>Alien Covenant ends>never answers who planted the wheat
ridley scott is probably writing alien: wheat as we speak
>>220470169Doubt it was the civilization that was in the general vicinity
>>220470169Funny how in Prometheus they were concerned about taking off their helmets even when scans showed that the air was clean, yet these fucks just walked out onto an unknown planet without any helmets or breathing apparatuses. This movie was truly an abomination.
>>220470225Um, sweaty, long range scans showed it was safe
>>220470201Why would you plant your crops outside your giant city wall?
>>220470274Don't be a retard just to keep a conversation going. It embarrasses both of us.
>>220470635
>>220470169Obviously it was David or whatever the evil robot's name is
>>220470169Was the implication that the Engineers planted it and took it to Earth?
Bro, BROOOOOOOOO!!!We totally actually are spawns from another planet, broooooo!And ultimately this narrative changes absolutely nothing concerning the question where do we (wheat) come from.
>>220470195Ridley has said he is completely done with the Alien universe, sadly. He's of the senile perspective that Romulus means the series is now in good hands and no longer needs his input
>Star Wars: The Last Jedi >2017>Alien Covenant >2017it's happening
Wheat is a grass, grass is everywhere
>>220472282name 5 planets other than Earth with grass
>>220472250>current year >anon saved a thumbnail
>>220471723>no end to David's story
>>220472798Probably not, though I guess there's nothing stopping the Romulus sequel from still trying to bring him back, as a form of fan service
>>220470169there was a guy who shit on an island and grew potatoes so maybe an alien took a shit there (its a toilet planet)
>>220470169>never answers who planted the wheatHis name was Wheatley. chud.
>>220470274did medieval lords grow all their wheat inside the castle? im asking for a friend
>>220471005why did the evil robot plant wheat? what was he baking bread for the xenos in his free time?
>>220470169nobody did and it wasn't wheat
I should really add it to the chart
Prometheus/covenant would have been kino if the timelines were better set up ie. if David was the original sole creator of the Alien. Also, as has been mentioned countless times, everyone in Prometheus makes the worst possible decisions at all times, ruining the movie in some ways.
>>220470169>the best movie in the franchise is Aliens>scott didnt make itXDridley scott is a fucking hack.
>>220473767>Prometheus/covenant would have been kinothere isnt even 1 redeemable thing in both of these movies, they are the opposite of kino.
>>220470169how the fuck did ancient people figure out how to make bread from this? you need to find this specific plant, grind its grains into a powder, mix it with water and fry it, this shit is counter-intuitive
>>220473377Wish they had done more with that character.
>>220472835Allegedly Fede wanted to do that and Ridley shot it down. People on here like to call him senile but he’s smart enough to not let that useless fucker mess with his character. And now Fede isn’t doing the Romulus follow up. Hopefully that means it won’t be full of rehashed moments
>>220473829It's even wilder than that.The wheat-grains you see today are vastly different from the wheat-grains of that time.They had to find this plant. Selectively grow it into something useful. It would've taken many generations.
>>220473873David is more fit for Romulus' sequel. Thematically if the film is titled "Alien: Constantine", then David could act as that "Constantine The Great" figure, and it would allow the chronological debut of the Queen, maybe even implying that the multi-stage life cycle is a result of Praetomorphs hybridizing with the "Big Chap" types
>>220470169Who planted the plants on earth before humans existed?
>>220470225How is it funny that the scientists in Prometheus were retarded?
>weet ik
>>220472291>Naboo>Alderaan>Kashyyyk>Dantooine>Dxun
>>220473829They were probably grinding everything into mush or powder and baking it.
>>220473829Aliens showed them how
>Look, wheat! I know wheat! What are the odds of finding human vegetation this far from Earth?>"human vegetation"Top #1 biology expert this side of the galaxy, everyone!
>>220473472alien + man doesnt equal alien eggit equals dead man
>>220473915David is not fit for any movies in this series. He's not part of the alienverse. He was in a couple reboot movies that went nowhere and never connected to the normal movies fans care about. He is not some star character that now needs to be shoehorned into every subsequent film as le ultimate evil mastermind villain that controls the galaxy with his horde of perfect xenomorphs he created.
>>220473829People in the past didn't have social media stimulation and constant dopamine addiction to distract them. They were sitting around bored often. Like REALLY bored. You're just staring at the surrounding land day after day, year after year, you start fucking around with things and seeing what you can make work. And they had many thousands of years to pass on knowledge with each generation trying to build on what their fathers gave them
>>220473829in a previous episode:>find hard shelled nut, can't eat it, teeth hurt, get angry>use rock to smash it like you did old Zug's skull, it opens up all the samelater on:>find wheat grain, eat it>tastes good, give to your little ones or the old people in the tribe to eat as well>no teeth or molars to masticate with, hmm>use rock like you do with nuts, it just werksWhen all you have is rock, every problem look like enemy skull.
>>220475534But I liked Prometheus
I wish they had kept Prometheus disconnected from Alien and just gone with the original script. It was so much better. They ruined it hard by removing so much in favor of making it a mystery box
The alien part of Alien is cringe. It's such a good Lovecraft-in-space spooky mystery vibe until the fucking alien shows up and le kills everyone in every movie.
>>220473472Who created the niggers then?
>>220473956Raptors and other dinosaurs
>>220478104You're not wrong. The most interesting thing about the first couple movies is the setting and aesthetic. It's dark, remote, cold, empty, lonely, low tech space travel. It takes forever to get anywhere or for any help to get to you. That's rare in most scifi put out since it's not as exciting as something like star wars. But all the directors miss that and try to make Alien movies like other generic scifi just with xenomorphs and that removes everything that made the originals interesting. Alien Isolation brought that back and fans loved it, which is why they made Romulus and Alien Earth more like that again. But they still fucked it up, such as not having androids be fairly weak like Ash and Bishop and instead turned them into super strong terminators that can solo a dozen xenos.
The wheat was your biggest issue with that trash film?
>>220473978Nothing went wrong in prometheus because they took off their helmets but in covenant 2 people get infected within the first 30 minutes on the planet
>>220478544I don't joke around when it comes to wheat. It's serious.
I fucking love wheat and I won't let you slander it with abhorrent lies
Why did Prometheus like John Denver's music so much?
>>220473472>space jockey = engineersfake and gay, dropped
>>220475369Not according to ridley scott
>>220473829In approximately the mental process of the bread pioneers:>you need to find this specific plantweed have tiny seed, I eat>grind its grains into a powderseed too hard, I grind>mix it with waterground seed too little, add water make paste, now more seed than before>and fry itmaybe it like meat, maybe taste better if fire it>bread appearsmagic!! my god did this! *no, MY god did this* (hundreds of millennia of warfare ensues with no end in sight even today)
>>220477287What was the original story they abandoned?
>>220478544>t. wheat casual
>>220473829also yeast
>>220472798Oh no we won't get to see a robot make aliens that were already made again while scary music plays and disposable human side characters die pointless stupid deaths because he wants to be God or something :(
>>220473829I think it’s interesting that a lot of the animals humans domesticated eat grass. Someone was probably like fuck it I’ll skip the middle man and go right to the source.
>>220473829They were hungryHow did we find out anything was edibleLike crab and shellfish and oystersThey don't look very edible Yet we ate it
>>220479599Yeast is actually easier since it’s already everywhere. You just have to leave the right combination of stuff sitting out to collect it
>>220473384Excuse me mate were you there? Then shut the fuk up.
>>220473829Excuse me mate were you there?
shaw didn't plant the wheat?
>>220479520You fought in the Wheat Wars?
>>220470274you’d grow it there then harvest it all and house it inside in case there was a siege
Does alien romulus imply this weird wallegg is part of the ayy lifecycle (egg -> facehugger -> chestburster -> another fucking egg -> xenomorph) because thats fucking retarded.
>>220479898modern wars are just a tiny offshoot of the wheat wars, so when we'll all be drafted into the meatgrinder called WW3, yes I will have fought in them
>>220480228It's not retarded if you think of the xeno as analogous to a morphing insect, like a butterfly (with the additional facehugger stage at the beginning, but it becomes more analogous after that). Caterpillar hatches from an egg, it later has to sit in a chrysalis to turn into its final form. The wall thing is like a chrysalis. It also helps explain how the first xeno in Alien 1979 seemed to, off-screen, go from chestburster to full size and gain a bunch of mass without eating anything. The wall thing could grow it by leeching material out of the ship hull
>>220473956the android know as David and he did it in a really gay way that's also vaguely menacing
>>220480520Ill accept that.How did rook reverse engineer the goo in like 2 years though when the Auriga scientists from Ayy4 couldnt do it in the future?
>>220473956You realize that wheat was selectively bred by humans, right?
>>220480520It did eat stuff. They are biomechanical. It can consume metal. It ate parts of the ship to grow.
>>220480520>>220480520>It also helps explain how the first xeno in Alien 1979 seemed to, off-screen, go from chestburster to full size and gain a bunch of mass without eating anythingYou mean like this guy who did the same thing in like 45 seconds?
>>220480773That's illegal. No wonder the prometheuses wanted to kill humans.
Aliens > Prometheus > Alien > 3 Resurrection > Avp 2 > Covenant > Avp 1 > romulus
>>220480862No no no.Alien = Aliens > A3 > AvP1 > Prometheus > Resurrection > AvP2 > Romulus > Covenant
>>220470169yes, that is important information that should have had a detailed answer.
>>220480808>ate parts of the ship I don't recall if in Alien they find any evidence around the ship of it doing that
>>220470169>>never answers who planted the wheatIn Prometheus we learn that the Space Jockeys are humans who seeded Earth and created us. So the alien wheat created Earth wheat as well.
>>220471723>Ridley has said he is completely done with the Alien universe, sadly.Smartest decision he's made in over a decade.
>>220480520Why were there blue lazors in the alien hive on the station?Does that mean the blue lazors from ALien (1979) were produced by the eggs naturally somehow?I always thought that was like... a space jockey cargo seal or something.
>>220475306>This is very similar to an earth cobra's behavior. A cobra does this when it wants to play.
>>220481532I also really like how the other guy was like >AAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE there are dead aliens in the alien structure on a alien planet???? I have to get out of here now!
>>220479625I know, but Fassbender made them kino
>>220481433It is a cargo seal. The Jockey was taking animal eggs to the space restaurant and that seal keeps them refrigerated and fresh.
>>220481675By doing the fingering
>>220481583I like how the other guy was like>I'm an expert in making maps, I ever have my own personalized customized super expensive map making drones that can scan the entire place and make an accurate 3d map to guide me!then he's one of only two to get lost
>>220481741Unintentionally hilarious movie.
>>220473829>hard seed cant chew>smash into powder>dries fuck out of your mouth>add water>dont finish your food, dries out overnight>discover cracker>almost everything good cooked, especially when it tastes like shit>cook wet dough or dried crackeryou niggas wouldn’t make it out the stone age smdh
>>220483339Guys we need to knock this faggot out with a rock and eat his flesh
>>220483377shut up mbulu
>>220470225Well the scientists should have known better and these people were shown to be kind of retarded colonizers, so it actually fits better thematically. If we want to be "realistic" the main problem would be finding a planet with an atmosphere that's breathable for humans in the first place, since even trace elements can be lethal. We don't have much to fear when it comes to alien bacteria though because the odds of evolutionary similarity is so low. In fact there's a fundamental problem of chirality ("handedness") in the basic structures of life that means we could see a whole ecosystem that's (by chance) got its building blocks reversed, meaning we could never (and they could never) utilize and break down anything from that world. No microbe could decompose your body, anything eating you could actually die from some bizarre interaction with inverse elements. But then the black goo is pretty much magic, and in the Prometheus world many (all?) worlds share an origin. >>220470274Nobody puts their agriculture inside of the city? Perhaps more pertinent, why did they have walls? Do prometheans have anything to fear on these planets (prior to being attacked by black goo)? Do they fight each other with something a big wall could deter? We never really learn what role the primitive looking prometheans on that planet had relative to the sophisticated biotech ones that were translucent. Were they another experiment? Distant cousins? Regressed civilization?>>220473829>from thisThe original wheat barely had grains on it. > find this specific plant, grind its grains into a powder, mix it with water This on the other hand is not very complex at all. They collected grains, roots, berries. Putting things together makes it taste different. Mushing it makes it different. Some combinations better, some worse. You have water, always. Make gruel first. You're already cooking with fire, try putting a gruel cake next to the fire, it hardens. It's kind of nice.
>>220470225but that was the point - they scanned the planet and found it to be perfect for colonisationthey even abandoned their previous target, based on how good the planed looked like on long range scans
I liked the jungle setting and mad science :)
>>220484153>Nobody puts their agriculture inside of the cityThat's retarded. So just leave it to get ravaged by weather, floods, animals with no protection
>>220470274What's the take guys, nigger or just retarded merilard?
>>220473829If you think that's counter-intuitive, just wait until you meet a woman. Hello!
>>220471723Romulus is better than Prometheus and Covenant, so good on him
>>220473384iirc Constantinople had agriculture within city limits, i'm no historyfag though so got no sources to back it up other than vague memories of some documentary I caught on tv.
>>220484315People did it globally for thousands of years. So obviously you're the retarded one.
>>220472343thumbnails guarantee (You)s neonate
>>220478718The scientists acted like complete retards the moment they set foot on the surface. Somehow getting themselves lost, despite having a scanned map of their surroundings. Taking off their helmet, and risking breathing in contaminated particles. Touching the fucking angry cobra that clearly was giving warning signs to back off.
>>220484703Seriously. It'll take weeks to figure out where to even stick it in!
>>220480773>breeding plantsWow I knew 4chan was retarded but come on, they ain't got no penises dum dum
>>220484987If you were wearing a space suit, a cobra wouldn't have been able to do anything to you whatsoever. It would have struck at him impotently like the cuck snake it is. He should have had nothing to fear. Same as sticking your face in front of an egg. There's zero reason to be afraid and think something impossible like a freshly hatched baby will attack an adult and rape them to impregnate them.
>>220484155Which is insane. The closer a planet matches to our habitability, the more likely it is the hat any microorganisms will be able to interact with and exploit our biology.
>>220485076worth the risk to save decades on terraforming, they probably just thought the worst of it would be some diseases their computer medic would cure in a few days
Romulus was a video game film and it was SHIT
>>220470169Why was everything on this planet dangerous?
>>220485527It wasn't? Only the spores and the white aliens all made by David The Human-hating Evil Android
>>220485343That's good considering most of the Alien video games are far better than 90% of the Alien films. This franchise wouldn't have survived without the games
>>220471723>Ridley has said he is completely done with the Alien universeAnd then he said the opposite a month later.
>>220484956>Constantinopleyeah and where did that get them? Where is Constantinople 2? Das rite
>>220470169
>>220470169The wheat planted the aliens.
>>220480246>meatgrinder>not wheatgrinder Disappointing.
>>220484153>Were they another experiment? Distant cousins? Regressed civilization?My headcanon is that it was a ringword- type situation where some catastrophic event caused a loss in communication between the engineer planets, and that's why they initially looked so happy at David's ship arriving.
>>220487253I would never have believed Alien would be combined with wheat as a meme
>>220486088>if I get an ideaIt's already dead on arrival. This type of stuff should never be greenlit unless fully planned out from the start. You don't start making up a trilogy on the fly and winging it.
>>220470225The movie handwaves it by having them both scan the planet from space and when the lander goes down and the security guys are habding out guns you can hear the lander's computer telling them info about the atmosphere being safe.
>>220487642I genuinely don't know what he meant by that. He had the entirely trilogy in his head before Prometheus even released, he said so in an interview. He obviously has an idea.
>>220487690They actually thought God prepared the planet for them and they'd just have to pacify some local beasts
>>220484963People are retarded
>>220488865Ridley's an atheist, right?
>>220484688
