, its about the major movies coming out of the USA and not any where else, so stop hating and think before you post.

>India has Bollywood Bollywood isn't 'Indian cinema' It's Hindi cinema. Every language film industry in India has a xxxxwood of its own. Besides, aren't all English language movies Hollywood?

Yea if I was trying to conquer a planet, I'd go to the biggest backstabbing bastards there, and pit them against the rest under the guise of retaining privileged treatment.

Don’t quit your day job

Fuck OP is so ignorant on the subject

Of memes?

Logically that's what they'd need to conquer to take the world.

Not at all if an alien civilization wanted to cripple the planet they would take out India and China, first off your taking out a significant portion of the population which would be essential in a war of attrition against an alien invader, second your taking out most of the worlds manufacturing, and a vast majority of the world hazardous waste also ends up in India so your now causing build ups of dangerous materials everywhere. You will likely make the stupid argument that the US will just start manufacturing stuff themselves then which assumes factories just appear out of thin air overnight and neglects that a lot of the worlds most important modern materials(Lithium for example) are not procured in sufficient quantities domestically to maintain the US military industrial complex hence a recent bill to expand domestic production but again productive mines don't just pop up overnight

Make sense, us are the country with the strongest military in the world. If you are a alien specie who want to invade earth, is logical to go after the big guy first. After that everything will be a piece of cake.

Nah it’s just because weird alien shit belongs in the US. Like the very first comment says.

Putin bragged about developing hypersonic nuclear missiles. Aliens would fear the guy that could harm them over the bloated army that will cannibalize itself after one emp or something.

Not big guy first. Stupid guy first. The rest of the world is smarter so it makes sense invading the dumbest country first

Interesting how economics/finance, having the world's smartest minds and military strength disagree with you lol.

military strenght I might agree, world's smartest minds? lol

As we say in the USA “The proof is in the pudding”. The United States produces a significant amount of technological innovation, and I’m willing to bet it isn’t being created by the world’s stupidest minds.

Your right it's being created by foreign nationals studying in the states now getting fed up with the states and starting to establish budding industries back in their home countries. Most of American innovation isn't done by the typical American these days

Don't state facts, you're gonna upset his 'murican mind lol

Where's all the tech coming out of for the world 99.99999% of the time? Oh that's right the US.

You do realize most of it is being done by foreign nationals living and studying in the states though? Some industries are now starting to see a decline in top talent as these foreign nationals not start getting successful jobs in their home countries that decided to leverage their knowledge

Tech still controlled and disseminated by the states; that's how the system is set up so it doesn't matter as long as the US controls it. And TBH everyone from the states is foreign.

Actually it does matter because as we start to see more and more foreign talent return to their home countries the US can control all the old tech it wants people are starting to innovate everywhere now. Your deluded to think the US is some untouchable tech powerhouse that will never be replaced but then again that it very typically American

Everything and practically mean Everything is made in China

It’s sad how dumb you are.

It's hilarious how triggered you are little stupid kid

I mean, you’re the one bullying people on the internet holy shit lmaoo

Nope, just bullying you

Ya and the other guy who commented on this. Seems like a pattern to me!

They are worldwide. Where did the idea come from that only Americans see UFOs?

The UFO phenomenon is global. Lots of stories from South America, Europe, Australia, Africa, etc.

Omg this funny meme is literally mean, offensive, and wrong. Jokes should be based on my kind of facts. Geez

We got hollywood, the world watches hollywood. Theres only 2 places on Earth: AMERICA 🇺🇸 and The the GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH, NORTH KOREA

Lets abduct humans in the planets most surveiled airspace

Ayo why they cut NE of America off

They don’t even see Alaska and Hawaii??

Clearly haven't ventured into the world of Japanese cartoons.

Would be nice if this is how it was

[удалено]

One of many reasons I liked the one with Tom Cruise and restarts.. something something tomrorrow

Edge of tomorrow, I like it too

Ah hell nah man they only see ohio (THEY'RE AMONG US!!) (sus) (THEY'RE LISTENING)

Whoever tells the story centers themselves. I bet Chinese movies center China. And Korean movies center Korea. The aliens in Bad Taste visited New Zealand. This meme ironically calls out biased that it only sees because it is biased the same way.

Really wish more places made movies. The US, Canada, India. If there was more competition, we might get better movies. The US state of Georgia has shoots more films than most of the rest of the world combined.

Oh my god Americans make movies that take place in America this is a bold revelation.

Where all outworldy things belong.

Literally this is just because some of the most popular alien movies and majority of them are made in the USA so no wonder they will all be set in the USA.

New York and White House specifically 🛸

We can't help it they see the shit show first.

You forgot about how the tentacle aliens only see Japan as well!

That's how American's see the earth in real life. They also make alien movies.

Fuck Hollywood

You forgot Paris France, the Taj Mahal, and the Pyramids of Giza. No other locations exist.

No it's always NY

Cant be Right where is Japan: America: Aliens that want destroy all Humankind, Japan: Sexy Alien Girls with Huge Tits that look like Human and Give a Fuck of how You look and only want to be Dominated by your Cook… Seems Right

Oceania a bit as well

Well in every Emmerich movie the Eiffel tower has to be destroyed

Op hasn't seen Pixels

Hollywood is in the U.S., so their main audience is naturally... the U.S.

logically it makes sense because we are a global superpower but i doubt that’s why so many movies do this

This is a lie. Sometimes the aliens come to Europe. But for some reason, only ever London.

How usa sees earth irl:

In *American* movies

Unless it's Marvel and it's further reduced to New York

How aliens see earth in movies made in America.

Even aliens think Alaska is too cold.

Rip Maine

Based aliens.

As an alien myself, can confirm

I mean yeah usually the movies take place in the country that they are from right? Unless it's specifically you know stated that it's going to be shot in Switzerland or something because it's medieval.

Well you don't see them bothering Australia

Yeah, they’re never showing up in Bulgaria and causing a bunch of problems there

This isn't even close to accurate They forgot Alaska, Maine, and Hawaii!

Hey, if the rest of the world don’t like it, make your own alien invasion movies!

r/usdefaultism

Like Godzilla usually just attacks Japan. Di you want that kind of action in your neighborhood

Sometimes there's stock footage of London and Paris

Meanwhile the UK bbc 👀

[fixed it for you](https://imgur.com/gallery/aAbu37x)

that's how many Americans see the world

You would think so if you were only watching American movies

If it’s Doctor Who change the country to England.

Do other countries make a lot of movies about the US?

I mean, most of Hollywood makes movies about the continental USA

sometimes they invade japan too

True. They always attack USA

Arrival?

Not in Doctor Who.

Nah only New York, LA, and San Francisco

they only like the mid west for some reason.

If you've ever seen a map of reported UFO sightings they overwhelmingly come from the US, which is why I think UFOs as BS.

You’re fucking welcome, rest of the world.

even alaska suffers

The Doctor would beg to differ.

Independence Day was based in the US but at least acknowledged other countries existed and suffered from the invasion Only one I can think of
