These are the cream of the crop of the Marines, the best the US military has sent into space. What the fuck did Cameron smoke?
>>221125768They're corporate security and most of the people in space in the Alien universe go to space because they're unemployable anywhere on earth.
they're also all replicants
>>221125768>the US militaryNo, retard. Colonial Marines are just rent-a-cops.
>>221125768sarge was pretty badass.
>>221125965
The marines aren't the best? They are just grunts attached to the navy
>>221125768>cream of the cropNo, they're just grunts
>>221125768US military are composed entirely of individuals who had no truly supportive families or flunked out of school.Each member is in it purely for whatever perk is available as military is their only option left.No one goes out of actual choice.So you get teams like these
>>221125768Ferro is cute. Vasquez got some big knockers. No one would mistake her for a man. Dietrich though might be a man.
>>221126605tldr
>>221125768the way things are going it seems pretty generous
>>221125768>These are the cream of the crop of the MarinesSays WHO? Certainly not the film.I am SO SICK of these faggot threads where OP is such a MASSIVE faggot that they impose their own emotional baggage on everything and force everyone else to deal with their stupidity. Fucking go back to plebbit you cunt. It's the future, we currently have Meal Team six serving in current year, and these are the ones who get stuck with deep space duty that means your family is likely dead when you return, and what kind of operations do you THINK they're doing when alien encounters are virtually unheard of?
bill paxton's character is the most retarded and annoying piece of shit ever put on film
>>221125768Jews,women, and browns.Seems pretty accurate.
Vasquez was so fucking hot. I'd happily get pegged by her.
The dialog in the beginning of Aliens is proto-millennial. It tries to hit you over he head with the idea that they're used to this kind of work a bit too hard to the point they loop around to sounding like unprofessional morons. Nu-Trek does this too.
>>221128456You've never been around real soldiers. They gripe and whine all the time. And they are used to doing the same shit, day in and day out, and people like Hudson always making stupid remarks never shutting up and letting you know he's getting out soon so he doesn't want to do anything. Soldiers are not always le delta operators. They're normal joe schmos. And they make it very obvious aliens are not real, they think it's a pointless waste of time joke mission, and that they've been on dozens of these missions where it turns out to just be stupid colonists with broken equipment then they get to hang out for shore leave and fuck colonist's daughters.
>>221125768Mh no, those are just run-of-the-mill grunts.
>>221125768I want those sick jordan's Ripley has on, are those teams?
>>221128839I haven't but I've worked with plenty of schmos doing various shitjobs for big corporations, many of whom had done the same menial task for decades sometimes generations. Even the most uneducated veteran grunt knows the limits, when it's appropriate to be a goofball and when it's not, the ones who don't get filtered out or shouted down fast. Not that that experience is the reason why I dislike the dialog.
Space Marines, they're glorified combat engineers really
>>221127907
>>221129529>killing off all the tall genes in warOnly manlets should be allowed in
>>221129529Damn, US army slowly transforming into chinese one.
>>221126116That is all armies, you fail as blue collar civilian, so you join army to murder people for money on orders of greasy politicians.Or in case of Russian army you'll get grabbed on the street on shipped off to get drone striked so that greasy politician can replace you at home with Asians.
>>221125768Cameron said either in an interview or commentary that he later met real-life marines, and thought they were on average very composed and professional, and that his depiction was closer to Vietnam draft-era Army grunts. I think this is in the Quadrilogy commentary but I'm not sure.
>>221125768Oh it's the cringe woke side of 80's film
>>221129699Anon only the ukranian get vanned, russian just sent their prison stock
>>221125768The original badass brown tomboy though
>>221129701Apone was literally a real life retired marine. He was the one showing them how to act militarily. They were never supposed to be some crack team of spec ops soldiers. They're grunts sent on an easy milk run and don't take it seriously because aliens aren't real and Ripley is a lunatic.
>>221125768I was always under the impression that they were a bad bunch, like who else would work for some shady corporation?
>>221129893The corporation wasn't shady. They treated everyone really well. People were happy on their colonies and enjoyed raising their kids there. They even got rights to things they found, land rights, bonuses and shares. Pretending it was some horrible slave driving murderous entirely evil company was a stupid retcon after the fact
>>221125768Crowe got screwed in the movie for screen time and couldn't even get put in this picture. Shame. At least Wierzbowski is represented. Wish they got more to do in the films before they were offed.
>>221126116Enlisted, sure. Filthy rich nepos often do a military stint as officers to kick off their political careers. Lt Gorman was probably the son of some CEO
>>221128860Reebok Alien Stomper Hithere was a limited edition available in stores when Romulus came out iirc
>>221125978oh yeah, removing everyones ammo bc corporate dicksuck & amateur hour tells him to in the middle of a hive no less
>>221128456zoomers are so retarded lmao
>>221126353Dietrich had a nice dumper
>>221128860>wanting to wear woman's shoestranny
>>221126018>>221126605neither of those says what you think it sayssee where it says "United Americas?" the nation state of the United States doesn't exist outside of its old symbols being used as military decorationthe weyland yutani zaibatsus have replaced the nation state as the paradigm of actual power and the Americas only exist as one large corporate free trade zonethe United States flag patch makes the aliens Marines "American" as much as graham platner or the azov brigade having totenkopfs makes them SS
>>221130896The Sarge and Dietritch ain't dead, man. Their asses are being raped, but they ain't dead!
>>221129864>>221128839>>221128229where did you get the idea that the space marines don't believe in aliens? They talk about Arcturian poontang (implied to be a hermaphroditic species), mock Ripley with "apparently she saw an alien once" (implying it is no big deal), and talk about "another bug hunt" (implying they are sometimes tasked to kill relatively non-threatening aliens). It's only the specific type of alien that Ripley encounter that the Weyland-Yutani woman claims has never been seen before. That woman also remarks that LV-426 has "no indigenous life" which implies that other planets they've explored do have life.
>>221125768Did you miss the part where all the tough guy marines all get killed within 5 minutes of starting their mission because they're all incompetent?Cameron was pretty clever playing around with genre stereotypes like that - taking the typical "bad ass marine" character archetype and then making them all piss their pants in terror as they get brutally murdered by giant space bugs, while the survivors are the untrained woman, a 9 year old girl, a robot, and the 1 marine that wasn't showing off and pretending to be "bad ass" at the start.
>>221125768he was doing lsd all the timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC63BPsx-1s&t=244s
>>221126018That's no different than security guards who wear tactical vests and LARP as cops
>>221125768Its now obvious Cameron is a woman worshiping faggot,
