They may not even know they have it - but it can't project communication, only motivations for the RuleOfFunny. Whenever Martian leaders or officers are planning a trick, their grunt soldiers are automatically in on what's about to progress and act accordingly. For instance: At the end when the Martian Leader looks like he's about to strike a deal with the president, the grunts look confused - but they don't blast their leader for treason or anything - they're just acting along with the ruse to convince the president that the Martian Leader is serious.

As noted in the main page, any time a bird is shown near martians they go for it, perhaps in the Martian past they were attacked by a bird like species, and they assumed Earth is the origin point of them after the dove was released, they aren't jerkasses, just sadistic vengence.

sadistically vengeful.



Years of careless mining and subterranean experimentation ultimately damaged the interior of the planet, causing the unspecified "nuclear pressures" that would ultimately destroy it. After some big experiment gone wrong caused irreparable damage, the Martian leadership decided to cover the truth, as they were afraid it would cause revolts, and attributed the upcoming destruction to natural causes. In this regard, the conquest of Earth also served as a mass distraction tactic for their own people.

The Martians didn't come in peace, but they gave Earth the chance to surrender. This was wrongly translated as they coming in peace. Then the machine translated the human general as a declaration of war, shocking the aliens, and they took the dove for a weapon launch.

His reaction to the Assassins death is to basically declare total war on humanity, despite most of the Martian screentime being psychotic, but generally seeming to be enjoying themselves, so it's a really out of character moment for one of them to be angry, especially when it was shown at least one Martian had killed previously, so, possibly the Assassin was someone the Leader actually cared about, hence the huge angry reaction.

The Martians receive TV signals from Earth and suffer whenever it contains music, including bird songs. This is why they want to exterminate humans and birds.

Really, the whole invasion was the Martian equivalent of a long drunken weekend. Only with blasters and bombs rather than babes and bongs.
