>/tv/ defended this slop
I saw way more people shitting on it.
>>221007643It at least tried to do something different compared to every other entry in the franchise
>>221007643alien: nepo earth
I had hopes it was going somewhere interesting but holy shit was I wrong.
>>221007710There was one namefag shill who defended it and usually made the generals for it.
>>221007643nibs was so hot
>Creators: Umm uhh did- hey did we mention the robots can like uhh do all the things?>Mhmm! If it's a thing you were thinking of asking if they can do that thing; they sure can!
>>221007643Had its moments but no plan for an actual invasion of earth, was just phoning it in at the end
>>221007643yeah but now that AI2 has been announced all sins are forgiven.
>>221007643I loved it, even with all its flaws.I'm comfortable with having a contrary opinion. Enjoyment is subjective and we all have different desires
>>221007752>*hiss*
I still can’t believe how bad this was
if it had any resemblance of a conclusion I might have liked it more
>>221007794>first guy comletely misses somehow>others don't even fire their weaponswere they retarded?
>>221007643
dude peter panso deep
>"writers" after 40 straight hours of prompting the LLM to try to generate them a decent ALIEN script>"Please for the love of GOD do not include a reference to Ice Age this time"Gen ai>"No" :)
>>221007643The first episodes hinted something good, then the island happened and it became Alien park.
>>221007752this desuINSANE DSLs
>>221007643Don´t be silly, nobody actually watched this crap.
>>221007643When there was no Alien it was really good. Aliens biggest issue is the gay ass alien they are anchored to. They need to return to their roots and have the Alien get 10% screen time at most.
>>221008032This is still unbelievable.
>>221007738> Father plays Hal Jordan because he was the cheapest option in the DCU.> Daughter is suddenly on the shortlist to play Maxima even though she looks nothing like the character. Gunn's nepotism is the worst type of nepotism in the industry.
>>221007776Biggest fall I think Ive ever seen in a season. Last two episodes were borderline painful.
>>221007725Prometheus did too but /tv/ shit on it as well and it flopped so hard we got Covenant instead of Prometheus 2
>>221007738for what it's worth, if I were taking on a project that carries financial risk and I were to be investing my money in it: I would much rather hire people who have "good enough" skills, are affordable, and I have a large amount of trust in them (perhaps from seeing them grow up and all).. as opposed to a stranger whose skills excel but who I do not know if I can trust them responsibly be a member of the project and who is respectful of the financial riskSocial trust is harder to come by than skill, probably.
Wendy a CUTE
>>221007943Yes the joke is that Boy doesn't actually understand Peter Pan and is just attached to the superficial aesthetics of it good job
>>221007643Did they?
>>221007725The real irony is that the best parts of the show are on the spaceship.
Parts of it were perfect.
>>221007643No? The threads were overwhelmingly negative and rightly so. This was shit of the highest order. Like literally retarded.
>>221008339which would honestly be fine and fits with real-life tech billionaires like Thiel not understanding Lotr at allbut they didn't have to go on about it in every second scene
Peter Dinklage confirmed for Season 2
>>221008393>The real irony is that the best parts of the show are on the spaceship.This. Other than the completely pants on head retarded opsec biocontainment protocols the episode on the ship was pretty decent. The rest of the show was damn near unwatchable though and I had to struggle to get through it.
We never got to see what was up with the giant xenomorph mountain range
>>221007752She needs to close her fucking mouth for fucks sake
>>221008529I hope he plays a chest burster
I liked the episodes with Wendy kicking ass in her XenoSuit
>>221007643Yeah like one guy
>>221008716It was me and I unironically got a warning for it lol
>>221008745NTA but you deserved it.
>>221007752Based
It was kinda cool when the entire Earth got facehugged. I didn't see that coming.
Why don't they just adapt the comics?
We did? I thought it was pretty universally panned here and almost instantly forgotten after that abomination of a finale. Terrible concept of a show too, started with a little bit of potential that was immediately squandered.
>>221009302Just like star wars, the people making it have zero idea of the history of the franchise or what fans liked about it. They don't know or care that there were comics. They just shoved a bunch of unrelated slop on screen and told you to like it since it has the label of the thing you liked.
those were paid shill threads
>>221009384I wasn't paid, I just have bad taste.
That episode when the Earth was revealed to be a giant egg? What a bold, new direction to take the story!
>>221008032the fuck is this
>>221007643episode 2 was really good -.-
>>221007643Yes they did. Shitty ass show who's highlight was fucking Tires from Spaced getting the eye thing in him. That's it. Show fucking sucked.
>>221009302> Why don't they just adapt the comics?> Expecting Disney to pay writers royalties.Not in this lifetime. That is the main reason why Disney never adapted the Star wars EU because they didn't want to pay the writers royalties.
>>221007643i didn't. it fucking sucks and the "da hoomans ar da reel monstesr" is such a fucking gay and tired trope that it actually makes me physically angry.
>>221009546>that it actually makes me physically angry.have you tried having sex?
>>221009341This. Could have pulled almost ANY fan of the franchise who was 35+ of course to write it and it would have at least been serviceable.
>>221009607i watched alien earth after a breakup so it could be very correlated.
>>221009503
>>221009341They rely heavily on the phenomenon of nerds showing up to see nerd shit no matter what extra angle the nerd shit has. So they don't feel like they need to cater to the nerds hardly at all, it can be aimed entirely at gaining a broader and more diverse fanbase of normies. The only thing is, nerd shit is nerd shit for a reason, normies don't buy it, and catering to normies usually ruins the nerd shit. After twenty years of Marvel films being popular with everyone, they think this is possible for every franchise.
>>221009468>>221008032Actual scene from the show
>>221009821there is no way this wasn't meant to be intentionally funny.
>>221009746They don't know why things are popular. They think they can make things popular by targeting a wider audience. When in reality things are popular because they are already popular with nerds and the normies want to jump on the hype train of popularity.
>>221009884She's going to be more evil than David
>>221007643>OK anon, we're going to play a little game. Pull down your pantaloons, grab a ruler and start jerking off with one hand. When I snap my fingers, smack your balls as heard as you can with the ruler in your other hand. Ready? 1..2..3..BEGIN
>>221007725So why not make a new setting?
>>221007725And the best episode was the one that was basically a remake of Alien in 40 minutes
>>221010070>She's going to be more evil than DavidZero chance of that happening. She's literally Rey. Like they tried to tease that there was even the slightest chance of Rey turning evil leading up to ROTS and nobody was buying it even for the second. There is zero point zero chance Disney will let their perfect mary sue be anything but le' super girlboss.
>>221010279Well, she controls the xenomorphs now, and there's not much they can do with xenomorphs except have them breed and kill people. They're already murdering humans like it's nothing.
i was nice to see shills on youtube slowly losing hope it would get better
>>221010365>They're already murdering humans like it's nothing.Well those people "totally had it coming" though.
>>221010466you realize that if they're actual shills, then they would never lose hope and would gaslight people into thinking what they're seeing is actually good? Shill doesn't mean normal people that are watching a show for the first time giving it a chance before judging it entirely, even if it turns out to be bad in the end.
>>221010630i mean shills as the guys that make their entire channel about the fucking IP, its not "Joeblobwatchmovies5848" channel i mean "AlienYutaniFan349548" that only makes videos about the franchise, the kind that made a video per trailer and looked forward to this tvshow since it got announced
>>221010630Nah. Shills will go which way the wind blows if the sentiment is strong enough. They will 100% change their tune if something is popular enough and they see they can make money from it. And they will try to memoryhole the fact that they were ever against it in the first place. IGN is notorious for this.
>>221009661i just wish they made this meme with a better girl
>>221007813God I fucking hated the super ninja Aliens in this show.Stopped two episodes before the end. The story being moved forward by endless stupidity by the cast made it unbearable.
>>221009872it didnt feel comedic on the first watch, just shockingly out of place.I can somewhat understand its place in the plot, reinforcing the aspect of children being placed in adult bodies and this character thinking in the context of children movies during a high stress and unknown situation.
Eyeballchad was worth it.
>>221007643The /tv/ you are quoting, are they with us now ?
>>221010950I waited until the season was over before I started watching it. I had planned to binge it but it was such a struggle I had to take up to a couple of weeks at a time between episodes to finish it it was so fucking lame.
>>221010365>those punchesfucking LOL
>>221008204Like no this random synth girl does not command fucking xenos, they all need to be killed off in season 2, it would redeem the first season
I liked Kirsh and the eyeball, the rest of the show was kinda boring.
>>221007725Only because it was originally written as a Star Trek show. Ridley did something new with the prequels and normalfags hate it passionately to this day.
>>221008393>>221008396>>221010237I suspect you had a creature designers and scenario writers who did all the best bits and wrote the meat of the space episode, then you had the "main" team of writers who were hopelessly out of their depth doing a serious prestiege horror which is why the writing nosedived so hard as it focused more and more on what they wrote and not the framework they were handed.
>>221011413Kirsh was a lame, weak bitch. Easily defeated. The eyeball was just more baby yoda nonsense that doesn't fit in Alien.
>>221011617where can I buy an eyeball sheep plushie for my niece?
>>221007643It was ok until episode 6 then plummeted brutally
>>221011617>weak bitchThat's why I liked him though, he's clearly inferior to the cyborg nigga and the hybrids yet smarter and has his own plans.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1clTjBbP8g
>>221007643I liked it actually, despite the fact the ending made me want to cut my balls off.
>>221007643I enjoyed it until the last episode which gave us a retarded and lame cop-out Stranger Things endingAlso it's a better Blade Runner sequel than 2049 is
First 5 minutes had a xeno jumpscare for no reason and rock music anyone that kept watching after that dogshit first episode is retarded and doesn't deserve better than whatever the fuck these webms are itt
>>221008317She's the worst Alienverse waifu.
>>221011941second worst
>>221011617Tymothy Olyphant and totally not Parker from Alien were the best things about this garbage show. Without them it would have been a complete disaster and a total loss.
>>221007643Its pure dogshit, and this is coming from someone who liked romulus. I honestly cant remember anyone defending it, it kept getting worse with every episode.
>>221008482Reading along with the episode releases you could see the early optimism that they'd finally made something decent just slowly fade as the realisation set in that the writers were braindead and everyone ended up bagging on the show.
>>221007813I hate how modern actors and actresses have some weird ass to them. It's like they intentionally pick the most vile genetic specimens they can (they do)
>>221012687NTA but I knew going in that it was going to be shit from the minute it was announced. Which is why I had waited for all the episodes to come out even though I usually prefer the real time experience of watching a show week to week. I always pay attention to who is directing or showruning a thing that is coming out and when I knew it was going to be from the same guy that did Legion. I knew it was going to be shit because that show sucked even though you will see people that try to meme it as some kind of secret gem.
>>221012687The show did seem genuinely good at first but yeah. About the third time a major event happened due to characters being inexplicably stupid and the stupid reveal that the girl could talk to the alien just made me nope out of it.
>>221012832>The show did seem genuinely good at firstNo it didn't. It seemed retarded from the very first episode. I have no idea what people are talking about when they say that it started out good. Everything and everybody in it was stupid from the jump. The only thing the show had going for it was the production value. That was literally it.
When?I've never seen anyone defend or even like this show on this board
i like this show
>>221007643this would be unwatchable if she wasnt cute, it had no other redeeming factor
