Sounds like a very sick film. can't say am interested to watch it.
I don't get how a surgical operation can be interpreted as erotic.
Anyhow your stakeholder analysis of control motivation / power / ability to destroy, upon which it all appears to be based, is missing some important details.
What drives us and all living things is motivation to minimise uncertainty of energy supply. This stated more formally in the Free Energy Principle.
Currently, humans get our energy, about 150 Joules per second 24!7 fir life, from profit, the energy gained in profit.
Hence why we build up savings of energy in the form of money, which is energy always physically.
Possessions are just more capital, that we might find more ways to profit from.
If the capital is human then it's slavery, that we intend to profit from, and the only time we might want to destroy those humans is if or when they break out of the slavery loop, no longer providing us any capability to profit from them, we might want to set an example then by crucifying the culprits or even remaining family, like the Romans used to do, to set example, to never try to break the energy slavery loop.
The problem is that this mode of existence is unsustainable, it's destruction by definition, it requires energy obtained by the energy lie of profit, to be continuously extracted from the planet, constantly pushing up heat and entropy, until eventually the planet burns and floods.
Just like we are seeing.
So we should conclude that no extraterrestrial civilisation could ever be profit driven, it's impossible to survive long enough as a species to become interplanetary at profit. civilisation is already dying because we pushed it too far already.
The only alternative is the energy of the sun, this is the one that needs to be monetised, and the only one that can be used to wind entropy back down, but that ends all possibility of profit, devaluing all capital - who needs to save, if energy and thus money goes for free, as it is from the sun?
Who would still be seeking possession, after we no longer need capital?
Also, does anyone in the street with a stone in their hand, own you, if they showed they could sneak up behind you and clobber you with it, before maybe you could pull a gun on them, does that mean anyone capable of lifting a stone would own you?
Anyone can kill anyone else, or destroy anything they wish to destroy, how does that equate to ownership?
