No it wasn't. The show was retarded from the very beginning. There's like one good episode and that was the flashback on the ship.

>>219482796
There's a non insignificant chance she ends the season as the CEO of WY and being the reason the nostromo crew gets sent to the alien ship. I'm also willing to bet that if this ends up happening the show will still try to portray her as a good person
>>
>>219482484
Don't let the fags on this board ruin it for you it's actually decent. Other than the twink kike ceo every character has agency. What's you realize it's a direct ripoff of Peter Pan it loses some of it's zeal and some of the action scenes are kind of 'wut'? I get the xenos are supposed to be a problem but by now the mercs/military forces should have evolved to a point where handling them isn't so problematic, the fucking soldiers in the movie do a better job than in this series.

>Wendy is Pan
>TimOli is clearly Wendy
>Schizo violent nig boat captain with a weapon for an arm is clearly hook
>the other droids are clearly lost boys

The occulus alien was the best part. The xenos are actually interesting when they're not even the second scariest creature in the show.

Overall it was good, but was deceptively titled and advertised. Maybe the Earth thing will matter in season 2 but it really doesn't here. The exact same show could be done on some random colony planet or moon out there with just one city.

People were rightly pissed that it turned out marketing imagery like picrel had almost nothing to do with what happens in the show

Whiners were bitching about this show from the very first episode for not having the alien front and center, and that the android story bored them.

Its STILL hard to find anyone online criticizing Pluribus which is a show where NOTHING HAPPENS FOR TEN HOURS OF SCREEN TIME.
>>
>>219487241
Choke down a bongle of dongs. The show was advertised as an Alien show and xenomorphs ended up taking a back seat to some hamfisted plot about a gaggle of retard kids.
>>
>>219491626
>gaggle of retard kids.
it's not a total bait and switch like jurassic world did with the clone child. the androids with human minds makes sense in universe
>>
>>219482484
Episode 2 was good too until it's not
>>
>>219491621
In Pluribus, you actually learn something each episode, either about the characters or about the hive mind.
In Alien Earth, we basically get a full episode of flashbacks, re-running information we already know without adding anything new to the equation. And you have to try really hard to ignore everyone acting like retards, even if the bulk of the cast has the excuse that they're supposed to be children. Somehow they even manage to make the season finale the absolute worst and most unsatisfying outcome beyond your wildest dreams. Like who the fuck actually wants to watch a new season where the kid robots are in control?
>>
>>219491690
It’s enough of a bait and switch to make it painfully apparent that the fag writing the show clearly wanted to make some preening bullshit that could only be greenlit if he stapled the alien universe to it. Episode five showed what the show could have been, instead we got rancid trash.

I waited until the season was over and planned to binge it all at once and I couldn't do it. It was just too retarded. I had to literally force myself to finish it after taking multiple days or weeks off between episodes because of the brain damage.

The only episode that was halfway decent and interesting was the flashback on the ship even though I agree that yeah, the crew was pants on head retarded with their bio containment protocols. But really it was like that throughout the entire show. Like holy fuck what a stupid show. Literally written by retards.

It was shit in hindsight, I didn't even finish it.
The main plot about the children in synth bodies was the worst fucking decision.

As others have said, the only good episode is on the ship.
>>
>>219499434
>taking multiple days or weeks off between episodes
Alien Earth sucks ass, but just saying that Binging is objectively the worst way to watch a show. Letting episodes rest for several days or a week then getting into the next one is the best way, which is why most streaming is returning to that format. They understand that consuming a whole season in one ten hour marathon is idiotic. You retain almost nothing from it, the big moments don't hit like they should, and it diminishes the quality of all work they put into the shows. Then you wait a year or two for the next one and it's all already forgotten since you had no time for it to sink in. Anyway, Alien Earth was a giant turd even watched weekly.
>>
>>219499880
You got me all wrong. I agree that weekly is the superior way to watch a show. But I had a sneaky feeling it was going to suck due to the production team behind it and the fact that it was Disney. So I didn't want to subscribe all of that extra time for a show I had a feeling was going to suck. And truly the show managed to fall below my already low expectations and be even worse than I had feared.
>>
I still can't believe this is a real shot
>>
>>219491621
This show was a random sci fi script with xenomorphs spliced into it.

Nobody even watched pluribus, its viewership was 1/10th of BCS.

It wasnt as bad as everyone says. It has some horrible parts, mostly with the xeno and "kids" dialogue, but it has a lot of good too. Its not worse than Romulus (low bar but its what Alien is now)
>>
>>219502408
As far as I’m concerned, they only way they could begin to redeem it is if the second season treats Wendy as the villain, and the first season was a villain origin story, and the second is focused on a squad of special forces guys being sent in to take out Wendy and retake the island, or failing that, nuke it before the xenos can get to the mainland.
>>
>>219502567
idk how it continues without her being the baddie, i guess she could create an army of xenomorphs to take on muh evil capitalism or something but that's too reddit even for this show
>>
>>219502452
>Its not worse than Romulus

Yes it is. It's way worse than Romulous. Romulous was close to being kino before the bizarre choice to incorporate a bunch of retro memes and memberberries in the final act. Alien Earth was just rerarded all the way from start to finish.
>>
>>219502737
Nah. Romulus was a retread, Earth tried something new. Both fell on their faces but they're pretty equal in that way
>>
>>219503034
Romulus is watchable and a decent 5/10. It deserves its sequel. Earth is shit from ass, a bait and switch nonsense that was only worth watching like a car crash to see how bad it got. Its sequel is only happening because of blatant nepotism.
>>
>>219486041
The only way to tell if one is an android or not is by copious amounts of black dicking. That's why Vickers invited Idris Elba to her room. To prove she is not an android with lots of black dicking.
>>
>>219482484
This show is an amazing litmus test to find out who's opinions you should ignore. Any one who says this show is anything other than a shit stained corn nugget stuck to the toilet bowl after a horrendous acrid liquid dump has no critical analysis. Anything they recommend should be discarded as an opinion held by an retarded infant
>>
>>219503682
Eh, we can agree that least they both suck
>>
>>219503803
I partially agree. Personally I found it disappointing, embarrassing, and even exhausting... but I would understand if it was someone's guilty pleasure if they watched it expecting nothing but trash and just enjoyed it for the memes like Xeno jobbing, eyeball antics, android autism, wendy perverts, etc. It's like a soap opera.

These are perfectly accurate descriptions imo, but I find it hard to deny that it had a few interesting bits and some ideas that could've been good in a different production.

>>219503034
Shitting on Romulus is brainless. Romulus is well-executed, complete experience with a few fresh ideas and a few stale ones, and a 6/10 at the very worst.
You have to genuinely hate movies to not get anything out of Romulus, even if you have a whole tome of complaints about it.

It takes a nosedive halfway through and the ending is a fucking joke.

I’ll do you one better: season 2 opens on a task force being deployed to the island after xeno outbreaks start cropping up and someone figures out it started there. It’s revealed that the facility has been turned into a hive and the task force finds the mangled but still just barely operable remains of Kirsch who reveals the xenomorphs dragged eggs up from the lab to implant the human prisoners. One burster hatches out into a queen and the xenos immediately turn on Wendy and co. when the young queen decides Wendy’s ability to communicate commands is a threat. Kirsch also reveals that the task force aren’t the only team to have been sent and that all of the kids except Nibs got gibbed when they tried to put up a fight. Nibs only survived because her already fucked up mind led to her essentially going feral and start mimicking the xenos/helping them harvest hosts from the previous teams. The task force has to find a way to kill the queen while dodging xenos and a psychotic android with a dubiously loyal Kirsch in tow.

A refined version of the first three or so episodes as a movie is what Romulus should have been.

>A research vessel (The Romulus) with all manner of alien nasties (including xenomorphs) crashlands into a colossal apartment complex/hotel on Earth
>None of the robo-children shit
>A rescue crew is sent inside for survivors
>As they're exploring the building, there is a cave-in in such a way that exits are blocked, the building is too unstable for airlift, and the only way out is through the crashed ship
>They're menaced by a few of the other alien species (eyebro is one of the few good things from the show)
>They find the building surprisingly absent of people, as this whole time, the xenos have been snatching survivors and building their nest
>The cyborg plot is largely intact (he was the other good thing about the show)
>Maybe to give the movie a ticking clock, the ship's reactor is overloading, and they have a certain amount of time before there's an emergency vent that will irradiate everything within a certain radius.
>They find a few survivors, and make their escape
>This is when the now-grown xeno horde begins pursuing them through the ruins of the ship
>Much excitement happens, and they're airlifted out just as a burst of lethal radiation kills everything within a certain radius of the ship
>It's all over...
>Oh shit, the cyborg stowed away, and it's his job to kill the last of the witnesses, and he levels his gun at the MC
>Oh shit, there was one last xenomorph that clung to the ship, and it impales the pilot with its tail through the windscreen at that exact moment, and the ship crashes, and the cyborg dies or is otherwise incapacitated
>The climax of the movie is the few remaining people who survived the crash having to evade a pissed off xenomorph with no weapons, and only things in their environment. I was thinking construction site or some kind of industrial area with a lot of machines, but that might be too cliche.

nta, do you truly believe this? Romulus doesn't do anything original but hits all the usual story beats, has CGI that is leagues beyond Earth and has decent action. Earth was laughably bad imo, although looking at reviews online I'm realizing most people think it was good, probably the same retards that unironically enjoy From.

the show became shit the moment the main character picks a weapon by easily taking the blade from a paper guillotine.
those blades have a hole at the tip that a bar goes through and its bolted on. they dont just come apart without tools.
also the end of the blade is bulky with extra metal to reinforce it. it would suck as a slicing weapon.
its only in the show because the creator saw it done in M3gan and copied it.
the rest of the show is likewise filled with shit stolen from other, better, movies and TV. the only good thing was the eyeball beastie and that plotline went nowhere at all.
