She can't act at all and is also one big reason why sicario 2 sucked big time. They should've taken Kiki instead because nobody would've sent glowies to rescue a spic
its not interesting anymore nobody cares about whole alien bullshit I would rather see covenant plot of David studying engineers and shiet rather than that forced alien killing some mutts on spaceship
I want a DAVID cinematic universe, where he studies alien life in the utmost detail. then genocides them into extinction. like a reverse crocodile hunter.

It's clearly the Sulaco design with all the spikes on the front. The Nostromo is much closer to the design of the Prometheus and is also alot smaller compared to the Sulaco.

its what the sulaco was based on. the conestoga class was designed in the 2150's.
They can continue to do stuff in comics and games but, when it comes to film (and any TV ideas) leave it alone - at least for an extended period of time. There is clearly no real ideas for the franchise on screen and so much of what they have done has either harmed the brand or just doesn't register.
Alien Isolation proved that the best thing about it is the look and feel of Alien. Retro tech, dark smokey corridors, lonesome space station far out in the middle of nowhere, the Alien actually feeling like a real dangerous threat. That's what's needed. Not shitty settings on Earth, young adults, holograms and ipod looking tech, Aliens grow to adult in seconds and die like flies
Just don't write the crew as absolute morons. Covenant and Prometheus suffered from this. None of the deaths felt natural and the stakes weren't too high like the first three movies
His story is done. what else do you do with him? >Naw we need yet another movie where he's smarter than everyone
have him be frieza. >HELLO MONKEYS!!!
This is such a layup for hollywood it's ridiculous. You know how zombies used to be really popular and still kind of are? Okay, just make a post apocalyptic setting where a group of people are surviving an alien infested world. Could be Earth, could be Mars, doesn't really matter. Just people surviving an alien outbreak
give us a multifront war, with multiple subfactions of the main factions fighting amongst themselves like robot rebels. make it into a giant no one is good cliusterfrick with a rag tag group of plucky heroes saving the day with the power of friendship.

Aliens during the crusades. have one of the crusades be revealed have actually been a desperate attempt to eradicate a sudden outburst of "demons" in the holy land.
Yeah, but those would be botched for political reasons. Remember Eternals and Wakanda Forever? Child sacrifice is hella based and wholesome to liberals.
ancient egypt could be cool, but I figure the religious angle with the crusades could be interesting. The problem with mesoamerica is that it would be too similar to the recent predator film. Feudal Japan or ancient china are other completely different options.
they weren't until prometheus/covenant retconned it. At this point who give a frick with this mess of a franchise. I just want a good stand alone film.
No they aren’t, the Alien branch of the franchise just happens to be set in the future. The Xenomorph is older than anything, it’s just that David managed to manipulate the black goo into a facsimile of them. He wanted perfection and the alien is a perfect organism.
dump Ridley Scott
wait 5 or 10 years
make a new alien movie that doesn't suck
Alien: Resurrection had a good starting point: military experimentation on the xenomorphs. I'd like to see a movie that focuses solely on that. No goofy misfit mercenaries needed.
Alien Resurrection would have been great if they’d just done another draft that didn’t have the Ripley clone. The logic behind that is moronic. Imagine if the film was just “the military in the future found some eggs and they’re doing an experiment” and it was just two hours of shit hitting the fan on a ship while a colorful crew of mercenaries try to survive and make their way through the ship to their own ship and escape. A perfect little bottle episode.
Doesn't even need to be set in the "future" like Resurrection for that. The primary thing fans wanted was for it to still have the aesthetic of Alien/Aliens. Have that same plot but set near them and look like them and it'd be great.
ancient egypt could be cool, but I figure the religious angle with the crusades could be interesting. The problem with mesoamerica is that it would be too similar to the recent predator film. Feudal Japan or ancient china are other completely different options.

It's in reference to the Ark of the Covenant and Jericho you moron not Noah's Ark.
reboot it entirely using practical effects rather than cgi, but give the humans better tech and have the original ending where the alien bites the last survivor's head off when they think they are finally safe
One of the larger Human colony planets somehow gets infested. What starts off as one lone alien slowly evolves into complete chaos as thousands more are made. Space marines are called and show up just in time to assist the mass exodus of who ever is left off the planet. Oh and predators show up to hunt for fun. Basically the Alien vs Predator capcom arcade game.
My focusing on the shared universe aspect and actually tying the Predator and Alien movies together more.
I thought about this back when Covenant came out. You can keep all the movies as canon, but you’ve got to fix a few holes.
Prometheus 2. A stand alone movie set shortly after the first Prometheus. Instead it’s about a rescue crew arriving some time after the events of the first film. There they encounter the remains of the ship left on the planet as well as a fully grown Deacon. During the film they find another engineer ship, as LV-223 was a military outpost with multiple ships. The one they find has alien eggs in the hull and the film ends with the entire rescue crew getting killed by various xenos. An engineer that gets awoken during the third act takes off in his ship but a chest burster comes out of him and causes it to crash land into LV-426 - The planet from Alien. Now we have a completed trilogy for Prometheus.
Next do a predator movie in space. A hunting party selects a USCM ship to conduct a hunt. We get thirty space marines versus three predators in tight corridors. Alien on steroids. The film ends with the surviving crew crash landing on a colonist planet, a large colony in the distance. They begin the trek across the alien landscape and the credits roll. Now we have two complete trilogies of Predator movies.
A new Alien movie set some time after the events of Resurrection. Corporal Hicks never died and was taken by Weyland Yutani, kept in cryo for hundreds of years. It’s alluded to that the events of Aliens: Colonial Marines happened. He’s been awoken by an earth military that acquired Wey-Yu assets after they got bought out. He has more experience with the Xenomorph than anyone so they give him an offer. He can continue military service for them as a consultant with the aliens or they’ll just kill him. Given the circumstances he’s in, he reluctantly takes the offer. It’s revealed the military has a Xenomorph Queen, something they recovered frozen in ice at the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean (the Queen from AvP). One of his advisory things is to conduct any and all experiments with the Xenomorph far away from human populated space, so they move operations to a ship on the edges of colonized territory. It’s there that the ship comes under attack from raiders and the specimens get loose. It’s revealed the attackers are Ripley and crew from Resurrection. Cal found out about the experiment and Ripley-8 was eager to interrupt it. Things happen, the ship gets blown up and Hicks leaves with their crew. Their ship suffered some damage, so the film ends with them headed towards the nearest human outpost that can fix it. It’s the same planet from the end of the Predator movie. Now we have two Alien trilogies.
The final film is Alien Vs Predator 3. Hicks, Ripley and co arrive at the outpost for repairs. The marines from the predator movie are not far off from their ground approach. But the Yautja are a bit pissed after the embarrassing defeat of their hunting party. They send a full force of Yautja to pursue the marines. Unfortunately for everybody, this planet wasn’t first settled by humans. It was settled by David after Covenant. Humans built the colony far enough away from him, so it went unnoticed. But the crashing ship at the end of the Predator movie got his attention. He’s been following on the marines’ trail along with various Xenomorph experiments. The marines make it to the outpost and breathe a sigh of relief, before two dozen Yautja arrive. Then once shit has hit the fan, David’s alien creations arrive halfway through the second act. Leading to a massive third act bloodbath built up over three movies. Now there’s a complete AvP trilogy.

Replace the word "rescue" with "explorer" and its the same fricking plot as prometheus.
Pretty much. But Prometheus is literally beat for beat Alien but without the Alien and black goo instead. It’s a bit repetitive, but it fixes the holes that rewriting Alien Origins into Prometheus created. Plus, it lets us see the Deacon as an adult. And nobody expects your entire human cast to die horribly, so it would be a nice little surprise for the audience. The beats can be the same, but you can diversify the carnage enough for the audience to still like it.
My point is you could easily change a few things to make it less repetitive. for example they could find something different from just another engineer ship. >And nobody expects your entire human cast to die horribly
Already happened with covenant.
Eh, you probably could make it less repetitive. Point is, have a movie that doesn’t leave us blue balled with the Deacon, establishes that David didn’t create the alien and explains the connection between it and the black goo, while also explaining how the ship got to LV-426 and why the crew from that ship didn’t instead hear Shaw’s distress signal coming from the neighboring LV-223.
No. Predator is an action franchise, Alien is a horror franchise. Merging them would be bad for both IPs. AvP should never leave non-canon crossover territory.
My head cannon was always it had something to do with the fact they can survive in space and submerged in molten lead, so almost like a terraformer/regulator on its back that allows it to survive, but the one from Alien3 didn’t have those so………. then again you can chalk that up to what was convenient on a set of a movie with a tumultuous production and they just took the tubes off so the actor could move around more easily and so the tubes didn’t keep falling off, etc. which is why it has no tubes but whatever……
Maybe the tubes just allow it to move on all 4s or upright and switch between easily or some shit. They look like snorkels though I always assumed it had to do with adapting to whatever environment they’re in.
Bring the movies back to "single monster killing off people in isolated place who are at a disadvantage" Basically just keep making Alien and Alien3 and Isolation i know there's multiple aliens but you really only see 1 at a time which heightens the horror element
More aliens on screen doing alien appropriate things. A high quality mass slaughter scene where at least a few dozen aliens are observed to be killed. The alien counter attack where they respond by sending thousands to 10's of thousands of aliens, consistent with their giant ant like nature. The government finally gets to use them as weapons.
just frick off with all the gay extended lore and make it claustrophobic horror again. yes i know aliens was a great action movie but dont even try it youre not james cameron
Modern artists are so fricking shit. That alien looks like dogshit. Half of what makes aliens creepy is their almost humanish appearance. Like their teeth when they snark is supposed to almost look like a human mouth like if a human was making that same grimace, but in that pic and also in the designs from covenant the xenos have no cheeks so they just have this big dumb looking grinning jaw filled with molars, all creepiness gone. Some troony was paid to design these creatures and didn’t even understand or care about them, probably never even seen any alien movies and just watched some YouTube vids of aliens scenes when they were sketching concepts. Those NuAliens look like the Cheshire Cat.
Yeah why would human ones look different? A dog, fine. But why would a human xeno have lips and then not have lips, it’s just different people designing the monster. But removing its face and giving it a gay toothy molar smile is moronic.
pretty sure alien isolation was model after the original film props. also they had an alt skin that had the see through head where you can see the skull. pretty cool
Another example of this, everyone calls the Predator's head tendril things dreadlocks and every subsequent artist starts treating them like actual hair
That alien is literally Big Chap with digitigrade legs you moron kek
I kinda just want more stories set in the Alien universe but not having the Alien. Like Outland. Just the look and feel were awesome. Space actually comes off as vast and they seem like they're in far away places. Make one about life on Sevastopol station.
A show set on Sevastopol right before Isolation would be kino
>no lips to curl back and snarl which is the xenos trademark and instead a permanent DUUHH HEY GUYS! smile
Idc if it’s 1:1 that ruins the whole thing. I mean it still looks kinda cool just an ugly downgrade and missing the point of the thing’s design.
The alien design you're currently b***hing about is about to kill the person it's facing, so naturally its lips are peeled back. Aside from that, it's extremely close to the original design from Alien, Kane's Son.
Yeah and that's the Covenant design, not the image in question
If you're claiming OP looks like it's smiling, then I revert to my original statement of you being moronic, immensely so.

Because the one in covenant is like a pure breed one. Clearly the xeno in alien 1 is biomechanically augmented and mixed with a human.
Yeah alright fine the Isolation one looks sick. But if the OP one is from Isolation then I guess that’s just a really bad angle. Probably the model of the game warping as it does an animation.

The 20th Anniversary shorts were actually really good, see if ANY of those directors can make a full on movie and let them do it; suddenly you have a good movie.
I'd also get someone to make an Alien vs Predator movie with actual Colonial Marines instead of MODERN DAY bullshit.
Alien Isolation was scarier than any of the movies. It just goes to show how tough and brave Ripley was in Alien that so many people get too scared playing Isolation and quit.
I was scared at first, but after a couple hours in, the xeno just starts becoming an annoying nuisance. Now I know why Ripley was so pissed off and tired by Alien 3.
Make the 2nd and 3rd Shadows trilogy books/podcasts into 2 movies. No woke bullshit thrown in.
All the characters have flaws, make mistakes, and are somewhat relatable. Ripley isnt needed in either but if they choose to leave her in it shouldnt hurt.
This but NY instead. Let the tribesman be, I wanna see some inner city/lefty nogs get absolutely obliterated and disgraced while they beg Biden for help.

I had a lot of fun watching Scott's impotent attempts to reinvent the genre after Chad Cameron defined his own creation forever. As a sequel its really hard to top Aliens as it did literally everything right. Scott cannot even properly reproduce the byzantine technology motive that is such an important part of the franchise and that EVERY director after the first Alien managed to do right, it's like the boomer doesn't understand what made his own movies tick. And FRICK the engineers, they are gay, the original Pilot idea was much, much cooler than some angsty buttholes and their literal shit that produces le demons that erupt from your chest in minutes.
You can really smell the seethe in these movies as he tries going down the pseudointellectual route even chucking his christhomosexualry in there and none of that stuff works, its just a cringe slasher.
I give it to Ridley for good. I just need the David arc to be finished. It's the only good thing about alien since the original 1979 hit movie before cameron ruined it
I would bring it back to its roots, Alien 1, and go in a different direction than Cameron.
I would make the creature be as intelligent, if not more intelligent than humans. I would make it able to mimic human speech (like Ridley's idea for the ending).
I would make the creature be able to "Giger-ize" not only biological matter but also mechanical objects. I would make it able to produce eggs and also make eggs out of other organisms (the deleted scene with Dallas and Brett).
All in all I would make it a horrifying eldritch monstrosity which just consumes, corrupts and transforms its environment for its own goals.
There was some good ideas that should have been focused on more. Having a film with Ripley gestating a chestbuster while the alien doesn't harm her and kills all of the crew around her would have been really compelling but its barely focused on in the actual released film. And Fincher basically giving a middle finger to Cameron and his franchise bait was cool. Sending Ripley off with a story of sacrifice and ending the franchise with her was commendable. But then resurrection had to happen and beat that dead horse.
Nah, the whole thing was dumb. Characters barely surviving and returning home is an acceptable end and much better than pulling some stupid reason out of your ass to have them yet again fight the monster on the way home and die horribly. They could have made an entirely new character for Alien 3 and it would have been decent.
this. have ripley go into cryosleep hoping for the best, but knowing her ship isn't going to be found. have her be a ghost story for spacers and never seen again.
to cut ties with her, have alien be an anthology movie like creepshow or enter the matrix. have indie directors or even youtubers make movies on shoestring budgets, and with no name actors. it's what they should have done with ghostbusters, etc. they shut down the old ghostbusters franchises in cities fan films of the early 00's instead.
The series died by showing the monster too much and not utilizing the foreboding atmosphere and aesthetic that the first two movies had.
Also, stop fricking letting Ridley Scott direct these god damn movies. He's utterly ignorant to what was done right in the first.
at most you should see something slither or move out the corner of the frame as the paranoia is slowly overtaking everyone. like a rat.
I got a bro printing the Papsikels minis series with aliens and predators with dutch, ripley, newt, the loader, queens, dropship and tank etc.
I'm going to use the culture hustle brand Black Mirror, the blackest black, and the whitest white for the xenomorphs along with some funky inks and pigments he has.
hes got like 5 big resin printers and another coming in that hes testing settings for production, and is going to do the guyver set for me next month.
>going to do the guyver set for me next month
Wait Papsikels did a Guyver set? Also I'm currently playing as the Predator in my DnD group using Papsikels Feral Predator mini.
Facehugger preggos a human with cancer in a newly settled human colony.
That human boards a commercial ship on its way to a space station similar to Sevastopol.
On its way to the station the alien pops out spreading terror. Because of the cancer, the alien is very different than most and mutates, more rapidly if it's hurt.
You have your usual panic, tension, trying to figure out a way to kill the alien, etc, but it's all futile and the ship arrives to the station with no survivors.
Once in the station, it's when the alien starts changing for real and it can grow face huggers out of his skin, so some people end up preggo'd.
From there it should be easy. Humans losing ground, retreating and cornering theirselves. Trying to find out what's going on. The usual. It could be one movie or a trilogy too.
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 he 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 this year's harvest over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

Show the privatization of space travel and exploration and the lengths terran powers that be will go to prevent Space Cowboys free ranging in the great beyond. Have an Arrival-but-not-gay element of AI doing linguistic reconstruction of Engineerese. Rip off 3000 Space Odyssey payoffs and 3 Body Problem Dark Forest and War In Heaven themes, and not Ancient Aliens tier ancient aliens archaeology.
I can actually justify it. Resurrection is a masterclass in both cinematography and music. It just has a shit Whedon script but the actual movie is beatiful.
Aliens, for what it is, a dumb action movie, has a great script sure, but shit tier cinematography and music.
They are both the action blockbusters of the original 4, so they are shit anyways.
It's an incredibly stupid and boring way to take the story. >Prometheus ending: Shaw and David off to go find the real engineers, explore their amazing scifi world, see what happened with them and hopefully make peace >NOT! Actually Shaw died off-screen on the way there, David killed all the Engineers, then just sat around jerking off on alien drawings and Shaw's corpse likely to never leave the planet again. Luckily for him, a human colony ship JUST SO HAPPENS to be passing by this engineer planet and he can hijack it to take to a new planet, kill all the crew, and infect all the colonists yay!
The overall arc could have been so much more.
I’m not sure it can be. It’s like Terminator, where the first two films are essentially perfect and explore the ideas as much as they logically need to be. Everything that came after just diluted things like the mystery of the Space Jockey, that were better left as hanging questions in the minds of the audience. Terminator Salvation and the opening of Genisys proved to me that as much as we all wanted a full movie-length version of the future war, in practice nobody had a clue how to actually do it justice. It was better left as something the audience fleshed out for themselves. Beyond that, every other good Alien story was done in comics by Dark Horse in the 90’s, so beyond adapting those I really can’t think of anything compelling or that justifies its reason to exist.
How about this: a Xenomorph infestation breaks out on a prosperous, metropolitan colony world very different to the frontier shitholes we’re used to seeing in these movies. Full-blown Byzantine Blade Runner-scale cityscapes and corporatism run wild. It’s naturally the result of a corporation experimenting with Xenomorph biology in a pharmacology lab several stories beneath the surface. The marines are sent in to extract valuable corporate assets, but at least half the squad are combat synthetics - the twist is their Laws of Robotics programming clashes with their orders and they decide evacuating the surviving civilians is more important, bringing them into conflict with their human squadmates.
>full movie-length version of the future war, in practice nobody had a clue how to actually do it justice.
It doesn't help that when they do it, they change the look and feel to something completely different. Their future war movie never once looked like the ones portrayed in Terminator 1/2. And they do the same thing to everything after Aliens, it never looks the same as Alien/Aliens except for Alien Isolation. They really underestimate that aspect of it and just think "hey, we'll toss the xeno into any slasher script and it'll be scary" and just make it a generic monster in a generic movie, when people loved the Alien movies for a lot more than just the creature
Genisys tried with the nighttime aesthetics and laser light, but all that proved to me is that Hollywood is now incapable of reproducing the grit and visual texture of the T1 and T2 flashbacks. I doubt even Cameron himself could do it at this point, he’s gone so deep into the hole of CGI and filming on a digital backlot.
There's nothing similar about it except for the look. And the look is what everone wants. They'd be smart to adapt it, which is why they'll just make slop like Alien Romulus instead.

Nope. I already heard. It's gonna be two hours of Moner running around in her panties being chased by slobbering monsters

Literally Burt Gummer’s TV show in Tremors 2 (or 3 I forget).
Unironically based, this could save Alien.
>imagine what would happen if he found the Predator homeworld, he’d basically become Space Hitler
in universe the Yautja (like klingons) stole all their tech when their slavemasters either died out, were killed off, or disappeared.
an android going alien hunting with predators would be neat.
Alien and blade runner are in the same universe. The sulaco (or a sister ship) is literally in br2049
thats the the nostromo, BR2049 is 50ish years or so before alien.
the sullacco is a much later military vessel.
It's clearly the Sulaco design with all the spikes on the front. The Nostromo is much closer to the design of the Prometheus and is also alot smaller compared to the Sulaco.
>alot smaller
It's 300 meters.
its what the sulaco was based on. the conestoga class was designed in the 2150's.
No, it's in the same universe as that van damme movie.
You mean the Kurt Russell one?
Yes right, not van damme.
Soldier or something.
Yup, Soldier.
For real, kino has been so sparse this last decade that im sitting here right now thinking Prometheus 3 wouldn’t be so bad.
Prometheus is what killed the series
They can continue to do stuff in comics and games but, when it comes to film (and any TV ideas) leave it alone - at least for an extended period of time. There is clearly no real ideas for the franchise on screen and so much of what they have done has either harmed the brand or just doesn't register.
by leaving well enough alone
Alien Isolation proved that the best thing about it is the look and feel of Alien. Retro tech, dark smokey corridors, lonesome space station far out in the middle of nowhere, the Alien actually feeling like a real dangerous threat. That's what's needed. Not shitty settings on Earth, young adults, holograms and ipod looking tech, Aliens grow to adult in seconds and die like flies
Just don't write the crew as absolute morons. Covenant and Prometheus suffered from this. None of the deaths felt natural and the stakes weren't too high like the first three movies
I’d listen to it, which nobody else did.
not for the lack of trying
Has this dude ever played a good guy?
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Wildling. Movie was pretty meh, though.
he was a cop in the rob zombie halloween movies
The doctor in Deadwood.
Doc wiener Ring
Chucky in Child's Play. Although I dont know if you count voice acting
Didn't he get an Oscar for playing a moron? Not a bad guy.
Whoopsie. Forgot the pic
Jonsey's Solo movie when?
far too kino of a film for any reality.
have him be frieza.
>HELLO MONKEYS!!!
give us a multifront war, with multiple subfactions of the main factions fighting amongst themselves like robot rebels. make it into a giant no one is good cliusterfrick with a rag tag group of plucky heroes saving the day with the power of friendship.
you'd love it.
Finish David's story.
His story is done. what else do you do with him?
>Naw we need yet another movie where he's smarter than everyone
We need to see him take over the galaxy with xenos, of course. Then it would be perfect.
>yet another movie where he's smarter than everyone
I wouldn't complain, he's a very kino character.
but it isn't done at all
This is such a layup for hollywood it's ridiculous. You know how zombies used to be really popular and still kind of are? Okay, just make a post apocalyptic setting where a group of people are surviving an alien infested world. Could be Earth, could be Mars, doesn't really matter. Just people surviving an alien outbreak
Boring. We need more pretentious gay android kino.
Final Alien Alien goes to hell
Imagine something like Alien Covenant but on a vulcano planet with some freaky xeno mutations all over it and David pulling shenanigans.
He needs to get his shit kicked in.
Isolation 2
Ooohh, it's smiling 🙂
Cute xenobaby.
Aliens during the crusades. have one of the crusades be revealed have actually been a desperate attempt to eradicate a sudden outburst of "demons" in the holy land.
Cringe and redd*t pilled.
don't care
I think Ancient Egypt or Mesoamerica would be a better setting for a historical Alien movie.
Yeah, but those would be botched for political reasons. Remember Eternals and Wakanda Forever? Child sacrifice is hella based and wholesome to liberals.
ancient egypt could be cool, but I figure the religious angle with the crusades could be interesting. The problem with mesoamerica is that it would be too similar to the recent predator film. Feudal Japan or ancient china are other completely different options.
The crusades could work but I don't know about Japan or China, I was thinking of Egypt and Mesoamerica because pyramids/ancient aliens stuff.
Aliens are from the future, though. You wanna add time travel to an already convoluted plot?
they weren't until prometheus/covenant retconned it. At this point who give a frick with this mess of a franchise. I just want a good stand alone film.
Just use the neomorph.
No they aren’t, the Alien branch of the franchise just happens to be set in the future. The Xenomorph is older than anything, it’s just that David managed to manipulate the black goo into a facsimile of them. He wanted perfection and the alien is a perfect organism.
Nice retcon. I rescind my comment.
Alien play with iPad
dump Ridley Scott
wait 5 or 10 years
make a new alien movie that doesn't suck
Alien: Resurrection had a good starting point: military experimentation on the xenomorphs. I'd like to see a movie that focuses solely on that. No goofy misfit mercenaries needed.
Alien Resurrection would have been great if they’d just done another draft that didn’t have the Ripley clone. The logic behind that is moronic. Imagine if the film was just “the military in the future found some eggs and they’re doing an experiment” and it was just two hours of shit hitting the fan on a ship while a colorful crew of mercenaries try to survive and make their way through the ship to their own ship and escape. A perfect little bottle episode.
yes absolutely. I'd also enjoy that.
Alien Resurrection is really a good starting point, but like you say it needs another draft.
Doesn't even need to be set in the "future" like Resurrection for that. The primary thing fans wanted was for it to still have the aesthetic of Alien/Aliens. Have that same plot but set near them and look like them and it'd be great.
Animated anthology.
Nah. Those are notoriously trash.
It's been done to death.
Whole thing is best relegated to horror survival gaming since that genre seems to be the best place for it.
It's actually in a pretty good spot right now (AvP aside), but Disney, with its horrible record, will probably manage to frick it up.
what are you talking about, covenant was garbage. it's the worst film in the entire franchise.
You got filtered big time, buddy.
Would it be? Anyway, check out Poul Anderson's The High Crusade (the novel).
>You got filtered big time, buddy.
its shallow poorly written trash trying to pass itself off as intellectual. you got fooled big time, buddy.
What is it about, anon?
flutes, gay romance and slipping on blood.
That's what I thought. Little pleb anon got filtered hard.
I'm being facetious, moron. No wonder you were fooled into thinking covenant was deep.
Okay, break it down then.
>break down something that isn't deep.
Should be easy then.
Convincing someone they've been fooled is never easy. You'd first have to tell me what value you see in it, before anyone could tell why you're mistaking shallow schlock for something deep.
You're still dodging. Nice try.
I can't show you something if it doesn't exist. the film has real no depth, ergo I can't show you any depth.
Why is it called Covenant, anon?
You do understand how just referencing deeper stories or material doesn't make something itself deep, right?
>Look! the ships called the covenant and it has couples, this is just like noah from my bible!
ISHYDDT. there's a reason tolkien said references is for hacks
Took you plenty of time to google that. But it's not really what I was getting at.
>Thinks I need to use google to know that covenant is referencing the bible.
I'm not sitting in this thread to immediately reply to you, i frick off then come back and check the thread. the same way it took your 25 minutes to reply.
>But it's not really what I was getting at.
Then stop hiding behind smug trite posts and just state why you think the film is deep directly, oh insightful one.
It's in reference to the Ark of the Covenant and Jericho you moron not Noah's Ark.
shill alert
reboot it entirely using practical effects rather than cgi, but give the humans better tech and have the original ending where the alien bites the last survivor's head off when they think they are finally safe
Few anons seem to have watched Outlander.
That movie was abysmal. Just because it's Jim doesn't make it good..
fun movie idea but I don't like it
The show is better
us department of education discretionary funding
One of the larger Human colony planets somehow gets infested. What starts off as one lone alien slowly evolves into complete chaos as thousands more are made. Space marines are called and show up just in time to assist the mass exodus of who ever is left off the planet. Oh and predators show up to hunt for fun. Basically the Alien vs Predator capcom arcade game.
So Aliens but bigger? Yawn.
Frick you, aliens the size of buildings. The exo squad and Gundam units must fight together to take these bloody besterds down!!!
>Frick you, aliens the size of buildings.
My focusing on the shared universe aspect and actually tying the Predator and Alien movies together more.
I thought about this back when Covenant came out. You can keep all the movies as canon, but you’ve got to fix a few holes.
Prometheus 2. A stand alone movie set shortly after the first Prometheus. Instead it’s about a rescue crew arriving some time after the events of the first film. There they encounter the remains of the ship left on the planet as well as a fully grown Deacon. During the film they find another engineer ship, as LV-223 was a military outpost with multiple ships. The one they find has alien eggs in the hull and the film ends with the entire rescue crew getting killed by various xenos. An engineer that gets awoken during the third act takes off in his ship but a chest burster comes out of him and causes it to crash land into LV-426 - The planet from Alien. Now we have a completed trilogy for Prometheus.
Next do a predator movie in space. A hunting party selects a USCM ship to conduct a hunt. We get thirty space marines versus three predators in tight corridors. Alien on steroids. The film ends with the surviving crew crash landing on a colonist planet, a large colony in the distance. They begin the trek across the alien landscape and the credits roll. Now we have two complete trilogies of Predator movies.
A new Alien movie set some time after the events of Resurrection. Corporal Hicks never died and was taken by Weyland Yutani, kept in cryo for hundreds of years. It’s alluded to that the events of Aliens: Colonial Marines happened. He’s been awoken by an earth military that acquired Wey-Yu assets after they got bought out. He has more experience with the Xenomorph than anyone so they give him an offer. He can continue military service for them as a consultant with the aliens or they’ll just kill him. Given the circumstances he’s in, he reluctantly takes the offer. It’s revealed the military has a Xenomorph Queen, something they recovered frozen in ice at the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean (the Queen from AvP). One of his advisory things is to conduct any and all experiments with the Xenomorph far away from human populated space, so they move operations to a ship on the edges of colonized territory. It’s there that the ship comes under attack from raiders and the specimens get loose. It’s revealed the attackers are Ripley and crew from Resurrection. Cal found out about the experiment and Ripley-8 was eager to interrupt it. Things happen, the ship gets blown up and Hicks leaves with their crew. Their ship suffered some damage, so the film ends with them headed towards the nearest human outpost that can fix it. It’s the same planet from the end of the Predator movie. Now we have two Alien trilogies.
The final film is Alien Vs Predator 3. Hicks, Ripley and co arrive at the outpost for repairs. The marines from the predator movie are not far off from their ground approach. But the Yautja are a bit pissed after the embarrassing defeat of their hunting party. They send a full force of Yautja to pursue the marines. Unfortunately for everybody, this planet wasn’t first settled by humans. It was settled by David after Covenant. Humans built the colony far enough away from him, so it went unnoticed. But the crashing ship at the end of the Predator movie got his attention. He’s been following on the marines’ trail along with various Xenomorph experiments. The marines make it to the outpost and breathe a sigh of relief, before two dozen Yautja arrive. Then once shit has hit the fan, David’s alien creations arrive halfway through the second act. Leading to a massive third act bloodbath built up over three movies. Now there’s a complete AvP trilogy.
The franchise ends here.
>Yautja
Gaylord detected.
I’m sorry that I use the canonical terms for the species. I’ll try to do better.
don't take pride in being a casual normie, Black personbrains

Replace the word "rescue" with "explorer" and its the same fricking plot as prometheus.
Pretty much. But Prometheus is literally beat for beat Alien but without the Alien and black goo instead. It’s a bit repetitive, but it fixes the holes that rewriting Alien Origins into Prometheus created. Plus, it lets us see the Deacon as an adult. And nobody expects your entire human cast to die horribly, so it would be a nice little surprise for the audience. The beats can be the same, but you can diversify the carnage enough for the audience to still like it.
My point is you could easily change a few things to make it less repetitive. for example they could find something different from just another engineer ship.
>And nobody expects your entire human cast to die horribly
Already happened with covenant.
Eh, you probably could make it less repetitive. Point is, have a movie that doesn’t leave us blue balled with the Deacon, establishes that David didn’t create the alien and explains the connection between it and the black goo, while also explaining how the ship got to LV-426 and why the crew from that ship didn’t instead hear Shaw’s distress signal coming from the neighboring LV-223.
No. Predator is an action franchise, Alien is a horror franchise. Merging them would be bad for both IPs. AvP should never leave non-canon crossover territory.
kino.
Make Earth Hive and Nightmare Asylum. Trilogy and Duology. Should have been done after Aliens.
>Earth Hive
No. Story is fricking stupid and gay.
Hey frick you. They would be pure kino.
Did they ever explain why the aliens have exhaust pipes coming out of their backs?
Do they need to explain how this alien can take on any DNA it wants? Its fun thats it
David thought it looked cool.
My head cannon was always it had something to do with the fact they can survive in space and submerged in molten lead, so almost like a terraformer/regulator on its back that allows it to survive, but the one from Alien3 didn’t have those so………. then again you can chalk that up to what was convenient on a set of a movie with a tumultuous production and they just took the tubes off so the actor could move around more easily and so the tubes didn’t keep falling off, etc. which is why it has no tubes but whatever……
>the one from Alien3 didn’t have those
It's the only one that came from an animal so the tubes may have something to do with humans.
It's not canon, so doesn't matter
Maybe the tubes just allow it to move on all 4s or upright and switch between easily or some shit. They look like snorkels though I always assumed it had to do with adapting to whatever environment they’re in.
I always thought to was help with speed and expelling heat, kinda like Resistance Fall of Man
Hive world movie, throw in some Yautja while you're at it. Balls to the wall fight with the xenos on their home turf to survive.
I am currently playing Aliens Dark Descent and aside from the gay as frick auto quarantine trope at the beginning it is pretty good.
I would erase every film except the original (I'd allow Alien: Isolation to remain, however). There's no reason it needs to be a franchise.
Bring the movies back to "single monster killing off people in isolated place who are at a disadvantage" Basically just keep making Alien and Alien3 and Isolation i know there's multiple aliens but you really only see 1 at a time which heightens the horror element
More aliens on screen doing alien appropriate things. A high quality mass slaughter scene where at least a few dozen aliens are observed to be killed. The alien counter attack where they respond by sending thousands to 10's of thousands of aliens, consistent with their giant ant like nature. The government finally gets to use them as weapons.
Aliens dont operate like this I thought. They are insects that that spread like the flood from halo, unless it has a gravemind to, idk the deep lore
Full on penatritive sex between the alien and sigourney weaver.
ron pearlman watches.
YO LIL XENO
just frick off with all the gay extended lore and make it claustrophobic horror again. yes i know aliens was a great action movie but dont even try it youre not james cameron
Modern artists are so fricking shit. That alien looks like dogshit. Half of what makes aliens creepy is their almost humanish appearance. Like their teeth when they snark is supposed to almost look like a human mouth like if a human was making that same grimace, but in that pic and also in the designs from covenant the xenos have no cheeks so they just have this big dumb looking grinning jaw filled with molars, all creepiness gone. Some troony was paid to design these creatures and didn’t even understand or care about them, probably never even seen any alien movies and just watched some YouTube vids of aliens scenes when they were sketching concepts. Those NuAliens look like the Cheshire Cat.
Isnt that explainable? I thought aliens generally change over time anyway, it all depends on the derived host
Yeah why would human ones look different? A dog, fine. But why would a human xeno have lips and then not have lips, it’s just different people designing the monster. But removing its face and giving it a gay toothy molar smile is moronic.
The ones in Covenant looked decent.
Those back legs make it look fricking stupid when it crawls around
Looks the same as OP. No face, just a big toothy smile. The snarl and curling back of the lips is their trademark. That one and the OP look like shit.
Because the one in covenant is like a pure breed one. Clearly the xeno in alien 1 is biomechanically augmented and mixed with a human.
pretty sure alien isolation was model after the original film props. also they had an alt skin that had the see through head where you can see the skull. pretty cool
Another example of this, everyone calls the Predator's head tendril things dreadlocks and every subsequent artist starts treating them like actual hair
Predlocks
That alien is literally Big Chap with digitigrade legs you moron kek
A show set on Sevastopol right before Isolation would be kino
They have the perfect movie set up in front of them, but they refuse to make it
That Xeno in OP is near 1:1 with the movie suit you moronic gay
>no lips to curl back and snarl which is the xenos trademark and instead a permanent DUUHH HEY GUYS! smile
Idc if it’s 1:1 that ruins the whole thing. I mean it still looks kinda cool just an ugly downgrade and missing the point of the thing’s design.
picrel looks like he’s smiling
>awww he’s smiling 🙂
Yeah and that's the Covenant design, not the image in question
If you're claiming OP looks like it's smiling, then I revert to my original statement of you being moronic, immensely so.
Yeah alright fine the Isolation one looks sick. But if the OP one is from Isolation then I guess that’s just a really bad angle. Probably the model of the game warping as it does an animation.
picrel looks like a fierce angery snarl
The alien design you're currently b***hing about is about to kill the person it's facing, so naturally its lips are peeled back. Aside from that, it's extremely close to the original design from Alien, Kane's Son.
The 20th Anniversary shorts were actually really good, see if ANY of those directors can make a full on movie and let them do it; suddenly you have a good movie.
I'd also get someone to make an Alien vs Predator movie with actual Colonial Marines instead of MODERN DAY bullshit.
I wouldn't.
Make a movie were the alien wins.
make it where the ayys are the good guys, they won, saved us all and we're in the bright shining future of joy.
and the israelite schemes against them.
AVP
Drop the pretentious bullshit, focus on the horror aspect more.
I'd probably just adapt some of the comics.
A lot of people were expecting some loose rewrite of Earth Hive after Resurrection.
stop making movies. not everything needs to be a franchise, not everything needs an infinite amount of sequels. make new stuff.
Alien Isolation was scarier than any of the movies. It just goes to show how tough and brave Ripley was in Alien that so many people get too scared playing Isolation and quit.
I was scared at first, but after a couple hours in, the xeno just starts becoming an annoying nuisance. Now I know why Ripley was so pissed off and tired by Alien 3.
Make the 2nd and 3rd Shadows trilogy books/podcasts into 2 movies. No woke bullshit thrown in.
All the characters have flaws, make mistakes, and are somewhat relatable. Ripley isnt needed in either but if they choose to leave her in it shouldnt hurt.
full penetration
Explicit Xeno sex.
Alien comes to earth and lands in Africa proceeded by 120 minutes of total Black person death
This but NY instead. Let the tribesman be, I wanna see some inner city/lefty nogs get absolutely obliterated and disgraced while they beg Biden for help.
would be sick
Have a 15 minute scene where a female xenomorph rapes a guy, 1 billion easily
Fill the cast with horny Mexican girls
I think it's time to give the fans what they really want: Futa xenomoprhs with H-cup breasts.
yes
I kinda just want more stories set in the Alien universe but not having the Alien. Like Outland. Just the look and feel were awesome. Space actually comes off as vast and they seem like they're in far away places. Make one about life on Sevastopol station.
You reboot the whole cinematic universe with Aliens vs Predator vs Terminator.
stop making them and come up with something original
I had a lot of fun watching Scott's impotent attempts to reinvent the genre after Chad Cameron defined his own creation forever. As a sequel its really hard to top Aliens as it did literally everything right. Scott cannot even properly reproduce the byzantine technology motive that is such an important part of the franchise and that EVERY director after the first Alien managed to do right, it's like the boomer doesn't understand what made his own movies tick. And FRICK the engineers, they are gay, the original Pilot idea was much, much cooler than some angsty buttholes and their literal shit that produces le demons that erupt from your chest in minutes.
You can really smell the seethe in these movies as he tries going down the pseudointellectual route even chucking his christhomosexualry in there and none of that stuff works, its just a cringe slasher.
>Chad Cameron made an army of bugs go chomp chomp and space marines go pew pew! We need this ad infinitum!
>even chucking his christhomosexualry in there
Implying Jesus is an alien from another planet isn't Christian at all.
>declare every movie made after Aliens to be not canon
that's all that needs to be done
That and to make a decent movie set right after Aliens to get it back on track, which is what Blomkamp was trying to do
he's a hack fraud and that movie would have sucked
Better than the stupid Alien Romulus, Alien tv show, and Ridley slop we're getting instead
Give them plump lips
I wouldn't.
I give it to Ridley for good. I just need the David arc to be finished. It's the only good thing about alien since the original 1979 hit movie before cameron ruined it
Would
I would bring it back to its roots, Alien 1, and go in a different direction than Cameron.
I would make the creature be as intelligent, if not more intelligent than humans. I would make it able to mimic human speech (like Ridley's idea for the ending).
I would make the creature be able to "Giger-ize" not only biological matter but also mechanical objects. I would make it able to produce eggs and also make eggs out of other organisms (the deleted scene with Dallas and Brett).
All in all I would make it a horrifying eldritch monstrosity which just consumes, corrupts and transforms its environment for its own goals.
Change them back into space jockeys and have them try to take over Earth with biotechnology
aliens vs terminators
Go back in time and make it legally impossible for anyone to make anything after part 4.
Canonize Alien 1979 with deleted scenes and Alien Isolation. Everything else into the trash.
>Aliens is ungood
Wow yer deep. What about it even rustles your jimmies anyhow?
Alien 3 was good.
There was some good ideas that should have been focused on more. Having a film with Ripley gestating a chestbuster while the alien doesn't harm her and kills all of the crew around her would have been really compelling but its barely focused on in the actual released film. And Fincher basically giving a middle finger to Cameron and his franchise bait was cool. Sending Ripley off with a story of sacrifice and ending the franchise with her was commendable. But then resurrection had to happen and beat that dead horse.
Nah, the whole thing was dumb. Characters barely surviving and returning home is an acceptable end and much better than pulling some stupid reason out of your ass to have them yet again fight the monster on the way home and die horribly. They could have made an entirely new character for Alien 3 and it would have been decent.
this. have ripley go into cryosleep hoping for the best, but knowing her ship isn't going to be found. have her be a ghost story for spacers and never seen again.
to cut ties with her, have alien be an anthology movie like creepshow or enter the matrix. have indie directors or even youtubers make movies on shoestring budgets, and with no name actors. it's what they should have done with ghostbusters, etc. they shut down the old ghostbusters franchises in cities fan films of the early 00's instead.
at most you should see something slither or move out the corner of the frame as the paranoia is slowly overtaking everyone. like a rat.
Imagine the missing director's cut
Assembly cut was good but depressing. How was the original?
Not good but still depressing
Do you collect Xenomorph figured, anons?
>no snake alien
they had some neat mega construx alien figures, and nerf did an m41 rifle
I got a bro printing the Papsikels minis series with aliens and predators with dutch, ripley, newt, the loader, queens, dropship and tank etc.
I'm going to use the culture hustle brand Black Mirror, the blackest black, and the whitest white for the xenomorphs along with some funky inks and pigments he has.
hes got like 5 big resin printers and another coming in that hes testing settings for production, and is going to do the guyver set for me next month.
>going to do the guyver set for me next month
Wait Papsikels did a Guyver set? Also I'm currently playing as the Predator in my DnD group using Papsikels Feral Predator mini.
It's over. Prometheus ruined it. Forget about it.
Facehugger preggos a human with cancer in a newly settled human colony.
That human boards a commercial ship on its way to a space station similar to Sevastopol.
On its way to the station the alien pops out spreading terror. Because of the cancer, the alien is very different than most and mutates, more rapidly if it's hurt.
You have your usual panic, tension, trying to figure out a way to kill the alien, etc, but it's all futile and the ship arrives to the station with no survivors.
Once in the station, it's when the alien starts changing for real and it can grow face huggers out of his skin, so some people end up preggo'd.
From there it should be easy. Humans losing ground, retreating and cornering theirselves. Trying to find out what's going on. The usual. It could be one movie or a trilogy too.
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 he 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 this year's harvest over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.
The series died by showing the monster too much and not utilizing the foreboding atmosphere and aesthetic that the first two movies had.
Also, stop fricking letting Ridley Scott direct these god damn movies. He's utterly ignorant to what was done right in the first.
Have a film from the pov of the alien. Nobody ever wants to hear his thoughts on things and brother, he is down bad
>corporate espionage
>Military Industrial Complex private-public partnerships
>Weyland-Yutani merger circumstances
Show the privatization of space travel and exploration and the lengths terran powers that be will go to prevent Space Cowboys free ranging in the great beyond. Have an Arrival-but-not-gay element of AI doing linguistic reconstruction of Engineerese. Rip off 3000 Space Odyssey payoffs and 3 Body Problem Dark Forest and War In Heaven themes, and not Ancient Aliens tier ancient aliens archaeology.
Why do all these horror IPs keep flocking to such a shit game? (DBD for those lucky enough to not know.)
Alien Isolation is scarier than any horror movie
Because it's a game that makes a lot of money and has brand recognition, therefore it's easier to secure license deals.
T. zoomer contrarian. Go floss yourself.
>He thinks DbD is good
Im tired of pretending that Covenant is not great because of "le blothol XD" redditor complains.
Alien > Prometheus > Covenant > assembly cut > resurrection = aliens > a3 theatrical
>resurrection = aliens
Jesus fricking Christ you're beyond saving
I can actually justify it. Resurrection is a masterclass in both cinematography and music. It just has a shit Whedon script but the actual movie is beatiful.
Aliens, for what it is, a dumb action movie, has a great script sure, but shit tier cinematography and music.
They are both the action blockbusters of the original 4, so they are shit anyways.
No.
>Alien 3 > AVP1 > Alien = Aliens > A:R > Prometheus = Covenant > AVP2
Sorry but I’m right.
It's an incredibly stupid and boring way to take the story.
>Prometheus ending: Shaw and David off to go find the real engineers, explore their amazing scifi world, see what happened with them and hopefully make peace
>NOT! Actually Shaw died off-screen on the way there, David killed all the Engineers, then just sat around jerking off on alien drawings and Shaw's corpse likely to never leave the planet again. Luckily for him, a human colony ship JUST SO HAPPENS to be passing by this engineer planet and he can hijack it to take to a new planet, kill all the crew, and infect all the colonists yay!
The overall arc could have been so much more.
Isolation could be a really good miniseries
bring Jeri to the big screen
I’m not sure it can be. It’s like Terminator, where the first two films are essentially perfect and explore the ideas as much as they logically need to be. Everything that came after just diluted things like the mystery of the Space Jockey, that were better left as hanging questions in the minds of the audience. Terminator Salvation and the opening of Genisys proved to me that as much as we all wanted a full movie-length version of the future war, in practice nobody had a clue how to actually do it justice. It was better left as something the audience fleshed out for themselves. Beyond that, every other good Alien story was done in comics by Dark Horse in the 90’s, so beyond adapting those I really can’t think of anything compelling or that justifies its reason to exist.
How about this: a Xenomorph infestation breaks out on a prosperous, metropolitan colony world very different to the frontier shitholes we’re used to seeing in these movies. Full-blown Byzantine Blade Runner-scale cityscapes and corporatism run wild. It’s naturally the result of a corporation experimenting with Xenomorph biology in a pharmacology lab several stories beneath the surface. The marines are sent in to extract valuable corporate assets, but at least half the squad are combat synthetics - the twist is their Laws of Robotics programming clashes with their orders and they decide evacuating the surviving civilians is more important, bringing them into conflict with their human squadmates.
>full movie-length version of the future war, in practice nobody had a clue how to actually do it justice.
It doesn't help that when they do it, they change the look and feel to something completely different. Their future war movie never once looked like the ones portrayed in Terminator 1/2. And they do the same thing to everything after Aliens, it never looks the same as Alien/Aliens except for Alien Isolation. They really underestimate that aspect of it and just think "hey, we'll toss the xeno into any slasher script and it'll be scary" and just make it a generic monster in a generic movie, when people loved the Alien movies for a lot more than just the creature
Genisys tried with the nighttime aesthetics and laser light, but all that proved to me is that Hollywood is now incapable of reproducing the grit and visual texture of the T1 and T2 flashbacks. I doubt even Cameron himself could do it at this point, he’s gone so deep into the hole of CGI and filming on a digital backlot.
Kill every israelite in pedowood and set the CIA HQ on fire. Then produce Earth Hive like was supposed to have been done already.
make a live action movie of this kino
Alien Isolation was kino. They got it right. Do something with that, stupid Hollywood!!!!
They won't adapt Isolation, it'd look just like Alien.
Good. That's what everyone wants. Sure beats the look they keep giving it instead
I doubt everyone wants Alien just with different characters.
Sevastopol has its own lore and story, anon.
its a character on its own.
It's too similar to Alien, it worked as a game but they're not gonna adapt it.
There's nothing similar about it except for the look. And the look is what everone wants. They'd be smart to adapt it, which is why they'll just make slop like Alien Romulus instead.
The story is similar too, the egg even came from the same place.
>remove everything from the canon that isn't alien, aliens, and alien 3
>remove everything from the canon that isn't predator, predator 2, and predators
>make a new R rated aliens vs predator set in the future and not modern day
there, it's saved
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
Exhibit D
It went on for long enough, but not too long. Didn't really hate any of them, which is more than I can say for most franchises.
frick off the xenomorphs all together
colonial marines: the movie
Go back in time to 1986. Aliens is a big hit. Somehow get rid of Ripley and replace her with Hicks for Alien 3.
