why do the flaxans want earth

The Flaxans want Earth because it gives them resources, people to exploit, and a foothold in a world they can potentially conquer. In Invincible , the added wrinkle is that Earth’s environment and the Flaxan dimension don’t affect time the same way, which also helps explain why they keep coming back and why they kidnap humans and tech instead of just staying put.

Quick Scoop

Their motivation is basically a mix of:

• Conquest , they’re trying to take over a valuable planet.

• Survival and advantage , Earth is useful to them in a way their own dimension is not.

• Practical looting , they take people and equipment back home because those things last longer in their dimension.

Why they keep returning

The recurring invasions make more sense when you look at the time-dilation idea: on Earth, Flaxan bodies and tech decay faster, so a direct occupation is hard to sustain. That leaves them stuck in a loop of attacking, losing, rebuilding, and trying again.

Simple version

If you want the shortest answer: they want Earth because it’s a target worth conquering, and their own dimension makes Earth hard to hold long-term.

If you want, I can also explain the Flaxans’ motivation without spoilers or with comic/show differences.
