I know they do the "old, rundown tech" aesthetic but the idea that theyd send such a shitheap of a ship on such a crucial and lucrative mission is retarded

You want simple things on a long journey with no repair facilities around. High tech makes things easier but it can be high maintenance. Even today farmers prefer trucks that don't have power windows because a manually operated window is easier to fix if you're out in the middle of nowhere.

This show makes me want a series where Xenos etc have taken over like 25%+ of the earth and humans are trying to fight back

I also want to see more about the relationships between the big 5 corporations and how they interact with eachother and split the world

>>214306537
It either eats - organic and inorganic material (uses acid to dissolve it and then builds its armor out of it) through the mouth and nutrients through the vents on its back that function like filters OR builds a cocoon like the one in Romulus (the wall pussy) that attaches to the power grid of the ship/station and uses that energy to grow it. How it chooses which route to go we don't know. Maybe it can do both one after the other as well, depending on resources.

Alien Earth xenomorphs will not use the cocoon cuz Hawley doesn't consider Rpmulus canon. To me that was the best addition to the lore Romulus made, that cocoon was a cool concept.

see? all i said was do something different and the immediate assumption is that it is bad. also resurrection was already very capeshit-like.
there are like 10 movies now involving the xenomorphs that involve the exact same copypasted plotline of diverse "everyday class people" discovering the xenomorph, then one gets facehugged and they freak out, and then they all die while one strong woman survives. you hate it every single time but you also refuse to move on from it because muh canon muh lore muh this, you are gay.

And with what authority does he have to claim that about this franchise?
Typically movies always are the top tier of the canon and shows are lesser.

that's not bad, I am ok with it. plenty of movies and shows are in several timelines. Star Trek has several already, it's fine.

Isolation still the best Alien media ever made, even better than all the movies and also this series.
it's the only media which had portrayed the xeno's terrifying and menacing build right.

>>214307192
The first film is the same, no? They heavily took from the 1st design

>>214307138
Because it's already too different. No black goo, tadpole huggers, no engineers, no David, etc. No wall cocoon intermediate cycle to explain fast growth from Romulus. The bullshit about corporations actually owning the planet while in all the books it's countries. The difference is already vast.

Indeed. This will turn out to be an own goal for Hawley. The canon coin has tow sides and if he ignores canon, canon will ignore him. Ridley and Fede will keep creating in the original universe while Alien Erf will be left as its own thing.

I don't care about canon i just like the show. Plus anyone who knows about Ridley Scott knows he doesn't know shit about fuck and can't leave well enough alone.

>>214306358
>What's her next move?

>>214308081
With all the budget they have, why did they make it look like a man in a suit? If the 70s movie had today's resources they definitely wouldn't have used a guy in a suit. What are they thinking? The inconsistent retro-future technology is bad enough. It was like that in the 70s one because they were using crts at the time and that's what they envisioned. The incompetence is really mind boggling. I hope this gets cancelled after 1 season. But sometimes I think Disney is intentionally destroying old IPs and they know what they are doing. They purposefully hire incompetent people.

>>214307117
Glad to see /tv/ represented in the show!

>>214307225
The corp writing bothers me so much. It’s clear the writers are economically illiterate. My headcanon is just that everyone on the Maginot was so retarded that they just got everything wrong.

>>214308641
It's so dumb and it's sad that it has to be explained to people *why* it's dumb. That's how bad things are and how low standards are now, how desperate people are to pretend to like anything new. Why is it not apparent to everyone how dumb the writing on this show is?

>>214308979
It's a combination of a nice aesthetic, well made background and props, a couple fantastic actors, ocellus being awesome and just people loving the Alien universe

The Ice Age thing bothers me so much because it’s just obviously wrong. The shitty video game in Romulus is at least plausible; it looks like the kind of wireframe graphics thing that could be in a premium entertainment product made from spare visualizers or something.

People circlejerk "morally grey" these days I know but I'm used to Alien installments having Good Guys (Ripley, Bishop, Hicks, Dallas) and Bad Guys (Burke, Ash, Brad Dourif)

So it catches me off guard a bit that this guy is such a sinister, treacherous motherfucker and then the big flashback episode totally exonerates him. He had less than zero role in the outbreak, he tried to the best of his ability to contain the outbreak (and nearly succeeded) and the meanest thing he does is the first thing we see him do onscreen; leave the pajeet girl to die. And even then we're shown that his callousness at this point was RIGHT, he himself survives by a margin of a single second, saving her would have been absolutely impossible

Take Morrow for example. He risked it because he's from a poor background and he was promised that WY would pay for his daughter's full ride through university.

The whole 65 year thing was absurd. It was an Existential Suicide mission even if they happened to pull it off and didn't get facefucked to death by giant bugs. Every person on that crew was knowingly signing up to end their own life (except maybe for >>214309500 who plausibly doesn't know what "65 years" are)

The show glosses over the time shit so haphazardly, like the one jackass joking that his wife will be 90. Meanwhile every previous installment took place in much shorter spans - the Prometheus was supposed to be gone for four years, the Nostromo for two. And Ripley being stranded for 57 years was treated as an unprecedented tragedy, not something wagies regularly engage in.

It was dangerous fetch mission. They mentioned in a previous episode how they had lost so many people already so that tells us that ship was stacked with expendables, on a chance that at least some would survive to pilot the ship home.

It's really not that crazy. If you send enough people you increase the odds of successfully getting the samples. The ONLY problem with their plan was sending a married couple. The bugs got to Petrovich's wife because and no one could predict that he'd seppuku the mission in his grief.

The Nostromo crew is pissed about the ten month detour to LV-426 even before they realize they're about to get ayyed to death

>>214309901
The problem is that staffing a mission isn’t just a matter of raw manpower. Would you rather go to mars with 500 Indians or 50 Swedes?

You're overhyping the importance of the mission specifics - it's just collecting samples. The work derived from them is important but that doesn't mean that you send your best scientists to collect them. Anyone can put a bug into a jar

These aren’t ordinary bugs; these are dangerous bioweapons at least two of which are highly intelligent.

I'm not the one defending alien earth. The show scripts says "there's 4 companies they govern the entire globe. Don't forget the new one Prodigy." The 5 have the entire territpory of the earth split between them, that makes them defacto governments. It's not a market economy at that point. What you are doing is trying to make it less dumb than the writers made it in the actual script. You must be reading the wiki.

>>214310042
Even more reason not to risk your best brains in that environment. Send a goomba and 2 guards to watch his back

>>214308844
Humans are innately disgusted by parasites. It’s not a coincidence we stopped being disgusted by the eyeball brain parasite and suddenly started supporting Ocellus when she took initiative, fought for her own survival, and didn’t simply live on the effort of others.

>>214309901

Which is weird as just earlier Morrow said romantic relationships among crew members was forbidden according to company policy.

>>214310089
she's not gonna fuck you bro

>>214310180
new relations after the ship departs not existing ones, OBVIOUSLY

>>214310169
Except the writers are that dumb. How is anything else in the show intelligent?
"lithium ion battery that could power a small city"
paper cutter
Ice Age
leader of Weyland Yutani is a woman named Yutani
Boy Genius leader of Prodigy named Boy Kavalier

I was just wondering how come they never attempted cryostasis for the things they caught? Xeno eggs I can understand, since they already knew what were more or less. But how would they know the other creatures could survive a multi-decade mission?

>>214310271
thew creatures were in stasis when the crew was

>>214310258
>a guy named henry ford just happens to work for a company called ford? who writes this shit?

I for one am happy this show is not canon and is its own thing, no more fucking up the timeline

>>214310271
Yeah it was kind of weird how they had those creatures just sitting in normal glass cages in the lab.

>>214310295
They mentioned in the most recent episode about trying to put the facehuggers into stasis in order to get them off the captain and the crew member. Tthe way the conversation went it made it sound like they never were in cryostasis at any point. It only occurred to them right then that it might not work.

>>214310169
What you and the wiki people are doing is carrying water and covering up for the terrible writing and incompetence and of course doing it for free. Disney Alien is not Alien.

The same thing happened with Star Trek and a lot of happened via the wiki. There was a separation of Abrams and Nu Trek from the original star trek but then New Trek became "canon" via the wiki and they helped carry water for it by trying to integrate it with the existing lore.

ayyyyyylmao!

>>214310296
The megacorps of Alien are not sole proprietorships. Even IF “Yutani” was a family name and not the original “Toyota” style name that it was conceived as, a Yutani would be high up in the company but she wouldn’t be the sole executive the way the terrible dialogue is implying.

The battery thing is bizarre to me because nuclear batteries literally exist in the alien universe. Just say that and now it’s plausible AND fits the setting better.

Ok are there any Ford family members running Ford now? Also did Henry Ford go by "Ford" liek hi "Ford" not Mr Ford, not Henry? Another Disney water carrier desperate to excuse slop. They call her "Yutani" in the show. They don't even give her a first name.

>>214310491
I expect everything to be garbage nowadays but I'm enjoying it for what it is.

>>214310447
When did they imply that?

>>214310474
Of course, or make up something "susion battery", but the writers don't know that. That's what was so glaring about it. It just was a give away that they were technologically/scientifically illiterate. Why say lithium ion at all just say battery and leave it to the imagination of the audience? They can't even do that. It's a stage beyond just ignorance, it's where they are ignorant and don't even know they are ignorant.

>>214308390
I fucking love redheads
She may have some royal blood albeit a bit habsburgian I still would though

>>214310534
Everyone talks about “Yutani” like she’s the fucking school principal or something. Sure, you can headcanon it as being because she’s the head of this particular project, but we all know it’s really because the writers are economic illiterates who don’t know how companies work. (Or would work in this timeline.)

>muh lithium ion battery
There are different types of batteries in the franchise.
Prometheus:
>Power for the android is supplied by a 25 kW hydrogen fuel cell with a life of approximately 400 days between refuelling
The existence of one of those things does not negate the existence of the other.

>>214310588
This seems like baseless crying. The show is about synths fighting aliens, not company hierarchies. Go read an HR manually if you're hard up for that stuff

>prequel episode
>not showing how they got the creatures

also he's not an android - he's a cyborg so he's human with some robot parts like the arm and his implants that let him sync with the ship - he bleeds red and not white unless i'm missing something
>>214306537
in the colonial marine tech manual there's a weyland company report on the xeno life cycle and it suspects the aliens and their blood are like pre-charged batteries so they have all the energy they need from birth from their host to grow to full size - there's been other theories and romulus had the egg sack thing but i don't think anything will ever be confirmed - the novel for alien 1 had it eating some of the ship's stores but again that wasn't in the movie either

>>214310711

>>214309358
somebody mentioned they had traces of gamma radiation, and also that (whatever stage, facehuggers or fully grown xenos) could survive in the vacuum of space, so probably stuck to an asteroid or something

>>214310694
Hydrogen fuel cell is not a lithium ion battery. Who said it negates the existence of the other? The point is the idiot writers can't think of any other battery. Another one desperate to excuse slop and terrible writing.

>>214310839
>The show is about synths fighting aliens

>>There are different types of batteries in the franchise.
I'm not talking about the "franchise" (Disney Alien is not part of it anyway). I'm talking about this idiotic show that has 5 episodes, and in particular one episode. Then why choose Lithium Ion for a battery to "power a small city"?

>Xeno goes apeshit when he can't get Morrow on the ship
>ignores him after massacring 4 soldiers in 3 seconds
Why

>>214310955
>Then why choose Lithium Ion for a battery to "power a small city"?
The battery is powering a synth you knuckle-dragger. He was speaking about its power metaphorically.
>Why
Because that's the type of shit Boy does. You're one of those people who mistake character motivations for pure logic within the worldbuilding and that's not how storytelling works. the other 4 companies might think he's a retard if they heard that line for all we know.

>>214311009

>>214311009
xenos aren't known for revenge or delayed gratification

>>214311072
You should look up the energy density of lithium ion. It's not capable of doing that in such sizes.

>>214311181
You should look up alien life. Cause we don't have that shit around here either.

>>214311009
This Xenomorph is a little special.

Like why did it take him alive to use as bait?

>>214311072
>The battery is powering a synth you knuckle-dragger
I know that, but the point is the writers are tech illiterate and it's the only battery they know of. They are not even at the level of 1950s scifi where they would have had the wherewithal to at least omit what battery type it was or call it a nuclear battery or something.

>>214311200

That's Disney Alien. They had the sense to not do that in Prometheus or Covenant and even in Resurrection.

>>214311437
>Disney Alien is not Alien. What franchise?
You can't have it both ways. First you're whinging it's not keeping up with the canon and now you're whinging that it doesn't need to because it's outside of that canon. Since it's not a problem I guess we're done arguing.

I have to say, out of all the characters on the show so far, I like this little guy the best. I also expect big things from him in the future.

lady eating a fucking sandwich while handling aliens .. xeno was laughably bad whoever was acting as xeno was a retard. not scary and the chase scene was on par with star wars series leiea chase scene . there's something like the idea of xeno is more compelling than their actual portrayal of them . its just bad

>>214312421
everyone just seemed unprofessional as shit. the food around their work stations, even a surgury table, and the constant smoking. old engineer guy was even chewing tobacco. it's like they only sent two competant people, the security guy and the guy with a huge axe to grind

>>214312967
It looks so terrible. Like a music video.

After the first episode I'm unsure what the point of the hybrid children being sent into an activate disaster zone is. They're pointedly immature still and all the adults decide this is the thing to do? Not a single one of the children has an hour of any training regardless to explain it away.

>>214306537
In the original Alien movie production, there was an early idea for the xeno to raid food cabinets. It wasn't put into the film though because it took away from the mystery and made it seem like a silly pest animal. I can understand that it would've ruined the shock of the reveal if we were shown the thing munching on cereal as it grows to full size.
>>214310776
>in the colonial marine tech manual
Well, that's one source and it's cool that they try to invent ways for the xeno's biology to make sense, but these comic book, video game and novel sources always seem to go with the most boring options. If I had a say in it, I'd show the xenomorph eating a lot of scavenged processed food and human corpses the next time there's one growing from chestburster to full size. There's the whole theme of us and the xenos being a part of the food chain, with the xeno being on top, yet supposedly the xeno does not eat? Even Kirsh talks about how humans are food, which clearly foreshadows the xenomorph.

i actually don't mind the costume or the acting here that much, but if they wanted it to look scary they should've hidden it way more and used a 3D rendered version of it for the full body silhouette shots where you can really see its size. the stubby arms are really the thing that breaks the illusion.

Ridley is executive producer of alien earth. There's an argument to be made Disney wouldn't want him making a film that confuses things now, if earth is going a different way to Ridley's prequels idea. They also made romulus which was a straightforward sequel which may show their film intentions. That said, Ridley still has some ties and his name carries star power which would put seats in the cinema. I wouldn't expect anything for a long while but he famously hasn't been able to put Alien down
