Is Ridley senile?
>>
>>220045894
what's the problem
>>
How did the chest burster grow into a full sized xenomorph so quickly without any calories to eat? 0/10 would not watch.
>>
>>220045894
They were not supposed to be the literal same navigator, dumbass. It's like finding a WW2 pilot and a Vietnam pilot.
>>
>>220046009
they seem to have skipped over the part where the navigator was biologically fused into the chair and became a part of the ship
>>
someone post the old comic book explanation.

the real-life explanation is it's a set/painting in a film. you can watch Star Wars without wondering what every building in Cloud City is for.
>>
>>220046475
That was never stated in Alien... could just be the way the fossil merges the body and seat together. Also how do you know it wasn't just a cockpit suit which buckles the pilot in? You are making assumptions based on theories.
>>
>>220046511
Nobody in their right mind gives a shit about comic books and you know it
>>
>>220046527
Yes, it was literally stated openly and explicitly in Alien, fucking retard.
>>
>>220046916
what you see is not openly stating it
>>
>>220046550
of course, but no explanation other than the one i gave is the 'real one'.

the comic book is just a harmless bit of fun. i'm not saying it's the super-for-realsies canon anon DON'T HAVE AN ANEURYSM AGAIN

Drunkard more like. Regardless he terminally wounded the franchise with Covenant and Romlus was the bullet to the head. Alien Earth is Disney weekend at Bernie's the corpse

There are only 2 Alien movies worth a watch.
>>
>>220045894
I mean, obviously… Neville Page is no Giger. Yeah the original design was larger, built into the ship, and way more interesting than reimagining it as an alien space suit — but things change. Maybe they even tried building a huge Space Jockey puppet as a practical effect and it just didnt work out.

Stop being retarded.

No, it's just that Ridley is a pleb.

>>220045894
he had the idea that it was a suit since the 90s

Yeah

It’s why Prometheus flopped
>>
>>220057734
No, it is biotech and can consume inorganic material. The chestburster was eating parts of the ship. It's why the xenomorph has corrugated tubes and such all over it
>>
>the first movie (doesn't make sense until you watch all the 10 sequels and half dozen prequels)
YES.
>>
>>220055184
Because that's a unrelated Giger design that wasn't made for Alien.
>>
>>220046969
>what you see is not openly stating it
It's stated in the dialogue, retard.
>>
>>220059231
Prometheus was a huge box office success for an R-rated film.
>>
>>220059698
The first movie is ruined and made completely irrelevent by the pretend prequels. They're actually reboots masquerading as prequels. They never connect to Alien whatsoever but act like the same events occurred on a different planet just a few days before Alien. Now, this ancient space jockey is not thousands of years long dead so it's fossilized, nor merged with the ship so it's actually a weird shocking space horror, nor actually the first time humans have ever found extraterrerestrial life. Nope, there's aliens all over the goddamn place and humans have been fighting them for centuries. The things are worse than a cockroach infestation. And humans always lose at getting them, but keep on trying no matter how much it costs. Oh, we have a dinky little mining ship with tons of valuable cargo? Lets be sure to send that out to collect a Xenomorph we know is super dangerous and has destroyed hundreds of our previous attempts that were way better prepared and funded! We won't tell them anything either and just send an android to sabotage them hehe. Alien is made fucking stupid by the pretend prequels.

Twitter and Reddit are filled with the terminally online, not normalfags. They're just as autistic as you.

I'm a 2003 4chan originalfag, former BBS sysop, hentai manga hostmaster, but I am also a sexhaver with adult kids now. I don't know what people like you think a "normalfag" is anymore but I certainly consider most of you rats beneath me.

not really, it flopped and killed its own intended trilogy

That's the original Giger design and idea for the xenomorph, biomechanical et all, but they never explained it in the movie. Then Hackmeron retconned them into space-bugs.

Ridley didn't have enough ideas for a trilogy. He just started making shit up and changing it on the fly. Bait and switched the audience real good. First tacking on the alien to get people to see his engineer movie which is actually about le angry android. Then promising a sequel with a woman going on an adventure to finally meet the engineers. Whoops, actually both her and the engineers are killed off screen by le angry android! Got you again haha! Classic Ridley.
