How did all the alien eggs end up on the derelict ship? Can't have been an Alien Queen, since that is a creation of Cameron and thus, non-canon.
>>216498234Even when I first saw the movie in 2000, I always assumed the xenomorphs were weapons. Not the "infinite evolving black goo" type shit that we got with later movies, but more of a "bio-engineered to fuck shit up" weapons that you drop on some unlucky fucker's planet.
>>216498234It's weird how I'm pretty sure I've seen all these movies yet all I can remember is an alien running around corridors and vents. Are... Are these movies even good? I have no idea.
>>216498234The delerict ship was actually a carrier, transporting the eggs in some sort of cryo sleep (hence the blue field covering them). The xenos were bio weapons manufactured for war. Watch the old official alien docs, It's mentioned in one of those
>>216498313The first movie is a masterpiece of sci-fi horror. The ONLY bad part is the jumpcut on Ash, from plastic head to Ian Holm in the same shot. Looks absolutely terrible and Ridley Scott still defends the edit, to this day
>>216498308>>216498382They're not bioweapons, dumbasses. The derelict was just a supply truck carrying animal eggs to an alien restaurant. They do the same shit on Earth every day. Tons of dangerous animal babies are eaten, even parasites. Constantly begging for it to be le bioweapon instead for half a century just shows what uncreative morons you are.
>>216498234In my head canon it was a birthing chamber. Looking at your pic for the first time I noticed all the weird bio tec AC infrastructure and the fog layer down at the bottom suggested to me some weird fish or plant organism that reproduces by releasing its ova and spermatozoa on some fluid medium and having it congregate by gravity on a nursery sublayer of more suitable temp and chemical composition (like a bunch of mosquito larvae ready to hatch for next season) for gestation. All of these transpiring on a megalithic industrial scale using synthetic-organic methods.
>>216498452The Ash scene never bothered me despite being a cheap effect. The alien doing the jazz hands to Dallas felt much worse.
>>216498494Thanks retardanon, this will be my view of the entire franchise in the future.
>>216498308Well the movie plants that idea by telling you the company must want it for the weapons division.
>>216498594It doesn't plant that at all. The company wants it because it's the first evidence of alien life ever discovered. They know nothing about it, but want to be the first to profit from whatever it is they find there. That's all that's planted. Burke is the one that hears Ripley's story and thinks he could get a big payday obtaining it for weapons.
>>216498234I wish they kept the original Giger design for the Facehugger.
what is with this guy and his constant gripe over a shitty franchise and what is "canon"?
>>216498308Just realized the logo has a Y behind the W.
I really like the longer version of Brett's death scene. I wonder if the tail sting is like a scorpion's and it paralyzes its preyhttps://youtu.be/Q1eF_W_NSWk?si=HbCSUSQv18MUcHg3
>>216498234Cargo
>>216498661Imagine it hugs your ass instead haha
>>216498661Since chestbursters take on characteristics from their hosts, I wonder how one would look like if grown in a tube. The classic xeno is technically a humanoid version isn’t it? The facehugger must be it’s natural state
>>216498661Or the even earlier design
>>216498990I don't think the embryo can grow without a biological host. And yeah, the facehugger is technically the true alien form
These movies have existed for almost 80 years and people still don't know what the alien even is?
>>216499058I want to dissect these fuckers, but I know the mystique dies as soon as we understand them. I feel like someone created them tho, because how could these things evolve naturally if they kill everything on sight. They would eventually run out of hosts
>>216499214The Alien leaves some victims alive and turns them into eggs. It's in the Director's Cut
>>216498234WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE EXPLAINED WITH SHITTY SEQUELS?????
>>216498990They don't take on characteristics from the hosts though. That was only in one really terrible movie that was worse than Aliens.
>>216498990I wonder what would happen if a Facehugger was on a Xenomorph?
>>216499439it would get melted by acid saliva
>>216499439That's incest. Giger wouldn't be happy about that!
>>216499428The Alien in the original has human characteristics though. Like walking on two legs and has a human skull underneath it's dome carapice
>>216499428Kek so Requiem and Prometheus/Covenant aren’t canon? I wonder if they were bred by a different alien species to be attack dogs, like how we breed dogs. It’s either that, or they just come from a fucked up planet where you’d need to have a fast reproductive cycle to even survive as a species. It would probably be overpopulated with aliens that multiply even faster than they’re killed
>>216499428It was mentioned somewhere (either the commentary track or one of the docummentaries) that there was supposed to be a sexual attraction between Kane and Lambert originally, that's the reason the alien rape her to death. Of course, with the bazillion rewrites of the script a lot of shit got taken out, but the idea of the alien inheriting traits from the host was there from the beginning.
>>216499579dude hansi ruedi giger is swiss, he would have rejoiced probably before going back to being jelous of people that are better artists and richer than him
>>216498234>>216498308Gentlemen... after 15 years we finally have the answer to Prometheus.Oh Hudson I knew him well... well not really. This was the best prequel to Alien 1979 I have ever read and seen, /tv/. It was most excellent. The xenomorphs are here to protect us from the red cells, guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmjF6YKe0fkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFjTxnb2l04 https://heyzine.com/flip-book/6bd0377d5c.htmlhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1333SxUDcSkt4QJe3DOnFN7s82SBGrtBpD6jtXAPmfXQ/edit?tab=t.0If you're not a 4chan bot then you'll be able to leave a comment inside the document itself. If you're not a bot that is.
The Space Jockey is such a cool Alien design. Why did Scott have to ruin it with Prometheus?
If you want the real answer then you will consult the manual, the bible, the book, the art gallery:heyzine.com/flip-book/6bd0377d5c.htmldocs.google.com/document/d/1333SxUDcSkt4QJe3DOnFN7s82SBGrtBpD6jtXAPmfXQ/edit?tab=t.0Also you will randomly talk about the shitty Species quadrology.
>>216498234>Can't have been an Alien Queen, since that is a creation of Cameron and thus, non-canon.Holy shit, based?
>>216499982It's not ruined. There's no reason to take anything of Scott's seriously. Prometheus has no connection to Alien. You just ignore that slop like all Scott's idiocy.
>>216498234I put them there. Problem?
>>216498234>the engineers pick up the eggs>the engineers put them in the shipdo you need a 10 hour lore dump video explaining this basic idea
>>216500017>Species quadrology>quadrologyHoly fuck, they made 4 of those?
>>216498234https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtaFwE1O4qk
>>216500065What is the engineer's tax policy on fresh eggs?
>>216500067Yeah but the 3rd and 4th one are DVD-tier TV Show episode level of bad.
>>216498234Is the egg chamber even in the ship or was it underground? Seems like a giant chamber that's larger than the ship can handle but I'm not sure
I like to think that, after managing to develop a xenomorph queen, David reached his body's lifespan but still managed to send his AI to earth, hacking the Weyland-Yutani main net and becoming MU/TH/UR, that's why the latter and some androids are so hellbent in "recovering" specimens.
>>216498234Let's consult the Alien RPGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5QFYNOsNac
>>216498313>Are these movies even good?Alien is one of the best movies of all time.Aliens is good.The others are forgettable.
>>216500179It was meant to be a structure the derelict found and was exploring. Then the jockey got infected and set up a warning to stay away before dying
>>216498494>Tons of dangerous animal babies are eatenFew predators get eaten, apart from salmon and tuna. Which get transported while dead. Which animals are you thinking of about?
What the fuck was this thing all about
Obviously none of this thread up until now matters due to the bonus situation.
>>216500207He didn't create the queen or the xenomorph you stupid zoomie. The timeline does no match up and there were statues of xenos. David was studying how the goo reaches the final xenomorph form after each host.
>>216500362Obviously a Deacon. Obviously Engineers knew what goo + engineers results
>>216498234David brought them there, that's what the plan for the final prequel was before Disney acquired the IP.
>>216500312The xeno has an exoskeleton, a stinger, no eyes, an insatiable need to reproduce quickly and aggressively. All signs point to it being a space bug that lived in caves full of acid lakes or something, and lives among even more dangerous creatures that it needs to defend itself against. Probably other bigger alien bugs.
>>216500476It's not obviously anything, ya fucking retard. There isn't even anything called a deacon in the damn movies. There some little midget shitty knockoff version of the xenomorph that pops up and snarls oh so menacingly before never being seen again. Then went off to turn itself into a goddamn mountain. Wow, so scary! We should study this and engineer it!
>>216500476Oh lmao. There was so much lore dumping in Prometheus most of it flew over my head. I thought they were implying that it was a god or that life originated from an ancient xenomorph species or something
>>216500535I thought you were talking about IRL eating predators.
