I know nothing about this except that apparently polchuds seethe over it because it has women and POCs. I really love the first Alien movie. Is this equally kino, or at least good? It's gotten great reviews. Please, no spoilers if you don't mind.

For reference, I think Prometheus had an extremely intriguing premise but fell flat (7/10), Covenant was forgettable outside of Fassbender (4/10), and Romulus was mostly a safe, uninspired retread of the "greatest hits" of the Alien franchise (5/10).

It's not that it has women and POC, it's that they are cast in inappropriate roles and that always comes at the expense of someone else.

Its genuinely a terrible show. You know when people in horror movies do stupid shit that ends up getting them killed? This show is nothing but that. You're watching idiots get killed because they all have an IQ of 25. The worst part is they turn the xenomorph into a pet. No, we're not kidding when we say that. The entire thing feels like its a parody made by the Wayans Bros. Ayy yo, coming this summer its Alien Urf! I kept waiting for Anna Faris to show up

It's better than every single movie except Resurrection. There's actual world building, the xeno isn't the most interesting alien in the story, the allegories to Pan are a little heavy-handed, but yes, it's good. The only people who don't like it are shitskin manchildren who never got tired of the 'theme' of Aliens even though the 'theme' (outside of Insurrection) is that space lions break out of a space zoo and start raping/eating a bunch of space retards.

>>221764848
The only interesting thing about aliens was the jockey and they ruined that with Prometheshit. There's genuinely substance to any aliens movie except Resurrection where the guiding hand of human greed takes the concepts and ramps it up to 100. David is interesting. Other than the MIC of the future trying to weaponize the xenos and David being an insane robot nothing and I mean literally fucking nothing about this series is even slightly interesting. Resurrection just had great action scenes and actually tried to do something nightmarish with the concept.

>I really love the first Alien movie. Is this equally kino, or at least good?

it starts off decent, and has some cool ideas. but it gets progressively worse the longer it goes until it is legitimately terrible.
at it's core it feels like a different sci-fi idea that was forced into the alien IP by the studio and is filled with some of the stupidiest plots and characters i've seen in a big budget 'prestige' show in a long time.

As an actual Hitler worshipping National Socialist, this show was pretty good / great. It simply has a rainbow coalition of cast, it never really tries to shove actual leftist ideology in your face besides that.

Aside from that, the main plot just kinda hinges on some weak mechanics that break down upon critical thinking.

If you're starved for high production value, hard sci-fi / horror, this show is great. I think even the haters admit the bottle episode that takes place entirely in the space ship itself is great. I think the episode is called "In Space No One Can..." or something.

Pretty good series as far as modern television goes, I give an 7.5/10

Alien:Earth has problems that have nothing to do with casting or IDpol, and almost all of them are in the script/story.
I think it's not offensively bad and you could be entertained watching it, but if you like the Alien franchise, you're going to see it as a travesty that squandered the genuinely cool ideas and potential it had in really goofy ways.
It's difficult to criticize it without spoilers, but yeah, I think the writing is retarded at worst, and "not everyone's cup of tea but maybe it somehow tickles you right if you're immature enough" at the absolute best.

It has moments of greatness buried in some of the most bizarre, tonedeaf shit possible. For that reason I find it quite entertaining but never good.
The Xeno is basically an extended cameo and isn't the focus. It feels like another script that was forced to be in the Alien universe.

The main cast are robots with the souls of children in them. That alone should be a massive red flag.

The show is enjoyable to watch in the sense of “how many bad decisions can one production company make?” The plot is utter nonsense, even from the first episode. I have no idea why anyone would think this show was ever good, it starts with a massive space ship crashing into a major city on earth and being largely intact. The entire cast arms themselves to the teeth for what is presumably just rescuing survivors. Utter fucking nonsense and it somehow only gets worse (much, much worse) from there.

Yes, the Giger design was always retarded which is why they could only show it in heavy shadow and in flashing, brief glimpses. As soon as they show it in full light with no cuts, it's just a short man with a long head and becomes comical. The only time the thing is even a threat is when no one knows about it and humans are actively working to make the situation worse. Otherwise, the alien is a joke

Right. Now the black alien is not the only alien ever discovered, it's one of dozens of weird creatures out there.

I don’t mind them introducing other alien species, but the kiddroids fucking suck and so does their “empathy” with the xenomorphs. It’s just fucking stupid.

The biggest problem with it is how obvious that the script was originally written for some original story about the lame Peter Pan robot kids and the whole exploration of AI, mind transfers, cyborgs, etc.
Only for no one wanting to greenlight the thing so they had to mash some Alien in there to call it part of the Alien IP, so it comes off really hacky.

It's more nu-Alien than old. It's more about artificial life than anything.

If you have some autistic obsession about how the setting should be, how aliens should be, etc. like a lot of people in this thread then don't bother.

Overall since you didn't like nu-Alien i'd just give it like 2 episodes. It's a pretty predictable series but it's entertaining IMO.
>>
>>221762814
OK, first off, even before the show started "poltards" were raiding Alien Earth threads, talking about woke this and that, but I'm not really sure it's because of woman or POC. And the show started pretty good, which made these raids even weirder.

There's nothing woke about AE, nothing at all. No political commentary, no ideological discussion... So, what seems to me is that someone payed bots to raid thread disguised as poltards to influence anons. Who? IDK. Doesn't seem like the show is annoying anyone, so it might be interests beyond our understanding (short sellers? competing networks?).

Despite that, is the show good?
No, not really.
It started pretty good, both on the themes, aesthetic, creatures and gore.

Then they clearly run out of money by episode 4 and the show collapsed, they completely changes the narrative to the kids and even the xenomorph took a plunge in the suit/CGI.
Unfortunately, this is quite common in Alien movies, everything takes a lot of money, then some retard makes a mistake and script is forced to take a wild journey.

>>221762814

Since you enjoyed Prometheus more than Covenant, I'll assume you like the lore more than the xenomorph and gore. And if that's the case, I guess you'll see some pretty interesting concepts being introduced to the series in the first half.

Disney changed the director and it's making big promises about world building (takes a lot of money), so hopefully they learned their lesson.

thats what i found interesting. I liked the Boy genius character but he never once demonstrated that he was a genius
>>
i liked Wendy and the Xeno whisperer plot. They should have just focused on her and cut all the other kid characters
>>
this show was kinda fascinating in that me and everyone i knew was hyped for it, and we all watched the first 4 episodes and then just collectively forgot it existed because it was so shit after the first 2 episodes.
there was no discussion of why we dropped it or that we discussed disliking it. we just didn't even remember to watch the following weeks episode and moved on with our lives.

>>221762814
It was fun to watch it, but it didn't stick in my mind, beyond making me think they could've used that talent and budget for something actually inspiring. I also remember the alien looking really goofy with its short limbs, as much as I appreciate them trying to use a real costume for it.
Prometheus and Covenant were not only enjoyable, but also inspiring. Some lorefags were offended by those films because they didn't like the fact that David had a part in engineering the alien, but I don't take these films as some sort of scifi gospel canon. I see the first movie as its own thing. I'm blind to the rest of the Alien universe as I watch it. Aliens is its own thing based on the first film. It may be canon to the Alien universe as I watch it, but nothing is definitive. Same goes for every sequel.
I feel like Alien: Earth tried hard to fit into the canon of the first two films but actually failed at it for a bunch of reasons, whilst failing to inspire me as a piece of science fiction. It's designed as a TV show that keeps people returning to it and waiting for something interesting in the Alien universe.

Because bad writers tell you what a character is.

How is he smart

I really love the first Alien movie. Is this equally kino, or at least good?
Same. No, it is not. I watched for about ten minutes, and that was enough to tell me it wasn't even on the same level as slop.
Alien opened with people, yes, not aliens. But the point of that opening was to make them relatable. To make you identify with them.
AE was not interested in making relatable characters. It was interested in political ideals. This in a series that has had a gift-wrapped abortion metaphor from day one, and, to it's credit and quality, was good enough never to go there.
In ten minutes, I saw enough to understand that this was not a series made for alien fans. This was not a series made for people who like horror. This was not a series made for people who like action. This was, as all series are now, a series made for people who like politics. That quite clearly told me it wasn't worth my time.

Considering that in the expanded material, the idea that if one alien ever reached earth is treated as a kind of apocalyptic doomsday tantamount to nuclear war, typically with the idea they would breed and overwhelm the planet within mere days, this sounds like the series fails to deliver on even the core premise promised by the title alone.

>>221763029
That sounds infuriating.

You know, it's rather telling nobody here seems to be defending it. They are arguing about race for no reason yet again, but nobody is arguing for the series. For those who've seen it, here's a challenge. Tell me something you liked about it. How does it go? 'Even bad books can have good ideas.'

Backgrounds, the white haired android and the cyborg niggah, other than that, the series is utter shit

>the white haired android
I can never remember the actor's name or what he's been in but he plays an asshole really well and always gets cast as one so basically what I'm trying to say is he's totally me.

white haired android was my favourite character too

It was fine. Nothing special, but serviceable enough.

I do like the BTS that most of the facehuggers were practical effects, and they had them on little remote control racecars to give the illusion of speed.

Total franchise cash-in slop on par with other modern Disney like The Force Awakens, their live action remakes, or I assume Doomsday. Ignore anything made after any of the original 4 and you're good. There will never be another Alien movie made with redeeming quality ever again.

Unfortunately not.
I think it starts out really good, but it goes to complete shit, what a shame!

They did this with the latest True Detective season as well

>>221780292
The only two things I liked about the show was Olyphant, he's always good, and kind of the eye. That little bastard caused havoc which was both good and bad for the series. Good that it go rid of annoying, dumb characters. But bad in they shouldn't have been that dumb to begin with

Because that was terrible too

swords come from paper cutters!
I saw it in an edgy movie that also got its facts wrong, but thats all the research I did for my dogshit TV show that was actually going to be my OC project but nobody funded it so I grifted a job with disney and totally fucked up Alien by mashing my half baked ideas into it.

It has nothing to do with politics.

It's an abomination, and insulting honestly. Bad acting, horrible characters, uninteresting setting, terrible plot, just awful in every way and I feel humiliating for watching it. Noah Hawley is a hack that is riding the coattails of Fargo season 1 for way too many years now.
>>
>>221768449
not really memorable or anything, but better than Alien Earth by far. I liked how it embraced some of the stuff from Alien Isolation and was kind of an homage to that game in some ways, but otherwise pretty unremarkable.

Like Alien Earth it suffers because the cast is too young and uninteresting.

the best thing about being a billion dollars worth of cutting edge android is you get no equipment to go on dangerous missions so you have to improvise with a $30 stationary cutter.
luckily the script says its good enough to kill an Alien(TM) so its all fine really

Nobody minds women and niggers in Alien if they are not very obviously shoehorned to put a checkmark on the dei list.
It's just a garbage show, one of the worst in recent years (decades?). You could take the xeno out of it and swap in some generic space monster (like the many extra ones they have in the show) and it would still be the same exact show and it would still be utter garbage all the same.
>It's gotten great reviews.
Who do you think writes those reviews, and on a scale from negative infinity to 10 how much journalistic integrity do you think they have.

The bargain bin Rutger Hauer was kind of all right, though had a ton of wasted potential.
The masque ball scene was genuinely "so bad that it's good" levels of ridiculous and off the wall, and for a second I i thought they were on to something interesting with it. But turns out they played it straight and it was just a badly written bad scene.
The xeno was practical rather than CGI a lot of the time and it didn't look too bad even in full daylight, if we ignore that it's retarded and ruins any mystique and tension to show it in full daylight.
That's about it, and I'm really stretching it here. There is really nothing unquestionably good in this show, nothing you could remember as really good without any "but" attached to it.

Just watch episode 5 and if you really really want to watch episode 1 after. These 2 epsiodes are the most faithful to the Alien series in tone and content.
Chronologically 5 comes before 1 and since episode one begins the moment episode 5 ends you get a nice 90 minute made for tv alien "movie" out of it with some sequel bait at the end.
