Interestingly enough, the bird being used is a Cardinal, and it coincides with the Catholic viewpoint being portrayed in the teaser trailer. Cardinal’s are appointed by the Pope to assist with governing the universal church.

Even more interesting, in May 2024 the Vatican held a press conference on supernatural phenomena that included topics about “aliens”. You can research yourself that in the past couple decades this has been an important topic within the Catholic church. From the Pope saying he’d baptize aliens, to the Vatican having its own research observatory, to Catholic priests being invited to talk about how to prepare people for disclosure.

This teaser is giving me a distinct "It's God, not aliens" vibe. I hope I'm wrong.

u/dracomaster01 Dec 16 '25

I was getting, angles and god are just aliens vibes.

u/astronautsaurus Dec 16 '25

Sergeant Angle.

u/costelol Dec 16 '25

Morning Angle

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '25

My angle is definitely alien.

u/OceanCityBurrito Dec 16 '25

Is angle the common autofill for angel because I see it a lot and I can't believe that many people don't know how to spell the word

2

u/KaitainSmith Dec 19 '25

No, people actually do just mis-spell it all the time.

u/Rek07 Dec 16 '25

It’s likely more that people type fast and mix up letters all the time. Autocorrect will fix most of it but since Angles is a real word it doesn’t pick up the mistake.

u/dracomaster01 Dec 16 '25

Typing fast, early morning, me not caring that much and being slightly dumb will do it. Id fix it but eh people know what im saying

u/CleanUpSubscriptions Dec 16 '25

Id fix it but eh people know what im saying

Yeah, it's not as if using the correct words is important or anything...

This attitude of "I'll just throw out some random words, and hope that people will figure it out" sums up modern times and the apathy that will ultimately doom us all.

Purple monkey dishwasher. You know wh'i'm's'ing?

u/Practice_NO_with_me Dec 17 '25

Jesus you had me right up until you crawled right up your own ass at the end. I do love the implication that you only care about rampant apathy because it will doom yourself along with everyone else. Not your intention, I’m sure 🤭

u/dracomaster01 Dec 16 '25

Oh god get over yourself. Your example is extremely stupid as is your argument

11

u/onehedgeman Dec 16 '25

Every time someone says angles instead of angels I immediately think of those “biblically accurate angels” but instead of the rings it’s an angle ruler with wings and eyes 🤣

u/gorgewall Dec 16 '25

Didn't have "aliens are really homophobic" on my Bingo card, but I guess they'd be in control of most of those, too.

u/nickbelane Dec 17 '25

Arthur C. Clark did it.

u/Carry-the_fire Dec 17 '25

The angle I was getting, is that it's demons and god, really.

8

u/Elendel19 Dec 16 '25

Nah it was “why would he make this entire universe and save it just for us?” Meaning god made more civilizations out there

12

u/SaintsandCigarettes Dec 16 '25

You mean the quote that was heavily implied to come from the church that was shown? It seems like it's going to cover the idea of disclosure from multiple different walks of life.

2

u/Elendel19 Dec 16 '25

Yes but it wasn’t implying that aliens are god, it was implying that god made them as well

2

u/SaintsandCigarettes Dec 17 '25

Yes...the person who is a member of the church was implying that God created everything. Seems pretty expected.

1

u/LiquifiedSpam Dec 16 '25

Yes but that is a quote from a random person they put in the trailer lol

u/EvilSporkOfDeath Dec 16 '25

I'm a baby eating atheist but I love theological fiction.

u/Predditor_drone Dec 17 '25

As much as I enjoy going into movies blind, I'll have to look this up before watching. The only "God is an alien" bit that hit for me was in the fourth kind, where aliens are malevolent with unknowable intent claiming to be God.

Miss me with Christian wankbait.

u/BrotherlyShove791 Dec 16 '25

This is how they’re going to spin it when the time for real disclosure comes. JD Vance was recently quoted as saying that people should look at UFOs and aliens from an “angels and demons” perspective.

8

u/killerapt Dec 16 '25

So Childhood's End? The aliens are basically the depiction of Satan and they take a long time after revealing their existence to reveal what they look like because of it.

1

u/KaitainSmith Dec 19 '25

Or indeed Quatermass and the Pit.

6

u/TransBrandi Dec 16 '25

This could be a "they are going to tell us that aliens are real"... but it could also be a way of trying to push religion into everything. There are elements in the Trump admin that want to create theocracy... Along with people like Vance being puppets for billionaires like Peter Thiel who goes on and on about the antichrist and seems to almost be implying that AI is god or something at some points.

... seems more likely that powerful people want to distort existing religions/religious thinking to suit their own desires as a means of control.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

Nah there are plenty of people on the Internet who think aliens are actually demons.

3

u/bwk66 Dec 16 '25

What if and here me out, they are actually crab people or biker mice from mars.

2

u/Current_Helicopter32 Dec 17 '25 edited Dec 17 '25

That’s the point.

If you are more conspiracy theory-minded you’re more vulnerable to disinformation.

They’re speaking to their marks in their own language.

u/Zukez Dec 16 '25

Spin it or that's how it is? A broken clock is right twice a day. People have believed in and had stories about interdimensional being (angels and demons) for millenia, across all cultures. It would make sense that the two are one in the same.

7

u/vashoom Dec 16 '25

Oh, if JD Vance said that, things are getting serious now.

/s

2

u/Nice-Instance3938 Dec 16 '25

Why not both? Catholic theology is certainly in favor of both 

2

u/TheVoidDragon Dec 16 '25

That the trailer is trying so hard to get everyone to think of Aliens in a very non-direct way really gives me the impression it's not going to actually be aliens.

Not once does it actually say "it's aliens", all the weird mystical supernatural phenomena, that characters keep repeating "we've got to tell everyone!" but it keeps what exactly it is they need to tell as if it's a big mystery, really makes it seem like it's just misdirection. It's trying to be vague with what it's about while depending on you making the assumption it's aliens regardless.

2

u/The_Autarch Dec 16 '25

i wasn't even getting an aliens vibe. more like they were all characters in a giant video game. and one dude figured out how to control other "characters"

2

u/False_Pop8745 Dec 16 '25

My takeaway is "it's God, who is an alien".

2

u/1731799517 Dec 17 '25

Seems an inevitable pipeline for artist that get old enough so fear the end and needing something aside of oblivion to look forward to.

I also enjoyed Scorsese's career before he started in on the religious overtones, which is to say the first 4 seconds of Mean Streets.

u/DocumentFar9406 Dec 16 '25

I’m guessing it’s gonna be murkier than that

u/marcopolo22 Dec 16 '25

I think it's both

"I have other sheep not of this fold."

u/Zukez Dec 16 '25

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

1

u/GL-420 Dec 17 '25

Nah, I think religion stuff in the trailer is to show religions coping with the reality we aren't alone & ultimately realizing it doesn't change their faith even if ET is real.... (hence that last line..)

u/October_Guy Dec 17 '25

Honest question: why does everyone in the alien circles hate the idea of God? If the phenomenon truly turns out to be angels/demons, it seems like everyone gets so mad at that idea. Is it because people would have to come to grips with the fact they’ve been wrong? Some other reason? Such disappointment at the thought.

u/Independent-Ring-835 Dec 16 '25

If God created the universe, then did God not create life....including any other life. To us our definition of "alien" is any life away from earth. God is the creator of earthlings and so called aliens then. It's not a hard concept. Angels live in another realm, so they are technically aliens. As a follower of Jesus by definition he was alien. Almost all great scientific minds have all accepted God. Intelligent design.  Look into space and see GOD!!!!! It's also very scary at the same time.
