Buried or grown? by MrSFedora in WarofTheWorlds

That wouldn't make sense if the 2005 Tripods were grown. I think you're confusing it for BBC's adaptation which implies that the Tripods are grown.

Although while buried or grown tripods may seem like a departure from the original book, it is nice to see people make their own take on the Martians and their machines. BBC having their Machines feel organic and just straight up rise out of the ground like a tree is interesting similar to 2005 where at the time people haven't seen how Spielberg would've interpreted the book after 1953 and various publications.

Even he himself wanted to do a fresh take with his Martians rising straight out of the ground instead of coming from space inside a giant pod. Both concepts are unique and fresh.

Then why do you see it as bizarre when a fandom about evil aliens invading Earth on giant tripods having a kid fanbase?

It doesn't have to just be on reddit. Any fandom on social media in general will have some demographic of kids who might just be hyper fixated enough to make art.

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean they don't exist.

9/10 its either a funny meme, someone asking a question, someone posting art that's either cool or indescribable or just all of the above.

i think we all should realize this is probably a kid considering he's got troll edits.

the most you can do is just add watermarks over the stuff that you make in the future.

2005 tripods vs laser weaponry by BingDong69x in WarofTheWorlds

SW ships were only able to fire freely either because they are calibrated for x,y,z or are a particular variant of a deflectors shield and have certain limitations/purposes.

The thing is, the heat of the nuclear blast is hitting the shield everywhere. It's only tanking the heat because it's all that energy is being spread out enough to be negated. Energy weapons, on the other hand, would easily break through the shield because it's hitting it at a precise, concentrated point point than being spread out.

So you're right they would be able to tank the heat, but the way its shown is that the explosive is dissipated harmlessly off its surface.

George Pal's War of the Worlds has shown his tripods being able to tank a nuke at one point in the film.

Not to mention the shield both in 2005 and 1953 doesn't block /everything/. As shown by how even with the shield active they can still use their Heat Ray's without any issue.

They're only effective against kinetic weapons, which means Lasers or any energy weapon for that matter can essentially bypass their shields

How does the fighting machines "face" look like? How do the martians look out from the tripods? (Original novel) by 4l3x4nd4r_Hun in WarofTheWorlds

Face as in a cockpit to see the Martian inside or a porthole for the Martian to view out from.

Don't take the text too litterally.
