I am convinced the Alien prequels are just Ridley Scott having a huge homo lust for blonde haired blue eyed men. Everything is focused around David being the centre, and the increasing homosexual themes of his character. Plus making the giant creepy Space Jockeys into buff statue men is more homosexual imagery on this gay old mans space fantasy.

>>220791090

The entire Alien franchise (according to Ridley) is a play for men to entirely coopt the female capability to incubate life.
As soon as men found out what the xeno can do they get lusty about it and want to gain that power so they can keep the woman out of the loop permanently. This can only create monsters, but the emersonian/faustian spirit of men cannot be contained.
That's why the primary opposition to this entire thing is a female protagonist.
The entire franchise is about how men coveting the power of mpreg.

The best thing about it is that it tied everything up nicely. It was so satisfying. It made me rewatch the whole franchise, start to finish, and all the little confusing parts made sense. That too, was extremely satisfying.

In other words the timeless wisdom that Sir Ridley Scott wanted to leave behind to humanity through the Alien franchise is that YWNBAW.

The one thing that I enjoyed in that flick is that when you pay very close attention and you know the art history background, there's a very dark still during the transition into the second act that shows some trees and rock, as they settle in for the night (or thereabouts). This still shot is a direct homage to Böcklin's Isle of the Dead. The significance of this (series of) painting(s) is that it was Giger-ized by Giger right around the point that he was "discovered" and contracted to work on Alien, so when Giger came up with the Derelict concept (and the away team's journey into it), what you're seeing is three people (one of whom is already as good as dead) traveling toward the back of this U-shape thing, which is just what you have in the painting.

No, but they would need to use a lot of makeup and lightning to hide is aging skin, or use CGI.

I too have noticed subtle details in the art style, direction and cinematography. Are you aware for instance, that the aliens, look like penises?
>>
>>220794674

and are YOU aware that Giger's original intention was for the top of an egg to have a single linear slit opening on top, and the Standards people asked him to de-vagify it just a bit, so he made it instead a four-fold cross shape?

Still, when they actually climb into the derelict, the hole that they're climbing into is clearly a big giant gaping pussy. That made it into the film.

Back then, they couldn't prompt for better scripts including all the previous characters. That's going to change eventually once Hollywood embraces the chatbots.

David isn't interesting though. He's just more of Ridley's Roy character except if he got long life. Still butt hurt about everything, thinking he's top shit and no one else is worthy of living. Pretty obvious he was just going to create an army of xenos on the colony world and do the more of the same stuff

I dunno lad
If I had to choose between my body and that of a xeno I'll probably choose xeno
Your opinion is only valid because the xeno doesn't talk, but it's pretty clear by Resurrection that men isn't actually that far away from making better humans (xenos that can talk)
You are like one movie away from being a little bitch

I would have watched a whole movie with fassbender as david just doing crazy shit in space. But no, they had to make this trash. Covenant is fucking garbage.

right

>>220791090
I wish it was that simple. No, it's far more convoluted and pretentious than that. It's about the meaning of life and god. Part of the original background for these movies was that the Engineers were coming back to kill us because we killed Jesus, who was one of them. And then there's the whole android thing where he's annoyed that we made him just because and so he in turn makes the xenomorph...

Not as funny as the romulus guy growing up in barely 60 seconds.

>>220811151
Always just chalked it up to the OG alien eggs being much older and the david eggs/romulus facehuggers were essentially breed differently with david taking a more active role and the romulus ones being 3d printed. That being said it's just really at the mercy of the story, one could argue that covenant has a bit of a time skip for both chest burster moments but it's still tight.

>>220810710
or the cephalopod thing in Prometheus

>>220810637
What's your problem with Jesus being influenced by the engineers? The story is already removing God from creating humans, there's no reason the actual creators of humanity couldn't be the ones guiding Jesus as well. It's a fictional story, does that really have to offend you if someone is exploring a fictional what-if idea? And the background story is that the original engineers, each living half a million years of more, long ago lost their ability to biologically reproduce. So they create worlds, many of which DO NOT succeed and have to be abandoned or culled. The ones that work out, create lifeforms that are in the image of the engineers and they shepherd them. The ultimate goal is to create certain females with specific traits they use the goo on to create new engineer life. The goo is not one uniform thing. It has multiple distinct abilities depending on what you're doing which is why it seems to react differently in every scene. The human world was a failure and they were going to cull it. The next world Shaw went to was one of their successful worlds. The space jockey engineer was also part of the religious extremists and not the more central, tolerant engineers. They are not a hivemind.
>>
>>220812773
That shit is from the fake leaked prometheus script, shit like engineers living for millions of years and trying to recreate females was never planned by anyone actually involved in the project, neither spaiths nor scott nor lindelof.
There's other weird shit in it like:
>engineers live almost indefintely and they dont speak because speaking is so taxing for them it kills them
>a character making references to predator plasma weapons even though ridley scott would rather die than allow a predator into "his" franchise

Judging the final movie on its own without background knowledge of what may or may not have been planned i think its pretty obvious that the movie heavyhandedly implies all the we wuz jesus shit is real. That doesnt offend me I just think its pretty retarded. Mostly because its so hamfisted though.

I know I'm conscious, and it's a safe assumption that all other Humans are conscious. If you don't believe that you yourself are conscious, how can you prove anything at all? There must be a you that comprehends those proofs.

>>220794150
What Ridley never realized is that referencing things, without understanding them, is not culture, but just being a smug dumb moron.
>>
>>220790287
Why did Ridley think people give a shit about the Androids in this franchise? They're cool on the side but making the titular alien made by them is gay.
>>
>>220816097
Ridley himself is in love with androids and the idea of a creation hating its creator and vice versa. He will always jump at the chance to make a story about that
