War of the Worlds: 

War of the Worlds By H.G. Wells

A plot in 5 seconds: 

A plot in 5 seconds Creatures from Mars try to take over earth Humans fight back, and loose Disease kills Martians Humans re-inherit the earth

Mars:

Wells: In his own words: 

Wells: In his own words “ It has air and water and everything necessary for the development of animated life.” “The world is far gone in it’s cooling.”

Wells’ Mars: 

Wells’ Mars CO2 -based atmosphere. Red plants cause color, the same way some portions of earth would appear green. Diminishing liquid H2O Advanced life forms including entire forests (red creeper), intelligent life, and a food chain to connect them.

Disparities: 

Disparities Atmosphere Liquid H2O It was once believed that the “canals” on Mars were built by intelligent life trying to stretch their limited H2O resources. These modifications are necessary for life as we know it and therefore necessary for an alien invasion plot.

Life on Mars?: 

Life on Mars? Our current knowledge of Mars says it may have once been possible for life to form. Meteorite AHL 84001 is supposed to contain fossilized microbes, however that is still highly debated. If AHL 84001 is genuine it represents the most advanced life form we know of on any planet other than earth.

Life on Wells’ Mars: 

Life on Wells’ Mars Specifically three different life forms are mentioned: The invaders. The only Martian plant capable of surviving on earth (Red Creeper), a harmless vine. A human-like species that the aliens feed off of on their home planet.

In his own words:: 

In his own words: “They were huge round bodies or rather heads about 4 feet in diameter, each body having in front of it a face. This face had no nostrils. Indeed the Martians do not appear to have any sense of smell, but it had a pair of very large dark colored eyes and just beneath this a kind of fleshy beak. At the back of this head or body, I hardly know how to speak of it, was a single tight tympanic surface. Since known to be anatomically an ear though it must have been almost useless in our dense air. In a group round the mouth were 16 slender almost whip like tentacles arranged in two bunches of eight each.”

Technology: 

Technology As Wells describes them, the Martians were as mortal as any human, the trick was getting past their technology. Most of the Martian technology, described in War of the Worlds, we have today!

Space ship Vs. …: 

Space ship Vs. … Their spaceship was modeled after a gun. The Martians pile into the “bullet” and are fired at the planet they intend to invade.

….Hollow point bullets: 

….Hollow point bullets As the name implies this is a hollowed out bullet. This design causes them to “expand upon entering a target.” This causes much more damage than a standard bullet and destroys the bullet itself in the process. This makes identification impossible. It is for this reason that they are illegal.

Heat ray Vs. …: 

Heat ray Vs. …

….Laser: 

….Laser X 1000

Robots Vs. …: 

Robots Vs. … Wells acknowledged that earth is larger than Mars and so has stronger gravity. To compensate, and as war devices, the Martians built mechanical bodies. This is comparable to…
