User blog comment:The Crazy Terror/PE Proposal: Martian Ambassador/@comment-2059440-20190826032800

sorry but this is not remotedly going to pass for PE as Mars Attacks is a style of over-the-top absurdist comedy akin to stuff like Monty Python etc.. you literally can not have PE in these settings because nothing is taken seriously.. another example I can think of is Invader Zim.. sure Zim does horrible things but the dark comedy aspects completely and utterly destroy any chance of Zim being taken seriously.. even Zim has moments though... Mars Attacks, however? nope.. even when they commit extremely evil acts it is completely for laughs..

the murder of the president was about the only "serious" point we got and even that gets erased very fast - remember that this film also ends by having the Martians killed literally by a "terrible" song making their heads explode.. it is complete nonsense and that's the point.. you're not meant to think on the film.. you are just meant to laugh at how extreme it is.
