This is a nascent trope in sci-fi that I absolutely love: Earthlings being shunned by the amazing galactic powers because we are violent barbarians until a Universe ending threat arrives and we are deemed as the last and only possible solution to fight it.

Also the trope of us earthlings being actual badasses who can survive an amputation and even keep fighting despite grievous wounds, breathing rocket fuel (oxygen), being the apex predator despite not having a single body part evovled for it with the exception of the front facing eyes.

I guess that after decades of being shown space elves being utterly superior to us seeing the opposite point of view is uplifting?
