It's time to discuss Alien and why the latest Alien movie can't top a mediocre 90s movie
please consult pic related if you will
>>222317556>Alien GoymulusEmpty fan service. Dialogue full of clunky exposition and ESL writing from that retarded spic filmmaker. Ugly visuals. Laughable deepfake android. Worthless movie. Badly edited to boot, as half the shots feel too short, like it was made for TikTok-brained teenagers. Scott may be a senile retard, but at least his movies are edited for normal people.
>>222318946It’s a shame, because it checked most of the boxes >tactile environment>solid practical effects>sweaty female protagonist>steam>small twist on xeno If they had just cut all the fanservice it would have been really solid.
>>222317556Prometheus and Covenant were the start of movies trying to be THEMES and MESSAGES instead of being a good movie. Romulus is PG13 Alien, because apparently that is what the world was missing
>>222316960name?
>>222319838Alien 3. Fucking awesome movie until everyone starts dying for like 2 hours straight
>>222319874Oh yeah, they used a shitty sock puppet for the alien too
>>222316960>>222317556alien 3 and alien: alien covenant are the best alien movies other than the original
>>222319874ah I thought this was a normal movieI don't watch super hero flicks
for me, it's >Alien>Aliens
>>222320112>super hero flick
>>222320248what?
>>222316960>>222317556We need a new Alien vs Predator to save both franchises.
>>222320325Alien is as far from a super hero flick as you can be.
>>222316960Only good thing to come out of the alien franchise in the last 20 years was Isolation, wich isn’t even a movieIMO they went off a deep end with the albino aliens and black goo shit nobody except fandom nerds cares or asked forI mean they spent like the last three movies building up this lame origin story ffs
>>222320451he knows that. he's just being obtuse
>>222316960I still get a boner from that Alien v. Predator clip of an Alien pumping its load into a pregnant woman's' stomach.
>>222320516>I mean they spent like the last three movies building up this lame origin story ffsclassic horror movie mistake. nobody really gives a shit about the monsters, the characters are the interesting part
>>222320516Aliens in Isolation behave like generic video game guards and nothing like the movies
>>222320451explain to me how arnold isn't a super hero in this franchise like clark kent is in superman thenUSING YOUR OWN WORDS
>>222320592Not worth addressing your reply.
>>222320624I accept your concession.
>>222320592Arnold isn’t in any alien movie. Thats how zoom zoom
>they swim now!?what would happen if a face hugger laid an egg inside a shark or a dolphin ?
Only Scott films are canon btw.And Aliens is the worst of the non-canon films by far (haven't watched Romulus though).
>>222320785sharks don't have lungs
>>222321366Romulus is actually good if you aren't a filtered old man upset for wasting your prime
>>222321420Romulus was made by pedos for pedos. Nobody was asking for an Alien movie about children. That idea could only come from higher ups in Hollywood.
>>222316960The only thing wrong with Alien 3 is the butchered retarded plot. Everything else about it is pure SOVL.
>>222321420It's competently made, looks good, but is forgettable because the characters are uninteresting and what is the story? I can't even remember. At least Covenant for its flaws had the continuation of David's plot which was interesting. Romulus just felt empty.
>>222321524There are no children in the movie retard>>222321570I can say the same thing for the original movie lol. Who was literally anybody?
>>222321524>>222321570angry boomers are clockwork atp
>>222320119thisdon't even need to watch the rest, they're just disappointments
>>222321806lol
>>222321618Nah, Alien gives due effort to fleshing out the characters and showing them bantering and goofing off, it all feels very natural but isn't overdone, it's just there to establish them as real people whose fate you care about. The story is so simple and well structured, punctuated with highly impactful setpieces, that you can't help but remember the film. Romulus, who are these characters? Who cares? I cared about the android but that's about it.
>>222321882>I'll say Nah so I don't come off as being too oldI literally have no idea what the name of the guy is who even gets his chest blown open. You can pretend it's better all you want but your reasoning makes no sense
>>222321882>I cared about the fake black guy but that's about itThe insecure boomer psyche needs to be studied
>>222321882>I cared about the android but that's about itPrometheus and Covenant is basically the David show in my memory. Same with what you said about Romulus, the only interesting character is the robot.
Romulus is good. Andy is kino. The girls are hot. The story is decent. All round good film.
>>222316960Nothing new can top a midrange 90s movie. Fg Blade is better than everything they make today. Notting Hill is a masterpiece of romantic fiction by comparison. Something mid+ like Fight Club is on a level they can't even attain today.
>>222322051So good the director isn't allowed to touch Alien again.Alien 3 had a skeleton crew of prisoners running an industrial planet megastructure, so vast they can't even map it, because they're part of a millenarian Christian Doomsday cult. It runs rings around Romulus on premise alone. You could make a whole other movie or three out of it. What can you do with Romulus' plot?
>>222316960i agree with the sentiment, but Alien 3 was the second best Alien film after the first. tough pill to swallow, but:Alien > Alien 3 > Aliens > Prometheus >>>>> the rest in order
