WHA?
After watching RT:NG I thought the Regis was a real evil B but then I realized if she really detested humans when she left she could have destroyed all the ships leave the missiles and destroy all the remaining population on the planet. She didn't so she doesn't hate humans.
Did you watch the last episode of NG? did you hear the same Dialog i did? Did you know her Final "assult" barely Destroyed half the Fleet in orbit? She was running for her life, and took a pop shot on her way out.
She may see them as a lesser species a means to a goal and they may become extinct because she was planning on Terraforming, or would that be Opterraforming, Earth which would kill off all humans not because she is neccessarily evil but because that is the best way for her kind to survive.
Inncorect, She was not Terraforming Earth to fit her Children, she was Evolving her Children to replace Humanity.
It's probably akin to us exterminating rodents, we don't do it because we're evil we do it because if we don't there are so many thing that could happen.
Thinking of another Intelligent race as "Rodents" or like is Definatly a Trait of an Evil Person.
I can Give you over a Dozen Quotes by the Invid about humanity. All stateing she was here to Kill us off, mostly becasue we are Children of the "shadow".
1) Directly after Wolffe's Death in Eulogy, she Razes Soilder town to the Ground.
2) Regis when possesing Annie in "Gennisi Pit": "Earthlings, your time on this planet runs short. The age of humans is coming to an end. Now a new era begins on Earth. Humans are transients on the long road of evolution. The Earth is entering an era of domination by another form of life which has traveled a different evolutionary path. Be warned!"
3) she speaks to Rand in a Vison: "All things change…all things die. So it is that we have come from the farthest reaches of the cosmos to regenerate ourselves, to take the Earth from the dying hands of humanity. From the ashes of your people, we shall arise – reborn!"
4)As She Changes Sera and Corg: "You are a prince and princess of our race and shall be known as Corg and Sera. We must begin the mass transformation of our people to the humanoid life form. This form which you have now assumed has been determined to be the most advanced and flexible configuration for survival on this plane"
5) The Invid Discet Dusty Aryes: "That was only where the Invid began their experiments. Apparently, the aliens were studying the functions of my body… trying to get data on the process of human evolution. Piece by piece they replaced my entire right side with protoculture-generated prostheses and organs. The experiment was done without anesthesia…. It was more painful than you could ever imagine."(AKA Torture, and Trait of Evil)
6)Corg: "Sera, I must protest your lenience in dealing with the humans. Our experiments have been completed. It’s time to exterminate them."
7) Corg again: "You’ve known all along that we planned to save only a small percentage of the humans to use as workers on our protoculture farms. The rest have been scheduled for extermination"
Corg wastes no time. He assembles his shock troopers and begins a murderous assault on the civilian population. His orders are simple: "Spare no one!"
9) Even Ariel believes humans are lesser beings: "they have a life force that is almost as strong as our own"
10) Regis to Areil "It is the genetic instinct of their species to destroy what they cannot understand."
11)Corg: "This pathetic species cannot be allowed to stand in the way of our future! Sera, your contact with the rebels has made you weak and spineless."
This is 11 Instances where the Invid believe the Humans are Lesser beings, and Should be destroyed.
only 2 Times do any invid speak up for humanity:
Ariel: "I am a new form of life that is a blending of the two. You must believe that the Invid never planned to destroy humanity. We are only trying to find a place we can live in peace and security."
then the Regis says to her: "Ariel, it is true. You are a traitor. Was it you who led these children of the shadow to the Hive?"
Cant Really Trust anything Ariel says at this point, Her own people Consider her a Traitor, Which makes her Opion above highly Suspect.
and Sera: "Forgive me, Regis, but I’ve begun to doubt whether we are any better than they are. You say this species is guilty of murdering and making slaves of their enemies, but how is that any different from what we are doing on this planet?"
and Humans Kill rodents because they are Pests... not so we can replace them on the Evoultionary Chain.
