Nibs

>Prodigy operated a private military force, known as Security Services, to act as law enforcement and search and rescue, as well as provide physical defence from its competitors, in its main administered metropolis of Prodigy City

i dont get it. are they stealing the idea of the Trauma Team from cyberpunk 2077 (dystopian hyper violent society where its not safe for regular paramedics to operate so the rich benefit from armed private ones) or did they just need an excuse for "search and rescue" to have guns

She is a literal child in this show and if you're attracted to her you are a pedo

I just know that I fucked up enough pumpkinheads in elden ring and didn't fuck up a single xenomorph so I think a xeno would win

>>213862154
her mind is a child, her body has booba so play ball

>reposting
Who's a pornstar who looks like Nibs? Maybe like, Mia Collins? Not quite though. I need to know.

>"rumao this character has a goofy haircut"
>is actually the actor's preferred hairstyle

>>213862212
why did he do that

hybrides are supposed to rival boy genius in smarts so why is jeet so dumb

>>213861385
>>213862140
>>213862181
Pumpkinhead is like the physically strongest horror monster ever, his whole gimmick is basically "what if Jason Voorhees was also a fucking Tyranosaurus"

He would bite a xenomorph in half and he would probably only find the acid moderately spicy
The only time anyone ever came close to hurting him was when a whole town riddled him with bullets and his curse was already broken so it's entirely possible their guns were doing nothing and he was already dissipating

>>213862282
Potential != actuality

>>213862282
Running WoW on an RTX 5090 doesn't make it any less of a shitty game.

We're going to see Ripley and crew at the end of this season, arent we?

>>213862378
How often do you people stop and think for a second about what the fuck kind of name 'Sigourney' is anyway?

>>213862378
how would we? the Nostromo is already in space and never makes it back to Earth

>>213862324
>Pumpkinhead is like the physically strongest horror monster ever
Not really, he's at standard werewolf level, unkillable except for a specific weakness

Colby Minifiebros... I don't feel good... this bitch nibs is a usurper

>>213862145
Nobody cares. We are SydCHADS here. This is a Sydney thread. NibKEKS are not welcome and can fuck off and die.
>>213862405
It's unique, memorable and has a certain regality to it.

>>213862409
He throws a pickup truck

>>213862378
I don't see why we would. That was a long range mining expedition, and they just got rerouted due to picking up a signal. It wasn't a purpose built "go get the ayy" expedition. At the time, WY was just looking for any and all signs of alien life to make a profit. It was a wide net.

Nibs is 1000% tragic death bait. They're setting her up to be miserable and scared just to make you feel something when they inevitably kill her in some horrible way.

>>213862494
Is that the ginger girl? For whatever reason I'm expecting her to release the eyeball alien. No logical reason as to why, I just don't get where they're going with her.

awkward teenager sex with nibs

so he just like walked this off? hard ass motherfucker

Wait, is the black guy the same black guy from the first movie?
There is no way they look so similar by coincidence.

>>213862492
As if the show cares
Also, wasn't Ash put on the crew specifically because they knew they would bump into alien life?

>>213862092 (OP)
>>213862145
Say what you want about Hawley, but he has great taste for waifus. Only Lynch was better at this.

>>213862537
No, I think he was put on the crew because again they were casting a wide net. There's probably an Ash on every WY mining expedition, waiting for any sign of ayys so he can pounce on it. There are probably a million other directives too, like "we just found the universe's largest diamond deposit".

T. Ocellus my beloved.

>>213862513
Raunchy experienced sex with Nib's 31yo actress who is obviously a freak irl.

>>213862546
I agree. Always liked the Asian time travel girl in Legion season 3

>>213862546
They aren’t fit to kiss Rain’s feet

>LE ALIEN CAN FEEL YOUR FEAR
>clearly shit his pants in the next scene
>not today nigga

>>213862658
Not that 4chan is much better but holy shit redditors are retarded.

>>213862676
it was to show you that he was absolutely terrified but that his implants masked it

>>213862569
Holy cutie. Made for Nibs eye socket.

>>213862494
I thought this about Bix in Andor. Then she ended up alive with a baby.

>>213862282
they're supposed to have the minds of children still. its just that wendy is a mary sue supersoldier

>>213862722
t. ocellus

>>213862324
Jason vs Pumpkinhead would have been a good crossover.

>>213862728
The kids can't live or it fucks up the status quo of the canon.
>You know she won't live!
moment.

>>213862698
Nice headcanon. So explain why he didn't use it in the mother room on the ship?

>>213862758
Would have been a great 90s crossover

>sci-fi setting with hyper-advanced technology, space ships and synthetic humans
>MAKE EVERY SCREEN A CRT TV RUNNING DOS BECAUSE NOSTALGIC BOOMERS
This shit is so dumb

Making the mc a super strong robot is a colossal fuckup. The Alien series always derived its tension from how vulnerable everyone was to xenomorphs.

>>213862758
I feel like they're too similar in how they operate for it to be that good of a crossover. Freddy vs jason was only really as fun as it was because they're so different and because I wanted to titfuck monica keena.

>>213862569
Why did everyone instantly forgive him for killing the cat

>>213862758
>>213862822
I feel like it would have been very much like Robocop vs Cain where even if there's a clear underdog they'd both be having a difficult time harming each other

>>213862878
He's just an animal, you can't really be mad at him.

>>213862837
Retro futurism, they have to do it to stay canon to the first movies, unlike Ridley the retard and his prometheus shit

>>213862837
CRTs and text interfaces are better than any kind of flatscreen technology or windowed GUI. I'm glad in this version of the future they got it right by coincidence and imply that we go back to those things.

>>213862926
It's not about staying canon, it's about nostalgia-baiting old people that grew up with this shit. It makes absolutely no sense for them to use tiny bulky monitors when they could be rendering things in 3D with holograms.

this was the hardest crew in any piece of Alien media and nothing even came close

will they ever return to this level of grit in sci fi ever again?

>>213863103
I just like that winona ryder is a quintessential shortstack.

>>213863103
kino

>>213862145
so funny how incompetent mouth muscles or other imperfections, as long as she has any redeemable features at all, make a women "interesting" and cause people to fetishize them but for a guy its just instant swipe left and game over

>>213863103
Loved Winona in that. One of my earliest crushes

>>213863103
This was just Firefly

Whedon even made Ripley into River Tam

>>213863103
was resurrection the start of early 2000s black leather action movies?

>>213863103
I wish there was an Alien: Dark Descent game set on that timeline...

I like that we finally got to see the full process of an android experimenting with facehuggers

>Rook fucked up and we only got to see the aftermath, though he did manage to synthesize black goo
>David mostly succeeded but it was done off-screen

>>213863101
i forgot, were the computers and displays upgraded in the star wars prequels like Ep 1 etc?

This show has been confirmed to wipe its ass with canon and timelines so don't expect anything.

>>213863271
>he forgot about the matrix

>>213863253
Same.
For all its faults, Resurrection had an unforgettable look. The director is an artistic genius.

>>213863253
I like how apparently Sigurney tried to soften the lesbian tension...like i wonder what was supposed to happen originally? would they have fucked?

>>213863211
It's always been this way. Women have one thing to worry about: Obesity. And they still whine about men being superficial. Just don't get fat and you'll get asked out by dudes.

>>213863303
resurrection was b4 dat

Guys, I'm crying right now.

Just looking at her picture makes me feel something strange inside. I guess you could call it "love". I'm in love with Wendy. I've lost interest in all girls, besides her.

Wendy really is all I think about all day, every day. I really do cry myself to sleep at night thinking about how I'll never be with her. If only she knew I existed in this life, if only she knew my deep profound love for her. I know that will never happen though. That is the thought that makes me so sad when I look at her. I'll never be with her, but I'll continue to love her until the day I die.

>>213863309
Yeah some great looking sequences in it.

>>213863300
This happens in the Predator timeline.

>>213863334
Yeah but it also didn't start the trend, the matrix did.

>>213863342
but the evil one is hotter

>>213863300
Prometeus and Covenant wiped their ass with Alien lore and ruined it forever. Maybe this show will fix that.

>>213863344
Might as well.

>>213863342
That's not wendy, that's just her actress.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeHjm5cvUHM
this doesnt sound like "maggot brain" at all. cool jam

>>213863186
Every time this guy shows up in a movie it's a guarantee of kino

>>213863342
ETERNALREMINDER THAT I WAIFU'D SYDNEY BACK IN 2022
SHE IS MINE
YOU ARE ALL OFFICIALLY KEKOLDS

>>213863211
>>213863316
Edgar Allen Poe's Ligeia has an entire tract about how a beautiful woman with one weird fucked up thing about her is much more attractive than a beautiful woman with no flaws in her face whatsoever

>>213862149
yeah cyberpunk came up with the idea of corporations having security forces

>>213863591
Her scar is cool, and I hope she doesn't personally feel badly about it, but the director should be executed by firing squad for causing that and unquestionably ruining her career prospects for such a fucking horrible movie.

>>213863591
>In 2019, Incident Productions "pleaded guilty to failing to ensure the safety and welfare of a worker under the Workplace Safety and Health Act" and was fined $40,000 by the province of Manitoba for the incident.[24]
All better!

>>213863316
yeah. its some evolutionary thing, mens role is to be bullycided to death by life so as to improve the gene pool since they cant gestate offspring anyway. people make up all these virtue signalling black and lgbt and feminist "equality" movements but no one questions for a second that any guy who isnt a chad thats getting laid left and right is subhuman and deserves to be shit on

>>213863591
Her lesbian witches military show was kino...too bad that is was just 3 seasons...

>>213862569
that eye thing looked familiar

>>213862149
>>213863603

>>213863591
again its just an evolutionary expression of male hyper sexuality so as to justify not being picky, they're not the ones that get pregnant after all. they will even totally get their wires crossed and start sucking cock, just go look at /gif/. women are just totally unattracted to the majority of men and swipe left on them unless its chad

>they put the black goo inside of the tadpole
lol

>>213863808
?

>>213863803
She's pretty hot, so it's not a surprise she's swiping left on all of them.

>>213863603
if a plane crashes or a skyscraper sets on fire you dont send in Blackwater mercs with M4s and one medic

last episode fucking sucked, they frontloaded it rest of the season will be shit

>surgically remove tadpole from facehugger
>you now have a facehugger that can plap you indefinitely without either of you dying

Imagine the profits
Weyland Yutani's crusade finally makes sense again

>>213863853
its never a surprise

>>213863868
i'm not a corporation that controls billions of people, anon. are you?

>>213863850
when they show the tadpole it's translucent and you can see black shit swirling around in there so they could still leave it muddied whether or not prometheus is actually canon
they straight up asked the director of the show in an interview if it was, and all he would say is that it wasn't his concern or focus - I get the impression he doesn't want to step on another guy's story by saying it's now completely irrelevant within the IP, so they'll ignore stuff that directly clashes with what they want to do while still including little nods

>>213862149
>>213863603
>>213863868
People complain about the weirdest shit
The full ambulance teams were outside
The armed mercs were sent into a collapsing building with an unquarantined spaceship from an enemy company sticking out of it, and their initial mission was to secure floors, evacuate survivors, and slap GPS tags on the dead and critically wounded to make the massive medical force behind them retrieve them more safely

Out of all the stupid shit the show does, this was fine

>>213863951
he's already said it's irrelevant in his story lol
give it up, the black goo is dead here.

>>213862092 (OP)
>>213862127
She reminds me of a very cute mixture of Linda Cardellini and MEW

bring him back

I still don't get how they cloned Ripley and all her memories from DNA samples. I'm pretty sure that's not how brains work. Did Resurrection ever explain that?

>>213863880
It all makes sense now
This is official art btw

Nibs

>>213863990
good eye anon I was thinking she reminded me of someone and I couldn't get there

>>213862145
She's got a lot of nudes and they're nice.

>>213864038
Has this thing ever tried latching onto a woman's rear in canon?

>>213863591
>meet a girl in high school with a disfiguring scar on her face
>has no self esteem
>befriend her while working on a class project
>end up dating
>build her confidence up because I’m in love with her
>get to college
>she reacts to comments about her scar with confidence and gets into flirting
>dumps me
>now she does stuff on Instagram and X and has gotten plastic surgery
>burned through a dozen boyfriends since me in just a few years

I just hope she finds happiness now

>>213863976
that's explicitly my point, he has stated himself he has no interest in prometheus or expanding on it in the show, but they still made it look like that, presumably so it isn't a direct retcon and one could still handwave it as the tadpole delivering the goo

>>213864102
She'd be better without the implants though.

why are they just casually rolling in with it in an open trolley like its a dead cow and not a fucking alien from outer space

>>213864104
The xenomorphs take human breeding slaves and servants in the comic.

>>213864114
that's not black goo, that powerful copium

>>213864114
Something being black in a creature that is almost ENTIRELY black is not a connection to a failed prequel series the showmaker says the show is not connected to.

Yikes.

>>213862092 (OP)
this guy has made multiple of the same threads on TV and will make new ones until he gets the reaction he likes, which is people questioning the dumb show then him trying to run damage control (while getting lore wrong)

he replies to every single post if the thread dies and spergs if you critize him. Someone is paying him he does it all day everyday if you don't know by now he does 80% of the marketing threads

he does this for marvel slop he does this on /v/ too

he is pro Snyder anti new superman

he is a 'gamer girl' Aussie troon (his words)

he HATES the new ok superman

he swears up and down weapons is movie of the year


this guy is paid to do this all day everyday

David > Kirsch

>>213864030
The AYYYS have genetic memory unlocked.

>>213864136
Like straight up getting railed by xenos? Not even facehugger'd?

>>213864030
yeah

I genuinely wonder if we need a plot point about those eggs giving off face-attracting pheremones.

>>213864038
so inside this thing there is a fish-kind organism
is that fish-kind organism they actual brain of this facehugger

>>213864202
No, they make them breed to generate more humans.

>>213864197
I like Kirsh more because the actor playing him is a weirdo

>>213862127
Isn't there an old pic of Rooney Mara that looks exactly like this

>>213864202
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.

It's from Aliens: Labyrinth.

>>213864123
kek, why salty faggots nee to make shit up like this

>>213863965
if someone is actually critically wounded they cant wait hours for a paramilitary team to slap a GPS tag on them and continue "securing the area" like cops clearing a school during a shooting. if they're openly at war with this company it should be explained a bit better because it was easy to overlook during the facetime call to the yutani CEO

What did I just watch? How can anyone defend this?

>>213864038
its called an ovipositor , earth bugs have them too

>>213863342
random genetic chance of a few mm of bone decides if you will be loved and everything you do and are is good vs hated and everything about you is shit

>robo bitch someohow as strong as the alien
>apparently also weight as much or possibly even more since we can drag it while it's on 4 legs
>kills alien offscreen solo
they could have given the brother a token role as a distraction to make it believable within canon, but they didn't even bother
i don't really care for the alien franchise but the lack of fucks radiates from every single scene

>>213864102
the one with the fire crotch? how do you know its not fake

>>213864391
Anon, natural boobs don't look like that. Just because they aren't huge bimbo bolt-ons doesn't mean they're not obviously still implants. You wouldn't guess from the way she looks in clothes but she's done a ton of topless photoshoots so it's really obvious.
I like her btw, I'm just sayin'.

>>213864519
Because I'm a millennial and we're immune to AI slop in a way that older and younger generations don't seem to be for whatever reason.

>>213864126
pathogens do not exist in the future

>>213864507
Xenomorphs aren't that strong individually. Stronger than a Human, but not super strong. The power levels in terms of strength have always been
>Predator (strongest)
>Android
>Xenomorph
>Human (weakest)

>>213864379
For me its Aliens Lovesick

>>213864379
GIWTWM

>>213864594
Androids aren't that strong. A human with a wrench can literally decapitate one, and aliens shred synthetics like wet paper.

in ep 1 they find a crewman who got Mozambique drilled, but who did it? the cyborg? why?

>>213864542
then you should remember something called photoshop before AI

>comic book nonsense again
okay

>get one of those bitchin' forklift robots
>cover it in armor plates made from that acid-proof metal they make paper cutters out of
>install a low level synth AI in it that's about as smart and loyal as a trained German Shepherd

Name one reason this wouldn't actually work in-universe

>>213862406
Alien Earth is set 2 years before Alien, and the Nostromo mission was only 8 months, why would they have already left?

Why are these things dangerous again? Its the barnacle from half life. The only scenario I see someone dying to this is if they're caught off guard.

>>213864796
>does nothing
>wins

>>213864796
Yeah there's no way this thing kills anybody unless someone's enough of a retard to just walk up to it and shove their head in it

No chance of anything like that ever happening

No siree

>>213864524
I've seen the pics you megavirgin, they're natural

>>213864896
i dont understand why you're bringing AI into this, just admit you're too current year and forgot photoshop existed. with well done shops you can't tell the difference between real airbrushed nudes, you just have to assume Katy Perry never did a gangbang scene

>>213864858
OH IM SHOVING SOMETHING UP FRFR

So the trillionaires put the minds of children inside robots to fuck them?

>>213864978
Take your meds, anon. She's been posing in nude photos for 10 years.

>>213864983
this is why the coastal hollywood elites keep hawley in TV

>>213864983
no, he just wants to talk to them, honest....

>>213864858
>another alien that has evolved to exploit the Alien franchise's people's natural desire to shove their face right up on any alien crap that shows up
It's joever

>>213864983
But pedos like kiddie bodies, that'll make no sense

just finished s01e03
they lost me with the telepathic connection with the facehugger thing

>>213865096
Because it's not telepathy
It's literally just that Wendy has super ears
They test her in the first episode and she hears every frequency no matter how high or low
There's nothing magic about xenos communicating with inaudible frequencies all along, especially given how many very audible frequencies they use

>>213865096
Not telepathy. Sensitive hearing. Do you incels watch these shows with audio and captions off?

>>213865096
Go rewatch episode 1, where they explicitly state that Wendy's hearing test has surpassed everything they've thrown at her, and can hear well beyond the human range. The xenos communicate on a frequency that humans can't hear. Wendy can, because she's subconsciously unlocked various aspects of her synth body, whereas the other kids haven't yet.

>>213865029
how am i supposed to know that? google just said shes a "former model"

>>213865137
Who knows. How are you supposed to believe anything, really?

On that face shoving note why did Kavalier of all characters do it too
>like a bajillion iq
>adamantly says he wants those "bioweapons"
>so he knows damn well everything Kirsch collected is dangerous
>still places his face in like the egg farts perfume
It's like stealing an enemy's chemical warfare sample and then going to take a sniff at it
Like wtf

>>213864983
I'm sure he could fuck them with some kind of safety override but those synths can defend themselves. When low sperm count cuck asked Wendy to get out of the way and she said go around me, he fearfully did.

>>213865123
>>213865134
>>213865136
yeah but no, noises do not make people pass out

>>213865153
Living creatures are naturally drawn to looking in to the egg's opening. It's a pheremone/scent thing, as you said. It lures them in, the facehugger jumps out and rapes their throats, and a while later you've got a lil chest burster scampering about.

I thought this bitch just had a retarded haircut for the show, but it seems like she always looks like that.

>>213865153
idiot writer can't make write a smart way for him to fail because they are idiots

For me, it's Nibs

>>213865231
>noises do not make people pass out
They very much do, retard. Certain frequencies can fuck with your ears and cause extreme disorientation and even make you pass out. Conversely, if you're deprived of external sound, you can have a psychotic break. I don't mean like being deaf, I mean like being placed in the world's most soundproof chamber, where you start to hear your body's natural functions.

>>213862092 (OP)
>>213862127
CUTE

why is he so melancholic during this scene? does he feel bad about the casualties or that they couldn't get the xenomorph alive?

>>213865304

she's a robot not a human

>>213865153
It might use pheromones like real venus flytraps

>>213865150
you cant, its been that way with photos for a while and soon it will be with video

>>213865283
this

>>213862837
If they didn't do that how would the nostromo having old tech make any sense

>>213864670
If you're talking about the shitty ones in Isolation, those are cheap androids and they're still stronger than you.

>>213865480
yeah its funny though. imagine she head back in from her crazy futuristic skyscraper rooftop water garden and sits down on her clunky CRT screen comp to check her emails. is this a real building btw

>>213865511
Zoomer detected. In Alien (1979) the black guy quite literally knocks Ash's head off with a wrench.

>>213865332
And robots aren't capable of crashing or having software malfunctions?

>>213863287
There's barely any computer screens at all in star wars. The only scene I can think of is when obiwan is looking up files in the library, and even then that was in the early 2000s when CRTs hadn't been fully phased out yet

>>213865331
He's just a synth anon, they dont feel anything

Reminder that this is set before Aliens (and benevolent androids) so every synth you see will turn crazy, develop a God complex, and kill everyone just like David

>>213865629
only in the presence of aliens they're communicating with telepathically

>>213865851
No shit. Did you forget about the asian synth in episode 1 that kept staring at the women while they slept in the cryopods?

>>213865564
>is this a real building btw

probably Singapore or something

>>213865928
oh i thought that was just a r/asianmasculinity moderator

>>213865304
You've chosen to engage with a Chan autistic. Thank you for your service, but ultimately there's no win here.

>>213865331
>caring about a clanker's feelings

If kirsh is a synth what makes the billion dollar prototypes so special

>>213865652
Ship command decks?

>>213866638

He's not a good conversationalist and also can't telepathically communicate with aliens.

jesus christ

Is Nibs gonna snap?

>>213864607
This art is so fucking garbage. Imagine calling yourself a fan of this. Imagine being such a fan that you get upset when future works disregard and decanonize this low-effort trash.

>>213866830
duh, it's pretty obvious she will cause the containment breach

I honestly really liked Ep 3. What were your thoughts?

Exploitable new meme format.

>>213866638
The hybrids are supposedly real human beans consciousness but in a robot body. The claim is that they have better capacity for learning/ improving while also having the durability of robots.

>>213866856
The dissection scene is good. I love that sort of shit where they try to show more of what the monsters' physiology are like.

Don't try to make sense of this slop

I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to what makes this good. Everything I hear or read boils down to
>I like it because it's good and it's good because I like it
>I clapped when I saw it

>>213863103
>the year is 1997
>despite one miss with Alien 3, Alien is still precariously considered a premium IP based on the cultural clout of its first two installments, widely regarded as two of the best movies ever made
>Alien Resurrection is on the horizon
>the film that will make or break the IP's premium status by returning to form, or not
>you wait with bated breath
>Resurrection comes out
>it's a hokey, schlocky B-movie
>it's literally over, Alien is dead, this is the final nail in the coffin, let's pack it up
>the year is 2024
>Alien hasn't been considered a premium IP for what feels like a century
>the AVP films were shit and three films in the series since '79 and '86 aspire to be high art philosophical thoughtpieces but fall short and are cringe to watch
>the EU has been nothing but dogshit for decades
>Resurrection is the one entry in the series post-Aliens that has no pretensions and actually delivers on its premise
>it's a genuinely entertaining sci-fi horror/action mash-up that doesn't try to dupe you into thinking it's Plato's lost work or include a buttload of hamfisted literary allusions
>it's genuinely fun to watch, has a couple kino performances and a memorable cast, a waifu worth dying for, and some pretty fucking horrifying/trippy scenes
>suddenly it doesn't seem so bad and actually seems ahead of its time for being self-aware that the series isn't premium any more and just embracing that
>you realize, too late, that it was the last good Alien film

>>213866908
Is this kid really another kid synth?

>>213867127
Based Nibs enjoyer

>>213867354
No, he is the brother of Ripley, that's why he uses a pseudonym.

>>213865480
You'd be surprised how long outdated tech lasts in industrial work.

>>213862149
I see you've flip flopped now that I showed you cyberpunk was doing it

>>213862516
this shit was beyond dumb. girl boss a few minutes later was the last straw

>>213862516
>>213868185
I watched this live and said that out loud when he got the fuck up and ran to hit the elevator buttons

>What the fuck, didn't it just kill him

>>213868230
I sincerely want to know who was in charge of this scene because it's fucking idiotic. She hooks the inner jaw, no acid blood. This guy basically gets impaled. You could practically tell someone after wrap up came with notes and they actively tried to edit the scene down to obscure visuals of a steel hook latching on the Xeno or a full tail impaling this guy.

i haven't seen it, is it bad. i'm a big alien fan and i thought Romulus was passable

I really don't like how now suddenly there's 20 different alien species breaching containment. It feels redundant.
Should've focused on the xeno only.

Same thing with the androids. So now there's many different types. Replicants, androids, synths, cyborgs and who knows what else. There's probably an entirely separate AI category for Mother-like AIs too. It's actually peculiar that Prodigy is not running some system-wide AI in his HQ.

>>213868335
>>213868230
Fighting with xenomorphs was always retarded.
Apparently it's strong enough to topple a trailer or a container and punch through steel doors but then some scrawny medic is jousting with it.

The way xeno strength is portrayed it should easily lift and break Wendy in half despite how durable she seems to be (not that durable).

At least the cyborg used proper tools to handle it.

>>213867312
Morrow's company goonery is kinda interesting
That's about it

>>213868230
didnt a few people die with that specific attack in prior movies? I hate that shit when they alter lore just for the plot.
also why did the alien even show itself to a synth. absolute fucking retarded apex predator lmao eviscerates a whole room in seconds last episode and does that??

>>213868975
Wendy was communicating with it telepathically, try to keep up.

>>213869000
is that before or after she telepathic told the xenomorph she gunna inner skull fuck it?

>>213864126
>alien creature oozing goo and acid blood
>acid still fuming

Also theyre literally 10 years old. Have you ever taught 10 year olds?

>>213862406
No it's not.
Eight month trip for the Nostromo to it's destination to pick up it's load.
Eight month trip back.
Nostromo only made it halfway back.
I 'll be generous and say the Nostromo was thirteen months into an eighteen month mission.
Ash was a last minute change to the Nostromo
crew, five days before it launched.
Something happened a week before the WY vessel Nostromo launched.
Something like WY finally getting all of the data on where the Maginot picked up it's specimens and then formulating a plan to have the next available ship swing by in the general area to "accidentally" receive a "distress call" that the new science officer used to force the expendable crew to check out under threat of forfeiting their pay if they didn't check it out.
So we're looking at about a three month timeline in between the Maginot crash on Earth and WY getting enough of the data to figure out that LV426 housed the xenos. The rapid deployment of Ash, and his malfunctions on the Nostromo indicate that the data was retrieved in barely enough time to halfass reprogram a new science officer and stuff him on the Nostromo, so days maybe before the Nostromo launch.

>>213869864
God youre pathetic.

>>213862587
jesus, what a beauty - she's hafu tho isn't she?

>>213863591
Damn. That's the little skater cutie with a stalker from Deadpool.

>>213864796
It's racist against humans

Watched Ep 3, it just gets worse.

The Metallica outro. I am both a huge Tool and Metallica fan. But these are very much out of place in this material.

More terrible editing throughout.

Shaky cam.

The acting and dialogue.

I'm hate-watching at this point.

>>213863342
She kinda looks like My're wife

Why is nibs so sexy?

>>213869510
"It seems like the acid oxidizes after the creature's death."
If that is too complicated for your zoomzoom skibidi toilet brain, whatever keeps the acid highly destructive is severely damaged after the alien dies.
It immediately starts breaking down into a weaker form whenever it leaves the closed system of the xeno.

>>213864038
Ayylien was always about being raped

>>213870049
Doesn't matter, I wouldn't touch that with ten-foot pole, let alone cart it around openly. Who knows what stuff is on there?

I'm surprised nobody has called her Nibbles yet

>>213867694
Not just that, but weapons too.
Colt 1911 is still a very popular handgun with minimal changes despite being a hundred years old.
Browning M2 .50 cal machine gun is still in use by the US Military with almost no changes in a hundred years.
The 30.06 cartridge is over a hundred years old.
.45 Long Colt is a hundred and fifty years old.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

>>213870128
we've called her that. Or do you mean in the show?

>>213870049
anon, you're encountering an unknown deadly creature from some unknown planet. You don't know what kind of airborne virus it could be packing. Containment is like the most basic bitch thing you should be doing.

>>213869890
Shitty bait, zoomzoom.
Go back to gooning and leave the adults to speak.

>>213864002
why did he feel the need to specify that he was a rapist OF WOMEN? was he afraid of looking bad if they thought he was gay?

>>213870350
what exactly are we supposed to understand happened here? She gutted and tore apart a xeno, and it... bonked her on the head?

>>213862516
>>213868185
>>213868230
It speared him in the side, it looks weird as if he's stabbed in the chest but that's not what happened.

Now I also thought "Holy fuck how is he standing?" but then he collapsed, threw up, and passed out a minute later.

>>213870395
She short-circuited and had to be put into safe mode like a faulty cellphone before her lithium ion battery exploded

She just needed her capacitor to fully discharge so she could be safely recharged. Same thing happened to my old laptop.

>>213870395
Probably slammed her around a bit like a terrier with a rat.
Xeno was bashing her head on the wall and thinking "This fucking thing won't die!" and she managed to get in a decapitation strike at close range as it was learning that synthetics were far tougher than humans.

>>213862149
they are in the same universe o blade runner after all

>>213870483
>they are in the same universe o blade runner
huh?
Blade Runner isn't from Cyberpunk

>>213864126
so fucking goofy having it that vibrant green they could have at least discoloured it as it oxidizes with the atmosphere fucking cunts

>>213864126
Wasn't the original Alien bigger?

>>213870700
Are you retarded? How is the audience going to know it's acid unless it's acid green in color. Think a second before you type, shit for brains.
If it were me in charge of this show I'd put a hardsubbed caption "[ACID]" as well, to remove any doubt.

So, if they could already do longrange exploration missions 65 years ago what kind of sick space stuff are they doing now?

>>213862092 (OP)
This is so fucking bad.

I watched the first episode yesterday, it was decent, I'll admit I got hooked

Then I watched the second episode. Really puts on display the lack of talent studios are working with right now.

>synthetics are a rainbow confederation of uninteresting and bland people
If you could choose any body you wanted, why the fuck would you choose the most unattractive mystery meat on offer?
Perfect excuse to have some unnaturally attractive women or ridiculously buff men become action heroes again.
>all the ethical considerations of having children in adult bodies are ignored
In fact, the more you think about this the more retarded it gets. Would you trust a child with chat GPT to lead a search and rescue mission into the jungles of Namibia?
>Joe spends an hour being hunted by some weird extraterrestrial creature
>every time he has a chance to blast it, he decides to throw his gun away and choke, and get saved by plot armor, it's so fucking bad
>Wendy turns up and he spends 15 minutes talking about asinine bullshit, completely unconcerned about the fact there's a massive Alien that's killed everyone around him
>Wendy decides to reveal to him right then in the middle of everything that she's actually his sister

Is there any reason to watch the third episode at this point?

>>213870814
>If you could choose any body you wanted
Did you notice that every Lost Boy looks like an adult version of the specific dead kid they were made from

>>213870814
I usually watch 3 episodes to give something a chance
But it's really a shame with this show so far, all the set design and VFX look pretty good

>>213870837
>did you notice that bald, cancerridden toddler actually became the adult version of herself
No, how the fuck would I?
You're pulling shit out of your ass, they decided to cast some random nobodies with little to no acting talent for the parts, and that's what they got. If they had thought about it for more than two seconds (and were willing to spend money on people who can actually act), we could have had an interesting cast. Ask a child what they want to look like as an adult, 0% will say "unattractive 4/10 girl with no tits" or "gay pajeet"
Completely bland and uninteresting cast.

>>213867312
It has a modicum of artistic merit so it's worth watching.

>>213870910
The gay pajeet kid turned into a gay pajeet adult
The black kid turned into a black adult

For real are you fuckin with me
This general is the worst thread I've seen in a very long time for people either not understanding or pretending not to understand very simple things

>>213867500
Fuck you

>>213870538
i mean alien and predator

>>213870962
Explain to me why exactly their robot adult bodies had to be the most uninteresting adult versions of themselves?

And again, the main character, Wendy, had no hair and no discerning features whatsoever. They could have cast anyone for the adult role, and they went with a titless freak.

>>213870814
What did you think about the fancy dinner party getting ruined by the alien?

>>213862092 (OP)
Why the fuck they write the synths fucking obsesses with aliens for some reason? Thank God in Aliesn Bishop was actually fine. All this shit and talk about humans being just animals from this Synth and here he is lusting and touching just another fucking parasite like its best shit in the world.

>>213871073
Found it hard to believe they didn't hear a space ship destroy the entire building, but sure, they were having a good time and somehow didn't notice.
It was entertaining, but sandwiched between nonsensical plot points.

>>213870814
All that shit with Borother is so reatrded, HE FUCKING MET ALIEN 4 times and all 4 times aliens just desides to be retarded and do nothing to him. Hell he even fucking SAVES him from getting hugged by an egg!

>>213870842
That guitar getting raped in alien transportation back to island scene makes my ears bleed. I bet someone calls it music.

>>213871078
>“The thing with Alien is that it’s not just a great monster movie. It’s the story of humanity trapped between its primordial parasitic past and its AI future, and they’re both trying to kill us. So, there’s nowhere to go. It’s really a story of does humanity deserve to survive? Does humanity’s arrogance in thinking that we’re no longer food and its arrogance in creating these AI beings who we think will do what we tell them — but ultimately might lose their mind — is there a way out?”

>“There’s a moment in the second film [1986’s Aliens] where Sigourney Weaver says, ‘I don’t know which species is worse — you don’t see them screwing each other over for a percentage.’ I think there’s something really intriguing about exploring humanity in all its goods and evils and then trying to recreate for an audience those feelings you had in watching those first two films — which isn’t easy in a franchise that has had four subsequent films and another film coming out soon [Alien: Romulus], but I think I have some tricks up my sleeve.”

>>213870837
red head was fat girl with freckles and Curly was a cripple blonde and not mexican and black haired.

>>213871108
>Stabbed him in the lungs and he got back up
Why do they even need synths when the average joe is this powerful

>>213871174
I like how he looks like the dorkiest character in a cast full of dorks and he still got that dawg in him and melee fights a xeno repeatedly after ... you know what actually. It's amazing how THIS is everyone's first exposure to the xenomorph and they're all rushing into combat with it like it's nbd.

>>213870239
Touch Grass

>>213871141
yeah this premice is retarded, and boring.

So we now went to creepy side with this morrow and jeet talk. Realy fucking glad they desided to make hybrids fucking kids. And that girl talking with Boy Degeneratius with that creepy smile "lets get to play together".

Anon why is it so tiresome?

How many more episodes until we get to the jeet die brutally to something unrelated to the aliens like being ground up by machinery? Does Hawley even have the balls to kill any of the robokids?

>>213871341
I think the acting was great in those scenes. She really sounds like an overachieving preppy preteen that desperately wants someone to acknowledge her genius.

>>213871389
Wendy will 100% be the sole survivor this season.

>>213871403
and he sounded like he wanted to lick her anus.

>>213864126
>>213870235
Yeah this was so anticlimatic, they could have made it better just by putting some dudes in hazmat suits to do this job, while the mercs evacuate the bystanders

>>213871389
i bet first red head will dug out her eye or let the monster to accupy it or something. No idea where her fetis appears from?

>>213870049
So thats why we never saw acid melting things long after alien died! Oh wait we did.

>>213871463
The hazmat suit guy is still busy spraying the wall, please understand

>>213871514
He fucking does it in the same fucking spot since before Wendy was made. And now smoking while at it with mask removed ON THE SAME PLACE where he needed the mask in first place.. what the fuck is that shit for? Also is redhead and that hazmat lovers now?

>>213871504
Tell me you failed chemistry without saying you failed chemistry.
Go be a retarded faggot elsewhere zoomer.

>>213864126
The asian techs thought it was dinner service, no on asked them to be there.

>>213862837
>>213865480
I work in agricultural machinery and it makes some sense.
On some farms they still use old cab-less tractors from 1965 along massive and sleek combine harversters that are almost self-driving and have more screens and buttons than a spaceship

>>213871586
Why are you calling someone that watched the originals a zoomer while you defend the new slop, shouldn't it work the other way around?

>>213871586
>claims acid oxidizing is somehow related to creature health
>Tell me you failed chemistry without saying you failed chemistry.
Are you some kind of clown?

>>213864126
WHY PUT SUCH FUCKING HORRIBLE MUSIC IN THIS?

>acid stops being acid the moment the alien dies

are you people retarded?

>>213871672
Hawley was highly praised for his soundtrack in Legion so I guess they let him do whatever.

Alright you two retards what did the blackie tell you exactly??

the show is ok
doesnt feel like alien though

>>213871629
I'm not defending the new show.
"The acid oxidizes rapidly after the creature's death." was well known in the first two.
This indicates that the xeno is constantly creating new acid, and that the acid is under high pressure inside of it.
Once production stops, it begins to oxidize rapidly unless contained in a nonreactive container and sealed with a nonreactive gas in the container.
This is not magic, it's basic science and chemistry.
>>213871658
Yeah, it is. If the current amount of acid is not constantly reinforced with the production of more acid, it will burn out and not serve the purpose it is being created for.
Again, are you people being intentionally retarded?
Take for example simple hydrochloric acid.
It has many names, but it's properties and composition remain the same.
Just because muriatic acid can etch concrete in minutes because it has a 35% concentration of HCL does not mean that stomach acid cannot etch concrete too.
It just takes a lot longer, and the byproducts of the slower reaction hamper further results faster than if you were using muriatic.
Get off of ChatGPT and fucking learn what you are talking about.

>>213871841
>Get off of ChatGPT and fucking learn what you are talking about.
Says the guy making ChatGPT tier posts lmao. Every accusation is a confession from your types of halfwits.

How did Wendy manage to hook onto the tiny mouth of the Xeno? It's clear she didn't pierce it or the blood would have gotten all over Hermit.
But the tiny mouth doesn't have anything "closed" to hook onto, it would just slip over it surely.

>>213871890
Only way that makes sense is that she pierced it, but then that doesn't make sense for different reasons.

>>213871108
Theory is he also has that psychic/frequency connection to the alien and that's why the alien, also feeling it, is more into investigating him than outright killing him.
This specific trope was already explored in the Dark Descent game.

My question is why did Morrow let the alien rampage on the ship, kill the crew and crash the ship and almost kill him too while he had access to a gun that can KO it instantly ?

>>213871869
You won't get any of what I typed from ChatGPT no matter what prompt you give it.
Also, your language indicates that you are too young to be posting on this website.
Go to bed. You have middle school in the morning little kid.

>>213871709
Based.

https://youtu.be/6AfE3TDJwHs

>>213871913
I went back to look and turns out she does pierce it and only the tiniest bit of blood comes out, and flies off screen away from Hermit without getting a single drop on him.

>>213863101
>It makes absolutely no sense for them to use tiny bulky monitors when they could be rendering things in 3D with holograms.
The most common graphing and scientific calculators nowadays, still look like graphing calculators from the 1990s.
If you figure out tech that works, you sometimes stick with it.
The same goes for computer keyboards.
Ever try to use an iPhone in the rain?

>>213871961
Also doesn't melt the hook a few seconds into the fight so the xeno has to dick around on the floor before finally remembering he's supposed to be this big scary murder machine and biting his little mouth off.

>>213871952

My guess is that the ship's crew mutinied. We were already shown that Smiley was antagonistic towards him and the rest of the crew acted tense. It's a bit tropey but they likely didn't know the full W-Y protocol and they started getting uppity and renegotiating the bonus situation and it got out of hand and they had to die. Specimens got loose etc etc... then Morrow just let the xeno kill them all.

>>213871965

Yeah bro everyone knows people whip out their CRT monitors in the rain.

>>213871841
look at this image >>213864126 for a moment mb you will see how retarded you are yet still defending this.

>>213871890
There might not be a lot of acid blood in that part.
AlienRipley ripped a tongue out barehanded. Hicks took a full load of acid to his chest armor and it still took ten seconds or so to eat through it.
Alien acid is not adamantium.
It doesn't instantly cut through everything it touches.
It also vaguely follows the idea of reaction to a material dilutes the acid and slows the reaction.
What the fuck are they teaching kids in school where they think that just because an acid exists and can melt something that the acid retains it's full strength and power forever?
If an acid touches a substance, and there is a reaction, the acid is then diluted and has less of a further reaction.
The only way to increase it's reaction is to add more of the acid. Otherwise, it just gets diluted to the point of nonreactivity with the substance it is in contact with.

>>213871952
Someone from earth has psychic/frequency connection to the alien that never existed on earth? yeah its retarded. Basically a fucking magic.

>>213871952
>he had access to a gun that can KO it instantly ?
i bet they will show us a retarded reason whysoon.

>>213872089
They don't teach us about alien molecular acid blood in school. Drumpf has failed us.

>>213871961
That hooked in tongue scene was SO FUCKING BAD alien looked like some retarded cat that tried to escape for no reason, and HOW THE FUCK the tongue is that stong! It didnt tear in the slightest when his whole body was moved and thrown to the side using tongue as leverage.

>>213872089
Yeah I must've missed the lesson about xenomorph blood.

>>213872113
Might have something to do with all of the people that died figuring it out on the Maginot's 60 year mission.
They might have figured out a few countermeasures to some of the creatures they captured.
>>213872123
I blame the Dept of Education.
Math is math, and chemistry is chemistry.
No matter who is president, 2+2=4, and adding a base to an acid dilutes them both.
>>213872157

>>213872089
>shows us for years taht alien blood melts anything in seconds
>why you think it should melt anything in seconds?
Ripley blood melted space ship illuminator in seconds and she didnt even have the same blood as aliens.

>>213872181
>Might have something to do with all of the people that died figuring it out on the Maginot's 60 year mission.
>They might have figured out a few countermeasures to some of the creatures they captured.
sounds funny as we saw them all dying from this creatures.

>>213872200
Ripley's blood ate the glass of the window faster than it burned a hole in the metal floor of the Auriga.
Add in the alien acid blood being green means that it is likely some sort of phosphoric based acid rather than the more common hydrochloric.
>>213872215
Again are you intentionally being retarded?
We saw like three synths and two humans, and half a dozen cyborgs.
Out of a crew of how many?
How many left on the Maginot sixty years ago?
Ten? Twenty? Fifty?
All we know is that a bunch of them died before the return trip. Enough that strict disciplines under threat of immediate violence if any faction dared fuck with the creatures safely locked away.

>guys we got all these alien lifeform from across the galaxy
>big human eyeball with multiple irises and tentacles
>big plant hanging from ceiling with tentacle
>large slow ticks
>idk a bug or something
>big black alien bioengineered by a weiland-yutani android to be a superior life form (defeated by hook and standar issue zap gun, can also be killed with a regular gun)

I mean why even bother. I'm sure R&D can cook up some better shit.

>>213872200
yeah btw that moment when her blood dissolved glass kinda ruins the theory of oxidising acid blood too.

>>213865332
>she's a robot not a human
The show is repeatedly referencing the “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” film by Kubrick/Spielberg, hence the teddy bear Prodigy logo.
She’s a “Robot” who becomes a “real person”.
The show may have also had discrete references to 4chan in the last episode when the black android is looking up info on Prodigy Corp.

>>213872321
Maybe read before you type, zoomer retard.
There are several types of acid that eat glass, and Co2 and oxygen have little oxidation effect on them.

>>213872310
And again they are being killed by aliens they learnt to have countermeasures from. What countermeasures did they lern again?

>>213865564
Like Wes Anderson doesn’t do this for Vintage Bonus Credits.

>>213872347
Maybe read before you type? fuck are you even blabbing about retarded piece of shit?

>>213872380
They learned that shocking the shit out of the alien and then spraying it with a goo polymer net is a bit effective.
Obviously blowing holes in it until it is dead works, but Morrow clearly wanted it alive.
I'm of the opinion that on the Maginot someone fucked around and broke protocol and then everyone was neck deep in shit because you can't pump the xeno full of holes to stop it on a space craft without bad results for the ship.

>>213872433
Allow me to spoonfeed you, little kid.>>213872310
This will come as a surprise to you, but different acids react different ways to substances.
Some eat metal, some eat glass, some eat plastics.
Some cross over between two different substances.
This shit isn't hard.

>I downloaded all the information about having sex in all possible positions and variations yesterday and now I know all about it
>am I your favorite now?

>>213872499
Yes and acids that eat glass arent oxidising acids.
So you can go being retard somewhere else now.

>>213872595
All acids are oxidizing acids, retard.
Exposure to a reactive atmosphere is all it takes.
Do you wish to question me further?
Did you miss the part where I clearly stated that for an acid to be neutral both the container and atmosphere have to be acid specific to prevent oxidation?

>>213870814
>If you could choose any body you wanted,
boy chose the bodies for them.
