-THESE ARE
THE PROMETHEUS AND BOB TAPES
I just thought she was pretty.
We won't see her like again. Nu-Alien will be someone significantly lesser
We got Cailee which is nice but they're probably gonna make her a dyke or something
>which is nice
not it is not.
>We got Cailee which is nice but they're probably gonna make her a dyke or something
God I hope so. Cailee's Alien co-star is Isabela Moner. We need that along with them encased in chitin bondage and Xenomorphs impregnating them.
How the fuck are two 5'1" zoomers supposed to fight a xeno? Tiktok dance off? I hope they play someone's daughters and stay out of it
I don't think any human character has ever beaten a xeno by using physical strength bro
I liked Predators but the scene where the Yakuza hitman armed with a katana challenged a Yautja to a swordfight was just pure weeb fanservice.
Sure the match ended in a "draw" and they both died. But Humans should not be able to physically overpower Xenos and Yautja. Nor best them in pure face to face armed melee combat.
It's about outsmarting them.
Is this going to be a kids camp or some shit?
Honestly a Space Camp vs Xenomorph would rule if they knew how to do it, but they don’t. Nobody knows how to do anything anymore without some retard shitting on the walls out of spite.
>if they knew how to do it,
The way to make a Space Camp vs Alien movie interesting, unique and even quite shocking/terrifying is simple: have the Xenomorph(s) kill a bunch of kids.
You want people to be afraid of this monster again after everything from Aliens to Covenant worked hard to drive it into the dirt? That's how you do it.
I know, man. It would be a great jumpstart if they leaned into it.
How did Covenant make xenos unscary?
I have no doubt that the only reason Covent exists is because Ridley Scott saw that Neill Blomkamp was going to make an Alien movie and cus hes a egomaniac couldn't stand for it so he tanked the project by pitching his own shitty sequel. I can't see any other reason why he would make this trash.
Fuck Blomkamp. Nobody wants to see an elderly Ripley and Hicks fight aliens.
I would rather have that than covenant
I did
I did, you dumb shit. And to see a beautiful adult Newt coming into her own. More than that, it would have taken the franchise back to the Aliens time period and aesthetic which was FAR superior to the Alien 3/4, Prometheus/Covenant trash.
We might get lucky with the TV series if pulls off an Andor.
If you disregard any movie after Aliens as being canon, then it would make sense to have Newt become the new Ripley. Ripley was her maternity figure in Aliens and did everything that a mother would do for her own child, including going into mama bear berserker mode and completely disregarding her own safety for that of the child. Ripley is for all intent and purposes her mother.
It makes total sense that Ripley would pass that on, mother to daughter, since both her and Newt saw firsthand how insane the xenomorph menace is when they’re underestimated. Hell, Newt already has the “lone survivor who got found after everyone else died” origin story that Ripley had.
Alien 3 is total shit and they killed off Newt and Hicks in the beginning of the movie, offscreen by saying “Oops, they didn’t survive cryosleep. Sorry about that”. The idea of a quadrupedal xenomorph that came from a dog is retarded. Alien Resurrection, while having good action scenes, was total shit story-wise. Ripley was just a part-xenomorph clone. The human/xenomorph hybrid offspring was a terrible idea and it made no sense why Weyland Yutani would even want to do that. They should absolutely memoryhole those movies and reboot the whole thing.
I agree that Resurrection is retarded but I actually really like it and thought the idea of the hybrid was cool. That is if you just embrace the fucked canon past 3 and go with it. But yeah the alien series deserved better.
it is studio influence completely, you can even read about it. Based Ridley wanted the entire trilogy to focus on the engineers only, but the rubitty rubs wouldn’t green light it until aliens were made to be the focus
I don’t get why these fuckos just let Ridley do what we wants. He has awesome vision and has earnt the right to do so
*don’t just let
Would have been cool if they weren't giant humans in Giger suits.
Why?
That would have been fucken kino
>i dont get why garden gnomes dont want to do religious allegory and only focus on the evil demon monsters
because they are literally demons.
suits are retarded as fuck despite having the means to get rich. theyre dumber than apes
an insult to our ape frens. theyre dumber than rocks
did you forget when the interesting characters were already dead by the time Alien 3 started?
Everyone's gay for Fassbender
He could bend my ass anytime if you catch my drift
He played a guy named Harry Hole.
Is that really the reason she died? I've heard like 3 different stories about it.
she has nothing in common with ripley nor should she
>perfect modernization of Ripley
No way. She's petite, dull and looks very frail. She looks so out of place with working clothes too.
Ripley did look like she was part of the crew and could stand her ground.
Emily Blunt could've been the perfect candidate for neo-Ripley which is something that's quite evident that many producers have tried to achieve.
Michelle Rodriguez could've done the part too.
>looks very frail
She does, even if she's fit she doesn't look intimidating at all. She's got a doll face. Maybe frail was a bit exaggerated.
Eh, if you like it you like it. But I think it was a big miss.
Not that anon, but what I think you're getting at is that Ripley looks more capable because she actually does look like her job, which is a space trucker. She looks scrappy and unrefined which, for that role, is perfect.
Shaw isn't a blue-collar worker, though, she's a scientist. And, IMO, there's room for such a character to be shown as a competent survivor as well even if the learning curve should be sharper.
I get what you mean and in a vacuum she fits the role. But I'm disputing the claim that she's the perfect replacement for Ripley (which is what, I'm sure, the producers were after) which I don't think is the case.
Ripley's character was very fitting because she was a somewhat rough worker like you said. She had a specific set of traits. What I don't like so much is this trope of jack-of-all-trades archetype where a scientist can do it all, even sustain terrible pain. Covenant does the exact same with the alien fight on the ship. This also happens with the prequel of The Thing.
Maybe it's just me, I just don't see any of the new protags up to the task of being Ripley's successor.
>watch film when I was 20
>think she doesn't look very good
>watch when I was 26
>she's hot as fuck
What happened?
You're older and still get zero pussy so your standards dropped
No, pussy levels have stayed consistently okay
Your taste has matured with your age
Covenant was murdered in the cutting room. They had screenplay written up for what happened between the end of Prometheus and Covenant. And they shot at least some of it, you can see it in the prologue clip The Crossing. But then they just inexplicably didn't put it in the movie. And they cut almost all the scenes that build the relationship between Daniels and Walter, so that the few times it's referenced it feels like it's coming out of nowhere. I really feel like at one point Covenant was a very good film but it was 4 hours long so they hacked it down to fit in standardised movie theater slopslots.
Originally she was going to be in the full movie, she refused to film a scene with the protoface hugger which david would've inserted into her vaginal canal.
I don't know how they would've done the animatronics for such a scene likely would've won an award for it.
In anycase since she refused the studio scorched the earth and cut her out of the film entirely, I think the only early stuff that survives is that mini film and the intro.
studio wanted aliens in anycase not alien.
Source: Your gaping ass
I honestly enjoyed Prometheus despite the mid plot, but then they actually decided to pull another Alien 3 bullshit move with Covenant. It was so fucking infuriatingly shit.
>plebs still can't appreciate David
you supposed to grow as the film enjoyer, not stagnate on your first thought and emotion
There's not a lot of women who'd still look attractive in a jumpsuit like that, but goddamn, what a waste not having this character be the next face of your franchise.
Nope, instead we get Michael Fassbender kissing himself.
Ellen Ripley was the frontrunner of the badass female lead who had a believable story where she overcomes her fear, limitations, and through sheer force of will and courage, ends up being the last woman standing. “Strong female leads” today are all Mary Sues. They enter the scene already being good at everything.
Ripley went from being a terrified engineer on a ship alone with a deadly xenomorph, to being attached to a group of ragtag Colonial Marines, to taking charge of a mission thought straight up adrenaline and her fight or flight reflex going into “fight” because the (male) officer in command pussied out, to being taught to fire a pulse rifle for the first time, then ended up standing shoulder to shoulder with the Marines against an oncoming xenomorph horde when the shit hit the fan, and finally ended up in straight up melee combat using a cargo loader against a 15-foot-tall armored monstrosity that is a xenomorph queen.
James Cameron is excellent in the way that he writes a female version of a “hero’s journey” in that they are presented as weak and helpless but end up becoming hardened badasses by overcoming struggles. He did the same thing with Sarah Connor.
It’s not “proper” to show a female character as being weak in any way anymore. Capeshit movie queens kick ass right from the start. Rey Skywalker did everything in 10 minutes that Luke did over the course of three movies to become nearly as powerful. Luke started out as a whiny farm boy who trained his ass off, built his own lightsaber, learned from his mistakes, mastered his ability to control his impulses and emotions and finally confronted his father, one of the most powerful Force users in the galaxy.
That’s believable. Rey Skywalker picking up a lightsaber and having immediate and total mastery over it isn’t.
It would be nice to see Cameron write another Ripley. Scott is either too lazy or too scared of recreating her for today’s woke feminist audience.
Good, fuck women literally and figuratively
So, ignore the time jump and make Shaw immortal?
Or David just used robot speed force abilities to do his experiments and well as a genocide?
god i love noomi
