**Scene Description:**
A wide, slightly tilted shot captures the chaos in a city square under a sickly greenish-yellow sky, reminiscent of 1950s pulp sci-fi. The art direction channels *Mars Attacks!*—satirical, exaggerated, colorful, yet grotesquely comical.
In the foreground, panicked civilians in vintage-styled clothing — poodle skirts, horn-rimmed glasses, shiny suits — flee in all directions, their faces frozen in over-the-top expressions of terror. Some trip over debris, others scream upward at unseen attackers. A woman drops her tiny dog, who also yaps in cartoonish panic.
Flames and black smoke billow from twisted metal structures. Amongst the rubble, several half-destroyed futuristic billboards flicker and spark. One prominently reads:
**“TIKTOK”**
The bold retro-futuristic font flashes intermittently, with part of the sign hanging loose, swaying dangerously.
In the midground, a toppled hovercar smolders, while strange saucer-shaped ships hover ominously, firing neon-colored beams that disintegrate buildings into clouds of pixel-like dust.
In the background, a cracked glass dome reveals a monstrous, oversized martian head leering down, its brain pulsating beneath a transparent helmet.
The lighting is unnatural — sharp, high-contrast, with surreal, saturated colors that make the destruction feel both comedic and horrifying, true to *Mars Attacks!*’ satirical aesthetic.
