First we should plant listening devices in the trees and learn their language so we can make our giant light god more relatable to them!

Make it a whole reality series where they give the people different things and see how they react. Like one day drop a box full of light sabers, the next launch fireworks from a helicopter, then send an animatronic Dinosaur on a suicide mission...

This is like an even more ambitious version of The Truman Show

This is so evil but so do I. It's the ultimate, final form for reality TV.

Like that south park episode where the entire earth is a reality show for aliens

Are we talking about the Sentinelese ?

Dropping off stuff has been done before, they systematically destroy everything from the outside world.

They really don't want anything to do with us, and I don't blame them. Especially because of the precedent. They're not actually uncontacted, but the first and last time they had actual contact with the outside was with 19th century colonialists. So that wasn't a great experience.

They've used metals that've been washed up on shore before so they least somewhat utilize our tech

Make the series last 10 seasons and end it with the tribe finally being integrated with the rest of humanity.

30 years later start apologizing profusely to their offspring for fucking with their parents and disrespecting their culture, but everytime you do add "yo that TV show was lit though" and air reruns every year.

You forgot the part where Universal Studios creates a ride based on the show.

u/DesignatedDonut Sep 15 '22

First episode starts really simple like dropping a coke bottle from the sky by one of the villagers

This has essentially been done, albeit unintentionally, during WWII.

What about a rc plane that flies over the island, it would surely leave some tribe members shocked.
