>is never explained
>>214202261good
>>214202702Except the movie felt the need to explain everything else about Alien
>>214202261Didn't need some idiot monologuing an explanation. The movie explained it as it went on. The goo leads to xenomorphs. Instead of transporting eggs or queens you can just transport the canisters and start up the cycle of xenos whenever you want. Apparently their seals on the canisters aren't that good
Don't you worship bioweapons?
>>214202819The goo had numerous different outcomes you mongoloid fuck and it was David the android created by humans that is said to have created the first xenomorph which doesn't make sense because of these murals
>>214202819What's the point of xenomorphs and why are they so important? They're just weird space animals that eat people. I'm sure a highly advanced civilization thousand of years progressed beyond the first nuke could come up with a better weapon than that.
>>214202857Doesn’t make sense to YOU.
>>214202819Holy shit your idiotic speculation is so wrong, you stupid retard.
>>214202702This, not everything needs an answer
>>214202898retard
>>214202884Explain how these murals exist when it's canon that David created the first xenomorph? Explain why the goo had different outcomes, explain why the Engineers would leave a map to their one of their outposts as a warning for humans not to come here all over Earth
The black goo is an all purpose mutagen that can be used in a variety of ways.The engineer in the intro sequence takes a sip of it in a ritual and his own body dissolving from the mutagen basically starts life on Earth.Since it's so potent it can also be used as a bioweapon on existing lifeforms. Exposure to it seems to "converge" into a xeno-like lifeform which has a preset lifecycle.Considering that the Engineers seem to function in a very ritualized way, it is likely they designed this mutagen on purpose with this dual function so it can both give life and be used to eradicate it.
>>214202921Maybe I am, still a good movie
>>214202857No, he didn't create the first xenomorph. He recreated them through trial and error by infecting shit with the goo. Its obvious how the engineers work. They don't like to simply destroy. They repurpose. They infect a creature to form another creature that again infects another creature. All leading to the xenomorph
>>214202944No.
>>214202958Yes we know the goo can create life as it did on Earth with Humans and Engineers somehow sharing 99.99% of the DNA and as a weapon as the Engineers were about to destroy Earth with it before the outbreak but that has nothing to do with the xenomorph mural that exists before the xenomorph is created by David as it's canon he is the first being to create them
>>214202958Its likely the ultimate end of their science. Why build when you can grow. You simply need something, a base, to start from
>>214203032>Its likely the ultimate end of their scienceblack goo that kills you and makes a monster?why?
>>214202988Ridley Scott has spoken about how David created the xenomorphs so you headcanon doesn't matter
>>214202944>Explain how these murals exist when it's canon that David created the first xenomorph?Are we sure David is the first being to do this? Surely the Engineers could've managed to create Xeno niggas in other planets and we just don't see this happening.
>>214203015Except he isn't because there is a ship that has been sitting for thousands of years on LV426, and its cargo hold is full of eggs
>>214202261It didn't need to be explained. It makes sense in the context of what we're shown. The Engineers made a bioweapon to wipe out Earth. Xenos are that weapon. It only doesn't make sense after Covenant where Scott shit on everything because he's senile and forgot. Or he did it on purpose because he was mad. Doesn't matter.
>>214203053Ridley Scott the creator of the franchise says it was David so yes
>>214203068So you're saying the creator of Alien is wrong and you a random loser on /tv/ knows better? Okay retard
>>214203051>>214203075Mr. Scott is like 100 years old and probably senile, don't trust the shit as 100% accurate, it's more likely that Engineers successfully deployed the weapon in some other places and also managed to create some Xenomorph variant.
>>214203093Ridley Scott is not the creator of Alien you idiot, Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett are. Ridley Scott was the monkey the studio got to direct the film. You literally have no idea what the fuck you're talking about
>>214203159Ridley Scott is the person behind Prometheus the movie you're discussing right now a movie that has no input from O'Bannon or Shusett you dumb cunt
xenomorphs are basically the future space equivalent of tigers, just a dangerous animal predatorwhy are future space tigers so important?
>>214203192Then why are you bringing up shit that happens in Covenant?
>>214203192>desperately moving the goalpostI'm the man behind your mom, retard.
>>214202261Who made this mural?
>>214202261It all makes sense if you just accept David is a hack pseud.
>>214203226Cameron ruined this about the Franchise
>>214203093Yes
>>214202261Sometimes the black goo is a mutagen, sometimes it makes proto-xenomorphs. Whatever the plot needs it to do.
>>214203226That was never correct. They were always a bioweapon, likely created by the space jockeys. The books explain it more.Then cameron fucked it all up.
>>214203787Pretty much this. Just plain old lazy fucking writing.
>>214203897Which books? And don't say comic books or I'll kick you in the throat. >>214203787It's shown in Prometheus. The goo is a mutagen, but the thing it mutates can spawn. That's how Shaw gave birth to the big spacehugger.
>>214202261>Ridley Scott gets the script for Aliens: Engineers>decides to hire the director of LOST to help him neuter it>creates dozens of plot holes, makes every character a retard, drums up a bunch of questions that were answered in the script but now just have a big unanswered voidI highly recommend everyone just reads the original script for Aliens: Engineers. It's really good but it might piss you off to learn what was lost due to Scott's senility.
>>214202975lolololol
>>214203097>Mr. Scott is like 100 years old and probably senile,And that's why these mvies are shit and nobody likes them
>>214203897>They were always a bioweaponheadcanon
>>214205582He needs to not have a say in the script is all.
>>214202944David didn't create shit, he was a broken toaster poking at a corpse in a cave. Did anything in his lair look remotely capable of genetic manipulation? The goo did what the goo does, and David took credit for it because he happened to be poking at Shaw's innards while playing with it.
>>214204041https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Alien_(franchise)_novels&useskin=vector#Dark_Horse_Comics_adaptionsEarth Hive was also what Alien 3 was supposed to be based on and what Aliens: Earth is apparently ripped off from, but they fucked it all up as only pedowood can nowadays. General Spears is in there somewhere two, which is what Alien: Resurrection was based on (and also fucked up).
>>214205601You're a retarded faggot. In the original script the ship in Alien is literally described as a "bomber".
>>214202944>it's canon that David created the first xenomorphNo it isn't. This shit is about as cannon as rey "skywalker".
>>214205682Yeah, him making facehuggers doesn't add up. Holloway drank the goo, got his dna changed then banged Shaw which made the spacehugger baby. How could he make facehuggers with no one to bang Shaw? It's dumb. All of Covenant is dumb, starting with Shaw reassembling him to begin with.
>>214205739Why are you all trying to make sense of non-canon fanfic bullshit?
This movie is proof for me that Ridley doesn't actually understand what makes Alien such an effective film. Ridley doesn't understand a LOT of his own movies. He prefers the worst cut of Blade Runner, for example.
>>214205624Agree. Any input he has in anything beyond directing has always been for the worse with RidleyThat's why Alien didn't fumble.>The alien should walk like a shrimp and...>STFU Ridley>The alien should btfo Ripley, sit on a chair and talk like a human and...>STFU Ridley
>>214205722Not in the movie. And nobody cares about your trivia shit than isn't in the movie.The movie is the movie
>>214206045BR never had a good cut, which would be the final cut, with og virsion colors restored and no unicorn shit sinche Deckard isn't an android
>>214206317Bet you think David's nonsense is canon, huh jew?
>>214202261it is explained: ridley scot is senile and shouldnt be making any movies anymore
>>214203074>behold the ultimate bioweapon!>a big wasp with an extra slow life cycle >its less dangerous than most apex predators>also hates fire and gunfire>pointy objects too
>>214206398I like how his movies just straight-up don't make sense any more. I couldn't figure out the plot of Gladiator 2.
>>214206355Alien has no prequelsand xenos were never bioweapons
>>214206649Prometheus, Alien and Alien 3: Assembly Cut are the only canon.
>>214206671Said noone ever lmao
>>214202261How do people think this is a Xenomorph? It's clearly meant to be a Deacon.
>>214206649Why were they on the ship, you low IQ engagementbot?
>>214206430Most "movies" appear to be written by AI now. They make no sense because there is no sense.
>>214205682He said he needed more humans to experiment with and that's what he got at the end of the movie.
Big Dave didnt create the goo so he didnt create the xenos. He just thought he did. Big Neer created the goo and had created countless various xenos. Big Davidos just took credit from Engineerios work.
>>214203093two things:1. ridley scott is senile2. what he says is retarded so it doesn't count
>>214202261Did you turn off the movie before the end? It's the Deacon teased at the end, you dummy.
>>214206767That not being explained is by designdoesn't mean you have to fill it with your stupid headcanon
>>214206708>2025>still pretending aliens is a good movie
>>214202702/thread
>>214202261Abysmally stupid and pretentious film. The "sequel" was even worse.
>>214207231It's a good action movie but not a good horror movie.Accepting an action movie as a worthy sequel to Alien is another matter.
>>214202261Ever since Tenet I realized most moviegoers are fucking idiots.
>>214202874when did any of them eat any people
>>214202261>You are right I was thinking the same thing that just don't make no sense what so everAlso:When they arrive and find out that the engineers died while running from something>They later found out that there are many more spaceships (How did David knew? This is not shown nor could he have known)At the other bunkers apperantly the same thing happend? The engineers all died and left their ships behind? WTF is this!How are these supreme beeings so dumb?And than the engineer tries to fly away in slow motion and the humans crash their ship into the supreme enginieer space ship and it crashes?What kind of junk have they been building?The daughter of Weyland miss Vickers had a meaningless death. The spaceship falls on her. Was this the best they could think off?Amd than also the first guy that slwaalowed that snake like alien. He went back to the ship and whent in a rage trying to kill everyone. The alien gave him superpowers.Why does the alien wanted to kill everyone?Why did he go into a murderous rage?The alien inside him made him act like a zombie from 28 years later but this was an infecrious bacteriaAnd than the alien gets easy killed by fire?Wtf!
>>214207440For all the complaints about Scott, it's actually Cameron that fucked the franchise. There is no returning after changing the xenos to mindless space bugs.
>If David wanted to create life>Than why didn't he create something that looks like him?Humans build robots that look like themEngenieers made men that kina look like themDavid creates a fucking monster no efford taken to create something that looks like himAnd no way to controle or comunicate with the beast what was the point of creating such abnormal since it has no purpose?A simpel dog has more meaning and purpose than the beast that David createdDavid is a fucking retard>David the retard bombarded the engeneers with the black gooBy doing so he infected the whole plamet amd decides to live there?What a dumb motherfucking retardAnd why didn't the humans wear normal underwear?They wear towels and shit. Imagine beeing wrapped up in towels and in need to take a shit fast. The unwrapping takes a whole lot of time the might as well just shit in the towel and dump it
>>214202874comic book logic. literally resident evil tier.>lets create this self replicating bio weapons that slime up our targets FOR MASSIVE PROFITS. MUHAHAHAHAHAAAA more thought out explanation is something alien 4 touched upon with a single throw away line of dialogue, which is that their chemistry and genetics are unique. Research can lead to a lot of breakthrough for vaccines, alloys, genetic engineering etc. The black blood (goo) in itself is an extremely potent mutagen that can rapidly deconstruct and reconstruct organic material on demand. And the black stuff is processed from xenos By themselves xenos aint nothing more then parasitic predators really. they can barely use basic tools and are only good for melee ambushes in tight spaces. Never capable of achieving space flight without piggy backing on someone
>>214202261Not every prop needs a fully fledged backstory ya dumbo
>>214206671Wrong. Alien and Alien: Isolation are the only canon
>>214208722Where did the black goo come fromWho contructed the black gooHow did the engineers get a hold on itWhy did they store it in cans and not destroy itWhat other weapons did the engineers haveWas dropp8ng the black goo on earth their master plan to destroy earthWhy even bother destroying earth they live millions miles awayWas earth the only planet they created live onIf the engineers drink the black goo than human lives comes from itWhy did the engineer not kolonise earth and start with a bunch of engineers amd live there>Why even bother commiting suicide on a other planet and wait thousands of years to see what became of it?When the engineer wakes up the first thing he wanted to do was continue his mission to go to earh and destroy it?This engineer didn't want to go home?Why?Why did they build a engineer shape head statue inside the bunker?Why bother with art work?
God I hate nerds. Its a horror franchise about a creepy alien. Literally turn your brain off. It's horror. The one genre where you are expected to.
>>214202944>David created the first xenomorphthat's like saying you created the wooden table in minecraft. it's just a recipe. david was just another one who stumbled upon it.
Alien 9th Circle some guy put this masterpiece togetherNo English subtitles anywhereWhy even botherAnyone actually seen the 9th circle edition?50min extra runtime is it worth it?Does it elaborate on stuf or is it just deleted scenes that don't add any value?Where are the english subtitles at?
>>214202261It was just some fanart posted to the engineer's equivalent of deviantart.
>>214209231Then you must dislike ridley scott for trying to make it more complex than that in the first place.
>>214202261so was the stonehenge
Its explained in the movie. Murals of engineers lead humans to planet Iceland. So murals of xenos prove xenos made engineers.
>>214202261Look at its wrists. They made the goo from the blood of that being. it was the original source. they may have engineered that alien first, maybe not, then derived goo from it. and all the urns in that room surrounding the giant wounded head, it feels like a tribute to him. must've been an important Engineer.
>>214203051interviews are not canon, retard, hew was also talking about the protomorphs not xenomorphs
>>214202944did david time travel to the planet in Alien to deposit the ancient space jockey ship? you fucking retard
>>214202958why were the engineers so lazy that they didn't invent better goo in 15,000 years?
>>214207231It will always be good, deal with it, you stupid contrarianAnd the series stopped after it.
>>214202261why does it need to be? if the scientists on a space expedition dont know wtf it means why should anyone? some things are simply mysterious sorry.
>>214207905You are a retard and the Xeno always was like that.Your complaint doesn't exist
>>214209148"muh daughter from a removed scene that contradicts Alien" will never be canon
>>214209367Everyone dislike that retard and his attempts to shit on Alien>more complexlmao, fuck off
>>214209231>nerdsthose aren't nerdthose are the invaders that replaced them and gentrified their space
>>214209669>some things are simply mysterious sorry.tell that to Ridley and his prometheshit
>>214202261Everything after Aliens was a mistake
>>214209423>hew was also talking about the protomorphs not xenomorphsHe clearly wasn't.
>>214202261David traveled back in time and carved it.
>>214210998stfu you little bitch
>>214202819Everything about this is retarded.
>>214203787It's so dumb it even has a dumb non-name.
>>214206732>>214207004And what the fuck is a deacon? Oh it's just pretending to be the precursor to a xenomorph so this can pretend to be a prequel to Alien rather than the reboot we know it is. They tossed the silly idea of deacon as soon as they tossed the pretense this was a prequel. So stop acting like it's important in some way.
Its a matter of years untill they gonna release a movie about the EngineersHollywood is sitting on hundreds of million dollars and they know itRidley Scott is too damn old to produce anything good so they gonna bait us with his sonThe movie banner will read something stupid as:>"From the Director Luke Scott the son of Ridley Scott who directend and produced Alien"
>>214212001>worked on CovenantCovenant was so fucking weird, I'm not sure I even want a 3rd prequel movie at this point.
>>214203627The aliens commissioned it on fiver.
>>214202261Confirmed to be the Deacon in the concept artbook
>>214203051>>214209423>>214210998he EXPLICITLY said that the original idea of the story was for David to re-discover the Xeno, but he changed it during production because he believed the alternative to be, and I'm quoting him EXACTLY>far more interesting
>>214204428>It's really goodit really isn'tIt still has the retarded "Space jockeys are just ancient humans who created life on Earth" bullshitAnd it also shows that the derelict has been on LV426 for a few decades at most
>>214202261bagina :DDDD
>>214209710It's the only thing made in the Alien universe that captures the feeling of claustrophobic horror of the OG film. That alone makes it more worthy of being canon than any sequel or prequel.
>>214213298He was right, it is far more interesting this way.
Just because David created Xenomorph doesnt mean he was the first to create Xenomorph. Not sure why that is so hard to understand for the smooth brains. The Xenomorph is as old as the universe itself. Many different cultures have stories of the xenomorph. The movie is just HUMANS story of the xenomorph. Get it????? Not hard at all to understand.
>>214213298Anything that is not explicitly in the film is non cannon. I dont give a fuck what Ridley said 6 months after the fact after he saw audience reactions.
>>214203897>future space tigers are a bioweaponIt would be easier to use the technological advances capable of creating xenomorphs to just build bombs if you wanted to wipe out a species. What fucking retarded writing.
>>214214061So David didn't create it, he rediscovered something that was already there, I agree.
>>214214139To be fair the movies never said why they want the aliens. Shit writing is what you can expect from a tie-in third rate cashgrab novelization.
>>214208722That was in the newer Alien where they were on the satellite, the implication that Weyland Yutani was studying it because it's biotechnology from an advanced race and thus a goldmine of technological innovation. It's the only thing that makes sense, it's clearly a world where random boring alien life is occasionally discovered so xeno goo science is a treasure. I'm sure that if the idea was fleshed out they'd ruin it by making Jurrasic World Xeno Freak On A Leash War Machines for another cartoonish 'omg military industrial bad' bat to the face metaphor.
>>214214061People are too stupid to understand things like this, it is what it is.
>>214207004I can't even remember which of the numerous bullshit later movies this thing is from or why it exists. Every bit of Alien and Aliens is extremely memorable.
>>214209370The perfect organism...
>>214214457That's from Prometheus, it's the nigga that pops out of the Engineer after whatever the fuck popped out of Shaw rapes it.I also don't remember why it looks like that or what its purpose is, I think it's supposed to like that because it was birthed from an engineer instead of a human?
>>214214457Yeah, after 30 years everybody remember Vasquez and Drake banter or Apone's talking about the corps while the rest wake up.Meanwhile the prequels are a mix of no-names being incompetent and retarded.
on earth, white goo makes lifein space, black goo makes lifepretty simple
>>214214061He was the first to make the Xenomorph we know from the movies 1-4 but a lot of its features come from the black goo, he just combined them all into one biomechanical organism. Facehuggers, elongated heads, inner mouths, acid blood, all that stuff comes from the black goo.
>>214203093Are you the same retard who posted 80 times in that Nightmare on Elmstreet thread about how the movie is a gay apology because one of the screenwriters said so 30 years ago? Nigga let me be the 42nd anon to tell you this, but what the people working on the movies say is worthless compared to what the movie actually says.So, yes, the retarded nobody anons like me are right when we say Ridley Scott's word worth squat in that matter.
>>214214061>blah blah headcanon blah
>>214214237Alien said they wanted it because they had literally never found alien life anywhere so that by itself was extremely interesting and worth risking a ship and crew for. Aliens had a single mid level executive wanting to sneakily get it so he could smuggle it to the bioweapons division, get a promotion, and a big pay day.
>>214202874They're not a weapon, they're a filter or a test for species at a specific point along the evolutionary ladder
>>214209448why would he need to time travel to reach the future?
>>214216855>they had literally never found alien life anywhereNever saw this at all. In aliens they mention bug hunts which probably refers to alien giant bugs.
>>214209261I could never find download for these fan edits, it's over.
>>214216937the ship was millions of years old, retard
Why would it be? It's obviously meaningless bullshit for the trailer. Why would anyone make a mural for a thoughtless killing machine?
>>214216855>they had literally never found alien life anywhereBullshit, nobody makes a big deal of finding the derelict ship, they're more curious than surprised.
>>214203051I don't know how you can trust Ridley Scott seeing what he's done with his franchises. Such simple concepts made so needlessly complicated and illogical.
>>214217118What was there to explore? You figure out everything in Alien. There's a crashed ship, a dead alien, an egg, same thing happens to the crew. The eggs were obviously a weapon of some kind, they were the same alien piloting the ship, it's not really even a mystery.
>>214209448That's what's so especially retarded about Prometheus. It's entirely based around the Space Jockey but completely ignores the actual details surrounding it.>David developed the xeno eggs and facehuggers as his own separate project that was different from whatever the engineers were doing>on a planet where he had eradicated all the engineers>last we saw of him he was on a ship full of humans on his way to a planet with no engineers>yet somehow the engineers acquired a ship full of those same eggs, which never existed on any of their worldsI guess there are ways to connect the dots retroactively like the engineers going back to David's world and finding the eggs or something, but there's really just no reason for the narratives to be so blatantly inconsistent to begin with. Ridely just wanted to go off on an android tangent without being tied down by established lore and Lindelof is a fucking hack who only gets work because he's a member of the tribe. The Alien prequels were extremely well made wastes of time.
stay in your fucking containment thread you spamming pieces of shit>t. rest of the board >>214216956>>214216956>>214216956
>>214202874Xenomorphs are (maybe) created by David to specifically torture humans, as a form of revengeGoo's origin is unknown but it is used by Engineers to raze worlds with that they deem a failure of their own creation. The result is what's seen in Covenant
>>214217154Weren't the same*
>>214217165>David developed the xeno eggs and facehuggers as his own separate project that was different from whatever the engineers were doingthat's all in the goo, he didn't have to develop anything
>>214217166>you can only discuss the Alien movies in the threads about the tv seriesSince when
Alex Lawther is relentlessly handsome.
>>214217184It's made very clear in Covenannt that the eggs are a unique product of his experiments with the goo and Shaw's corpse. There is no indication whatsoever that the engineers ever produced anything like that, presumably because they didn't have a female human corpse to tinker with and also because it's an unnecessary intermediate stage in the alien life cycle and it really doesn't make any sense to develop it since the goo could just directly infect hosts as it was. It's just a product of David's fetishism of Shaw. He made "babies" with her in his own twisted way. But there's no reason the engineers would want to do that, nor any indication that they ever did. Even the deacon they accidentally produce in Prometheus came from direct goo transmission.Going from goop to xenos honestly never made any sense and was just Ridley and Lindelof opening a pandora's box of inexplicable plot points just because they wanted to do certain things, consistency be damned.
>>214209261Let me, he stuffs the TED talk in at the beginning of the movie and tons of unfinished DVD extras with no mastering to match with the rest of the film.
>>214207448>Watched tenet>calls other people idiots
>>214217366>unironically defending CovenantWhat the fuck is wrong with you "people" and your objectively shit taste in movies?
>>214216963Bug hunts mean a waste of time. They say it while rolling their eyes and scoffing. They don't believe a thing Ripley says and mock her. Because aliens aren't real and the idea is ridiculous. She's obviously an insane person making up shit. Only idiot autists like you think it means literal alien bugs. You can't understand people's sarcasm and expressions.
>>214218002when you have to invent entirely knew meanings for words to justify your mental illness fueled theory it might mean you were wrong at the start
>>214217070The fuck are you talking about? They're awe struck the whole time. They're completely dumbfounded to find it. TAsh is amazed to find an alien spider and can't stop studying it and talking it up. He's not like "this is so cool, better than the 500 other aliens species we've found." No, he's intensely eager to study the first alien life ever found. Muther's orders are to investigate a strange signal and bring back any extraterrestrial life found even if crew needs to die. If alien life were common place, they'd send specialized teams and not waste a ship. You people are such idiots needing simple movies explained to you.
>>214217118>needlessly complicated and illogicalOnly to the uninitiated.
>>214217507Who's defending covenant? The other anon sais the xeno eggs were a natural product of the goo and I pointed out that what we see and are told in Covenant doesn't support that. I'm not praising the film, just making an objective statement about its plot points
>>214217366>It's just a product of David's fetishism of Shaw. He made "babies" with her in his own twisted way.This anon gets it, that's why the xenomorph's head is shaped like a penis, why it kills by penetrating with its phallic inner mouth, why the facehugger's underside looks like a vagina. David tried to rape Daniels in Covenant but he had nothing to rape her with, he's smooth down there like a Ken doll. The xenomorph is a product of his incel rage.
>>214217420>Yes trueI have the 9th circle release it's perfect in HD and 53min extra runtime in total>The 9th circle release is a improved version of the Chaos release by the same guy and the 9th circle version is the last release te guy madeBut I preffer to watch movies with English subtitles but none were ever made nor releasedSome people said on forums that they are working on constructing subtitles but they never released anyThe 9th circle release is the most complete version there is. That's the ultimate version of the movieAs I am still looking for english subtitles I have not watched it yet but the quality is amazing both sound and picture are perfect above expectations
