This show is terrible, but the IP is so strong people can't not watch it.

>>214494072
I mean, who else is there? Wendy is a weird xeno furry, Nibs is craz, the MILF is as dry as the Sahara, Yutani looks like a middle aged yellow aunty, Siberian is monkey tier ugly...

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.

>>214494110
its worse than aliens and romulus but miles better than prometheus trash

>>214494110
Very true.

>>214494025
it’s a beauty mark senpai

>>214494059
These guys look so happy like they are on the set of a blockbuster movie. Were they lied to?

>>214494132
True.
Ridley has…. fallen.

>>214494120
>the MILF is as dry as the Sahara
It's funny how much effort they put into making Dame look young and Arthur look old instead of just casting a more age appropriate couple.

>>214493999 (OP)
>>made for Gen X
you don't understand us

EP.1 was KINO then the sharpest drop off in the history of tv shows

also

we're not into INCEST, that's Gen Z

Don't care much for the movies but the show is great

What is your favourite scene in all of Alien? Webm related for me.

>>214494262
That's honestly sad if you can't appreciate the aesthetics of the other films and just latch on to the first memberberry thing that reiterates the original film. People like you ushered in the Star Wars sequels.

>>214494345
unironically

>>214494345
seeing that for the first time in the theater must have been horrifying and exhilarating, even later on if you have never seen the movie, what a shot

>>214494345
I like all of Aliens

>>214494390
based coomer desu

This show is fucking terrible yet I keep watching it. The eyeball is the best character.

>>214494435
so say we all

>>214494435
Baby Xenomorph is best character!

>>214494345
There’s a scene in the original Alien after Brett gets taken where the crew is talking and Parker is saying the alien is like a man

There’s a cut to Dallas and the look on his face is pure exhaustion mixed with fear and it’s one of my favourite shots in the franchise

>>214494461

Fuck me they went full retard.
Robot Is gonna feed robot parts to robot eating alien by walking straight into the room.

But he's a kid. Fine.

But why did the fucking scientist open that door? He saw the kid was dead. The robot eaten by the robot eating aliens...

Why the fuck did they not add active monitorinf to their robots? Super expensive and shut and not even add a fucking automation "if robot is unresponsive then send critical notification to phone"

>>214494357
>the other films
the first 3 have the OG aesthetic
resurrection has that 1990s grimy gross look to it
the 2 David ones have that soulles apple sleek aesthetic
romulus goes back to the OG
Earth is a mix, but the OG parts are by far the best ones

???

>>214494778
No black goo on Alien Erf, just Teng's white goo.

>>214493999 (OP)
she's like 12 you nonce.

Anyway, do you think they gave the hybrid synths genitalia to help with their psychology? Especially if one went nuts and thought she were pregnant, one must assume they have an inkling about the birds and the bees

>>214494818
damn I thought that was moner from romulus

How would RDA SecOps fare against Xenos?

>>214494836
>do you think they gave the hybrid synths genitalia to help with their psychology?
Totally, they gave them similar bodies (race, phenotype, etc) and they're also the beta test and future live advertisement to sell a product, nobody would buy a mind transfer to live forever as an eunuch.

>>214494865
not very well

>>214494126
Are you me?

>>214494865
it's more interesting to think how the xenos would fare on pandora. Poorly I guess

>>214494915
that looks like the na'vi aren't faring well

>>214494953

They'd probably overrun it. All the wildlife is facehugger-fodder.

>>214494983
facehuggers are too small they won't fit

>>214494953
Xenomorphs would likely thrive and become an extinction-level threat on Pandora. Eywa couldn't even stop humans that operate with an ROE from building a city.

>>214494953
>planet full of hippie retards that will try to "commune" with the facehugger
100% full alien planet in a week or two.

>>214495012

doubt it

>>214494956
The RDA can't handle Na'vi. They sure as hell can't handle xenomorph na'vi

>>214495012
These gay'vi dudes are smaller than the jokey, they're fucked.

>>214494087
She’ll be attacked and melted by the flies or dismembered by the plant probably or be killed by the redhead ( probably t ocellus controlled)

It’s a fuckin alien movie. In all the movies everyone dies and the sole female survives. Predictable. Xenonorph always wins for the plot…

>>214494865
They'd just gun xenos down

>>214495044
RDA massacred Na'vi, it was Eywa that stopped them once

Alien one of the films of all time?

>>214494087
I hope you get culturally enriched on the train you faggot

Plot twist: Wendy is "the real monster" and Curly becomes the new ripley to stop her from spreading the xenomorphs

>>214495194
Say that to me IRL and not online and see what happens mother fucker bastard benchod

>>214495281
>wendy becomes the kerrigan of the xenomorphs

>>214495330
That would be such a stupid direction for them to take the series, that I can believe they will do it. They were already having David do essentially the same thing.

>>214493999 (OP)
Has anyone come up with a single reason yet why this isn't set after the first 3 movies?

>>214494930
Man. pretty girls are so lucky

>>214495380
Because the creators take sick pleasure in retconning decades of lore with their own fanfiction

>>214495361
>that I can believe they will do it.
Make Wendy evil? Would love it but it will never happen. Wendy's gonna side with her pet xenomorph and we're going to be expected to root for her and believe xenos are good boys that dindu nuthin and humans are the REAL bad guys

>>214495478
Humans are the bad guys, but that still doesn't mean there isn't something far worse.

Is there any Alien stuff that goes past Resurrection? I know the Original Sins or whatever is called novel, but anything else?

>>214495380
yes, Hawley is retarded and has no idea what he is doing

>>214495380
They got it into their heads that a few things are set in concrete:
>Nothing happens after/near/between movie's 2, 3 & 4.
>Every encounter with aliens has to be led by a strong woman with an inept team.
>There have been 10,000 previous encounters with aliens, but it's ok, they're still totally scary and unknown!

>>214495503
>Books set after the movie
Alien Resurrection (1997) include the novel Alien: Sea of Sorrows by Alex White, which serves as a direct follow-up, and others like Alien: Echo, Alien: Inferno's Fall, and Alien: Into Charybdis, which explore different storylines within the Alien universe.

>>214495505
ridley really fucked the series lol

>>214493999 (OP)
The show would be better off if it was just Wendy and perhaps they used Kirsch's curiosity or Boy Kavalier's mix of curiousity+hubris to set wacky horror shenanigans in motion. I guess they didn't want to do another "the synth is bad" plot for like the 3rd or 4th time. The lost boys are just uninteresting and seem to drop the collective IQ of everyone that's involved in one of their plots. Like they mindwipe Nibs and nobody's monitoring her behavior? Slightly just walks around talking on an outside connection and only Kirsch is aware of this (that we know so far)? Isaac gets souped and it's only found out because ironically someone was trying to disable the hybrids tracking?

>>214495503
nothing goes past it since it's not canon

>>214494953
with the fauna there they would produce some miniboss behemoths

>>214494461
Baby Xneed

>>214495558
i will be pissed if they boot up another body for the black science boy

What's his endgame

>>214494345
I used to have movie classics channel on tv. I bet you they played Aliens directors cut almost once a weekend and I would have it on if I was home playing starcraft or whatever.
Finally watched this scene with subtitles now yesterday.
The whole time I thought hicks was yelling "where's Basky?"
He was yelling "Weirsbasky!"

>>214495734
how did it get there?

>>214495505
>>There have been 10,000 previous encounters with aliens, but it's ok, they're still totally scary and unknown
I kinda like this, like each time goes out with a big explosion or whatever that covers it up

Surely we were the true monsters all along.

>>214495799
The xenomorph carried it, as a prank.

>>214495505
This scene scares me whenever I see it. Imagine you forcibly enter hibernation for however many months/years with immense agitation/fear prior, you're probably gonna have a hellish nightmare that you won't be able to shake through the entire duration

>>214495825
I believe this

>>214495668
We're led to believe that the hybrids are immensely expensive so it's would be immensely stupid if there's just a spare waiting around and already configured (I assume it would need configuring unless they have all their "consciousnesses" stored somewhere). Can't believe they have an entire island dedicated to this project and at max 3 people in charge of actually monitoring them lmao.

>>214495853
>unless they have all their "consciousnesses" stored somewhere

That's what they did with NIbs

what's the deal with synthetics?

How would Kirsch have planned for the redditeyeball monster to bump the glass and cause the chain of events leading to breach etc? A lot left on chance there. I see people say this is a big brain plan that K and K are aware of but it just doesn't make much sense.

>>214495853
>>214495875
Nibz's conciousness is all in her head they just erased the last bit, like when I drink till black out every weekend and some week days

>>214495875
>That's what they did with NIbs
That's what I expected they'd do with Nibs, a simple overwrite, but they actually somehow erased her memories instead, my speed-watcher friend.

>>214495799
I put it there.

>>214495504
>>214495572
jesus christ this is sad

>>214495877
Vrille's arc was one of the best parts of the second season, goddamn little creepy. The kids' stories in RbW are miles above and more interesting than those tards in A:E

>>214496003
It's weird because I thought that dude was the only one Kirsch kind of "liked". I can see Kirsch letting little sanjays dirty egg plan unfold but the rest of this is just pure chaos on a "heavily secure facility" where the fuck is security.

>>214496003
maybe he was expecting that something minor happens but it all worked much better than expected. tun dun duuu

Isn't it it all packed quite closely together, apart from Resurrection (and AvP if you include that)?

>>214496117

there' not gonna be a police investigation with forensics lol

>>214496138
yes kek

>>214495505
>>Nothing happens after/near/between movie's 2, 3 & 4.
But there's a really big gap between 3 & 4. They should do something, if not multiple things, there.

>>214496138
No. There's almost 60 years between the first and second movie, which are the only canon entries.

>>214496003
>superhuman strength

He sees everyone dying and getting blackmailed and goes "huh interesting, lets see how this plays out"

>>214496150
internal investigation on why all their doors opened. then kirsh might get caught!
i don't know if he can even intentionally directly do that stuff because of his programming . have to like circumvent and plan and sheit.fool the programming in his head harddrive!

Not before having that "deep" conversation that Boy wanted.

>>214496426
What is the eye alien's name again?

>>214496426
I don't think he actually has a plan. The eyeball just thinks killing humans and fighting Xenomorphs is funny.
I mean he already has the sheep as a host right now. And it's not in any danger, so whatever. Dead humans, lmao.

The guy who plays Boy Kavalier would make a great Bond villain.

>>214496692
It’s a fuckin alien series. In all of the movies everyone dies and the sole female hero survives always survives and the male especially dies . Even in the fuckin games lmao . Like Scott said it’s a universal rule or sum shit.

Bet the brother will die and Wendy will miraculously survive the atomic blast escaping with the boat . While the island will be destroyed by yutani

>>214497423
Wendy is becoming the big evil Kerrigan. Way more of a supervillain than David ever was. Queen of the Xenomorphs.

>>214497423
They panned 4 seasons of this shit, even if they do nuke the island at the end of the seasons it's going to be too late with half of the cast and the aliens escape beforehand.

Just watched first 6 episodes and I've got some thoughts.

Good stuff
>Setting is well done- the aesthetics of the cities look pretty good and distinct from one another.
>Creatures are interesting - I like the apparent competition between the eyeball monster and the xenos.
>Actors do decent work with the material and actually sell grown men and women acting as kids without hamming it up too much.
>Ice Age 3 is now cannon in the Alien universe

The bad
>Too many fucking dissolve/fade shots. Whoever worked on post production needs to be banned from using that effect because it is fucking egregious.
>Character motivations are often retarded
>The score is all over the place.

Bit of a nitpick but the value of money also makes no sense in this show - The head of Prodigy is a trillionaire who just had several blocks of his city destroyed by a big fuck off spaceship. He agrees to a measly 20 billion compensation (from another trillionaire) for loss of life, repairing all of that damage, cleanup and to sell out the xenos. Fucking video game developers in the modern day sell for more than that.

>>214497423
I can recall at least one GIGACHAD male character who survived alongside the female protag

>>214497544
holy based

Season 2 should the the final days of Hadley's Hope.

8 episodes.

Ep1 Introduce characters, do some blue collar worker memeable stuff.

Ep 2 Facehugger on the dads face. Breakout.

Ep 3 First xenomorph abductions.

Ep 4 Colonists try to find out wtf is going on, more abductions, adult xeno killed and examined.

Ep 5 We get to see how a queen is formed. Colonists find out about nest and how they are reproducing via abductions.

Ep 6 Colonist security team tries to destroy nest. Gets rekt.

Ep 7 Xenos now have number advantage and colonists lack firepower. Full infiltration of base.

Ep 8 Last stand. Newt running around airducts gets chased. Ends with Sulaco arriving and xeno watching dropship land.

Doesn't matter that we already know what happens, this is true of all alien media. Add to lore by seeing how queen if formed and maybe some stuff with WY and Carter after comms lost.

>>214497697
just listen to the Alien: River of Pain audiodrama

>>214495089
Black goo or otherwise xeno biology infecting Eywa or parts of it would be really interesting.

>>214496642
You may be into something. You see, that eye is roughly the size of a tangerine.

>>214497697
That's the worst idea in the history of the alien franchise. And that's saying something. You dorks are truly brain damaged to suggest such a thing with a straight face.

>"the quote was from Asimov, you retard" replies cutecellus
ALMOST supremely based, but Kavalier said it was Asimov, when the mistake is that it's Clarke.

>>214497423
Hicks and Newt survived AND LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

>>214498218
yes

I like the theme of evolutionary arms race, Alien vs Eye, cyborgs vs Synths, that kind of thing.
but I like even more when they are subtle instead of in your face, the tall kid died because, despite having a near perfect body, he lacked the fear response of a real body and the analytical mind of a real synth, both would've avoided entering that enclosure with the flies, but not a hybrid, worst of both worlds.

>>214498379
Correct

>>214498379
now you see the problem

>>214498256
and superbroadband longrange data streaming

>>214498420
They better open with this line in the next episode.

>>214498379
It doesn't really matter. They're just making shit up as they go along anyway. In Alien '79, there were not other aliens ever discovered in the entire galaxy and they weren't sent to find anything specific. Just to investigate an unknown signal which could be valuable considering how scarce alien life is. It's only decades later that uncreatives need to shoehorn in that they have thousands of aliens all over all along!

>>214498475
>In Alien '79, there were not other aliens ever discovered

that's not true

>>214498420
that's a good point, anon

our fear responses in our brains/bodies are chemical, right? not just like observational/analytical?

>>214497697
people bashing this but honestly, i would welcome an alien show thats just aliens taking over a colony instead of some soap opera where psued writers want to tell some philosophical moral story or whatever

>>214498420
i liked how he died from shit writing that couldn't plausibly lead to the conclusion it set out for

I hope the reddit sheep dies, so you fuckers stfu about it

>>214498420

I hope they only make movies about the sheep from now on and retire the lame black dick monster forever more so you fuckers stfu about it

>>214498514
It's already confirmed that this series is just Hawley's AI/Transhumanism pet project, repackaged and bolted on to Aliens to make it popular.

>>214493999 (OP)
A few years ago this bitch got in hot water because she was being Australian calliing niggas faggots...i remember because i watched The Wilds where she lezzed out with that blonde bitch that is dating Tony Soprano's faggot son.

>>214498373
Right now It doesn’t do shit . It’s probably the evil plant which they showed in the trailer for predator badlands .

Impaling or eating people.

>>214498636
Wasn't that obvious after two episodes?

>>214498622
We need something that's about 4,000 years into the future, some high concept science fiction stuff.

I was thinking like 'space truckers take a wrong turn and wake up 4k years later'.

>>214498475
Hawley + Ridley did this to potentially springboard more spin-off shows into existence, which is why Earth sidelines the xenomorph as much as it does.
I can see it now...
>Alien: Androids
>Alien: Corporate Wars
>Alien: Creatures
>Alien: Office Politics
The possibilities are endless.

>>214498493
the kid clearly knew he was in danger he kept looking at the nest and was worried
just because he didn't shit himself doesn't mean he would walk inside instead of not walking inside
you don't need an analytical brain to not walk into a cage with a dangerous alien
it's a retarded take which is worthy of the writers
he's a kid not a fucking retard
the only dumber and more unnatural way of tossing the tray in would be if he walked in on his hands with his eyes closed
smart person wouldn't feed them at all
but since he wanted to prove his worth he could throw the junk through the open door and slam it
nobody would back into the chamber under any circumstances, even if they decided to walk in
he should be worried about it escaping just as much as getting hurt

>>214498518
you will bow to your sheep overlord

>>214498756
>Alien: Office Politics
So cool, imagine Mad Men but with high collars and square ties

>>214498622
It's a straight line that splits when David gets his 3K test subjects ad fucks off from the Alien universe forever.
It's not alternate timeline worthy yet, until Hawley fucks up established lore by not nuking retard Kavalier's island.

>>214498636
I had a feeling.
This whole show doesn't even feel like Alien, but more of a generic sci-fi horror pitch that parasitically latched on to the latter as producers had no faith of the concept working out on its own.

>>214498756
Eyelien: Earth

>>214493999 (OP)
Shame the series is getting progressivels dumber and dumber
Like we are approaching Covenant tier stupidity
Kirsh is the one and only redeeming factor the show has, until they fuck that up too ofc

>>214498704
Why not three million?

>>214498814
why do people even hate Burke? he was just doing his job.

>>214498622
Fucking hell, I forgot to include Romulus.

>>214498756
The term "Alien" will become more ambiguous than a direct reference to the xenos. They'll attempt to make it a pan term for any extraterrestrial lifeform featured, and eventually, a symbolic metaphor for fear of the unknown. By then, xenos will be forgotten & the franchise will transition to postmodernist storytelling in order to appeal to future generations.

>>214498894
He's a slimy little (((shill))) who wanted to kill children.

>>214499015
You're wrong.

Okay, look. What if that ship didn't even exist, huh? Did you ever think about that? He didn't know! So now, if he went in and made a major security issue out of it, everybody steps in. Administration steps in, and there are no exclusive rights for anybody; nobody wins. So he made a decision and it was... wrong. It was a bad call, anon. It was a bad call.

>>214497480
Obviously she does nothing important because none of what happens in this show has any impact to the world in the films set after it. Unless this show is some alternate timeline shit like AvP.

>>214499056
It's pretty much another AU like AvP and Prometheus

>>214499031
If women like Ripley hold political power no progress would ever be made, the longhouse. Burke is masculine solar energy, the faustian spirit seeking to extend the spear of humanity to the stars.

>>214494207
>the show is great
NTA but nothing that has a 95% critics rating on rotten tomatoes is great in the current year
genuinely wish I had as little brains and taste as you

>>214499086
>Prometheus
Still canon.

>>214499086
This is what pisses me off about "prequels". How about progressing the story from where it left off rather than trying to give back story or fill in the gaps which always fucks up the established lore.

>>214498876
Yes perfect. Aliens vs dinosaurs.

>>214499056
It's placed at just a couple of years prior to the Nostromo xeno encounter and there's still no FTL, it has to be an AU

>>214499138
in it's AU, yeah

>>214499139
people are creatively bankrupt

>>214499124
>95% critics rating
And the audience score is frozen at 71%.
It's another TLJ situation where the libtard critics praise the shitty agitprop again.

>>214499148
Despite these contradictions the creators will still say it is canon because they are dumber than a rock.

>>214499147
Anon, it was a Red Dwarf reference.

>>214499172
even 71% is abysmal if you consider how plebs gobble today's slop like it's god own cinematographic nectar

>>214499139
hacks can't continue the story they only have ideas how to remix what's already there
only sequels are ever canon

>>214499184
Aliens vs a Red Dwarf? I don't think they can win. Dinosaurs are more realistic.

>>214498876

>Sum Teng Wong

The Xenomorphs are biomechanical, right?
So will the flies attack them too?
And also, the flies seem really laser focsued on the Synths, maybe synths have some really rera metals in their heads that the flies like, or maybe it's just bad writing.

>>214499771
The fly did ignore Isaac's arm and focused on his head to spit on. As did the second one.
You may have something there.

>>214499771
Why do the flies eat synthetic oil?

>>214500264
gluten-free diet

>>214499771
No, what makes you think that?

>>214499771
>The Xenomorphs are biomechanical, right?
No they're Episcopalian.

>>214500539
i-Its at least half inch thick!

Now seriously, I hate the containment cells set design too, shit's beyond retarded.

Saw a youtuber saying that all the alien species in the show might have come from the Prometheus planet after the black goo leaked all over the place and made a bunch of lifeforms evolve.
it may become canon in a comic in the future, since Hawley has been pretty clear on not letting black goo shit affect the show, but maybe he's tricking us, for all I know, this show could end with Michael Fassbender looking directly at the camera and saying "I did it all!"

>>214500625
they don't have anything to do with prometheus which doesn't have anything to do with alien anyway

>>214500625
>Saw a youtuber saying something retarded
OK.

>>214500539
I mean if it's of sufficient thickness I don't see why not?
Granted Xenomorphs can punch right through the armored fused-quartz glass of a fucking future-APC's view window like it was punching through balsa wood.

>>214500698
Let's not act like comicbook writers are any smarter than youtubers, and for sure Marvel is putting out a new Alien comic after this show is done.

>>214494059
I want my whole house with a USCSS Maginot aesthetic

For me, it's Shaw

>>214500759
You want to live on Sevastopol?

>>214500625
That youtuber was fucking retarded, just like you for believing it.
There was no timetravel in Prometheus, dick for brains.

>>214498875
>Kirsh is the one and only redeeming factor the show has, until they fuck that up too ofc
and morrow

>>214494072
No. It will always be a Nibs board

earth also looks so fucking lame
they're ruining literally everything about alien

>>214499138
Is this canon timeline?

>>214500805
They should've had her tummy get way rounder as the thing was growing really fast.

>>214500816
I mean before the xeno chimping and the crash

>>214500951
Erath looks believable you can't have funky ayy cantinas and neon lights everywhere just because is le future

>>214499138
alien and aliens 50 years apart?

>>214500988
this series is the lamest shit on the planet

>>214496642
When the eyeball was in the crewmwmber's head and it fought the xeno, it let out a specfic sort of roar/call. Was it trying to call others of it's kind but didn't have backup and had to fight the xeno itself in an inferior human body? Or was it stupid enough to think that while manning a human body, it could go toe to toe with a much larger more fearsome creature?

>>214501007
It's good, you just keep whining in every thread for attention

>>214500940
It's just a phase and she'll be fine

>>214501028
if you can't tell this series is total shit from the first episode then you're low iq though
i only watch it to laugh, just now there was a scene with the stupid kid adults, the indian and the black one saying "man being adults suck!", we're 6 episodes in btw
top kek

>>214500625
>Saw a youtuber saying that all the alien species in the show might have come from the Prometheus planet after the black goo leaked all over the place and made a bunch of lifeforms evolve.
Bullshit.
>Prometheus = 2093
>Alien Earth = 2120
However...
>USS Maginot launch = 55 years prior (2065)
There's no way in hell that the crew of DEI hires would've stumbled upon LV-223 within that timeframe. The ticks, flies, and eyelean are just Resident Evil rip offs Hawley lumped in with his nepobaby anti-capitalistic fanfic. Nothing more.

>>214501001
>t. hasn't watched Aliens
Burke directly tells Ripley, to her face, that her escape craft was drifting for 57 years before they rescued her.

>>214494461
has anyone AI'd this to start dancing like space balls yet.

>>214501017
maybe the possibility of posessing a xenomorph before it's fully grown was just too good to pass up, and it wasn't in much real danger if it failed (like what happened)

>>214501490
No way it can possess something that not only lacks eyes, but has acid for blood.

>>214499185
I guarantee you 50% of the 71% are just into it because it looks good, the creatures are gross, its tense and the end credits have the best music of all time. 20% are Gen X.

>>214493999 (OP)
This line of dialogue was one of the clunkiest attempts at a conversation I've ever heard. It goes

>The monsters are here.
>Maybe. But if I'm here, at least I know
>Know what?
>Where they are...

Or you could say At Least I Know Where They Are!!!! It the exact same sentence just not weirdly split across two characters to eat up another 10 seconds!

OK got that off my chest.

This Morrow lifts Bonuses, this Morrow on the escape pod, this Morrow be a Ocellus collector, this Morrow collects specimens uphill, this Morrow packs Xenomorphs, he's a friend of Aarush’s, he feels the bonus that dare not speak Its name, he loves to scheme, he's of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, he indulges in the Prodigy vice, he has an cyborg sexual Instinct, he's fluent in Engineer, he's a refugee from Hadley’s Hope, he's on the wrong ship, he bats for the other company, he's insidious, he's 'one of if you catch my drift.

>>214501267
timeline doesnt make sense to me because they got ripley then brought her to the colony then she left that and went to the prison colony, all in the same year? all that stuff is that close together?

>>214494408
Dad rented Aliens when I was a little kid. My sister isn't into horror films but likes scifi so we invited her to watch with us. I think she screamed and cried for like a minute straight when this happened. We had to rewatch it later because we were so distracted by all of the commotion. Between her losing her fucking mind, my dad cackling like a jackass, and me trying to quiet down the two baying dogs startled thinking WW3 just crash landed on our heads we missed all the good shit that came after this scene. Good memory. Even greater movie.

>>214494865
If it’s just infantry probably not well, if we include AMP suits and their gunships the situation improves but I think it still ends in total RDA rape.

>>214495381
Cleary you’ve never listened to the Porno for Pyro’s song “Cursed Female”, also my prediction for the next song will be Porno for Pyro’s, hopefully it’s Black Girlfriend

>>214502002
>they got ripley then brought her to the colony then she left that and went to the prison colony, all in the same year
The Sulaco was a state of the art warship 60 years after Alien. It's FTL drive is WAY faster than a little escape pod.

>>214501079
What are the odds of them actually looking like aliens?!?

>>214502202
only if they're albino aliens since ninbs' nibs are an almost white pink

>>214501635
>We got a good thing going here. We're alive.
Bravo Nolan.

>>214500264
why do they eat raw metals/minerals?

I'm having a really hard time suspending my disbelief for the severe lack of supervision these priceless prototype hybrids have. Miss Yutani has more red robed personal guards than all the staff I've seen in Kids lab base. The most we have seen is when all the aliens were being delivered. Lots of staff were present. After that though we almost never see anyone. The lab couple had 1 or 2 assistants at a few points. There's the guys spraying the black shit. Then it's just kid, baldy, and synthman. Where's all the fucking personnel? They make it an active point to be able to see through their eyes but for some reason don't have people monitoring their activity 24/7 despite us constantly being reminded they are children that can barely follow orders.

>>214502239
And for the first time ever
I wished I were a window

What does Prodigy actually make, that makes them so powerful and rich?
Androids? Hyperdyne makes most of those.
So what the fuck do they make?

>>214502387
>okay so we have to have the Singh to impregnate someone with a facehugger
>how about Hermit
>FUCK YOU. No harm to Hermit!
>...okay, how about Low Sperm Count?
>Perfect! Now How do we get him into the lab?
>How about one of the other synths gets attacked in the lab and Low Sperm Count has to help him?
>Okay, but we already showed Wendy 1v1 a xenomorph, what could possibly harm a synth?
>How about The Fly™ eats metal and robotics?
>Perfect!
>So he gets attacked and then Low Sperm Count goes to help him out and then Singh opens the door to the xeno eggs.
>But didn't we already establish the eggs only open if a human is right beside them?
>It doesn't matter. Our audience won't care.

>>214501635

>>214502479
he was only a few feet away and the door for both cells was open, don't imagine it was a big stretch they could sense him nearby since we've seen eggs open from further away in other alien movies before
even some of the EU material has eggs opening when humans are pretty far away just to give facehuggers a chance at finding a host and starting a new hive or simply found roaming around

>>214502719
They're inside an enclosure with a door ajar. How do they sense him? In Alien and Aliens the eggs have things on the ground and a low level reactive mist to trigger them. None of that is on the lab floor outside the eggs chamber.

>>214502800
How about the loud ass warning alarm the door makes when it's unlocked

>>214502800
>They're inside an enclosure with a door ajar. How do they sense him? In Alien and Aliens the eggs have things on the ground and a low level reactive mist to trigger them. None of that is on the lab floor outside the eggs chamber.
The 'mist' is a sort of barrier designed to make the eggs harmless, Kane breaks the layer and that lets the egg wake up.

>>214502904
So why didn't they all hatch when the SPACESHIP crashed into the skyscraper? Did that not make a 'loud ass noise'?

I think Xenomorphs can tell eggs to hatch with their alien wi-fi, maybe the one in the enclosure told the eggs to hatch?

>>214502970
maybe they are shy

>>214501017
It was cornered and pulling a hail mary by attracting the xeno with noise. Best case scenario, it attracts the xenomorph and escapes while it murders Morrow. Worst case scenario (the actual outcome) the xeno goes after it instead and it loses, in which case it either tries to (unsuccessfully) take over the xeno or (successfully) escapes. Either way, sacrificing the current host was preferable to being killed or caught by the humans again so it didn't have much to lose.

>>214500539
It’s clearly transparent aluminium

>>214495504
I feel like this guy is going to be quietly fired and replaced if this show gets a second season.
Like what kind of showrunner outright says that some of the movies of the franchise are clearly not canon but his stupid show totally is?

>>214494435
I don't even think they're gonna do anything interesting with the "character".

The scene after the memory wipe is so stupid DID THEY NOT REALISE SHE WOULD KNOW IMMEDIATELY?

>>214505191
Thanks GPT

>>214500625
They need to get fassbender back as a cameo or some shit . The aliens clearly are a bioweapon of the engineers to wipe out a planet but leaving the infrastructure intact. We haven’t seen the true nature or power of the engineers yet . A species that is capable of creating such a bioweapon clearly has weapons or methods far more powerful than the xenomorph.

>>214505716
The fact that none of the scientists think "Hey, maybe we should warn the other kids about it and tell them to not bring up the crash and the traumatic events that led to her glitching out?"
nah, lets just stick her back in her room and let the kids talk.

>these kids are beyond valuable and also literal children
>but we don't really monitor them because ehhh whatever

oh man the more i read about this show the more i realize it really is a different timeline from the films
i thought the maginot crew were yutani but apparently they were weyland-yutani since the start based on all the WY logos on the ship, meaning the two companies merged half a century earlier in this timeline
and whats with the lack of FTL? the prometheus ship had FTL based on how it made its trip in 2 years, but now apparently FTL doesn't even exist yet in the alien universe.
i suppose i should've believed when hawley said he basically ignored the rest of the franchise while making the show.
it's a shame because i enjoy it but there's basically a negative amount of effort put into making it fit with the film continuity, while some shitty comics and other spinoff media seem to at least try to keep things consistent.

Is it just me or is the island a fucking ghost town?
WHERE ARE ALL THE WORKERS?

>>214506030
I had a weak idea that FTL technology may be fiercely guarded.
As in, WY has it, and maybe another big corp, but Prodigy and the rest may not.

>>214506091
They mention in the last episode that FTL doesn't exist, as Kirsch says Wendy might invent it

>>214506130
That's what I said. If WY is bogarting the tech, and refuses to share, then it needs to be discovered by someone else to be used.
So far, the only ships in space or any distance from the Earth have been WY.
Could be why there are self destructs on the ships. To prevent the tech from falling into outside hands.

>>214506091
maybe something like that could be headcanoned, but i think if they want to make this a multiple season show, they'd be better off re-editing the episodes with the continuity errors and reuploading them. no fun to look back at an alien tv show like this after watching it, if it just ignores the film continuity like some figurative spoiled little shit that cherry picks what it wants from an established franchise and makes its own thing with it.

>>214496003
>Flies kill the first hybrid

I do actually like this show, but what really fucking irks me is that every time I try to bring up how stupid literally all the characters are to a friend, he always responds with "Well, I think they're SUPPOSED to be kind of dumb and arrogant." And that's not limited to this show. It's annoying as shit. Like you can just make a point to show that a character is arrogant, and suddenly every redditor considers it a free pass for the character to do any nonsensical retarded shit. The genius prodigy kid does NOT feel like an genius who's too arrogant for his own good. He feels like a genuine moron not only in his reckless actions, but in the general things he says and does.

I watched it as a 10 year old in 1990 when it made its premiere on British TV. It was a sunday night, it started at 9pm and went on til about 11:30pm (it was the shortened TV version but ads pushed it over 2 hours). I don't know why my parents let me stay up and watch it, it literally gave me PTSD for weeks after and I couldn't sleep or be in a room by myself. I've always been a sensitive young man you see.

>>214497758
It's a rather popular idea, it's been done twice in comics (newts tale and one of the fire and stone connected ones), twice in books or audiodramas (river of pain, strange shapes).
