Alien 2: On Earth edition prev >>214316555
So which movies are "canon" to this show? At least Alien right? What about the the other in that series and the prequel?
>>214331179hawley said Alien snd Aliens
>>214331179the showrunner considers Alien and Aliens to be canon, and this a prequel so its ignoring the Ridley Scott prequels. So really nothing else matters to this show, its like a one-off comic
I'm thirsty for content, how are the Predator films since 2010?
>eternal thread>it's the same questions, answers and comments each time
>>214331157cool never seen this set photo before
>>214331272The Predator was pretty bad, I thought Prey was okay. didn't really care for the cartoon but its okay as a dumb watch
>>214331254>>214331256why not alien 3? since it directly followed the events of aliens?
>>214331357is all canon in way or another. no need to think of movie franchises like some religious texts
>>214331254>>214331256Based, newt lives.
>>214331346The kino second story about a ninja and samurai going against the predator is the thing of most worth about killer of killers
>>214331357Alien 3 doesn't really change anything, but it sucks.
>>214331357Terrible story, just like resurrection
>>214331272The Predator is the worst movie in the franchise. Prey was basic but entertaining. The animated anthology was also fine
>>214331295dance off bro you and me!
>>214331179>>214331254>>214331254>>214331256I've noticed a recurring pattern of millennial and younger writers in general either avoiding or looking down on incorporating conspiracies into TV and movie plotsIt really lowers the stakes when there's no deception going on
>>214332200prey is dogshit even worse than romulus
>>214331007So why was Maginot's mission 65 years? LV426 is less than a year of space travel from Earth. And even if the other planets were way farther it shouldn't have taken that long. Did the writers just take the time period that Ripley was drifting in space in her escape pod and assume that was a typical travel time?
>>214331357It's not a crowd pleaser and everyone thinks it will be retconned some day.
>>214332448They really want W-Y to be some infallible good guy corporation, huh
>>214332356Guess they visited a crapton on planets. It would be dumb if they find all these weird aliens on the same place.
>>214331357all sequels and only sequels are canon
>>214332356it's a year flying a military ship 120 years later
>>214332579Alien is like 2 years after AE.
For me, its Alien of Darkness
Guys, I'm crying right now.Just looking at her picture makes me feel something strange inside. I guess you could call it "love". I'm in love with Wendy. I've lost interest in all girls, besides her.Wendy really is all I think about all day, every day. I really do cry myself to sleep at night thinking about how I'll never be with her. If only she knew I existed in this life, if only she knew my deep profound love for her. I know that will never happen though. That is the thought that makes me so sad when I look at her. I'll never be with her, but I'll continue to love her until the day I die.
>>214331295lol
>>214331254>>214331256Then how do you explain the ICC and USCM in Aliens?At least you can handwave the patches in Alien as collector's items
>>214333416Too bad there's no sequel.
>>214331256Ignoring the prequels isn’t really a problemThey added nothing to the franchise and pretty much just shit on the original anyway Also it’s hilarious that people give Hawley shite for ignoring certain films when Ridley already did that
ep5 was kino
>>214334279It was and this board will have a meltdown when the entire cast of Red Letter Media praises the season.
>>214334330Shoot, I forgot Red Letter Media existedAre they doing reviews of Alien Earth?
>>214331295kek
>>214331295Where would the eye creature put the eye on the ayyo skull?
>>214332658maginot started the journey 65 years before and the under year travel is for sulaco in aliens
>>214332658
>>214331295lol'd
>>214332356they didnt go to 426 retard>>214333935he hasn't thought that deep about it
>>214334736>that alien 3 scenethat's the most well known scene in the reanchise, nothing beats it
>>214333435I love Sydney-chan and hope that the huge success of this show (if ratings are to be believed) leads to her getting big roles and we see more of her. What would you recommend she is cast in?
>>214334639well in the eyesocket beneath the dome, duhif the writer wanted he could sell some bullshit how there's no blood between because that would be sensible but there's also no nerve canal so I dunno how he'd access the brain
>>214333935>five corporations rule the world means there are no other organizations or institutions
>>214334736I just assume with series like this that there are different timelines. Maybe some movies are a part of the same timeline but is every movie suppose to be 1 timeline? what about the AvP movies, where do they fit into the 1 ideal timeline? Even if you wanted 1 all encompassing timeline then you would have the books and the comics to come to terms with, those couldnt all be cannon in the same timeline. between aliens and alien 3 the earth is already overran with aliens (it took 2 years in the book) according to one book series, thats not cannon for the series is it? I dont really care and just enjoy each movie as its own seperate thing and if it intends to be a sequal or prequal to another movie then thats cool too. The fan service type callback stuff to other alien movies in romulus was OK too because the movies are really suppose to be a fun horror type slasher film anyways (just dont do that every movie please)
>>214334706its left a little ambiguous as to how fast they can interstellar travel in the Alien universethey clearly have "FtL" capability but they also need cryosleep. instead of centuries toget to another star its more like years or decades. of course a ship moving at close toor at light speed time runs slower in the ships frame of reference, so more time willpass on Earth, say, than it does on the ship. but they never really lay it all out for sureZeta Reticuli is 39.3 LY from Earth for example
>>214334974It has eye sockets? I always assumed the dome produces some kind of sonar like a dolphin.
Does this show have anything to do with the comic or the ending of resurrection?
>>214335478nah
>>214335297it has a human skull with empty eye sockets beneath the slightly translucent dome in the original movie
>>214335295yea in previous threads anons were posting some lore that they have ships of various capabilityif sulaco needs 10 months to go 39lythat's 300 days, 0.13ly/daybut that's a military class over 120 years after maginot embarkedthere was bound to be huge improvementso maginot likely needed much longer time, to visit who knows how many destinations, and not confirmed if they picked the xeno eggs on acheron but possiblyentirely feasible it needed that time, anons just bitch like faggots
So is the show any good? I'm looking for something new to watch.
For me, it's Shaw
>>214336336She is omega cute in the face, but has a horrible 2/10 body
>>214334736It's still possible to resolve the Prometheus/Covenant and Alien:Earth timeliness. Let's say that the Maginot departs in 2055 on its mission to find alien life forms. In 2104 Wayland corp. receives David's transmission and diverts the Maginot to whatever hell-world David created and the crew collects the samples from there.
>>214336336Let's see her bicep.
>>214336675>2/10 bodyHow ghetto are you? she's a cutie
>>214333962
>>214335534>it has a human skull with empty eye sockets beneath the slightly translucent dome in the original movieWhich was stupidly retconned as soon as the second film...Although 'clear dome' Xenomorphs apparently still pop up here and there for no reason.
>>214335478>or the ending of resurrection?Its set like hundreds of years before Resurrection
>>214333416>>214336857It's incredible how this hentai from the 90's has a better script than Alien Earth
>>214336864It was retconned because Cameron didn't wanted to work with the previous design/suit since it broke down too easily. It still does that's why most alien movies uses the dome but avoid the translucent version.
I cannot believe I am looking forward to the next episode because of Eye-lene
>>214337069The original suit was a complete nightmare due to the body part being super complicated. The Aliens redesign being way simpler to put on.The HEAD was redesigned because with stunts the dome would crack and be a pain in the ass to repair.
>Morrow is modified to be a superhuman cyborg>"Hmmm... yeah let's just leave the moobs"
>>214337079Luv me eye, 'Ate the Xeno, simple as.
>>214336864I think there's no reason there can't be a genetic variation between xenos spawned from the same species
>>214337240Eye agree friend
>>214337133if you milk them they spray napalm
>episode end>Wendy kills /oureye/>eyeguy turns to the camera and winks CAUSE THIS IS MY UNITED STATES OF WHATEVER
>/tv/ is filtered by rubber suitsSad, I thought you guys were smarter than that.
>>214336051if you like all the alien movies you will like this.
>>214337792When they made alien they went out of their way to find a freakishly tall and thin black guy.In this film they shoved a 6'1 linebacker in the alien suit so it looks like he's a manlet who's juicing.
>>21433235665 earth years. There's time dilation. For the crew it's probably less than a year.
>>214334279My ass keeps seeing Mr. Russell from The Gilded Age.
>>214331007The Ocular alien got into his eye :(
>>214336987The writing is fever dream quality. It's still so dumb the hybrids got sent out to a search and rescue. Not a single kid has any training and the adults are fine letting the hybrids jump into a dark, deadly maze under a crumbling tower.If the writers weren't smoking crack cocaine they could've placed the kids in the tower because of a "field trip" or some shit. At least the hybrids would have a natural reason to be anywhere near a smoking ruin of a ship.This nitpick is making me madder than it should but I'm going to keep watching anyways because at least I can't be let down.
A bit late to the party, but I love the hell out of this show. The goofy jeet and black guy, the qt3.14 synth, and of course Raylan Givens being cool as shit. Morrow has been surprisingly awesome as well. This is easily my favorite show of the year. So much better than whatever I was expecting going in.
>>214336051it has retarded moments, it also has kino moments just turn your brain off a little and its been pretty fun so far
>>214339666Modsssssssssssssssss the bot is broken again.
>>214339681clicked on the wrong tab and meant to post on /sp/ chill out, faggot.
Will she return for Romulus 2 now that Fede is no longer directing?
>>214336051as far as I'm concerned we are getting a new Alien movie every week here, the quality is good. But yes, it has some goofy moments.
>first xeno is a jobber>second is wendy's pet and we'll see it as an itty baby xeno so he'll feel less threateningWhy does the xeno humiliation never endMeanwhile predators get to continue always being huge threats
>>214340500I mean it was a toddler xeno, and all lifeforms have a mommy complex with the first living being they encounter.
>This braindead slop is what Alien has been dragged down toOf course retards are drooling all over it, you're why we keep getting garbage like this. They should do everyone a favor and just let this franchise die
>IM GONNA GET FREE>IM GONNA GET FREE>IM GONNA GET FREE>RIDE INTO THE SUN
>>214340680>mfw I'm on E4 of this rancid tripeThis is the last nu-Alien media I'm watching. David kissing himself is where the franchise should've ended.
>>214336051It's bad. Should be called Not-Alien: Earth. Because the xeno is barely in it besides the first episode. It's mostly just boring side characters doing boring side character stuff. 90% of the aliens shown on screen are unknown new species of bugs and an eyeball squid. The xenos might as well not even exist.
>>214340783had me until the jeans. xeno would def rock black leather trousers.
>>214340680Alien series has had a few movies or moments where its just meant to be a fun campy movie. This show is honestly at least mid tier in the series considering what else it has.
>>214332313Prey was shit but that girl is cute
I love the feel of this fucking show
I like the corporations fucking with each other aspect, and next week had better not cuck me with too much laboratory shit. also wish W-Y had Wrench & Numbers.
>>214331007Im actually enjoying this show. Ep 5 was the coolest so far. The way the ship was being so casually sabotaged still gets me
>>214335478these comics were so good
>>214331007Should I get the Weyland Corp cap from AvP or just the Classic Weyland-Yutani?
>>214341502The second one because it's not nu-corpo simplified garbage.
>>214341502The second one obviously. If you buy the first just turn in your balls.
>>214341502Neither get this one instead.
>>214331007Alex Lawther is relentlessly handsome.
>>214341502>WY logo is newer than the Weyland logo on the official timeline>clearly has 80s aesthetic while the Weyland logo conforms to 2000s design languageThis is why I fucking hate prequels. What would even be a credible in-universe explanation for this?
Can we say he had good taste in women?
>>214332356Maginot was built fifty years before the Nostromo.Nostromo also got the newest top of the line engines right before it departed.Technology advances.
>>214335976Sulaco was much, much, faster."How long after we are declared overdue can we expect a rescue?""17 days"So a day to get ready, and 15 days of travel, and another day to get from space to the surface.The Maginot is one of the original spacefaring ships. It's quite slow.
If God was real Noah Hawley would have been hit by a bus already. Maybe tomorrow, hopefully.
>>214343659I don't know how he possibly went from writing Fargo to this. Does he just not give a fuck? Is he taking the piss at his audience? Is it because he's friends with one of the Russos? So many questions that'll never be answered.Regardless of the script at least the sets and costumes are all on point.
>>214340335yes, the script is ready and it's about Rain and the negro
>>214331295Comedy gold!
>>214343391so it was 10 months for nostromo?
>>214345499Nostromo was 4 months in each direction I think. The older the ship the slower the FTL abd it also matters if it's an industrial shitheap, a syperyahct or a military vessel. There isn't a singular measuring stick.
>>214343699>Fargo to this?He was always just dependant on the strength of the media he was adapting. Fargo and other Coen movies got him 2 to 3 decent seasons and then just coasts on the fumes. Alien doesn't stretch as well. Episode 5 was a good example. Just re-adapt the first Alien movie and the stupid fans go wild. But outside that he's no better than someone writing Alien vs Predator.
>>214345753so how is gonna do 5 seasons of Erf?
>>214345499Eight months from Neptune to Thedus. Two months at Thedus to load up, then it was supposed to be ten months from Thedus to Neptune to offload the refinery and then to Earth.All I can figure out is that winding up to FTL speeds and slowing down takes a good bit of time for ships of Maginot and Alien era.By the time of the Sulaco, it appears that the speed up and slow down times for FTL have been significantly reduced.The Nostromo getting yanked out of their speed up to FTL for the LV-426 beacon basically made them start over their ten month travel time. That's a large part of the reason I believe that that the speeding up and slowing down from FTL speeds is the most time consuming part of the trips.
>>214340335Without Fede it might just be monsterslop and lose the erotic horror element he's known for. I remember in Evil Dead where the possessed girl said she wanted to suck her brother's cock, and made out with that other girl after cutting her tongue in half. And the turkey baster insemination in Don't Breathe. Fede was perfect for making a rapealien movie in line with Ridley's original movie.
>>214345646Nostromo left in 2120. It had to be back before Mar 2123, according to Ripley saying that she would be back before Amanda's eleventh birthday.Getting yanked out of their speed up to stop at LV-426 ruined their chances of making it back in time as it was June of 2122 when the Nostromo visited LV-426.
>>214345814yeah that sounds about right. speeding up IS a large part of it and very time consuming, I remember reading it.
Wheyland corp building better bodies
i want to lick boy kavalier's feet
>>214345765he'll probably do 2 seasons at most
>all alien lifeform that are shown are parasitesHow do these species even exist, as there seems to be no space sheep or whatever. Even if , for some bizarre reason, all were gathered on a single planet, there has to be other aliens and they decide to just bringt parasites to earth. Thats like landing on earth, catching ticks instead of the animals that could be used as source of materials / meat or function as predators in this ecosystem (like a tiger, if you want something to weaponize).
>>214346243>as there seems to be no space sheep or whateverNot only is there several types of space-sheep, there's entire sapient alien races of literal-femboys.Yes that is canon.
>>214341048she's a pedestrian 5/10
>>214346243They could be parasites capable of going into deep stasis that have already killed everything on the planet and were inert for many years until they were found.
>>214331688Did they nerf the predator too hard? He lost a straight melee 1 vs 2.
>>214340680Alien has been slop since the 2nd film
>>214346243They obviously chose the most advantageous for research. We also don't know if the fly and the ballsack plant are parasites.
>>214331688Any kino in the second story dies the second you realize they use the fucking reverb fart sound effect when the predator dies.
>>214334736I wish we would learn more about how humanity looks in 2381
Alien resurrection happened in 2381? Fuck, all those years and they didn't advance anything in tech? Back in Prometheus, 2100 or something, david and the ship was pretty advanced as fuck. You would think by 2381 the alien and engineer are nothing burger to them.
>>214335295>but they also need cryosleep. instead of centuries toSomebody posted in last thread excerpt from a Alien universe book about how the cryosleep is to prevent neural damage from FTL travel
>>214346423Considering that WY got bought out by fucking wallmart of all things, I think it's all but overtly stated that the universe is a lot shittier than it used to be.
>>214346423>>214346436Could be that humanity had a semi collapse during these years and was rebuilding.IIRC the synths in 2381were far more advanced. The problem is they had alien DNA from facehugger in Alien 3, didn't need Ripley at all.
It's interesting how Weyland-Yutani in Alien (1979) already knew about the xenomorph before they even sent the Nostromo to investigate and pick it up. https://youtu.be/VA8jv1M6Y2g?t=65
>>214346702It's strange that they were after the xenomorph and not the Alien ship.
>>214346702All they knew was there was an alien of some kind, and a beacon.Simple mission, grab alien, bring it back regardless of what it is. Crew expendable.They only figured out what the Xenomorph really was when Ashe got his hands on it.
>>214346746extremely good point
>>214346747Pretty funny how they practically expected the crew to die retrieving it, sending an android and telling him the crew doesn't matter.
>>214346806makes me wonder how they knew there even was a specimen and that it's dangerous
>>214346828Because the beacon had already been translated, it was a warning and probably says something like "OH GOD THE FUCKING BUGS GOT LOOSE AND THEY'RE EATING EVERYONE!"Ripley translates a small fraction of the message quickly and she is concerned about it.
>>214346806>>214346828WY probably knew about the xeno due to the events of Prometheus and Covenant, and now Alien: Earth
>>214334736>A:E being so close and slightly before Alien means we could possibly see a younger JonesyImagine
>>214346849Why would WY know about the xenomorph due to IRL fanfictions?
>>214346892>he doesn't know
>>214346436I know that was put in as a joke, but Walmart is genuinely about the size of Amazon. Plus they work in the same general industry (freight, logistics, R&D, etc) which would make WY an obvious acquisition targe, especially if some big crisis (geopolitics or xenomorphs) threw WY off balance. It would be weird and newsworthy, to be sure, but Walmart buying WY would be on par with Nvidia buying Meta.
>>214346975WY is a terraforming and space freight company.How the fuck is a retail chain outcompeting them?
>>214346296It was fine, a predator lost in a straight melee 1 vs 1 in predators, and unlike the Yakuza man the main characters in that story have been training sword fighting since they were young.
>Prodigy CEO can videocall a specific crew member aboard a competitor ship 65 years away in space from his office
>>214346993Predators isbso fucking underrated
>>214346746it was always weird to me especially in alien 2 where they build a colony next to it
>>214334971A movie where I play as her loving zoomer husband and plap her until she’s pregnant
>>214336336Boring character and bogged.>>214336843lmao looks like a boy
>>214342435duh
>>214347004the crew member videocalled him though
>>214346423Prometheus fucked up by retconning stuff from the first movie, but that’s because Ridley said he didn’t want to consider anything besides the first. Even then he couldn’t get details correct.It’s for the best it flopped and never got the trilogy he wanted.
>>214347004>Prodigy CEO not only contacts a ship before his company was even made, he contacts the ship before his fucking parents were bornUhhh who let that plot hole slide?
>>214347050In Aliens it’s established they didn’t know which of the moons of Calpamos the Nostromo had stopped at due to no life recorder from it. When they found Ripley, they got the news, and that’s what inspired Burke to message the colony to look in a particular area.
>>214346985Walmart is a freight and logistics company that sells direct to consumer. In a world where space travel is a thing, they absolutely have a spacefaring fleet. Maybe they’re literally this timeline’s version of Amazon, too; remember that there was no home computer revolution to spawn big tech and computer-based logistics hardware is so expensive that a startup isn’t exactly gonna be able to compete, so Walmart may have just become an Amazon-like consumer shipping monopoly.
>>214347120Sabotage didn't start happening until less than four months out from Earth.Coincidentally, in the first episode, the same guy making the vid calls and doing the sabotage volunteers to take care of the communications for the ship.You sure you watched the episode?
>>214347004My headcanon is that:>this call (wouldn’t have been a call fuck you retarded writers it would have been an email) takes place when the Maginot is only 17 days/6-light minutes or so away from Earth and they’ve all been unfrozen already>WY knew and wanted it to crash in Boy Retard’s backyard for some reason
When is the human vs alien war.They set up those prodigy soliders for nothing
>>214347217>SAHINDUZGUNyes Saar very good alien sexy times
>>214342435was nice to see that he was just a run of the mill incel instead of the saboteur like you'd expect
Will we see Predators in this too?
>>214347004This annoys me the most. Wasn't the point of Alien to have clunky analog tech? The iPads are really throwing me and make this very Netflix. Why the fuck do zillenials have to do their facetime shit?
>>214347004>Screens years in the future are clunky analogue things>AI is so primitive you have to mash a huge mechanical keyboard to talk to it and it can only come up with small sentences>LOL LETS JUST SEND 1080p VIDEO OVER THE SPACE INTERNET!
>>214347276I for one am happy to see /tv/ represented.
>>214347306>Wasn't the point of Alien to have clunky analog tech? The iPads are really throwing meIt's the new normal since Prometheus
>>214347306>>214347331This bothers me so much because you can SEE the props department trying valiantly to come up with a way touch screens and the Internet and cell phones and iPads could possibly work here and they just can’t overcome the absolute retardation of the writers.
>>214345807I think it would have been way cooler if the alien in that movie raped her and she became super pregnant
>>214345807>I think I know how to make the xenomorph scarier!>Oh how?>What if we make it more human and less scary?>Didn't they do that in Alien 4 and it sucked?>Yeah but this time, BLACK GOO!>HOW COULD WE LOSE!?
>>214347374they should just put the damn flat screen touch screens and shit in, they were in 2001: a space odyssey so who gives a fuck. and prometheus made it clear that they exist. the only reason they had CRT screens in alien was because it was the only way to have working screens on the ship's film set. if they want to, they can give the flat screens some rounded corners and make them clunky as fuck to match the aesthetic.
>>214347374>>214347355Prometheus had crazy tech. I think the issue here just comes to Internet and the fact the ship is so far away it wouldn't be in the same time
>>214347355That’s different. Prometheus, whatever we think of the decision to do so, was 2010’s-punk and this is ‘70s-punk. One is an aesthetic choice and the other is being too retarded to know how technology works.
>>214347412It makes sense to stick with CRT’s if you’re going with “this is an alternate timeline that diverged in the ‘70s”. IG you wanna do Prometheus, go for the 2010’s aesthetic.
>>214347419What wouldn't be?>>214347434Prometheus is literally the iPad-core that the anon mentioned A:E having. It's very retarded.
>>214347537Prometheus is an aesthetic I like less done really well. This show is an aesthetic I prefer done really badly.
>>214347331>Screens years in the future are clunky analogue thingsSeems to be just a Maginot's mother thing, they had wendy watching Ice Age so bare minimum the earth there has graphic technology capabilities similar to when that movie released here.Mechanical keyboards are the best way to command machines and it sending only what's needed to get what's needed I'd call efficient and smart if anything.
>>214347653Are we seriously considering Ice Age being canon in Alien? When chronologically that would mean both Alien and Aliens (The IRL films) are canonical to the Alien series?
>>214347472i could make alien look like a a diverged 1970's alternate without CRTs and people would eat it up. i'd put some old CRT monitors here and there in non-essential uses and use bulky, low-res flat screens everywhere else. i like that alien earth tried to keep the 1970's style, but the pseudo-CRT TV screens with the weird downwards angle look so stupid, i would've just thrown out all that shit.
I find it interesting how the 2010’s aesthetic of Prometheus seemed to connote that humanity was at an earlier stage of space exploration than the ‘70s one of the original movie.The original one was made before the microprocessor revolution, so using the aesthetics of that time connotes a future where man just leapt into space after the moon landing, so a ‘70s aesthetic implies we’ve been in space for much longer.Meanwhile the 2010’s look is filled with shit that requires the microprocessor, making it clear that man did take a detour into inventing computers and is only now just stepping into the stars. So despite looking more advanced, it ironically makes us look way less capable at space stuff.
>>214347617>this iPad-aesthetic that clashes with the Alien aesthetic good>that iPad-aesthetic that clashes with the Alien aesthetic badat least you're honest that your complains aren't
>>214347690???
i want to see the eyeball alien take over the offspring
What's your fav ship or vehicle from the series?
>>214347142ah but nostromo gets dispositions from WY yet ash wouldn't relay the coordinates or specifics oh well
>>214347675Ice Age being canon just means Ice Age is canon to it.Ice Age being shown doesn't necessarily mean every single piece of media prior is now also canon.
>>214347812>Ice Age being shown doesn't necessarily mean every single piece of media prior is now also canon.Yes it sort of does, you can't just make a movie where the simpsons is playing on TV, while insisting 'oh uhm, but yeah back to the future never was made in this universe'
>>214347306yeah the flat screen phone tablet shit was especially stupid considering this is the trillionaire ceo workstation
>>214347797I think it has to do with distances and slow speeds (comparatively) in the original Alien. WY probably were aware of some signal in that area, but a gas giant like Calpamos could have scores of moons. So, and this is just me guessing, Ash was brought in to replace Nostromo's science officer at Thedus at the last second because WY knew the ship's path would bring it within range of Zeta II Reticuli and he could check it out. Why he didn't send a message? Maybe he wasn't ordered not to for security purposes, or maybe he didn't have access to comms until Dallas was taken (and by then he was acting erratically). For all we know, more WY ships might have had synthetics placed on board for other trips in the event of similar signals.
>>214347355prometheus really fucked up the franchise
>>214347675What?
>>214347217I hate this poster so fucking much, it's on the same tier as that fanmade blade runner one
>>214347747Prometheus is by far the comfiest
>>214347967Too sterile and Apple store for me.
>prometheus badnoit was kino and you know ityou're just mad old and bald probably at this point
>>214347747>>214347967for me?the comfiest place is Hadley's Hope.
>>214347917You know it fucked up when the biologist wants to touch the space snake exhibiting defensive gestures and the guy with the map drones gets lost first.It's actually impressive how deeply stupid it was. Makes me want to reread the original script (which was not as retarded).
>>214348053yeah idk why people are so attached to this shitPrometheus was a far better origin for the alien universe than alien 1 was
>thread circles back.to prometheus LIFE IS A CIRCLE
>>214348167This, I grew up watching Ancient Aliens and Prometheus felt like it hit the nail on the head. Cosmic horrors just evolving in space isn’t scary. But if they’re bioweapons, that’s scary.
>>214348207Prometheus board after all.
prometheus was for brainletsgod all the seething by prometheusfags in romulus threads was amazing.i guess we get it here now.
>>214348319Ironic that's from another chan lol.
>>214348323>seething by prometheusfags in romulus threadsNever happened.
>>2143483504chan mods and admins are the no fun allowed type so go figure
>>214348207but is it flat?
>>214347747Such a cool design, but utterly impractical
>>214348450> but utterly impracticalWhy?
>>214348577The ground clearance, for one.
He comin' for that booty
Prometheus would have been good if they included the dialogue with the engineer being. Instead they just cut tjose scenes and only showed him being violent without provocation like a typical pavement ape.
>>214348737>The ground clearance, for one.Canonically has suspension that can lift it up quite a bit. It's a lowrider otherwise.
>>214348790The dialogue would make him less scary and mysterious.
>>214348931No dialogue made him appear like some dumb brute
>>214348786she's pretty sexy for a jeeta (or jeet fucker i'm not 100% sure what she is)
>>214349001>we needed more character introduction to the alien genocidal ass holeno
The Xeno in this show is the worst part about it. It has no presence at all. Its goofy looking, random girlbosses can outrun it, the eye monster fucked it up. It feels more like a scooby doo creature than a xeno.
>>214334279It was just an alien mini remake. I wish they'd made this section 3 episodes long. They've could've made who the saboteur was a mystery
>>214345807stubby legs yum
>>214347716I'd want to see a Malakak that was adopted and raised by humans
>>214348786How did she know it was around the corner like that?
>>214348790This. Also the prologue about them seeding life, training Jesus in their Engineer-fu and then choosing to kill humanity. They could have David hacking the computer and translating the logs, or the main computer at the ship. If an android can speak their language piecing the rest together shouldn't be difficult.
Notice how there was no synth on the ship? Because their synth is the one left behind in Predator: Badlands.
>>214348786>holding arms out like a dinothe maginot xeno is autist isn't it
>>214349059And it's selective on when it wants to kill and when it wants to fuck about lmao>kills squad of 4 in anime 1 second cuts>fucks about with the captian bitch on the spaceship for no fucking reason
>>214349154The OG one fucking crab walked lmao
>>214349042Perhaps just a few words? Like who the fuck are you at least? Did not have to be a full 2 minute monologue. That would have sufficed.
>>214348786This doesn't look very good. Wide shot with alien shouldn't be in focus.
>>214331295Thanks for dropping by Reddit
>>214349059Capitalism is the real monster, chud.
I genuinely don't know if the people unironically celebrating this show and the nigger quality eyeball alien are shills or if the board quality has just dropped.I'll only accept the latter if anyone defending it says 'kill niggers' in any response to this post.
>>214349059the new one has a different design
>>214348931I agree but they already ruined that by having him smack around like a retard and get rekt easily. They put no work into fostering any sense of the unknown with the engineers, they came across as eminently familiar.
>>214348786XenOmar coming yo
>>214349059It was over from the first instance.> introduced in full form instantly in weird flashes barely 3 minutes into the show> when first seen in real time it looks like a plastic model on wheelsThe show very clearly doesn't want to have the xenomorph in it and begrudingly has it in as some tiger alien amongst others.
>>214334736wait, so the Maginot expedition to gather highly dangerous alien creatures started in 2055? and they collected the xenomorph eggs within the 16 years timespan between Covenant and AE?what
>>214349804Hawley's already said he doesn't consider the prequels canon
Likers of the show:>it's entertaining and I like seeing more aliens other than xeno redosHaters of the show:>y'all don't really like this goyslop? I can't believe, it's unbelievable, it's just... you, you know its slop *right*? Haha Holy shit it's... like... fuck it's slop and you don't know?
>>214349966>encyclopedic number of posts describing why the show is retarded slop>posts thisretard
>>214348786>This can't be happening! I'm in charge here!
>>214349760It barely wants to have aliens in it. It’s clear the writers wanted to do fucking WestWorld or some other pseud millennial garbage.
please tell me this show resolves the bonus situation once and for all
>>214349760>>214350334Modern TV shows/movies are basically original scripts which get denied for being too risky. So the scripts are crudely mishmashed into popular IP's to make a 'viable product'.It's why you can get shit like Jurassic World not actually having much to do about science or dinosaurs. You know, in your science dinosaur series.
>>214347331>AI is primitive>realjstic androids are a thingChoose one
>>214348786lol just hold space
>>214350413>Choose oneMaybe you missed the part where Ash is obviously not your usual robot because he's full of weird organic shit and milk.MOTHER is the size of a fucking room and she's a glorified speak and spell.
>>214350334It has aliens all the time in it. Wtf? Do you zoomers lose it at 5 minutes of dialogue?
>>214349066>They've could've made who the saboteur was a mysteryThey actually think what they made was a good mystery plot.
>>214350454All of them like that in the setting
>>214350413You mean like in Alien or Aliens?
>>214350454They could have put a wetware computer into the ship. Androids can easily interface with the computer. So that's not the issue. They probably just chose to put a dumb regular steering computer into ghe ship.
>>214350554The androids have obviously advanced AI. So that is clearly a thing and not unknown tech.
Noah Hawley already wanted to do a Star Trek movie about advanced androids. It's likely, the current hybrid android story is what he salvaged. The Aliens were just tacked on.https://trekmovie.com/2025/09/04/noah-hawley-reveals-how-his-shelved-star-trek-movie-connects-to-the-next-generation/
>>214350665In otherwords, what anon said here>>214350363
>>214350665I mean it was pretty obvious, I'm pretty sure I've seen anons say that's what the show feels like back when it premiered.
>>214350609So Alien is a bad film now?
>>214350765The Nostromo is a space trucker vehicle. It's tech is going to be robust and out of date, just like today many industrial and government run systems still run programming language from the 1950s.
>>214350765the nostromo ship and its crew were backwater hicks driving a space truck and then getting caught up in something way above their paygradethe maginot ship and its crew were copypasted for absolutely no discernable reason (apart from the tech being shit as the ship left Earth in 2055 I guess) because WY sent them out specifically to hunt down and capture dangerous xenos and Grandma Yutani even assigned her favorite cyborg warnigger as its chief security officerwhy the fuck didnt she send a squad of mercenaries who are as loyal as warnigger was to accompany the civilian crew remains an eternal mystery
>>214350909>squad of mercenariesMaybe they died collecting the specimens? Morrow said many good men died for them.
>>214350993how many, because there's only 12 cryopods on the ship
>>214351006sorry, let me correct myselfthere are only 14 cryopods, not 12
>>214351006Speaking of, why don't they have a synth on board to monitor systems while the crew is in cryo? This is supposed to be a highly important science expedition. We know Morrow had his magic cyborg arm 65 years ago, are we supposed to believe basic androids weren't around then?
I think the alien designs for alien earth are great. Aliens don't have to look scary or other worldly. Heck this lil guy/gal is kinda cute! It reminds me of BB-8 and brings back that 2014 nostalgia I have for The Force Awakens.
>>214350993hold the fucking phoneif their mission was the retrieval of parasitic aliens why do they have their research nigress researching them instead of sealing them off until they reach Earth?why is she experimenting on them when they have already lost x number of their crew taking them onboard?if any of them were infected why didn't the casualties get cryofrozen when thats the basic protocol they are meant to follow (hence they put the jeet in a pod with the facehugger on him in Ep 5)why is this show so retarded
>>214350819>>214350909The Maginot is also a cheap expedition and WY considered it so low priority that didn't even send a synthetic with them, just a (cheaper) cyber-hobo.
>>214351258>The Maginot is also a cheap expeditionNo.
>>214351232The crew is expendable and WY don't want to lose time on basic research when the ship is 37 years on the way back doing nothing.
>>214351277Everything in the show so far indicates it.
>>214351258>The Maginot is also a cheap expedition and WY considered it so low priority that Grandma Yutani assigned her favorite warnigger to it and is going to war for its cargo in the next episodes, including sending a black ops team to Neverland just to retrieve her aliens>inb4 "oh but they didnt know what the cargo is :3"their actual mission everyone knew (bar the apprentice engineer who is as dumb as you are) was to retrieve dangerous, parasitic alien specieswhy are you talking out of your ass you massive retard
>>214351232>"why they didn't send the eagles to pick up the eggs?"
Who says the Maginot is the only ship? Maybe they sent a dozen cheap expeditions away not expecting any big return.
>>214351341because if WY didnt give a shit about the maginot and its crew the plot of the rest of the show wouldnt happen
>>214351293>>214351295No, everything indicates bad writing. Allowing the crew to experiment on a dangerous organism clearly jeopardizes the mission. The AI/retard who wrote the script clearly intended the audience to think the asian was a synth, and then forgot or didn't bother to add an actual synth.
>>214351327>her favorite warniggerPure headcanon. Again, as the show suggest that loyalty was in one direction.>their actual mission everyone knew (bar the apprentice engineer who is as dumb as you are) was to retrieve dangerous, parasitic alien speciesNo. They went to retrieve interesting alien species.Why are you talking out of your ass. you humongous retard?
>>214351327Morrow is not her surrogate son, he's just some stray kid she took in to experiment on and made a big impression on. There might have been more people like that.
>>214351384Ah yes, the chronic masturbators syths.
>>214351362They give a shit about the cargo not the ship or crew.
>>214334736is AVP and AVP2 canon?
>>214351427Only in the Predator universe.
>>214351401Where does it say he was masturbating?
>>214351385>Pure headcanon. Again, as the show suggest that loyalty was in one direction.hence the granddaughter states this exactly and then entrusts the same warnigger to recover the ship's cargosame cargo the show has repeatedly hammered into the auduence as being extremely important to WYam i not enough of a zoomer to enjoy this retarded slop? do i also need to turn my brain off while watching it?
>>214351452>the granddaughter states this exactly and then entrusts the same warnigger to recover the ship's cargoThe granddaughter doesn't even know he exists until he proved his loyalty and commitment. Also cybanigga was the one pushing for recovering the cargo, my speedwatcher friend.>same cargo the show has repeatedly hammered into the auduence as being extremely important to WYThe WY doesn't even know exactly what's in the cargo on their potential uses, that's why they were doing preliminary tests on them. Dada sugest the specimens might be valuable. They want it because it's theirs, can't let some fag steal it under their noses.>am i not enough of a zoomer to enjoy this retarded slop?You speedwatch and type like one.
>>214334736didnt it take the crew in alien earth like 80ish years to collect the first batch of eggs? why even bother sending another human crew when in alien earth the big 4 corpos essentially control entire countries and could theoretically just bring that shit in with no issues. just send in a full synth crew. why the fuck do they keep sending extremely expensive fragile hardware and people to collect these things? wtf is wrong with them
>>214336051you could do worse. there are some retarded parts but it's not unwatchable so far. 6-6.5/10
>>214351533>80ish yearsAre you high?
>>214341276just wish the other crew members got woken up first to really tone up the tension on who the traitor was. xeno killed like 2 people max. rest were killed by retardation
>S1.E6 ∙ The Fly>Tensions rise as powerful enemies confront each otherWY and Boy have a conference call>a dangerous plan unfoldsSingh impregnates lowspermcount and tries take him off the island>and curiosity leads to deadly consequences.More experiments done idiotically leading to an alien (the fly) escaping
The really retarded thing is that Morrow fucking sees the saboteur and still thought it could be anyone.
>>214351626the round-trip travel time to get all the specimens was 86 years. it was yutani's grandmother that started the expedition. point i was making was if alien earth is before alien and WY already knew about the xenomorph. why bother sending in a live crew or setting up that terraforming station just to get xeno eggs?
>>214351691it was also kind of dumb how the lead engineer and his apprentice were kind of dicking around despite how serious the situation was.
>>214351725>the lead engineerHe wasn't even the lead engineer. They knew the ship was in serious trouble and instead of immediately going to wake the actual lead engineer, Morrow says "no, too many people means too many emotions" lol
>>214351703So far the Alien has been a dork, so chances they'll forget about it until the Events of Alien.>>214351725Yeah dialogues are poorly written and the character psychology is atrocious. The lead engineer was the saboteur tho.
>>214351874>ship's sabotaged first into being a missile then into a giant arrow aimed at Earth>dont wake up the chief engineer who's in cryosleep and instead let the cankerous janitor and his evidently profoundly retarded apprentice dick aroundwhat a smart show
>>214351942also the doctor performing open surgery trying to remove alien organisms with literally no protective equipment of any kind was fucking retarded. literally on par with the retarded scientist on Prometheus who played around with the vagina cobra and the retards who go into an alient planet with no masks in covenant. like holy shit where do they hire these people
>>214352039californiaoh you mean in-universeidk man the lore and world building doesnt make much sense anymore, just embrace the slop
>>214351133People may complain but as far as creature design goes I say "Keep It Simple Stupid" is a good rule of thumb unless the artist knows his shit to make a design that is otherworldly and complicated that works well. And Giger knew it(as did whoever worked on the Xenomorph queen since as Giger gave its design some nice compliments), but for some other cases like the new xenos I'd be skeptical if they would find an artist good for it, be it because they dont know any good ones or just want to save on cash.
>>214352039>where do they hire these peopleThey're the cheapest H-1B immigrants, just like modern American corporations. Who else would sign for a dangerous 65 years mission?
>>214352083>>214352198hell i'm not asking for total realism but the incompetence being shown boggles the mind especially for a high value deep space secret mission which costs an assload of money considering the trip in prometheus supposedly cost weyland a trillion dollars. if you're going to go all in on a collection mission that could take close to a century before returning, wouldn't you want to send the absolute best and brightest? granted I guess it makes sense to have "crew expendables" on board but this is just dumb as hell. the retarded apprentice is still like in high school or some shit
>>214352232>send an expendable retarded crew on a mission where the cargo returning safely to Earth is the single most important taskthat makes sense, clearly you dont need a crew to get that ship back to Earth after that 65-year long trip
>>214352232Critical failure on these missions sounds something expected so guess they send several of cheap ships. So far the only expensive things might be the ship itself (assuming it's new and not a repurposed old model) and the fuel (was the fuel even mentioned in previous Alien films?). Everything else it's cheap.
>>214352296>Critical failure on these missions sounds something expected so guess they send several of cheap ships.it would actually be cool if they were in a small flotilla of 3 ships where it's expected to actually lose 1 or 2 of them.> So far the only expensive things might be the ship itself (assuming it's new and not a repurposed old model) and the fuel (was the fuel even mentioned in previous Alien films?).fuel was never mentioned but i'm sure that the whole expedition was a trillion dollars back in Prometheus. probably because the tech level was still in its infancy and weyland was desperate.
>>214335180AvP isn’t canon
>>214352354>it would actually be cool if they were in a small flotilla of 3 shipsNot really, it makes more sense to send every ship to a different place. Chances most of their 65 years were checking lifeless planets between cryosleeps. I won't be surprised if most expeditions return empty handed of with just a couple of useless critters.>i'm sure that the whole expedition was a trillion dollars back in PrometheusThey used state of the art technology and, allegedly, the best experts that money could buy. Its a completely different situation.
>>214352354according to >>214334736 the Maginot left Earth 38 years before Prometheusthen again the creators of Alien: Earth dont treat Prometheus and Covenant (and Romulus) as canon and Weyland's ship was noticably way more advanced than the Nostromo and the Maginot
>>214352442meant more that they meetup in a group when returning to earth. could be a nice set piece to having multiple dangerous xenos running around.
>>214352442>the best experts that money could buyyeah, I doubt that. the fucking geologist with the advanced mapping equipment is the first guy to actually get lost.
>>214352525The biologist sees a dead alien and runs away. Bad writing is bad writing.
>>214352491That sounds like a logistic nightmare, coordinating all ships with FTL shenanigans. Relativity doesn't seem to exist in Alien universe tho.I do agree that a flotilla its cooler, it could be an interesting premise, as in one ship gets fucked, other tries to help and their crew gets infected so the 3rd should decide to help or leave.>>214352525>promeheus is poorly written and all their experts are retardedWhat a new and refreshing take, Anon.
>maginot crew is experts instead>they safety measures and extra>nothing goes wrong>"Heres your aliens Yutani, all completely secured and brought back in containment">nothing happens, the endYeah that'd be such an enticing story
>>214352630>>they safety measures and extraHow much do they pay you Indians to poorly defend this tripe?
>>214352605>What a new and refreshing take, Anon.just saying that the retarded writing is in A:E too
The Maginot sabotage and crash into Prodigy territory was a trap set by Yutani. She knew Kavalier would want the aliens so she arranged for them to crash into his territory, giving her a reason to nuke him out of existence under the pretence of saving mankind, once Morrow collected enough specimens.
>>214352664While writing isn't exactly Alien Erf strongest point the crew being retarded and the expedition cheap its justifiable. Not that they even tried to add a couple dialogue lines about it tho.
>>214352677>let still relatively unknown xeno species run amok on your home planetit's retarded enough that i'd believe it.
>>214352677>so she arranged for them to crash into his territoryDid she also arrange for the lead engineers wife to get killed by aliens and for him to go mad and sabotage the ship, and then have her right hand man pretend to investigate the sabotage for no reason?
>>214352742>>let still relatively unknown xeno species run amok on china and indiaThat's it, I'm buying WY stocks.
>>214352731> and the expedition cheap its justifiableThis is your poor cope. No where is it indicated that this 65yr science expedition is cheap.
>>214352754The fly was an inside agent
>>214352778>No where is it indicated that this 65yr science expedition is cheapLiterally all your complaints are the expedition is cheap (retarded crew, no safety measures, etc).
>>214352742>implying mega corps doing turf fights would care about "home planet" shit rather than what is or isn't going in their territory>when even irl corpos don't
>>214352857corpos sell out their host country constantly, it's literally how they earn profits lmao
>>214352770>xeno species run amok on china and indiaimagine all the jeet xenos
>>214352857>only know the most basic information about your xeno cargo>scientist and doctor on your research ship don't even know your alien beetles fart nerve gas>don't even know that the eye monster gets smarter depending on the host>don't know how the xenomorph reproduces>decide to unleash it on the planet to kill off another corpoagain it's retarded enough that i'd believe that it was the plan.
>5 hours until episode 6Does /tv/ watch a stream together?
>>214353019No.
>>214353019Yes, but it's a secret.
>>214352996How can people say Resurrection is a bad film if it has Brad Duriff doing scenes like that?
>>214353045post now before this thread archives homie, Disney aren't looking x
>>214352742Yutani territory is the Americas, separated from Prodigy territory by the oceans. It's minimal risk for them and gives them a reason to destroy Neverland and Prodigy, thus explaining their non-existence in the canon after Alien.>>214352754Yutani would not have informed Morrow.
>>214353148>Yutani territory is the Americas, separated from Prodigy territory by the oceans. It's minimal risk for them and gives them a reason to destroy Neverland and Prodigy, thus explaining their non-existence in the canon after Alien.the point is they do not have complete information on their extraterrestrial cargo. it's an extremely stupid and risky move to risk the fucking planet just to take out one of your competitors. you think it's fine because we have hindsight and watcher/reader knowledge. the fucking xenomorphs could reproduce via airborne spores for all the know. again look to the scene where the two retarded doctors die to bug farts.
>>214352905>facehugger tries to plant its embryos in jeets or chinks>they just digest the embryo
>>214352803im pretty sure those complaints are about the atrocious writing and retarded premise, not the in-universe facts that you excuse with some autistic mental gymnastics and trolling
>>214352630im sure making your characters exceptionally stupid is the best way to make a horror movie or series' plot to happen or go forward anon, good job
>>214353245>the fucking xenomorphs could reproduce via airborne spores for all the knowAll the xenos are animals
>>214353338>tfw you find dried facehuggers in the traditional chinese medicine section
>>214353419>All the xenos are animalsagain, they do not have complete info about them. they don't know that a lone drone will eventually morph to a queen if left alone long enough. xenomorphs can and have overrun planetary populations in multiple alien comics. it's an incredibly dangerous and retarded plan that can easily bite you in the ass
>>214353245why didnt WY just tell the research nigress to fuck off after all the specimen were safely contained, cryofreeze the whole lot of them and only open them up after they return to Earth and safely in one of WY's black sites?
>>214353373Show is full of "bad writing and retarded premises" yet you keep bitching about the few things that actually make sense.>autistic mental gymnastics and trollingOh the ironing!
>>214353535they're all retarded. that's why. we have stricter containment procedures for earthborn illnesses and pathogens. while I don't expect them to go for complete realism a bit of common sense would go a long way for the writing.
>>214353615>we have stricter containment procedures for earthborn illnesses and pathogens.they even lost members of the expedition retrieving these aliens so they are well aware they are deadly and dangerous to humanswhy the fuck are they experimenting on them anywaywho enjoys this slop
>>214353245Remember, this show is partly about the hubris of corporations and the people who run them. Kavalier is an amoral scumbag who's not as smart as he thinks he is, and Yutani is a bitch too. These people don't give a fuck about the little people, they think they're safe in their ivory towers. Having some aliens crash in Prodigy territory on the other side of the world, giving Yutani plausible deniability for wiping out Neverland, is exactly the kind of shit ruthless CEOs would pull.
>>214353399name 5(five) horror movies or shows where the characters are smart
