Reptilians - "reptilian aliens" in popular culture

In recent years, images of reptilians, rooted in both science and fantasy, have increasingly appeared in the mass media. From educational programs to films and advertisements, these reptilian creatures are gaining popularity, suggesting that society is preparing for their eventual appearance in reality. In this article, we will examine how these diverse images of reptilians shape perceptions of their potential contact with humans and what messages they may carry for future generations. By analyzing examples from literature and cinema, we will discover how the media influences the perception of this mysterious species and what consequences they may have for our culture.

In recent years, children's television programs, commercials, films, and educational programs have increasingly introduced the image of reptiles to the public. With the renewed interest in reptiles, from dinosaurs to the alien reptilians of Star Trek, a variety of these images have become visible in all American media. Furthermore, because the entertainment industry dominates the United States, this image is spreading like wildfire to every corner of the Earth where there is satellite or cable television, cinema, or children's books.

For all these purposes, the overall effect of global internet communication presents a reptilian image from both a scientific and an imaginative perspective. (An imaginary perspective, of course, that reflects the contemporary example of UFOs—as well as an alien perspective.)

Public television programs such as Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, Nova, etc., provide a scientific image of the snake or reptile, portraying it as a predator with extraordinary abilities and revealing its natural, mysterious habitat—the invisible subterranean environment and dense vegetation of the earth's surface. Science fiction and media aimed at young people, on the other hand, differ in their perspective on the alien from a mythological and contemporary perspective. This difference promotes the image of reptilians as a combination of cognitive intelligence, the ability to communicate with humans (telepathically and vocally), advanced technological advancements, existing in a hidden space station as if beyond the world, and understanding both the emotional meanings of friendship and hostility.To sum up both of these aspects, the current media also deepens the ideology that propagates a vision in which viewers and readers are to expect the reptilian to travel from the far reaches of the mythological shadow realm to the modern reality.

Furthermore, this rising tide of reptilian imagery in the global media is often linked to stories that seem to tell people that the reptilian-human relationship may become increasingly significant in the future. The human species seems prepared for this coming future.

One person will simply watch TV, go to the cinema or read children's literature, while another will "read between the lines" and recognize the encrypted message in a context taken from a movie script.
