Romulus editionprev >>214331007
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.
Just watched the latest ep. Oh boy that crew were really dumb.
>>214354434dumb crews is a tradition
imagine her nibbing on your c**k
>>214354606FAS looking retard.
>>214354606I can't. After the weird baby shit I can only imagine her biting it right off like a cheap hotdog.
>>214354735the show was very unfair with him
>>214354580These ones were complete morons. Just sat there and laughed and ate while people are dying from aliens running around the ship, not knowing while struggling with basic english.
Pitch a role for Dafne Keen in a future Alien flick/tv show
>>214354785Not like a captain abandoning crew in an alien ship and leaving them out of communication to go have sex while they're reporting alien movement
>>214354786she'd be a good protagonist but needs to put on a bra
>>214354786Alien: Show Girls. The shenanigans of a troupe of strippers on a WT colony that gets infected.
>>214354774The guy got it brutal. Forced to be sober, almost everyone on the ship is an asshole in some way or another, and pretty much the only one besides the cyborg to keep his shit together until the end.Honestly that black lady xenobiologist is to blame for almost everything. Sure the saboteur fucked the ship up but losing control of her lab ended things a lot faster.

>>214354786Only if the show involves a pussyburster
>>214355148>mournfulshould have gotten them out at 18 all downhill from there
what does xussy taste like?
>>214354885>takin' a whiff of dat booty
>>214355113that's some scary shit... and I'm outside ij the yard at midnight looking at the blood moon through my telescope
>>214355479acid
>oops I forgot to contain the aliens hehe now we are all deadwhy did you claim episode 5 was good? you liar, these writers are big hacks
>>214355113Is this from the show?
>>214354735Why does he look like Mr. Russell from The Gilded Age?
>>214355180>>214355360>>214355394I can count the short haired bitches I'd fuck on one finger, and that ain't her.
>>214355628is Mr. Russell from The Gilded Age jewish?
>>214355635
>>214354918>USSR exists and is doing pretty well>get job on evil capitalist ship>sell out entire crew and crash bioweapons on earth so another corp will give you a robot body maybe>still fail to capture Hohol-9 (day 2,000 of special 3 day space operation)
>>214355647He’s Jew-coded yeah.
>>214355678>>still fail to capture Hohol-9 (day 2,000 of special 3 day space operation)
>>214355600The characters are obviously supposed to be retarded. The opening scene with Clem should have keyed you in that the crew is filled with idiots.
>>214355600Did u miss the part where petrovich was a saboteur you dumdum
>>214354918>RussianHe is literally Lynchean. The crew got LYNCHED because they couldn't comprehend the level of KINO he operated at.
>me still waiting for the next episode while anons try baiting me for a rise
>>214355748Why did they send idiots!?
>>214355800>Asia is run by a white man>America is run by an Asian womanThe writers really thought this out.
>>214355838They didn't but most of the smart people died capturing the many xeno's for their mission.
>>214355838It was an invitation :3
>>214354885> Terrans don season dey air
>>214355800What a stupid fucking map. The corp thing has been completely flanderized. In Alien they worked for a singular sinister company but there was a competent earth military and the company wasn't all pervasive. Now Alien has been reduced to a franchise in which you get comical corporate slavery and a short haired girl boss who incidentally meets a few xenos along the way.The next bit of Alien media that will be worth watching will be the first one with a male protag.
>>214354434Seemed realistic to me. Much better than Prometheus and covenant.>>214354785It was appropriate for the timeline.>>214354774I think they were setting up him to be the audience's suspect. I like that they were bold enough to just go with a new character, even if he was 0 dimensional>>214355839Prodigy's guy is obviously Jewish
>>214355910I want to invite her to get my dick shawed, if you know what I mean.
>>214356054A shame what happened to her hehe
>>214356036>The next bit of Alien media that will be worth watching will be the first one with a male protagMorrow and Kirsh are the main protagonists.Wendy is just the DEI hire to keep up appearances. Can't say nothing about the cybernigger or else you're racist. Can't say nothing about synth because he's not even human.We won.
>>214355148These are very disappointing, no?
Tempted to play Aliens Eradication again.>>214356105The nogborg is refreshing as a non-nonsense main character.
>>214356036>first one with a male protag.Won't happen. Alien is a Teen Scream Horror franchise with a Final Girl as protag.
>>214356048Prometheus maybe, the Covenant crew were canonically just cruise shippers who had lost their captain and now being led by an indecisive mormon.The Alien Earth crew were WY crew knowing they were collecting aliens and equipped for it.
We have to go back to the boring Earth stuff this week?
>>214356139> *wendy leaps into Yutani HQ with her xenobuddy next to her*> *Click Click Boom - Saliva plays*> This episode PROUDLY brought to you by Noah Hawley
>>214356137>The Alien Earth crew were WY crew knowing they were collecting aliens and equipped for it.How the fuck did they even manage to collect the aliens? They were fucking retards. I think they were just a transport team.
>>214354735DEY HE
>>214356137They mentioned that they already lost crew members. They were operating on a reduced staff with an active saboteur. Tee bee ache>>214356139Eye goat is peak and I want to see where the alien langauge plot goes
>>214356259supposedly she and the jeet are doctorsthird world safety/hygiene standards
>>214356137Well, they were equipped working electric zapper guns to stun the xeno.
>>214356269The eye octopus is possibly the shittest thing of all
>>214356251They should have just made the whole show about collection those aliens and showing off the different planets.But now, we're going to take a space-based franchise and put it on earth. Brilliant!
>>214356361That would flop because they have zero creativity. The alien would mog insanely hard with the mysterious Giger tone and threatening parasitic life cycle. They would just have "jungle alien world #934068" and "desert planet with 2 moons"
>>214356328its an interesting idea but under what circumstances would a creature like even evolve in the first place?also it seems to be semi-intelligent but where does it keep its brain?
>>214356475It's not even interesting. The alien already has a novel and sinister take on parasitism, this is just a zombie alien parasite alien sue. Eye ball on tentacles is something a 6 year old would come up with and is so stupid and unconvincing. There's no conceivable way it could work or would evolve and it makes the whole show so silly it cheapens the xeno being next to it.
>>214355910>iT'S NoT A MaP, iT'S An iNvItAtIoNDavid was right to cut her up. Stupid bitch.
>>214356559bitch
>>214355800Not canon whatsoever; it’s too fucking stupid.>>214356036My headcanon is that the retards on the Maginot just had no understanding of geopolitics.
>>214356294Oh God we got it all wrong; the episode IS realistic and WY just had strong DEI goals thanks to an activist equity stake held by BlackRock.
>>214355800> prodigy came about in the past 20 years and now owns all of asia, most usable africa and greenland for some fucking reason> the emperor of all of this also gets on a real time videocall with a spaceship light years away to personally ask the engineer to crash it into his city
>>214356626holy BASED
>>214356927Real monkey paw when he then gave her an inverted ass
>>214356927damn young siggy was a qt
>>214356927>>214356944>interviewer: why didn't she shave her bush?>scott: she just wouldn't
So is Wendy going to become the Alien Queen ?
>>214357013hopefullyjust like in my animes
>>214357064What's the current approved female stance on anime? Used to be they hated it but I assume with their sad new obsession with kpop it's changed
>>214357013>>214357064preg synths
>>214357064Just not sure where else it can go with her being able to engage with them
>>214356328mad cause zombeye is mogging your gay penisbug in its own show
>>214357178What fucking trash is this
>>214357123you're a beta male
>can fly at FTL speeds>still need cryo podsSo what is it? FTL or not?
>>214357197I wouldn't care if one of the aliens was an 8 foot black engineer with an HGH gut and priapism and all he did was constafuck the xeno in the ass - it would still be better than an evil eyeball octopus
>>214357295this show is trash too, it's a perfect match
>>214354580>Alien and Aliens had smart crews>Everyone says they're the only good Alien movies and trash everything else>Alien earth has the dumbest crew in Alien, possibly all of fiction>IT'S AN ALIEN TRADITION!!!! LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN!!!!!Why is it okay when Alien Erf does it, but not when Prometheus or Covenant does it?
>>214354885Imagine walking onto the ship to meet your crew that you're gonna be spending 65 years with and you see this thing
>>214357356who are you quoting? prometheus was fun. some crew being dumb doesn't change that.
>>214357356prometheus and covenant crews were ridiculous slipping on banana peels level of incompetent
>>214357178You think that's whats gonna happen? A synth emaculate conception? Nibs thinks she is but. .
>>214354839
>>214354606That's a child! And she is pregnant, you sick fuck!
>>214357309>So what is it? FTL or not?Seems like it is FTL, but the FTL engines need a shit load of time to actually get to FTL speeds (and even then, still pretty "slow" FTL). The cryopods seem to be literally to save on crew's resources and sanity, instead of having to be up and about for months to years on end, waiting for the engines to spool up and do their thing.
>>214357356>Why is it okay when Alien Erf does it, but not when Prometheus or Covenant does it?Look, this is /tv/, and it's stuffed full of advertisement jeets, maybe second only to /v/. Notice how the diehard defenders of the shittiest shows evaporate whenever a series ends? When their contract expires, they go in search of new rupees elsewhere, and the "fanbase" shrivels away to a few clueless fa/tv/irgins obsessing over one of the female actresses.It's the circle of life.
>>214354735I thought he was Indian. Also, why did they turned a white kid into a black robot?
>>214357417It's an alien tradition, chud. If you don't like slipping on banana peels levels of incompetence you just don't like alien.
>>214357559Not sure if you're being facetious but that's true. Anyone who doesn't like Prometheus/Covenant/Alien Earth because some of the crews are incompetent really isn't a fan.
>>214357579>Anyone who doesn't like Prometheus/Covenant/Alien Earth because some of the crews are incompetent really isn't a fan.
>>214357309FTL would still take a long time, assuming you just count the speed.
>>214357559im not too mad about it i just remember that scene in covenant where the woman slipped on the guy's blood 2 times
>>214357622>he doesn't like the best films of the franchisecringe>>214357654that part was hilarious
>>214357559i dont like alien movies to be honest
>>214357688more of a predator guy?
so boy genius is a cyborg/synth or how else could he have hired the saboteur before the mission started (65 years or so ago)?
>>214357309are you stupid?
>>214357748Yeah. I like second one the most.
>>214355148You can park a 747 between those breasts
>>214357504That would at least make sense, but also pretty funny to imagine you'd have to wait 100 years before getting to FTL speeds.>>214357645FTL should, theoretically, be instant because of time dilation.
>>214357761Petrovich was chatting with relatives, and then one of them was like "I heard you hate WY, let me connect you to some guy".
>>214357761He didn't, he hired him on the way back.
>>214355148I known shes not popular or well known or whatever but I want Oona O'Brien to be the next zoomer to wear a lewd outfit.
>>214357958for me, it's ariana greenblatt
>>214357761Are you fucking retarded?The very first episode showed the saboteur being assigned to take over communications when the Maginot was near Saturn.I swear, there are at least two retards in this thread asking stupid ass questions that they would have answers to if they watched the show.I also see why the one poster keeps bitching at you about your reddit faggot brackets.
>
>>214357761He only contacted the ship a few weeks before it was supposed to return to earth. The ruskie was mad at weyland yutani because his wife died during the mission
>>214358045>I swear, there are at least two retards in this thread asking stupid ass questions that they would have answers to if they watched the show.this
>>214358104how many anons would be like Teng creeping on her and the big booba girl, i wonder
>>214354786Did that guy ever get to shoot his shot with Daf? Hope that KING got her number and they're dating now
why was last episode literally a 9/10?wtf
>>214358104should have been topless or at least in a bra and panties
>>214358149Let's just say that pod would be covered in gloop.
>>214358175because HOLY SHIT NOSTROMO I REMEMBER THAT THING

I am missing Kirsh. Morrow and cutiellus were nice, but I need more Kirsh NOW.
>>214358762Nice to see Disney + still doing outreach
gonna glue some googly eyes and fake tentacles to a tenga egg and pretend its cutiellus
>>214359235Create your own inventive Ocellus and make sure to tag FX and Disney + in your creations! Big facehug!
>>214358485Mizrahi Jews are ethnically more middle Eastern
How long until new ep? 25h?
>>214357859>FTL should, theoretically, be instant because of time dilation.would it tho? light speed is just how fast photons travels, I don't see how something traveling faster than photons is gonna warp space, unless it's a literal space warp engine.like, proxima century is about 4 light years away, and the planet they took the eggs from is on zeta reticuli that is already 39 light years away alone, they probably went even farther to pick the eye nigga and the other bugs, so even "faster than light" still would take some time.
>>214359832Tuesdays for US and Canada
>>214358243damn she's fucking wild
>>214360044I'm pretty sure that FTL has to be sped up to, and that it is exponential in the Alien universe.It is also influenced by mass. The Nostromo made it to Thedus in eight months. Yet, it was supposed to take ten months to get back from Thedus.And, when they got stopped at LV-426, it was mentioned that it was still going to be ten months to get back. So the whole speeding up and slowing down from FTL speeds is what takes up the majority of spaceflight in the Alien universe. Until at least the Sulaco. It was a little more than two weeks to go from Earth to LV-426. So the technology got better between the Maginot, to Nostromo, to Sulaco.Maginot still had four months of slowing down from Saturn to Earth, 800 million miles.Nostromo made it from Earth to Neptune in a month, 2.7 billion miles.Granted, the Maginot was operating on 2050s tech engines, and the Nostromo left Earth with freshly refitted 2120 engines.70 year engine tech difference.
>>214354399Ellen Ripley tells you to get a grip
Show is as cringe and unoriginal as Romulus. Morrow and Kirsh are the only half watchable characters. Everyone else I need killed in gruesome deaths, wendy and joe especially. I just want the original trilogy ridley had planned with prometheus. The characters were stupid but at least the ideas were interesting.
>>214361360>The characters were stupidyes>the ideas were interestingnop
>>214360857>The Nostromo made it to Thedus in eight months.that's impressive as thedus is about 60 light years away, I think the exponential speed up make sense.now imagine the maginot speeding up and slowing down between multiple planets and even systems, I personally don't believe they picked all the ayys from a single planet.I really like this idea because warp engines sounds fucking bullshit, even the infinite improbability drive seems more believable.
>>214357178Cheap ass low effort attempt to crib another of Geiger s designs. Shameful!
just bought some Eye Octopus Coin and some Teng Coin, hope my investment pays off
guys the critical drinker said he hates /ourgirl/
>>214358149He had good taste in women. That's all I'll say about him.
>>214356559it's an engineered bioweapon just like the xenomorphsever notice how the Alien doesn't have eyes?those are its eyes
>>214361745fuck his e-griftijg ass, the ither retard with the bears couldn't pronounce the Maginot properly until someone corrected him... he was saying magginot as ins maggot. You think I will listen to that kind of retard?>>214362091ikranians are not human, so his choice of gooning material is questionable
>>214356660Fitting, given the history of the Maginot Line:"The French military's Maginot Line (in use from 1935 to 1940, named after interwar period Minister of War and War Pensions André Maginot) has come to stand as one of the great symbols of shortsightedness, Myopic Architecture, stupidity, denial, and utter failure. The French built the most advanced system of fortifications that the world had ever seen — and, in the popular imagination, just sat there in their fortifications while the Germans bypassed them entirely in early World War II by invading indirectly through an area where the line was incomplete, and then the French just sort of gave up."--TVTropes
>>214357356>Why is it okay when Alien Erf does it, but not when Prometheus or Covenant does it?Who the fuck said it was okay that prometheus and covenant did it? They are just as bad and still are bad. Only Romulus is okay because they were just kids which justified their retarded decisions.
>>214361526The Nostromo wasn't even twenty years old in 2120.Yet, it got brand new top of the line engines before leaving Earth on it's ill fated mission.The new engines were beastly. Far in excess of what a ship that size needed, but perfect for long haul ore refinery movement.I mean, they were killing two birds with one stone, converting ore into separate metals, and carrying it to Earth. Using the travel time to break down and convert the ore is pretty smart. Show up with millions of tons of metal, ready to go and purified.Over thirty years ago, I read L Ron Hubbard's Mission Earth series. Man was insane, but he was a genius at writing with a bent for scifi.He had an engine in the story that was scary. There were only two of these engines produced, and the one that was tested in a ship worked fine, until it vanished, never to be seen again.The second was taken by the main character who made modifications to the ship itself to allow the engines to bleed off excess energy.They were called Will Be/Was Drives, and worked by pushing off against itself.They had infinite acceleration and deceleration, as long as you could bleed off the energy created. The main character figured out that the test ship did not bleed off enough energy, which led to an infinite acceleration, and the engines just kept pushing the ship faster and faster, until it passed the point of being able to slow down due to energy buildup, and was trapped in a neverending speed up cycle.Supposedly, the engines pushed against the idea of displacement, You will be here/I was there. I can't remember it exactly, but it led to much, much faster than light travel. I think that is similar to the infinite improbability type drive you mentioned.
>>214362197>They were called Will Be/Was Drives, and worked by pushing off against itself.Damn, I love metaphysical/conceptual technology so much. That's so cool.
>>214354384>Moaner will never lactate KY jelly for you
>>214362273I do remember that the engines caused nausea inside the ship, like carsickness, as the people onboard the ship could feel the dozens of tiny pushes the ship was experiencing every second. Like riding on a car rumble strip the entire time. A couple people on the ship were nauseated by it only to find out that meds were available to ignore the nausea, but since they skipped the briefing detailing the possible side effects, they missed that bit. Seems like cryosleep in the Alien universe negates these side effects of acceleration and deceleration. I really need to read the Mission Earth series again, but fuck me it's ten books long. It's a laugh riot too. They were all written in the last few years of Hubbard's life after he became a recluse, so he just goes whole hog into just needling EVERYTHING about Earth culture. And, he was ahead of his time. He rips on psychiatry and psychology being used as a form of population and control over people, down to shoveling drugs down kids throats to make them gay and liberal. Even to the point where one of the characters is captured and tortured by "lesbians" for fun, gets loose, and later captures them and pretty much rapes them straight. Then, the women he made straight bring him more women to get dicked down and converted. He gets paid to do it too.Shit's hilarious. The whole story is that Earth in the 80s is rapidly approaching thermonuclear all out war, which would piss of this alien race, as the Earth is on their invasion timetable, but not for another hundred years, so they send a guy to Earth to introduce cleaner technology than nuclear and coal, yet he is constantly stymied by big corporations in his attempts.It's a laugh riot.
>>214362197We know that Weyland-Yutani acquired the Nostromo as a Lockheed-Martin Bison class transport vessel and reoutfitted it extensively, including replacing the old Saturn J-3000’s with new Rolls Royce N66 engines. We know the N66 uses water as “reaction mass”, so my guess is that the water (maybe mixed with something heavy like boron? Maybe refined to deuterium?) is shot into a superheated reaction chamber, undergoing fusion and being expelled as plasma. You would get about 10% of light speed from this, which would probably be enough for WY since the ore has to refine on the way. They’d be out for about 5 years.The Sulaco can go FTL so that must be using a different (more expensive, probably) technology.
>>214362197I take more issue with the instantaneous travel methods, like warping space and shit. exponential acceleration is fine, and treating faster than light speeds as normal speeds instead of some physics breaking ones (as in the speed itself, not the actual physics breaking stuff to achieve those speeds).infinite improbability drive work more like space warp + wormhole travel, but instead of going from wormhole to wormhole until you reach your destination or warping space to instantaneously travel to another point in space, it warps space into an another universe where it's parallel "overlapped" space is "closer" to the destination and doing it over and over again as a form of shortcuts until you come back to the original universe destination, it's really fast but not quite instantaneous.
>>214362569both are ftl retard
>>214354714jokes on you.that is my fetish>>214354755and that is another favorite fetish
>>214362569I'm going to say it even though it will get blasted.It was deuterium fuel.The original novelization written in 1979 before the movie was released, but using the movie and notes and direct oversight by Scott and crew mentioned heavy water deuterium.Side note, the book also mentioned the facehuggers as having suckers on the palms in addition to fingers, which is backed up by the notes and pictures released.The writer did not get to view the movie, but had all of the script and finished scenes and guidance, including the eggmorphing scene that was cut.The movie cut a little bit after the book was released.
>>214354786X-23 vs Alien vs Predator
>>214362598Where does it say the Nostromo was FTL?>>214362665I’m happy they kept Giger’s truly disgusting fingernail concept on the face hugger.
>>214362585Will Be/Was engines build up rapidly.The trip from the alien planet Voltar to Earth took three days, and it was some ridiculous distance that traditional engines they had would take months to cover.Again it was a long time ago that I read it. They didn't have time travel either, the did have something they called "time sights" which were like a vr microscope or something where you could fix on a position and roll forward and backward to view the future, but once you saw it, that was what was going to happen at that moment and place no matter what you did.A Doctor Who type thing. You lock in a sequence of events by viewing them.
>>214362757why are you this dumb?
>>214362665>tech niggas looked at this horror beyond human comprehension and been like "ah yes, the perfect personal computer user input peripheral"
>>214362900Huh; I thought it was just at 99% or something.
>>214362534It's not just his work, obviously, but I quite liked his selections for winners of the L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future. I forget what edition I had, but there was one about a blue slug alien (?) that had no grammar for the personal, subjective self.
>Maginot is supposedly launched in 2055>Decades efore the Wey-Yu merge (post-Prometheus) (yes, I know Hawley doesn't care about it)>2055 ship/uniform/etc aesthetics apparently perfectly match 2122 Nostromo aesthetics for... some reason>Maginot's mission (which admittedly went to multiple stars) lasts 65 years, Nostromo's voyage from Zeta Reticuli to Earth only took 10 monthsWhy does Hawley not give a shit about continuity? I'm not a huge nitpicker, I just want the basic timeline to make sense and for movies that have come out in the last decade to not be blatantly contradicted. There's a point where things crosses over from the viewer looking for plot holes to plot holes being hard to ignore, and this nonsensical timeline has crossed it for me. Yes, A:E is kino, but this is so lazy. Was it meant to take place in the Aliens era or something?
>>214363124You might like the Remembrance of Earth’s Past series (the one with The Three Body Problem) which features the Trisolarans, a race that is incapable of lying and thus has no concept of it until they meet humans (they don’t respond well).
>>214363206It actually makes perfect sense if you imagine it taking place around the same time as Aliens, maybe even a little later.
>>214363225Who during production decided it would take place in 2120 and can anyone provide me their email address so I can call them a retard?
>>214363288Just @ Noah on Twitter like I do whenever the characters say something lore breaking retarded about tech or geopolitics
What a disappointment. I don't care about the fucking transhumanism. I don't care about the other life forms. I just want fucking xenos wrecking havok. If Wendy ends like an Alien whisperer, I'm gonna stop watching this shit.
>>214363365My dad called this show “A24slop” and with the exception of this last episode, I think he’s right.
>>214363313Based but>tw*tter accountI shiggy diggy>>214363365Fuck off, it's kino

>>214358104>we lost good people getting these samples>not a single empty unused pod
>>214363206Because these people want to replace existing lore with their own
>>214363431Well, yeah?I watch all aliens movies now and then. I specially like Aliens. The one I don't rewatch is 4. But all of them have something I like. That feeling of going against this unimaginable threat.But here? The xeno is trivialized to death. There's no tension in anything. Like just electrocute it to death or have that 12 year old synth thing club it to death too, why not.
Cailee is my whorefu>>214363728You're spinning it as some agenda-driven conspiracy. The motivation is that Hawley wanted to give Morrow his "you've been gone for 65 years and your daughter grew up and died while you were gone" backstory - even though his character doesn't really need that for his motivations and tragedy to work and make sense.
I am half way into the second episode of this show. What the fuck is up with the presentation of the plot?This show feels like listening to someone who starts speaking mid-sentence. Why not just tell the story linearly?
>>214363872To make cunts like you seethe
>>214363906I’m an average Joe, the audience this show depends on keeping it alive. Why Alienate me?
>>214363872Writers need to feel like they’re smarter than you now and it sucks.
>>214363938>>214363960>MAKE THE SHOW RETARDED LIKE ME
>>214363872If the plot is presented simply, you might feel a bit more comfortable criticizing it. Making it hard to follow induces doubt and let’s the writer claim that anyone who doesn’t like it is just too stupid to understand it.
>>214363979Nigger if normal people can’t follow a chain of events in a show ostensibly about things happening, then that’s on the writers. Why do you think everyone glazed Shogun so much? It’s because it was about people doing interesting things!
>>214363872>>214363938The writing is ridiculously stupid (different writers and directors for each ep), but its saving grace is that the monsters get plenty of screentime. They still made a lot of bad decisions on how to introduce the critters though. No suspense or dread, just watching a lot of idiots get torn up or parasitized.
>>214364027I and most other viewers are able to follow what's happening pretty easily, why can't you?
>>214363979>tfw not enlightened enough to appreciate the genius of a show in which nothing fucking happens and any chin of events is impossible to followMan, you must hate the original Alien; that’s just a boring linear narrative about a monster eating people in a sci-fi world. How pedestrian. It would be much better if it was an atmospheric slow-burn character driven A24 psych-horror think-film that was actually a metaphor for intersectional oppression, right? Maybe starring Anya Taylor Joy?
>>214364075Following the plot should be automatic. The fact that this show is less bad than others when it comes to the lofty “scenes in the right order” benchmark doesn’t make it OK for writers to edit shows badly and then claim that your confusion was intended.
Why is the alien from a distant planet a human eye
>>214363365You can rewatch Aliens right now sweetie
>>214364175My boomer dad had this take on WestWorld and I maintain he was vindicated. He watched half of the first season and was like “it’s retarded; the scenes are all in the wrong order”.At first I laughed him off, but I genuinely can’t figure out what the fuck that added to the show. It was just needlessly confusing.
>>214364265It's a simple way to build the narrative around a twist. 2 time disjointed plots come together at a dramatic point. It adds nothing on rewatch but on the first watch it takes a little brainpower so it upsets dimwits
so how 'biological' are synths? Can they be transformed through the goo?
>>214364316Literally when does this happen? And if you say “Bernard was really Arnold”, there are WAY better ways you could have kept that a secret.

>>214364422When in either?
new eps when?
>>214364530The entire first season of westworld was building up to the reveal that main guy was actually old guy. The fact that I even have to type this out means you aren't worth any more of my time. Not even worth googling to find the character name

I just watched Romulus. what was that human thing at the end
>>214356125It blows my mind that the plotline for this game is just "more aliens lol" and it's still a better thought out story than Earth

>>214365426>Morrow wips out the go-go gadget arm>instead of the knife or blowtorch the space in the middle of the 4 knuckles opens up for an onahole
>>214361745>said he hates /ourgirl/What a faggot, srsly
>>214365039Spunkmeyer was dumb for pissing outside of the ship and dropping the ramp.In all fairness to him though, he saw nothing of what the Marines inside saw, and NONE of the Marines had the time to read the file Gorman told them to read, nor were they briefed at Gateway station.They just up and dropped the dozen of them into a meatgrinder.Although, I do think Hicks read some of it. Man was awake so long he fell asleep on the dropship, and agreed with Ripley's choices every step of the way once she impressed him with the loader.Before that, she was just a flight warrant advisor, extra baggage.
>>214365171That was Romulus, you doof. The synthnog even namedrops the title when it shows up as a winkwink to the audience.

>>214356125Thank you anon, even though you most likely wont be reading this :) Alien Doom mods are just what I need after watching most of this slop. Isolation and the first three films are canon. Its all corpo slave slog fest now, thank god for the talented

>>214354384Why is this coon in everything
Guys, hear me out, a modern reconstruction of Treasure Island except the treasure is xenoids. Some W-Y equivalent of Long John Silver could even have to space his beloved eggs at the end. It'll be a better script than Earth.
>>214361745He will never be our guy.
>>214363831>The xeno is trivialized to death.It was trivialized in the original movie already, since it showed that you can pierce it entirely with a simple-ass harpoon gun. This means that if they had a single fucking gun on the ship, the xeno problem would have been dealt with, as long as they could turn on all the lights on the ship, gather and move in a group and flush it out. The xeno was never supposed to be some unstoppable killing machine, it was just supposed to illustrate the terrifying possibilities of what fucked up stuff evolution and/or bio-engineering could come up with, given adequate exotic resources/environment. Despite how much I like the idea and design of the xeno, not even in the original movie/script was it supposed to be the end-goal/point of what they wanted the audience to take away.

>>214366207Didnt the CEO herself hired the cybrog when he was a poor child off the street. They literally hire anyone for cheap labor. It's why they have enough money to control North and South American
>>214368681the cyborg was at least brought in by yutani and was likely trained by them. he was amongst the most competent and most loyal of the crew. it makes sense to send "expendables" along with the expedition, but they'd at least have to be competent enough to get your cargo back considering it takes literally decades for the round trip. you could have all the money in the world but time is the one thing you don't have.

>>214354384I laugh at the handful fo retards who pretend to discuss this shit.It doesn't matter.Alien seris ended 40 years ago
>>214357356>>214357400They were the fucking ones who made this tradition, you idiots.
>>214357356when Prometheus came out Alien was still a serious franchise, but it and Covenant turned it into a joke. And now Earth is just continuing the joke.
>>214363206I think Hawley wanted to make it a major plotpoint that the crew has no family left. Like Ripley in Aliens.
>>214369776it extends beyond this franchise, almost (scifi-)every horror movie and franchise gets lambasted if the victims in them are retarded, particularly when they are meant to be accomplished researchers, astronauts or professional soldiersnaturally this shouldnt excuse any moviemaker, but when you have retards claiming its tradition (just so the movie/plot can happen) then they are just admitting to having dogshit standards
Wait, this doesn't make sense, did they travel with the specimens for 40+ years? How did they feed them through the whole time? Are the plants and ticks able to digest human blood and tissue? How? That would imply common DNA.This doesn't make sense at all.
>>214370273>I think Hawley wanted to make it a major plotpoint that the crew has no family left. That was always a major plot point in 70s and 80s hard SF about interstellar travel. I am glad they brought this up.
>>214355360spenny?
>>214370316They didn't address this yet. The specimens are clearly not in cryostasis or they would have found out it wouldn't work an the hugger. The containers are just stand there and whatever is inside is just living in a cubic meter of space, not hooked up to a life support system changing the gases. Did they research the food for the animals and their lifespan? Their reaction to cryo tech?
>>214370449>They didn't address this yet. The specimens are clearly not in cryostasis or they would have found out it wouldn't work an the hugger.I assumed it did work but Petrovich deactivated the cryo to cause further chaos.
>>214370449>The specimens are clearly not in cryostasis or they would have found out it wouldn't work an the hugger. wouldnt this be one of the first things these retards should test given they also spend more time in the pods than awake????
>>214365039Marines being dumb jarheads is expected. Engineers and scientists on research spaceships, not so much
>>214370467>I assumed it did work but Petrovich deactivated the cryo to cause further chaos.Same, because it was established in Alien canon that cryo-sleep is effective at preventing chestbursting, no ?
>>214370550that was the plot in Aliens, Burke wanted to get Ripley and Newt impregnated, then cryofreeze them on the Sulaco until they get back to Earth
>>214354384Why the fuck did Peteovitch let the facehuggers out? Did Boy Kavalier stiff him on the payment?
>>214370708distract or kill the crew that could repair the ship and stop his and BK's plot
>>214370708probably an accident caused by the explosion
>>214370845he literally opens the containment cages on the security feed
>>214370845
>>214370812Did he think he could just juke the xenomorph and all the other aliens and then somehow convince mu/th/ur to let him into the crash room?
>>214355782If the nigress would have done her job right 4 more people would be alive. Tang too potentially cause Nigbot got distracted by the tick breach. He dealt with the alien handily once he got onto its trail, and the saboteur was a retard that just died for no reason.The alien wouldn't have been a problem after that probably, maybe.
>>214371171None of the characters bar Morrow had much going on a they were lobotomized cardboard cutouts of people to help the plot happen
>>214371210>The alien wouldn't have been a problem after that probably, maybe.not sure about that given how the Alien was twice the size of the largest containment cages in the zoo and probably strong enough to shatter the glass with its tail, claws or second mouth anyway
>>214356125>drop out of a vent into a locked room>hear an egg open
>>214354606Dating nibs and convincing her you're just infertile when she doesn't get the kids she wants.
>>214370467Yeah, pretty obviously. Even if their metabolism was too fast to be completely inhibited, the facehugger breathed as fast in the medbay as it did in the cyropod. It should have breathed significantly slower. Or the writers are retarded 30/70
>>214371260Hook it up to a constant source of electricity, cyro it, or hell even just kill it and deal with the acid, they had more eggs.
What the fuck is this show? How did this happen?I'd been holding off watching until all episodes were out, but decided to watch first 5 episodes yesterday. I was cautiously optimistic, but this is a disaster. The show is both dumb and boring.What 's the plot even about? Is it about the child minds in robot bodies? The children who don't actually behave like children but rather retards?Is is about industrial espionage? By the 'genius' trillionaire who's so far shown zero sign of intelligence. We're just told time and time again that he's really smart somehow.Is it about the alien? This show is set 2 years before the first film and yet dozens of people are fully aware of the alien and they've already figured out more than people have learnt on all the films combined. Where did any of this knowledge go?Why does everyone behave so weird? It's like they are not behaving as though they're in the situation they're in. It was bad but then I got to episode 5 and I couldn't take it anymore with that crew of people who were just behaving so strangely. That scene where the security guy is telling them the ship is going to crash and there's a saboteur on board, but people are just talking over each other about wages and food. I had to make sense of it by telling myself they had all gone nuts on their long voyage.How did someone get their hands on the Alien property and be allowed to produce this rambling nonsensical show?
>>214354606Is she incapable of closing her mouth?
>>214370859Makes you wonder why they chose to make the xenobiologist have soup for brains when they could've just had Petrovich break the containment again as another "fuck you"
>>214371479Lips are too succulent and plumb to close the mouth
>>214371461Hawley already wanted to do a story about androids and AI when he was about to make a new Star Trek movie. When that got scrapped he probably repurposed some idea for Alien Earth, tacked on a plot about xenomorphs and threw in the dumbest Alien clichees.https://trekmovie.com/2025/09/04/noah-hawley-reveals-how-his-shelved-star-trek-movie-connects-to-the-next-generation/
>>214371461>multiple directors/writers ruin cohesion>retarded editing, reshuffling scenes that doesnt serve a benefit to the viewer, likely due to the studio's orders>ep5 a complete rehash of things we already knew/saw glimpses ofIm pretty sure just telling the story linearly would cut away 10%+ of runtimeas to people acting strange: thats a common theme in the Alien franchise, best example is David in Prometheus - in essence everyone starts questioning their own place in the hierarchy when confronted with a superior being or with the origin of who they deemed to be their master, its an ontological shock that breaks and transforms people like MKULTRA showedthe kids are manchurian candidates, deadly killers but unstable, in this sense they mirror the aliens
>>214371461>Is it about the child minds in robot bodies?yes>Hawley doesn’t view this fact as a limitation. Instead, he’s figured out a very specific trick: writing his own kind stories that nonetheless fit into preexisting worlds,

>>214371461>Why does everyone behave so weird? It's like they are not behaving as though they're in the situation they're in.This is the part that bothers me most about the show.

>>214372585Holy shit why does every new dad feel the INSUFFERABLE need to make every fucking thing they write about having kids. This has fucking RUINED so many video games, too. Almost every prestige game for the past decade has been some serious aging hairy faggot musing about raising a precocious kid.I’m not saying you shouldn’t love your kids. I’m not saying stories about kids are inherently uninteresting. But oh my God why do all these uncreative faggots assume I’m passionately interested in the very mundane fact that they now have a toddler? This isn’t your personal dad Twitter! Holy shit!God, all this useless bullshit about kids in the show makes total sense now.

>>214371461A show can be about multiple things. Yet another turbo dimwit filtered
>>214365039rewatching Aliens made me think this outfit of marines is dumb and highly expendable, selected on purpose certainly by Burke (who is the guy who specifically sent Newt's parents to check the by then very well known Derelict ship, Ripley mentions this after the scene with her and newt and the facehuggers in the medbay). I say this by looking at the "marine briefing" scene, where the marines are in the presence of their superior officers (Apone and Gorman) but are not in formation or in "Attention" posture, instead are slouching about, side eyeing and mocking their superiors, and both Apone and Gorman aren't immediately correcting them, letting them act like thugs, until Gorman eventually has them review everything. During the mission, they disobey Gorman and use firearms, causing the reactor to begin overheating and later exploding. Even Gorman is a very inexperienced Commanding Officer, as he states during the drop and demonstrates later. In fact, the mission would've gone better for Burke if he hadn't taken Ripley at all.So yeah, company sending expendable dumb crews is kind of a repeating trope, down to the biographies of all the crew of the Nostromo that shows up in the start of Aliens and extra material, where they're all fuck ups in one way or another, or new like Ripley.

>>214366556>>214356125recently bought Aliens Dark Descent and you can tell they put a shitload of attention to detail, attention to atmosphere, good writing and S O U L into that game, worth a check.
