Maybe

>>213604419 (OP)
No. They already fucked up by making it a prequel to ALIEN that happens almost immediately before it. In the books it would have taken the place of ALIEN 3, which nearly killed the franchise. And the infestation wasn't fixed within 2 years then totally forgotten about.

Once again, pedowood DID NOT DO THE FUCKING RESEARCH.

I wasn’t interested before but I’m definitely checking it out now. I’m sure there’ll be 20 threads of people that supposedly hate it but won’t stop talking about it in the coming months.

One of the top 2 or 3 worst things I have EVER seen. And Fargo wasn't even that good. It was just memeworthy.

I'm pretty sure they have already made one but Disney keeps it in the vault for some reason.

>>213604964
Alien franchise is the messiest, most fan-contemptuous, most low-effort, most sloppa in all of popular media.
When they done what they done to my boy LOTR or Star Wars, I cope and seethe.
When they do it to ALIEN, they're doing us a favor.

The "lore" is an absolute fucking mess and always has been.

>>213604419 (OP)
Yes, but most shows take a bit to find their footing. /tv/ will shit on it immediately because they're stupid and think every episode will be perfect gold

>>213604419 (OP)
No, Romulus should've been the proof Disney is a shit IP steward.

>>213604419 (OP)
Noah Hawley didn’t even understand the plot of the movie Fargo when he adapted it for tv (seriously, this is an actual thing) and I have a much harder time imagining he could honour the Alien franchise properly

>>213609588
There was nothing wrong with the plot of Romulus. I even liked the Weyland-Yutani shit. My only gripe was the android being Ash himself

>>213606054
>Fargo, an undertaking that should have sucked but exceeded all expectations
It constantly ripped off Coen brothers films that had no relation to Fargo, and had random shit like a UFO in it because he fundamentally misunderstood a key part of the movie

>>213609639
The plot was fine but the annoying characters and stupid references ruined the movie. There's no tension if you're happy when a character dies.

>>213609639
The company got exactly what they wanted shortly after the events of the first film after somehow finding the alien (and, apparently, Ripley’s shuttle) in the vastness of space but they never bothered emailing or backing up the key info or investigating their own station when things went wrong. The original alien survived only to be killed offscreen by some jobber. And the endless callbacks, Jesus… Nice sets but not a good script

>>213604419 (OP)
It will be canon for the next 15 years regardless, so it doesn't really matter

>>213604419 (OP)
I've watched everything Alien up to this point, but I shan't go any further. Romulus was the last straw. That was a bunch of shit. If Ridley comes back to do the 3rd entry in the Prometheus/David storyline, then I'll probably check that out, but all this other slop, the Disney-izing rape of the franchise, like what they did to Predator, is a horrendous affront.

>>213604419 (OP)

Legitimately nailed that JW would mog the other summer flicks and cape shit would underperform. Get sneeded.

>>213606177
Yeah, those are all really MAGA chuds in the SP threads seething over the latest episodes.

>>213613458
if it's just the xeno, then yes, 7 episodes of nothingburger is possible. but that's why the series has multiple alien species.

>>213606334
Imagine picking a hairstyle that looks like what your ancestors used to hang from trees with.

>>213613496
No, they said JW would flop because it had woman and black in it, you lying cuck.
>>213613527
Sure anon, the group known for losing their shit over any negative mention of their idol president aren’t currently seething at SP, it’s all just shills.

>>213607610
No it’s not. Are you unironically racist?

Why are you helping them rape the franchise?

>>213604437
But Alien Vs. Predator stars a black woman and it was great.

>>213613637
>are you unironically racist?
Why are you here

>>213613709
To discuss movies and TV shows I enjoy. Why are you here?

>>213613637
Not that anon, but that guy has a point. Obviously even the first Alien had a black dude and women in it. That's not the issue for me at least. But the casting does very much look like a by the numbers DEI checklist rather than actual characters. And if you're starting off with that kind of mentality, I don't see much promise there. Also it's apparently a prequel and those generally are just lazy cash ins.

>>213613610
Everyone was saying JW was going to make the most money easily because people like dinosaurs and it did. You were probably one of the few insisting F4 would be the most successful.

You can't even extrapolate one sentence. Do you really believe every single one of those anons are lil chuddies or whatever and a few of them aren't just trolling?

>>213613637
I am. You can thank black people for that.

>>213613827

>>213606334

>>213613749
>casting does very much look like a by the numbers DEI checklist
It’s a black woman. Are they never allowed to show up in tv shows or movies anymore because it triggers you people? A show isn’t shit because a black woman is in it (unless you’re racist), it’s shit because of writing and directing, and I can see this one going either direction.

>>213613876
Brain dead nigger lover

>>213613806
>Do you really believe every single one of those anons are lil chuddies
No. I’m just rejecting your implication that they’re all shills. You think none of them are MAGA chuds mad that South Park is making fun of the president?

>>213613876
I didn't say I was triggered. I just said that wasn't my issue. But take a look at the cast of say Alien vs the cast of Alien Earth. One looks like some plausible people doing a job. The other looks like "we need to have a diversity checklist".

>>213613876

>>213613749
>dei
with the exception of that black woman with pink hair, who is playing one of the least important in the main cast, nothing on the trailers or the cast list screams dei.
unless you count a count the one indian guy in the main cast, who looks closer to a latin guy.

>>213613827

I'm genuinely surprised that anyone likes Romulus
The only thing remotely good about it was the autistic nigger bot, that's it

>>213613969
Tim Olyphant is the only one there I even know. Sorry but this is no Alien cast. These are a bunch of nobodies hired on the cheap for yet more DEI prequelshit.

>>213613951
Read that single sentence again. There's no implication that they're all shills. It's sarcastically saying they aren't all MAGA chuds. That doesn't then mean "well they must all be shills". That LITERALLY means a few of them are shills/trolling.

>>213613936
Yep you sound pretty triggered.
>>213613956
Maybe they don’t look old or scruffy enough for you. Otherwise you got a pretty obvious gender and race bias.
>>213613963
Unattractive people are DEI now?

>>213613456
It's amazing how modern Disney fails to understand how quickly you can devalue a brand.

>>213613997
Nope. Black fragility, bringing race into everything and a "it's different when we do it" mindset made me racist.

No it doesn’t literally mean that given this response >>213606132

>>213614079

i'd rather let the alien franchise be the launching point of actors' careers like it did for sigourney weaver. keeps the budget low.

They weren't my actions, nigger faggot. This has been my response to THEIR actions. Gnomesayan?

>>213614246
That’s my point, dumbass. The original cast isn’t an example of DEI but one picture of a black woman freaks you losers out. You want to pretend there’s no gender and race bias then all that tells me it’s your first hour on this board.

>>213614306
Oh jeez you’re retarded.

>>213614319
Yeah. It's all about one person. Not the fact that one cast looks believable together and the other looks like a mishmash of standard Hollywood slop. It's because a black woman with dyed hair. You're a fucking idiot.

>>213614350
You're a cuck with no backbone, brown or both.

>>213614430

>>213614411

>>213615230
>you guys and your manufactured pre-hate is ridiculous
No. Making these sequels to beloved 80's movies is like treading on holy ground for people. For better or worse (possibly for the worse, but you can't un-close Pandora's box), these movies have been handed down between generations of people and venerated as "the best movies ever" - and frankly a movie like Alien is quite good, and in ways that are difficult if not impossible to replicate.
And with the Alien series specifically, this has been a conversation since Prometheus in 2012 - are fans capable of accepting new things, should the old things be treated like these "sacred tomes" among their fandoms, is the creator in the right to force evolution on his creation (this is a question both for the Engineers of humanity in Prometheus, and which Ridley considers for himself as the creator of this behemoth franchise), even Ridley himself seems reluctant to continue the Alien series - doing so at the behest of Fox
>A King has his reign and then he dies - says Vickers to Weyland in Prometheus
>I am Oyzmandias, King of Kings - Look on my works ye mighty and despair - quotes David in Alien: Covenant
I think even Ridley might hope Alien is something people will move past

The thing is, no one is actually asking for these sequels. No one among the general audience.
No one actually wants sequels to these great 80's movies.
Studios make them because they see people watching these old movies and going "wow these old movies are great!" - so the studios think to themselves, "well we can make some money by giving people more of what they want" - but then they find out they're just stepping on the toes of fans, and probably failing to draw in new people when fans go "ouch, you stepped on my toes with that!"

So it's this insane catch 22 scenario where it doesn't matter how much talent and effort you throw at it, a sequel simply isn't going to be the original thing.

There is a golden path out of this mess.

>>213617931
The game doesn't have enough going on mechanically to stay engaging for 20+ hours. I really love everything about Isolation and it's outright one of my favorite horror games, but it really drags on towards the end.

>>213617999
is it on Fx?

Beside that guy from the Las Vegas show the cast looks like shit

>>213617810
It's pretty much just memberberries exactly like Romulus (which also references it), except unlike Romulus its existence is justified by the novelty of those memberberries being presented as an immersive interactive experience in which you're free to explore the sets and locations in first-person. It at least brings something unique to the table. Whenever I think of Romulus I just want to grab Alien or Aliens off the Blu-ray shelf instead because it's a movie just the same and does everything better.

I'm curious to see if audiences will enjoy this more than Alien Romulus. I really liked Fede Alvarez's vision for the franchise but I also REALLY am excited and super thrilled to see how Noah Hawley created the world for Alien Earth. It all harkens back to the original look of Alien and Aliens which I can appreciate. Even some of the shots from the trailer looks like Alien Earth pays a bit of homage to Alien 3 and Resurrection.

I was never a big fan of Ridley Scott's prequels Prometheus and Covenant. They just seemed to have too advanced tech and the sets and costume designs looked too pristine to have any kind of strong association with the original franchises.

This is what the Alien films have been so desperately needing. Is a direct correlation to the original franchise. Romulus achieved that and it looks like Noah Hawley's take with Alien Earth will very much do the same imo.

So how was the first ep? Good or bad?

Disagree hard. Apeing the aesthetic of the original movies but doing nothing new is the worst death knell of a series. It killed the Star Wars sequel films the same. I would rather have flawed but different than same but worse. Hopefully Earth will bridge the gap by merging the two visual identities and also doing something new.

Romulus was a technically well made movie with decent acting, but an absolute dogshit story. Aliens was the only good Alien adaption so far, and that was a pretty hard genre break. Prometheus and Covenant are aids-tier trash. Incredible artistic premises, but absolute dogshit execution with meaningless characters and plots.

Best thing going for Alien Earth is that is it a TV show, so it has more time/space to tell a potentially larger story, or in more detail. The new creatures don't seem terrible, and I like that they are moving away from constantly having a Ripley in everything, but I also don't see anything especially interesting or meaningful about the story either. All the female protagonist tropes Alien seems stuck with aren't bad, but at this point I think they need to innovate the formulate more: Romulus is clear of that, that the premise works, but being too derivative is bad even with good technical execution.

>>213619528
Fede and Denis are hacks. What's wrong with Spanish directors?

>>213617810
>>213617931
Its pretty decent survival-horror game even by modern standards. The aesthetics and sound effects are by far the strongest part, as well as the famous AI. Devs got access to all the behind-the-scenes assets for Alien and Aliens, and went to extreme lengths being very faithful in maintaining that.

As a game, I wouldn't recommend the hardest game modes. Normal or Hard are the best experiences personally. The issue with harder modes is it highlights the weaker/less interesting aspects of the AI as well as limiting your access to tools. If you're even remotely a fan of Alien or Aliens, I'd highly recommend Isolation even at full price. It's pretty clearly the best Alien franchise game, and I'd probably put it up there with the first two movies in terms of quality.

Is this going to on FX On Demand or am I going to have to buy another fucking Hulu account?

>>213606354

Hard to say what was his fault vs Disney's control over the project. I'm glad Disney is allowing 'any' Alien media to be made at all, even if it was PG-13 for kiddies on The Disney Channel to watch with their parents.

>>213604437
it's a good heuristic

>>213613355

yes it does the weyland-yutani merger isn't supposed to happen yet and the xenomorphs haven't been created yet either

>>213617510
In the first Alien movie the Company was already well aware of the xenomorph's existence and had even prepared an android to act on their interests regarding it
It's not farfetched to think the Company hasn't had one or more in somewhere more familiar, like earth.

>>213618306

I really respect your opinion anon. I know a lot of fans who enjoyed Ridley's prequels. I'm just not one of them personally. Always been huge fan of the original franchise and its aesthetic.

>>213619528
>Best thing going for Alien Earth is that is it a TV show, so it has more time/space to tell a potentially larger story, or in more detail. The new creatures don't seem terrible.

Completely agree with this.

>I like that they are moving away from constantly having a Ripley in everything.

This I disagree with. Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley character has been largely amiss from the franchise since 1997 after Resurrection. They never really created a strong conclusion to her story and left so many ambiguities to where her character could have ended up. I like Sigourney as an actress and loved her character Ripley. She was the focal point of the original franchise. She propelled the genre by proving a female heroine could work in a sci-fi horror series. I would like to see a conclusion to her story before her age becomes a major detriment.

>>213619640
I liked the first two AVP more than Isolation

>>213619640
Anyone playing Isolation on PC should get the mod that adds anti-aliasing. It's aggravatingly jaggy without it.

Also, Dark Descent is a better Aliens game but everyone ignored it because it had bad marketing and it was widely assumed to be an X-Com clone. It's an atmospheric, stealthy RTS that only borrows its homebase systems from X-Com.

>>213620586

Yes, but then the franchise continues on with Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Resurrection story about cloning Ripley 200 years after her death.

I was pumped for Neill Blomkamp's take on bringing back Michael Biehn as Hicks and an older more elderly Ripley. I thought the concept art generated by his Alien 5 ideas were really cool. It's a shame Neill's vision never took to fruition and the studios scrapped it all because Ridley wanted to make Alien Covenant...I just thought it was a huge power play by Ridley and it canned a pretty epic vision for a great Alien story.

Then for a while audiences and fans were speculating about how Alien 3 and Resurrection could be a dream and Ripley wakes up out of hypersleep still with Hicks and Newt etc. I've heard a lot about how the franchise could continue with a Ripleyesque storyline. Not all of them being bad imo.

>>213620586
Yeah, Resurrection Ripley is a separate character with a few inherited traits. Real Ripley died in the Terminator 2 vat.

Joined venture before the merger ala real world companies and it takes place after the prequels so yes the xenomorphs are created the engineers created them in the image of the destroying angels david recreated the his strain of the xenomorphs aka the praetomorph

>>213621066
i doubt you even came up with that one

>>213621121
david created both the praetomorph and the xenomorph so unless it really takes place after the prequels it breaks canon

How many more hours to go??

If Fincher didn't direct Alien3 would anyone even bother pretending to defend it?

>>213623554
47 minutes

>>213623602
Watch party link? I like viewing kinos with my friends here on /tv/

>>213623583
I think people defend it because they like the grimy setting, the brief relationship between Ridley and Tywin, and the death scene. They'd probably still defend it even without Fincher's name attached. I don't like Alien 3 because I associate it with similar-looking bald men running through corridors for about 40 boring minutes, and with the worst xeno of the franchise.

>>213623642
I'm not on my 'puter. So, for the moment, here is the livestream of FX: https://tvpass.org/channel/fx-networks-east-coast

i have FX. it'll air soon. i'm guessing it will air with constant fucking TV ads on FX? i'd rather just wait to torrent it 2bh.

>>213623802
Beyond like 2 or 3 good sequences (Tywins death, the closing doors chase) it's a pretty bad movie though. The plot is kinda retarded. They waste a really great setting of a space prison. The characters are not distinctive enough at all (I actually don't care that they're all balds, I'm talking about their personalities). And it doesn't bring the franchise anywhere new at all, the stakes are so much lower compared to Aliens. The most daring thing it did was kill off Hicks and Newt in the intro and that proved to be a pretty poor decision since the characters that replaced them were inferior, and the emotional beat of Ripley's loss falls a bit flat anyway.

Overall it's arguably the worst movie in the franchise. And one of the entries is a quippy Joss Whedon script where a cripple dual wields against xenomorphs.

I hope it’s good cuz maybe they will make an MiB tv show.

it's another character driven show like andor
