Wendy In Wonderland edition

previous >>213945763

>>213958093 (OP)
its extremely problematic to be attracted to this character

>>213958224
>but can you hold a really really really super cool mindblowing interesting conversation?

>>213958013
nta but I think Nibs will lose her shit and become the physical threat while Curly will be the manipulative type.
>>213958022
And then there was the vampires, because why not. These two books are great.

>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?

How do you respond?

>>213958330
Or maybe it's just the script playing out and Curly is a good girl looking for daddy's approval.

Hybrid xeno tease. Getting Kenner vibes with the color change

>>213958338
with her mind she would still be scared if someone stuck just the tip in her

>>213958374
uh I missed that trailer

>>213958402
I had the queen and the snake (really fucking long desu)

Do you think there's any in-lore reason none of the sample synths have a white alpha male type?
So far we've seen that the black guy and indian guy are naive and goofy. The ginger is already psychotic but appears to be serious somewhat.
Meanwhile Wendy and the ambitious one are boss girl types.

Do you think this is on purpose by the prodigy guy for some reason.
Basically the group of kids is lacking an assertive "bully" type.

>>213958407
I think it was in the weeks ahead preview

>>213958438
I had the panther, queen and aqua aliens (aqua was from Resurrection)

i never watched romulus but it was on in the bg the other day and it looked nice, like sets, aesthetics.

>>213958507
inb4 cailee armpit

>>213958402
I remember the "scorpion" model looking like the regula movie's xeno and getting confused

>>213958507

It's a nothing movie, a glib fascimile just to tide things over. Streamslop tier with zoomzoom protags.

>>213958507
I's pretty good, mostly the first act

>>213958507
It wasn't bad. Nothing amazing but okay enough. I liked the basketball player monster towards the end.

>>213958545
I think Romulus is the only movie in the entire franchise that never even tries to contribute a new idea

It's just an entire fucking montage of scenes cribbed from previous Alien movies
More shameless than The Force Awakens

>>213958447
Thank god we don't have a bully, that story was told a billion times already. Also they are kids not teens, at best you get one of then to whiny more than the others.

>>213958330
Nah. Nibs is gonna run.
Her first line was demanding to know when they could go back home.
Nearly getting faceraped an an alien octopus eyeball is gonna push her into running from the labs.

>>213958383
Tranfers is just cut and paste which is just a fancy way of coying and deleting the original afterwards.

>>213958897
kids are more bullying than teens

>>213958447
white guys don't die of bullshit due to superior genes

>>213958867
It didn't have anything from resurrection did it?

>>213959370
Well the whole alien weirdo hybrid being a creepy newborn monstrous child that has to be mercy killed basically.

>>213959055
>esl
Good morning saar!

>>213959680
I'm not in any esports league, kiddo.

>>213958534
Yeah but it's a little bit more spikey and explodes (just like real scorpions)

>>213958093 (OP)
>tfw no ultra elite megarich Yutani mommy to look after you and treat your every desire in elegant opulence

Fag Cavalier could never

>>213960066
I can't remember where I saw that actress before.

Well, bros? How is the show still holding up? I watched like 65% of E1 and thought it was good outside of the synth-island storyline

>>213960359
I like it' setting feels different and I'm enjoying the island parts when they get technical or the boys catching up with their new reality

>>213960359
fantastic, sucks we'll probably have to wait at least 2 years for a season 2

>>213960359
I thought it was going to be unwatchable but its actually decent.
Better than Romulus. Alien: Isolation tier but without the cool mannequins and with a bit more coloureds.

>>213960359
I like that it feels like a human made it and not a group of executives.

>>213958093 (OP)
Has /tv/ recovered from being destroyed by R.Ager yet?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF7vWPGnEyY

>>213961409
Here's my question: who is R.Ager? A youtuber? You want me to click that link and listen to a brain dead idiot ramble about Alien Earth?

>underage /tv/ tourist doesn't know Rob Ager, one of the greatest independent directors of our time
Watch Turn in your Grave, loser

>>213960359
The hype is kinda gone for me. Too long to wait for just filled eps.

The eye creature and the redhead, as well her psychological issues and questions she asks are the most interesting part of the series so far. I think they're going to axe her because I don't detect plot armor on her.

The wendy sue character is boring as fuck, although the series seems to acknowledge it at least with this scene >>213958338
>wendy's a moron, she only cares about her stupid brother
so maybe a turning point will occur at some point. I really fucking hope so.

>>213961409
This is the biggest and bestest thing that happened to the Alien franchise, it will be remembered as goated just like Romulus

>>213958402
I had the Bull, Gorilla, OG, Apone and Bishop.

>>213961960
I had the Gorilla, Flying Queen, Queen Face Hugger. Gorilla had a rubber head you could quirt water out of.

>>213958402
>>213961960
>>213958534
>>213958438
These hunks of plastic were probably cool when you were 6. Y'know, like 30 years ago? Now it's just a bunch of plastic waste old "men" fawn over like retarded children. Disgusting.

>>213958093 (OP)
i want to lick boy kavalier's feet

>>213961699
As much as I appreciate the sexually confusing Fifth Element shtick, doesn't it seem weird that they had this entire sequence take place in such an uncontrolled environment? How did they know she wouldn't go nuts from the process and kill them all?

>>213962232
Nobody wants to know that. In a better world you would be excommunicated from all public life for your unsolicited displays of indecency.

why didnt the paper cutter blade melt when wendy sliced the xeno?

>>213962315
because paper cutter blades are made out of stainless steel which is more resistant to acids than hard carbon rich steel

How do the MeGusta Saars turn a 2.3GB episode into a 350MiB episode while still 1080p, saars?

>>213958093 (OP)
Haven't watched Alien: Earth, but she's incredibly cute. Like I can't believe that someone could be that cute.

I'll never meet someone like her in real life.

The pathetic simping on this board digusts me.

>>213962355
more modern and efficient (but less compatible) codec and lower bitrate (which can still look great in stills but hurts the quality in scenes with lots of motion, see YIFY for an extreme example)

talk about them ayy lmaos

How many 9/11 survivors itt? I was triggered by the recreation of WTC in the first ep:(

>>213962244
and she is 12 too so writers is basically pedos

>>213962338
more resistant is not immune.

>>213962365
thats a fucking shopped photo studio slop shit. in reality she has shit ton of wrinkles everywhere.

>>213963045
it was a quick slice through the head, it only needs to resist corrosion for a moment

>>213963118
she stabbed him first and then used it to slice.

This is now a Nibs thread

nibs only fucks nigs

>>213963118
>quick slice
then blood she flipped off from blade melt the flood then alien blood melt the ceiling alien turn around the container (wendy conveniently fainted and disappeared into black hole until she runs to hook the alien tongue.) the blade still on her back magnetized to it then she fought the beno cuts his head in half AND its still didnt melt!!! ITs not fucking stainless steel its adamantium because its way stronger then fucking Predators metal!

>>213963217
its only now melting away.

>>213963217
When you're analyzing this much, you're just nitpicking.

Can we call the cops to arrest this asshole for this guitar rape? My ears fucking bled.

>>213963264
shit like this break fucking immersions and believability of the story same as her brother retarded plot armor. Its just transforms into fucking comedy.

>>213958507
it's garbage

>>213963035
The fact that the rich (not even super rich like in our world, just rich) aren't constantly fucking synthetic little girls shows how braindead the writers are. The God's All Star kid genius should have had a harem of little girls and boys. And also synthetic ones.

>>213962398
not only you but even the females feel disgust. they are like pajeets, nobody likes them but they lack self awarness, they think it's funny, cute or something.

Saarsly should die the most painful death

>>213958093 (OP)
I feel like I know her now with all those close ups.

>>213958867
Yeah its crazy. Even the cocoon scene, the "new" thing the alien does, is straight up ripped from Species right down to making it look like a pussy.

>>213963515
>the females
ugh, girl here, this poster gave me a bigger ick than all the Alien: Earth fans itt

>>213962232
Shut up Curly

>>213958243
I'm attracted to the actress protraying said character so it's okay. I care about Sydney, not Wendy.

>>213963816
I want to shove her against the wall and bite those lips

>>213958383
They definitely get killed. I'll bet anything there's going to be a plot development where Wendy finds out she's a copy of a dead person and has to come to terms with being a synthetic with extra steps.

>>213962244
She can't. It goes against her Fourth Directive.

>>213960359
I don't think they can keep up the pace but it's good. I don't want to say it's great because I went in with rock bottom expectations but it's good. Plot armor is a little too noticable leading to some pretty retarded shit though (e.g. the xenomorph obliterating a room full of people in a few seconds or those army guys when it's in the bag thing (which was kind of dumb in itself) but not just killing Hermit multiple times).

For me, is the comics-verse Aliens sequel where the Xenomorphs starts impregnating their hosts at a celular level and the plot becomes The Thing in space.

>>213964187
The body horror shit is only good in low doses. The poor reception of Alien Resurrection demonstrates this.

>>213963217
What are you talking about you fucking EDL mongoloid?

>>213960066
>come home to mommy, Morrow

>>213963201
Joke's on you. Although it says on Wikipedia that she's Jewish-English because of her father, her actual father is a Black man. As you can see here >>213963816

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.

>>213963264
>When you're analyzing this much
I caught this the second it happened.
Unrealist aggrassivness of the aliens acid is the main staple of the series. When a weapon is unaffected it really stands out.

>>213958093 (OP)
Only difference between hybrids and synthetics is that hybrids have downloded a personality trait. They are still souless robots that just mimic human behavior

>>213958402
Had the queen, the gorilla (with the water squirting head), the mantis, the one with the wings that I can't recall the name of right now, and the one from the Alien vs Predator 2-pack, which was my favorite, because it actually looked like the xeno from the movie.

>>213962315
Why is the xeno seemingly immune to bullets, but not paper cutter blades? How did Wendy get the blade to stick to her back? Why even write in the cutter to start with? She could have just found a katana or something in the powdered wig guy's apartment. How did the people at that party not just hear or feel their building get 9/11'd?

>>213965397
>this NPC unironically thinks that it's opposition must be Alien Romulus fans
My sides. You're the one who loved Shitmulus last year when it was the big thing. I never liked anything in the Alien franchise other than Alien, Aliens and the second Alien vs Predator (Monolith) game. I'm older than your daddy, also.

>>213962213
no they're pretty kickass still.
>>213965992
>the one from the Alien vs Predator 2-pack, which was my favorite, because it actually looked like the xeno from the movie.
hell yeah.
That Guy, Gorilla, Scorpion, Bull, the "Panther" (I think) which was just a mostly-black version of the two crouching/running ones on the left here >>213958402
that for some reason launched a little winged chestburster from behind his head. plus Hicks, Apone, Ripley, Vasquez, the power loader with treads and a bunch of guns on it, and the "stinger" vehicle.
I think the winged one was supposed to be a flying Queen.

>>213964216
The problem with Resurrection is that it did human body horror as deformed things, the beauthy of Giger is he makes it erotic and not too horrific he found the fine line of grotesque but beuty so it isn't just disgusting to be disgusting, the lines and curves excentuaute and cause an erotic activation. Ressurection failed on this because it's just disgusting deformities and body horror for the sake of it

>>213966235
In Avatar, Jake is able to transfer his real mind but only with the help of a planetwide superbeing Eywa. They tried to with Grace but her body died and her soul went into the Avatar 's womb. And in the sequels Quaritch the clone must deal with his feelings about his old self dying and his new blue body being a different person.

>>213966408
The Offspring in Romulus looks more generic and boring and fails harder than the Newborn in Resurrection thoughbeit.

It's common sense. It's science fiction after all. It's a plot point that could happen but I don't think the series has the space for it. If it does, it would be waste of runtime trying to deal with it or it would come off half assed. If it isn't important, then it works as intended. Nibs psychotic break could very well have to do with her death anxiety, her lack of hormones to regular what her human side is feeling then going apeshit.

I think it would honestly be a waste of time if they tried to fully explore the implications of the kids dying after the transfer and it just being a copy. This isn't that show, it should stick to the Xeno, corpo wars, and only touch on the surface what it means to be human and sane by the hybrids.

>>213958093 (OP)
Why does every "soldier" look like Californian barista college student on their way to debate Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk? Did they literally coudn't find a single person with testosterone?

>>213966960
>if they tried to fully explore the implications of the kids dying after the transfer and it just being a copy
It would be boring, generic, and derivative. So yeah, I fully expect them to do it. I'll be happy if they do not though.

I'm really conflicted about the two ways this can go because they're both stupid

One's the easy stupid way - just ignore it, pretend it works. It's all scifi mumbo jumbo anyway, why can't it work? They just hit the blinky lights and the sick kid's soul moved into the robot, wallah

Two is the hard stupid way - actually the kid died and they made a copy. Isn't this a SHOCKING tweest?! Nobody could have ever seen that coming. In fact not even the world's greatest genius could have anticipated it!

Godamn it, considering how long the show spent explaining what fucking Peter Pan is to us, it's definitely gonna be the second one huh? They're going to congratulate themselves for "exploring consciousness and what makes 'you' you in a way fiction never has before"

At least we'll get this needle drop then

>>213967281
>>213967097
It's too safe of a well to drink from. I personally loved Kirsch's speech from the first episode. How humanity with all its advancements, have forgotten that they're still just animals no matter how long their stick becomes. I'd prefer it if it was just the hubris of trying to take that next leap in to human advancement was met with destruction, and what better companion for it than the Xeno's and the other specimens. That Prodigy's entire compound succumbs to these primal creatures and they end up just a meal for them. The best way to end it would be with Prodigy destroyed, their research going off different ways in to the other Corpos and if you want the "happy" ending, have Wendy survive to be the one taking names with the synths while she's the only hybrid left. Just another case of humanity running before it could walk.

I miss Raised by Wolves

?

>>213962315
it does melt

So far I'm liking this show a lot. Only thing I don't really like are
1. The occasional pop music intersected into scenes. It feels jarring and in direct contrast to the times the show is trying to keep an eerie and atmospheric sci-fi tone like the first movie
2. The flashbacks are dumb and unnecessary and they take me out of the story a bit. I'm glad they don't happen very often so this isn't a huge complaint, but showing the character's reminiscing about some old thing that happened in the past just feels so out of place with the rest of the story and it feels like it wasn't even important to show it would have been fine and more natural with the character just talking about their memories. It feels like too much of a tonal/medium shift from the sci-fi horror..
3. The Peter Pan allegories feel too on the nose and unrealistic.I would have liked it better if they were either more subtle and "coincidental" about it where you could piece together the allegory yourself by paying attention to some names and themes, or if they went the route of naming things after peter pan as a tongue in cheek autistic scientist joke but everything didn't just fit the mold of the peter pan story. The fact that they are both openly referencing it, and playing into their roles is what kind of breaks the illusion that I'm not watching a television show for me. I would have liked it if it was just the autistic manchild being named peter and the main girl being named wendy, and the other characters just being a stand in for the lost boys rather than outright stated and the lab being fucking called neverland while showing you fucking snipets of the original disney peter pan movie. Like bro, that's not a clever reference for smart people that's just giving people the fucking answer and expecting us to be intrigued.

Overall I still think the show so far is pretty damn entertaining and giving me a scenario that I think is very fun to watch, but the show definitely is lacking in subtle writing,

>>213967281
>I've never seen Legion or Fargo
the kids are dead, Boy Kavalier is going to say "I'm the victim here", Farouk is going to laugh while sipping an espresso, Kirsh is going to point finger guns at the Xenomorph and say "aces!" when it kills Boy K, then somebody's going to walk in and say "wat da heck?" or "O geez" when they see the body. then there's going to be a badass drum solo while the Weyland-Yutani goons engage in hijinks.
Wendy will probably lure the alien onto a spaceship and fly it into the sun while a Jeff Russo and Noah Hawley cover of Pink Floyd's "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" plays. Then Ash will call Yutani and say "I can help!"

>>213967446
I binged that because somebody mentioned it in this general a week or two ago and it's one of my favorite shows now
mother's last scene put such a bad taste in my mouth though, they could have at least made a comic to wrap it up for the audience or something

>>213967663
>The occasional pop music intersected into scenes
Yes, this is a Noah Hawley show. If Quentin Tarantula directed an Alien movie, there would be random funk songs, and Samuel Jackson would say "motherfucker".
>The Peter Pan allegories feel too on the nose and unrealistic. The fact that they are both openly referencing it, and playing into their roles is what kind of breaks the illusion that I'm not watching a television show for me.

>>213968041
>Shoudn't anyone with lethal weapon be somehow trained and threateaning?

In Prometheus, when Weyland is awakened there are 3 mercs in the room with him in addition to David and Ford.

But when Weyland goes to see The Last Engineer he only brings one merc with him. The other two don't do anything to help Weyland or Vickers, or to stop Janek from crashing the ship.

Plus I think at least one of them is a merc that is also killed in the weird Fifield garage scene where they seemingly kill off all the unnamed characters.

Is it a writing problem or was the film just edited poorly?

>>213968081
95% of security consist of teenage boys and girls forcibly consripted because of duty called?

>Aliens has been reduced to simps worshiping a strong woman
This series really fell off.

>>213968107
I know Ridley Scott said he'd never do one but I genuinely hope the studio pressures him to do a Director's Cut. I bet there's so much cut shit from that film we don't even know about.

>>213965992
>Alien vs Predator 2-pack,

This one? I had this too.

How the fuck do you make an Alien series so boring? The intro was actually alright but fuck me the whole synth with dying kids' brains thing is so fucking lame. Honestly would've preferred more stories like Prometheus but with decent scriptwriting and hacks like Lindelof being kept the fuck away. Insane how Alien Isolation has been the only enjoyable Alien media since AvP. Hell maybe even since the Fincher cut of Alien 3.

>>213968131
>consripted
?

>>213968179
I doubt it will happen unless he changes his mind. The studio seems content to sweep Prometheus under the rug after their meddling left the theatrical product a nonsensical mess.

>>213966080
>"Panther"

Panther is this one, which was cool, yeah it launched something from is back.

>>213968107
edited poorly. if you listen to the commentary track, during almost every interesting part of the movie, Ridley says something about how there was a bunch of material cut for pacing "because you just want to get to the next scene" which, I don't mean to tell the guy who got knighted for making movies how to tell his job, but maybe the audience should be let in on the characters' motivations and reasoning for doing what they're doing, and if the scene where the captain told Charlize Theron about the test site that got nuked back in the day, it would make more sense as to why he's so ready to kamikaze the Engineer ship.

Didn't they say in the last episode they turned male kids into grown women?
Which character is the troon?

>>213968271
What?

>>213968233
oh yeah, it was the "night cougar" - same sculpt, different color. and that's the Vasquez I've got in a box somewhere, so it was probably a two-pack.

>>213968256
Seems like his work went downhill after he was knighted.

>>213968229
Scott is mercurial so I wouldn't say it's set in stone that he would never do one. Over the years he's said a lot of bullshit and changed his mind about things a lot like most creative types. I don't think they'd ever do an extended cut for a standalone release but if they were to do a new box set one day I wonder if alt cuts of the most recent three films might be commissioned to entice people to buy, like with the old box set. Having said that, I don't know how much money they'd stand to make from physical media any more at this point.

>>213968307
That Vasquez figure is considered relatively rare. It goes from anywhere between $30-90 on condition

>>213967932
>Yes, and?
I'm saying the show has issues with immersion because of its lack of subtlety. The whole Peter Pan allegory thing where everyone is named after Peter Pan characters and acting out their characters from the Peter Pan story while making overt references to it while in a sci-fi setting feels like what I'd expect from an episode of Rick and Morty.

>>213968307

Ridley seems to be too concerned with how ADHD-riddled the audiences are now, you can also tell from the stuff he's said about Covenant and I think even Romulus.

>>213968323
He's something alright. He's just gotten so bad with his work in the last few years I think I'd rather he not bother. Don't want it getting a retarded filter like Napoleon.

>>213968271
They definitely could have done that if they wanted to but to my knowledge you're misremembering things and they didn't do that, pretty much all the adult avatars looked to be the same gender and ethnicity as the child that was transferred to them.

If they wanted to make this a story about coming to terms with your identity after changing bodies the concept was there for them to play with, luckily they disregarded that concept entirely in favor of telling a "forever young" story. I think in most circumstances telling the story of children finding out what it means to be an adult would be less interesting than a sci-fi version of contrasting identities, but people are SO fucking sick of identity related plotlines after having been constantly peddled that shit in modern television shows and movies lately

>>213968801
How/why do they still make these?

My headcanon is that the pressurized blood would repel projectile weapons kind of like how reactive armour works to divert AT weapons from penetrating the hull and killing everyone inside. The bullet pierces the exoskeleton, the blood immediately explodes outward with force, the bullet is either knocked away on glancing shots or most of its energy is absorbed trying to fight against the force of the blood. The pulse rifle rounds in Aliens were High Explosive which means that they aren't dependent on penetration depth or kinetic energy for effect, the payload detonating inside was enough to burst their carapaces open. With conventional bullets you'd either need rounds with a lot of mass to penetrate deep or sheer volume of fire in the hopes you can bleed off the pressurized exterior and start getting into the gooey insides.

>>213968919
I don't really see the point you're trying to make here anon. Aliens didn't have any plot points about identity or being forever young. It was just a kickass action movie.

>>213969025
>There's definitely something about dysmorphia in Alien: Earth's plot but it's approached from the opposite angle; the synth bodies are more or less just healthy adult versions of the original sick kid bodies to help them adjust more easily
Yeah I definitely don't dislike the concept they're playing here. The "lost boys" having to come to terms with being seen as adults while having the minds of children is imo an interesting concept, likewise is the idea of a manchild Peter Pan stand in being a mad scientist (though I still wish they would have been a bit more classy about it rather than beating us over the head with the fact that he's literally Peter Pan)

>>213969285
AIs are our friends.

>>213969267
wtf is this real?

>>213969310
I wasn't talking about the movie Aliens, I was just saying that "a sci-fi version of contrasting identities" has as much to do with the Alien universe as "a forever young" story, that is, not much.

>>213969236
kek, I love mundane concept being drawn as absolute horror

>>213969310
>any plot points about identity or being forever young
kek, this is how idiots see movies. "derrs guns shooty bang bang so is juss an action movie and nutting more!" You missed the entire arc about Ripley's life being destroyed, she has no place in that world now, nothing left, and her damn young daughter died of old age while she was gone. Her identity is destroyed and she's shattered by it. She only goes back as a chance to get some redemption then risks her empty life to save a surrogate daughter to feel whole again. But yeah, just watch the pew pew.

>>213963816
The blood of royalty

>>213969370
Ah, so you were doing the stonetoss comic joke.

I think the Alien franchise has always had artificial humans as the B-plot of the story though. First movie had the android betraying the crew to fulfill its mission, second movie had the android proving "not all androids", third movie had the Ceo showing up and showing that humanity can be worse than androids, 4th movie doesn't have much android stuff but it still has Ripley coming to terms with the fact that she isn't the same Ripley that died in 3.

Android was a big part of Promiscuous with the blonde fuccboy android, and androids was a big part of Romulus with the protagonists "adoptive brother".

>>213969364
Yes. When cornered cats do that dance to confuse bigger predators.

>>213969310
This is the first time I made the Peter Pan connection and now I feel stupid because they even showed footage of the film in the first episode. Yeah the Mark Zuckerberg character is Peter Pan for sure now that I think about it. And I wonder if Wendy is supposed to be Captian Hook? Because she "hooks" the alien with that pole thing. I think it's foreshadowing her rivalry with the tech boy with the cavalier attitude.

>>213969517
>4th movie doesn't have much android stuff
it has Call, her being revealed as an android, and establishes there was some android rebellion

>>213969414
>You missed the entire arc about Ripley's life being destroyed, she has no place in that world now, nothing left, and her damn young daughter died of old age while she was gone.
Or it could be that I kind of forgot seeing as that wasn't a really big focus of the movie and the movie is like 40 years old at this point.

>>213969558
>And I wonder if Wendy is supposed to be Captian Hook? Because she "hooks" the alien with that pole thing. I think it's foreshadowing her rivalry with the tech boy with the cavalier attitude
I know "media literacy" is a meme but holy shit dude come on it's a child's fairytale, this is like getting a cat in the hat allegory wrong

What was up with the Bishop II android in Alien 3?

Was Weyland-Yutani monitoring events on LV-426 and the Sulaco and knew Ripley had befriended Bishop?

>>213969571
Ah thanks. Yeah the Xenomorphs has always been the focus of these movies but living alongside artificial humans is hardly "irrelevant" to the alien franchise.

In Romulus, why did W.Y. leave that space station to float up there? Not only does it have aliens on it but it's going to crash on the planet so it poses a safety hazard to the colony below. How do they not know about it?

>>213969614
He wasn't an android, the make-up artist just overdid the ear and apologized later for making people confused.

Alien Isolation had the android Samuels who was based and a bro. Plus the Working Joes. They were awesome as a competing form of cheaper androids plus secondary antagonists that were creepy. I really hope they make an appearance in the show.

>>213969659
He was an android, it's pretty obvious. He also wasn't wearing cold-weather gear like the actual humans.

>>213969614
>>213969682
If he were an android, that would be white blood. And he literally uses it to show Ripley he is human because she thinks he's a droid. They made it extremely obvious that he's human.

>>213969611
What do you mean? When you connect the dots more and more it seems obvious that the Peter Pan reference is there. Like with the Lost Boys, they even show a clip of them when the kids are being transitioned to android bodies.

>>213969648

>>213969659
I too act completely normal after having the side of my head peeled off my skull

>>213969558
If this show has a "Captain Hook" then my current assumption would be that it's the Yutani corporation for the mere fact that they are in a rival relationship with Boy Kavalier (holy fuck I just learned that the first name of the autistic scientist is literally just "male child")

>>213969695
>android meant to trick someone has fake blood
Not that surprising.
Between easily surviving a crippling injury and not being dressed for the freezing temperatures like the other men, it's obvious he was an android.
What was he credited as again? Weyland?

>>213969743
>What was he credited as again? Weyland?

Bishop II.

Sounds like an android, I guess.

>>213969695
>>213969743
>>213969786
Lance Henrikson said the character was an android when interviewed.

>>213969558
>>213969734
if only there was a character with a metal arm to be Captain Hook.

>>213969812
No, he didn't. But they did literally state and show repeatedly on-screen that he is human. You are really dumb and desperate to push your headcanon.

>>213968417
By posting Berty B, I think Anon is suggesting that the entire point is to force the audience to see this very transparent quasi-pedo fantasy play out, and sit with the discomfort of simultaneously hoping for the characters to find themselves.

>>213968199
There's no tension because the inconsistency is clear with the alien killing entire crowds of civilians and gun wielding people but then when it comes to named characters it drops its spaghetti and ultimately gets beheaded by Wendy like she's an anime character.
With horror if the main characters have obvious plot armor it just gets boring. In Alien added to the mystery of the xenomorph was the mystery of writing in that you couldn't easily predict who would survive or not.

>>213969836
Yes, he did, in a 2004 interview. It's shown he's an android too. Dummy.

Okay so another evidence for the Wendy is Hook theory: One of the first things the character does is arm herself with a makeshift sword. Who else in Peter Pan wields a sword? Pic related.

>>213969823
Oh, that's a very fair point anon. I assumed it was Yutani because Kavalier was being a smug thorn in their sides interacting with them which was kind of the relationship Peter Pan had with Captain Hook where he would just sort of smugly relish in being Hook's rival and outsmarting him while Hook is literally trying to kill him for being in his way.

>>213969743
>Between easily surviving a crippling injury and not being dressed for the freezing temperatures like the other men, it's obvious he was an android.

Alright. Like I said I do find the actual setting and allegory interesting, but it's my current feeling that it could have been done better and more immersive for the sci-fi horror atmosphere if it was less on the nose and more of a "oh I see what they might be doing here".

Cailee has zero charisma or screen presence but her movie is better than the show.

We saw an alien gestate in a dog (in Alien3).

Is there a lower limit on a mammal the facehugger will attempt to couple with?
Would it be able to do reptiles or just mammals?

Presumably (since David made it based on gootech) it is designed to interact with a specific type of target organism, namely humans or humanoids but I wonder what the extent of flexibility is when it comes to what it can gestate in.
It seems to take some traits of the house.

I wonder if you can couple it with a whale or an octopus or a snail or any avian creature.

>>213970386

The Peter Pan stuff feels so forced.

Alien & Aliens was very family friendly all things considered. That's probably why it caught on so fast.
The protagonist survives, the cat survives despite Ripley dropping it in front of the alien, the little girl survives, etc. it was actually subverting expectations.

Normally horror movies go HARD and give no shits if your girlfriend, wife, soon to be wed, your child, your favourite character, etc. gets killed. Alien 3 did true horror and that's what turned people off from the series. Same with AVP Requiem where everyone gets nuked.
Same with the AVP2 video game where the cat does die, The Thing's wolves do get absorbed, so on and so forth.

People ironically want safe horror.

It seems Jonesy inadvertently pulled a "can't give out no information" and stood up to a far more powerful adversary solely because he was too ignorant to feel any fear, right? If it had flipped out or hissed the alien surely would have killed it, but he didn't really get what he was looking at and played it cool so the alien didn't register him as prey. Or did a comic/novel or some other expanded universe slop make him an eldritch entity?

They had differing ideas for what was going on at the ending. On one hand, they wanted the xenomorph to have a short life cycle and its current form was dying. Which could have been that since it was a fresh newborn it was violent, but when it changes forms, it becomes more docile and intelligent. They usually have adult xenomorphs to guide them. It was annoyed by the blaring alarms, steam, and lights and went into the peaceful shuttle. Or it was tired and going into hibernation. They ended up just leaving it mysterious alien behavior why it went and crawled into the piping of the shuttle.
