Do you prefer Alien or Aliens, /tv/?

alien

aliens felt like a diamond dozen 80s action slop. also a lot of the dialogue was retarded and awkward

There was only one Alien film with fanfiction of varying quality levels that followed.

Alien 3

Fight me plebs

>>212887612 (OP)
Alien will always be the superior film. The Xeno actually felt frightening in the original, in subsequent films they were reduced to mre cannon fodder.

resurrection but >>212887689 is a good answer too

Alien 3 was dogshit and even the director disowned it.

Quite possibly the most boring movie in existence

aliens

alien felt like diamond dozen horror where creature chases you
it also looked old, from haircuts to everything

Alien.
Every film James Cameron touches is retard shit.
The industry should really study how he markets/times his releases so they can imitate that and ditch everything else about him.

Mouthwatering

>>212887612 (OP)
had two roomates across grad school
the chemical engineering phd thought alien was the only good entry in the franchise
when he moved out i was assigned a new roomate - a half-arab/half-nigger from some middle eastern shithole who ended up getting kicked out of his program for being too retarded
he loved aliens

>>212887612 (OP)
Aliens of course

>>212887901
trvthnvke blew up the nostromo

Aliens.
>Game over, man! Game over!

that little shithead in the back. you can just see him plotting to send her back out to get rid of the last survivor and resolve the bonus situation.

Alien is vastly superior in art design, characters and story.

Aliens would be just a great example of how working class problems became Reaganite war cry, along with enshittification of Giger's elegance with various McMansion tier inflictions on Alien sleekness were it not for amazing mechanical crew Cameron brought along and his ability to invoke Kurosawa when directing action. Wind blows, things fly and explode, fire burns, gung ho crews find themselves in dire predicaments. I'd rate both movies 10/10 but Alien is significantly better.

Cameron has incredible talent of taking a bunch of generic tropes - first half of Alien is actionless military procedural - and making them actually gripping.

>>212887612 (OP)
We all know Aliens is the correct answer, but you will get trolls saying other movies.

Hnnnggg

Only boomers like aliens. It aged like shit

>>212887612 (OP)
I can't choose anymore I usually don't want either. Or 3 or 4 or anything related.

>>212887612 (OP)
Aliens, because the side characters are more charismatic. Everyone in Alien is bored

>>212887612 (OP)
Alien is vastly overrated.

Aliens is by FAR the superior kino.

3 & 4 are meh.

>>212887612 (OP)
Alien.

Consider offing yourselves

I remember the first time I watched Aliens, I had always heard people hated that newt and hicks die in the third one, so I was prepared to like those characters
But Newt's actress is bad and all her dialogue sucks and ultimately when I ended up watching 3, I really liked that she was gone.

This. When anyone in the world thinks of the xenomorph and wants more of it, they think of Aliens. They want to experience more of Aliens in movies, games, comics, toys, etc. No one is like "yeah, gimme more slow paced rubber suit man from Alien!, lame nonsensical prison slop from Alien 3!, or contrived whedon quipfest with a retarded unscary newborn Alien 4!"

>>212887612 (OP)
Newt's cunny

>>212887899
Alien 3 is the only good Fincher movie.

>>212887612 (OP)
Alien is the hipster answer. It's actually aged quite poorly but no one actually watches it anymore so nobody has noticed.

Cameron destroys Ridley Scott in every way possible, as their respective filmographies confirm.

>>212891578
It's a generic action movie from a retard who just make easily accessible schlock for the masses who didn't understand a fucking thing about what he was making. It's fun but it's not a good sequel.

Alien is awesome

next to empire strikes back Aliens might be one of the best sequels ever made

Aliens theatrical - 10
Alien directors - 9
Alien theatrical - 8
Aliens directors - 7
Alien 4 - 6
Alien 3 - 5

>>212891730
They want Colonial marines.

Aliens is way more entertaining than alien

My official recommendation for watching order is

Alien
Aliens
Predator
AvP2 Requiem


IGNORE EVERYTHING ELSE

>>212891952
>AvP2 Requiem
the fuck is wrong with you

>>212891982
Avp2 requiem was pure SOVL and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't. It gave us what we wanted. No more,no less. If you're don't like it, you are a onions boy beta

>>212891925
You guys only hate the director's cut because it contains the most perfect "prequel" scenes ever put to screen. Short, sweet, to the point, expands the movie by showing how they were living and what happened but doesn't ruin it by pretending some crazy epic shit went down right prior to the movie with some hidden characters that will now pop up in the sequels

>>212887612 (OP)
Aliens
