The xenomorph fears the crab editionPrevious: >>214756542
>>2147641621st for ocellus survived
>>214764162What a FUCKING LETDOWN, absolute shitshow, one of the worst finales in tv history only topped by stuff like GoT S8
>>214764208this is the only good shot
Will this mean the end of Noah Hawley's hoax career?
>>214764237Still looks like a guy in a fucking suit
>>214764162>$250M>six years of development>for thisI just want the final David film. Is that too much to ask, fucking Disney suits?
>>214764250I fucking hope so. He was EXPOSED as a hack with the later Fargo seasons, but managed to survive somehow.
What a terrible dogshit garbage slop that was. Disney ruined yet another IP.
>>214764279>quarter of a billion>filmed in Thailand for cheapit's obviously a scam, someone pocketed at least 150 mil
>>214764162CRABCHADS, OUR TIME HAS COME AGAIN!
Who is a bigger Mary Sue: her or Rey from Star Wars?
>>214764303holy based
>>214764237Agreed. It's the second time they managed to make the xeno scary and menacing even for a second, the first being when it crawled toward Wendy's brother in ep. 2, just before getting hook'd>>214764316That is an interesting question. They have similar excuses - inherent genetic potential that is used to explain all of Ray's power and abilities vs. inherent android body potential with magical tech abilities. Wendy being a child and receiving 0 training or explanation how her body works yet becoming Neo has the edge I think.
>>214764297>What is money laundering?
>>214764162>>214764303>>214764321>humiliated by a fucking eye>humiliated by a crabXenobros we can't catch a break. Why does Hawley hate us?
>>214764316It's still Rey.Wendy's just retarded whilst inexplicably able to hack anything and everything.Rey Palpatine got everything handed to her on a silver platter without question.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW HELL NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW
So S2 predictions for the story? Hawley said he has ideas for 5 seasons, but I doubt that, I bet he is making shit up as he goes, if he gets renewed.`How are 5 kids gonna rule anything? It's pathetic. Yutani will wipe them out in minutes.
>>214764371>Rey Palpatine got everything handed to her on a silver platter without question.So did Wendy, lmao. She can inexplicably speak and tame xenos, she can hack into everything, open every lock, she is super fast, she is super strong, she is super smart, she girl bosses all the men on the show. And she is the only one who can do it, all the other synths can't for some reason. And it's never explained.
>>214764373Why is this edited like a Scooby Doo cartoon?Why did she just stand there comically looking into the camera?
>>214764373Poor Saharan ;(
>>214764384>So S2 predictions for the story?It gets cancelled like The Acolyte.
>>214764384>ideas for 5 seasonslmao
>>214764395because hawley is a retarded hack, unironically and he hired women as writers and directors alongside his own writing and directing
>>214764384Hopefully cancelled, enough xeno rape, I love Alien too much to be able to stomach more of this
>>214764384How is Yutani going to wipe them out? There hasn't been a single competent person or robot depicted in the show yet.
>>214764428>Kirsh>Morrow>YutaniAll competent>how She's bomb them and then send in a thousand soldiers. What's 1 xeno and a couple fragile kid bots gonna do?
>>214764393This show looks so fucking amatuer and pretentious.
>>214764321>>214764303The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its cunning.I can't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies.
>>214764438>she's bomb themSAAR actually that was my own post and I am sleepy as fuck, apologies for the typos
>>214764162Horrible filmmaking. the actor has moved between the shots. one angle has him face tilted, closed mouth, and no hair on forehead. other angle has face straight up, mouth open and hair on the forehead. this directing team is amateur
>>214764371Rey Palpatine deserves it a bit because of her heritage which is overwhelmingly strong with the force. Wendy is just some random girl.
>>214764321>>214764457I mean, crabs are pretty terrifying desu
yfw you realise the entire show could have happened on a space station and basically nothing would been different
>>214764438>>214764459kek
>>214764474Imagine facing some sort of giant enemy crab.
>>214764467there is film making term about consistency between scenes and there are people that check that, wounds, clothes, etc. to be the same between takes, anyone know the term name?>>214764483truth
>>214764483What happened to Vyvyan in the end? I'm not going to watch the show to find out
>>214764510Continuity, i think
>>214764474>>21476450Neal Asher has some terrifying, intelligent, giant crab aliens in the Polity series which are pretty fun. That one episode of Love, Death and Robots with the giant crab on the sailing ship was based on hin work afaik.
>>214764510Continuity. It's a serious crew position.
The fact that the plant scitters around on the walls pisses me off a lot more than it probably should. It's like they just admit that they have no idea how to write a monster that doesn't just run around staying out of sight of everyone before suddenly striking from a blindspot. It's roughly the same tactic used by the xeno, facehuggers, and eyeball.
>>214764521>>214764529ah yes, thank you
>>214764517The Young Ones vs Alien would have been kino.
>>214764510>there is film making term about consistency between scenes and there are people that check that, wounds, clothes, etc. to be the same between takes, anyone know the term name?scriptgirl or script secretarythere must be some gender neutral term now tho
>>214764517Exactly the same as Kavalier, Kirsh and Morrow: sitting in a cell while Wendy, standing on front her hybrid army, says "We rule now".
>>214764536It would take serious imagination to make a relatively immobile plant threatening. It could be done though. Maybe keep having people underestimate it.
>>214764550kek, scriptperson
No but seriously, why the fuck would an elevator be able to self-destruct?
any webbum of the plant finally eating someone?
>>214764438Kirsh and Morrow both ended up tied by retarded robot children. Yutani crewed her spaceship with literal retards.
>>214764562this guy asks the right questions
Xenos just being subservient to her has to be the single most retarded thing that has ever happened in the IP, ever. That and her hackerwoman powers.
We're reaching levels of Mary Sue that shouldn't even be possible
>>214764563
>>214764577There was a leaked script shared here about 5 years ago hinting at a female MC that would befriend + tame a xemomorph against the company. Lo and behold, here we are.
>>214764550Best Boy -> Best PersonKey Grip -> Key Grxp
>>214764162They couldn't even be arsed to tell a complete story this season and instead had to left in a cliffhanger as sequelbait. What a garbage fucking show.
>>214764162That xeno suit looks like something a cosplayer put together why the fuck does it have hands? You can clearly tell it's some guy walking about in an awful suit who actually watches this slop you need to neck yourself because your life is clearly of no value if you have time to waste watching this garbage
>>214764577The hackerwoman powers are a lot easier to believe than the xeno chirping.
>>214764577second xeno wasn't from her brother's lung and she didn't coo to it, so why THE FUCK does it listen to her?
wendy being able to mind control all tech was such a terrible ideaits all so boring
>>214764591
>>214764615I thought that mini-me alien was just the younger version of the lung-bred xeno. That was supposed to be a different critter the whole time?
Alien is now a franchise targeting a teen audience.
>>214764615It's listening to the bigger xeno.
I would like to remind everyone that the early reviewers said the show starts slow, but builds to previously unseen gore and action in the last 2 or 3 episodes. Some reviewers had to put their food down while watching with one guy stating he could not eat for the the entire day after watching it.You don;t hate these shills enough.
What's the point of giving synthetics a fuzzy moustache?
>>214764633It's the one that burst out of the nice guy doctor's chest.
>>214764633how do you think it came into existence? magic? obviously they used some redshirt and hugged him.
Why is every new entry in this franchise more embarrassing than the last?
>>214764639Most of these mouseshills are either brown or botted anyway.
>>214764591why didn't he just shoot?
>>214764639Paid shill reviewers all deserve to be swinging from lamp posts.
>>214764639kek
So.. just to be clear... Fede won, right?Fede > Hawley???
>>214764663Alien should've been nothing more than a one shot, but it suffered the same fate Friday The 13th and every other horror franchise.
>>214764689Didn't Fede get fired from directing the Romulus sequel?
>>214764689yupfede dabbed on hawley and scott
>>214764562I'll defend the show for a change and say that I don't think it was ever going to self-destruct. I think the implication was that Wendy was just bullshitting to freak them out, and they bought it because they're ignorant jarheads. Though I don't know why the elevator would be equipped with a speaker and screen capable of displaying customized prompts, but that's FAR from the most egregiously unbelievable feature in the compound.
>>214764689obviously, the memberberries in Romulus are peak cinema compared to the trash we got in Erf
>>214764555Half life did it with Barnacles
>>214764706He says that was always the plan, you decide. He is still writing it though.
Apologize.
>>214764657All girls of european descent have itNot even a meme
>>214764706I think it was a scheduling issue,otherwise, he still wouldn't be the main producer on the next film as well
>>214764730We always loved it. First decent Alien film since Resurrection.
>>214764724Yeah you need it to propagate. It can't just be THE plant. There has to be a profusion of them.
>>214764689your webm is a hundred times better than anything in Erf and the xeno actually looks scary. even Cailee's inability to act doesn't detract from the scene that much.
>>214764162>Atom was actually an android the whole time!>Oops lol he has Wi-fi which no other android has ever had so Wendy can just shut him down with a thought>This credible threat to character safety is actually a nothingburger!WHO WRITES THIS GLORIFIED TEXTUAL KEKOLDRY!?
>>214764678He was waiting for the burbling to die down.
Reddit has nothing but good things to say about it, sounds like you chuds are wrong again.
>>214764639IGN gave the whole season a 9/10
>>214764349That's what scam is referring to in this context, you fucking moron.
>>214764689>>214764730At least ROMVLVS made the xeno actually intimidating and not just the "badass" pet of some crazy robot girl
>>214764730No need to, I liked it since day 1 and saw 3 times in the theater :^) Sauce - all the Romulus threads in the archive.
>>214764730I kneel fede
>>214764744Why wouldn't an android have a wi-fi connection? There's refrigerators with wi-fi.
>>214764730I apologize, we didn't realize how good we had it
>>214764730This POS is the reason why Disney is reinventing the franchise as a Young Adult IP now.
>>214764776Because no android is shown to have wi-fi and the only possible reference to it is in Alien Resurrection of all films.
>>214764739>Resurrection>decentlol
>>214764776No wireless internet in the Alien setting
>>214764790>cailee and monerkino
>>214764804>filtered by resurrection
>>214764797How would they be shown to have wifi? A sticker on their necks?
>>214764730it was an unoriginal film that didnt really add or do anything newhowever, it was fairly well-made, and i would take that a million times over something that tries to be different but sucks dick
>>214764812Because it didn't exist throughout most of the franchise's existence.
>>214764546Alien Bottom crossover. The aliens sneaks into their flat, Eddie hits it over the head with a frying pan and rik mayal kicks it in the balls. This goes on for 8 50 mins episodes. Still better than alien earth.
>>214764744ItsJj Abrams magic box retards shitLe epic twists awaitIt comes from the abortion that is Harry Potter Le magic find out le next chapter.I even called it episode 1The story structure is terrible lol
>>214764510Continuity coordinator
>>214764162why is this show filled with ugly people?
Remember when Kirsh was super interesting and the show made it seem like he had ulterior motives that would be revealed in the finale?
>>214764790chandler nepo baby btfo
>>214764874we can't have attractive people on screen anymore >>214764790>>214764832
>>214764881Yes :( Olyphant carried so hard.
>ocellus couldn't handle hermitRepeat, the terrifying EYE that went up against a xenomorph could not defeat Wendy's brotherHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA talk about character assassination
>>214764916>Kirsh, a state of the art android couldn't handle a SIXTY YEARS OUTDATED cyborgLol, lmao
>>214764751IGN are prostitutes.
>Wendy stuck in jail>its ok because the lock is eletronic and wifi connected so she can control it>Wendy getting faced by Atom>its ok because hes wifi connected so she can control himHawley you fucking turbo hack shes already superpowered to hell and back why do thisHave Boy open the cell because he thinks hes oh so won and get downed by his hubris, have Nibs tard strength it off since it was mentioned it wasnt meant for synths, have Wendy get the upper hand over Atom because shes a new model and thus smart enough to outwit him or out strength him. Do SOMETHING INTERESTING INSTEAD OF HER WAVING HER HAND AND SOLVING STUFF INSTANTLY.This such ass, I've never thought much of that Pixar story rule about coincidences that challenge the character being great but ones that get them out of trouble being terrible but A:E gave clear examples of why it sucks so much.
>>214764162>yeah, dont cut this good for nothing scene that makes it 10000% obvious we looking at a guy in a rubber suitwtf is wrong with these people, how and why is the untalented allowed to touch the entertainmetn industry?this is extremely low iq and comical levels of incompetence.
>>214764316Rey, not because the character is worse but because Wendy didn't literally humiliate Sigourney Weaver and Yaphet Kotto on camera.
>>214764751fuck these "people">>214764948>turbo hackkek
>>214764916thats all you need to defeat hyper intelligent xeno parasite
>>214764162I just watched the finale.Wow. It was bad. Like worse than I thought it would be, and I was expecting it to be pretty bad. Why the fuck did I invest in watching this show?
>>214764954she tamed the xenos after killing one single-handedly in a hand to hand combat, which is worse
>Literally 3 mins in>That old hippie comes face to face with Xeno>Xeno gets shot in the face and runs away>But the fucking soldiers rush in to help BEHIND where xeno was standingWtf is this absolute dogshit.
The strobe light towards the end was excessive
Now that the show is over, I would just like to say that whomever was in charge of the technology in the show should be shot.
>>214765014Kid mind and no combat experience btw.
Is it safe to say we've officially jumped the shark?
>show used music i like after every episode ended, during the credits>hated it every timehow did this happen, it always felt so out of place
>>214765024Get ready to rage, then, because the shithead is actually PROUD of the job he did and that makes it so much worse:>“When I was researching tablet technology from the era, our props master Morritz Heinlein brought me a load of things and he managed to find an original, working, black-and-white 4-inch screen Sony Watchman,” Nicholson told me. “It was basically a CRT tube that projects onto a diagonal screen, and you watch the reflection. We thought the aesthetic of it was great, but ‘what if we just made it into a tablet?’ So, we took the Walkman’s design language, made it into a big screen, and we gave it a thickness.”>Leaning into the Sony of it all gave Nicholson and his team even more ideas about how the tablets’ design could be reflected in other aspects of Prodigy’s technology. Because the Walkman’s screen was lenticular and became distorted when Nicholson pushed onto it, he thought it might be interesting if that kind of visual detail became part of the UI for more of Prodigy’s devices.https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/782939/alien-earth-andy-nicholson-interview
This is absolute bullshit writing lmaoDid a boomer write this??
>>214765046There were more episodes of Happy Days produced after the Fonz jumped the shark than before.
>>214765077No, a Gen-Xer
>>214765063>became distorted when Nicholson pushed onto itThis absolute retard got a priceless vintage miniaturized portable TV and PUSHED ONTO THE SCREEN!?
>>214764162This shit is pathetic. Why can’t they make anything alien related as good as the first movie.
>>214765063>I was researching tablet technology from the era>We thought the aesthetic of it was great, but ‘what if we just made it into a tablet?Nepo-jews are literally so retarded that they can't conceive of a UI technology that isn't an iPad
>>214765113top kek
>>214764162Who did the eyeball guy infect?
>>214765163the dead guy in the OP
>>214764316>Who is a bigger Mary Sue: her or Rey from Star Wars?Wendy by far. Its crazy how fast she went from cute and endearing to egregious insufferable mary sue.
>>214765063holy fuck literally any random retro tech YouTuber could do a better job at this no wonder fucking YouTube has 10,000x the audience of legacy TV
>>214764881Now that he have been broken in the sequel maybe they will copy the David angle.
>>214765163No Sperm Guy's body which had been left to rot and be eaten by animals on the tip of a random beach of the islandWhy didnt it go for one of the many, many fresh bodies on the facility which were far closer and with easier access requiring no search or stumbling on it randomly? Dunno
>>214765063Honestly the sets and tech design was possibly the only decent thing about this shit show.
You know, I've never seen anyone stupid enough to think that the Xenomorphs represent anything except for fear/bestial rage personified. But suddenly they are cute little pets like the game of thrones dragons.
>>214765182POV you're the nepobaby props director for Alien: Based and you've just been pulled into ANOTHER meeting for using a dot-matrix display driven by the Hitachi HD44780. (Price per fab would have made it impractical for a simple remote access system and, more egregiously, you're using super twisted nematic displays for a unidirectional viewport.)
Well this series was a letdown lads. RIP generals. See you all in 2028.
>>214765016that whole fucking scene was like a badly shot YouTube video. The cinematography, the pacing, the editing. Garbage.
>>214765141even when they're literally holding said technology in their hands.Just using a Watchman would have been more visually interesting
Holy shit. This money laundering scheme is off the rails but to able at the same time to deliver one of the most retarded and amateur pieces of crap ever is peak idiocy. Apart from the ridiculously bad craftsmanship that went into the whole film making process itself, like filming, lighting, cutting, direction and so forth. The writing.. omfg the writing. When it came to the end it see100% like it’s truly they brainfarting, wish fulfillment of a fat, green haired genZ moron. That while we the kids take the power back, that I can do everything mindset, this retarded lock of smirking power of every idiotic character. You can literally see this was cobbled together from the thoughts of a retard crying herself to sleep because another one of these MEN in charge told her she’s useless and a bullied her because she’s fat, dumb and yeah, a retard. God. This show is so bad I was personally offended by it because the big heads at Disney think so low of me as a customer
>>214765218You heard Wendy, xenomorphs are honest and don't lie, unlike filthy h*mans
>>214764689whoever wins we lose
>>214765251>"OK so it's the future, so they're all gonna use iPads.">"Actually, they want it to be based on '80s technology. Here's what displays looked like back then.">"Hmm, you're right. The iPads should look like this."$250 million
>>214765214The guns were really bad though
>>214764678because no one on this show has a brain
>>214765063>the Walkman’s screen was lenticular and became distorted when Nicholson pushed onto itTIE THIS MAN TO A MISSILE AND FIRE IT AT NOAH HAWLEY'S HOUSE HE IS READY
>NOW WE RULE!and then W-Y bombers just nuked the island, the end
>>214765024>>214765063I dont get. It looks like a hi res screen that doesnt distort though? Looks like nothing from the 80s.
>>214765364These people literally have no idea what a CRT or even an LCD panel was.
>>214765358Was Yutani herself supposed to be on one of the approaching airplanes or did they just show a reflection of her face for dramatic purposes?
>>214765259I know, this is an even more egregious case of laundering than severance
>>214764162Dayum... what happened to him?
this guy needs a raise, there are aliens running around murdering people, staff gets evacuated, hostile company is invading and he just keeps cleaning the mold
HUMANS BADCOSMIC HORROR INVASIVE PARASITIC BLACK RAPE MONSTERS GOOD
>>214765373>Most obvious digital distortion effectWow, just like the 80's!
>>214764689the black actor was so shitsuch a miscast, he just kept making those dumb faces
>>214764517He also was a robot that she hacked.
>theyre just misinderstoodWOW! POWERFUL!!!!!
>>214764964Wend literally used the force
>>214765460Essential worker, kneel.
Name one character in the show who fell off harder
>>214764373when she see that big xeno probe
>>214764393this nigga should've activated some trigger word in this scene to make all the hybrids shut down. what a shitshow of writing. literally no failsafe?
Holy shit this might be the worst tv AND movie media i have ever watched. Its mind boggling to think how this script got approved and given a real budget.8 fucking episodes of exposition dump mixed with someones youtube Alien parody.
>>214765585netflix literally turned videogame about a demon hunter into demons are oppressed story earlier this year
Boy K in prison scene>Turns out there was a failsafe>Makes all hybrids pause but still aware>Makes wendy snap all of their necks>Makes wendy snap her own neckW-Y coming in from two different perspectives of xeno (in the jungle) and oculus (on the beach)rate my fix
>>214765786I'd say it's on par with The Acolyte in how terrible it is in and of itself, and how much damage it did to the IP its attached to.
>>214765526On CRT’s sometimes a bad capacitor could cause this as lines drifted out of sync with each other.It did not, however, look like this. This looks like a Sony Vegas plugin.>>214765182>>214765220>>2147653518bitguy, LGR and Techmoan doing an Alien movie together would be the most kino shit ever, but we’d also need Technology Connections.
>>214765782You would think a fucking Off button is the first thing you install on any potentially dangerous piece of machinery.
>>214765836Technology Connectiona too
>>214765832The neck snapping is a bit much, I'd just have them unable to harm him. Have a scene where the psycho redhead tries to fuck him up but is stopped.
>>214765846And if not, then it should be a plot point Boy Kavalier doesn't want to cripple his children
>>214765024The fucking 1990’s PDA buttons lmao>>214765063Ah so THIS explains why the primary interaction mechanism seemed to be imprecisely smushing a big fuck you layer in front of the screen instead of pressing a fucking button.Holy shit, these writers are retarded.
>>214765846Wendy would hack it and we would be back at square one but with more time wasted on pointless shit
>>214765874pic related is how you do superpowered robots
>>214765892Wendy hacking anything like that was complete and utter bs. Complete control over any technology and any alien. The ultimate mary sue.
>>214765913Yeah, she's powerful but she's still just a machine at the end of the day. She doesn't unlock new powers on her skill tree like fucking Wendy does.
>>214765882This bothered me so much. I can buy a touch screen being POSSIBLE with the technology they’re using, and it would probably look like that, too, but it would be laughably imprecise. Imagine the Wii U times 1,000 AND it makes the screen look like shit. Absolutely no one would ever want to use it, especially when voice activation is a thing too.It speaks to such a lack of imagination among the writers to imaging that ANY tech must somehow build towards touch screens.
>"Guys we have these stun guns that can easily disable the hybrids and the aliens, let's use them">"No"
>>214765892Didn't stop them from wasting time on the Nibs mindwipe plot
>>214766049>They have a break room filled with armed guards just sitting around>Only bring them out when someone unimportant needs to die
>>214764591So its basically Barnacle from half life? Also IF ITS PLANT how the hell it moved THERE from its CAGE and HOW THE FUCK NO ONE OF THIS MORONS HAVE PERIFERAL VISION?
>>214765782The insanity is they showed they absolutely can do that (or similar)given Mr. No Sperm had Wendy's hearing shut off after she had her aneurysm.Why not do the same and shut them down fully or partially when Boy had them locked, keep some senses off for safety? They went through the trouble of making a custom lock for Morrows arm but had zero foresight on locking the synths which they know have tard strength and Wendy who can interact with electronics in funky ways.
>Hybrids are in the cage>BoyK is giving his speech >Wendy opens the cage and taunts BoyK to come in and talk to them inside>BoyK actually goes in radios his Synth butler to bring Wendy's brother>They come in and Wendy sees his brother got EYED.COM>Lashes out on BoyK but freezes>BoyK reveals they cannot harm himBrother with the Eye could have been soo interesting. Just have him speak and say>I am both your prother and more now or someshit like that so Wendy couldnt bring herself to kill her brother and turn on BoyK.
>>214766102Oh shit I forgot about that, which means the writers absolutely forgot about that too. Like the leech aliens, remember them?
>>214766105my nigga isaac got brutally murdered while wendy gets to play machine god
>>214766122YPIPO AIN’T BE SEASONIN’ THEY TICKS
>>214765182attack of the petscii robots is such a great game (for what is it)
>>214765520They honestly want to eat humans and her brother, that's why she likes them although she honestly killed one
>>214765585> Aliens> good> Orcs> good> Nationalistic germansLiterally demons, no trial, no human rights, just kill them.These people are demented.
>>214764162
>>214766162>Literally demons, no trial, no human rights, just kill them.>These people are demented.Same with Dr*mpf supporters and Republicans/Conservatives in general.
STRANGEEEE BREWWWWWWWW
>this cyborg's got a scary robot arm, how do we neutralise the threat it poses>Uuuhhhhm how about we put a big heavy bluegeon hammer on itAced it
>>214766142Oh, yeah, that game is awesome. I played the SNES port.
>>214766093More like a dollar store half life barnacle. Barnacles breed like roaches and have that tentacle thing which makes them an interesting threat you can try to resist if it doesnt crush your neck.Meanwhile plant has that gooey flower thing it uses for what again? It just waved it on peoples faces like it was going to do something interesting but then no. Also its design is hilariously dull.
>>214766215BOY GENIUS
>>214766208God I knew the show was gonna be shit when they put that at the beginning of every episode.
>>214764373Planters… We’re eating good.
>>214766093it's not a plant, it's an animal that disguises itself as a plant
>>214765063This was a Sony Vaio P from 2010. Did all the future techies suddenly become retarded?
>>214766207Reminder that Charlie is never coming back and Jimmy came back after 2 days.The moral of this story is that terrorism is the best/only way to dictate television content.
>>214766261My headcanon is that there was a point of divergence in the late ‘70s. The oil crisis never ended, so mankind poured resources into space flight instead of microelectronics.That absolutely does not excuse the HORRENDOUS tech design in this show, which seems to revel in its total ignorance of how tech works. They would not be using fucking big iPads what the fuck.
>>214766207Imagine how many human lives we could save with this money instead of making this garbage that everyone would forget after few months?
>>214766207Oww alien is a mommy now! And who cares that its yet another human dead for its larva. Its only humans who are disgusting!
>>214766226Also barnacle wasn't a plant and this shit is and they make a MOVING PLANT WITH PLANT MUSCLES! Last time i saw moving plant it was mushrooms in Last of Ass Tv. modern writers is literal retards.
>>214765220This guy's skin is unsettlingly smooth
>>214766207did they turn xeno into a wholesome chungus pet? what the fuck
>>214764525Lobster simulations > crabs of any size.t. book reader
>>214766359it's not a plant, retard
>>214766376Yes.
>>214766397holy fuck disney is desperate to sell mascot toys. should have just picked another cat like the og alien to sell merch. instead of the fucking xeno ximself
>>214766397Season 2 is when they give it a name and we see them all playing games with it
>>214766376\yeah because this writers used youtube to learn how to write characters that audience would emotionally attach to. >>214765585i remeber that joke in WWZ review where they joked that they added a stone a family of stones with female stone with pink paint and smaller stones as children and then they smash them.
>>214765913The way they balanced her being a real character with agency but also being completely inescapably bound by her programming was handled really well throughout the show.
>>214766393its a plant, retard
>>214766376the xeno is the new baby yodauwu
So was the eyeball alien the real Alien:Earth in the end like many were predicting?
>>214766472it's an animal that presents as plant
>>214766493lol that lil nigga did jackshit the whole episode.
>>214766376It's really fucking unbelieveable what this show is about. All they had to do was set up an upstart corporation that rose to heights because of their hubris and then glass them towards the finale, since 'Prodigy' is not part of the WY-relevance in the later timeline stories
>>214764162Imagine watching this shit. Couldn't be me.
>xeno gets beheaded by kid synth>xeno babies become kid synths pets>xeno freaks out and panics after little alien eye jumps on it>crab dabs on xenoAlien:Earth more like Alien:Humiliation Ritual
>>214764180THIS IS SO FUCKING DUMBHE'S DEAD, THERE'S NO WAY YOU JUST NEED A BRAIN TO MAKE IT WORK
>>214766102It wasn't shut off it was busted.
Golly what a waste of time and money.
even though we shit on season 1 with good reason.We're all gonna see season 2 right?
So fucking terrible.
>>214764562i think wendy was screwing with them.Thou if that was the elevator down to the biolab floor. it might make sense that was a doomsday self destuct. If containment failed. however this lab also has a pipe and a air vent which are big enough
>>214766733No
>>214766605Is everyone forgetting that Wendy killed that first xeno with the blade from a paper cutter?
>>214766748that's literally in the first line of the post you are replying to
>>214766743>ThouIf you're too stupid to write though use tho. Thou is an archaic pronoun for second person informal.
>>214764474crabs are the perfect organism, look up carcinization
>>214766770Yes but it doesn't mention the dumbness of the method. A fucking paper cutter.
>>214766332OY VEY WHERE IS THE TOUCH SCREENHOW WILL THEY USE IT WITHOUT A TOUCH SCREEN
>>214766742They really did blow their entire budget in ep 1,2 and 5 and by the last ep they had nothing left and couldnt even hire more people to play as guards huh
>>214766832What does that have to do with anything?
>>214766742This is bad comedy.
>>214766832It's called a guillotine and the blades are notoriously strong and sharp.
>>214766877Yeah, I've seen them hold up against acid that can melt through four decks of a spaceship
>>214766877Obviously if one was used to behead a creature with acid for blood.
>>214766742So every one of them is a killer now? Even the kids that cried when that retard chest bursted?
Why would an elevator have a self-destruct?
>>214766906Except for the one obsessed with being BK's favorite, she's literally done nothing all show.
>>214766923it didn't
>>214766877She also stabbed with a dull end
>that slow motion as the mary sue and her dumb pussy brother enter the scene>they used it completely unironically thinking it's coolYIKES
>Ep is titled The Real MonstersSo who was the real monsters? The crabs?
>no eyeball payoffone fucking job
>>214766938then then 15 minutes later it still didnt melt
>>214766953they show it in a way that Wendy and her lost kids is real monsters.
>>214766935OK, then how was Wendy able to turn a preprogrammed elevator display into an arbitrary text display to fake it?
>>214766940>Sir we have completely run out of budget and we cant do this epic finale fight scene>just have the xeno kill the soldiers off screen and flicker the lights on and off non stop >genius
Why were the lights flickering?
>>214766953the murder children
How can you make a whole season without a complete plot? It is like they think they are entitled to more seasons
>>214766956the eyeball is the normies' gateway to make em scream for a sequel season and Hawley, the faggot, knows itbut this story is so bad that I hope it gets killed
>>214767001wendy made them flicker for drama
>>214766953the faggots that put a bunch of children in the ground
>>214767012>A funny eyeball fella is all it takes nowGrim
>le epic canceled showwelcome to the club ae
>>214764162Why is the xenomorph scared of the crab?
>>214767068damn he doesnt shred the plants and trees either. guess hes terified of these too
*sigh*Somehow, pulse rifles simply do not work in this show.
>>214767047At least this one was good
>>214767094Alien is literally a dog now..
>>214767068it doesn't want to get pinched and who can blame it?
>>214766742>>214766940>>214767094lmao, I've only watched the first 2 episodes and my thoughts were "pretty good so far but I really hope the don't do the most generic and cliché story possible" aka:-the kids will catch the alien (or eggs) and bring it back to the genius base-genius will reveal that the wants to do evil shit with the aliens-kids will rebel-genius is actually just an evil man child who's going to have a meltdown at the end-kids won't kill the genius but will free the alien who will
I think it was entertaining enough on its own even if its canceled or we have to wait another 3 years or whatever.People act so spoiled for this shit its laughable. Its not like every studio is making fairly high budget breaking bad quality gorey sci fi shows left and right every 3 months. So its nice to see it exist even with all its meme moments.
Just finished watching the EP and it felt really mean spirited. The whole stuff about how the aliens are honest and everyone is greedy felt like it was written by one of those childfree people. And the scene where wendy was talking down to kavalier, she says his not a boy who never grew up but a forever-man felt like it was trying too hard to have a zinger line because he really just is immature
Anticlimactic ending. Felt like any other episode. I regret watching this show. Finale didn't even have any cringe and funny moments. It was just a boring nothingburger.
>>214767241>We're not getting a lot of shitty scifi shows with blood so I'm glad we have this oneOk, nice.
>>214767241It's complete garbage.
>>214767077Shut the fuck up, low iq nigger. Oops sorry for being redundant.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA[wheeze]HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>214767361>Wendy is a literal God nowWow, very cool
>Murders a bunch of innocent people who are trying to come up with a cure for all deceases and extend life>You are not good people >:( *alien screeches*Crazy how I liked her at the start but ended up being the worst character in the show.
Kirsh and Essie were never rude to kids but they still sacked them. "Shut up! You put 6 children in the ground" bitch you were all suffering and dying anyway.
Barnaclechads, we WON.
>>214767361is he like fully connected to wifi? and cant move without subscription or internet connection?
>>214767547Thats just how the boomer writers think technology works
>>214766742Boy felt like a total fraud. Genius he says but all he did was bitch, moan and treat everyone poorly. There were so many instances where simply talking and explaining the situation would defuse the kids attitude. Even a common social worker can do a better job than him at keeping those kids in check.
>alien getting shot in the head does nothing>decides not to kill these 3 soldiers for some reason, despite being shown to be able to kill dozens head on>does not kill the bitch for some reasonUnfathomable garbage.
>>214766742i dont get what exactly was his plan here
>>214767556https://www.topgear.com/car-news/opinion/opinion-vws-horsepower-subscription-great-consumersbut its not taht far from truth sadly
Smart enough to build a synth at age 6 and grow a trillion dollar empire. Have the most mediocre, half assed security with no back up plans and fail safes.
They really thought they could sell that shot in broad daylight.
>>214765182Leave the aliens to me
You know the ending is really bad when even Redditors are shitting on it and those fags love everything.
I kneel. I honestly thought this would be an ok show if I ignore the fact that it's set in the Alien universe. Towards the end it became clearer that wasn't the case, but I was optimistic that there might be an interesting twist in the end.Taking an existing billion dollar half a century old scifi IP and cherrypicking from it to create your own thing out of it should be a goldmine for storytelling. Yet all Noah Hawley managed to do was make the most cookie cutter young adult bullshit.What the hell was the point of the plant alien? To climb up to the ceiling and eat a security guard who's totally inconsequential to the story? I'm 100% convinced the entire show was written by ChatGPT.
>>214764384>5 seasonsYou 'might' get 1 more so make it count
>not a single main cast character died in the finale of the alien series
>>214764162I'm never going to watch this slop, so give me the bullet points and spoil it for me.
>>214764162>Xenos are like mother bears who take care of their young.What a retarded show. Aren't Xenomorphs supposed to be more like giant ants? And if they are the ants of their home planet, what are the anteaters of that planet, or their natural prey animals, or bigger and meaner but less numerous gigerish insects?
>>214766397So after turning Terminator into a wholesome chungus asexual dad who change diapers and shut the fuck up, they turn Alien into a wholesome chungus pet, who's gonna be next?
>>214764316None because they earned it all.
>>214767897>A fly has killed more important characters than the Xenomorph has
>>214767547SAAR PLS RENEW YOR SUPSCRIPSHUN TO MOVE SARR PLS RESPECTFUL DO THE NEEDFUL SARR FORFILL THE AMAZON GIFT CARD FOR BREATHE.And now for the rest of my non-shitpost reply.If they wanted to give the fans what they wanted the idea was simple.Starting off with the first two episodes - how did they fuck up a spacecraft crash so badly people are still arguing about it 8 weeks later? That fucker should have levelled buildings.The idea of the synth hybrids should have had *adult* hybrids alongside the children to watch the degradation of minds take place.The whole plot of boy kavalier should have had more buildup and more exposition before the final episode. I didn't even realise the cunt had ADHD until Kirsh said so. I thought he was just a regular, boring asshole.The xenos should have gotten loose and caused devastation on the island three episodes ago and Wendy/The Hybrids should have been the humans only tool to escape the situation - not this retarded "Xenos are pets" plotline.Because y'know - having to use literal kids as a means of saving adult lives would have had more impact, especially when those kids themselves aren't sure if their minds are degrading. Or if they're even minds to start with.Morrow/Yutani should have been a straight corpo warfare situation, not the bullshit of talking through the shitskin kid to try and get into the island.The last episode should have been the payoff of the island getting carpet bombed or nuked after a massive xeno outbreak and all the evidence being wiped away, maintaining the timeline.Instead we get this shit, which could only be redeemed with a clean slate wipe - or Wendy/Lost Boys/The brother escaping offworld and becoming the boogymen of the colonies with their handful of "tame(ish)" xenos.It's the Halo TV series all over again, if it even gets renewed for a second season I'll be really fucking surprised.
>>214767837Unfortunately the aliens were all MacGuffins for the human characters so they had to just stay put or always reset to lab conditions.
>>214767909Predator is next.
>>214767909Predator. He is going to take care of a disabled synth (minority) quirky woman.
>>214767594>could just fire at the alien directly>instead fires it at a tree, calculating the angle at which it will ricochet and hit it in the faceProdigy mercs are next level.
Xeno here, this show was really degrading*/****/*//***/*/''*:""-
>>214768082they should deport you to whatever shithole moon you came from
>>214765024>they could have been talking on something like this if this guy wasn't retarded
>>214766742Literally my exact fetish.
>>214767637He was checkmated the moment the door opened and he knew that. His only play was to talk them down.
The problem with the fucking alien costume
>>214767563>poorly socialized egotistical genius with peter pan syndrome lacks emotional intelligence to just calming explain the situationThere's a lot wrong with this show, but this was fine. Boy is supposed to be kind of retarded.
>>214766609Did you forget it was first shown in a dead half shredded cat. It only needs a body
>>214768462when you die it's not just your brain that dies, it's all your cells that makes everything function. without those cells you can't breathe. without those cells you can't move. without those cells your heart won't pump... your body is an amalgam of trillions of living organisms that depend on you getting oxygen.
>>214768289the head is in the neck too look how thick it is in the next moments where he cuddles the marines. The problem is that this fuckers filmed it in full view and with light so we can see every fucking costume detail. I said in previous threads that all they had to do make it rainy and foggy so we cant see all this shit.
>>214768508Why is any of that relevant when the eyeball just pilots you like a sock puppet.
>>214768541writers didnt think about details.
>>214768541if your cells are dead you can't breathe, if you can't breathe your cells don't get oxygen, if they don't get oxygen you can't move. you can't puppet dead cells.
>>214768576Worked fine for the dead cat it was squatting in.
>>214768576zombies?
>>214768576>caring about scientific accuracy after Resurrectionjust turn off your brain
>>214768621zombies have never made scientific sense either. water and food is what us function, without those we don't work. >>214768622yeah that's the answer
>>214764591She looks like a younger female Laurence Fishburne. But with stupid hair and lacking his charisma.
>>214764162He deserved better, but he had to die since he was too moral for an Alien story.
>>214768522>the head is in the neck tooIt doesn't even matter. What matter is how it looks in the shot. In many shots the alien face is exactly where a human face would be.
>>214768522>No shots of the xeno stalking the jungle with it only being visible from reflections from the lightning in the rain/tv/ could unironically make a better show.
>>214764180the ocellus might as well take control of a rock with a conveniently shaped socket for it to sit in, because that corpse is completely fucked beyond any repair. literally dead meat.yeah i get it it's scifi, and scifi is fantasy, so nothing matters bro XD just turn your brain off and smoke some weed dude lmao!! i love alien, look at this ocellus plushie i bought from temu!!!!! thanks for the gold kind stranger
Soooo...what now?
>>214768704did you have to shape the ass?
>>214768748See you in two years for 6 one hour episodes that will somehow not only be worse, but not close any plotlines whatsoever
>>214768718like in rambo first blood? when he defeats cops in the woods first time.
>>214768771No way this dumpster fire is getting a 2nd season
>>214768522In AVP they always had the alien at an angle to fake the anatomy and you only see its legs when it's in full CG.
this is supposed to be based on a horror movie and there is literally zero horror in it
>>214768748We watch the good movies as usual and shitpost in the Prometheus threads that one autist has been making for a decade
>>214768789as it should be if you dont have a crazy anatomy like that dude in Romulus. But directors in modern shit don't know things like this.
>>214768797>DisneyThe only genuinely unnerving moment was the xeno walking toward wendy's brother on all fours in ep. 2, just before the hook scene
>>214768289this is just that Dallas gets grabbed scene where EVERYONE and their mother said it was BAD and this writers just saw it and thought YES THATS WHAT WE WANT!
>the ''big'' twist is that his assistant was actually his synth father>nobody cared or asked about his parents for 8 episodes but now it suddenly matters and you are supposed to be shocked
>>214768748personally i am now a prometheus/covenant/ridley scott shill
>>214768797Because the audience knows the xeno is scary so why bother putting in the effort to make it scary
>>214768870kek
>>214768870i'm more of an alien isolation shill. i've never found the movies to be any kind of scary or good, they're just trashy sci-fi.
>>214768185Insane trivia drop here but people in Japan used these for phone sex all the time in the '80s. You could even call prostitute hotlines and have esex with a by-the-minute charge.
>>214768912You could also save the images to cassette or print them out and it wouldn't notify the other person, so a lot of Ojisans would have stockpiles of screencapped nudes.
>>214768912>japan obsession>>>/a/ is that way
>>214768941It's part of the setting OK smart tech consultants would have had Boy Retard taking a screen grab of Yutani's cleavage and printing it out on a thermal printer.
