They finally made a good episode
>>
>>214259140
can they make a good poster though
>>
>>214259140
Doubt
>>
>>214259140
I liked the last two episodes, i even like the new alien types.. but one issue i have is that they made the alien way to humanoid it just doesnt work for me the alien was always more animal like and scary in the og trilogy.
>>
>>214259229
David redesigned it to be more human like and biomechanical.
>>
>>214259318
okay? i dont care what the lore reason or real life reason is why they made it that way, it just doesnt work for me unironically the new alien types (and the asshole cavalie) are saving the show for me (also the director also has no clue how to make something scary /how to make a show/movie scary and dont get me started on the stupid music choices inserting boomer rock) while the og alien drags it down... which is weird.
>>
>>214259399
The showrunner is artsy fartsy man that did Legion.
Legion went out of its way to be weird and trippy.
This will do the same.

They did? Are they ever going to release it?
>>
>>214259489
I thought the last episode #5 was bretty gud and I hated the rest of the show overall
>>
>>214259140
ep 5 wasby far the worst so far

Episode 1 was bad but nowhere as bad as 5
>>
>>214259465
yes and it was a museum masterpiece for doing it so well

Alien: Earth on the otherhand...started off poorly, but was getting better with Ep 3 and 4, but this latest episode was just straight-to-video trash

The writing was inappropriate
The characters behavior was just bizarre and unprofessional
The plot was a poor parody of the original film
But the suspension of disbelief required for this episode was so astronomically high that no other piece of media in the history of time has reached it. There were so many moments that made absolutely no sense, and could never be explained
>>
When do the Predators shows up?
>>
>>214259516
>ep 5 wasby far the worst so far
wut? how? its the best and felt the most like actual alien
>>
>>214259140
Have they had any of the secondary cast from the franchise to show up yet?
>>
It was whatever. I've seen sois make excuses for the characters being dumb and that's one thing and sort of based the female character and black science lady were fuck ups (the apprentice that didn't know what an apprentice was so dumb it stained credulity) but the containment glass shattering like a wine bottle when it hit the floor was laughably bad
>>
everyone on this show is either a robot, a child, or a complete retard but i like the last 3 episodes
>>
why did they send ~12 civilians and less than a handful of security officers to collect at least 5 different aggressive, parasitic alien lifeforms that are all extremely dangerous to humans? half the ship's crew should have been private military personnel armed to the teeth both to deal with corporate espionage, keep the civvies in check and protect/contain/kill the aliens if necessary
motherfucking WY somehow manages to muster entire armies in the AVP games just because of the xenomorphs, why are they this retarded in this show?
>>
>>214259140
>>214259153
>>214259167
That tall scrawny dude that plays all sorts of monsters and aliens got dressed up as a xenomorph in this one.. didn't he?
>>
So just recycle the first movie and the fans will eat it up
>>
>>214259998
Nah its some short dude actually and you can tell his head is in the neck of the suit.
>>
>>214259987
because it's the post-postmodernism and it's stuck recycling the same motifs in exactly the same ways with minor variations (but in increasingly ironic ways) so the audience can feel like they're in the know and participating in the experience.
They also peppered it with z-grade alien designs such as "eyeball with tentacles, "large tick" and "large spooky plant" that are blow what even an AI would shit out.

That Yutani scene also looked almost like a parody. Like an SNL skit of what a Yutani HQ scene would look like. It's just empty calories to tide people over until the next episode, the next show, the next slop.
>>
>>214260070
i dont mind recycling if the end product is on par or even better than whats being reused, but this show is idiotic
i dont even get why people praise it when what i described in >>214259987 isnt a tiny nitpick, its the foundation of the premise
"everyone's retarded so the plot can happen" should not be acceptable but half the internet's lapping this series up like it wasnt garbage
>>
>>214259516
good morning saar
>>
>>214260070
they fucked up the yutani scene, couldve been so much more
>>
i wanna fuck the main bitch and the redhead
>>
>>214259140
I like this dumb show but man the Alien suit looks really cheap. The way he moves is super goofy.

They said they had lost a ton of people getting the aliens in the first episode.
Anyone actually competent or capable probably wouldn't be desperate enough to give up 65 years of their life.
>>
>>214260344
wheres the ton of people, they have 12 cryopods on the ship
>>

Some of them are all three.

>the stupid music choices inserting boomer rock
this has struck me every ep as a sloppy way to try to bring in zoomers. lot of manufactured hype that they somehow have an obsession with 90s sensibility/culture. I remember it started around 2018 and has hung on. Doesn’t help that there’s a bunch of zoomer slop shows (and movies) randomly set in the 90s for no real reason.

>>
>>214260407
It's a Hawley thing. His choices for the Legion soundtrack were excellent but in that show it was mostly covers of well known songs.
This sucks since he's using a similar approach but it's not covers so it just comes off tonally wrong.
>>
>>214260381
when is a racist not a racist *sweats profusely*
>>
>>214259556
it was like final destination tier corny, as if they would really be that cavalier in the lab with those life forms.
and what was even the point? No one was sitting there going, “oh god I wish I knew in excruciating detail what all went down on the ship before it crashed!”
the beginning scene with the black guy essentially answered it, there was no more mystery.
it’s not like there was built up mystery, you didn’t know or care about any of the characters, and the reveal about the ceo twink planning the crash could have been done in a throwaway line.
would have been way more interesting to see how the life forms were procured.
But even that isn’t super relevant, what’s even happening with the storyline on earth? How’s it being advanced? It’s going nowhere.

I couldn't see because I was too busy facepalming and sigh'ing over how obviously costume-coded it all was. Turned the whole episode into picrel for me.
>>

It's still not credited but it's him singing the opening title song. I hope one day this becomes common knowledge and I get to see people's educated opinions.

Im not anti an athletics by any means but this show coasts purely on visuals.
the worst part is if it was fully ai slop, instead of just ai written slop, it might actually try something interesting or different.

only the pilot was KINO

Alien: Earth is reported to be one of the most expensive television series ever produced. The show's total production cost exceeded $250 million, with some sources indicating it is even larger than FX’s previous epic, Shōgun, which itself cost $250 million. This means a per-episode average likely exceeds $30 million, since the first season consists of 8 episodes.

Production Time per Episode
While no official sources provide an exact episode-by-episode production timeline, industry insiders estimate that each episode of this scale can take several months to produce. Large-scale VFX, extensive location shoots (notably the twelve+ studios and outdoor settings used in Thailand), and lengthy post-production mean that 4–6 months per episode is a reasonable estimate for comparable series with similar budgets. The total time from pre-production to post-production for the season spanned two years, with overlapping work on multiple episodes.

AI will fix this

Can someone explain to me why Prodigy Corporation needs aliens when they can create superhuman soldiers at will?
>>
>>214260604
this isn't surprising but at least it looks like they spent most of the money wisely. sets, costumes and most of the CGI is good.
>>
>>214260604
>The show's total production cost exceeded $250 million
What the fuck are the spending the money on? the xeno looks like shit and the aliens barely have any screentime
>>
>>214261619
>why do they need guns when they have arrows
>>
Alien resurrection had the best xeno design
>>
>>214259140
it was like a 1 hour alien mini-movie, the eye-bug alien was kino and they killed off all of the ugly annoying humans.

That's why it's bad and you're retarded
Alien was about space truckers, why are the crew of WY's super secret deep space alien hunting mission with Yutani's personal attack dog retard space truckers? Oh, because the episode wanted the aesthetic of alien to dupe morons.
>the xenomorph that we know is a xenomorph, call a xenmorph, is loose, should we look for it? nah g lemme just smoke while the asian does sex crimes
Why did the sabatour 1. release fucking xenomorphs (which we know they knew about) and start sichtzo posting about monsters when he died? He wasn't a cultist or crazy, he was motivated by greed.
>Secret alien collection mission, zero biological controls, even when they 'sealed the lab' mr cycborg just opened it

The list goes on, nothing makes sense, the show is written for the second monitor tik tok generation wearing the skin of alien to make millennial redditiors clap when they make a reference.

Episode 5 had no redeeming factors

I dont believe people in good faith liked it and you two clowns are just baiting
>>
>>214260408
kek
>>
>>214259140
I liked the episode, 2bh I wanted the whole tv series was like that building up the new aliens monsters while you see the crew being fucked
>>
>>214263184
The crew get notified that their captain (and others are dead in a really grotesque wau), that there is a saboteur successfully destroying the ship they live in, and that the deadly specimens they sacrificed 65 years for are now loose

Their reaction: joking, and wise cracks. They didnt give a fuck at all

How in the world did anybody write this. It doesnt make sense
>>
The xenomorph looks like a dude in a trashbag
>>
>>214264260
i've had such a good time making fun of the crew on /tv/ that i can't remember my initial reaction to the episode
>>
>>214262942
yes, it was like a one hour alien movie

It was a really shitty attempt at it. I am convinced it was written by AI, as the characters did not like any human that has ever existed
>>
this episode had too many black and brown people in it, I don't mind the aliens but too many black and brown people ruined it for me

Tell that to the incompetent white male writers

>>214264336
oh please, go to any office, worksite, or schoolroom in the world and you'll find a chain smoking drunken doctor, a shrugged off public masturbator, a man so dumb that he can't tie his shoes, a paramilitary administrator who can't control a lunchroom, and a bumbling scientist
they're practically yungian archetypes

Probably to keep costs down that way CEOs have more money to buy expensive luxury yachts.

Thanks Noah. always good to have you drop by

We saw Wendy decapitate a Xenomorph in 1 on 1
So it's more like why do they need arrows when they have guns

Who is the fucking retard writing this shit?
