[[WMG: Humanity will one-up the City Destroyers with a homage to [[Franchise/StarWars the Deathstar]].]]

* Considering the blatant use of this trope is the main reason the film is considered SnarkBait internationally, it would be odd if there wasn't even a reference to it. Might be something like mentioning that, despite America being the major player in the aliens' defeat, other countries had won some battles.

* [[spoiler:Jossed. The African Mothership only serves to set up the fact that the aliens are returning]]

*** [[spoiler:Jossed. The only other alien who appears in the movie is a smooth white ball.]]

* [[spoiler:Jossed. The spaceship looks different because it belongs to a higher ranking Queen.]]

* [[spoiler:Jossed. General Adams becomes president after the Cheyenne bunker is raided and destroyed.]]

* [[spoiler:Jossed. Humanity triumphs and drives away the Aliens again.]] However... [[spoiler:if the Sphere had been allowed to follow its original plan of evacuating a small percentage of Humanity and then running, the end result would've been the destruction of the Earth]].

** Given that [[spoiler: the Sphere is sharing its knowledge of interstellar travel to turn humanity into LaResistance,]] it's still possible that this may happen.

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Hiller will turn up at the end.]]]]
* [[spoiler: They're making a big deal about him being dead. It's been suggested in the YMMV page that this was done to trick audiences and leaves the door open for his return in a sequel. Who's to say that he doesn't appear in this at all. Sure, Will Smith said he was done with science fiction, but then again, Mark Hamill said he was done with the Joker after ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' outside of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke'' and [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight we know how]] [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction that turned out.]]]]

* The first part of BTTF2 was set on October 21, 2015. The date of this movie (July 4, 2016) is close enough. Both movies show a planet Earth with hover technology, cold fusion technology and a female United States President before the end of 2016. So the answer to "why don't we have hoverboards?" is "because we haven't been invaded by aliens".

[[WMG: The {{Franchise/Stargate}} reboot is actually just the new ID4 films.]]

* Not unless humanity leading the attack against the harvesters before they could even try.

*** Alternatively, the human skull and crossbones will represent [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "This is going to suck..."]] or [[EpicFail "Epic Fail"]]
[[WMG: Should a sequel be made, this would be a prequel to [[Franchise/StarWars Star Wars.]]]]

[[WMG: This movie and BackToTheFuturePartII take place in the same universe.]]

* And it wasn't like GenreSavvy people weren't making a beeline out of their cities in the HOURS they had to do so. If Jeff Goldblum's character and his Dad were able to get out of New York and drive to Washington, millions must have gotten out of New York alone.
