I LIVE FOR THIS SHIT !

>>213703845 (OP)
I couldn't make it through the first episode. This scene, the transitioning of the kids, and the fly through the ship looked awful and was really hackey.
>have interesting scene concept
>technical craft is mediocre
>we could change how we shoot it
>nah, let's double down and put out a mediocre sequence
Truly a Disney product

>>213703845 (OP)
Can you put the title in the Subject or something? I'm waiting for the season to end to watch it all in one go and I'm trying to avoid spoilers

Assuming that that synth body weighs north of at least 100 lbs, the impact force generated from falling that far should have sunk her feet into the sand up to the ankles but no, no, here she just lightly bounces off the ground as if she fell from 10 feet up. *eyeroll*

>>213703845 (OP)
>Alien is now capeshit
BRAVO DISNEY

>>213703845 (OP)
There is not way this is real? Man I never going to watch this slop.

>>213703845 (OP)
....Alien?

>>213703845 (OP)
no fucking way

>>213704173
This is not even a spoiler, just a random shitty scene from a shitty series

>>213703845 (OP)
whats wrong with this

Alien is 46 years old. And the only reason why this shit is getting made is because of its modern day stature.

To put that in perspective, imagine watching something made in the 90s based off something from the 40s where they are completely incapable of capturing any part of the original's imaginative spark or improving on the ideas. Film and tv is dead.

They turned fall damage off?

>>213705001

>>213705052
It's because they are using and abusing it because its popular to sell their narrative propaganda.

>>213703845 (OP)
>she can only run fast off-screen

>>213704139
The fly through into the ship was very jarring, but I really liked the scene where the kids transitioned into their new bodies. At least its a director having a sense of style again, as opposed to art by committee "made for everyone"

>>213705001
It looks goofy. And That pan right along with the running is the kind of shot I would see in a comedy movie.

>>213703845 (OP)
It might be okay if there was like 1/2 of the kid robots, but with all of them there you know that none of them matter. Idk it’s a weird thing to depict anyway. Regardless they had a good idea imo regarding the premise of the show but it just doesn’t exactly feel like Alien outside of the beginning phase. Truly i was really excited when it got started but my interest rapidly degraded and I just don’t think il continue at least not until everything is out at once. I don’t want to linger on a show teetering on mediocre

>>213705390
I feel like there is more than enough story in the world, they didn't need to throw in the "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" angle as well. There was even some of that to explore already with the 2nd generation androids. Its place in the timeline also makes no sense, and they could have set it whenever they wanted. They deliberately chose to have it conflict with future events they'll have to retcon now.

>>213703845 (OP)
>transfer of consciousness now possible

>whats wrong with this
It's an extremely fake-looking effect.

>>213705001
Falling and hitting sand like that at that speed is like hitting water

>>213705001
if I was directing it, I'd do the jump from the girl's perspective. That distant shot just looks retarded, like cheap capeshit

>>213705390

The thing is, this shit isn't hard from a writing perspective.

The weird ghost in the shell robot kids are the "aliens" and that's the driving theme behind their characterisation, (i.e. the isolation of being terminally ill, being a weird kid, how being a robot does or does not change their insecurities)
The actual Aliens in the show need to represent something else entirely, like the disgusting and uncaring aspect of nature and how "adulthood" makes everything complicated.
You have to make the characters likeable and so the threat isn't SPOOKY MONSTER it's seeing innocent characters not suceed in their goals.
Maybe contrive a reason for the two character groups to meet that isn't fucking retarded (alien ship crashes into an isolated blacksite evil lab and alongside the aliens there's a plague that kills anything organic, robot kids need to leave)

Anyone can write this shit but they insist on weird batshit insane stuff instead.

that's not how physics works

>>213703845 (OP)
This could have been cool if she violently crashed to the ground and then got back up unhurt. Instead it's just boring sterile disney shit.

>>213703845 (OP)
Wait... I laughed at this earlier thinking this was from a shitty capeslop TV show.
It's from the new Alien show? I was just about to watch it after hearing good things about it.
How the hell did this scene make it into the show? If this is any indication of the overall quality, I don't think I'll be watching it.

>>213705001
The older woman should have backed away a bit and shielded her eyes, considering a heavy and potentially unpredictably behaving mass is about to land in front of her. The girl should have cushioned the landing more with her legs and body instead of just dropping down legs almost straight.
They may have thrown a dummy into the sand from that height and concluded that this is roughly how it would have looked. It's always possible that they did more research than we give them credit for. However, they didn't test it with the real thing because it doesn't exist. Therefore they should've done more to sell the illusion and made it more dramatic.

Why do all these modern TV shows look like they're trying to be really bad live action anime?

FUCKING GOOFY LOOKING BITCH

this a live action anime?

>>213707124
>>213707824
Yes

>>213703845 (OP)
LMAO

they keep raping this franchise

>>213706008
She could have even yelled back "step away please" Then landed making a small crater with sand flying out. An extra 5 seconds of thought, too much for these new writers.

>>213707619
I'd like to.

>>213703845 (OP)
wake up babe new >IM ACTING actress just dropped

>>213708163
like to what?

>>213705619
And don't forget they are black, so the (Netflix) story kind of writes itself.

>>213705716
Only if you have concrete under the sand. Because concrete is made using water, therefore the comparison.

>>213703845 (OP)
Did Romulus not set a precedent for good Alien content?
Romulus got made by someone who was clearly a fan of the franchise, Alien: Isolation in particular.
This looks like it was made by a board room of women and a hands on team of indians.

>>213708237
Fuck Goofy.

>>213704139
Holy shit it is Disney.
Well that fucking explains everything.

>>213703845 (OP)

thanks bollywood

>>213708542

it was paint-by-numbers corposlop that has all the staying power of a taco bell doordash order

>>213708637
No, Alien Earth is paint by numbers corposlop. You're insane.

>>213703845 (OP)
Funnier than Ripley playing basketball.

>>213708542
Yes

>>213708860
What about David playing basketball on a bicycle? Should the alien series be constantly raising the bar with increasingly elaborate basketball sight gags?

You guys are saying "Alien" ? As in the horror movies about the big black aliens with two mouths and eggs? I don't see how this webm is related at all

AYY LMAO

>>213703845 (OP)
How about synts colonial marines going rugue? And wiping out all aliens including Predators from the galaxy.

>>213705497
>They deliberately chose to have it conflict with future events they'll have to retcon now.
This is my biggest sticking point. People pretend the producers of the show care about the franchise just because they have the clunky computers and green text on a CRT screen but then they choose to set the show TWO WHOLE YEARS before Alien. Add in the fact that these dudes were out on their mission for decades, that means by the time Alien rolls around, they've known about the xenomorph for decades at that point which cheapens the first movie.

>>213708542
>Did Romulus not set a precedent for good Alien content?
>Romulus got made by someone who was clearly a fan of the franchise, Alien:
Romulus blows because its just Alien but shittier and terrible callbacks. Not to mention validating Prometheus with the black goo bullshit. Fuck Romulus.

COMING IN HOT

>>213705619
it's all so tiresome

>>transfer of consciousness now possible
retard, theyre just copy and pasting. its not a transfer.

>>213703845 (OP)
>s-she's fast

>>213711389
Were the kid's bodies not dead after the transfer? Regardless, it would play out the same.

>>213708542
>Hybrid plot, again
>Android plot, again
>Not Ripley, again

>CGI facehuggers in over the top swarm scenes no human could have ever survived

>>213708542
>Did Romulus not set a precedent for good Alien content?
No. No it didn't. It follows the exact same Disney formula as Earth except with fewer original ideas.

>>213711441
>Were the kid's bodies not dead after the transfer?
Yes. That will be the twist. They kill the original so there are not the OG and copy running around. That will shatter the illusion.
>Regardless, it would play out the same.
If I copied you into a different body but killed (you), you would cease to exist. That other person would go on but (you) wouldn't.

>>213711441
>It's Somashit
Oh god, it's even worse than another shitty prequel redoing the same shit weve already seen, it's a shitty prequel introducing bullshit that has literally never mattered once ever in Alien

>>213705001
she would either bounce back up a little or disperse a fuckload of sand into the air on impact

>>213711324
He tanked that

>>213711569
for some reason this generation of writers think the "where does a human mind end and a computer begin" question to be the most philosophical and deep one you can ask. So they'll shoehorn that shit in wherever they can. You can't have a sci-fi without it anymore, even one with more than enough story to tell like Alien.

>>213705324
The run is the worst part, reminds me of Kung Pow

What is the show name?

>>213712068
Alien Earth, it's shit for now, and I doubt it will get better.

>>213705052
Like Dick Tracy?

>>213712453
Dick Tracy was kind of cool. I had an action figure with cement shoes.

The Phantom too.

>>213703845 (OP)
I'll be honest I assumed this was like a dream or something I guess my brain was trying to defend itself from the stupidity

>>213711324
Actually impressive

>>213704298
She has super good suspension in her legs bro

>>213711535
>Yes. That will be the twist
You guys are coping so hard with this shit. It's not going to happen. Their consciousness is transferred, not cloned. Stop coping.

>>213703845 (OP)

>>213713377
How's the suspension on her ass cheeks?

>>213711324
Hitting water from that height is like hitting sand

>>213713645
it's not like hitting the sand, he literally did hit the sand

>>213713803
Were you there?
No? Then shut the fuck up!

>>213703845 (OP)
>already gorier with a bigger killcount and more alien+xenomorph action than most of the movie franchise in 2 episodes
apologize

>>213713853
Gore was never what made the Alien series interesting. It already had plenty of blood and brutal kill scenes but the show doesn't really capture the true Xenosthetic

Do these synthetic bodies have functioning genitals and breedable wombs? Surely the trillionaire kid would have thought of that

>>213705001
The composition of the mountain pan and the jump doesn't match and looks wrong, the soft sand hitting, the cheap camera turn and running

>>213705162
>Infinity War was grade-A adventure kino juggling a shitload of separate character groups and making it look easy, while adding a compelling antagonist with high stakes where plot armor was ineffective
>Endgame was a bloated mess with no stakes, no impact, forced melodrama, and the shittiest time-travel asspull I'd seen in years
What the fuck went wrong?

>>213713848
wait you think you're hot shit just because you know what it feels like to hit water from that height? try hitting it from a bridge then we'll talk
hint : it doesn't feel like hitting sand

>>213714059
Because it had to have a happy ending. Infinity War was good because Thanos was actually allowed to use his power level.

>>213714130
It ran deeper than that. You can make a movie have a happy ending and also make it real fuckin good, and they just goddamn failed in the dumbest way imaginable.

>Tool starts playing

>>213708542
romulus sucks donkey balls

>>213714130
Thanos had the reality stone for most of the movie. At no point should anyone have remotely been a threat to him, especially when his base self could beat Hulk.

>>213714884
Nerfing Hulk overall was a huge detriment to both films. It was fine for IF because if you hadn't seen Endgame you were expecting they'd bust out the best form of Hulk for the end. Instead we got a basedboy reluctantly tapping on a car. It was fucking embarrassing.

>>213704173
do you just filter out anything with the name you're trying to avoid in the subject field? I've been thinking of doing that as well but feel like I would miss out on stuff if the name could be in other thread names.

>>213708542
I liked Romulus, well better than Prometheus and Covenant at least.
This is a TV series so I was expecting some level of drop in VFX but yeah it's almost like they are actively going for the laughs.

>>213714079
nigger just throw a knife in front of you to break surface tension and you'll be fine.

>>213714544
that felt really out of place

>>213713990
they can't grow so probably not. They don't eat either, I'm assuming they're just robots.

>>213703845 (OP)
>goes from white girl to chinese man for 5 seconds

What kind of experimental robot tech is this?

>>213705305
Oh, I noticed that. Shw clai.s they can move superfast, but we never see it, it just cuts into another scene where she already walks slowly.

>>213705390
>if there was like 1/2 of the kid robots
Bruh those fucking child robots are the biggest mistake they made. Second episode is so badly paced that you will notice how unintentionally funny those robots are. With such a bad group of actors they never feel like children in adult robotic body, they feel like Down Syndrome patients.
What kind of retard sends a child of extraction misdion, when that child most likely don't even know what extraction means.

>>213715231
just like me when leaving during daylight

>>213703845 (OP)
>tv show looks like tv show

>>213705857
Thing is I feel almost sorry for xenomorph. They introduce basically immortal supersoldier synthetics PLUS weapon platform cyborgs, and here we have our lovely bug, who is now hillariously outmatched, crashlanding on Earth while being basically exclusively outer space threat.

>guy says he has a low sperm count
>in the year 2120
>children with incurable cancer or whatever
>in the year 2120
>the same year where tech for cool cyborg flesh warping biopowers and literal full blown synthetic people that look 100% real + full consciousness transfer is already available
For me it's The Expanse where genetics feels less advanced than where we are today despite literally 300+ years into the future
