This seems kind of cringe so far imo desu

>>213683238 (OP)
what is this nigga about

>>213683238 (OP)
>little xeno to the right

Mild kek

Will we see her and Wendy lez out?

>>213683277
it's cringe and bad
and not like alien resurrection

>>213683238 (OP)
Is the xenomorph blind? It looked like it in the second episode

>>213683299
anon...

>>213683277
It's not really cringe as much as it just sucks.

why is every show and movie full of zoomers now?

>>213683279
aura farming fr fr

Noah Hawley made the opening episodes of Legion quirky, offbeat, and completely different from any other superhero show/movie

And yet the opening 2 episodes of this were basically standard sci-fi horror fare

Explain?

>>213683277
better than romulous

>>213683279
Imagine if the big reveal is he was a xeno in disguise this whole time. Pure distilled kino.

>>213683341
zoomer audience baiting

>>213683238 (OP)
Weinstein would have made sure prettier actors were cast as the hybrids.

>>213683341
The oldest zoomers are 29

:(

stopped watching when they had the cat infected with the alien shit. I dont like seeing animals suffer.

>>213683341
that's the only people who still watch streaming

>>213683238 (OP)
I hate these peter pan island motherfuckers. i hope they cry when they read this. they should be retired like the replicants they are.

>>213683341
Zoomers are like 26 years old now

Aliens are animais too

There has always been an undercurrent of Alien threads/posting on /tv/. Always. Even where there was nothing new for years. Alien is /tv/-core.

Anon, you're getting older.

He should be a secret predator and it should be an after credit scene.

>[in Predator language] "The hunt is on!"
That will be 5 million dollars, Disney.

>>213683353
Romulus has a better portrayal of the xenomorphs and better worldbuilding for now.

Alien is not supposed to be quirky. It's basically a slasher. That's why David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy was so bad. (first one was kino though)

>>213683388
>it was just an orange cat
nevermind

>>213683290
They are gonna fuck like roborabbits in my future fanfiction that i'm never gonna write...

Deep space hags.

Why was the alien pretending to be a statue? why would it bother? what was it thinking when it did that?

>>213683293
If you stitch the deleted scenes back into Prometheus it starts to make for a better story. I loved those two movies but there were strange plot holes and story turns that don't really make sense for someone with Ridley Scott's reputation

>>213683388
>NOT LE HECKIN MEOWY MEOWY JUMPY SCRATCHY BOI! MOMMY TURN IT OFF!
faggot

>>213683461
It's a slasher now, it wasn't when it started. It was supposed to be serious business eldritch horror stuff.

>>213683494
>"Oh hey it's the fag with plot armor. Can't kill him. I'll go after the jeet."

>>213683494
They observe and learn to better catch and kill their prey and enemies. It is known.

>>213683507
alien 1979 is definitely a slasher

>>213683494
they do that constantly, watch the movies and the very show you're probably on your phone on all the time to learn more!

>>213683279
>it's Ripley
>she's 70 years old

>>213683547
no

>>213683438
>it's predating time
And then he predates all over them.

>>213683279
The thing he's cleaning off the wall is black goo and he's a WY employee, calling it right now.

More qt than any of the protags and yet gets 5 seconds. Fucking jews.

>>213683541
he's a yutani synthetic that's been saving the damn thing and sacrificing everyone else since minute one. get your head out of hitler's ass

>>213683541
Worst thing in the show so far, the xeno has never been humiliated like that.

Is Timothy Elephants character supposed to be a Blade Runner Replicant?

>>213683600
she's really not as big of a deal as you anons are making her out to be. 6.5/10.

>>213683629
nice booba and perfect ass too

>>213683640
yes, but without the licensing
>>213683604
he's actually not a synthetic, he's a cyborg. which makes less sense.

I agree that the Alien franchise has a lot of side shit going on besides the xenomorph. So much stuff that the xeno is more of a guest star than the main thing in recent media. But almost all of that is already there from the start. Scott did not need to include corporations, robots and earth politics in first place. The expanded universe has so much to offer.

>>213683640
No

How was it that marines in aliens could easy fight a load of aliens with their machine guns but here they cant deal with 1 alien?

How bout you replicate deez nuts on your chin

>>213683683
the tech wasn't there yet

>>213683641
you gay, she's a solid 8

Would it be funny if they tried having an Alien that was retarded?

>>213683683
The marines kill Aliens all the time. Just not those Aliens.

why did all that white stuff come out as soon as i touched it? is that like the white stuff we have for blood?

>>213683503
how did you get your hands on hawley's script notes?

>>213683683
they're not marines, just local wagecucks looking at a traffic accident.

>>213683720
she knows what sperm is, she yells it loudly at the beardsoy

>>213683683
These guys are glorified mall cops on a search and rescue mission.

>>213683667
The Alien universe is awesome. That's why I read all the shitty books. I would like a tv show on a Weyland-Yutani colony without any xenomorphs or engineers. Just a settlement like the one in Romulus and showing their daily life, struggles, happy and sad times, etc. Going to work, grabbing some street food, struggling tom find people your age to connect with, all of that.

I thought that the complete retard trillionaire with nonsense motivations was shitty writing but then I remembered that Elon Musk exists.

>>213683562
To be honest, it'd be interesting since they haven't really dealt with clones (or synthetic clones) in the Alien franchise or Blade Runner.
But really I just want them to continue the fucking story and make a film set after Aliens that isn't crap

>>213683299
Nobody knows?

>>213683809
Elephant looks much better

Imagine if the zoomer guy fucked his robot sister

>Xenomorphs in the Alien franchise do not have visible eyes, but they are not considered blind. They possess hidden eyes under their translucent head dome, and they likely have other senses like echolocation and electromagnetic perception to navigate and perceive their environment

>>213683824
well Bishop is a synthetic clone of Charles Bishop Weyland, depending on how canon AvP is. But I really like the idea regardless.

>>213683842
I can't imagine him fucking anything.

>>213683842
he wouldn't
unless she had a cock

>>213683874
AvP is canon to the AvP universe not to the Alien one

>>213683842
>>213683879
That nigga gay

>>213683873
They don't have hidden eyes, they have an empty skull beneath their dome. There's no canon info about their eyes, but in one of the comics they say that they see the same way Sharks do, meaning they see electric currents.

>>213683629
She looks better with her hair down. Still easily outclasses almost every actress they had in a lead role.

So the xenomorphs talk to each other and the main cunt can hear them? Will they try to communicate with the creatures now? Learn their language? We gonna have a xenomorph waxing poetic by the end?

>>213683901
Alien 3 has POV shots from the runner's perspective, so they can see somehow.

>>213683925
Somehow, yes, but they don't have eyes.

>>213683904
This director is dogshit

>>213683842
He's gonna fuck the xenomorph instead

>>213683751
I want the same on Earth. I want to see life under corporation slavery.

the feel in this show is way off. I felt the same about the Michael fassbender alien movies.

>>213683925
>>213683934
I laughed in the theater when Covenant gave us xenovision

Someone on Reddit froze one of the images that montage really quick in the beginning on the ship. Hopefully there's more coming of what happened before the crash shown.

This part was kino

>>213683923
wendy is said to have supercomputer as a brain, and they're flabbergasted by her somehow magically remotely hacking into the robot/camera that talks to her brother and talking through it, they're definitely gonna do some overpowered godlike powers asspulls.

>>213684001
Quatar and Saudi Arabia are right there.
As long as you're not Indian, you'll be fine.

>>213683923
I'm guessing the corporations will want to use Wendy to control and weaponize the xenomorph.

>>213683842
I assumed that the reason he was angry at first was because he thought she was a random woman he could try to bang until the reveal

>>213684013
>Hopefully there's more coming of what happened
There definitely will be. An entire Alien film happened up there while we were dicking around with the cancer kids.

>>213684023
I hope this is not a real consciousness transfer. That makes no sense whatsoever, not even conceptually. This is some magical bullshit. It should be some kind of fake imitation, and the kids are actually dead, and it's just synths thinking they are kids with fake memories that got downloaded.

>>213684023
It was nice how they went through it together but the process itself seemed a bit too simple.

>>213683748
>>213683787
That scene was so weird and out of place like they have to check a box to dunk on low T white men. Low sperm count and other problems can be defeated with artificial reproduction even now and in a future earth where they can grow perfect synthetic human bodies it would be an instafix with one pill or shot

>>213684013
>>213684079
I was kind of surprised that the first episode wasn't just an abridged Alien movie. I still can't decide if that was good or bad since I really loved the worldbuilding we got instead and it's not like a repeat of the exact same story again would've added much.

WTF is up with the peter pan shit

>>213684096
fake imitation after death is basically rebirth/consciousness transfer, never watched that black mirror episode?

>>213684131
Oh shit, the shadow on that building in the background really fucks up at the start. That's a pretty terrible vfx blunder.

>>213684134
kek what worldbuilding

>>213684023
I was half expecting to see the real girl waking back up and freaking out at her clone.

>>213684163
The theme is clearly going to be about how the hybrids never have to grow up since their minds are permanently childlike (theoretically) and they never die

>>213684163
MJ reference.

>>213683912
she is a Ukrainian expat living in Malaysia. She probably doesn't even speak fucking English.

>>213683429
I won't disagree cause that's simply the truth but the rate these threads are going is insane. There has to be some huge shill fuckery or samefaggery going on here, anon.

>>213684023
Indian anons would you actually want to respawn into another Indian body and with a thick accent to boot ?

Got it. Girls like that grown on trees in Ukraine and Russia. In a truly globalized society they would put all other women put of business

>>213684236
*losing their innocence

>>213684245
Not trying to be a dick but I don't think that's really worldbuilding.

>>213684245
Don't forget private medical teams armed with assault rifles to defend their clients like in cyberpunk

>>213684528
No, he was a child they took from Earth to teach him to be their prophet because they weren't happy with the way things were developing on Earth. When he was killed they decided we're a lost cause.

>>213684096
>I hope this is not a real consciousness transfer.
It is. Its like what happens in Avatar.
>That makes no sense whatsoever, not even conceptually. This is some magical bullshit.
Its scifislop bro

>>213684408
He developed an addiction.

>>213684471
engineers are future humans who evolved through being stuck in a loop of alien movies where they narrowly survive getting owned by the xenomorph for 50 flopping movies and netflix specials. >>213684599

>>213684471
It's quite possible it will never get explained fully.

>>213684597
There ya go. Would love to see how we got to the 2100s from where we are now but that may be too much.

>>213684485
Why is it so retarded?

>>213683824

>>213684658
Studio meddling.

I wish we could have seen more of the female engineer people but not for sexual reasons or anything like that.

>>213684625
did they give him powers or just talk to him?

How long until we see more than one Ayy on screen? There's multiple people with burst chests on the crashed ship so there's obviously going to be more.

>>213684677
I doubt that.

I'm just saying Ripley was kinda hot in the 1st movie

>>213684096
what's the difference
you wake up every day and remember your previous days and that's it
there is no continuity

>>213684734
She was really hot.

>>213684694
I don't think there's an answer to that, it's barely a thing in the scripts.

>>213684734
not as hot as Ferro

What's the evolutionary history of the xeno? Why did the black goo evolve into it?

is it going to be 2 episodes every week or just 1 from now?

>>213684830
it was made by the engineers

>>213684832
1

>>213684832
Next week 3 episodes, and then a break for one month. And then one episode every two weeks until the last episode, which will be released as two half hour parts, with a month in-between

>>213684832
Just 1.

My impression from Prometheus/Covenant was that the xeno existed even before the engineers began spacefaring

>>213684882
Some anon posted the poster with a fly looking nigga as the fifth alien earlier so I'm guessing "The Fly" is going to literally be about that

>>213684963
Is Metamorphosis going to be about someone becoming a cockroach?

From the earlier drafts of the film:
>Aliens exist who are for all intents and purposes giant humans, and we call them Engineers
>They advance and evolve to great mental and physical heights
>However they lose the ability to reproduce
>A young Engineer stumbles upon the Deacon, something which resembles a more natural and somewhat benign version of the Xenomorph
>The Deacon is still a parasite, so this Engineer becomes impregnated and a Deacon chestburts out of him
>The Engineers worship the Deacon's host as a martyr and likewise venerate the Deacon as a symbol of fertility and life
>This is why there's a big statue of an Engineer head and a mural of something resembling a xenomorph in the black goo chamber
>The Engineers extract gold goo from the Deacon and use it to seed life throughout the galaxy (as we see in the prologue of Prometheus)
>Thus, humans are essentially hybrids of the Engineers and the Deacon
>Billions of years pass, and the Engineers continue to dwindle in numbers, as they are incredibly long lived but not immortal
>It is believed that many have simply ascended beyond the physical world
>The gold goo is being depleted so the Engineers try to create a synthetic substitute
>This results in the black goo
>Unfortunately, the black goo only creates horrible monsters so it is shelved
>Engineers watch the development of humanity, but are disappointed by our savagery
>They decided to take a young boy from Earth, educate him in their ways, and send him back to spread their teachings
>It is strongly implied that this student of theirs was Jesus Christ
>Following the crucifixion, the Engineers decide to destroy humanity with the black goo
>The black goo predictably causes a disaster so the lab is quarantined until the events of Prometheus
>Altogether, this means that xenomorphs are essentially a shitty demonic imitation of the Deacon

Why did David kill the Engineers?

>>213684830
there is no black goo

>>213685021
Though it's interesting that stuff is from a fake script popularized by a youtuber called Kroft talks about Movies.

>>213685103
upset about the whole getting beheaded thing

>>213684830
depends on what you want to believe is canon, alien 1979 has the long dead mummified space jockey with a bursted chest, and facehugger eggs as cargo. prometheus and covenant takes place before then and has david tinkering with genetic materials to create facehuggers and the xenomorph. trying to keep and unfuck all the lore together, the spacejockey in 1979 seems much different than the engineers in prometheus, and looks like it could have been dead long before prometheus happened. also whatever bursted out of the spacejockey isn't around for some reason.

>>213685145
>whatever bursted out of the spacejockey isn't around for some reason.
This is probably the biggest mystery in all of Alien and yet I don't see many people talk about it.

>>213685103
those weren't engineers, they were an offshoot

>>213685103
Pretty sure they were supposed to be another failed batch like humanity.

I'm playing through Isolation, and it's funny how much better game writers are than TV writers, kek

>>213685237
Except for the last part where Ripley goes full woman moment for no reason. The original story draft you can find online was much better, I don't know why they didn't go with that one.

>>213685177
>>213685206
They were what the Engineers ended up becoming, the one we saw in Prometheus was in stasis for a long time.

>>213683277
It mogs Prometheus

Not that that's hard to do

>>213685172
i mean it obviously was supposed to be a subtle hint as to what was going to happen after the facehugger implanted a chestburster, where people would be shocked and then remember the line about the spacejockey. even though the spacejockey didn't have a rape-able face, and they didnt know at the time that there would be a clusterfuck of contradictional timeline breaking lore with so many movies. according to covenant the xenomorph requires a stupid cocktail of genetic material and processes, while in alien 1979 a xenomorph is born simply from a facehugger + human.
i like to think the spacejockey was part of the engineer civilisation, but had been dead for a really long time and is a different kind of class/worker in their world, david simply learned a lot about their culture and technology and nigger-rigged his own xenomorph.

>>213685021
>pic
kek
That really was the funniest shit. The catalog was flooded with engy threads after Romulus came out.

>>213685282
they were only in stasis for like 2000 years, the covenant engineers are canonically not engineers, the prometheus engineers are scarce and sparsely populate different places.

>>213685482
Ahkshually you are right, I had forgotten what the layout looks like without 4chx. But 8/tv/ did have an obsession with Prometheus as well. The meme image comparing Prometheus to classical literature is from there.

>>213685421
They aren't retards. They want to create sustainable life, they don't want to create massively growing unstable populations that are doomed, or worse, that will spread out to the stars and cause chaos before they get doomed.

It would be very easy for them to just shit out baby engy's on every planet they find, they already decided that they don't do that.

>>213685716
Its not good but its not terrible either. Anons pretending its the worst thing they've ever seen are just women.

>>213685828
AFAIK in the script this guy was in hibernation to stop a chestburster from growing inside him and killing him, when other engineers found him they'd be able to save him.

Weyland and David waking him up was a death sentence.

You're exaggerating heavily but the dialogue with the baseball ball really was incredibly strange.

>>213684301
I don't know what counts as worldbuilding to you, but seeing expansion of how the world operates and the state it's in feels like worldbuilding to me.
So being shown that there are cyborgs and hybrids alongside synths, and the way hybrids are created from the minds of children because the tech doesn't work with adults - to me that's quite interesting and fleshes out the background more, for example.

>>213686105

I also hated how the soldiers were making jokes 10 minutes after the hit. That said compared to tv now? Its retarded but not terrible.

>>213686105
yeah they should have said "what's in the cum sock?"

>>213686180
Genetic memory is canon. There's a book (that for some reason Fox specifically decided is canon) where the protagonist is a descendant of Ripley, and he travels to LV-426 and the Aliens (because of course there are still some) absolutely despise him and him specifically. The novel also canonizes that people with telepathic abilities exist.

>>213685828
It's like waking up after an exhausting day of work and you see Warwick Davis and his little midget family in you bedroom.
Don't matter your race or religion, YOU are going to throw these little shit heads against a wall non stop no matter what. The engineers are very relatable

I will never forgive the franchise for killing Hicks in 3. He was the best character in Aliens.

>>213684673
Alien 4 isn't canon

>>213686204
Is that background? Seems so far like it's the core concept of this show.

>>213686256
it's not LV-426, and he's not telepathic but an empath

>>213686037
>Search and Rescue team are armed marines
>They just aimlessly wander through a collapsing building pointing their guns at dark corners
>A giant hole in a stairwell? Let's jump over it for no reason!

This was written by AI

Does episode 2 introduce a main character or a plot or something? This was worse than a campus orientation vid

>>213686347
>corporate rent-a-cops are marines
lmao

>>213686344
Empath is what I was looking for, you're right. And if it's not LV-426 when how do the Aliens know him again? It's been a while.

>Hermit sees the weird alien eggs
>shoves his face right up in there
>like just huffing all of that alien goodness
This is on par with the stupidity of when the captain in Covenant did similar when David told him too
I'd almost go as far to say it's dumber

>>213686331
I don't think something has to be background to count as worldbuilding.
But yes, the background being the way that synths aren't the only robot-like invention on earth and explaining how other companies made their money competing with each other. It also arguably adds context to Prometheus and Covenant. If the companies on earth are all racing to 'solve' immortality, David's motivations/programming make more sense and the reason why the corpos want to capture a xeno makes more sense beyond "oh, we can probably do some tests on that".

>>213683238 (OP)
Why does a Britnomg care about baseball? Why does Faggot NotChamlet think he can steal it?

>>213686425
I think it's a staple of the franchise now that someone (or everyone in Covenant's case) has to be extremely stupid.

>>213686425
I mean he decided that it might be dangerous and pulled his head back when it started moving. That makes him smarter than literally every other person in the franchise.

>>213686425
You and anyone that complains about that specifically somehow missed the part where in every fucking movie there is a marquee moment where a character does either exactly that or something literally just as retarded.

>>213686325
it's the last thing that was canon

>>213686379
It's a sequel to a book that explained why Ripley's escape shuttle took 57 years to be found, and has her showing up at another planet between Alien and Aliens. There's aliens in a mine there, she has an adventure, everyone dies and she's the only survivor but her memory is partially wiped. It's explained that Ash uploaded part of his consciousness onto the escape ship and that's why she was drifting, and he guided her ship to the planet purposefully. The sequel to the book, the one you're thinking of, establishes that Alien Resurrection is canon and has her descendant (Decker) visiting that same planet against his will as part of a mercenary team to find xenomorphs.
I'll agree the premise sounds dumb at first, and I avoided the books, but I ended up listening to the audio dramas and they were good enough that they sold me on the stories. Plus after Resurrection, AvP, Prometheus and Covenant, lore continuity for the Alien series doesn't really seem important anymore.

>>213686318
he was a fag

Alien : this gay Earth

>>213686538
Yeees that was it. Out of the Shadows and Sea of Sorrows the two books were called. Good stuff.

>>213686425

reminds me of the moron in Prometheus approaching the obvious space cobra and trying to touch it even after it demonstrates a defensive gesture


these morons just never learn lmao

>>213686567
If you haven't listened to the audio dramas, I recommend them. You can probably skip River of Pain, since it's about Hadley's Hope and retcons stuff, but YMMV.

The cast has absolutely zero charisma

Sad and many such cases

I want one of these movies to have a retarded alien who just keeps fucking up and being clumsy and shit

The facehugger life stage is so fucking dumb.
This shit can't possibly attach itself to a host without the latter being fucking retarded.

>>213686615
I listened to the audio dramas first and then bought the books because I wanted them physical. River of Pain I thought was absolutely awful and I wouldn't recommend it either.

>>213686556
>corporations run everything
sounds like earth was made great again

I want cute protagonists
In Alien media
For the rest of my life

>>213686581
biblically accurate realistic space armpit stubble...

>>213686647
we got that here

the "Bear" alien is a fucking goober

>>213686703
So far I think he has the highest kill count out of any of the big Ayys.

>>213686680
why?

why the fuck would you want cute women in an alien movie. I want tough women like Ripley was.

>>213686768
I think I've had enough of tough female protagonists in movies for the next 20 years.

I'M JANGLING JACK
I GO DO DA DO
I WANNA RINKY DINK SPECIAL
I WANNA LITTLE UMBRELLA TOO

>>213686889
Sid is the key to this whole thing
If we can get him to work

>>213686829
you can have a tough woman who isnt a retarded girl boss

Alien:Isolation is the best Alien movie to come out since 3.

>>213686953
yes

>>213686474
EVERYONE?

>>213686918
>space jockeys are finally revealed
>the great ones who made the wonders and inspired the engineers
>they're all giant cartoon sloths like Sid

>Hey Vasquez, what's your favorite film
>Its Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006), streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu
Was this line in the original cut, or did Disney update the films?

>>213686474
Prometheus set the new standard

>>213687023
How long do you think you'll seethe over this?

>>213687023
What I don't get is why they chose that one. It was fucking awful. Why not go for the original?

>>213686829
You'll get them until you die anon. I suggest suicide.

>>213686619
You'll never be happy and that makes me smile.

>>213686619
Its interesting how little taste and talent exists in media productions. I don't even mean the cast, though the cast is included in this.

Its like almost every writer, director, and producer is incompetent.

>face your furry what?
holy fuarking KINO

>>213683508
puffy!

Alien + Ice Age is the best crossover Disney has done yet.

>>213687247
Cute.

>>213687247
This intro sequence is the only salvageable part of the show so far.

>>213687253
This is legit going to be the final alien species they encounter.

>>213687057
NTA but honestly Ice fucking Age being confirmed canon in the alien universe so a character could show her obsession with Sid the sloth is too funny to seethe at, I for one joke about it because I love it
Fuck, I think I may have to watch that sequel over the weekend even

>>213687125
Nah, he's right. Even covenant which people often mocked will have them admit (some of) the acting is good. Well, mainly Fassbender but I guess this show doesn't have the money to hire notable actors.

>>213686538
>after Resurrection, AvP, Prometheus and Covenant, lore continuity for the Alien series doesn't really seem important anymore.
So I guess we're not talking about how the Deacon from Prometheus turns into a living mountain.

>>213687378
This show is going to be less canon than AvP

>>213683299
The xenomorph in this is established to have fear-sense. It's literally drawn directly to fear. Doubt it's completely blind but the fact that it couldn't see the black cyborg when he was steeling his own fear after he said to the soldiers that it can sense fear long enough that it was then drawn to the soldiers to happened upon it (and screamed/opened fire). So, looks like it is either blind(ish) and can mostly see moving things and fear-emitting things.

>>213687378
The kino approach would have been to animate a fake scene from a fake in universe movie, could even be a parody of ice age, kinda like the cartoons on the tvs in max payne 2, but they went the lazy ipslop route and the canon is worse for it, but they must have saved a buck using something from disney's library

Disney couldn't put product placements in Star Wars, so prepare for Alien: Earth to be loaded with them

>>213686037
O genuinely really enjoyed the 1st 2 episodes but the whole French Dandy party thing was really stupid. I like Noah Hawleys work but there are times he needs to be told “No”.

What’s up with Mr. Tang staring at that girl? Is he human or an android?

>>213687610
It's going to be as canon as Prometheus and Covenant

>>213688067
>thinking a 1 season show will be canon
kek

>>213687466
Even the acting around Fassbender is great. I know people hate that scene where the woman slips on blood and fires a shotgun to the ceiling but that's one of the best depictions of a panic attack I've ever seen, Amy Seimetz acting is fucking great

>>213688094
Director said it's confirmed for 2. 3 if the reception is positive.

>>213687048
it was so fucking dumb lol.

Who curated the Rock Wins playlist?

>>213685021
What's weird about the whole "Engineers are mad about Jesus" is there is nothing really "Engineer-y" about Jesus's teachings. And equally, the reason why Jesus was killed was because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time (or right place right time, depending on your interpretation) when it came to a local nationalist movement. It wasn't like Jesus was killed because he said "love thy neighbor", the Pharisees thought the Romans would crush them if they revolted (and that's what happened later).

>>213688385
For that reason, I'm honestly glad the Jesus implication didn't make it into the final product.

>>213688433
It's very "gunshot fade to black" level of screenwriting.

>>213683751
Give Outland a shot, then. You might have to squint a little to get everything to fit with Alien but it's pretty much what you're looking for

I wonder if we'll see this guy, because of his relationship with FX

>>213688385
pretty sure the jesus shit is fanfic, although it is implied the engineers might have visited earth, with all the cavepaintings of starmaps.

>>213683277
Yeah it is. Potentially redeemable but the writing and direction so far don't give me much hope. Just watching it for the sets and not-Roy Batty desu.

>>213688535
No, it's not fanfic. That's been known about the original script since the movie's release. In fact, the version I heard was that Jesus WAS an Engineer. Like straight up.

>>213688515
>YO LIL XENO

Why did he do it?

>>213688960
he thought he was in The Thing

>>213688960
>cat has human eyeball

>>213688960
He had to get it in

>>213688960
ginger lips

Ice Age being canon makes no sense. In the original, computers were extremely primitive. How did they make animated shows?

>>213689042
judging by the pupil its not human or cat anymore

>>213689042
you're watching too much anime

>>213689042
Meow?

>>213689082
A wizard did it

>>213689125
Why are all these alien species so hostile?

>>213689182
WY wants bio weapons, it's kind of a theme

>>213689125
this was gratuitous and stupid

>>213689275
It told us all we needed to know about the eyeball ayy.
It's a good scene.

>>213689235
But why? It's too fucking risky

>>213689304
i don't want other aliens. this franchise is not about the many different lifeforms in our universe, it's about xenomorphs. this show is shit.

>>213689320
>But why?
Money.
>It's too fucking risky
They don't know that yet.
The retarded move is bringing back the specimens to Earth instead of a deep space lab.

>>213689337
I agree. One of the interesting things about Alien is how lonely it all felt. Space opera shit where every planet is some Star Wars world teeming with goofy fauna kills the atmosphere.

New one?
