* {{Anvilicious}}: The book and 2019 TV series spell out Wells' message that the Martians were not so different from the British imperialists, who would come off ''very'' similarly to the less technological advances peoples they conquered in the 19th century. He notes that the British caused the extinction of the Native Tasmanians (a few of them in fact survived, although this wasn't known in Wells time-thankfully by now they have made a comeback), much like the Martians seem intent on doing in the TV series. This was [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped arguably necessary]] at the time, since imperialism was greatly popular, and it was shown as such in the TV series (possibly also needed as a reminder for the modern viewers).
