      It even says after the Masters' domes are destroyed, a ship arrives and bombs the ruins to keep the humans from reclaiming their tech, but it doesn't just carpet bomb the planet and kill us all even though they obviously could They could've done that in the first place

      Alien psychology, or whatever - the Masters are monstrously cruel in some ways and yet seem to lack human viciousness in others, they actually don't have our overwhelming sense of self-preservation and just passively die when defeated

      The whole Tripod plan seems to have happened because on some level they wanted to assimilate humanity and not destroy it

      I don't think they wanted to assimilate humanity: Will's Master wanted humanity to be preserved into giant zoos and it seems his opinion had some traction in their society as a whole (he says something like "We Masters love beautiful things").

      If anything, it may have been the most "human" aspect of the Masters: easily awed and fascinated by the cleverness of another species like we are when watching ants or octopuses or wild wolves, definitely not ready to give them a faire share of the ecosystem, but…

      nonetheless discomforted by the prospect of causing the definitive exctinction of such species.

      As for why they didn't blow up the Earth from orbit, the explanation is simple: they still want to geo-ingeener it to make it like more like their homeworld, but the project is already a massive endeavor (they had to call their homeworld to send them the heavy equipment needed)

      damaging the planet further would not have been an optimal choice: imagine they cause a nuclear winter that lasts for centuries despite the fact that even with changing the atmosphere they could still only live comfortably in regions near the equator

      I always imagined that their homeworld had thousands or more technocrats and scholars whose job was calculating the cost of their expansion and selecting the less costly options given the massive distances and cost in ressources.

      The major issue is that humans aren't just a difficult species to conquer, they're a *threat*, and the narrative itself says that given the immense timescales involved in interstellar travel, the next time humans and Masters meet we may be doing the conquering

      Either that or we may have already nuked ourselves But you're right, it's not about assimilation so much as preservation - the Masters aren't humane or empathetic at all by our standards and yet they have some sort of block against the idea of driving us to extinction

          I mean, in that respect the Masters' propaganda saying they came to save us from ourselves may, from their perspective, be completely honest

          Which makes them more compelling villains that most "alien invaders" we dreamed up
