👽An alien attack to unite us all

In the comic Watchmen by Alan Moore, the superhero Ozymandias unites the people of Earth.

He does it by staging a fake attack by alien squids from another dimension, the revelation of which cements the character as the antagonist.

Millions of real corpses, both bioengineered squid and human, give the attack weight.

Picture an aquarium in a drab room somewhere in Davis, California.

Then, a graduate student, somberly introducing a predator like an Angelfish to the view of a school of cloned Amazon molly fish.

It may miss some of that weight.
