Imagine being Protomorph in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Danny McBride, you frickin' fierce, all delicious with your flabby body and horrific androgynous monster face. I would totally chase you, both my character and the real me." when all he really wants to do is thresh wheat on his farm. Like seriously imagine having to be Protomorph and not only try to break through that glass while Danny McBride flaunts his disgusting body in a pilot's chair, the favorable lighting barely concealing his ounce of weed and leathery skin, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while perfected perfected his scared face. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fricking visage but Danny's attitude as everyone on set tells him he's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, DANNY LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his fricking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been cultivating nothing but a healthy diet of Durum and hard winter wheats and later alleged rye grass for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies of you farm. You've never even imagined anything this fricking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out from under his hat as he breaths in and out to writhe frightened at you, Danny smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his "statuesque (for that is what he calls it)" beauty, the beauty he worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you squat there and endure, because you're fricking Protomorph. You're not going to lose your future harvest over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.
>This franchise has been beat to death
No, it hasn't. No one asked for Alien 3 to drive it off a cliff, and no one asked for Ridley to make some moronic unrelated reboots. Everyone wanted more Alien movies set around Alien/Aliens and have been waiting patiently. It's literally primed to finally return to form.
Sorry plebs, but Sir Ridley Scott is producing Alien: ROMVLVS and it's confirmed to have connections to his kino prequels.
>it's confirmed to have connections to his kino prequels.
This will upset the majority of Cinemaphile but I actually wanted a third film for the prequels to at least finish the fricking story they had set up. Instead, we just end on a cliffhanger that goes nowhere.

It's the same shit every time. Dimly lit space stations and other isolated places, chestbursters bursting out of chests and xenomorphs killing people, who have also become increasingly moronic as the movies have gone along.
Alien and Aliens did everything you could do with the concept. There will never be another truly great Alien movie because the only ones you could make have already been made. The concept of "Slasher movie in space" for Alien and "Marines in Nam' in space" for Aliens, are not broad or deep enough to have anything left to cover the originals didn't. The Alien worked as a Slasher villain or as a Viet-Kong like enemy specifically because it was unknown and unknown=scary. We know what the alien is now and everything about it, it's not scary anymore. The homosexual term "Xenomorph" (which I refuse to use) is the distillation of this. The whole point of it being "The Alien" is that we don't know what it is and can only refer to it with a vague generality and that builds suspense. "Xenomorph" is a dump quasi-proper noun that just makes it clear the Alien is no more "unknown" than a Klingon.

nta, but that's the most simplistic shit I've ever heard.

If the first Alien sequel had sucked you would have said the same thing that good sequels could not be done. Of course they can. You just need imagination and the ability to not right like a moron.

Today's lesson for you dipshit:
Know what you're talking about before you shoot off your wienersucking mouth.
You only 'dilute' shit if you keep adding shit of no substance because you're a shitty writer/artist.
The entire history of comics proves you wrong since classic characters have had shit added over decades to make them what they are today. Your moronic shit is like suggesting Spiderman should have stopped at the first issue. There have been plenty of shitty Spiderman stories, but it was always possible to write good ones and improve the character.
It's like saying a kino movie like 'The Thing' can't exist because it was based on a prior movie, and it would be some kind of sin to remake it or change anything.
Frickheads like you have zero idea a lot of the shit you love and think is so original is based on older works anyway. kys
It actually is the right time to make a copycat of the first two films but with zoomer actors in order to get zoomers interested in the franchise. It might not work but it's a smart business move.
the term "Xeno" and "morph" work perfectly fine in putting a name on the entity.
its incredibly vauge as a description but unique enough to be cool and actually accurate. love the irony of you saying "The homosexual term..." very meta.
Xenomorph was used first IIRC on Aliens, so I find odd you take issue with it. Is this an ESL issue? Because "xenomorph", while used specifically for these Aliens in our world, are used for any aliens in their world, of which they have encountered several (e.g. "bug hunt").
I don't get the hate Prometheus gets
It's the perfect example of a "dumb plot" movie. Without the characters making preposterous mistakes that defy their supposed characterization's sense of logic or rationale, there would be no movie. All these supposed geniuses act like they have double-digit IQs. The entire plot is an insult to the intelligence of even the most moronic of Alien fans... which is even more incomprehensible considering parts of the movie which aren't integral to the plot are well written, as well as the entirety of David.
b***h is the size of a fricking garden gnome ffs
She's 1.55 m. The problem is that she's pictured next to a guy who's 1.96 m.
They have never encountered any other aliens. That's canon. Bug hunt just means 'a waste of time'. They literally roll their eyes and scoff while discussing the possibility of encountering an alien lifeform. They mock Ripley's story of aliens. They mock Gorman for suggesting there's a xenomorph there (alien lifeform) and say it's a bug hunt (waste of time). It's ridiculous you're so stupid not to get this incredibly obvious point of the movie. Stop making up headcanon that they've encountered dozens of aliens beforehand yet somehow were still utterly unprepared and bewildered this time.
same reason people keep watching fast and the furious movies
it's something they know and can generally tolerate and they can say to their friends "it was good, but not as good as entry X, but still better than entry Y" then nod and go back to working for their boss
To be honest Sigourney wasn't athletic either, taller than Cailee for sure but she was a twig. It was never about pure physicality with Ripley, she was smart and resilient.
The best thing about Ripley is her character was an actual intelligent leader. Not the kind who is leader merely by virtue of rank, but who makes smart decisions and is the person people actually follow in a crisis.
You see in the first film she's third in command and knows her shit, takes responsibility, sticks to her guns about quarantine, makes decisions as necessary, etc.
But you really see it in the second film where people naturally follow her over Gorman and military rank or Burke's company executive authority isn't even a factor.
It feels so real because if your stuck in an elevator, or a plane crashed in the Alps with a bunch of random passengers, that's exactly the kind of dynamic that naturally happens. Ironically human beings start looking for someone to act as their collective Brain Bug, and some unexpected people can wind up fulfilling the role:
That kind of conflict is what makes it interesting, even Megatron needs Starscream.
Alien and Aliens has more in common with 'Flight of the Phoenix' (1965), that it does any second rate monster movie, and there's no monster in that at all:
?t=3330
>Plane crashes in the desert and a pack of gays have to find a solution to their predicament before they run out of water, there's some disagreement about the best course of action
Great film btw, avoid the shitty remake.
Basically, they need to make this kind of script where the character conflict stands on its own, and then add the alien as the threat, not the other way around. Them doing it backwards is why you keep getting stupid tacked-on alien lore and new uber Indominous Rex aliens that turn invisible and have to fight other good aliens trained by Star Lord to stop robot Magneto from taking over the universe or whatever, where all the characters are cardboard cutouts.
I mean, Weaver wasn't exactly beautiful or pretty but at least was beliavable to be playing a hardass woman with nothing to lose. This b***h looks chubby and harmless.
>every Alien movie has some scene of a dude getting throat fricked by the Alien's BBC
The original design was literally based on wieners, the designer said so himself. He wanted a creature terrifying that causes people to think of being raped.
Source? In aliens the tail between the legs is from Brett's death since lambert has cowboy boots on and white pants. It was Brett in sneakers and blue pants.
The alien impaled her on its stinger, it just went up her crotch and jabbed all the way through, that’s even a finisher in the Alien Vs Predator games as an alien, there’s a few finishers but one of them when you grab someone you stick your tail up their ass and out their mouth shishkabobbing them. It’s not like the alien took its pants off and had non-consensual sexual intercourse with her, it just fricking gutted and killed her.

God please stop I am diamonds
I can't remember the source but an anon posted a whole bunch of caps and articles about the original designer wanting to design a rape machine basically.
He's being ironic. Giger was the opposite of "devout christian" and all about the gratuitous sexual, pornographic imagery that would shock normies. And yeah, everything was about rape to unsettle viewers
I think he's talking about Dan O'Bannon's ideas for the monster and its life cycle, Giger just liked to draw dicks so his art was a perfect match for the movie.
His entire head is a shape of a dick and that head has a smaller dick inside it. The facehugger shoves a dick down your throat. Robots roll porn mags up and shove them down your throat. You yourself are a dick when you walk through huge vegana doors. Everything is a dick in alien.
You don’t even need to take Giger’s word for it, just look at the Necronomican IV painting that was the basis for the alien or at the rest of Ginger’s work to see the man was obsessed with wieners.
The facehugger is a vegana, moron.
Also, the egg opening was originally supposed to be a vegana but the studio said no. Giver was completely coom-brained.
based and true but xenomorph frickers have coped themselves into thinking its not so they arent gay for wanting to frick the monster whos entire design was meant to be phallic
I like the return of the old aesthetics. Modern sci-fi aesthetics where everything is white and clean is so boring. Bring back the industrial grunge of the 80s and 90s.
I'm 40 years old. I don't know about the quality of the movie, I'm just appreciating its aesthetics because in Alien it goes way beyond simple nostalgia. It's fundamentally integral to the franchise.
I know everybody is tentatively hoping that this film will be good after so much dreck and because of goodwill to Fede who made some good movies but I'm just going to say it. This looks stupid and is a dilution of the concept. Alien was good because of the distortion and perversion of sexuality. Having an alien facehugger clamp around your face in some sort of horrific amalgam of veganal and penile oral rape was interesting. Straight up showing a close-up of a wiener down someone's throat is artistically bankrupt
>another attempt to emulate the first film's set that doesn't look gritty or grimy enough >another woman hero survivor larping as ripley that completely fails to shock or surprise like the first film did because we all expect it now (seriously it would be more shocking if the woman died at this point) >another trying to reinvent the wheel with alien rape ideas that just seems bland and uninspired compared to the original because nobody can match giger's levels of degeneracy and perversion
literally the only films that should have gotten made were alien, aliens, and resurrection. that's it
>ywn be a space jockey melded to a chair whose entire life is to swivel your giant penis gun around in a circle, line it up with a particular veganal orifice on the wall, and jerk off until you cum squirting your alien goop into that hole, which gives instructions to the ship on what to do
Incorrect. That is a Space Jockey who is biologically attached to that chair and unable to leave. His entire existence is to pilot and mange the ship from that station.
It's been dead long enough to fossilize so they couldn't ask it why. And before they could attempt to find any living jockeys, they were killed off by an alien parasite. It seems we'll never know.
Yep. Why go through the long process of creating a machine when you already have the know-how to create jockeys and a guy right there who is willing and able to become a jockey? Anon wants to reinvent the wheel when you don't need to fix what ain't broke.
It's been dead long enough to fossilize so they couldn't ask it why. And before they could attempt to find any living jockeys, they were killed off by an alien parasite. It seems we'll never know.
For me it's incredible that the space jockey, in spite of being so technologically advanced, couldn't just shake off the chestburster. Just replace the blood loss and grow some new organs. No auto-surgery programs on that ship?
I’ve always thought of them as a post-Singularity species. In other words, that thing in/on/part of the chair is just a meat puppet. The consciousness controlling it fled back into the ship’s network the instant there was trouble. I never looked on the infected jockey as the cause of the crash, just an overt symptom of a deeper problem. For all we know, that’s not even the helm, just an observation port where the species can experience space travel like their more primitive organic ancestors experienced it.
I always saw them as something not just more advanced, but inconceivably more advanced, wielding the sort of tech that would still be at least semi-functional long after organic material had time to fossilize.
That's just a lot of headcanon trying to make it better and more mysterious than it actually is. It was just a cargo ship like any normal human cargo ship. It was carrying alien eggs, not in any way connected to Earth nor bioweapon to attack humanity, and one of them got loose. The only thing unusual and creepy about it being that the Jockey is melded with the chair and has semi-organic technology.

I always took that to be a result of the xenomorphs. Find a niche to lay the eggs and then exhude the gas to keep them protected. Or the eggs give it off and something alive breaking through will wake the facehuggers up.

The Engineers are just a bunch of larpers, it's an old sci-fi trope.
It's funny that people can't wrap their heads around a concept as simple as "they changed the design a bit". Do you also create separate canons when a character is recast? Cameron changed the xeno suit quite a lot and nobody cares.
I still don't see the problem. Maybe the engineers used to grow themselves bigger, it's not the kind of thing that completely ruins the "lore".

Rildey Scott does not believe in subtlety or nuance. There are no "maybes" when he talks about the prequels. X is always X because that is how X appears on screen. When David says he's going to fkly to their homeworld and wipe out the entire Engineer race, that's what he meant, and that's what Ridley Scott intended. If you enjoyed the prequels specifically because of the Engie parts then you would be supremely disappointed in a third one. The Engies are dead. They used to be huge, but made themselves smaller for some reason, but still use the same size space ships. And well.. it all makes sense if you "maybe" everything.

My god, she really can't act and I saw that from this one short glimpse but at least it seems that she dies early which could mean that it might be a good movie
they are running with a brother/sister theme for the movie in the same way covenant had a husband/wife theme amongst it's characters, or in some cases people were just gay
from what i've read the main character is a sister to the android brother who comes from a places that doesn't take kindly to droids
they were part of the company security team, i get what you mean but their cargo was 2k+ colonists + embryos so realistically having one or two gay couples wouldn't really matter in the big picture unless the entire cargo of sleeping colonists were lost and at that point the security guys wouldn't likely know how to setup the colony anyway since they were just the hired guns
The space jockey is david after he redesigned himself into the image of the engineers. Using his biomechanical shenanigans he imagined an entity that was a fusion of engineer and their technology and transferred his consciousness into it
God, this would've been kino. Ridley actually showed Disney the script of his third prequel but they thought it was too weird and now we'll never see it.

I read like a dozen of the Aliens books when I was in middle school. There was one where a team would send a guy with a mask and tracking device on to get capture by an alien and brought to the center of the hive to be impregnated by a facehugger. Because he had a mask on they couldn't actually do it but one time an alien just ripped the mask off and the guy was fricked. Anyways, they would use the tracking from the bait guy to send in a large powersuited mech with flamethrowers and guns and shit to kill all the aliens and the queen. Everyone thought the mech was powered by AI but it turned out there was a shriveled up person inside it that was practically drilled and nailed into it like a coffin to power the mech.
The books get really dumb. They use the "jelly" from the queens sack as a drug and everyone gets high off of it and a company sends a team of mercs to the alien homeworld to go and collect a bunch of queen jelly. The aliens have their own little wars with different colonies attacking one another and the mercs have armor that fizzles out and absorbs the acid of their blood so they can shoot them and get covered in the stuff.
Still would make a better movie than prometheus. There's even one where they capture a queen and a bunch of warriors and attach cameras and shit to them and train them to use guns. Needless to say the queen escapes and the warriors kill everyone.

The best part is that one of the characters has to pilot the mech so after removing the shriveled up body he gets in and then these drills go into his brain and link up with the mech. As time goes by he starts to become more machine than man as the mech takes over his mind.
I believe these same characters from the Aliens books end up teaming up with Machiko Nagochi from the predator books/comics. Like the Mech ends up in the jungles or some shit.
I read a lot of the Aliens, Predator, and Aliens Vs Predator books when I was a kid. I still have them. There's like 30 of the fricking things.
The original AvP comics with Machiko Nagochi are all pretty well praised. It actually makes sense when she teams up with the predator. The movies took a few ideas from the comics like the scene where they use alien blood to mark their foreheads when they become full hunters.

The sequel wasn't bad either. It's basically where Predators with brody got it's idea from. Humans make a reserve where rich hunters kill genetically engineered big game including a T-Rex. The predators find the planet and it's like the best thing they have ever found in their lives. Theres a lot of Yautja lore in that one with Machiko explaining her daily life on the ship and how the predators interact and live.
That was from avp war if we are thinking of the same thing. The comic was less graphic with how it mind melted the pilot but it did touch on that. The douche corpo guy who gets facehugged near the end winds up stuffed into the armor and let loose till either his mind melts or the alien explodes from inside him to help cover the cast's retreat.
Watch the first 2, then watch 3 if you really liked the first 2 and don’t watch any more Alien movies.
If you really liked Alien’s grungy used-future style, the 1981 movie Outland with Sean Connery had a lot of the Alien production crew and the movie looks very similar. Unfortunately, it’s not a very good movie.
Can we PLEASE just once (1) have an Alien movie will all these sick xenomorphs they used to sell toys for? You can make an entire movie around the idea of facehuggers infecting all sorts of animals for the sake of it, and a horror/gore movie like Romulus was the perfect opportunity to do it. It's like the people producing these just refuse to make billions.
I will never stop seething about Ridley Scott being so butthurt about the concept art that he got this movie killed so he could made the (pretty) pieces of shit that were Prometheus and Covenant.
No, he knows that was the best thing for the Alien franchise. There was far more potential for the story at that point and it was completely imbecilic to kill it off with Alien 3. Alien could have had a half dozen more awesome 90's/00's movies if not for letting morons take the reigns.
>Alien could have had a half dozen more awesome 90's/00's movies if not for letting morons take the reigns.
A bunch of generic action sequels following Aliens would have sucked ass, especially in that era. Much better that we got nihilist Alien 3 and weirdo french Alien Resurrection despite their flaws
They don't have to be canon, making every movie afterwards follow suit. It can just be a one off that would have fun with the concept. All the alien stories were better in the past when they could explore whatever idea they wanted without having to worry about continuity

I fricking loved my alien toys. I would take them with me to kindergarten. Every since I was 4 years old Alien and Aliens have been my favorite movies. I would watch them over and over and practically wore out the tapes. My parents didn't give a frick about the violence or language.
No one wants it, but unfortunately hauntology took over western culture, so we're stuck in this neverending regurgitation of old shit repurposed for modern audiences.

I don't really mind it. I like original ideas but recent movies have mostly sucked. In a horror movie like Alien all the diversity casting and such doesn't matter because nobody minds minorities getting face raped by space crabs or ripped about by alien monsters darker than them.

I would totally chase you, both my character and the real me." when all he really wants to do is thresh wheat on his farm. Like seriously imagine having to be Protomorph and not only try to break through that glass while Danny McBride flaunts his disgusting body in a pilot's chair, the favorable lighting barely concealing his ounce of weed and leathery skin, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while perfected perfected his scared face. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fricking visage but Danny's attitude as everyone on set tells him he's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, DANNY LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his fricking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been cultivating nothing but a healthy diet of Durum and hard winter wheats and later alleged rye grass for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies of you farm. You've never even imagined anything this fricking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out from under his hat as he breaths in and out to writhe frightened at you, Danny smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his "statuesque (for that is what he calls it)" beauty, the beauty he worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you squat there and endure, because you're fricking Protomorph. You're not going to lose your future harvest over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.
Sorry plebs, but Sir Ridley Scott is producing Alien: ROMVLVS and it's confirmed to have connections to his kino prequels.
>it's confirmed to have connections to his kino prequels.
This will upset the majority of Cinemaphile but I actually wanted a third film for the prequels to at least finish the fricking story they had set up. Instead, we just end on a cliffhanger that goes nowhere.
The new movie is set between Alien and Aliens so we might get a bit of closure at least.
Alien?
I expect Romulus to be average and entertaining, but the TV show to be utter non-canon trash
Based on everything we know about them so far I believe you're right.
I expect much, much less than even that, anon.
Sexy tomboy caileefu.
Romulus will be generic zoomer trash.
This franchise has been beat to death so many times that I don't understand why people still have hopes for this shit.
>This franchise has been beat to death
No, it hasn't. No one asked for Alien 3 to drive it off a cliff, and no one asked for Ridley to make some moronic unrelated reboots. Everyone wanted more Alien movies set around Alien/Aliens and have been waiting patiently. It's literally primed to finally return to form.
Alien 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>< AlienS
Shit take.
>No, it hasn't. No one asked for Alien 3 to drive it off a cliff, and no one asked for Ridley to make some moronic unrelated reboots. Everyone wanted more Alien movies set around Alien/Aliens and have been waiting patiently. It's literally primed to finally return to form.
It's the same shit every time. Dimly lit space stations and other isolated places, chestbursters bursting out of chests and xenomorphs killing people, who have also become increasingly moronic as the movies have gone along.
>No one asked for Alien 3 to drive it off a cliff
The studio executives and producers definitely drove it off a cliff m8 by actively not giving a frick about anything
>muh marines
>muh pulse rifles
>muh hix and noot
Alien and Aliens did everything you could do with the concept. There will never be another truly great Alien movie because the only ones you could make have already been made. The concept of "Slasher movie in space" for Alien and "Marines in Nam' in space" for Aliens, are not broad or deep enough to have anything left to cover the originals didn't. The Alien worked as a Slasher villain or as a Viet-Kong like enemy specifically because it was unknown and unknown=scary. We know what the alien is now and everything about it, it's not scary anymore. The homosexual term "Xenomorph" (which I refuse to use) is the distillation of this. The whole point of it being "The Alien" is that we don't know what it is and can only refer to it with a vague generality and that builds suspense. "Xenomorph" is a dump quasi-proper noun that just makes it clear the Alien is no more "unknown" than a Klingon.
That's not true at all. You're just a very uncreative person, and I wouldn't care to watch any shitty movies you'd come up with.
You jsut wat unending franchises, homosexual
Talk about lack of imagination...
nta, but that's the most simplistic shit I've ever heard. 'Franchises am bad' is just as moronic as trying to make everything into an unending franchise, or other dumb shit like 'multiverses am bad', (if it weren't for a bunch of woke morons being in charge and destroying a good franchise, you'd be praising ALL multiverses right now like the simplistic idiot you are).
If the first Alien sequel had sucked you would have said the same thing that good sequels could not be done. Of course they can. You just need imagination and the ability to not right like a moron.
The anon you're responding to is right. Shut your prostitute mouth.
Frick off, moron.
Most things need to reach their natural end or they'll be diluted to no end.
Especially things that exist to be scary and unknown, which cannot last for more than few entries.
You are just a moron who laughs every time the same trite joke is told, like it was the first time
The scary and unknown aspect of Alien was lost after the original.
And that left only a movie like Aliens there to make, and nothing of value after that
Today's lesson for you dipshit:
Know what you're talking about before you shoot off your wienersucking mouth.
You only 'dilute' shit if you keep adding shit of no substance because you're a shitty writer/artist.
The entire history of comics proves you wrong since classic characters have had shit added over decades to make them what they are today. Your moronic shit is like suggesting Spiderman should have stopped at the first issue. There have been plenty of shitty Spiderman stories, but it was always possible to write good ones and improve the character.
It's like saying a kino movie like 'The Thing' can't exist because it was based on a prior movie, and it would be some kind of sin to remake it or change anything.
Frickheads like you have zero idea a lot of the shit you love and think is so original is based on older works anyway. kys
>Alien and Aliens did everything you could do with the concept.
No, you can always create more xenomorphs.
Also xenomorph on Earth (where's Alien 5?)
It actually is the right time to make a copycat of the first two films but with zoomer actors in order to get zoomers interested in the franchise. It might not work but it's a smart business move.
the term "Xeno" and "morph" work perfectly fine in putting a name on the entity.
its incredibly vauge as a description but unique enough to be cool and actually accurate. love the irony of you saying "The homosexual term..." very meta.
Xenomorph was used first IIRC on Aliens, so I find odd you take issue with it. Is this an ESL issue? Because "xenomorph", while used specifically for these Aliens in our world, are used for any aliens in their world, of which they have encountered several (e.g. "bug hunt").
It's the perfect example of a "dumb plot" movie. Without the characters making preposterous mistakes that defy their supposed characterization's sense of logic or rationale, there would be no movie. All these supposed geniuses act like they have double-digit IQs. The entire plot is an insult to the intelligence of even the most moronic of Alien fans... which is even more incomprehensible considering parts of the movie which aren't integral to the plot are well written, as well as the entirety of David.
She's 1.55 m. The problem is that she's pictured next to a guy who's 1.96 m.
They have never encountered any other aliens. That's canon. Bug hunt just means 'a waste of time'. They literally roll their eyes and scoff while discussing the possibility of encountering an alien lifeform. They mock Ripley's story of aliens. They mock Gorman for suggesting there's a xenomorph there (alien lifeform) and say it's a bug hunt (waste of time). It's ridiculous you're so stupid not to get this incredibly obvious point of the movie. Stop making up headcanon that they've encountered dozens of aliens beforehand yet somehow were still utterly unprepared and bewildered this time.
Alien 3 and Prometheus aren't great but they obliterate Cameron's dumb action strong wummun bullcrap
I don't get the hate Prometheus gets
It's ok to be tarded. I got cousins who are tarded. They still live kickass lives. You'll get there eventually.
same reason people keep watching fast and the furious movies
it's something they know and can generally tolerate and they can say to their friends "it was good, but not as good as entry X, but still better than entry Y" then nod and go back to working for their boss
> Those arms
She is so unathletic. Why are so many modern actresses so weak looking. She couldn't pick up a dumbell.
To be honest Sigourney wasn't athletic either, taller than Cailee for sure but she was a twig. It was never about pure physicality with Ripley, she was smart and resilient.
She's very smoll. I want to hug her.
The best thing about Ripley is her character was an actual intelligent leader. Not the kind who is leader merely by virtue of rank, but who makes smart decisions and is the person people actually follow in a crisis.
You see in the first film she's third in command and knows her shit, takes responsibility, sticks to her guns about quarantine, makes decisions as necessary, etc.
But you really see it in the second film where people naturally follow her over Gorman and military rank or Burke's company executive authority isn't even a factor.
It feels so real because if your stuck in an elevator, or a plane crashed in the Alps with a bunch of random passengers, that's exactly the kind of dynamic that naturally happens. Ironically human beings start looking for someone to act as their collective Brain Bug, and some unexpected people can wind up fulfilling the role:
Too bad those smart decisions are repeatedly overruled by Ash.
>Don't let him back on the ship
>*Lets him back on*
That kind of conflict is what makes it interesting, even Megatron needs Starscream.
Alien and Aliens has more in common with 'Flight of the Phoenix' (1965), that it does any second rate monster movie, and there's no monster in that at all:
?t=3330
>Plane crashes in the desert and a pack of gays have to find a solution to their predicament before they run out of water, there's some disagreement about the best course of action
Great film btw, avoid the shitty remake.
Basically, they need to make this kind of script where the character conflict stands on its own, and then add the alien as the threat, not the other way around. Them doing it backwards is why you keep getting stupid tacked-on alien lore and new uber Indominous Rex aliens that turn invisible and have to fight other good aliens trained by Star Lord to stop robot Magneto from taking over the universe or whatever, where all the characters are cardboard cutouts.
is this guy 7feet tall
or is she under 5feet tall?
Unironically all of the muscle milk sipping actresses have been blacklisted for their political views.
She looks like an ugly man.
M41A!
M41A!
Are they really that lazy that their just copying scenes from aliens?
Yes, the entire thing is nostalgia pandering.
What a totally uninspiring woman to cast as this movie's Ripley, jesus fricking christ Hollywood.
Fat ass b***h
How long until they make an alien/star wars crossover to try to keep the franchises alive?
I mean, Weaver wasn't exactly beautiful or pretty but at least was beliavable to be playing a hardass woman with nothing to lose. This b***h looks chubby and harmless.
>Weaver wasn't exactly beautiful or pretty
Would.
>I’M ACTING!
how is this bbc sleeve supposed to fight off an alien
She is going to lay on her back and spread her legs kinda like jiu jitsu
Muh dick says yes to that pic.
But my brain says another fricking Ripley rip off, can they try ANYTHING else?
>every Alien movie has some scene of a dude getting throat fricked by the Alien's BBC
The original design was literally based on wieners, the designer said so himself. He wanted a creature terrifying that causes people to think of being raped.
what are the other scenes you’re referring to or are you just a mutt sissy who loves porn
Lambert was anally raped by the alien
yes how does this backtracking relate the original post
Source? In aliens the tail between the legs is from Brett's death since lambert has cowboy boots on and white pants. It was Brett in sneakers and blue pants.
The alien impaled her on its stinger, it just went up her crotch and jabbed all the way through, that’s even a finisher in the Alien Vs Predator games as an alien, there’s a few finishers but one of them when you grab someone you stick your tail up their ass and out their mouth shishkabobbing them. It’s not like the alien took its pants off and had non-consensual sexual intercourse with her, it just fricking gutted and killed her.
>alien impaled her on its stinger, it just went up her crotch and jabbed all the way through, that’s even a finisher in the Alien Vs Predator games as an alien, there’s a few finishers but one of them when you grab someone you stick your tail up their ass and out their mouth shishkabobbing them
God please stop I am diamonds
That’s why she breathes rapidly before screaming one last time and dying, the alien is fricking her.
The facehugger is a vegana, moron.
More like a suggestive ovipositor
You confused thinking it's a dickhugger? veganas need to be impregnated. The facehugger is doing the impregnating.
Exactly, it's a big nuttsack with 2 balls (the 2 sacs) and a dick to impregnate your mouth.
That's kinda the point. Mixing and subverting to have a vegana that rapes people.
Yes, but you see women can rape too. Spermjacking is a thing.
but it shoves a tube down your throat too
Source? Sounds like complete bullshit to me. Probably a fake interview. I believe Giger was devout Christian.
I can't remember the source but an anon posted a whole bunch of caps and articles about the original designer wanting to design a rape machine basically.
He's being ironic. Giger was the opposite of "devout christian" and all about the gratuitous sexual, pornographic imagery that would shock normies. And yeah, everything was about rape to unsettle viewers
That's nothing. If you're going to show Giger's art that's an example of his obsession with peenies and gineys, show his fricking art.
>if Giger made appliances
This and several over of his paintings were based on pictures of him fricking his wife
I think he's talking about Dan O'Bannon's ideas for the monster and its life cycle, Giger just liked to draw dicks so his art was a perfect match for the movie.
He wrote an entire book on his artstyle and what influenced him, Christgay.
damn, zoomies really don't get sarcasm
It's really obvious to see once you look for it. Though I didn't get it as a kid at all.
The entire movie is just being chased by a giant dick monster. Then there is the scene where Ash forces a phallic object down Ripley's throat.
homie got a dick coming out his mouth, what a monster....
His entire head is a shape of a dick and that head has a smaller dick inside it. The facehugger shoves a dick down your throat. Robots roll porn mags up and shove them down your throat. You yourself are a dick when you walk through huge vegana doors. Everything is a dick in alien.
Ridley I kneel
and homosexual cumshots
The entire premise is about a man getting forcibly impregnated. How stupid are you
You don’t even need to take Giger’s word for it, just look at the Necronomican IV painting that was the basis for the alien or at the rest of Ginger’s work to see the man was obsessed with wieners.
Also, the egg opening was originally supposed to be a vegana but the studio said no. Giver was completely coom-brained.
Mutt's law
Yes
It's all an extensive allegory to the objective horror that is copulation and pregnancy
based and true but xenomorph frickers have coped themselves into thinking its not so they arent gay for wanting to frick the monster whos entire design was meant to be phallic
>*surprised pikachu face*
I like the return of the old aesthetics. Modern sci-fi aesthetics where everything is white and clean is so boring. Bring back the industrial grunge of the 80s and 90s.
memberberries in remakes is over ten years old now
you’re just a slop loving redditor
>old bad!
>new = slop!
>REDDIT EXISTS, HAAAAA!
How you holding up, champ?
I'm 40 years old. I don't know about the quality of the movie, I'm just appreciating its aesthetics because in Alien it goes way beyond simple nostalgia. It's fundamentally integral to the franchise.
Agreed. Sounds like they'll be bringing back the retro technology for a lot of it too
looks good. I now expect to be entertained and not lectured to.
>watch alien, AGAIN!
do you guys not get tired of this shit? does it not get repetitive?
No one is 'le tired' but your fat ass. You don't have to watch it.
It's just fascinating how people can consume the same story like 6 times without getting bored of it.
Will it be another "no-CGI" fiasco?
probably, but the clips of the remote-controlled face huggers running around set are pretty kino
We already know there are cgi facehuggers. Not a big deal.
There's literally remote controlled animatronic facehuggers that look exactly like in Aliens
That's fine. It's not every facehugger in the movie.
I know everybody is tentatively hoping that this film will be good after so much dreck and because of goodwill to Fede who made some good movies but I'm just going to say it. This looks stupid and is a dilution of the concept. Alien was good because of the distortion and perversion of sexuality. Having an alien facehugger clamp around your face in some sort of horrific amalgam of veganal and penile oral rape was interesting. Straight up showing a close-up of a wiener down someone's throat is artistically bankrupt
Is that screenshot supposed to be scary? It looks like an asian wiener. I've literally seen worse on Pornhub by amateur couples just fricking normally
I will no longer watch your film
Thats disgusting
The average pornhub thumbnail is worse than this kekeke
>run
>another attempt to emulate the first film's set that doesn't look gritty or grimy enough
>another woman hero survivor larping as ripley that completely fails to shock or surprise like the first film did because we all expect it now (seriously it would be more shocking if the woman died at this point)
>another trying to reinvent the wheel with alien rape ideas that just seems bland and uninspired compared to the original because nobody can match giger's levels of degeneracy and perversion
literally the only films that should have gotten made were alien, aliens, and resurrection. that's it
>Ridley Slop
>Fox (Yidsney)
>Zoom zoom jump scare horror director
Keep it.
>same old teaser and shill posting
I suppose when the full trailer comes out we'll see how cheap this production really is.
looks kino
is that moner getting mouth impregnated?
Either way we need more females getting ALIEN'd
looks fun
Regardless of how the movie turns out I unironically want an RC Facehugger.
I saw that on Twitter it got a lot of updoots
LMAO. There are couple of guys holding their heads and thinking: this is shit, we will need to replace it in post production.
one guy's on the phone and the other is a fat frick leaning on something, but you're a moron regardless, it'll have a layer of cgi no matter what
That tail looks too short to wrap around a human neck twice.
god i hope they didn't let ridley anywhere near the production
evil dead was kino and don't breathe was okay i guess, this could be great
>evil dead was kino
i thought it meant evil dead rise not the zoomer remake of the original my mistake
"some have said my work is strongly penile. A lot of women are intimidated by the word, finding that it makes them uncomfortable.
Penis."
Maude Geiger.
Underrated kek. We could probably rewrite the entire film to fit the Alien narative.
"He's a good man, Ridley. And thorough."
>Geiger
Looks like the end of a horse dick or a guy w/ NO girth. SAD!
>ywn be a space jockey melded to a chair whose entire life is to swivel your giant penis gun around in a circle, line it up with a particular veganal orifice on the wall, and jerk off until you cum squirting your alien goop into that hole, which gives instructions to the ship on what to do
That's a 6'4 proto-human, not a "space jockey" (whatever that is never heard that before)
>never heard that before
sad.
Incorrect. That is a Space Jockey who is biologically attached to that chair and unable to leave. His entire existence is to pilot and mange the ship from that station.
Why not just create a machine to do that?
It's been dead long enough to fossilize so they couldn't ask it why. And before they could attempt to find any living jockeys, they were killed off by an alien parasite. It seems we'll never know.
Why create a machine when you've got a space jockey?
Yep. Why go through the long process of creating a machine when you already have the know-how to create jockeys and a guy right there who is willing and able to become a jockey? Anon wants to reinvent the wheel when you don't need to fix what ain't broke.
No, that's a 6'4 pale human inside a 25ft tall piece of space armor. Did you not watch the prequels?
For me it's incredible that the space jockey, in spite of being so technologically advanced, couldn't just shake off the chestburster. Just replace the blood loss and grow some new organs. No auto-surgery programs on that ship?
Maybe he's just another space trucker that the Space Jockey equivalent of the Weyland-Yutani corp. doesn't give a shit about.
I’ve always thought of them as a post-Singularity species. In other words, that thing in/on/part of the chair is just a meat puppet. The consciousness controlling it fled back into the ship’s network the instant there was trouble. I never looked on the infected jockey as the cause of the crash, just an overt symptom of a deeper problem. For all we know, that’s not even the helm, just an observation port where the species can experience space travel like their more primitive organic ancestors experienced it.
I always saw them as something not just more advanced, but inconceivably more advanced, wielding the sort of tech that would still be at least semi-functional long after organic material had time to fossilize.
That's just a lot of headcanon trying to make it better and more mysterious than it actually is. It was just a cargo ship like any normal human cargo ship. It was carrying alien eggs, not in any way connected to Earth nor bioweapon to attack humanity, and one of them got loose. The only thing unusual and creepy about it being that the Jockey is melded with the chair and has semi-organic technology.
>It was carrying alien eggs
Using only the first film, do you think the point was the eggs were cargo, or was that an infestation?
Remember - this is before the concept of a queen laying eggs.
From the first film, I’d say cargo. When Ash enters what we think of as the “hold,” there’s that weird mist and the blue veil of light. I’ve always interpreted that to be some kind of stasis field that his entry inadvertently broke.
Hell the eggs are all neatly lined up. It's obvious they were being transported as cargo for whatever reason a space jockey has to transport eggs.
Alien Omelettes are an expensive delicacy
Kane was the one entering
>When Ash enters what we think of as the “hold,” there’s that weird mist and the blue veil of light.
I always took that to be a result of the xenomorphs. Find a niche to lay the eggs and then exhude the gas to keep them protected. Or the eggs give it off and something alive breaking through will wake the facehuggers up.
>Hell the eggs are all neatly lined up.
You ever see how insects or octopodes lay eggs?
Nice, neat little rows.
Stop being dumb, kek. It's incredibly obvious that it's a protective/sensor field for cargo in the hold.
It isnt and it makes no sense for them to be cargo.
Look at that pic again.
NOT neat rows - haphazard placement with complete lack of spatial efficiency.
That isnt cargo.
Aleins infested the ship, and laid their clutch in a nook.
>In other words, that thing in/on/part of the chair is just a meat puppet. The consciousness controlling it fled back into the ship’s network the instant there was trouble.
Hm, reminds me of some stuff from Scorn's art book. Being stuck in a stranded's ship network for so long might be worse than death.
i love this and would love to see it in a movie
Yep, as long as it's not connected to Alien or something existing
NECKLESS FREA-
Wait... I'm in the wrong thread
The Engineers are just a bunch of larpers, it's an old sci-fi trope.
It's funny that people can't wrap their heads around a concept as simple as "they changed the design a bit". Do you also create separate canons when a character is recast? Cameron changed the xeno suit quite a lot and nobody cares.
It's not "a bit" in this case, the Space Jockey is much bigger and biomechanoid.
I still don't see the problem. Maybe the engineers used to grow themselves bigger, it's not the kind of thing that completely ruins the "lore".
You dont see a difference between a dude in a spacesuit sitting in an overstuffed chair, and a biomechanoid living machine that was grown into place and whose entire existence is being part of a ship?
>Maybe the engineers used to
Rildey Scott does not believe in subtlety or nuance. There are no "maybes" when he talks about the prequels. X is always X because that is how X appears on screen. When David says he's going to fkly to their homeworld and wipe out the entire Engineer race, that's what he meant, and that's what Ridley Scott intended. If you enjoyed the prequels specifically because of the Engie parts then you would be supremely disappointed in a third one. The Engies are dead. They used to be huge, but made themselves smaller for some reason, but still use the same size space ships. And well.. it all makes sense if you "maybe" everything.
I don't want it to make sense. I want the sense of comic Lovecraftian horror back. I don't want to see how the magician does his trick; I want the magic act. And rape.
It's just that a biomechanical creature fused with its chair is more interesting than a big guy in a weird suit.
Farscape updated the idea by having the pilot be a symbiotic creature.
>living ship gets a better brain
>creatures that used to be barely mobile now get to navigate the stars
I really need to watch that show, it looks pretty soulful.
Wont derail the thread any more, but it's a great show. Very 2000s. Marvel's Starlord is basically a cheap knockoff of Crichton.
Yeah, prequels are shit and don't connect with the original, therefore they don't exist
This is the future Klaus Schwab wants for humanity.
Neet coomer energy.

He's actually a space gooner.
Holy shit that's a dog dick

CW Alien. Got it.
they are running with a brother/sister theme for the movie in the same way covenant had a husband/wife theme amongst it's characters, or in some cases people were just gay
from what i've read the main character is a sister to the android brother who comes from a places that doesn't take kindly to droids
>send team of gay lovers to repopulate a planet
KEK
they weren't gay when they sent them 😉
they were part of the company security team, i get what you mean but their cargo was 2k+ colonists + embryos so realistically having one or two gay couples wouldn't really matter in the big picture unless the entire cargo of sleeping colonists were lost and at that point the security guys wouldn't likely know how to setup the colony anyway since they were just the hired guns
>appears at the end of the movie and rapes the entire zoomer cast
Would it be kino?
n g l the ending to Covenant was based only because of him
>dude remember when Ridley used to hold a machine gun?? Look, we're doing the same thing!!
soulless
>SO, YOU LIKE FACEHUGGERS, EH? WELL! HAVE ALL THE FACEHUGGERS IN THE UNIVERSE! BWA HA HA HA!
OH BOY DICK SUCKING!
give me the best space jockey fan theories
The space jockey is david after he redesigned himself into the image of the engineers. Using his biomechanical shenanigans he imagined an entity that was a fusion of engineer and their technology and transferred his consciousness into it
God, this would've been kino. Ridley actually showed Disney the script of his third prequel but they thought it was too weird and now we'll never see it.
i would like we move on from ridley fan fiction but at least that's something that could have been interesting
I still want to see a xeno synth in the movies. It's cheesy, sure, but it makes total sense in universe to try it.

I read like a dozen of the Aliens books when I was in middle school. There was one where a team would send a guy with a mask and tracking device on to get capture by an alien and brought to the center of the hive to be impregnated by a facehugger. Because he had a mask on they couldn't actually do it but one time an alien just ripped the mask off and the guy was fricked. Anyways, they would use the tracking from the bait guy to send in a large powersuited mech with flamethrowers and guns and shit to kill all the aliens and the queen. Everyone thought the mech was powered by AI but it turned out there was a shriveled up person inside it that was practically drilled and nailed into it like a coffin to power the mech.
The books get really dumb. They use the "jelly" from the queens sack as a drug and everyone gets high off of it and a company sends a team of mercs to the alien homeworld to go and collect a bunch of queen jelly. The aliens have their own little wars with different colonies attacking one another and the mercs have armor that fizzles out and absorbs the acid of their blood so they can shoot them and get covered in the stuff.
Still would make a better movie than prometheus. There's even one where they capture a queen and a bunch of warriors and attach cameras and shit to them and train them to use guns. Needless to say the queen escapes and the warriors kill everyone.

do you have ANY IDEA what sort of rabbit hole you just propelled me into after casually just flinging out the term "40k dreadnought?"
you know how many god damned tabs i have open now? about the Space Wolves and Iron Hands and the fricking god damned Realm of Chaos?
Do you realize that ive just spend two (2) hours reading about some God Emperor and the freaking great rift and the fricking history of Terra? How could you just be so irresponsible to get me interested in Tyranids and the Dark Prince Slaanesh?
you are a real piece of work, guy. a REAL piece of work, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Sounds like a James Cameron plot. I’m sure the moronic Aliens fans would love it.
>Aliens = bad
lol
>gen-x man child upset that Ridley didn’t adapt his action figures into his films
>zoom zoom child that will never be adult is upset his unwanted addition to the series got rejected by everyone.
>Anyways, they would use the tracking from the bait guy to send in a large powersuited mech with flamethrowers and guns and shit to kill all the aliens and the queen. Everyone thought the mech was powered by AI but it turned out there was a shriveled up person inside it that was practically drilled and nailed into it like a coffin to power the mech.
That's MAX
>Wait, that's not an ai?!
>N-no...how horrific...
>...But why?
>What?
>Why isn't it an ai?
>What do you mean? It's not, it's a human, it was the only way to get it into the hive. We just thought it was an ai
>Right. But why didn't we just use an ai?
>I don't follow
>We have robots and powerful ai technology. Why didn't we send one of those in instead of a guy in a suit?
>Look, I don't think you understand how terrible and soul-shattering this discovery is
it just werks
The best part is that one of the characters has to pilot the mech so after removing the shriveled up body he gets in and then these drills go into his brain and link up with the mech. As time goes by he starts to become more machine than man as the mech takes over his mind.
I believe these same characters from the Aliens books end up teaming up with Machiko Nagochi from the predator books/comics. Like the Mech ends up in the jungles or some shit.
I read a lot of the Aliens, Predator, and Aliens Vs Predator books when I was a kid. I still have them. There's like 30 of the fricking things.
Any Predator book/comic recs? I'm interested in the Yautja.
The original AvP comics with Machiko Nagochi are all pretty well praised. It actually makes sense when she teams up with the predator. The movies took a few ideas from the comics like the scene where they use alien blood to mark their foreheads when they become full hunters.
The sequel wasn't bad either. It's basically where Predators with brody got it's idea from. Humans make a reserve where rich hunters kill genetically engineered big game including a T-Rex. The predators find the planet and it's like the best thing they have ever found in their lives. Theres a lot of Yautja lore in that one with Machiko explaining her daily life on the ship and how the predators interact and live.
That was from avp war if we are thinking of the same thing. The comic was less graphic with how it mind melted the pilot but it did touch on that. The douche corpo guy who gets facehugged near the end winds up stuffed into the armor and let loose till either his mind melts or the alien explodes from inside him to help cover the cast's retreat.
Has anyone told the Isabela Moner gay who keeps pretending she's Maisie Williams that she's in this movie
Should I watch the alien franchise? I never really watched them all or even in order.
Watch first 2, skip the rest until you get to Prometheus, watch that and Covenant. Watch AVP, skip AVP2.
>Prometheus, watch that and Covenant.
lmao, no
yes, gladly
Yeah, Alien threads are comfy. Tell us what you think if you do.
Watch the first 2, then watch 3 if you really liked the first 2 and don’t watch any more Alien movies.
If you really liked Alien’s grungy used-future style, the 1981 movie Outland with Sean Connery had a lot of the Alien production crew and the movie looks very similar. Unfortunately, it’s not a very good movie.
>missing out on Ridley Scott modern kino
>Outland with Sean Connery
I like it. It's 1:1 High Noon in space.
>Unfortunately, it’s not a very good movie.
It's great.
Also Alien 4 is also worth watching if you're not a pleb.
Real answere is:
watch Alien (theatrical) and Aliens (theatrical).
That's all. Stop there
some post the webm
It will be hard to follow the movie plot.
yooooooooo, alien and star trek hooked up?
Why does it look like action slop.
Because it will be.
Aliens was just really well-made action slop.
It will be a good movie
Can we PLEASE just once (1) have an Alien movie will all these sick xenomorphs they used to sell toys for? You can make an entire movie around the idea of facehuggers infecting all sorts of animals for the sake of it, and a horror/gore movie like Romulus was the perfect opportunity to do it. It's like the people producing these just refuse to make billions.
I had all of those. The snake alien was horrific.
For me it's the killer crab alien
Blomkamp's movie was gonna have ATAX
I will never stop seething about Ridley Scott being so butthurt about the concept art that he got this movie killed so he could made the (pretty) pieces of shit that were Prometheus and Covenant.
Blomkamp was butthurt about Alien 3 and wanted to retcon it so it serves him right.
No, he knows that was the best thing for the Alien franchise. There was far more potential for the story at that point and it was completely imbecilic to kill it off with Alien 3. Alien could have had a half dozen more awesome 90's/00's movies if not for letting morons take the reigns.
>Alien could have had a half dozen more awesome 90's/00's movies if not for letting morons take the reigns.
A bunch of generic action sequels following Aliens would have sucked ass, especially in that era. Much better that we got nihilist Alien 3 and weirdo french Alien Resurrection despite their flaws
>an Alien movie will all these sick xenomorphs
No, that is stupid and part of what killed Alien 3.
Just find and play the arcade game.
They don't have to be canon, making every movie afterwards follow suit. It can just be a one off that would have fun with the concept. All the alien stories were better in the past when they could explore whatever idea they wanted without having to worry about continuity
>It can just be a one off
I dont think that's legal in the franchise era.
STFU homosexual, I will drop kick you straight into a queen's nest.
I thought that's what Covenant was ramping up to, but like with almost everything else, it disappointed.
You say that, but then we got the Prometheus + Covenant retcon which were much worse, so in hindsight I would have taken my chances with him.
Pfft, the Queen's nest is an east level.
Grow up and stop buying into corporate toys. They ruin movies. Aliens shouldnt be Transformers.
I said I'd dropkick (you) into the nest, not the player's characters.
We're brothers in misery, you and I.
And I said I already beat that level. You couldnt lift your leg that high, anyway.
>I thought that's what Covenant was ramping up to
so much lost potential
Nothing was lost
As far as anyone is concerned, it's your toys that drove the franchise into the ground, homosexual.
Create your new franchise
>facehuggers infecting all sorts of animals
david experiments when?
>I hate Ridley Scott because he didn’t make movies based off my toys!!!
Aliens gen x’ers are drooling morons
>I will misconstrue and pretend what I write is what anon said to push my moronic take
The only drooling moron ITT is you.
It time to grow up. No one wants to see movies about your toys and you actually have the gall to believe you have better ideas than filmmaking legend Ridley Scott, you sniveling gen-x worm.
have you seen the last duel or napoleon?
Black person, I'm not Gen X to begin with, and you are the only one who reacted negatively to my post. Ridley Scott hasn't made a good movie in 20 years, and only massive homosexuals like you defend the trash he puts out nowadays.
>the world expanding Prometheus/Covenant ended up being mostly terrible
The idea was great. Literally no one thought Ridley Scott from all people would botch it. Twice.
Zoomie brain
I fricking loved my alien toys. I would take them with me to kindergarten. Every since I was 4 years old Alien and Aliens have been my favorite movies. I would watch them over and over and practically wore out the tapes. My parents didn't give a frick about the violence or language.
The little snippets of entirely cg-constructed scenes do not bode well for this
Why do people want to see the same shit over and over
>alien gets loose
>kills crew
>main character narrowly escapes
Because slasher movies still entertain.
Even moreso when the slasher has some gimmick, like being an alien on a spaceship.
No one wants it, but unfortunately hauntology took over western culture, so we're stuck in this neverending regurgitation of old shit repurposed for modern audiences.
People really like the alien and the universe’s visual style.
goregays never seem satisfied, it's why every slasher franchise has 20 repetitive sequels and they still want more. In the case of Aliens the world expanding Prometheus/Covenant ended up being mostly terrible and criticized so this low budget horror director was able e to pitch a "return to basics" approach to get his version funded.
why do you care what others enjoy? If you don't like it, go watch Marvelslop #34 which surely isn't the same shit over and over
kys franchisetard
Yeah... we know, this trailer came out a month ago.
Where is the webm?!
They have done that exact movie 4 or 5 times already. Do they expect people to go watch it a 6th?
I don't really mind it. I like original ideas but recent movies have mostly sucked. In a horror movie like Alien all the diversity casting and such doesn't matter because nobody minds minorities getting face raped by space crabs or ripped about by alien monsters darker than them.
I just want Moner getting ALIEN'd
>I just want Moner getting ALIEN'd
I hope she does for your sake anon
>ALIEN'D
If that's what you call kissing another black dude then yes, she will indeed get alien'd
This is the dude who did the 2013 evil dead remake so I have faith
I think he did Don't Breathe as well
Trailer a month old, misleading op
.
I really hope the constant parrot noises was just for the teaser and the aliens aren't that vocal in the actual movie.
I think it's just riffing off the siren/scream from the OG alien trailer which was the same thing.
>LE RETURN TO FORM! LOOK THEY'RE STUCK ON A SHIP WITH ALIENS! JUST LIKE THE FIRST ONE! LOOK!
Frick you give me more Michael Fassbender
How does one audition for this role?
that goes in pretty deep
did they find an actress with no gag reflex just for this?
So how do these face huggers work. do they just deep throat you and release their semen?
b***h is the size of a fricking garden gnome ffs
Too many Aliens fanboys in this thread still upset about Hicks & Newt 30 years later.
>noooooooooo I watch alien movies to see Ripley acting like a mother, despite this not even being a thing in the first movie!
Cope
can't wait for the butcha-u doujin
Facehuggers are much scarier than the xeno proper
the most typical alien trailer you could do
They should have made it a butt hugger for genz
all the nu-Alien movies were so bad at how they handled female characters
especially the leads
I think these newbie directors, writers misunderstand Ripley and what made her a good female lead
I blame feminism
My favourite Aliens comic panel
Whoa Isabella Merced blowjob?
Species already did it and did it better.
Looks like dogshit.
You can tell they don't know how to build tension with 2 shots showing a skittering swarm of face huggers.
