but i don't actually want to unlearn the lesson from watching dr who that aliens with seemingly magical powers who tell you that they're gods are almost certainly the baddies

#and when the *hero* declares that they're a god i know that this is when everything's about to get very bad very quickly! for everyone!#(except it's okay when barbara does it apparently??)#(hence the 'almost' part)#“but nos the marvel gods rly do have magic powers” the sufficiently advanced technology does actually work u kno #it's about exploiting the obvious power imbalance not the details of *how* they'll make the rains come back if you give them your children #It's Really About The Colonialism Of Course #(they still celebrated Empire Day in schools in the 1960s btw. in case you want to draw any conclusions from that.)
