>children's brains put in synth bodies>first time Xenos are canonically on Earth>Yutani vs Prodigy corporate drama>Morrow's entire story>Kirsch knows more than he's letting on>eyeballNone of it mattered, nothing matters except Noah Hawley making a quirky chungus slapstick hecking dark dramedy like the complete hack he is.
I watched the first 2 episodes in 4k on my TV and payed attentionThen I just downloaded the 1080p and watched it in the background on my ipad
>>214849258pretty much. ocellus not getting into a human and speaking will go down in history as one of the worst decisions of all time. there won't be a 2nd season.
>>214849276kek, I downloaded the first two in 1080p (you don't need more, because your eyes can't spot the difference), but everything after that I streamed on shitty sites with questionable 720p at best.
My tier list>S : Morrow>A : Atom>B : Rajesh and the black kid>Z : all the rest
>>214849258>>first time Xenos are canonically on Earthdefine canon
>>214849180can't wait for season 2 >yutani lands her army on the island and acts tough>/ourgirl/ wendy does a little click and whistle>invincible xenomorphs kill the whole army>waves her hand once and all the gunships fall out of the air>turns to yutani>closeup>"you were saying?"KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>214850283nah, yutani won't go down that easily since she's also a woman AND a poc
>>214850177Got The Assignment Tier: Morrow, Black KidIntriguing Tier: Nibs, Kirsh 10% of the timeRedeemed Tier: ArunDull Tier: The other kids, Kirsh 90% of the timeWhy Are You Here Tier: JoeViscerally Upsetting for No Payoff Tier: Kavalier Klay
>>214850398don't worry, only white men will die on camera.after wendy's line yutani will look around, and with a coy smile will say, "let's talk business..."
worst show ever made award
>>214849180I mean the show was shit as soon as they casted Timothy Olyphant as anything other than a gunslinger and bleached his hair.
>>214850570You're my enemy, Timothy Olyphant as the new Sting was the only good part of the show
Absolute fucking garbage. I hope everyoneinvolved dies.
>>214850198What ever the owners of the IP decide.
>>214850198According to a franchise consultant at FOX, only the movies, short films and the Isolation videogame were considered hard canonhttps://roguereviewer.wordpress.com/2020/10/12/defining-canon-in-an-alien-world/This was pre-buyout though, now that Disney owns it who knows what the fuck they consider canon
>>214849319appropriate
>man this guy is cool>they're definitely building up to something>oh shit what's the twist gonna be>wait there's still time>almost there almost there>....>oh
>>214851218so much was promised.
>>214851218He wasn't cool at all. He was extremely gay like everything else in the show.
simple as>>214849180
>>214851294You're being facetious.
>>214846891simple as
>>214851270disgusting ukranian whore
>>214851793shalom
smee and slightly were the only good synths because they actually had an arc and an endearing friendship dynamic. nibs and wendy were straight up awful and tootles and curly were non-characters.
The only explanation I can think of for this show is that it was written by a bunch of monkeys that were born retarded, sustained brain damage and are addicted to crack.
>>214849180The writers really seemed to think Wendy was vaguely likeable given the entire final episode was her lecturing everyone and monologuing about her self-discovery. What an insult to the franchise and that's accepting AVP 2.
>>214849258It's absolutely not canon. It doesn't even make the slightest effort to fit into Alien or Prometheus
>>214851827ukranians are jews you ignorant cunt
>>214849258this. they open all these arcs but didnt do shit with it. each of these items could have been the anchor of a whole season if done correctly.the only arc with actual development is black kid and indian kid. well written and the actors really nailed being kids-in-adult-bodies.
>>214852080>actors really nailed being kids-in-adult-bodies.Except who the fuck asked for that and why is it in my Aliens show?
>>214852080The jeet had a story but it wasn't really an arc. There was no development.
>>214851916>>214851955imo the original story was not written for the alien franchise.
>>214849180Haven´t watched this (nor intend to), just felt like pointing out that scrawny looking thing couldn´t possibly overpower anyone ever. Honestly selling that group as dangerous is probably tougher than selling the actual CGI creatures. Did it work? Or it ended up as one of those things you just don´t buy?
>>214852222She's a robot retard
>>214852169Yes, the studio execs forced it. It still would have been a hilariously bad show outside of the Alien franchise, but I guess it's made more money this way.
>>214849180>not creating a directive that prevents your robots from harming their creatoreven OCP was more intelligent than this "child genius"
>>214852374Noah Hawley and the others writers in this show have the collective IQ of a rock. Therefore, they are incapable of creating intelligent characters.
>>214852346Why does that robot punch like a girl instead of a super strong machine with hydraulic systems? They could have had her pick the guy up and slam him as a show of her strength but instead they made it look like she's just another heckin strong independent woman who is strong enough to take men down with her childish woman punches.
>>214852536Because it's a bad show
>>214852536>childish woman punches.She literally has the mind of a child so
>>214852374I WORK FOR DICK JONES!!
>>214852632>excuses any criticism of the show with this
One, two, three, four, five against oneFive, five, five against oneSaid one, two, three, four, five against oneFive, five, five, five, five against oneTORTURE FROM YOU TO MEEEEEE
He should quit his job and do spotify playlists
>>214852667Truly the most genius move Hawley pulled when it comes to this show
>>214849226
>>214851089Noah Hawley says he's ignoring Prometheus/Covenant for his own story and doesn't consider the xenomorph's origins shown in those as canon, but at the same time he's a dumbass who barely understands when his own show takes place in the timeline.
>>214853497Holy kek! 10/10 work anon, very cool. >that little stalk >mfw
>>214849180every webm of this show i've seen on this board demonstrates the absolute dogshit zoomer cinematography that disqualifies it from any intention of seeing it. how are people watching this junk?
>>214853834On the iPad while I do something else
>>214853834The first few episodes showed promise of something interesting going on. After it got pants on head retarded people watched to shit on it or in the faint hope it would deliver.Then once the last episode came and it didn't deliver jackshit not even the most cocksucking of redditors had any faith in Hawley's lobotomized brain.So in short via cope or as a 'watching a trainwreck in slow motion' way
>>214853697Yes it's so much better when the Alien was just picked up from some planet filled with other exciting aliens like eyeball octopus and man eating plant. A planet that is either just a few years away or light years depending on whether the episode remembered FTL or not.
>>214849180Damn the drop off after eps 1 and 2 is rough
>>214853732Why do they laugh at her here? What was funny that she knew how to operate the loader?
>>214852374This is one of the most retarded thing I've seen in this show. Fucking Asimov's laws for fuck sake.
>>214854164cuz women are not good at that kind of stuff
so how does this all endweiland-yutani nukes the island?
Wendeesi, mother of Aliens, first of her name
>>214854377WY will now take the alien back to their reasonably sealed and isolated facility with some minor budget preserving wider leak and essentially the entire first season will be pointless.
just finished the last episode. overall I liked the season but the last episode was terribleWendy has become a huge Mary Sue, her freezing the butler was some Neo shitI don't remember xenomorphs being bulletproofthe scientist guy the eyeball resurrected has been dead for like a day, his brained should have been damaged beyond repair at this pointthe hybrids turned on the human very quickly and without deliberationalso some direction choices where very funny, for example the slow-mo when Wendy and her brother walk out to confront boy
>>214854377The show needs to get off the islandIt was fine as a start but the scope is way too small
>>214851354But the class warfare element was extremely mild. Broadcast television could be more radical than this show. In actuality, it wasn't class warfare at all. It was generational warfare. All the adults were either on the same side or an equal opposite, and all the protagonists were "children". Either this show was anal vored in production, or Hawley's brain has been smashed to pieces.
>>214854842isnt it kind of game over if the xeno gets off the island?
>>214854878It's canon breaking for sure but I think the show would be better off if it just disregards the established canon and does its own thing. It practically has already.,
>>214849180Dunno why people give a fuck about muh lore and muh plot holes. There were plotholes from the second film. How could they build a colony on LV242 and not know about the distress signal? Well, 40 years later we get that answer in the videogame Alien Isolation.The whole franchise is lame except the first film. Get over it dumbasses.
>>214853996>Kirsh saying Wendy might invent FTL travel>but the show takes place a year before Alien>and Alien says it the moon they found the eggs on is 39 light years away, yet would take them 10 months to get back to Earth, which implies some form of FTLNot to mention how Aliens says Ripley being in cryosleep for 50 years in space is an insane anomaly, but the Marginot says they were sent on a 65 year mission.
Kirsch and Morrow carry this show fr fr
Can I get a breakdown of the series? Not gonna bother watching but I'm curious about how much of a mess it is
>>214855112>Nothing really happens>Xeno gets sidelined by another Alien which also amounts to nothing somehow
>>214855112>guy wrote a cyberpunk/Bladerunner story about uploaded consciousness into synthetic bodies and other android stuff>they told him he can make it if he makes it into an Alien show instead>so he haphazardly shoves aliens into it, then has his hybrid synth mc turn the xenomorph into a attack pupper
>>21485500965 years total, but two rotating teams that spend most of it freezie-popped until they need to run diagnostics. They probably spent two years conscious.
>>214854164they are laughing because they are charmed and surprised more by her manner than her ability.the initiative she shows coming up to ask as well as the gentle sass and attitude of real competence.it's less "whoa a girl running a power loader" and more "damn ripley's good people"
Here's your xenomorph bro
>>214855764I can't get over the roach chest
>>214855764>>214855795no wonder it was badly acted
>>214854866Agreed. It's more species warfare than anything else. >>214853804
>>214853497Wheat.
>>214855795At least Elliot Page got a hot meal out of it
>>214849180Nibs needs to be decommissioned
>That's like an onion asking, "How do I take care of a star?"Show is shit but I love Olyphant in this. His delivery of this particular line is so fucking good.
>>214853497
>>214850283So far the showrunner has been quiet about a potential 2nd season
>>214856829https://ew.com/alien-earth-season-2-talks-noah-hawley-season-1-cliffhanger-11815276https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/alien-earth-finale-wendy-xenomorph-eyeball-season-2-1236526914/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/alien-earth-finale-noah-hawley-season-2-interview-1236377913/
>>214850283>Wendy absorbs all of Yutani's memories by simply touching her head>Wendy screams with a high pitched sound and blows up Yutani on the spot>Wendy morphs herself into Yutani using technomancy and takes over Weyland-Yutani
>>214856595I stand amazed, even Olyphant couldn't carry. He tried, but even he wasn't up to the task.
>>214856829>>214857128>show cost $250 million+>doesn't have season 2 already planned outhow?
>>214849180One dumb thing that bothers me about the show is how the Weyland Yutani ship was carrying nothing but parasites and especially dumb creatures like ticks. Wouldn't the creatures that these parasites parasitize be way more valuable in every way?
>>214855112Starts off feeling like a genuine alien story where Prodigy steals Weyland-Yutani's alien specimens, then it shifts focus to boring drama regarding the hybrids (robots with children's consciousness). MC Wendy starts off as an okay character, then becomes extremely homicidal over perceived injustices and gains the ability to control aliens and all technology, making her ridiculously powerful. Series ends with her killing most of the people on the island and taking over operations.
>>214857128>I wouldn’t read too much into that. I don’t have a destination in mindKek I want all those hours back
>>214857842Funnily enough the one thing they chose to focus on after eps 1 and 2 was the most boring thing about the show (children-robots). Personally I was hoping for more Weyland-Yutani vs Prodigy corporate drama/espionage but that barely gets any attention.
>>214855781His reasoning for it is just fucking stupiddoesn't like the human-like ribcage it always had, like he doesn't understand that its on purpose to show the Xenomorph can inherit physical traits similar to its host?dumb fuck thinking he can do better than Giger himself.
