>animal starts hissing at you>Leap closer>It literally opens its flaps like a cobra and starts hissing harder>"Shes mesmerized"Who wrote thisWouldn't it make more sense the snake monster acts at least remotely friendly, to fool him? It just makes this scientist guy seem superhumanly retarded
>>217364296These are not people. These are horror movie characters, they operate under a completely different logic
>>217364296And this is right after dude shit himself over a DEAD alien
Biologist, btwAccompanied by a geologist complaining about getting lost because "everything looks the same"
>>217364296This movie was shite.
>>217364387Lmao this movie sounds retarded
>>217364450It is, this was the redpill in knowing that Ridley Scott was always a fucking hack.
>>217364387>geologist complaining about getting lost because "everything looks the same"Surely that was a joke. Surely a Hollywood writer wouldn't be so stupid
>>217364296>>217364387Biologists act like this.>Accompanied by a geologist complaining about getting lost because "everything looks the same"Wait until learn geologists have no magical powers.
>>217364488>you are a geologist therefore you can't get lost in a dark labyrinth without a mapReddit logic.
This happened irl
>>217364296>does not state name of movie or show OP is a stupid faggot queer.
>>217364296All these modern alien movies have this "idiot plot" problem, which is why I can't stand watching them. They are basically comedy movies.
>>217364544>the only person who tried helping just made it worseThere's a lesson in there, somewhere, maybe
People jump into tiger enclosures and try to pet the big kitty cat. humans are absolutely retarded when they think something's cute.
/tv/ in other threads>lol scientists? more like goyentists! take the vaxx, change the climate, round the earth, factor the economics, six the million, eat the hormones, trans the genders!/tv/ in Alien threads>woah why are these scientists so dumb this is bad writing
>>217364544cute boys
>>217364575please go back to /pol/ and stay there
>>217364506>no magical powersThe geologist in Prometheus did have the power of mapping the caves with scanning drones, which he later forgot he did
>>217364296Which is worse? Prometheus or Alien Covenant? My vote is Covenant
>>217364296>FilenameAre you watching a movie on a phone?
>>217364611You go back. I'm not asking for a specific opinion, I'm asking for intellectual consistency.
>>217364657you're asking for different people with different opinions to all have the same opinion so you can make more hasty generalizations.
>>217364737>different people with different opinions to all have the same opinionYes.>so you can make more hasty generalizationsI only wish what is best for this website. One culture, one voice, one triumph.
>>217364571We all know at least 3 people who try helping but always make it worse
>>217364296All of these scenes make much more sense if you read the original script.Read the Spaits draft.The og script was 100% tied into Alien (1979) and everyone's decisions were logical.There was no black goo. Every creature was facehuggers, xenos, plus a couple of newish slightly different one.The original "snake" was a chestburster.
>>217364826+ the plot, scene by scene was 80% the same just with og aliens replacing everything else.
>>217364777Nice trips now go get yourself locked up.

>>217364826>The original "snake" was a chestburster.>A parasitic alien creature bursts out of a man's chest, killing him instantly>some millennial reddit mod looking scientist immediately runs over and tries to pet ityeah that makes a lot more sense huh
>>217364296this is such a novel piece of criticism of a new film, no one ever said or heard this before
>>217364296It's actually not that unreasonable. They're wearing tough space suits and any little wild animal shouldn't have been able to do anything to them regardless of how hostile it was. It 100% should not have been able to break his arm nor break into his helmet. You just say it's bad now base on hindsight knowledge. You wouldn't say he was stupid if that thing attacked and he just swatted it away as a puny creature it is. It's the same thing with the complaints about Alien. "durrr why would you put your face over an alien egg?! so stupid!" when literally no lifeform ever seen on Earth is immediately able to attack from birth. Why or even how would any egg have a baby ready to attack and defeat an adult animal seconds after it hatches? That's a moronic idea to even contemplate. Just like this one with Prometheus.
>>217364893INT. CATACOMBS - INSECT CHAMBERMilburn and Fifield have bunked down in a new chamber: they slouch against a wall. Milburn sweeps the room with his headlamp. Stoops to lift something into the light.MILBURNLook at this!A CENTIPEDE, three feet long and thick as man’s thumb. Its hard shell is gray. It has a hammer-head like a shark.FIFIELDJesus! Put it down!He leaps back, wild-eyed.Milburn laughs at him. Lets the eyeless centipede wind its segmented body around his space-suited arm.In the flat face, a white vertical slit appears. Changes quickly to a horizontal position; opens enough to suggest a mouth. Milburn doesn’t notice this development.MILBURNRelax. Your suit’s bug-proof. Hell, it’s bulletproof.The centipede spirals around his arm, glittering, its body moving in fluid waves. The blind head quests between his fingers. Milburn loses his nerve as the thing’s mouth suddenly gapes wide as a shark’s. MILBURN (CONT’D)That’s enough.He tries to pull it off.The centipede locks its segments together and digs in with Fifield pulls out a utility knife. Cuts into the centipede’s body behind its head.A gout of greed ACID spills over Milburn’s glove. Smoke rises as the acid quickly burns a hole through the material.Milburn’s shout of astonishment turns to a wail of agony.MILBURN (CONT’D)AHH! Help me! Christ!The centipede snakes into the smoking hole in the glove. Crawls upward into Milburn’s suit - toward his head.
INT. JUGGERNAUT - EGG CHAMBERWatts awakens. Her helmet is gone.DAVID is dragging her across the floor - into a huge cargo hold full of Alien eggs. The wide trench holding hundreds of eggs under a membrane of light: an evolution of the molluscoids Watts saw before. Armored, hardened, darker.WATTSDAVID. What are you doing?He hauls her upright to let her look across the huge space. His grip looks casual but it might as well be iron manacles.DAVIDJuggernaut, the chariot of Krishna, was also a bringer of death. Crushing his worshippers under its wheels.He drags Watts down into the trench. Breaking the membrane of light. Grips her against his chest like a doll with one arm.DAVID (CONT’D)This ship has seven other cargo bays like this one. The eggs in each bay slightly different. They’ve been weaponized.Watts struggles to free herself. DAVID’s arm is inescapable.DAVID (CONT’D)I’ve seen the Juggernaut’s flight plan. Its destination was Earth. Seventeen hundred years ago. This was the ship that never came. This was its DAVID caresses an Alien egg. It opens under his touch - fleshy petals folding wetly back.Watts twists frantically in his grip. Wild-eyed.WATTSStop!DAVIDPerfect predators. Designed to kill human beings. That’s what the Engineers were bringing to Earth. This was a death ship.A facehugger emerges from the egg, its grotesque fingers clawing at the air. This is not the boneless squid that attacked Holloway; this is a pale skeletal hand, armored.DAVID strokes it curiously: the thing ignores his touch. Climbs Watts’s body.DAVID (CONT’D)I’m not what it wants. But you, with your warm wet breath...it knows you.WATTSDAVID. No. No.The facehugger scuttles toward her face. Watts shrieks.DAVID grabs it nonchalantly by the tail. Dangles it in front of their faces, studying it.DAVIDThe Engineers did their work too well. And on this waystation moon, the weapon they made destroyed them.
>>217365232Watts shudders, staring at the thing. For a moment the grander horror eclipses her own peril.WATTSWhy would they make such things?DAVIDTo destroy their wayward children.(intoning)“And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth...for it repenteth me that I have made them.” Genesis six seven.He regards Watts with something almost like pity. He lets the facehugger go.Watts twists her face away as the long fingers close around her head. Clenches her teeth against the vile proboscis thrusting at her mouth. Her heels hammer the deck.DAVID (CONT’D)(whispering to her)Extraordinary.The scaly tail throttles her. Her mouth opens. The proboscis plunges home. The facehugger seats itself.Watts collapses in DAVID’s arms, a faceless rag doll. Her blasphemous passenger secure in its place.
>>217364296This takes place in the future, like idiocracy.
>>217365247HIBERNATION CHAMBERWatts goes to DAVID’s head. She bends over him - and startles when his eyes snap open. His voice is an electronic buzz:DAVIDI spoke to him. Spoke to him.WATTSI know.An electric spasm convulses his face.DAVIDHe said. I killed him. He’ll die. But first. He will launch. The ship.WATTSThe Juggernaut?DAVIDSend it. To Earth.Another spasm convulses him. His face stiffens. Dying.DAVID (CONT’D)You’ll have to. Kill him.Watts’s eyes widen in horror.WATTSWhere will he go? DAVID. Where will he go?She slaps his inert cheek. DAVID’s eyes flicker and fade.DAVID(a faint whisper)I set the Magellan free.He dies.Watts looks up at the others. Breathing hard.WATTSWe have to stop the Engineer.
>>217364329This. >What was that sound in the basement?>Well, even though everyone else has disappeared, I will check out that sound without so much as a weapon or proper lighting.
>>217365312INT. JUGGERNAUT - PILOT CHAMBEROn the floor, DAVID’s eyes open. With his jaw he hitches his severed head around. Gets his eyes on the Sleeper.In the pilot chair, the Sleeper convulses.An ALIEN erupts from his chest. Big as a wolf even at its birth. Dark gray, armored, lethal. More hideous than any chestburster we've seen. An ULTRAMORPH. It wails hideously.The Sleeper dies. The Alien slithers free.EXT. JUGGERNAUT (IN FLIGHT) - ABOVE THE STORMThe Juggernaut emerges from the stormclouds into the clear upper air - but loses momentum. Staggers through the upper atmosphere, control lost
>>217364296i mean that's what steve irwin would've done. but he's built different
>>217365364>i mean that's what steve irwin would've donethats how he died
>>217364329But this movie is constantly trotted out as “smart” sci-fi.
This is more realistic than you'd think, see everyone complains that horror movie characters behave like complete retards, but a lot of people out there ARE retards. I've seen tons of videos of morons getting fucked up by animals that were clearly broadcasting a massive "fuck off" signal with their body language while they continued to approach or try and play with them.
>>217364571>>217364544one of the people who survived scrambled over a countertop and I saw some garbage video made by some dumb social media whore on /pol/ saying the way he desperately tried to get away from the fire gave her the ick
>>217365417the character in question was literally a biologist
>>217365458Biologists can be complete fucking retards too. Being really intelligent in one capacity doesn't mean you can't be a drooling dumbass with no common sense.
>>217365417It's pretty much impossible to show a horror movie character make an honest mistake based on ignorance, misunderstanding, or panicky high emotions
>>217365458I've seen biologists run over and pick up black widow spiders.
>>217364532anon they had literally mapped out the place with drones minutes earlier.
>>217364387Said geologist had a drone making him a real time digital map of the place too.
>>217364296Reminder that Alien Romulus fixed this by making the characters stupid kids and not the worlds best experts in their fields
>>217365582The mapping guy getting lost was far more egregious compared to the biologist. The mapping guy had 3D holographic mapping drones he was so proud of. And he was so scared he was shitting his pants to get back. But everyone else gets home ok, and he's the one who is lost?? Then he decides to start smoking weed while he's deathly afraid of the alien corpses? wtf?
>>217365617Alien Romulus didn't fixed shit it literally made it worse
>>217365617>Alien Romulus fixed this by making the characters stupid kidsstupid kids that can fly spaceships
>>217365824Yeah its not like stupid kids can drive cars or anything
>>217365841Do you see a lot of stupid kids piloting passenger airplanes?
>>217364544More proof only midwits hate Kinometheus.
>>217364826Not only this but there is a deleted scene for prometheus that shows the biologist in the air exchange room with the big hole in the ground, he finds baby worms and saves them in a sample tube in his suit. When he picks them up they aren't hostile. It would have made more sense to leave it in personally.I like the engineer script a lot too, the goo alien that could slide into small spaces, having more mercs on the ship, the crazy fight to survive as the ship breaks apart after smacking into the engineer ship + david being way more sinister early on with forcing facehuggers onto the crew.
>>217364488>Surely a Hollywood writer wouldn't be so stupidThere's a crew member who gets dropped mid movie and never mentioned again. The zombie ayy sneaks on board because they keep the doors open on a possibly hostile world.
