Weyland-Yutani Edition

>>213781312 (OP)
is this show canon?

>>213781312 (OP)
I predict Alien Earth will have the same general feel as the Fallout show. Bug eyes protagonist with crazy plot armor, decent aesthetics but absolutely brain dead story line.

>>213781400
No.

>>213781400
no, prequels or sidequels are never canon

absolute cinema moment

>>213782525
>the same general feel as the Fallout show

The Fallout show is a comedy, bro. Crazy your autistic ass missed that.

How do you come from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wmI-7QVlCw

I hated Alien 3 and Covenant with a passion. I liked Prometheus. Both Romulus/Resurrection and most AvP films were dumb and boring. First AvP wasn't bad. Aliens is my favorite movie of all time. Never really liked Alien that much.

Knowing all that. Will I like this show?

finished first 2 episodes pretty inane and nonsensical. the alien grabbing the guy and flying off was hilariously bad

>>213782656
i don’t think Alien is for you
so yes

>>213782703
Thanks

I expected it to be a woke dystopia show and I was right.
Cast filled with global majority, white women, women without breasts, ugly haircuts, dry uninteresting scenes.
Guess it's okay to keep in the background while I do something else.
Hopefully there are many deaths.

>>213781312 (OP)
Watching the series reminded me of playing the old AvP more than twenty years ago... playing with the xenomorphs was so confusing with the up-down perception.

The Maginot was in space for 65 years. That means they launched in 2055. How could it be a WY mission if the merger only happened in the 2090s?

>>213782785
can't tell if crappy bot or just retarded

The Romulus movie was good until the aliens got on the screen. Let's sneak past a room full of face walkers, guys...lol lmao!

I liked the plot of indentured servitude to the megacorp. They didn't even get a bonus situation! So I'm hoping this show is more this second part than dumb rehashing from previous Alien movies, like Romulus ended up being.

>>213782862
Well, they can't fill every episode with Alien action. I think the pilot eps had a lot of it because execs demanded an Alien show to better have lots of creature horror and gore in its first episodes. I expect the next episodes to be more talky so we'll get more world building.

>>213782933
>I expect the next episodes to be more talky so we'll get more world building.
We better hear about the caseless ammunition.

Can't wait to hatewatch the new episodes

>>213781312 (OP)
Official timeline

>>213782785
I expected it to be a woke dystopia show and I was also right. What I was NOT expecting was Ice Age 4 references, autistic 12 year old children obsessed with peter pan being uploaded to cyborgs, skyrim weapon holsters, or moonwalking xenomorphs. I was not expecting, nor asked for any of this, yet I am enjoying this burning shitshow of a circus more than I have enjoyed anything in a long time

>>213783135
I think they chose to have android bodies for the main characters because they will cover the entire timeframe to Resurrection. The final scene will be Clone-Ripley coming back to Earth and we will know why it looks like complete shit.

>>213783135
Where is Ice Age 4 on this list?

>>213781400
Only the first film is canon.

>>213782977
>caseless ammunition
>gun still has an ejection port

fookin WeyYu cuntz

>>213783135
Where is Isolation?

>>213783310
2137.

It's pretty good, it doesn't build up a lot of suspense since most people know what a Xenomorth is, it also doesn't take things seriously, which to be honest is a huge drag in most of the Alien series. The idea of sticking sick kids minds into robots and sending them into an emergency to get emotional feedback is absolutely insane and I love it.

You have to pay attention and read into the characters involved. It's doing a ton of world building that the Alien Series desparately needs. It also pulls off a lot of previous movies and comics lore involving cults, psychic powers, and just fucking with life in general.

It's really good.

>>213783310
Alien Isolation is canon since it was pretty well done.

>>213783290
>tries to be a smartass
>is dumb

>>213783290
>I'll take What Is Clearing A Jam for 500 Alex

I like it a lot.
It has a ethereal eerie quality that the original Alien movie had but none of the franchise movies since.

The only thing I dislike is the Prodigy leader, who is just acting too tropey and cringy and is taking way too much screentime.

>>213783481
I think she is a really good character, because she hasn't figured out she has died yet and that they just copied her mind, would be cool if one of the kids survived afterwards and came back all fucked up.

>>213783513
she is not the prodigy leader

>>213783513
I'm talking about the trillionaire prodigy ceo/leader nerd.

>>213783557
He's basically the tech bro sterotype.

>>213782862
>The Romulus movie was good until the aliens got on the screen. Let's sneak past a room full of face walkers, guys...lol lmao!
Nah. It's been great visual wise and Andy actor actually did a great job, but story barely holds together.

>>213783611
>>213783611
Romulus was pretty terrible. There is certain points where Andy could have just left them all to die.

I actually just watched it today, and it's pretty cliche

>>213783666
Still cant believe they ddint saw the Alien body hanging from the ceiling

>>213783800
Yeah, it was kind of hanging like a kite, but maybe it was just feeding into the trope that people never look up, the jerk guy almost fell into space or something, so everyone definitely looked down right below it lol

>>213783481
>ethereal
I think it's that three note trumpet cue.

>>213783800
Tbh It's one of the smallest plot-holes in Romulus
>WY colony doesn't pick SOS signal from WY station
>Ash doesn't try to manipulate zoomers to call for WY or deliever black goo/facehugger/zenomorph to the colony
>Chestbusters now forming within hour

>>213782656
First ep is boring as fuck and it's heavy on 79' nostalgia like Romulus/Isolation. Maybe that's some people's thing but I'd rather have new art styles pivot around the Giger stuff rather than just doing the same Nostromo thing all the time.

>>213783987
That whole station just flew over the entire colony and only the kids noticed.

Nobody questioned why a ship just flew out of a mining slave camp.

But it was kind of funny as shit when the science synth points a light at the alien.

>>213783949

That but also the slow fades and lingering shots.

>>213783513
>So desperate to insert his headcanon into yet another Alien thread he talks about the wrong character

>>213784522
It's kinda crazy this dude's been at it for like what, a week now?

good things
>world building
>action
>concepts
>acting and cast
>atmosphere
>pacing
especially the pacing I like. they could have prolonged and mystery boxed the fuck out of the synthetics and what was going on etc etc.

bad things
>characters
not all but the prodigy ceo and also yutani were kinda cringe desu
>the alien one shots everyone but somehow cant one shot the medic because he is main character
idk, that was kinda dumb

>>213781312 (OP)
My thing is isnt Blade Runner Replicants overcome the just tech and were basically made biologically? From desighned parts? Why they try to force WY synths into it if its different tech altogether?

Also i take would be to make a conflict between Robot(with human mind), Cyborg and Artificial evolution or Mutants.

Then we could have old corpos using Robot/ cyborgs and new corporation going the genetic way thats why they called Prodigy and shit. That makes genetic freaks from retarded dying kids. Making them tough strong fast etc. We can even add some mind powers to it too. (basically ripley from alien 4 as someone suggested before)

So when WY crush this ship the new corporation could become really interested in new aliens to use them in their experiments.

>>213784706
the factions are:

normal humans
alien life
synths (pure robots)
synthetics (human mind in robot body)

>>213784573
This website is full of people like that

>>213784778
thats not what they wrote in the show bro.

>>213784778
don’t forget
the druids
the mexican mafia
and the means

>>213784778
ALien is there just so they cna use the name it will never be a faction in the show.
And there is no Human faction becasue there is no one to represent them that arent just work for a faction from Synth or Hybrids

>>213784874
Well, Idk, because the Black Goo has always made some super fucked up shit, so it's kind of surprising the entire galaxy isn't just filled with ass rape aliens.

>>213784778
>>213784874
The factions are Synths, Cyborgs, Hybrids.
WY has a synth in the creeper bot and a cyborg robot hand
Prodigy has a synth Bullock and hybrids

Seems less like factions and more the ways to get immortal.

>>213785045
There is definitely rogue synths and a few pro alien cults will likely show up in the show like the comics.

I have the feeling Hawley developed a show about Ghost in the Shell mind-upload cyborgs and then he got a call to make the new Alien show and he thought WOW, free money to make my show, I just need to put some Aliens and creature horror into it

>>213785133
I hope not.
Halo felt like a skin and soundpack slapped on another idea and sucked for it

how many hours until the next episode where nothing happens

Please stop wanting to talk about this back alley abortion of a show.

>>213785133
You could easily see things the other way around in this case.
>got the call to make an Alien tv show! >but there's already some much content and lore in this ip, what can I add that's fresh and intriguing?
So far I'm glad it's not again about a crew trying to survive the xeno inside a spaceship.

>>213785230
What would be a good alien show to you?

>>213782933
maybe it SHOULDN'T BE A GOOD DAMNED TV SERIES THEN

>>213783406
This is the worst fucking thing I've ever read.

I'm tired of synthetics.

>>213785266
Nothing. The franchise should have stopped a long time ago. The xenomorph is effective only when less is known about it. After that it's all wank.

>>213784065
>no one detects giant metal object in space in an age where there's space travel and no doubt space traffic controllers
Running theme in nuAlien.

>>213785873
Maybe Weyland Yutani did but said
>HAHA, it will crash right into these Prodigy punks. Nope, not gonna warn them.
Or Prodigy did and went
>Wait, a research vessel filled with cool corporate secrets will crash in our territory? Keep it under wraps, we will snatch it right then and there!

>>213782785
>I expected it to be a woke dystopia show and I was right.

>Sci-fi setting in the near future
>Brownoids and queers everywhere
>The setting is also presented as a bleak dystopia

Isn't that accidentally based ? Cyberpunk did it too

>Zoomers keep saying Adam Driver

Anyway what did you guys think of his story? Is it kino material? for the big screens or just as a TV series?

https://youtu.be/-latIFZ6xyA?t=1333

come on do something

>>213785975
Maybe, but there's been no evidence or indication that's the case, so I have to default to the flimsy logic being an idiotic mess for convenience because the writers are borderline retarded.

>>213782792
AVP1 Alien campaign is the hardest thing in the entire AVP series since even on easy mode anything can 2 shot kill you.
The marine is balanced difficulty wise
The Predator is easymode.


AVP2 is free , doesn't need a Steam account like AVP1 & AVP2010 everyone refuses to call the latter AVP3 which is ironic since Trilogy, AVP1, AVP2010 were all made by Rebellion.
https://avpunknown.com/avp2aio/

>>213786110
Nice, gonna play it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6_2ZGBZ0ZE

>>213786523
>wait, what do you mean "foreign"?
>xeno

>>213785045
So how WY can have two factions (Synths, Cyborgs). Prodigy also has Two factions (Synths, Hybrids).

Even if you think a litle Hybrids is just sane faction as Synths. Same for Cyborgs.

>>213786783
my poin is none of this factions oppose each other, so only conflict would be take up from writers asholes.

I have been trying to get through the first episode for three days it is so fucking boring.

>>213781400
yeah

>>213783611
It holds together fine, it's a simple story.

>>213787106
>>213781400
Nothing beyond Alien 1979 is canon.

>>213784582
I have my world building and concepts and atmosphere right here.

Where does the new Predator film fit in the timeline?

>>213782525
Honestly this show makes my head hurt because I swear somehow every female character in it resembles the chick from Fallout, and how/why the fuck did that happen

There are scenes where it's literally the girl who looks like the Fallout girl talking to another girl who also looks like the Fallout girl

>>213787419
I get what you mean but I think British zoomer women just look like that

Excuse me while I watch the real Alien and the real Prometheus:

The kids were acting more mature when they were in their sickly dying bodies than after they got discombobulated into machine ones

>>213783406
Reddit is two blocks down.

>>213787457
>The real prometheus

>>213787624
Ironically Killy talks more in the manga than in the Netflix movie that's kinda badly paced and only borrows 1 on-going story out of 6 from the manga.

>>213787470
Ads are for bots to click on. Are you a bot?

>>213781312 (OP)
Have they explained where the other alien lifeforms came from? Are they the same ones from Prometheus?

>>213782804
occasionally stopped off at W-Y colonies and space ports for supplies and fuel?

>>213787778
That's what's interesting me most about the show, except Tim

>The real Prometheus BEAR EDITION

>>213787778
not specific planets or anything, but the trailers had that line about "the darkest corners of the galaxy" or whatever, so probably all over the place.
the capital-A Alien and eggs are supposedly from LV-426 though, so I guess the Maginot crew found the derelict first.

I'm excited that we're actually seeing other aliens.

>collecting alien critters and bringing them directly to Earth instead of a remote space station for quarantine

>>213787872
>>213787778
The other aliens are the best thing about the show. Having just the Xeno would be boring.

>>213787910
I don't care if they remove all this shit from canon. It's just nice that someone is trying something.

>>213787890
Impact with earth was unavoidable lightyears away, nothing they could do

>>213787929
I say that, but Scream 6 killed that franchise for me

The bloodsuckers are meh
Eyeball is a fun little dude
Other ones havent really done anything
Xeno isnt alone but still has been the highlight thus far

>>213788026
a core component of alien that most people don't realize is that it has new shit with new rules that we discover over the course of watching the movie. as much as people bemoan prometheus and covenant it gets this right and it's suspenseful because of it.
if you're going to use something that the audience already knows the rules to then you may as well just use zombies and call it something else because it's not alien.

>>213787379
Romulus is after Alien and befoe Aliens and this shit is before Alien and after Covenant

>>213788272
>you may as well just use zombies and call it something else because it's not alien.
thats literally what prometheus done but for you its somehow different

>>213788371
... Predator film

>>213782525
I'm okay with that as long as it has the weird pregnancy stuff from the Fallout show also

>>213783240
and isolation

>>213784065
The movie explained that the kids only found it since they were on a mission already in space above the atmosphere that was blocking their sensors. The colony basically functions in the dark from the outside world.

>>213788522
Xenomorphs have buttholes?

>>213782611

AE is a comedy too though.

>>213788431
there was a bunch of new stuff like the urn scene or what's her face giving birth to an octopus. you also didn't know what has going to happen to other guy when david artificially infected him. the entire movie was discovery. which does not describe the walking dead, or like one of the shitty alien video games where nothing interesting happens.

>>213788015
I wish I still had my old mcfarlane alien toys, they were cool as fuck

>>213782785
would you prefer that it was a trad dystopia, retard?

>>213787379
>>213788489
nobody knows, unless this is a date, in which case it's probably either 2178 or 2278. not sure if the white pulse pistol (?) is supposed to suggest prototype (like in Romulus) or "more futuristic" like the later seasons of Star Trek: Discovery, except it doesn't have any floating/glowing parts.

>>213788637
not as cool as the Kenner ones
this little nigga ruled. if you put his head in water and squeezed it, then let go, he'd slurp up the water, then you could squeeze the head to make him spit it like acid

QRD?

how does alien blood eats metal but doesn't kill aliens

>>213789148
How does your stomach acid break down food you eat but not your stomach?

>>213783393

>>213789148
Alien blood melts shit so aggressively that it would actually make most materials randomly combust. Aliens being immune to it is no more magical than the acid itself.

>>213789137
Main girls magnetic back holding her paper cutter katana

>>213787379
Killer of Killers' final scene leaves the time it happens pretty ambiguous so it could go anywhere really

>>213789177
stomach acid doesn't melt the floor

First episode had me intrigued, the second one almost killed that for me. It's just weird enough to keep me from dropping it but the writing and TV cheap feel it has are really grating me. The sets suck and dialogue suck in particular

>>213787457
Blame! is the true Alien kino and most likely how xenomorphs were made.

>>213789219
Live-action TV Shows always had bad dialogue and abysmal actors. Ironically Animated TV Shows have infinitely better dialogue and pacing... when it isn't a TV Show based off an existing movie.

>every faggot seething itt will watch every episode asap

>>213781312 (OP)
They should really change the name and slogan to "Waifu-Yutani Corp: Building Better Girls"

>>213789003
>>213789206
Wait is the new Predator film connected to Alien? Are Preds finally """""canon"""""?

Hey dumb question but it's abruptly occurred to me out of nowhere

Why ARE most movie guns made out of actual real guns? Star Wars, Alien, Terminator, Blade Runner, they all took actual firearms (in Star Wars' case, ones that were possibly actually used to kill people in WW2) and then slapped weird plastic shells and widgets on them to make toys out of them for use onscreen

Why not just make a whole fictional gun?

>>213789393
Because if you want the best authentic firing action you need to use blanks, which requires a real functioning firearm.

I wanted more of the Maginot, especially outside shots. Spaceships are one of my favourite things in Alien.

>>213782792
The way the alien now rips people to shreds in 3 seconds instantly brought me back to AVP2 as well
>>213787910
Eyeball monster was cool but the design was too cartoony and lazy

>>213789356
Weyland-Yutani is in it, and apparently all the "human" characters are synths. No word on xenomorphs, but 99% chance the ending has an AvP sequel hook.
Elle Fanning's eyes roll back and have a W-Y logo like Andy from Romulus.

>>213789739
looks retarded

>>213789754
there's also a super powerloader at some point, and in one shot the main Predator character is firing a pistol-sized version of the Romulus pulse rifles.

>>213789739
>Weyland Yutani was outcompeted by fucking walmart
Lmao

>>213787419
sounds heavenly

>>213789765
How about this

>>213789788
makes perfect sense lol

>>213789780
>super powerloader
and it's throwing punches lmao

>>213789816
that's worse, literally a pile of shit thrown together without rhyme or reason

>>213789611
they were giving these out at comicon and apparently if you want to fork over $64 + tax and S&H they're on sale from letterpressplay. no idea if they're official or just a scan of the ones from Comicon, but they claim to be "made in collaboration with FX and the Alien franchise and are signed by Alien: Earth creator Noah Hawley"

>>213789393
>Why not just make a whole fictional gun?
Because gunsmithing is incredibly time consuming and expensive, of course not so expensive it would break budgets but no shareholder/producer wants to do that these days

>now add sid the sloth

>>213789260
Granny viking was shite but the ninja/samurai stuff after was good enough I feel it made up for it.
Pilot predator was also cool even if I feel it doesnt quite feel predator-y since it was basically a yautja with a fuckoff advanced ship toying with world war ships. But one can just chalk up to him being from a clan that doesnt care about the whole stalking and close quarters combat usual yautja go for I guess.

>>213789883
Wtf was that editing? Seriously why was Sid's face just floating on top of 45% of the shot set to 16.36% opacity?

I'm gonna say it. Prey didn't earn its kill.

>>213789875
Neat! I like the design a lot.

>>213789875
>blood in the corner

>>213789285
I'm not seething but I'm not going to bother watching til it's all out because I will want to watch every episode

>>213789909
never seen Fargo or Legion? Hawley loves his slow crossfades, almost as much as he loves suddenly dropping a cartoon or dance-off into an episode.

>>213789937
I like how the front section makes it look like the Nostromo had a baby with some of the early concepts for the Nostromo. makes me wonder how much unused material might show up in the TV show, though I guess Prometheus already did the pyramid.

>>213789057
i had this guy as a kid and also the red bull/runner type with the spring action neck that would let you ram pop it's head forward and headbutt other toys + i also had a large black queen alien but i'm not sure if it was from the same line or not, i wanna say it was a different line of toys
sometimes i wish i had been able to keep more of my childhood toys, gave a bunch away to younger cousins and some got damaged over the years
i was a late bloomer so i only moved out of my family house at 35 and now live in a tiny studio, at this point i'm ultimately glad i didn't have a ton of stuff to carry with me on the move but at the same time i sometimes still wish i had a few more things from when i was younger. basically everything i own fits in two trips with my pickup or my pickup and a small moving trailer and most of it is essentials like cooking ware and bathroom stuff, clothes, my tool collection from over the years, some books and my pc setup and some electronics like my tv and a few older consoles i've still got
downsizing feels both great and heartbreaking at the same time

>>213790092
I read somewhere that they used a lot of original material thanks to Ridley. Dunno exactly what.

>Vanity Fair's article also revealed some other miscellaneous details about the Maginot in Alien: Earth. For instance, we know that the Maginot is considered "state-of-the-art" and is much more technologically advanced than the Nostromo was. The Nostromo was described as a cargo ship, while the Maginot is a scientific research vessel.

>While the Maginot is more advanced than the Nostromo, the ships also bear a striking resemblance.

>the spaceship featured in the "Alien: Earth" series, draws significant inspiration from the Nostromo, the iconic spaceship from the original "Alien" film. Production design on "Alien: Earth" closely mirrored the Nostromo's labyrinthine corridors, cramped compartments, and command center, even utilizing archived drawings and some original set pieces from the 1979 film. The goal was to evoke the same sense of claustrophobia and tension experienced by the Nostromo's crew, while also incorporating nods to the Nostromo's engine details and sound design

I actually just watched Episode 1 and it was good. I am surprised. Now i go out of this thread to watch Episode 2 without getting spoilers. Cheers lads!

>>213790193
this was the original Queen, they also had one with wings.
had the Bull Alien and the Scorpion (press a button on his back to explode him). somewhere I've got an AvP two-pack that I think was the original version of each (1979 Alien, 1987 Predator), but this is all "dig out of a box" stuff if I want to have them lurking around.
plus a bunch of the human characters that didn't look anything like the movie versions except maybe the Vasquez one. Ripley, Drake, Hicks and Apone, plus the goofy "guy wearing an Alien Queen costume" that was just for the toy line and maybe some comics. and the "Stinger" vehicle, very GI Joe style. Drake and Vasquez had the most movie-accurate guns (although they gave Vasquez a pulse rifle instead of a smartgun like Drake)

Those little rubber facehuggers ruled. I loved putting them on any and every action figure whose face they fit on.

>>213790431
Enjoy anon
>>213781312 (OP)
is there an OG xeno(full body)?
or are the facehuggers their basic form and the xeno is their evolved parasitical form?

this show is dog shit

>>213790616
only a cat so far

shit that is the one i had!, super cool
looking at the list of toys now, i also had the ATAX which was a human with robo-xeno armor and the electronic hovertread tank thing - so many cool toys

already saw the xenomorph too many times

>>213789148
its biomechanical properties are kind of the whole thing of the creature

>>213787457
blame was clearly ripping off giger though

>>213790712
Also why the "I am not your friend" dude can easily handle an alien while everybody shat their pants in 6 (romulus aside because andy was a retard) films

>>213790685
also I kind of wonder if Morrow's arm is somewhat inspired by the Kenner version of Sergeant Apone. if he starts chucking giant rubber grenades around...

>>213790842
>no bugs

>>213790790
>why the "I am not your friend" dude can easily handle an alien
Its like he said, aliens go for those who are afraid
Also hes a cyborg

>>213790712
>>213790790
watch the show before you post here

>>213790775
>blame was clearly ripping off giger though
And Hellraiser and Moebius, but especially James Herbert The City. Read the last one if you're a fan of Blame.

>>213790965
>It can't hurt you if you aren't afraid of it
This is so lame

>>213790965
>Its like he said, aliens go for those who are afraid
kek, tv shows are for complete retards

I can't read weeb stuff,, but the Blame movie was awesome. Wish they had explored more of the vastness of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYHfO7nBzq0

>>213782792
A new one could be so great since we now have Engineers, trilobytes, Androids, etc...

>>213791087
Yep live-action TV Show writers & directors are a special kind of autism much more inferior and mentally retarded compared to cartoon writers and directors.

They honestly should be studied by psychiatrists.

Same for video game writers which ironically write better than TV Show writers.

>>213782862
Romulus was only interesting in the intro when they were in the mining colony. From the moment they get to the station, it was entirely just a zoomer Scooby Doo gang speedrunning the entire Alien franchise.

>>213791010
seriously?
>>213790965
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzKElcLGTBc

>>213790965
>>213791030
>>213791087
its possible he simply got facehugged at some point, the scene where it doesn't attack him is similar to the ripley one in alien 3

>>213791191
I would watch 5 seasons of 24 episodes in the mining colony

>>213791087
>>213791185
>>213790965
The alien was going to fucking kill him (with the vague hope that he might get one good stab in on it before it yeeted him) and it only stopped because literally that second much more appealing prey than him stumbled into the room

And the series has played a lot with how much aliens can even "see" robots; like Bishop being utterly ignored until he gets ripped in half at the last scene because he's physically standing between the Queen and Ripley. I know Morrow isn't 100% robot but this also seemed to be confusing the alien "what the fuck even is this dude"

The Alien franchise desperately needs its own Andor, a show where the main IP stuff(Jedis in SW and the xeno in Alien) plays no part.

>>213791264
he moist

>>213791286
>the alien franchise needs to get rid of aliens

>>213791286
>>213791305
>we should get rid of the water in the ocean to help the fish

>>213791305
Yes.

I was disappointed from the 1st movie that The Alien didn't make this sound. I think hisses and groans are lame.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzAzxuWqDGI&ab_channel=Ripley

>>213791286
the xeno is clearly less central in this show though. must be the dumbest complaint so far.

>>213791286
Andor is dogshit.

>>213791264
If he is Captain Hook and the Xeno the crocodile, did he lose his hand to it or another Xeno while collecting samples? Maybe he got the cyborg hand during the mission?

>>213791305
It does. Prometheus is only interesting Alien films since Alien. It has its flaws, but at least it is interesting.


But you could keep the Xenos in. Just do something than yet another Jurassic Park outbreak. A xeno research station where they never break out would be more interesting. Make the plot center around the scientists, corporate espionage, attempting to understand the unknowable, and the ethics of bioweapons.

>>213791264
the comics go more into this stuff, some synths will still get attacked in hives or when the get in the way so collars were developed to make them "invisible" to the aliens but also labyrinth has the whole "fear" thing were they can sense fear but also people who are in a rage or drugged can sorta weird the alien out by not being afraid of them - in one part a test subject stops an alien by yelling at it, preventing it from killing another test subject and later on a female marine basically is so enraged at a doctor the alien boosts her out og a pit so she can smash his face in

>>213791372
There was nothing interesting in Prometheus, it was terrible and shat all over the lore.

>>213791373
>a test subject stops an alien by yelling at it
Everything after the first film was a mistake

>>213791373
They books take it further than "fear". The xenos are psychic. They can read thoughts and sometimes even communicate via thoughts. This makes some people more interesting to them than others. They "see" androids, they just find them rather boring since they have no readable thoughts.

>>213791392
I agree it was good

>>213791373
>>213791405
was the yelling test subject a woman

>>213791419
>wow this guy had a really interesting thought, I'm still going to stab him through the back with my tail and tongue punch his brain case
what fucking dickheads

>>213791264
>>213791373
I was wondering how canon this shit is and then I remembered that in fucking Covenant the ayys refuse to ever aggro David and the stupid fucking babby one even seems to actually like him, the only "friendly" interaction a xeno ever has with anyone outside of Resurrection

>shitting on Prometheus

We don't do that here kek. It's a great movie. Deal with it.

>>213791354
The xeno is alright in Alien Earth so far, but the synth/borg/hybrid plot is really disjointed from the alien invasion. As the show goes on, they'll have to make up stupid reasons to keep showing the xenomorph.

>>213791447
It's ok. I won't call it great.

>>213791286
What we really need is a phillip k dick series of loosely connected adaptations, unfortunately that electric dreams show was dogshit

When I was a kid I wondered how Bishop survived this, the dumbest and most suicidal thing anyone ever does in any Alien movie; which is a high godamn bar; and he's just fine

>>213791488
because he is based

>>213791419
i remember that from earth war a bit, people also had all sorts of weird dreams about them like the alien coming out of a guy's tv or the dude who was facehugged dreaming he escaped from a research facility with his GF who turned out to be a xeno

>Mogs most of the films and every other Alien book
>Cover is a generic render bought off Fiverr
>Written by a non-binary soiboy
How?

>>213791451
there are a lot of directions they can take it, i dont expect to have my mind blown but there is already a lot of stuff going on in the first 2 episodes, morrow not being attacked could mean sometihng, wendy hearing xenomorph calls aswell, the other organisms being there aswell. there could be a timeskip where they are/have been experimenting with things once they take them back to containment.
mayb morrow is implanted and spawns a cyborg-xeno.

>>213791426
no the test subjects were both dudes, one drugged up to not be afraid and the other was normal who didn't want to get eaten, i have the comic and the paperback and i believe it was the same in both versions - the marine at the end who the xeno sorta helps is a woman but she ultimately doesn't get what she wants and the company/marines deal with her

>>213791443
David is different, he spent years studying aliens and was able to pacify a Neomorph.

While we're doing stupid comic bullshit, the ultimate appeal to the 13-year-old's psyche is the giganigga android that can just fucking manhandle xenos
And aside from that obviously being a retarded fanservice idea from a storytelling perspective, in-universe it still crosses my mind "Why couldn't Weyland-Yutani build something like him?"
There's nothing about him that suggests he's beyond their incredible technology abilities
the last time we see him he's singlehandedly holding off an entire hive so the heroes can escape and they imply he gets overwhelmed but you could just as easily suppose he eventually killed all of them

I read like 85% of all the Alien comics 4 years ago or so online but since then I've been wondering of getting all the comics, actually on my PC, is there a place?
I mean I wouldn't mind buying physically them but the omnibus releases are ancient and no place here has them on sale anymore.
Getting comics is such a pain in the ass.

Brilliant, make it canon asap

I couldn’t really take any of this seriously, but I hard checked-out when the robot girl slung a katana across her back. What was that about?

>>213791691
it's the robot xeno IIRC named jeri
https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Jeri
dea the big robo guy sometimes mistakes jeri for an actual xeno and it causes some tense but also hilarious moments where jeri has to tell dean he's not a xeno before he got atomized or crushed
the easiest way is for jeri to talk since dean knows xenos can't talk

>>213791651
This was schlock but I also loved it
>the drama in that final showdown is that he's such an old fashioned retard robot that he can't actually help them until someone orders him to
Shades of Dick You're Fired from Robocop

>>213791690
the show is obviously just as much about the various human cybernetics, more so than the previous alien movies that also all had that element. what else did you want from the xenomorph in this show?
>>when the xeno is the defacto antag on a rampage
morrow is also an antagonist, so are the other aliens even if they haven't been attacking yet, plus there are corporate enemies that haven't made moves yet. the trailers show way more stuff going on later with the aliens on the island.
>>ticks only got 2 soldier by sheer luck since they were tied up
you don't know what it does yet, same as the plant-like one.

Labyrinth.
>>213791567
Towards the end there's the part where she gets so pissed off the Alien just kind of stands there and gets electrocuted while she jumps out of the test pit and starts whaling on the scientist.

>>213791776
She'll probably use it in the next episode when she goes to save her brother.

>>213791539
This is bait right? All the books are cringey and unoriginal except phalanx which is just cringey most of the time.

Yeah, I'm thinking all this shit should stay in the comics where they can be ignored.

Is the Gibson alien 3 script novelization any good? Are there different versions? Are there any books that are better? I'm in the mood for a scifi novel, I'm pretty familiar with Dick and Gibson

>>213791858
How many of the books have you read? The ones coming out since like the 2010s are consistently fun reads. I have only hated a couple of them. Some are forgettable, but not bad.

>>213791776
I was kind of zoned out too. Did the fucking thing just stick to her back or are these robot/synths/cyborgs/plot devices magnetic?

>>213791894
Do the audio drama version of 3. Its really good. Only downside is that Hick's sounds like an actual Applachian hillybilly.

>>213791840
i think it's the alien throws her or boosts her up because the pit seems way too deep for a human to actually jump out of it like she does - the xeno helps her - you can see how deep it is during earlier scenes like when the "sick" xeno is being examined before they cut it open

>>213791840
I guess the Ayylmao did give her a boost, the art's a bit janky to see what's going on though.
anyway, issue 1 was the one where they had a guy hopped up on drugs to not feel fear, and he was able to think really hard at the Alien and get it to pause for a second while going for the scared guy before getting zapped.

>>213791916
Not all of them but maybe a couple of dozen. Started off with the female war back in the 90s and dip my toe in once in a while. They always come across like an excitable teenager wrote them.

>>213783135
it's a fucking prequel?
somehow it became even gayer

>>213791894
The two Alex White books are good.
Phalanx is probably most commonly people's favorite, but to me the setting was tok far-fetched and the protag had too much plot armor.

The Dirk Maggs books and Alien 3 are probably best experience as their full cast audio dramas.


Avoid all of the AVP books. They are beyond shit. Just utter bottom of the barrel YA trash.

>>213791929
I think it did just stick to her which I thought was actually a cute bit, it's something a 10 year old would do. The writing for the neverland gang is really inconsistent though, sometimes they act like kids but a lot of their conversations come across as way too mature

>>213783135
>Only 2 actually great films.
Is the terminator franchise the only other one where the first 2 films are 10s for different reasons and everything else is dramatically worse?

>>213791962
yup that's the one, i'd pull my physical copies out but they are packed away in boxes after my recent move

All the Lost Boys kids are given super-model bodies and then the indian kid is just some Pajeet kek

>>213791870
>not revisiting the comics 30 years later to swipe neat ideas and ditch the stupid parts.
actually even the stupid parts might be entertaining. I could see that Kavalier character walking an Ayylmao on a leash before it slips loose and kills him.

>>213791870
Im starting to believe that the people who said that the first Alien movie is the only great thing in the franchise may have an actual point

>crossfade with Sid from Ice Age
Wat…

>>213792065
Look they may be a hyper advanced futuristic company but making a pajeet that looks nice is beyond even the likes of Prodigy

>>213792107
Wait until the brother gets a visit from Sid when he's stuck to a wall by the xeno

>>213792086
No one says that anymore. Purists prefer Alien + Alien: Isolation now.

Aren't they just supposed to be aged up versions of their human selves? Of course the pajeet kid ends up in a pajeet body

>xeno cuts through ten party-goers in less than 5 seconds, then takes an entire minute prowling main character and jobbing
Suspense absolutely gone, thanks

>>213792071
>Kavalier character walking an Ayylmao on a leash before it slips loose and kills him.
So like that xenomorph dog thing from planet 51, I could dig it

>>213792086
the first two are the only ones everyone can agree are good.
3 is good, if you watch the remastered "assembly cut" that first showed up on the DVD "quadrilogy" box set, then a later blu-ray release cleaned up some of the shots and they redubbed audio for some of the dialogue that was in shit quality for the DVD release.
Resurrection sucks but looks good (that's Fox's fault for hiring Joss Whedon to write it), the AvP movies suck (but Requiem might have been okay before they fucked up in post-production and made it impossble to see what's going on at any point in the movie).
Prometheus and Covenant are for brawling over, and Romulus is the "don't worry we can still make it look like the first two!" movie that also does a better version of the Newborn from Resurrection that incorporates the black goo from Prometheus. brawling over whether it's good or not is perfectly acceptable.

>>213792236
you fucking retards will never happy eh?

>>213791894
>>213791934
William Gibson's Alien 3 has the stupidest fucking reimagining of how an alien can be formed, and they copied it for Covenant although they toned it down just slightly

Also the bitch is so Charlize Theron's character in Prometheus so they went to that well often

>>213792236
>finally xeno goes after a main character
>gets instantly tazered and cum gunned onto by cybernigga
Xenojobber

>>213792320
at first I thought the cum gun was going to explain why it has a copper dome later, and/or a snakeskin dome, but rewatching the episode it's back to black, so maybe one of the other aliens is responsible.

>>213791488
Aliens are too big to go in the pipes with him and facehuggers don't facehug synth, I don't think it would even affect synths.

Well that was a nice Alien thread over on /v/ where some brown zoomer faggot got doxxed.

in the novel version of aliens there's a part where bishop is crawling through that pipe and finds a section that was partly eaten away by acid - as he moves by a xeno strikes the pipe possibly reacting to movement but it quickly looses interest in him and he continues on - just a cool little scene but would have kinda ruined the pacing of the movie

Yeah, that guy should have made a beeline for the exit.

>>213792587
>>Wendy’s entire motivation is get her brother out of harm’s way

Your retarded take is totally at odds with Wendy's stated admiration for her brother's job as a rescuer.

>>213792587
she believes he is safer with her than alone

>>213792635
She doesn’t give a fuck that he’s a rescuer. Where did you get that from?
She knows that her father and him wanted for him to be a doctor. She says that when muses to herself, “he’s a medic, it’s like a doctor”.
Then she sees him pleading his case for an early resignation so he can go to med school.

But then suddenly, she decides she wants them to hang out even though she knows it’s dangerous where they’re going.

>>213792734
>Where did you get that from?

The parts where she's repeatedly fawning over how brave he is, autist.

>you cant coom to xenos
bro, there are people who coom to bathroom tiles

It would be a spiritual debate wheter synths and hybrides are the exact same thing or not. Ghost in the Shell uses actual brains that are put into a robot, EA merely copies the brain structure and transfers it as data.

>>213791264
Exactly that.
It seemed like the alien was trying to decide if Morrow was frozen in place, and could be easily snatched away for tossing to the eggs, whether or not there was enough of him left to be a host, or even what he is.
He wasn't acting like most humans, and I don't think the xeno saw who shot him earlier. The xeno was trying to decide what to do with him because he wasn't an immediate threat.
The xenos seem to me to typically snatch loners, unless they are attacking in a wave. They'll fight and kill a group of people to scatter them, but they'll leave a couple alive to steal later.

Alien – they say it’s structural perfection’s matched only by its hostility.
Even artificial persons are impressed.
It preys on men.
Don’t need no special suit don’t need no nukes
And don’t need no artillery to rip right through your chest.
Aliens gestate inside a living human host and have some concentrated acid for blood
They mostly come at night. Mostly.
Their fate depends on whether there’s an airlock, whether they’re in space, or whether there’s a chick who’s just to fast to be cut. But the pros have come to fight. But the pros see

They have to get off LV-426
And nuke it from orbit, like Corporal Hicks, cause we know

Whoever said that there’s no real monsters
Never battled with an alien
Throwing down for the company, it’s something we’ve never seen before
Bringing war to xenomorphs this time

GuyzNite said they don't feel it as much for Predator as they do for Alien

>You now remember Alien Resurrection when two xenos turned on a third to tear it to pieces and use it's acid blood to burn holes to escape through.
They can plan. Clearly the one in the comic thought he could escape by throwing the adrenaline raging human at the doctor with the zap switch. She could hurt/kill/incapacitate the doctor and stop the zap zap keeping him from climbing out.

I think Wendy is different a little from the others.
Not in a special way, just that they went full on adult level hormone programming first for weeks or months before using their "age her up by changing the programmed hormone changes."
Wendy's mind altered because of that.
With the rest of the Lost Boys, they started immediately with adolescent level hormones.
Wendy also seems to have more control of her body, makes sense, she was first. Looks like she instinctively magnetized part of her back to hold the cutter, like how she instinctively took control of that dumb droid a thousand miles away from her to talk to her brother simply through looking through the live video feed.
That's fucking dangerous.

They are modified to be blank firing only.
There's a ton of different ways to do that, and an equal ton of different laws to go along with how to do it.
Alec Baldwin is a cheap sonofabitch who brought along real live 1860 style revolvers THAT HE OWNED to save on prop costs. Alec also brought along real ammo.
Then, Alec cheaped out again and hired a lying stupid bitch to be his armorer just because she lied about working with her dad as an assistant.
Alec called that bitch's DAD to be the armorer. Alec had worked her dad several times. He got that bitch instead because she still lived at home, doing OnlyFans and selling nudes online.
Alec and her both broke a ton of rules and laws about real, live ammo being on set and how it is stored and treated.
Alec got a slap on the wrist because of who he is. She got tossed in prison because the worst they could get her on was criminal negligence.
