This is THE ONLY thing you'd have to change before you could set Alien in like 1780, on a ship. And you'd only need to change that he's knocked unconscious and starts speaking French or Latin and *gasp* he's upper class, he's a company officer, not a sailor.

>>219403095Sometimes I get so turned on doing a poo I'll take it out and pretend to breastfeed the warm shit.
you're a fucking retard, OP
>>219403095Master and Commander would shit all over it.
>>219403095Wtf are you on about
>>219403095I think we should discuss the bonus situation.
>>219403717this exact dialogue is what fills up the pages of conrad's books like 'the nigger of the narcissus', about 1800s merchant seamen. that's where ridley got it from. that's the point
>>219403095no one ever promoted Alien as sci-fi you retard. i bet you think Sigourney Weaver was the lead actress as well
>>219403095They actually did this with Brotherhood Of The Wolf.>giant demonic wolf is actually a shaved lion put in a suit of armor>the local prostitute is actually a nun, spying for the vatican
>>219403904is it worth a watch (considering i now know the twists)?
>>219403095>damage part of the ship so the creature falls through>bait it to get blown overboard by a cannonball>some third scheme involving diving bare/in a cage/diving suitYou could mimic Alien with a change in setting but it definitely uses sci-fi stuff for sequences that wouldn't otherwise be possible, including the atmosphere and heightened helplessness. If it's just in the ocean there's a part of the mind that can always hope the currents will save anything that goes overboard, unlike being in a time-limited container in space, or worse being bare.
>>219403095>If you change multiple aspects of a film it's something differentWow thanks Einstein
>>219404186the post is saying even if you changed those things, it would be the same. >>219404159the vaccum of space is just the water. tangle it in the anchor chain and drop anchor. either you have to go overboard too so you have a tube or something, or maybe closer to the scene is a section of the hull will get flooded and you have to be in there, so yeah like just get some leather bag or something to breathe out of for as long as it takes for the animal to be fucked
i honestly can see it and it could work, but a part of the novelty is that the fact that this story is indeed thrown into a gritty, dirty dump of a sci-fi setting. the nature of the movie's premise is definitely universal and it took advantage of that by selecting the future, in a time when sci-fi was star wars shit to normies. and on that note, that's kind of why star wars worked too, it was a medieval fairy tale with sci-fi trappings swapping out sorcery for the force and medieval castles for space stations. the novelty mattered
>>2194030952001 a space odyssey might as well be called 1830: a steam odyssey, because it could just as well - acherly ->adjusts thick rimmed plain glass hipster spectacles-acherly be set then acherly and the computer could just be an industrialist>asks the girl at the counter to remove the lid to his starbucks sippy-cup because it's too hard for himand acherly - the spaceship could just as well be a steam train, acherly>turns his macbook air pro lite feather kewl beanz around so he can look at the back of it just to appreciate the little logo that is otherwise only their to advertise to other people what he's boughtand acherly - the spacesuit could just be a business suit>squirms in the plastic seat as his intestinal worms writhe aroundand acherly - the airlock just as well might be just as well may be might be just as well a might as well just be a first class cabin on the steam trainaxherly
>>219404120>is it worth a watch (considering i now know the twists)?Only if you really like the french revolution aesthetic. Bloodborne armor was modeled after it.
>>219405171Damn, you might be onto to something with this
