🎥 Alien: Romulus

[rigid yoke]

we've already had so many tho

The clones and the newborn in Resurrection, and now the Zuckermorph

[dusky rose]

https://fxtwitter.com/raincarradines/status/1825343750442492297

[rigid yoke]

why the fuck did they look like dusty assholes in Covenant

[upbeat flare]

I kinda have this feeling that Romulus was Resurrection plot for Big Chap instead Ripley because his clones are way different than Isolation ones

[dusky rose]

Because the Prometheus Engineer is a goat

[rigid yoke]

I feel like the writers don't even understand their own lore

[dusky rose]

Well it’s just because there’s so many hands on it

And each person has their own ideas and version of the lore

[upbeat flare]

So what you think about Big Chap clones Cheddy?

[rigid yoke]

thought they were pretty cool. Well designed, very imposing

great sound design

[dusky rose]

I felt that element was a bit underdeveloped

[upbeat flare]

The music score?

[upbeat flare]

The xenos?

[rigid yoke]

the music was ok, was mostly just recycled motifs from the other movies

im talking about the sound itself

reminded me of Isolation

[dusky rose]

Yes

The main one was cool and imposing always there

But the others were just sort of around

[dusky rose]

Best sound design for a space movie in recent memory

[upbeat flare]

Oh Scorched 😯

Now we see wasn’t a flamethrower that give the scar on the dome head

[dusky rose]

I know I was like 😮 ohh we thought wrong

And that led to the coolest kill

[upbeat flare]

Yeah

[upbeat flare]

Cheddy when Scorched captures Rain when she was falling down does xenomorphs do like immobilize his prey and preparing to be pregnant by a facehugger?

[rigid yoke]

Thats what it was doing, but it felt weird.... he was like, strangely gentle about it

[upbeat flare]

I was like 😦 “wait wait due the host DNA did Scorched gained some memories from Navarro the first girl who die from the Chestbuster”

Idk if that’s a canon element but I saw that on Aliens Dust to Dust comic book where the main character’ mother give birth a xenomorph but strangely the creature gained the memories from the mother and decided to protect the son instead following orders from a queen

[dusky rose]

That’s what I thought the one at the end was gonna do

[rigid yoke]

thats strange

[dusky rose]

I thought it was gonna team(?) or help the humans

[rigid yoke]

I dont like the idea of xenos helping

[dusky rose]

What about when they’re offspring of a human

Like straight from the womb

Not chestburster

[upbeat flare]

I remember the xenos holding their prey and waiting for the facehugger on Aliens Vs Predator 2010 video game but violently aggressive not peacefully

[upbeat flare]

Yeah 😦 since they are parasitic organisms they can manage to do that??

[upbeat flare]

I think the Offspring recognize her mother but due the DNA mutation his animalistic nature and behavior took control

[granite sequoia]

You know who does team up with humans to kill Xenos...

[granite sequoia]

💯

[high gulch]

nonchalant dreadhead

[dusky rose]

Maybe the planet Rain is going to The Predator will be there

Team up

[high gulch]

and they kill a xenomorph 😨

[granite sequoia]

not one...

[rigid yoke]

I say.... no

Unless its a situation like Resurrection where the Queen has human DNA

[granite sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/avp-bringiton-gif-7235546

[high gulch]

how does that occur 😨

[rigid yoke]

I hate that trope in horror movies "Rmember who you were, monster!!"

MonsterL "I.... I REMEMBER"

https://tenor.com/view/nemesis-stars-resident-evil3-biohazard-umbrella-gif-25024644

[upbeat flare]

Ohhhh noooo RE Apocalypse

[high gulch]

when was the last time we got a predator movie

[granite sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/perfect-organism-alien-android-robot-gif-22346847

[high gulch]

how long ago did prey come out

[upbeat flare]

You also think the hybrid did recognize her mother?

[granite sequoia]

2 years

[high gulch]

one of the most iconic scenes in this movie and they dont bring him back for any sequels 😢

[rigid yoke]

In Romulus and Resurrection I think they recognize their m other

Romulus seems to have a deleted scene where the Zuckermorph breast feeds from its mother. You can see alien goop leaking from her chest

[high gulch]

in resurrection the thing recognised ripley

[upbeat flare]

In the comic book

[high gulch]

the romulus one was more handsome

[high gulch]

fucking hell that would have been unsettling

[granite sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/sigourney-weaver-alien-resurrection-baby-gif-13276794

[high gulch]

it mimicking a human baby 😨😨

[high gulch]

ugly fucker

why cant these things ever look good

[upbeat flare]

Let’s hope the Blu-ray release includes that scene 😁

[rigid yoke]

Yeah, i think since they went weird with the final act they should've gone WHOLE HOG with the fucked up and disturbing

[granite sequoia]

I was fr thinking that was gonna happen knowing Fede but I guess the mouse said NO.. NOOO

[rigid yoke]

I feel like putting a human face on the end of an elongated head would have looked freaky

kind of like this

[high gulch]

why would he have that many teeth

also implies his brain is extremely long

[granite sequoia]

to chew bubblegum

and kick ass

[high gulch]

virtually no jawline

he needs to chew some more gum look at that jaw wtf

[upbeat flare]

The fun fact is the human hybrid was actually a real person into a makeup an 24 years old former Romanian basketball player Robert Bobroczkyi

[granite sequoia]

they all out of bubblegum sadly

[high gulch]

no gum in the very distant future

is elon musk weyland 😨😨

[granite sequoia]

Most likely

Or maybe a descendant

[rigid yoke]

Seeing Musk get smacked with an android's dismembered head would be pretty amusing

[upbeat flare]

To be honest the villains from Romulus had great potential to return
Big Chap evolved into a Queen
Ash being the station mainframe core
Android workers who served for Ash

I think Fede didn’t wanted to be like full Aliens

Just a movie that manage to be a return to form

[rigid yoke]

Yeah. I think if you removed the fanservice it would be a legit great movie

as is for me its simply "very good"

[upbeat flare]

You also believe Big Chap clones were acting just like him in the Nostromo? They awake just right after the human characters ship crashed into the Romulus hangar

Less aggressive and more curious

[dusky rose]

We’re gonna need a bigger ship

[rigid yoke]

The singular alien was definitely less aggressive

but the pack of them were kind of in between

they definitely could've bumrushed the people at any times and killed most of them but they held back

[upbeat flare]

You saw his scar was sparkling right

[rigid yoke]

think i missed that

[upbeat flare]

Oh

This is what my cousin warned me the first time

[granite sequoia]

[granite sequoia]

https://images2.imgbox.com/27/c9/QlUZiONV_o.png

😂

[upbeat flare]

And already beat it’s budget

[upbeat flare]

I kinda glad the characters aren’t that stupid like Prometheus and Covenant just regular and desperate people who want a better life rather working at a shitty company

[rigid yoke]

Funny how a bunch of malnourished 20 somethings were smarter than elite crews of specialists

[upbeat flare]

yeah

[granite sequoia]

Its called "movie logic"

[small fulcrum]

I just don't understand why they couldn't have gotten a different actor to play him

[rigid yoke]

The people in Covenant and Prometheus were dumb as fuck

Like way dumber than most slasher protagonists are

Covenant functions almost entirely off the humans being stupid

[small fulcrum]

We're all adults, we understand people need to be recast especially if they're not around anymore

It doesn't ruin the movie

[vivid cobalt]

Humans being humans

[upbeat flare]

At least Prometheus have helmets and protection equipment but once they enter the temple and considered inside breathable I was like “ohhh I wouldn’t do that if I was them what if is toxic”

[small fulcrum]

Every single time they've tried this "bring actor back from the dead" shit it always looks off or goes poorly

[granite sequoia]

The director wanted Ian Holm the family agree so yeah it happened nothing to really "understand"

[rigid yoke]

"We heard a song coming from a planet. Lets stop our entire colonizing operation to take a massive risk for it, without approval from the company, because the captain is religious and has faith in it."

"We found the planet has breathable atmospehre. Better not wear helmets or protection from potentially harmful life forms AT ALL."

"I just saw a robot try to make out with a monster that ripped my lady friend's HEAD OFF. Better let him take me to an egg and stick my fucking head inside of it."

[vivid cobalt]

Each Android gets two movies

[upbeat flare]

Yeah I didn’t have issues but he could be used wayyy better and only using his voice

[high gulch]

considering the alien franchise was in shambles after covenant, romulus was a great way to remind people what was great about the franchise

[rigid yoke]

This guy is the biggest fucking idiot I think i've ever seen in a movie. Like the shit he did was even dumber than Charlize Theron running away from a donut in a straight line

[high gulch]

fucking hell that was funny as shit

just run right or left 😭😭😭

[vivid cobalt]

Coming from people who panic in the Drive-Thru line

[upbeat flare]

funny scene

[high gulch]

jesus was supposed to be an engineer 😨

😭

the alien prequels could have been done much better

[rigid yoke]

yeah I kinda hate them

[upbeat flare]

Idk if Romulus closes the half baked plot from both Prometheus and Covenant but extracting the creatures DNA in order to make the job easier for them kinda makes since

Since the xenos are aggressive and kills most of the scientists

[high gulch]

need a xenomorph pet

[rigid yoke]

I NEED confirmation that David didn't invent the xenomorph

they keep that thread dangling and I hate it so much

[upbeat flare]

I thought Fede would include Razor Claws into the plot

[vivid cobalt]

I think the whole point is humans caused it

[high gulch]

if he did then alien vs predator doesnt work

[high gulch]

like every other bad thing

[upbeat flare]

AVP is non canon

[vivid cobalt]

I think Ridley believes himself that humans aren't getting off of Earth without genetic changes

[high gulch]

i think ridley scott just pulls thing from his ass and says its canon

[rigid yoke]

Same

He doesnt seem to understand his own IP

[vivid cobalt]

Director not a storyteller

I think I get the gist of it

That's all I need

[rigid yoke]

In my headcannon the Engineers discovered the xenos in deep space and studied them, finding the black goop which is essentially a highly manipulable accelerant for being able to create custom bio weapons

[high gulch]

he def did not come up with the engineers in 1979

[rigid yoke]

I still despise the idea that the Space Jockeys are actually just giant humanoids in stupid suits

[vivid cobalt]

An alien race that controlled genetics

[rigid yoke]

but I can accept it if we dont go with David literally inventing the xenos

[vivid cobalt]

And then humans that just fucked with it

Not understanding it at all

[high gulch]

did he just take that from all tomorrows 😭😭

[vivid cobalt]

I can tell you he does not believe in Jesus

[upbeat flare]

Not fully CGI but this guy on makeup😦

[high gulch]

one of the first drafts for gladiator 2 was about to be about maximus coming back to life and killing jesus

[upbeat flare]

Cheddy there’s coming a prequel comic book maybe they will show us how Big Chap awakes and kills most of the scientists

[high gulch]

marvel 😨

[upbeat flare]

I wish we could see him as the real antagonist but is fine at least we saw his clones or descendants roaming around

[high gulch]

if he was alive then the crew would have gotten wiped out as soon as they entered

[upbeat flare]

Yeah now Alien comic books are gonna have Marvel label instead Dark Horse

[high gulch]

he’d hear the noise and stuff and check it out

[upbeat flare]

Mhmm I don’t think so since in the first movie he wasn’t acting highly aggressive but more curious about the environment because there was no Queen or Nest to protect

[high gulch]

fair

[rigid yoke]

I wanna see the Zuckermorph attack some Engineers

[high gulch]

oh my god theres a book on jonesy

$13.46

i need this

[rigid yoke]

Thats the official name of the Zuckermorph?

[granite sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/creepy-gif-9410233

[rigid yoke]

It would probably be convoluted but I think it would be neat if we found out the Space Jockeys were legit

and the Engineers simply worship them and maybe functioned as a sort of worker-class for the Space Jockeys

It would explain why the Engineers wear pilot outfits that have features of a living thing with teeth and all that

And it would also fix the retcon that the dead body in Alien is just a big man in a funny outfit

[granite sequoia]

I like that

I dont like engineers

for some reason i want to burn them with a flamethrower more than a Xeno

[rigid yoke]

Like imagine we find an Engineer outpost and come into the room and they're all kneeling and worshiping something...then a fucking Space Jockey lumbers into frame

Yeah, the whole "the space jockey is actually an egineer" twist was like swapping out a steak for a hot dog

bait and switches only work if the switch is as interesting as the bait

[granite sequoia]

That would explain why one rogue AI could wipe a planet from Engineers like they were idiots... they just the working and worshiping masses also ties perfectly with the Engineer sacrifice at the start of Prometheus, could symbolize that they even offer themselves for sacrifice like a worshiping space cult.

[rigid yoke]

Seeding planets in the name of their living gods

I've ALWAYS wanted to see a xeno that came from a Space Jockey

Something like this but more badass

I drew this

[granite sequoia]

WOW!!! That is fucking awesome!

Dope af design...

🙏

Would love to see something like that

[rigid yoke]

Thank you kindly 😄

[spiral jetty]

IMO It was only one of the engineer planets
They seemed too happy to finally see a ship

[rigid yoke]

It was either one of their planets or one of the planets they successfully seeded

[spiral jetty]

there is no way it was their main planet
they looked like villagers living in medieval europe

[vivid cobalt]

def got me wanting to do a chronological rewatch of em all

[upbeat flare]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-heart-smile-dancing-dance-gif-7755465364606331886

[upbeat flare]

Any thoughts Cheddy?

[zinc willow]

He said he wants to do Grindhouse style where he directs the Alien side while Trachenberg does the Predator half

[vivid cobalt]

It's a hell of a start, it could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team

[rigid yoke]

I dunno. I think AvP is fun but I dont think it works with canon

If the Engineers worshipped the Space Jockeys and modelled their technology to look like the Space Jockeys, it would totally fit with the theme of creatures seeking their creators and ultimately trying to destroy them

like what if the Engineers turned on the Space Jockeys and thats why we never see them alive

the black goo could've been instrumental in the space war between them

Fuck, I should write a fanfic

[upbeat flare]

[granite sequoia]

fucking reddit lmao

[carmine rover]

I can understand that for sure. But I personally felt giddy when CGI Rook was added and when Andy said that line. It's stupid, for sure, but it's fan service I liked.

Wow, people are super harsh with this film.

[dusky rose]

https://t.co/ygY0qOl7yB

[finite trellis]

Engineers pretty much were indirectly responsible for the Xenomorphs.

[proud creek]

Fan service was a bit off. It would’ve been enough if he just said, “get away from her”. The production is impressive but at first I will say I liked Ian Holmes up until the close up shots came up. It kinda sucks because it spoils one of the cooler unexpected element of Alien (1979).

If you recall they also used the black goo as a sacrificial ritual drink. Goo created the existence of humans with the rebinding of strands into DNA… it’s crazy yea but I assume it would somewhat work vice versa considering Wayland was already manipulating the goo to benefit humans and as a result those formulas kinda did the complete opposite and restructured a “stronger” human more akin to the engineers.

This is from memory so I do have a bit of a vague memory. Still love the visuals of Prometheus and this one was such as nice natural closing gap between the two films. Specifically the advanced hybrid of the 1979 spacesuit with the Prometheus looking helmet and tight attire.

I still think the supplement material should’ve been reincorporated with the main feature.

Should’ve been like the MGS4 intro. Nice way to slowly ease you into this sci-fi world.

[ionic osprey]

not gonna lie the way he said "get away from her you bitch" made me laugh

in a good way

[high gulch]

Hold on. Could you elaborate on your point about the CGI dead actor? I’m curious to know why you think he looks like shit.

[rigid yoke]

Its just the worst effects i've really ever seen for a CGI actor or de-aging. The dimensions of his face looked totally wrong, it has a horribble uncanny feel. Maybe because I saw it in Imax it was more obvious, but it really looked absolutely horrible. When he was in the little video calls it looked like a PS3 videogame, the movement of the mouth was totally off

Reminded me of the CGI lip on Superman

[forest tangle]

Thinking about it more and more I'm just very disappointed in this film

The Xenomorph feels more like a side character in the film, and that is not a good thing

If you took out the stupidity that is the CGI android and replaced most of the characters and also limited the number of visible Aliens in the film it would be 10× better

Not to mention that the two British guys are incomprehensible to understand to a certain extent

[placid thistle]

Just came out of the theater, i really enjoyed this one

It was a fun space thriller that utilizes the Alien concept well

A little too fan-servicy at moments but not too distracting

[placid thistle]

Pretty sure the xenomorph has more screen time in this than in the original

[upbeat flare]

Niceee

[molten storm]

Where does the franchise even go from here? If it’s going back to its roots with horror. How many variations of this same story can you get?

[winged bear]

Well, we're getting Alien Earth next year

So we'll see

[molten storm]

I hope it doesn’t suck. Usually movies that turn into tv shows kinda suck

[upbeat flare]

The concept sounds horrible on Earth even more if is another prequel

[winged bear]

Meh

We'll see

Can't judge anything yet

[molten storm]

Finna be another alien vs predator crossover😂 that’s like the only time the xenomorph was on earth

[upbeat flare]

I mean AVP franchise is a non canon

[molten storm]

Would be funny if they made a little reference😂

[upbeat flare]

From which movie?

[molten storm]

The AVP movies lol

[upbeat flare]

Ohhh yeah but is a separate alternative franchise

[gusty zinc]

You couldn’t understand their accents???🤣🤣shame

[orchid thorn]

3.5/5

Great performances, sound design, cinematography, and visual effects are held back by a lackluster script.

Oh and it's not very scary.

[granite sequoia]

That review is 3.5/5

A great first line with proper vocabulary and great sense of appreciation is held back by a terrible second line that just goes "Oh and it's not very scary."

Like that was not super subjective and not really something necessary for it to be good... lol.

[granite sequoia]

Just wait... One day... One day... Fede will make us proud again with a new sequel to AvP...

[forest tangle]

I'm lit British and I couldn't understand them

[forest tangle]

I've misphrased it but I feel like the Xenomorph is so inconsequential within the overall film it just feels ridiculous

The small face huggers feel like more of an overall threat in the path of the characters

I think they do a poor job of emulating the 'multiple' aliens type aspect of 'Aliens' whilst also trying to maintain the look and feel of the original

[granite sequoia]

Same as @dusky rose lol

[forest tangle]

I don't blame them lmao

Idk if it was something to do with the sound mixing but I could not make them out

Try as I might

[rigid yoke]

It was a little awkward with how there is one alien that bursts out of that girl and we follow it as it grows and becomes a major threat

then they go to a new area and its just like "oh theres also like 12 other xenos running around"

Im not sure what the solution would be but it felt awkward

it kind of harms the tension introduced by the single alien earlier on

It would have been nice to see a xeno just tear into a person too

I loved all the blood and gore in Alien 3 when it attacked

seeing the Dragon's face covered in blood looks so awesome

Fede confirmed there’s a Easter egg involving Ripley

I think that’s her ship just passing by

The babys father is bjorn

Nvm im late

[upbeat flare]

[opaque pumice]

Theres a theory that it carried over from an early draft of the script where bjorn wasnt a cousin

[upbeat flare]

Ohhh

[opaque pumice]

Btw if we do get a sequel

Im hoping andy dosent die

Man became my fav character in the franchise in the span of 1 movie

[upbeat flare]

Let’s hope we get a sequel even a AVP revival

[opaque pumice]

If they do make a new avp

I hope

It dosent have any humans in it

[obsidian tusk]

that sure is something.

[upbeat flare]

@zinc willow take a closer look 👆

[zinc willow]

Oh I noticed when I saw it in IMAX!

[upbeat flare]

So Out of Shadows is no longer non canon? 🤔

[zinc willow]

I believe that is the case. So it begs the question why it wasn't Ash even more

[upbeat flare]

Is the novel good because to recommend Cheddar

[zinc willow]

Novel is great. I would suggest the audio drama honestly because the production on it is really well done

[upbeat flare]

Could the real Alien sequel if was made into a movie

Would the perfect trilogy
Alien
Alien Out of Shadows
Aliens (the real Alien 3 and conclusion)

And Alien Romulus would be the Evil Dead Rise type for the franchise

[upbeat flare]

I gonna order the novel on my Amazon I’m very interested

Yeah this makes sense @dusky rose @granite sequoia @rigid yoke @spark falcon I was also scared that Scorched was going to be a good Xenomorph 😅

[granite sequoia]

When dude can't decide whether to give compliments or insult the movie lmao...

Make up your mind mf

[spark falcon]

I was wondering about that part. The xenomorph was like, "don't worry. I got you girl"

[granite sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-kiss-aliens-comedy-gif-11263255

[upbeat flare]

Yeah 😦 the only good Xenomorph I saw was from a comic book named Aliens Dust to Dust where the main character mother gives birth a Chestbuster but strangely gained the motherhood behavior from her host and tries to protect the young boy

https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Anne_Cregar's_Xenomorph

[winged bear]

It's pretty self-explanatory why the alien caught her

Their goal is reproduction

Can't do that with dead bodies

[upbeat flare]

They can Shin 😅 using dead corpses to make more facehuggers eggs

[winged bear]

Not really what I'm talking about though

[upbeat flare]

https://youtu.be/EayBZF4fjeA?si=NwlEk1xjXQuC1oyg

Is called Egg Morphing

[winged bear]

Yes I know

[upbeat flare]

The concept doesn’t sound bad 🤔 even if they don’t have a queen the creatures are able to reproduce

[winged bear]

I'm saying facehuggers do not interact with dead bodies after hatching, and the xenos in Romulus primarily are looking for bodies for more xenos

[upbeat flare]

Ohhh yeah true

[spark falcon]

Nah man, the xenomorph caught her because they're best friends

[winged bear]

That's a fun headcanon

Zero gravity sequence living in my head rent-free btw

[upbeat flare]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-space-necroposting-zero-gravity-floating-isaac-clarke-gif-26875137

[upbeat flare]

I would love to see Xenos swimming in Zero Gravity

[winged bear]

I don't think we'll ever get a live-action Dead Space as the title is too niche but

Fede would be a good fit for it

[upbeat flare]

Heyyy I just made a Dead Space-ish movie list😁

https://boxd.it/yaH7G

There’s not much but is something 🤔

[spark falcon]

But you know what I didn't like about that part? When the elevator falls she escapes it so easily but it should have showed better how she dodges the elevator because they don't really show it so it feels like she just gets lucky. Like she should have had to dodge it and find a place to hide but instead she just magically doesn't get hit by the falling elevator. That is why people are complaining this movie has too many convenient things like that. For me it is still 4.5 amazing movie. The things like that don't bother me that much. But I get other people are more bothered.

[orchid thorn]

A lot of people are saying it tried to take from Alien and Aliens and I totally get that. First half feels very Alien but it devolves into pure action for a lot of Act 2

[zinc willow]

Wait. Ship crashing into the atmosphere of a planet is literally Out of the Shadows. So yes, I think it is officially canon. It was already but it is nice to see visual representation

Just listened to the audio drama yesterday and I can't suggest reading it when that is there. The VA for Ripley sounds near exact the entire time, except for some moments where she had to stretch her voice. It is excellent tho

I need to rewatch Romulus now

[zinc willow]

Yes, that has to be the Narcissus, which Ripley goes through a whole adventure with the crew aboard the Marion and the mine on LV-178. Really great read/listen. Audible has the whole Canon trilogy as large scale production audio dramas

[tacit rapids]

This movie was perfect

I don’t get ppl calling the callbacks goofy

Everyone in my theatre including myself enjoyed them, especially the classic Ripley line

[pine bison]

this movie was absolutely disgusting

[upbeat flare]

Soooo it actually happened 👀

Oh boy we need Out of the Shadows adaptation

[viscid void]

Watched it in imax , was very good but wished i had rewatched the previous ones before cuz i don’t remember them at all so it was kind of hard to recall the references

I wanted to ask can the xenomprphs clone themselves like how did so many of them cane at the end

[upbeat flare]

Yeah it can be cloned if they capture of them for example the ones from this movie are Big Chap’ clones the original creature from the first

[viscid void]

So they were cloned from the one that was produced from kay right?

[upbeat flare]

No, the company manage to capture the first creature that was floating into space the one that Ripley kick out from her escape shuttle of the first movie, they manage to extract his DNA to create more facehuggers which are more genetically modified and that’s how they got the black goo

[viscid void]

Ohh so is it shown in one of the prequels?

[upbeat flare]

Yeah Prometheus and Alien Covenant

[viscid void]

Ohhh

I should have watched these before

I might watch em now

[upbeat flare]

Yeah before Romulus you had to try Prometheus and Alien Covenant

[viscid void]

Also if there are clones of them in the prequels, why was there only one of them in original alien or am i forgetting something

[upbeat flare]

They exist Cloned Xenomorphs like the ones from Alien Resurrection

[viscid void]

No but where were the clones in alien 1

[upbeat flare]

Never, just one which was naturally born

[viscid void]

So that’s what i am wondering if the prequels had clones in the ship , where were they in the og

[upbeat flare]

The prequels only feature how they were made the creatures and Covenant shows the first organic type xenomorph named Protomorph

[viscid void]

So basically it was never shown how they got into the ship in this one?

[upbeat flare]

Ohhh you mean a prequel for Romulus, well a comic book will come

But I got two theories

1. After the Nostromo android Ash send the location of the planet, Weyland might send the Romulus station to extract the floating xenomorph and capturing some facehuggers from the derelict ship

2. After capturing Big Chap the scientists extract his DNA in order to make artificial generically facehuggers like they were printed

[dusky rose]

https://fxtwitter.com/20thcentury/status/1827405514675765535

[viscid void]

Oh alright i thought there was some context about this in some other movie but i guess there will be another movie thatll be set between alien 1 and romulus now

[dusky rose]

https://fxtwitter.com/20thcentury/status/1827043125543469228

[upbeat flare]

@dusky rose this should be in the original cut so we could see the black goo is capable to create real human xenomorphs hybrids

[rigid yoke]

Can't believe Ridley Scott decided to just go with a zombie guy instead

Like every choice he made for Prometheus about the original script was a bad one

Fifeld being all folded up when they find him was also a reference to the OG script of Alien where the xeno could fold itself up

[upbeat flare]

That would make more sense into the plot for the movie and more for Romulus

[upbeat flare]

Who did the reshoots and rewrites expect of Scott

[rigid yoke]

Damon Lindelof did the rewrite of the Alien: Engineers script that turned it into Prometheus, because Ridley Scott wanted to remove most of the elements from Alien to make Prometheus "more its own thing"

but then later changed his mind and had them plug in more Alien stuff anyway

which is why the script is so messy and so many things don't make any sense

Its not Lindelof's fault though. I used to hold it against him but he's a legit good writer, all the changes were DIRECT requests by Scott

Mickey, if you've never read it: https://www.avpgalaxy.net/files/scripts/script-alien-engineers-spaihts.pdf

[upbeat flare]

For a second i almost start to hate Lindelof

[upbeat flare]

I didn’t know that deleted scene with Fifeld actually exists on home video but woow a great big mistake from Ridley Scott

When I was watching it I was like “if Ridley include this scene into the final product it would make more sense how this black goo can create human xenomorph hybrids”

[rigid yoke]

In this script the Engineers made the xenos... not fucking David

[upbeat flare]

Scott obsession with AI

[upbeat flare]

Cheddy you said the Chestbusters from Romulus grow extremely faster right 🤔

[rigid yoke]

They grow pretty darn fast... the whole gestation and growth of chestbursters has been super fast in every movie after 3 it seems like

[upbeat flare]

I think this info that I found last night might help you

https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Facehugger_(Renaissance)

[rigid yoke]

Makes sense, they definitely looked different in Romulus

less bony looking, darker

[upbeat flare]

I literally thought they were Royal Facehuggers that carries a Queen embryo because they have the similar color

[dusky rose]

So the next movie could follow from Covenant

unofficial concept design

This is 30 minutes in photoshop

Though an embossed steel cover would be cool

[marsh yoke]

the rook hate is getting annoying, I understand where they're getting at but ian holms estate actually wants it, and they're glad hes back

the cgi was decently executed and I liked how he was used in the film

[granite sequoia]

I personally did not mind it at all but yeah seems like ppl had very strong opinions about it.

[jolly solar]

Read Somewhere Alien Romulus is a "Great Alien Album sung by a Cover band"

[granite sequoia]

Translation pls?

Does that meant to be a joke about the fanservice?

At least it also has a story unlike other fanservice movies made nowadays...

[rigid yoke]

The only thing I want from a follow-up to Covenant is retconning the plot point that a fucking android invented the xenomorph

[jolly solar]

Its a pretty good alien movie done well

fucking. love. this.

[rigid yoke]

I kind of prefer the face design from covenant

Romulus has the AVP thing where the corners of the mouth go WAAAAY back and the cheeks consist of semitransparent goopy strings

I prefer the Big Chap type design with the shallower, human-like mouth as opposed to a sort of long'ass dinosaur mouth

[upbeat flare]

I’m like is he a “Domed warrior” from AVP

Is so confused the first time I was thinking if was a real warrior

Cheddy are you gonna buy Scorched?

Should we call these ones as “Cloned Drones”?? Just like Cloned Warriors from Resurrection

[tacit rapids]

Romulus

Peak

[jolly berry]

Just watched it last night, it was pretty good!

It had some really interesting ideas in it

Like getting through the floating xeno blood was cool and raising the temperature in the room to not let the face huggers see you was cool.

[rigid yoke]

I don't have any space for more figures these days x.x

[upbeat flare]

Isn’t like based on the comic book Predator: 1718?

[jolly berry]

Can we talk about Andy saying the "Get away from her, you bitch" line? It was a funny callback, but it felt super out of character for him, I felt

[rigid yoke]

Might be, I don't remember that one.

[rigid yoke]

It was terrible.

Honestly, that line and the CGI Rook dropped the movie from "loved" to "liked a lot" for me

[upbeat flare]

I found Romulus fan service quite better than RE Welcome to Raccoon City and Apocalypse

[rigid yoke]

I hate awkward fan service that breaks the tone of things and essentially is talking to the audience

[jolly berry]

CGI Rook didn't look very good, but I think I was okay with it

[rigid yoke]

I hated how it looked, hated how it quoted Ash from Alien multiple times

[spiral jetty]

will the predator be drinking tea

[upbeat flare]

Ohhhh Cheddy, last night my uncle watch RE reboot and he almost have a emotional damage “Why this movie is written like that”

[jolly berry]

I also kind of had it spoiled. I didn't know for sure it would be him, but I'd heard that they brought back a dead actor through CGI in the movie, so I assumed it would be him

[upbeat flare]

https://tenor.com/view/wendy-tea-gif-4951376

[rigid yoke]

turning impactful movie lines into recycled referential gags really pisses me off. Ash's line of "i wont lie to you about your chances..." is literally my favorite cinematic quote of all time, so it really pissed me off to see it lazily recycled as a meta gag

https://tenor.com/view/captain-america-i-understood-that-reference-look-back-gif-14556485

Felt like Disney MCU bullshit

[upbeat flare]

Rook/Ash have so much potential for his development but if I was Fede I rather use just his voice and making a evil mainframe core

For the plot

[rigid yoke]

it makes no damn sense as it is. If Weyland was trying to fool people by embedding synths in their missions like in Alien, why would they use the same damn synth face and voice multiple times?

Nobody is going to notice that the same guy is appearing multiple times?

[upbeat flare]

You think adding Android workers like Isolation could do it better than Rook and Andy?

[rigid yoke]

Or just an android with a different face. I feel like the creepy Isolation synths should be exclusive to that other corporation, while Weyland Yutani is still making the realistic ones

[upbeat flare]

Ohhh yeah I remember the Isolation ones are from Seegson 😦

And Weyland brought the entire company and using the Sevastopol as lab rats

Cheddar I thought Romulus was going to feature a Razor Claws or a Alien King 😔

[rigid yoke]

It would be neat to have a movie where the xenos break out of like an animal testing lab, full of earth and also non-earth animals

[upbeat flare]

Like the outbreak of Aliens Vs Predator (2010)

[upbeat flare]

[upbeat flare]

Practical effects the greatest

[obsidian tusk]

He’s a basketball player too

[spiral jetty]

my favorite pokemon

[upbeat flare]

The only CGI was the tail

[obsidian tusk]

No that’s real too

[lavish adder]

I have a question I wanted peoples opinion on || the alien offspring we see at the end of the movie I found to be a poor idea. I found it to be the exact same concept as in Alien Resurrection. But my question is what would have been your thoughts if instead of what we saw in Romulus, we saw a full on engineer be born? Like a cycle. Engineers made humans and somehow the Prometheus strain mixed with humans creates engineers? ||

[upbeat flare]

I believe the Offspring was great and more terrifying than Newborn from Resurrection but now we can see why Weyland Yutani is very obsessed with these creatures and the black goo their ambition is to make the “Perfect Organism” Human/Xenomorph

[upbeat flare]

I don’t think the creature was was fully engineer because the black goo comes from the xenomorph vines, I think is another type of Human/Xenomorph hybrid just was born from a human instead a pregnant Queen

[lavish adder]

Oh totally. I’m not saying the creature was a full engineer. You can clearly see its deformed in some kind of way and looks more like a blend of all three (xenomorph, human, engineer). That’s why I’m asking what if it was a full engineer? In some weird way the same creatures that created us we see can be born from us. I just personally thought that could’ve been cooler and even more existential than what we got

[upbeat flare]

Well despite the massive controversial reception from both Prometheus and Alien Covenant is very unlikable to see the Engineers again

I was hoping to see a Razor Claws on Alien Vs. Predator (Arcade game 1994) from Capcom

[lavish adder]

That would’ve been cool

[jolly berry]

I thought the newborn at the end was fine. I thought that jumpscare did feel a little cheap, but otherwise I didn't have a problem with that sequence

[terse relic]

It scared the shit out of me tho

[jolly berry]

It did scare me too, but just the framing of it and it being first person. It felt like a FNAF jumpscare to me.

[granite crane]

This movie was underwhelming.

It never sat with anything long enough to really tense you up.

The editing is the worst offense.

[granite sequoia]

As someone who had never watched an alien movie in the past it was definitely a great film can't say this is a con cuz I definitely should have looked at stuff earlier but I thought there was only gonna be 1 xenomorph terrorising em the last 20 minutes was peak tho

[upbeat flare]

Is not necessary to be called as Aliens to feature multiple xenos, Alien Resurrection and Alien Vs Predator have tons of creatures

[granite sequoia]

tbh i think we past the point of one single Xeno anymore

Oh is that so? Well good to know it's actually a good movie. I might check it out with a more open mind.

we gonna get the 4K eventually i assume right?

[upbeat flare]

Yessssssss 😎

[upbeat flare]

God this creature is full of nightmare

[dusky rose]

It’s a shame that the first half of the movie is literally unbearable to me

The characters are so bad I couldn’t enjoy it

But once they die it’s soooo good

[granite sequoia]

Mando pls

even my action movie dudes who i dont think are huge horror fans liked Romulus... dont let me down like that...

hahaha

well i guess it was not for you... but you gotta at least admit even that first half looks great despite you dont liking the characters

[upbeat flare]

I like the characters motivations desperately searching a new life

[granite sequoia]

Ngl i only cared about Rain and Andy, maybe a little bit about Kay but i dont see that as an issue in a horror film most other characters gonna die either way lmao

I like the story, I think is a simple but compelling premise done right

I love the visuals

[upbeat flare]

Kay have the worst fate 😅 she was unaware from everything

[granite sequoia]

Yeah dude that third act

damn

[upbeat flare]

Bad move 😦 infected yourself with a Xeno virus

[upbeat flare]

They nailed

[granite sequoia]

I already said this but the Engineer/Xeno hybrid creature is a lot more creepy than Resurrection newborn

Fede truly has an instinct to creep you out

He did a great job i feel with Romulus

[upbeat flare]

I agree

And using a very fall and skinny person

[dusky rose]

It fully does

Looks gorgeous

Sounds even better..great sound design

It’s just that British guy was so annoying I couldn’t enjoy what I was watching

[upbeat flare]

Spike Fearn?

[dusky rose]

Yes

[upbeat flare]

At least he was burned by Scorched acid blood

[dusky rose]

That’s right

As soon as he did the movie skyrocketed up it got way better

Bearable

[upbeat flare]

Yep

[upbeat flare]

Already the TV series sounds a very bad idea

[granite crane]

Everything was extremely fast paced.

It never sat with anything long enough to simmer.

[upbeat flare]

Are you actually kidding Ridley Scott, you gonna bring the Engineers and Xenos on Earth are you seriously 😒 even if sets three decades before Prometheus

Fede just open the doors and now Ridley wants to ruined again

I don’t understand this rusted old man brain whaaat?

[jolly berry]

What's so bad about it?

[upbeat flare]

Is a third prequel and the worst thing it will bring the xenos on Earth

[jolly berry]

Why would xenos be on earth in a prequel? I guess they probably get wiped out before the end of the show?

I think they could still make it good, though. I guess it's just kind of weird because the Alien series jumps around so much

[upbeat flare]

But how is that gonna work having Engineers acting as Xeno creators

[jolly berry]

🤷‍♂️

[upbeat flare]

Okay I kinda change my mind a bit probably Earth might be a retcon for the whole “David creating the Xenos” shitshow 🤔

[charred bison]

I dont like the alien prequel lore lol

[proud creek]

I can only assume that it will propagate the Prometheus expedition as I’m sure Wayland will get this obsession to fund the project for immortality as their message will be regarding the black liquid.

I guess it’s a reattempt to finally decipher the engineers…

I hope questions will be answered unlike Prometheus which was its’ claim in the back of the Blu-ray case.

[upbeat flare]

Bruhhh

[proud creek]

I still unironically enjoy Prometheus. Beautiful film unfortunate that the way it’s cut is missing so much cool shit

Apparently the Engineers were trying to replicate the Xenomorph as they are the creatures the engineers worship.

It’s the reason why Xeno is Christ like and it’s also the reason why the people exposed to goo was just corrupted life forms rather than creating new cells that later forms life.

[gusty scroll]

I watched Prometheus for the first time recently right before I saw Romulus and I thought it was great

The score especially

[upbeat flare]

Prometheus is not that bad as Alien Covenant but really disappoint to be a good prequel

[gusty scroll]

Alien covenant was alright, you have to wait awhile before something interesting happens

Xenomorph stuff and David was cool

[upbeat flare]

Never been fan of that lore “an lazy Android” acting as the Xeno creator

[jolly berry]

I don't know if you guys are familiar with Pitch Meetings, but he made one about Romulus. I thought it was pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP2TCU8mvXY

[gusty scroll]

Seen, all pitch meetings are hilarious

[cedar kite]

I thought this was CGI, Holy Shit

[upbeat flare]

The Offspring wasn’t CG but fully practical

[granite sequoia]

I dont see how that equals bad tho

[inner stirrup]

The true longlegs was in this movie then

[granite crane]

https://tenor.com/view/for-you-bane-the-dark-knight-rises-tom-hardy-gif-21912820

[granite sequoia]

Well Bane of course that for me... taste is subjective but still not a film issue more like a *you * issue...

Meaning if you dont like fast paced editing in films is perfectly fine but that dont make it "bad editing"

Just not your tempo....

[granite crane]

Lmao what?

A valid criticism against the movie's editing is now a personal problem?

Absolutely moronic take.

[granite sequoia]

you just stated you dislike the style...fast paced is not an issue rather an aspect of the editing.

if you cannot distinguish the difference, then your take is beyond idiotic...

Its like me saying I hate a film cuz is a "slow burn" that is valid, but me saying the film pace is bad cuz is "slow" is not an objective quality rather a subjective appreciation.

If you think both the same ( subjective appreciation and objective quality) then well talk about moronic takes

LMFAO

A valid criticism towards a movie editing would be saying Taken 3 has too many cuts

https://tenor.com/view/bryan-mills-liam-neeson-taken-jump-a-fence-jumps-fence-gif-23570288

cuz there's no way you can objectively justify those cuts...

but i haven't heard you objectively justifying how the "fast paced" editing was "bad"...

you only stated.... It never sat with anything long enough to simmer.

It simmer enough for me...

maybe you process too slow who knows...

[granite crane]

I wish you well.

[granite sequoia]

Great rebuttal.

Idk if you can handle a Alien TV series prequel on Earth featuring both Engineers and Xenos

[granite sequoia]

I am lucky cuz i dont watch series atm

[rigid yoke]

"Questions nobody fucking asked..... will be partially answered"

[gusty scroll]

this guy on instagram is incredibly angry at the fact i enjoyed alien romulus

[upbeat flare]

Concept of Romulus’ Cloned Chaps nest

[granite sequoia]

When i hear the "canon" argument i always assume 🤓

[rigid yoke]

Hey!

Im a big stickler about canon!

[granite sequoia]

😅

Sorry Ched

But its my first thought, I mean I hated Covenant for changing the origin of the Xenomorph but that just cuz i liked the mystery of it...

revealing the creation in such a lame way was shite for me

I feel i care about what works for the story best more than a one way storyline...

[upbeat flare]

Literally a lazy android and some source of Frankenstein plot

[rigid yoke]

Yeah.... angry robot with a Frankenstein complex

worst plot "twist" ever

I still go with my headcanon that the Engineers DID create the xenomorph, David just replicated it to the best of his abilities

Otherwise this mural in Prometheus makes no sense at all. The Engineers either made the xenos as weapons or discovered them and reduced them down to their mutagenic black goop.

Maybe they even worshipped the xenos

Another theory is that the "deacon" is the Engineer's version of the xenomorph, and the xeno we know is the David created breed, but I still hate that

the idea that the ship in Alien they find has only been there for like 10 years and somehow has xenos and dead Engineers in it as a result of SOMETHING David did is just nonsense

[upbeat flare]

Could be better if the engineers were actually a intergalactic cult praying for a ancient Xeno god or something more cosmic than generic

[rigid yoke]

Even if you take Prometheus and Covenant's retcons as total canon, it still doesn't make sense

[upbeat flare]

Should need to give Alien Earth a second chance probably deleting everything what Prometheus and Covenant did

[upbeat flare]

Cheddar did you like the xenos having this type of tail 😅

[rigid yoke]

I think its neat, good for killin

[upbeat flare]

Yep

[rigid yoke]

Really Rain should have been injured by that alien tail

getting snagged out of freefall by a tail that is mostly bonelike ridges

[upbeat flare]

Plot armor 😅

[granite sequoia]

First time I saw Prometheus and I saw that mural I was so hyped thinking damn the Xenomorphs are some sort of creature who were descendants from an ancient deity or something

Only disliked the end of Prometheus cuz it let me down but most of it had so much potential

(aside from the usual dumb characters trope)

Nothing too wrong, until Covenant came lmao

[upbeat flare]

Landing on a unknown planet with no professional equipment and protection

Im surprised the characters from Romulus were more smart than professional scientists

[upbeat flare]

Yep

Good direction following unprofessional random people

[upbeat flare]

Cheddar question: what’s this thing about adding unrelated new characters protagonist into video game adaptations instead following the game iconic characters like Resident Evil (2002), Monster Hunter (2020), Mortal Kombat (2021), Silent Hill (2006), and Doom (2005)

[rigid yoke]

Its kind of a fanfiction thing, like an audience self insert

[dusky rose]

https://ddinstagram.com/p/C_dwZ-fx-zx

[rigid yoke]

the hair makes it look kinda dumb

[upbeat flare]

He should have less Engineer looking and more a real abomination one like Tyrant and Nemesis from RE

[upbeat flare]

Even a real animatronic 👀

Like AVP

[upbeat flare]

Mando I thought Fede was going to use the Warriors type xenos from Aliens and Aliens Vs Predator Requiem

[placid creek]

the requiem suits were dreadful. The way the actors moved in them made them look like chickens without a head. They aren't even close to being similar or as good as Stan Winston Studio's work.

[upbeat flare]

The Ridged or Carved Warriors from AVPR look more metallic than organic

[rigid yoke]

The suits were OK but the horrible lighting and directing revealed their flaws

[upbeat flare]

Same Xeno design from Resurrection and AVP just with Ridged head

[placid creek]

AVP used animatronic heads. The suits looked a lot better.

[upbeat flare]

I meant the design
AVP and Resurrection

Except the long legs from Resurrection

[placid creek]

Ahhh gotcha. Yeah they repurposed the resurrection suits. They have different domes though. The tail is slightly different too

[upbeat flare]

Even the humanoid long legs and arms since they are Cloned Warriors

[placid creek]

Yeah, as much as I have a slight issue with the resurrection design (as it completely strayed away from Giger's masterpiece), it made sense narratively. The queen lays eggs like it's a woman giving birth, and the drones looked more biological then bio-mechanical

[upbeat flare]

Yep even Romulus has that style with Big Chap and his clones

Cloned Chaps

[placid creek]

The most annoying thing about the creature designs is that nobody seems to actually understand that the creature in Covenant wasn't a Xeno, it was a Protomorph. Similar to the resurrection design, the Protomorph is more fleshy, and that's because david made the eggs out of the black goo and shaw. So no David did not create the Xenomorph like 70% of the fans think; he created his own design in the Protomorph. Like, you can literally see an Alien in a christ like pose in the Engineer ship, in prometheus. The only thing we know about the Xenomorph, is that it has the mechanical features of the engineer. It's still a complete mystery; so people should stop complaining about David creating the Alien.

[upbeat flare]

Blame Ridley Scott for ruined

[placid creek]

And yes, the Romulus design is for sure the cloned version of Big Chap. Hopefully the prequel comic in October, will tie some loose ends

[upbeat flare]

@rigid yoke @granite sequoia @dusky rose did you guys agree with this??

[placid creek]

Why would I? he didn't ruin anything

[upbeat flare]

At least Big Chap had more fun

[placid creek]

that's actually the first time i see the big chap corpse in full light, that's sick.

[upbeat flare]

I thought he was gonna turn into a Queen after completing his nest inside the Romulus module but I was wrong

[placid creek]

That was my theory, too. So glad we got to finally see how the chestburster turns into the Adult xeno. Definitely one of the all time best additions to the alien lore.

[upbeat flare]

You mean a “Subadult Xeno” you can see blood vines inside his body

[rigid yoke]

Tell Ridley Scott this. He disagrees. In his canon, David INVENTED the xenomorph as we know it.

[granite sequoia]

yeah but still kinda lame that was so easy for david to duplicate a similar creature

[rigid yoke]

I get what you're saying, because Ridley's canon literally doesn't make any fucking sense and retcons lots of things. But thats what the movie is telling us.

In Ridley's canon, the protomorph was literally the first form of xenomorph (excluding the Deacon,which was kind of something else) and all the xenos we see in Alien and Aliens are later progressions of the same design/

[upbeat flare]

Because I was like “okay this sounds good but…… stills a lame lore”

[placid creek]

I always thought it was bloody because it had just come out of the sack. Kind of like when a baby is born

[rigid yoke]

The alien in the christ pose is roughly the same design as the Deacon as well, not a xenomorph drone or queen.

For the record, i think the retcons from Prometheus and Covenant are stupid as fuck, and have my own headcanon that works around them, but from the movie's we're presented and how Ridley Scott had them written, his FULL intention is that the FIRST xenomorph was created by David

and I hate it.

[upbeat flare]

I wish that painted wall would be a ancient cosmic god related to the xenos

[upbeat flare]

The concept could better as pure lovecraftian cosmic on the xenos origin

This is why most of retcons disappoint a lot

[rigid yoke]

My headcanon is that David was just reconstructing something the Engineers had created originally as a weapon.

My headcanon is also that the Engineers are NOT the same as the Space Jockeys, and the Engineers merely worship the Jockeys, which is why they imitate the Space Jockey architecture and geiger designs. THis also helps explain why the Engineer colony in Covenant DIDNT have any geiger-esque architecture, they were an offshoot that didnt worship the Space Jockeys

this of course, is all cope

[placid creek]

if you watch the extended david scene from the covenant Blu-Ray, it literally seems to describe that he's creating a different version. I mean hell, look at the neomorphs. They're created from spores from the pathogen being released into the plant life; David never created those. It seems like there's just too many coincidences to think David actually created Giger's beast. Timeline wise, it doesnt make sense either. Alien is only 18 years after Covenant, and the the space jockey is literally fossiled like it's been a hundred years (as per the characters dialogue)

[rigid yoke]

I get what you're saying, and I wish it was that way. But thats not what the director or writers intend.

This is why I hate Covenant

Its literally why i've turned on Ridley Scott as a director.

It makes no fucking sense

[upbeat flare]

If only Ridley make Prometheus with Jon Spaihts original script

[rigid yoke]

he doesnt care, he's a visual director. His interest in script is minimal

[rigid yoke]

its so much better and fixes literally almost every problem in Prometheus and that carried over to Covenant

[upbeat flare]

You not the only one

[rigid yoke]

It still assumes the Space Jockeys are actualyl engineers, which I hate, but whatever

[placid creek]

putting AVP over Alien 3 and Prometheus, is insane

[upbeat flare]

I been reading that script in these days and wooooow I can’t believe they removed everything involving with the xenos and having the engineers as the original creators

[placid creek]

i don't mind that, it makes sense. Prometheus was a great film. It delivered solid mysteries while not giving too much away

[rigid yoke]

Prometheus commits the cardinal sin of saying "Hey, remember that ancient fossilized dead creature that has been sitting in a ship for thousands of years and got chest bursted by an alien? lol its not a big creature silly, its just a giant humanoid in a silly outfit"

Awful retcon. They want me to pretend these are the same creature

[charred bison]

I really dislike the story/lore of prometheus and covenant is the main thing

[rigid yoke]

Look at the arms. The Space Jockey's arms are like 2x as long. it has eye sockets and TEETH. The Prometheus Helmet has eye lenses, no teeth, short arms.

Trying to convince the audience that the mysterious cosmic creature we only saw dead in Alien is actually just a 7 foot tall white guy engineer in a costume is such a shitty bait and switch.

"Hey, remember that prime rib you ate in 1979? It was actually a hot dog I dropped on the floor. Aren't you impressed by the twist?"

A bait n switch twist needs to have the switch be MORE interesting than the bait. In this case, its infinitely dumber and makes the entire Alien universe revolve around humanity essentially, instead of being a vast, nightmarish and cold place of cosmic terror where mysterious monsters coukd be behind any asteroid

It would be like finding out Cthulhu was made by human beings in a lab or something

[placid creek]

Again, I don't mind. I loved the designs. Having the engineers be our creators was a great idea. When i first watched prometheus in cinemas, my initial thought was that they accidentally created the Xenomorph, tried to kill it or get rid it, then it turns out, the pilot had a chestburster, which then made the derelict ship crash into LV-426 (a neighbouring planet to the military planet of the enigineers from Prometheus).

[charred bison]

Yeah that’s the part I hate is how human centric it is.

[rigid yoke]

he turned the infinite possibilities and vastness and cosmic horror of the Alien world and made it all revolve around humuan beings. Fucking stupid

[charred bison]

Mhmmm

That right about pissed me off when I watched those two films

[rigid yoke]

Im fine with Engineers creating humanity. I'm NOT fine with Engineers being swapped witht he Space Jockeys sloppily and telling me what I saw and was terrified by in Alien was actually something else.

[placid creek]

I think the engineers are pretty damn freaky

[granite sequoia]

like super freak?

[placid creek]

super freak! super freak! she's super freakkyyyy

[charred bison]

my headcanon is to ignore prometheus and covenant as much as I can lol

[placid creek]

I think Romulus actually elevated those two films (especially Prometheus because of Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15)

Romulus was so goddammn good, it actually made me like Prometheus even more

[charred bison]

noice

[rigid yoke]

I liked Romulus a lot but didn't love it, mostly due to the bad fan service

I think its equal to Alien 3: Assembly Cut, better than the theatrical cut

[placid creek]

I don't even mind the cgi-animatronic Ian Holm, it was damn great film

[rigid yoke]

ugh i hated it. took me completely out of the movie. fan service is bad enough when it makes sense, this made no sense at all

[charred bison]

I loved Romulus to absolute bits

[placid creek]

the theatrical cut is literally unwatchable. I'm so used to the assembly cut, that when I watched the original on Disney+, i was baffled by how bad it was

[rigid yoke]

WHy would Weyland Yutani embed synths in their employee crews under the guise that they were human, then use the exact same facial model of that synth multiple times in other places. Nobody would notice the same people running around when they're posing as humans

[charred bison]

there wasnt even that much fanservice tbh

[rigid yoke]

The abuse of literally my favorite movie line ever "i wont lie to you about your chances, but.... you have my sympathies" pissed me right off

[rigid yoke]

CGI Ian Holm existing, spouting lines from Alien, and the android quoting Ripley years before she even said her quote, that was stupid. Worse than the fan service in Rogue One

We don't need wink-wink meta fan service in Alien films

[placid creek]

Think about it, its only 20 years apart. By that time, the AI ship found big chap, they probably already had the Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2.

[rigid yoke]

It just doesnt make sense to use the same facial model for synths if they're supposed to be hiding amongs Weyland Yutani crews posing as humans

i have no idea what a hyperdyne system is

[placid creek]

but it wasnt hiding

Everyone on the Renaissance station was apart of Weyland Yutani. The scientist on the sation literally worked WITH Rook to reverse engineer BIg Chap

[rigid yoke]

Is there any indication the crew of Romulus knew he was a syth? It doesnt change the fact that Ash WAS hidden. Using the same model of synth to fool people on one ship and then using the same one on another ship just reeks of sloppy fan service. it indicates theres probably more. So if theres a bunch of Ash's running around, nobody is supposed to notice?

[placid creek]

Don't you remember the conversion in Alien between Dallas and Ripley? Ash was added to the time a week before the launch, weyland clearly already new about the warning signal and wanted the nostromo crew to check it out. Ash was basically a sleeper agent

[rigid yoke]

And the entire crew of the Nostromo worked for Weyland Yutani, they didnt know Ash was a synth

[rigid yoke]

thats my point. Why would you use the model for a sleeper agent that you have working in god knows how many other places on other WY crews

you'd use a unique facial model if you had any sense

[placid creek]

Yeah, they were supped to just mine mineral ore. They wanted the mission to LOOK like it was a mining mission.

"crew expandable"

[rigid yoke]

its just sloppy and needles to me. CGI Ian Holm didn't make me nostalgic, it felt needless and pissed me off. It was only there for the audience

hence fan service

Rook looking like Ian Holm and repeating his lines from Alien meant zip to the characters in Romulus, he might as well have been winking at the camera

[placid creek]

Weyland used the Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2 for quite a bit. They only changed it to the bishop model (or Hyperdyne model A/5) because they realised some time later that the A/2 was "twitchy"

[rigid yoke]

its fine if it doesnt bother other people, but I've been an Alien fan since I was like 7, so i take the canon seriously and get annoyed bny shit like this

[placid creek]

remember, theres still 40 years between romulus and Aliens, thats a LOT

[rigid yoke]

is the 120 ALL Ian Holm, or is it just the same model of android with potentially different faces

[placid creek]

they use the same face for each different model

rook and ash are the same model, so they look the same. timeline wise, it makes sense.

[rigid yoke]

Yeah i hate that

[placid creek]

The romulus area on the Renaissance station was working around the same time as Alien. They only added the Remus part once they started looking for big chap.

[rigid yoke]

Unless they ONLY used 120 for embedded missions prior to the end of Alien, its sloppy

[placid creek]

Ash and Rook are literally science officers. They are the perfect models to do research on the creature. Hence why they put one of the nostromo a week before the departure, and why there was one on the renaissance

[upbeat flare]

Romulus was more Resurrection plot thing for Big Chap

[rigid yoke]

I dont think you're getting my point

Ash was used as deception. using the same exact model for other purposes is stupid because literally anybody working for Weyland Yutani could come across them, and would know they are synths and not people, which would jeopardize everything Ash was working towards

[placid creek]

ah, sorry. I'm like on 4hours of sleep. I'm trying lol

[rigid yoke]

Its ok, im being a whiny bitch anyway

Im glad other people like it, I just get frustrated when IPs i've loved all my life do things I don't like. Same thing I make fun of Star Wars fans for
