@BattleDroid1106 Your point is perfectly valid, the only reason I said what I said is because of my specific writing style.
Whenever I write my own fanfics, or at least come up with concepts, I like to make my ideas as much of an organic part of the world itself as possible, and I like having my own plots be intertwined with the core show's plot, instead of overwriting it.
Which it why I said that this newest episode pretty much threw a torch to everything I came up with so far, which just personally leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
My original idea was that when Copper 9 blew up, some of the human personnel managed to survive within vaults. Afterwards, they emerged, and during a 20 year timeskip, built a civilization by basically turning old mining equipment into the vehicles you see on the Coalition's side in Home world: Deserts of Kharak. But then, the Murder Drones arrive, and a divide is created between the people. Those who want to go home team up with the Murder Drones, while those who want to save the Worker Drones set up a resistance. By the time the Pilot starts, the whole conflict has escalated into a planet-wide all-out war.
The problem we have here is that the whole crux of the idea was that Murder Drones were programmed to never harm humans, which is why they would usually stay back, and let the humans kill eachother, so that they can mop up the remaining Worker Drones.
But the fact that in Episode 7, we see Murder Drones not only killing humans left and right, but fucking eating them like wild animals.
Which means that unless they all got some sort of major malfunction once they entered the planet, the Murder Trio has no reason not to just devour the entire populus.
I was also planning on giving J a redemption arc, but again, with the way the canon is going, that ain't happening. And that's bad because I have to come up with my own solutions, which is gonna take significantly longer. XD
