I think if we are not ALL destroyed in whatever the first apocalypse is, then we are likely to experience many of the ones people have imagined in the past, over time. We are basically in the middle of a Soylent Green overpopulation apocalypse already, although it isn't quite at that point yet in the countries where any of us live. Nuclear war betweet Pakistan and India is QUITE likely, and that would kill a hell of a lot of people outside of those countries, supposedly, from radiation, nuclear winter, etc... also, some people seem to think the Arctic permafrost is already giving up its methane, which accelerates global warming bigtime, so... that sucks. Also, think about the Tunguska meteor a hundred years ago. If anything like that happened today, there's an excellent chance some nuclear weapon armed country would consider it an act of war by some unknown adversary, so... kaboom.

I think, if you believe that humans are likely to remain roughly comparable to humans today for a few hundred thousand years of evolution into the future, or even a million years, then you could say that that means we have hundreds of thousands of years to experience all the apocalypses we can create, or can be randomly subjected to by Nature.

My favorite would be something like invasion of giant Frankenhooker women or Attack of the 50ft Women preferably nekkid.
Has anyone ever made such a movie that would be awesome.

I doubt we're ALL fucked. My money is on North Korea only, if anybody.

A really good apocalypse scenario that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough would be Chris Seaver's sorta-Deathbone sequel, Moist Fury, where Seaver puts zero effort into giving it an apocalyptic vibe. The best apocalypse is no apocalypse, imo.

The no-pocalypse? How's that apocalyptic at all? I bet it's a grand film though. He should've made a Planet of the Teen Apes.

It's not apocalyptic. Apocalyptic bad.

I'd watch that. Leo being the Charleton Heston would work. They'd have to tie it to I Spit Chew, somehow, though. They could bring back that David Bowie from Labyrinth guy so he could do that "Magic Rape" song again. That was sweet.

I'd like to think we're reasonably safe down here in Aussie land but our pathetic Prime Minister is so far up Trump's arse he's managed to put us within the little fat guy's radar somehow.

Favourite scenario? I dont' really have one other than the rapture in This Is The End.

I'd like a Supervolcano, or some Gamma ray thing, take it out of human hands before it's too late. Or maybe it already is - nanobots!

as for the nukes, Kim Jung Un has no real power n he knows it, he won't bomb Guam (if they even can) coz he knows Trump would immediately retaliate. He didn't waste any time with Syria strike after inhumane chemical strike a few months ago. it's all hot air n dick measuring. KJU will just tell the N.Korean population they've won the war n no one will be any the wiser.

Well, I saw news this morning that he retracted his Guam threat. However, that damn island still accidentally played the nuke sirens, and probably scared the shit out of people.

You're probably right that he'll say NK won, and they will believe him, I'm sure. Or else they'll get shot.

nanobots and artificial intelligence scare the hell out of me. In a way, watching horror movies is probably one of the best ways to prepare ourselves for the kind of things that will become possible, as thse technologies evolve. Nanotechnology makes things possible that we will have a very hard time mentally processing, because it will look like magic unless we have spent decades in school trying to understand the science behind what we will see happen. Like, rocks turning into what appear to be animals or robots, or people changing sex, or mists that can reprogram people's minds, or.... just anything we can imagine. Nanotechnology is not magic, but it might as well be. A lot of people will go out of their fucking minds if that kind of thing starts to be commonplace. And, if the nanotechnology is guided by inhuman artificially intelligent entities... anything could happen. We would have trouble even imagining the possibilities.

when nanobots become sentient and wipe us out one of them will create a minibot, who in turn will create a microbot, who in turn will create a teenybot until it all gets a bit Russian Doll and Morty....

^this...that fuck can't feed his own people let alone take over South Korea! No worries here. Political fear tactics created by our own fugazi Mokingbird media. Utter nonsense to keep us in a state of fear....fuck em all!

I'm most keen on unusual apocalyptic scenarios. Pontypool, Kairo and In the Mouth of Madness being perhaps my favourites. Second to those sorts are animal/monster/alien apocalypses. Occassionally I note a good traditional zombie or virus apocalypse work, but all too often I find them dreary and repetitive, and I just don't tend to agree with their negative takes on human behaviour/nature, finding them lazy and generic.

I think the most plausible apocalypses are nuclear and pollution/resource depletion based. Or some kind of crazy technical jiggery pokery. I actually have a theory that the internet may have already spawned consciousnesses from unplanned collisions of code and information. Now if something like that started taking a dim view of us, well...

I'm not a huge fan of dystopian work unless its plainly way out in the realms of science fiction/fantasy. At least, not serious dystopian work. I tend to find parallels with our times too unsettling, that is unsettling to a point that overbalances any intellectual benefits. Do love Brave New World though.
