People who think Aliens surpass the originals are just braindeaded Americans who need explosions and guns in order to keep their autisitc brains fixated.
Unfortunately it was not kept secret, and was part of the marketing that Arnie would be the good guy, which undermines the way the first part of the film was designed to throw you off. Pity. Studio marketing gays thinking they needed to sell it to the audience by spoiling shit.
Turns out they didn't need to anyway, and also turned out it didn't stop anyone enjoying the film. Just made the move a 10 out of 10 instead of giving you the WTF?-11/10 moment as God-Cameron intended.
It's like knowing Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father before you see Empire, (spoiler).
Which is proof of how well written shit really was back then. Movies were generally designed to be seen stand alone, even if sequel/part of franchise, and it really was a good thing. Challenging for the writers I'm sure, but really led to some great creative writing instead of just lazy flashback type stuff or some shit like that, or expecting you to watch an entire series nobody gives a frick about on Disney+.

Danny Glover redpilled me on this one with both Lethal Weapon and Predator 2
Lethal Weapon specifically, as I watch them as a teen and never in my fricking life watched them all in order
I could only pinpoint the last one because it was the one with the babies
The way they were written was generally ambiguous, so that you could enjoy it if you had never seen the prior film(s), but also get more out of it if you had.
Early MCU had this going on a bit too for people who had read the comics or seen other material. I was a big IRON MAN fan since before the MCU, so I got a kick out of a lot of details the average gay would have missed, (condensed from decades worth of comics), but you didn't need to know it to enjoy the film if you came in cold.
That used to be THE accepted way to write a movie. Even with the exceptions where you pretty much should have seen the previous films, (like 'Back to the Future III' or 'Return of the Jedi'), they would make it as accessible as possible for any n00bs by trying to make a complete-within-itself film as much as humanly possible. That way, you could enjoy that film and actually want to go back and watch the others.
Aliens is a perfect example of DOING IT RIGHT: >b***h gets found floating in space >has some wiener and bull story about an alien wiping out her ship >Ellen Ripley's character and universe totally reintroduced
in a totally natural way where it could be only film introducing them >never saw first alien film? No problem >then see first Alien film and shit totally fits and they enhance each other like pottery that rhymes >true kino achieved
came here for this. black pearl is kino but dead man’s chest is more creative with worldbuilding, story, and action. World’s End is worth a watch for the conclusion to the Dead Man’s Chest story and the fun battles.
Phantasm II cranked up the action and it holds it's own as the best entry to the Phantasm series. Although I do like how the hemicuda was more prominently featured in the first
Temple of Doom is still superior to Raiders regardless of whatever semantic games we want to play over a dumb made-up word invented by George Lucas in the 90s
I have to disagree with T2. It was the first Terminator movie I saw and thought it was amazing (still is), but the original Terminator is an amazing sci-fi horror.
Aliens was good too, but Alien was fricking amazing by its atmosphere, setting, and how these were regular working class people that didn't have weapons against a dangerous creature.
Aliens
barely even the same movie not even the same genre
frick off

no
The Two Towers
I liked the one towers better
I agree, it totally outdid the 1993 bombing..
Patent trap 2
When this came out did the adds have Arnie as the hero or was it a mind frick? I actually saw this one before the first when I was a kid.

evil dead 2
come on anon that was too easy
t2>t1
alien>aliens
this is the correct opinions
>T2 over T1
absolutely, utterly and unequivocally filtered
you're opinions on anything should be disregarded
I dont really get why people consider T2 better than T1? T1 is pretty much better in every way.
all the cameron movie
Aliens > Alien
T2 > Terminator
Avatar 2 > Avatar
Titanic 2?
Avatar 2 was boring
The secret to making a good sequel is to just add children. Cameron unlocked the code
Highlander 2
All my kex.
Where did you get this video of me winning internet arguments?
You're wrong, since the first installment has sergeant Reese (dog tag number DN38416), working in the Tech-Com facility of the Resistance.
Dead mans chest > Curse of the black pearl > At worlds end
came here for this. black pearl is kino but dead man’s chest is more creative with worldbuilding, story, and action. World’s End is worth a watch for the conclusion to the Dead Man’s Chest story and the fun battles.
i prefer the original
Rush Hour 2
There's actually quite a few where this is the case
>Dawn of the Dead
>Friday the 13th Part II
>Phantasm II
>From Russia with Love
Phantasm II cranked up the action and it holds it's own as the best entry to the Phantasm series. Although I do like how the hemicuda was more prominently featured in the first
>emasculated, pacifist T-800
Nah.
Bad Boys II
Toy Story 2
Shrek 2
Tron Legacy
Mission Impossible 2
BR2049
Oh, and Matrix Reloaded.
Back To The Future II
22 Jump Street
Temple Of Doom
Empire Strikes Back
Anchorman 2
>Temple Of Doom
Not a sequel. Try again.
Ok I'll bite. How the frick is Temple of Doom not a sequel?
It takes place before Raiders.
Temple of Doom is still superior to Raiders regardless of whatever semantic games we want to play over a dumb made-up word invented by George Lucas in the 90s
VASTLY overrated
american ninja 2
I can't believe it's been 17 years since that fricking movie came out, and it was only 12 years since Clerks before it.
>you want us to extract some suck boy's nut juice?
he was great in this
Problem Child 2
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope is better than Episode I, II, and III.
WTF happened to Arnold? Seriously did he not save a single fricking cent? Jesus Christ...
Just retire and then in a decade die with dignity.
you James
because you surpassed your father
proud of you
Alien >= Aliens
T1>=T2
Any other opinion is stupid
psycho II > psycho
come at me
Alien is better than Aliens and T1 is better than T2 despite what popular opinion might tell you.
I ain't even joking.
I have to disagree with T2. It was the first Terminator movie I saw and thought it was amazing (still is), but the original Terminator is an amazing sci-fi horror.
Aliens was good too, but Alien was fricking amazing by its atmosphere, setting, and how these were regular working class people that didn't have weapons against a dangerous creature.
I always wanted a german when I was a kid too
