1[[WMG: Professor Kessler was actually totally right about the Martians having telepathy]]
2They 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.

4[[WMG: How Taffy survived the attack on the White House]]
5She was rescued by Byron's sons and hid at their apartment.

7[[WMG: It's Spring Break on Mars.]]
8Really, the whole invasion was the Martian equivalent of a long drunken weekend. Only with blasters and bombs rather than babes and bongs.

10Then,
11
12[[WMG: The Martian expedition to Earth was just a midnight stop looking for weed.]]
13Or the Martian equivalent, the nuclear bombs. They get high with that, and they knew Earth is full of that stuff.
14
15[[WMG: The aliens that inspired the Moai statues will not be happy to learn that the Martians knocked them down.]]
16Although those aliens might be glad to know that [[spoiler:Earth found a way to take care of the Martians]].
17
18[[WMG: The Martians are ScienceFiction {{Fanboy}}s.]]
19The Martians have been intercepting our AlienInvasion movies for years and decided to act out their own alien invasion movie for fun.

21[[WMG: The Martians did attack because of the bird]]
22As 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 sadistically vengeful.

24[[WMG: This movie was a propaganda film created by [[Franchise/MassEffect Cerberus]] to indoctrinate new recruits]]
25It makes about as much sense as anything ''in'' the movie.
26
27[[WMG: The Martians from the original trading cards caused the destruction of Mars themselves]]
28Years 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 up 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.
29
30[[WMG:All music harms the Martians. The attack is "retaliation" for that.]]
31
32The 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.
33
34[[WMG:The translator machine gives exactly the opposite of the correct translation every single time]]
35
36The Martians didn't come in peace, but they gave Earth the chance to surrender. This was wrongly translated as them 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.
37
38[[WMG: The Martian Leader was so angry because the Martian Assassin was close/family.]]
