The books implies it was cut off a live specimen
It confirmed it in the movie, bishop reads a medical report:
>They killed him trying to cut it off.
Dude. You can't just post NSFW pictures on a blue board like that
>Dude. You can't just post NSFW pictures on a blue board like that
You can't make that kind of decision. You're just a grunt.
No offense.
You've been with some nasty women
They say in the movie they killed a guy taking it off him.

>Hadley's Hope
More like Ridley's Cope
lmfao
Damn
How could you resist having sex with it?
Would it melt your dick off?
unless you're amall enough to fit in the proboscis, you're the one getting probed
YWN experience docking with a facehugger
It would be kinda cool to live in Hadley's Hope if there were no aliens.
it really wouldn't be
it would be like living in the shittiest backwater area but worse with absolutely nothing to do
At least there are cute kids.
Has an alien ever made a baby out of a kid before? I suspect aliens wouldn't attack them till they hit puberty.
Newt had a brother and there were other kids she played hide and seek in the tunnels with. They were all impregnated.
Those aliens are buttholes and kiddy diddlers!
That's why I'm Team Predator!
In the AVP2 movie the Predalien impregnates a bunch of pregnant women in a maternity ward, since they would produce more xenos
Hot.
Shit movie but this scene alone deserves a golden egg shaped award
We don't talk about the avp films in these threads.

YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME BOY?
that sounds nice. my town has 120 people, i'm slowly moving away from your civilization because I can't stand it
Your town is also near other towns, moron.
Apparently the people who overwinter in Antarctica go nuts especially in the smaller places. In the Australian bases I heard there is a rape epidemic so standard procedure for ages has been to make small teams all female if possible. It keeps them safer but they turn on each other.
I live in northern Canada and shit gets rough. For 4 months out of the year sunrise is at like 10am and sunset is 3:30pm. Even thats enough to make people crazy sometimes.
I've been to Chile and it was like 10pm and the sun was still high up in the sky. That shit would drive me insane as well
I guy I knew who worked there said it's more of a gay predator infestation, with a small but coordinated group of homosexuals hosting parties among themselves and inviting newbies who haven't yet learned the social scene, then drugging them once they're alone among the homos.
That sounds pretty believable. You have to be pretty good academically to get over there and a lot of gays are good at academic social climbing.
you mean I get to larp as MacReady AND have constant gay sex?? sign me up
Everything but the bum sex sounds fun
>a small but coordinated group of homosexuals hosting parties among themselves and inviting newbies who haven't yet learned the social scene, then drugging them once they're alone among the homos.
So The Thing (1982) really was an allegory for the gay panic. The alien was a homosexual rapist.
>uninteresting featureless rock planet in the early stages of terraforming with a thin atmosphere you can barely breathe in
>the vast majority of your life is spent living inside a series of metal tunnels working with and living among the same few dozen people for potentially decades if not your whole life with no way to get away from it all
>the nature of space travel means you're never going to see any friends or family who didn't move with you there ever again
It sounds like absolute shit and moving there is basically a death sentence where you spend the rest of your boring life being a trades wagie stuck with your coworkers 24/7. It'd be like living in a nuclear submarine for the rest of your life where sometimes you get to go topside but it's always only Baffin Island or some other featureless plain of shit.
Supposedly the planet would become a nice and livable world where your descendants would inherit prime plot of land you own and whatever you built on it. Not so bad.
Ok? But I’m not fricking alive to see it.
Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they'll never sit in.
Where the hell are you getting that out takes a billion years to terraform? The planet goes from airless rock to a somewhat breathable atmosphere in a couple years. At that rate, the place should be green for your kids; grandkids at the latest.
Buncha low IQ short-sighted types itt
Plant a tree for the future and all that.
So my great great great grandkid's great grand kid gets to live in some boggy shitty grass world 800+ years after my bones are dust and this is supposed to be a good thing? By the time the planet finishes terraforming my direct descendants would barely have any of my genes left in them and would have no idea who I was other than some name in a century's old datalog. Big fricking whoop. Even if they were guaranteed a plot some corporation will just move in once the planet was livable and would just take all the prime real estate for themselves anyways.
Even if the job paid you today's equivalent of a million a year it wouldn't be worth it at all if you're stuck on that shit heap of a planet for 50% or more of your life. Only morons would sign up for terraforming in the Aliens universe.
you sound like a fun person. I bet women start dripping wet whenever you're around
How long do you think the crew of the Nostromo spend on their runs?
From Ridley, they were supposed to be quite long. Long enough that Ridley had wanted to make the crew very free with sex to take care of each other's needs. He made a scene where Ripley was using Dallas while they talked about other stuff.
It's also the shitty technology future where computers are all slow and clunky and the only game on them is a basic chess program that doesn't even have multiplayer.
Why didn't the giant help them?
who's the sign for? No one is going to drive into the colony from abroad, there is no other settlement on the planet, let alone roads
The xenomorphs.
Hadley's Hope wasn't overrun in a day, it took place over multiple days as colonists were taken, used to birth more xenomorphs, and things spiraled out of control
>July 3rd - Colonial Administration loses contact with Hadley's Hope colony. July 6th - Ripley reluctantly agrees to accompany Burke and a Colonial Marine squad of 2nd Battalion, 9th Regiment to Acheron to investigate on board the USS Sulaco. July 26th - The last pockets of resistance at Hadley's Hope are over-run by the Xenomorphs, leaving Newt as the sole survivor. July 27th - The USS Sulaco arrives at LV-426.
The colonists held out for around 3 weeks?!
And only got finally overrun the day before the Marines got there? Holy frick.
where's that movie! I'll watch a Hadley's Hope film before another Covenant spinoff.

Honestly, I'm just pissed we didn't get adult "Newt" as a Sci-Fi sex symbol. Imagine a blonde Ripley Jr. with huge knockers and Michael Bien as her Dad.

Read the first three Dark Horse comic Aliens miniseries. They're like the sequel to Aliens we never got
Lotta Alien comes out there. Does it have a subtitle?
Aliens (1989)
Aliens Book 2 (aka Nightmare Asylum) (1990)
Aliens: Earth War (aka Female War) (1991)
Be aware that they were retroactively edited after Alien 3 killed off Ripley. Some of the reprints differ.

Cheers.
At some point Fox decided they didn't want an unofficial alternative timeline so refused to allow Newt and Hicks to be called Newt and Hicks in the later collected editions. Which is fricking moronic because just call them something else even though they are clearly Newt and Hicks.
I guess since Fox got sold to Disney Marvel is doing all reprints from this point forward and they released an epic collection of the first three miniseries. Form what I read of the reviews it seems they went back to using the original character names and also colorized the first miniseries that was originally in black and white. Was actually thinking about getting it myself although I normally try not to give the mouse money
I suggest the omnibus if you go the Disney route
Tempting but that shit's like $100, the epic collection was on sale for $30
>Tempting but that shit's like $100, the epic collection was on sale for $30
I assume you're looking at Amazon. There are cheaper places to get comics
https://www.instocktrades.com/products/oct200680/aliens-omnibus-hc-vol-01-nelson-dm-var
why the omnibus instead of the epic?
Higher production quality and more stories
I used to get the dog eared TPBs from the library back when I was a acne ridden high school kid in the late 2000s and the franchise was in its wilderness years. The omnis are the comic book equivalent of a 4k special edition remaster with bonus features. The really good Aliens comics are the equivalent of what the Thrawn trilogy is to Star Wars. And that first Alien vs. Predator miniseries is absolutely S-tier.
I got all 4 Aliens omnis with the Dark Horse material from 1988-2014 or so and now I occasionally pirate whatever slop Disney/Marvel publishes. Before the Fox buyout they even had sequels to Alien: Isolation with Amanda going on adventures with an ex-Colonial Marine friend. Dark Horse's Terminator comics were great, too.
>The EU had a novel called River of Pain that is apparently fricking awful.
Doesn't Acheron mean "river of pain"?
>Dark Horse comic Aliens
I absolutely love the art for this storyline. Spears was a great antagonist.
that's a silly reason to go insane and risk getting facehugged and an alien bore its way out of your chest
>That scene where Ripley finds Burke again and just hands him a grenade telling him to "help himself."
Fricking brutal.
I like the idea that the ayys just killed him then and there. Scheming little rat c**t like him wasn't nurturing enough to grow a xenomorph, they have standards.
>Folks, this time we have scored big!
Nooo you dumbasses that's not the fricking line
Might make for a good miniseries tbqh
You do not want this. The EU had a novel called River of Pain that is apparently fricking awful. They retcon it so there is already a colonial marine garrison on planet and apparently Newt's mother is having an affair with one of them
I've listened to a few alien books on israelitetube. They're all terrible and cheesy, phalanx had some good ideas but some of the dialogue is cringe.
>And only got finally overrun the day before the Marines got there? Holy frick.
that does make sense though even if that's extended universe stuff as they did encounter colonists that were still a live trapped in the alien cacoon
it's also crazy to think that Newt would just be able to survive on her own for weeks it makes more sense she was just with the last group and managed to hide
The gerbils in that one room were still alive and healthy looking, non-moldy food and coffee left laying around. Lot's of evidence they just missed a last stand.
It obviously happened before the aliens went all out and wrecked everyone. People were disappearing one by one until the aliens reached a large enough number to just openly attack the remaining colonists, who had gone on to barricade themselves in one spot.
How could the colonists have defended themselves against that?
They didn't
Are they in the complex right now?!
I got readings, I got signals in front AND behind!
The weird thing is, the movie makes a big thing about how the only ammo the marines have is what wasnt destroyed in the dropship crash, but the colonists had pulse rifles (somebody mentions bullet holes when they first enter the colony) and presumably had their own small armory. Never gets mentioned again, but there had to be a stockpile on pulse rifle ammo somewhere in the complex.
Pretty sure in newts tale there are some marines stationed on Hadley hope.
Could have just been normal rifles and pistols. Nothing says they'd have military machine guns
>the colonists had pulse rifles (somebody mentions bullet holes
based fricking idiot moron anon
Kek. I'm sure hicks says it looks like small arms fire.
They had a best a couple of regular caliber handguns. Normal pistols wouldn't do much against the Xenomorphs and the one time we see one used by Vasquez she has to be practically point blank range for it to be effective. The pulse rifles and smartguns of the marines used specialized explosive tipped ammunition that civilians would not have access to and it was using this ammo that ultimately causes the reactor in the movie to become damaged and unstable.
They say 'small arms fire' (pistols used ny security) and 'seismic charges' (used for mining) while examining the last stand barricade.
More like Hadley's Hopeless, heh heh
>successfully
they all fricking died
Face hugger a cute.
So the aliens are relying on dumb luck for someone to stumble across a queen face hugger or can any face hugger spawn a queen? Or do all aliens in their infant state have the potential to become queens?
AvP 2 rules say that once you get a high enough killstreak you get to molt
Sarge pls.
IIRC it's kind of like a lot of insect hives where there's always the ability to produce new queens and the presence of a current queen just keeps new queens from emerging
I seem to recall that in beehives the first queen to emerge just stings all the other prospective queens to death in their cells.
These things ain't bees, stupido
this dude was field promoted in Vietnam to SGT
Oh wow a meritorious promotion in Vietnam. So rare.
IIRC, there are special eggs that contain facehuggers that are capable of directly laying queen embryos into a host(Alien 3).
Otherwise regular Xenos are capable of molting into a queen if one isn't present.
Drone/Warrior>Praetorian>Queen
Alien 3 isn't canon. There was no alien egg on the Sulaco.
This. Alien 3 ruined everything.
>Muh assembly cut.
Frick off.
>All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day on Cinemaphile! A day on this board is like a day on the farm. Every thread's a banquet! Every (You) a fortune! Every banning a parade! I *love* Cinemaphile!
The actor who played Apone was only 32 years old during filming.
The actor who played Crowe was previously in the SAS.
Yeah he wasn't in "the" SAS he was in a territorial unit whose job during world war three would be to stay in a hideyhole and report things over radio.
Newt was gonna have huge breasts?? Hell yeah!
Some parallel earth is loving her big titty jumbos!
Unfortunately, the answer to your question is almost certainly yes.
that was one of the first comics i ever got as a kid
Aliens is such a kino film.
The worst part of being on a terraforming colony is you dont have much to work with in an emergency, and any form of help is most likely years away.
>i'm ready to settle down
>NOOOO DARK AND CONFINED SPACES WITH JUST A FEW PEOPLE I'M GOING CRAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZYYYYYYYY!!!
Reminds me of how I suddenly found out the rest of the world calls my lifestyle "quarantine" and started killing themselves over it.
maybe if they rotated people out ever couple years it wouldn't be so bad. It only takes a couple weeks to get there in hyperspace
Facehuggers are stupid.
>insert tiny tube into the mouth of something that ISN'T a human with atriphied jaws designed to eat cooked food
>it immediately rips it off because everything else uses their mouth as a literal weapon
I can't imagine a dumber place to inset an egg from
they should instead hug your ass
It's supposed to incapacitate you by preventing your breathing at first and sedating you, but yeah, even the movies don't want to deal with facehuggers any more. They take a lot of time to do their thing and the audience has seen all their tricks already. So the movies just try to fast forward through them or replace them like Ridley did with his spores and pretend they're somehow 'more primitive'.
>You know what this alien monster needs? More wieners and veganas!
imagine being 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
Ferro could still get it
Amazing what happens when you don't get fat
Agreed, and if I remember correctly from another thread with present day pics, this is a bad pic of her
