I know you might not like another creater booster Curiosity (cheap) or Coastal Piracy (more expensive) fit nicely with your evasion creature and help can you card advantage.
There are many animals in nature that subsist only on others. Is a lion that eats other animals a monster? What about when a new leader takes over the pack and kills all the pups to the lionesses come into heat? Is that evil or simply animal trying to pass in its genes? Some would say humans are nothing but parasites (re: matrix when Mr. Smith gives his grandstanding speech). We consume more then our natural surroundings can handle. We strip mine, we over farm till the land can no longer grow anything, we eat cows with out their consent. How are we any better then ‘vampires’?
Oh yeah, not really what I was thinking but yeah that kind of fits except there the majority is trying to make a minority where in I am legen it the minority that once was a majority trying to change the new majority.
You should not help someone who does not really want help. Though some times you need to see when someone is just denying help when they actually want it, some people just do not feel they deserve it. Its a tuff line to cross.
Gay-camps are an example. An attempt to help people. Truly genuine love and want to help. But these camps are generally viewed as vile, and rightfully so.
The worst monsters are the ones who feel they are doing good, for they are generally not evil people or creatures. They are themselves victems.
The character in I am Legend is an example of this. He believes what he is doing is right. The Zombie/Vampires in the world view him as a nightmare. They have grown used to their lives and could form a real society eventually. Life goes on, man evolves and survives. But this monster, this boogeyman hunts them and kills them.
What about addicts, if doing heroin makes them happy should we leave them be? Or anorexia or self mutilation how do we judge when we are helping and when were are just force confomity? (asking not accusing)
Limecat, To me making the aliens changes the questions. When they are mutated humans or were humans at some point, it makes the question more of what makes someone ‘human’. What defines humanity? Like you said morals are made up by humans. So humans view cannibalism as ok, so how is that different then vampires?
Depends on what you mean by "going around and killing them". If you were trying to wipe them from the face of the earth, then yes, you would be the "monster". If you're killing them in order to stay alive, i.e. just killing the ones that threaten your habitation or means of sustenance or otherwise threaten your person, then there really is no "monster" - just two different organisms trying to coexist.
If you're the last human anyway, well, you can't "win", as far as restoring things to the state that they were previously, because there's nobody to procreate with. Even if you kill all the "monsters", all you've done is left room for some other organism to take the empty spot left in the order of things. So if you do decide to hunt down and kill all of them out of a need for revenge, yes, you would be the "monster".
What if there was a way to 'cure' them, make them human again, but they didn't want to become human, they were totaly happy with their new non-humaa self. If you were forcing people back to human instead of killing them.
I am actually looking forward to this movie actually.
In the eyes of those you are killing, you will be a monster.
The definition of the term Monster is subjective. To you, the things you are killing are monsters.
To many George Bush is a Monster, to others he is a Hero.
True, that's kind of the point of the book, at what point do you become the 'monster'? Are you really the good guy anymore if there isn't anyone else you are 'defending' against the monsters.
If you were the last normal human on earth, and everyone else had been infected/turned into a mutant/zombie/or whatever ‘non’ human of your choice and you we’re going around and killing them, who would be the monster(s)?
"Your name is mud" (not use as much now) is an insult that came from the Dr Mudd who worked on John Wilkes Booth. Insults are kind of like a swear word.

Sure they just have a wholly alien moral/life style then normal humans.

More specifically to the book or the two previous movies, since details of the movie and how they are handling ‘the monsters’ are still sketchy.
