You know what you're right. How could I have been so blind?
Although gonna say it's not Batarians as a whole, just their bitch-ass government who then forces this opinion down the ranks as propaganda so it just becomes a sort of "common knowledge" among Batarians. And then one day Bray just casually says to Shepard "Actually I kinda liked Predator" out of nowwere and she has no idea wtf this is supposed to mean.
Do you suppose the Citadel species look at old earth movies about aliens and are like, "Really? That explains a *lot*."
Honestly I think they'd get a kick out of them in many ways. Especially since for the most part none of the aliens in our movies represent any real Citadel species. And greys are different enough from Salarians to not feel insulting, although I'm sure there will be a small group of salarians who will call "outdated stereotype!" to greys but in the same way the hanar scream about their religion and insulting representation to anyone who will listen.
Because Mass Effect understood that an alien species is not a mono-opinion and every species is made up of countless individuals and groups and factions and some of them can be just as stupid about things as humans are.
That being said, pretty sure every single alien species in all of Mass Effect would agree "The Thing" is one of the greatest sci fi horrors of all time.
#Mass Effect#Honestly Batarians would probably fucking love Predator#The krogans maybe too but I have a feeling they wouldn't enjoy all the stealth and such#They'd be more into Independence Day#Somebody points out 'Ok but you cheer for the humans??? And they defeat the aliens with a virus???'#And Wrex is like 'I dunno how that's supposed to change anything.#The humans had the aliens blow up their own government. Can't fault them for knowing how to make their enemies impressive'#Meanwhile Salarians are super into Intersteller#But mostly because they love dissecting everything wrong with the science in minute detail#They fucking love Star Trek tho#The Turians actually aren't into huma sci fi#They're all about those Chanbara films#ESPECIALLY Kagemusha and the Musashi trilogy#The Asari pretend they're above human sci fi movies but they are all over the first 2 Alien movies#Especially the 2nd one#Oh wait actually the Turians would probably get a kick out of Dune#Garrus of course likes Robocop because he's a fucking NERD#But also because he's atypical anti-establishment for a turian#So I can see that one being up his alley#also because he's a fucking nerd who thinks he's Batman
