>called Alien: Earth>Xenomorph barely shows up at all>actually about robots with children's brains, a groomer cyborg, and one spicy eyeball
>>214434243Hawley clearly wanted a different show but couldn’t get it going without tacking xenomorphs on. This is a drawn out revenge story against the thing he was forced to accept to get a mediocre story about the nature of being human and/or retarded Peter Pan deconstruction to get greenlit.
More like Reddit: Earth.
>be in the future>there's finally technology to transfer your consciousness into a perfect immortal body> for some reason you get your consciousness transferred into a 5'6 indian manlet body>you also can't change the body at all and need to live in it for the rest of your eternal life>also the rest of the kids get average bodiesBros the future is super blackpilling..... They could've all been superhuman models and this is what they get?
>>214434243>called Alien: Earth>takes place on Earth>finally get to see aliens go on a killing spree in dystopian cities killing thousands of civilians >we get 2 eps in 1 empty building and the rest takes place on a remote island with no staff
>>214434355Roy Batty said they have the potential to develop FTL travel, so they could make new bodies if they feel like it. just download all the books into their heads.
>>214434371expectations subverted, aren't we clever? doing it your way would be too on the nose, so passe.
>>214434355So you're saying he won? Kino.
>>214434411>defend FTL travel as integral to Alien for five weeks>Hawley drops this lineI'm done with this hack.
>android with superhuman strength and speed and intelligence gets stuck by a door latch >Let's a horrid alien fly known to eat metal just kill him even though he has the strength to kill adult xenomorphs Also how is the fly trapped in the metal cage if it eats metal
>>214434233>hurr durr not canonThe director lierally said this is canon along with the other 4 mainline Aliens thougheverbeittheless?
>Yup, that's me! You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.
>gets killed by metal eating bugs with giant silicone nutsacks on their chins
>6 episodes in>every time a xeno appears on screen even for a second, i still stand up out of my seat and yell AAAAYYYY!!!!
>>214434284This.It's like a pitch for a different sci-fi horror rip off which got rejected, but then Hawley was offered to lump it in with the Alien IP to salvage it. The result is a bizarre amalgamation of GitS fanfic slop, le "human-to-android" transcendence reddit shit, le ebil corpo war, Peter Pan analogies beating you over the head relentlessly, creatures that came straight out of Resident Evil, convoluted dialogue involving grooming + talk about low sperm count + DEI hires doing retarded bullshit, and a bare semblance of a """plot""" that circles back in itself just meagerly moving forward....oh, and the titular xenomorph is in this for reason.
I got fooled by fake AI video for the first time over this fucking showI wasn't even fooled for very long but it feels terrible, like the "all footage of everything will actually be fake" schizo threshold is coming up on us fastPic related, absolutely none of this is actually footage from Alien Earth previews
So in the far future in a mulit-billion dollar tech company capable of AI, consciousness transfer, and everything in the like............Why does every fucking corporation have such shitty containment protocol?! I mean god damn, the ship crash? The fly? No one is treating these things with the care we would today. Where are the contamination suits? Why are they being fed through human door access and not special twin panel safe boxes? Fucking zoos have shit like this
>>214434931I enjoy it despite some serious issues. That being said, I would be shocked if this didn’t start its life as something non Alien related.
>>214434233YOU DIDN'T LINK THIS THREAD N THE PREVIOUS ONE
>>214435057>bro why is there so much hubris in a sci fi horror show??????damn it's almost like hubris is what the entire genre is about or something.....
>>214434658nice file name
>>214435126There's hubris, and then there's common fucking sense. It's really taking me out of a show that I really want to like
>2 episodes left>Countless plotlines still dangling with zero real hope of a real conclusion>The show is still 90% filler>Almost everything related to the city and ship could have been cut>Only going to get one or two xenomorphs running around an islandReminder that we could have gotten xenomorphs in future New York, making a giant nest in the subway tunnels and attempting to be contained by colonial marines.This entire series is just further proof that the direction of the franchise should be action-horror bughunts. Not pretentious dramas.
>>214435057>Why are they being fed through human door access and not special twin panel safe boxes?The episode absolutely shows us that they HAVE "twin panel safe boxes" but the one on the fly cage was broken, either due to sabotage or because it's a cage for flies that dissolve metal. Of course, the episode also shows us that Isaac would have survived if he had still stupidly and carelessly opened the front door but just shoved the tray in then closed it, so whateverProdigy's terrible fucking island lab is still unironically more secure than the Maginot's "Just open the top of the tube and shove your hand in to feed them" policy
>>214434233>baaah
just enjoy the shitkino, you people are tiring.
>>214435151>Reminder that we could have gotten xenomorphs in future New York, making a giant nest in the subway tunnels and attempting to be contained by colonial marines.
>>214435151it suffers the same problem as all modern tv shows.season 1 feels like nothing but a prologue to establish characters to do things in season 2.
>just enjoy the shitkino, you people are tiring.
>>214435151>Reminder that we could have gotten xenomorphs in future New York, making a giant nest in the subway tunnels and attempting to be contained by colonial marines.This is exactly what I was expecting. I am disappointed but still enjoying this shitshow. Is bad but in a fun way.
Feetsisters keep winning
>>214435259reddit is when you took this garbage seriously in the first place and expected it to be something
>>214435269I expected the entire show to take place in the crash site and the city. I was incredibly confused and let down when they immediately left in ep 3 and have just been on the island doing nothing since. These streaming slop shows really do blow their whole budget on the first ep to try to hook you to watch the rest. So formulaic now.
>>214435074just like how Cloverfield Paradox and/or 10 Cloverfield Lane had the Cloverfield IP tacked onto them after the scripts had been written for standalone movies. They don't have much impact on the Cloverfield lore, yet somehow I enjoyed both as Cloverfield movies and as standalone stories
>>214435409Was he controlling the quantum remote hand?
>oh my god an Alien just crashed in a city! imagine the chaos if it spreads!>umm ahkshully, we captured and contained it in some island in the middle of nowhere. The whole show will take place hereMega gay. The trailer had some shots of military searching a jungle. Made me believe this was actually going to happen. The whole earth getting fucked up. This probably isnt in the show anymore.
I'm mad because I know this entire fucking show is just some ad for a movie they'll probably announce after
>>214435151season 1 is about the alien getting off the islandseason 2 is about it multiplying and taking over earthhopefully
>>214435540It was such a pussy move, lol2 ep of Aliens on Earth, 4 ep of contained aliens
>>214435540>>214435562The Earth really cant have a massive outbreak without it breaking canon. Weyland Yutani doesn't know about the Xenomorph in Aliens. You could do a city wide infection and have the city get nuked at the end but that's the upper limit of the show's scope.
>>214434284I'd honestly believe this. It does feel a lot like Hawley wanted to do sci-fi and they told him he could only have the money if he did Aliens. Everything makes so much sense if you look at it through this lens.
>>214435625just retcon Aliens, ez
>>214435151The age of 20+ episode seasons is long gone, it has been mostly teasing so far.
>we need an absolutely non threatening white male lead>sir, he's already here
>>214434233Any time I see anything with Alien or Predators it somehow ends up being more cringe than the last time. Why is there a CGI parasite eyeball in this movie about Aliens? I'm not asking, I don't care. I will be clicking off this post after it goes through, but my point is this is an example of it being worse than the last time. Skinny, tall white dude the first time. Terrible franchise. Like two good movies.
>>214435151People really want the show to blow its load in the first season, huh
>>214435625honestly, i dont care about the canon as far as timelines go.
>>214435713filtered
>>214434233>stares at you
>>214435730Yes? Nobody wants to wait 3 years. It will be completely forgotten by then.
>>214434967Every advance in AI slop fills me with hope because i know some day I will get the xeno dinosaur sex mommy i deserve>>214435661>>214434284>>214434931This is literally where Prometheus came from, Ridley Scott did not want to do more Alien franchise shit and the studio told him "You will not get tens of millions of dollars for the production unless it's Alien franchise shit"
How do I start talking to her bros?
Everything in the show is dumb. Like really fucking dumb. Both the plot and the characters.But I'm enjoying it anyway and I'm actually looking forward to next weeks episode.
>>214435813Yeah shit's really dumb but still manages to be the best show airing ATM which speaks volumes about the absolute state of modern media.
Imagine if we got a third season of RBW instead of this shit
>>214435151Xenos would be instantly mogged by formal military so yours is just fantasy
>>214435925Nah you can have Dune season 2 instead.
>>214435925why did this get cancelled
How does the fly not eat through the containment cell?
>>214435925raised by wolves was making shit up as it went 10 times harder than this garbage, it was never going anywhere either.
>>214435952Too good for the normalfag masses.
>>214435959Special alloy that looks exactly the same than the other cells.
>>214435925Canceling a show before any of the mysteries are explainedYou cant do that
>>214435998>Special alloy that looks exactly the same than the other cells.
>>214434233Godsmack? Really?
>>214435925I think they already kinda shit the bed by destroying the ark and killing most of the interesting supporting characters.But it is very unfair that it never got another season, yet Alen: Earth very likely will.>>214435933A formal military would not be able to arrive in force until the hive is under the city was already very mature.Until then, any police and small scale rapid response force would not be able to really stand up to xenos pouring out of the sewers and subway stations.Besides, this is the Alien universe. Not everything has to be perfectly logical.>>214435952It was too good for this evil world. Read: Inaccessible to normies.Honestly, even Twin Peaks would have been canceled after 1 season the way shows work today.
>>214435151I'll never stop laughing that she was portrayed by a Jewish actress instead of anyone remotely Hispanic.
>>214436049Since when do Chinese girls have asses like that?
>>214436049The important thing is the mystery, not the explanation. Questions are more interesting than answers.
>>214434233Why didn't doctor Cuck sound the alarm?
Do you guys think a hugger would go for the anus if someone was bending over all spread open? This is a serious question and opens many possibilities.
>>214436143I've watched extensive footage from KGOvipositors that suggests the answer is yes
>>214434233>reddit sheepok I laughed
>>214436143Do I look like some kind of queer to you
Who controlling Kirsh? That robot motherfucker can't be acting on his own. Who would build a robot that is capable of betrayal? or are they just editing it so it appears as if Kavalier is out of the loop?
>>214436212He's his own master now
>>214436212he's just a secret asshole like davidthe only difference is that boy retard is so unlikable that you hope he gets what's coming to him
>>214436212He probably just doesn't respect human life and thinks synths are better
>>214434233If Eyeball monstah is Reddit, then which of the 5 specimens is 4chancore?
>>214436317The cunt goat
This is getting almost unwatchable. It really upsets me when horror relies on everyone being a complete fucking retard in order to further the storyline towards chaos. It's fucking boring.
>>214436340The way the retard kid entered the cell to feed the fly, infuriated the fuck out of me.
>>214436352All he had to do was open the door, throw the shit in and close the door. They're not gonna give a fuck if it's in a container or not.
>>214436340>>214436352Parody levels of contrived.The writers should be embarrassed at the slop they've made.
>>214436340>>214436352>>214436379You would have thought fear would have given him the sense of quickly opening the door and sliding it in, not fully stepping into the fucking unit. This is as strange as how unprofessional the spaceship crew was, especially after there were multiple deaths and the containment breach. Also how the fuck can the doctor just leave the lab when the eye container was improperly secured? You would think there would be failsafes to ensure the room is locked until everything is put away. The whole world isn't Liveleak, companies even today ensure stupid proof protocol
>>214435151This is why I hate television. TV shows are an absolute waste of time with nothing to say and absolutely zero kino because the only thing they're concerned with is padding out the most mediocre plots ever to keep your attention. Anything "cool" happening is done solely out of obligation so you don't get sick of it and watch something else. OH WOW THAT KILL WAS SO EPIC, then 3 episodes of nothing
>>2144363402 more eps and we are done
>>214436340you have to think about the kind of person who would be willing to live on a tropical island working with bleeding edge tech and an infinite budget
>>214436317>If Eyeball monstah is Reddit, then which of the 5 specimens is 4chancore?
>>214436121That's the first thing I'd do if I saw my robot kid invention lying on the floor. I would certainly not try to retrieve it from the alien terrarium on my own with an assassinjeet behind me, and he knew that his precious robot creations were glitched as fuck
>>214436340>>214436352A lot of it is just bad direction desu.Like the scientist guy opening the door to get the melted synth kid out.Just making the kid still alive would've made that scene make 10x more sense. There would've been a ticking clock element and a reason for scientist guy to open the door immediately. As it stands you can see the synth kid is dead and there is no difference whether you open it now or call for a quarantine crew to get him out.
Why was the robot instantly incapacitated the moment acid touched its "skin"?
>>214436472our guy
>>214436317
>>214436352>supposed to be one of the smarter kids>should know what the fly is and that it spits acid and is extremely dangerous>acts like a complete retard because ????
>>214436490Gen 1.They need to update the hardware.
>>214436490The acid melted vital micro circuits. Really makes you wonder why they always put the brain in the head when the belly is a much safer spot.
You know what also is fucking stupid? The therapist. I'm no psychologist, but there are ways to provide Wendy a convincing argument concerning what they did to Nibs>"Wendy, I took no pleasure in making her forget. She was unstable, erratic, a danger to herself and others with further psychological decay. I we had two options; intensive therapy with no guarantee she'll ever get better, with the risk of no going back, or I could simply make her forget a few days and help her. What would you have done, Wendy? Also you speak as if sadness and pain are a weakness when they're some of our greatest strengths. They keep us in check, human, reminding us of what we could lose or have lost. If you were to remove those things, you'd simply.....be. And that's how imagination and creativity die too, the very thing that made you. So I'm sorry this happened, but know that what I did I did to save her."Wow, that was hard to write. Better to have Wendy have a internal crisis between the synth and the therapist rather than just feed into the "I AM THE FUTURE, FUCK HAVING EMOTIONS" trite
>>214436121He should of sounded the alarm and got some staff to secure the area and then got the kid out. It made no sense. But ofc the writers said 'but we need to get him facehugged to advance the plot' so they made him go full retard and out of character for no reason so pajeet can unlock the doors for the eggs.
>>214436523I mean you could say that about people too.We have these thick chest cavities containing most of our vital organs and for some reason god decided to put our brains in a completely separate area with easily damaged wires and vertebrae connecting it to the rest of the body.
>>214436472damn, he's literally me
>>214436509I'm going to be let down by this thing, aren't I? It's not going to do anything cool, or it'll turn out to be like a flying bat or something that just camouflages as flora. Why the fuck do we even have 4 other species if we're not going to devote any time to them? Is this all just bullshit setup for a new movie or something? Because the show is more concerned about AI ethics
>>214436523>sir, should we move these to the stomach? it's safer>you idiot. Everybody know its safer. That's why they will aim to the belly first. Leave it in his head. Nobody expects that.>* kid fucking dies*
>>214436590The eye thing has been more of a villain than the xenomorph really.
>>214436121>>214436479>>214436568Shouldn't the lab have a panic button? The goddamn therapist has one in her office, so they've established safety protocols for their experiments. Humans today have this shit. Fire alarms, panic buttons, emergency stops in workshops, etc
>>214436590It will either spit acid or release gas like the other aliens
>>214436556>be megasmart female scientist、>hasnt spoken a single intelligent sentence in 6 episodesYeah it's disgusting
>>2144365905 species, 5 seasons. Damn genius.
>>214436556Even better:Reset ALL of the synths back to pre 9/11.Nothing they did in the tower has helped them whatsoever.
>>214436619See if it were me I'd want it to be aggressively self-replicating. Like a super weed that can grow quickly when exposed to moisture. Spores, seeds that embed themselves into both soil and organic matter, that kind of thing
>>214436616>Shouldn't the lab have a panic button? The goddamn therapist has one in her office,Holy shit totally forgot about that. The show makes less and less sense everytime you examine it. I still cant get over the easily opened oversized vent conveniently the size of a human that leads directly to the exit.
>>214436571Cyborgs should be better than us. Why have a a single brain at all? spread them across the whole body for true decentralization.>>214436616>Shouldn't the lab have a panic button?I bet it had one but he was just not thinking about it in order to advance the plot.
>>214436646I'll call it: Plant 43
Whats up with the cyborg racism.
>Your sister has potential to invent faster than light travelI thought this was already invented in the Alien universe? Unless he means different kinds of it?
>>214436571If some predator is sneaking on your back and attacking where the vertebra are you'd be boned regardless if they were vital wiring or not. And besides the skull is a massive shield compared to the chest cavity, in some accidents people's brains will be turned to soup before it breaks.
>>214436667Synths are seen as lesser beings/tools so I guess the stigma is you've become less than a person/man by getting cybernetics. Which is fucking lame because wouldn't it be the exact opposite, a sign of status and cosmetics? It's also partial resentment that they will outlive us
>>214436667They're called Cyggers anon and they're coming to our planets, infiltrating our women and taking our jobs.
>>214436685That was fucking weird. Maybe he meant a different method of FTL travel
>>214436667in the future you either get to be JC Denton, Helios or Gunther Hermann.Everyone would pick JC given the choice.
>>214436685Is it specifically stated that they currently possess faster than light travel at this point in time? If they have powerful fusion torches like in The Expanse, they could cover at least a10 lightyears roundtrip in 65 years of cryosleep.But they never experience any time dilation effects so imma say they don't have faster than light technology yet.
>>214436667It's actually just veiled regular racism, they're just using the cyborg shit an excuse to belittle the nigger
Im enjoying the show and I'm glad it was made. If it's slop at least it's slop with personality.
>>214434233I notice in the movies they never seemed shocked about finding alien life like "holy shit an actual alien". it always seemed implied that its just another alien species they find. but we've not seen anything other than xenos in the movies. what are these other aliens theyr aware of? when was first contact? now on alien earth there's already a rule about quarantining "off world species" for 2 weeks.
>>214436143I think it probably would, but given the size of the facehuggers relative to the human digestive tract it's probably going to lay the chestburster in your large intestine which is probably survivable actually. Obviously you'd want to be stretched and pretty well lubed lest it just completely destroy your anus right off the bat, but otherwise yeah I don't really see how or why a hugger would make the distinction between otherwise completely viable orifices.
>>214436807In this episode they mentioned something about a certain protocol regarding safety when bringing aliens to Earth. So "first contact" must have been before 2120.But let's not forget that nothing about the technology is codexified like Star Trek's techno babble. Alien is essentially Flash Gordon. It doesn't matter how spaceships work.
>>214436807>now on alien earth there's already a rule about quarantining "off world species" for 2 weeks.I think it's a protocol that was made preemptively similar to exploring a new region or discovering an old bacterial sample. They travel space for resources and colonization, so it was inevitable. It's just basic forethought, which is ironic given the shit that has happened.What I want to know is WHERE the fuck they got not only xenomophs, but the 4 other species? These things certainly didn't come from the same native planet like one ecosystem. So did they find an Engineer science ship crashed, or was it an alien prison ship?
>>214436143>>214436825I'm going to say no because it appears they want incubation in the lungs due to the oxygen rich conditions
>>214436868And just because there's been previous contacts doesn't mean they were anything particularly interest or noteworthy.Could've been just alien rats or space otters for all we know.
>>214435236You think any of these characters will be back in season two? Maybe Yutani. But this is it for them I think.
>>214436893.....Or more likely just bacteria.
Apparently it's illegal to bring these species to Earth but once they're on Earth you need to keep them there and "quarantine" them.Quarantine them from what? Do you think a xenomorph will be any less invasive of a species in a month or two?And the Earth Gov representative doesn't give a shit and doesn't force them to take the monsters off planet.
>>214436893But that always bothered me as a kid when I saw alien for the first time. Why aren't these people not in awe of the alien lifeform? Why aren't they exploring the environment. Holy shit, they found an alien starships, why aren't they exploring the technology? Why are they only interested in money?Really made me question "the future" as a kid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXMu_YgGgPM
>>214436776Y'know what? Prometheus isn't canon to the show, fine.This show takes place the exact same year the Nostromo's fateful mission beginsThe Nostromo was an old, rusty, clapped out piece of shit that made boring routine ten-month ore runs from Earth to Zeta Reticuli, 39 light years away (a trip Dallas mentions that he has already made five times in his career when talking to Ripley about how he doesn't actually know Ash)>>214436807>>214436868>>214436873the beloved Aliens already ruined this shit with "bug hunts" and "Arcturians"
>>214436930If you wanted a realistic reaction then there is nobody with their head screwed on straight that would enter a literal Giger-esq space ship in the first place. It looks demonic and evil even before you step inside.
>>214434967That can't be AI
The sooner you guys accept that Alien Earth is its own thing the happier you'll be. Hawley clearly doesn't give a fuck about established canon.
>>214436807I would assume a well-known first contact was made sometime after the Prometheus era. The characters in that movie are appropriately stunned about finding alien life.I would assume the aliens humanity has found are simply fauna like mammals, reptilians. Nothing bipedal before the xenos. The crew of the Maginot have had years to comprehend them. >now on alien earth there's already a rule about quarantining "off world species" for 2 weeks.That's just smart for a world government to establish once space travel becomes a reality.
>>214436917Its illegal to bring them planetside but once the damage is done, either intentionally or not, there's a mandatory 6 week quarantine to evaluate the situation and safety concerns, not to mention transport. Asshole was exploiting safety concerns and appearing like he was looking out for everyone just to get as much data as possible before returning them to Waylon Utani
>>214436909that's what I was thinking about. maybe they just find simple bacterial life common around the galaxy, but then they find these eggs, and they are something different, so they are interested in studying them
>>214434967Where is this from? The shot of Morrow looks a bit sussy but everything else looks real
>>214436950>Earth to Zeta Reticuli, 39 light years awayNeat, I didn't know about that part of the lore. So they gotta have some kind FTL engine that just isn't fast enough to stay awake. Or maybe there is a medical reason of why they can't be concious during ftl flight.
>>214436930>why aren't they exploring the technologyI always took it that WY tried before but space jockey shit is so advanced and alien it's way out of field to do anything but collect and store or just make a note that 'here be alien shiet'Like if you handed uncontacted tribal people a CPU
>>214436995kek, but we're not tribal people. We're a greedy bunch of spacefaring monkeys. Even if we didn't understand it, we would collect every last bolt.
>>214436950>This show takes place the exact same year the Nostromo's fateful mission beginsI kept thinking that this meant they were going to drop some awful member berry big reference in the finale, like Ian Holm in RomulusBut then I saw Noah Hawley say thisThe motherfucker literally doesn't know the timeline of the show that he's the main writer of
>>214437061last minutes of the season finale somebody goes through the crew manifest and discovers that the Maginot's cat and Jonesy were siblings.>eye of the tiger starts playing>fade to black
>>214437034>>214436995I do buy this premise because Engineer technology doesn't even look like technologyLike what is this nigga's "spacesuit" how does it work
>>214436950>39 light years awayhow did they get there in 10 months?
>>214435933>most famous movie in the franchise is about formal military getting shrekt by giant bugsearth would have the same problem. they aren't going to know what they're dealing with until its too late. future dystopian hive cities absolutely packed with hosts
>>214437117very carefully, lightyear by lightyear
>>214436352they're literally children ffs, children are goddamn retarded
>>214435730>People really want the show to blow its load in the first season, huh>Please pay the subscription sir, it will get better in 3 yearsThat's the point of it. If I'm not watching alien earth invasion, I'm not watching. Simple as
>>214437117SF writers just can't measure stuff.
>>214435858Have you ever consider doing something else?
>>214437145Children are more so naive and can act dumb because of their lack of real life experience, but they can also be pretty clever at times.What they also don't lack is self preservation instincts or fear, if a kid was tasked with feeding a wasp hive they sure as fuck wouldnt enter the chamber.
>>214436886That makes sense if we assume that huggers are capable of making such distinctions. If they're basically just blind heat-seekers looking for wet holes then it might not be sophisticated enough to know the difference. I'm trying to figure out what they'd be attracted to that would lead them to the mouth instead of the ass. It can't be carbon dioxide because we've seen guys in suits get got. Having eyes wouldn't necessarily be an explanation either because that would require that the hugger be able to look at an unknown creature and immediately determine its mouth from its anus from inside its egg. It must impregnate other creatures on its "home" world for reproduction and as far as we know there is no reason to believe that xenomorphs evolved to use humans specifically as hosts. Unless there's a better explanation I'm going with the huggers just being dumb heat-seekers that would absolutely go for an anus if it were more readily available than a mouth.
>>214436571brain and spinal cord are the best protected parts of your body. anatomical configuration result of natural selection. it succeeded because it works. now we are a billion times more lethal than any other predator and are poised to move to the stars
>>214436049Look at that ass, holy chopsticks
>>214437209They've already established that even in the egg/larva stage, xenomorphs fucking talk. The parasite facehugger is a symbiotic creature that works on their will
Anyone else a little disappointed by the fly? It was wet and digusting but more in a slimy worm way. I guess I kinda expected some kind of nimble attack wasp and not fat pickle
>>214436950I assumed Arcturians just referred to a particular colonial culture of humans. Like Thai pussy, or Thai ladyboy pussy, both have their charmsthere was no "canon" at the time however, and hoping for coherent canon from this series is ridiculous from the start
>>214437204emergency pediatrician here, you could not be more wrong
>>214437242It's scary in a ecosystem sense, depending on how fast they breed and how big their colonies get. If they eat raw minerals, then there's no telling how destructive they are without natural predators to keep them in check. I'm assuming their acid is more than just for eating, but a defense mechanism to other species. If they're anything like basic insects then they're highly territorial too
>>214434355their minds werent actually transferred, they were just copied by an ai and killed in the process
>>214437262Guess I'll admit defeat then. You've had 12 year olds who purposefully walked into wasp hives?
>>214437273Did they actually eat the robot kid? It seemed to me they tried but they were expecting real flesh and stopped when they realized it's not the real thing. But if they have evolved to find species with warm flesh, why would they go after the robot kid with zero human aura? Like mosquitos will eat my gf but show zero interest in me.
>>214437330There was some metal and electronics in it's food tray.
>>214437316neat
>>214437355Oh crap, you're right. I forgot about that shot. Which completely debunks my flesh eatinng theory kek
>>214437330They ate their fill and left. Even tested him by running their tube mouth over his arm to see if he was edible too
>>214437316nice
On that tray note did they have a xenomorph food tray of just figured out it doesnt need to eat?
>>214437330no idea til the show explains it next weekmy theory, maybe they do eat metal or whatever he's made of, the acid is probably like spiders breaking down their food it looked like to me, the feeding tray he was bringing to them looked like it had a random assortment of metal junk on, as if they were putting random things to see what it eats
>>214436807bugs and space trannies
>>214437121The Marines go into the worst possible situation and make multiple terrible mistakes and by the end still run up over 10:1 KDRThe initial force would have wiped out the whole hive if they were allowed to shoot so the movie had to invent an entire new reason you can't shoot them like the acid blood on the hull in the first oneAnd then the third one is in a contrived penal colony where nothing so much as resembling a weapon even existsThese movies have to stretch very far to give the xeno plot armor because "big screeching thing that runs at and kills people" has not been an existential threat to humans as a species since we first sharpened a rock no matter how many assholes occasionally get eaten by bears or sharks
>>214437302that isn't the 50th stupidest thing I've seen them do
>>214437242Yes, it was lame and gay. My encounter with a fly IRL was worse than this shit. I remember coming home once and seeing a giant ass fat fly flying near my kitchen's window. I decided to smack it. I did, it fell. Then it started moving weirdly and twitch all over. Then dozens and dozens of small maggots started crawling out of its belly all over my windowsill. It was fucking disgusting.This fly in Alien Earth was shit and lame. Just like this entire episode and show, really.
>>214436484Is that bad direction or bad writing?
>>214434563I just took it to mean better FTL. Without FTL, astronomically speaking, you can't go anywhere.
>>214437452>can't use rifles because it might blow the reactor>tell them they can't use rifles but don't explain whyThis always bothered me.
>>214437117Motherfucker reminds me of Billy Idol.
>>214436958They had no choice. They would've been forfeited all shares.
>>214437461A simple "yeah I have" would've sufficed but ok.
>>214434679It struck me more that the constantly monitored super new technology hybrids can get completely fucked up without a bunch of alarms going off or something.
>>214437452>xenos need several advantages to remain a threat>predators can remain a threat even after having been fully immobilizedPerhaps the solution is to do as with the queen and make them smarter boys
>mindwipe happens>literally next scene is Wendy asking why her mind was wipedI hate how aggressively TikTokified this show is, for idiots.
What if the sheep requests to talk to Kavalier? And Kavalier is all OMG A SMARTER BEING THAN ME WANTS TO TALK TO ME and then he gets fucking rekt, the sheep swims to the mainland it turns out the eye aliens were the aliens mentioned in the title?
>>214435625>The Earth really cant have a massive outbreak without it breaking canon.Then what's the fucking point of making story on Earth? Literally just fix Riddley's bullshit writting and continue with space exploration
>>214436647Why didn't the fly just spray the vent anyway? There are gaps, AND it melts metal.
>>214437595lool. It never crossed the mind of the scientist that they would talk about past experiences.Anyway, I think the only guy who likes/tolerates the CEO is the bald fag. Everyone else hates the manchild and the whole island is set to go to shit.
>>214437629Made out of the same special anti-fly metal their enclosure is made of
>>214434233Im about to watch the episode bros, Im very excited. Be back in a hour
>>214437595I just don't get how scientist can be so retarded about it. I've said before, all she had to do was say some kind of lie like "oh wow your brains are so advanced its like she just blocked all that trauma." Then again she just stood there and said "I'll do it." when her boss fired and threatened to shoot her husband.
>>214437630You forgot Curly being approximately fifteen seconds from getting molested by him at all times.
>>214437595Why didn't they tell the other kids not to mention the past couple of days to Nibs for medical reasons? What were they expecting?
>>214437665it was kino as usual and nitpicking it apart is part of the fun.
>>214436049Running with those causes accidents
>>214437714The fact that Romulus had none of these guys is a travesty
>>214434233I'll never watch this, it's more brown culture theft. More useless marketing bots. What will you bots shill next? I'll tell ya', I sure don't give a shit.
>>214437696>Why don't bad writers write gooder?Listen little lady you need to lower your expectations and stop thinking while you watch your television.
>>214437729Do they work without APOLLO?
Beyond the dumb story, this is poorly written on a structural level. I don't know why Hawley let this go out with his name all over it.
Did Wendy alien already grew up to full size?
>>214437770yes
>>214434371Then you'd just compare it to Predator2
>>214437770Marcy. Her name is Marcy. Wendyfags are part of the problem.
>>214437624It only occurred to me this week - why isn't this just set AFTER the (original) Ripley movies? I couldn't come up with any reasons.
>>214437785Felt like it took longer compared to the movies>>214437797Hermit, please
>>214437846All that was different to the movies was we briefly saw the inbetween xeno size. Seemed like the usual growth to me.
>>214437145>they're literally children ffs, children are goddamn retardedHes literally been working alongside kirsh the entire time and knows very well these are extremely dangerous creatures. Hes not a fucking random kid. He goes maximum retard for literally no reason.
>>214434233
I liked that Eyegore did the Black Philip, but it does not prove he helped Black Science Mom die. It's entirely possible he wanted to protect Black Science Mom, while wanting to also kill Black Science Robot.
>>214437242>Anyone else a little disappointed by the fly?>Alien organism>Its a fly>Thats spits acid>And eats metalDid a 5 year old kid come up with this?
>>214435730Oh no you got me all wrong, I'll never watch this pos.
>>214437880ftfm
>The people so quick to mash the "bad/lazy writing" button can't see the forest for the trees....
>>214437897That's just the next level of something bugs already do. They hawk tuah acid into their prey and drink the slop.
The kid brain shit is such an excellent and fun idea.
>>214434243Welcome to current year TV. Basically they take an existing IP and attach it to some already written godawful shit and pray someobody watches. This is literaly how the entertainment industry works in 2025.
>>214437846>Hermit, pleasekek
>>214437145Not that retarded tho. They are acting like 5-7 year old kids. 10-12 yo kids act way more matured. Shouldnt they have mental maturity equal to stranger things kids at least?
