ALIEN

40+ years and the retards still didn't evolve the concept beyond Cameron fucking it up in the ass with muh action horror ANT HIVE COLONY AND CANNON FODDER.

And everyone who's given the IP in comic books & video game form or movie sequels has no idea how to do world design.

and that's why Aliens was a mistake

You made this thread ten minutes ago and it's still up fucktard

They should start making anthologies. These writers can't come up with stories or characters that are compelling enough to fill the runtime of a movie or miniseries,

i like aliemns :)

what is this autism?

Gookmoot trained an LLM on OPs to artificially boost dying boards so the advertisers don't demand rate reductions, the same reason why the IP counters disappeared

All they need to do is copy Giger more.

They're doing it wrong. The concept is very Giger, but it's too sloppy and organic.

I don't understand why the movies keep trying to sell the android/alien dynamic as deep, Ash lost it and went insane basically. Nothing he said was particularly profound or even correct, he's just a lunatic. Ripley even just shuts him off when she's tired of his bullshit.

Picrel is the best Alien anthology I have read. We need to focus more on the colonial marines being badass and destroying bugs.

barren empty planet, a grey landmass surrounded by a violent ocean

nothing grows here

whole thing turned into a big factory-farm for cows

grey stale flat facility

cows are feed processed food and get artifical sunlight to mimic the perfect environment for their growth

cows suddenly start getting sick, puking, dying, instantly rotting

when they investigate it, one of the cow's chests opens up and a facehugger leaps out of it

alien movie happens

lots of focus on the farming crew beforehand, it's understood that meat is a luxury item and that only the richest will eat it

instead of the usual white short-haired brunette protagonist, it's an asian girl this time (also with short black hair)

r8 my alien movie

5/10. Where are the Yautja?

so why the fuck is the xenomorph michael myers tier? just kill kill kill, doesnt even eat or reproduce all the time. if it moves it kills them. why?

colonial marines

badass

making them look like fallout/vietnam retards was fucking retarded. I want ODST mfers killing xenomorphs not stupid fucking cocky retards in tanktops and headbands

not everything has to be warhammer 40k aesthetics

this too much? the way the space marines were talking crazy in Aliens made it seem like they were used to fighting foreign shit, why did look like fighting extraterrestrial shit was not something they did with their main transportation being spaceships. Jesus Aliens was so ass.

You could have both. ODST are elite shock troops in Halo; they're not the rank and file. I always assumed the Colonial Marines were just grunts and there are equivalents to Navy Seals, Green Berets, etc in the universe. They're just not sent in for what was assumed to be a waste of time on LV-426.

Cameron dislikes armor, especially helmets because it hides the facial expressions

Have you read Aliens: Tribes? That's the kind of USCM story I want.

nothing grows

whole thing turned into a big factory farm for cows

meat is a luxury item

this doesnt make any sense. if 100% of their food supply is meat, then everyone is eating meat. maybe the rich get the filet but the farmers are getting sausage.
gray world sounds boring.
3/10. maybe 5/10 if she isnt the wrong type of asian

Idk the movie felt like they were used to fighting aliens/elite. All that aside their gear for space missions was fucking retarded, aint it cold up there anyhow!?

No, autismo, they specifically said they did not fight aliens, and mocked Ripley hard as a schizo lunatic for the ridiculous idea that aliens might be real. You're a filtered retard for not understanding that after all this time.

the supplies are brought by ships, it's all processed foods, sludgy paste for the cows, nutrient cubes for the farmers. All meat they make is put on ships and delivered elsewhere

she would of course be japanese

there's a hundred space franchises out there where the elite squad is all armored up competent niggas, let the Colonial Marines be scrappy vietnam dudes

are you fucking retarded dumbass nigger? They said "bug hunt" meaning they've fought aliens before, and their main command along with ripley was telling them about xenomorphs and they didnt take it seriously. Shit writing and a shit movie.

Fuck off and go play Halo or StarCraft, Alien deserves to be more than shooting bugs.

You can only have so much of survival horror, at some point you need to confront and destroy the monster.

Watching Alien movies should be a deeply sexual and erotic experience. You should leave the theater wanting to put your fingers in your asshole. That’s how you know the film captured the spirit of Giger. That’s the reaction you’re going for.

Only if you're a woman, xenomorphs don't assfuck men.

Needlessly dystopian. What's stopping them from introducing seafood to that ocean or growing fresh veggies above the cows? They might not be able to afford to eat wagyu beef, but I doubt they'll be eating the same slop and space truckers if they live on a habitable planet.

a slasher film? the xenomorph in 1 didnt do shit except kill the crew, didnt even eat them.

whats the point?

xenomorphs assfuck the women and facehuggers facefuck the men, it's how it goes

They may have fought aliens before, but not Xenomorphs. From the context of the film, I imagined that they had fought dumb native fauna and maybe some rebels or space pirates. Nothing so exotic like the Xenos. They'd be fine taking down a space tiger. What they didn't expect was aliens that have some intelligence, excellent camouflage, acid blood, and huge numbers because they can multiply using human hosts.
They're also hurt by having a green and stupid CO. He should have known how to equip them for that atmosphere processor ambush. A lot more of them would have made it out if they could have used their guns. Gorman is the key to why they failed as hard as they did.

Xneomorphs literally rape and impregnate men. That's where the horror comes from whether it's ass or not. You're pregnant and bearing the monster's child, which will eat it's way out of you

From the context of both films, they have never fought anything. That's explicitly clear. Anything else is fan fiction from comics and headcanon.

?????????????????????

love these niggas like you wouldn't believe

they literally never doubted her you stupid fuck lmao. they were just cocky retards

goddamn it must suck to be you

I always assumed bug hunt just meant a mission where the enemy was hiding out and operating in the deep countryside or wilderness

bug hunt just means they need to go looking for them instead of dropping in on a prepared enemy. It’s why it’s used in opposition to the phrase “stand up fight”. “Is this going to be a stand-up fight or are we going to be fighting aliens” doesn’t make much sense grammatically

they literally dont react when their command/ripley is describing the xenomorph or parasite, they're unimpressed, not in disbelief. The film is terrible at conveying they were seasoned or not anyhow, guess I cant blame you. Aliens 2 is dogshit

they literally dont react when their command/ripley is describing the xenomorph or parasite, they're unimpressed, not in disbelief.

They think she’s crazy. If they knew what a xenomorph is why are they totally surprised by the xenomorphs?

when did they convey she was crazy? they're surprised cause Cameron wanted a cringe retarded trope and have them as fodder. They were given a dossier on the xenomorph after they were briefed too. Aliens 2 is just shit and the colonial marines were cringe.

They don't know what aliens are.

apparently, she saw an alien once

woopty fuckin doo

They don't believe her and they've never seen aliens. A bug hunt meant they expected nothing. Like a snipe hunt. They expected literally 0 resistance or contact with anything.

Reminder the perfect Alien media exists and it represents the IP better than 40+ years of hollywood slop.

When they were talking shit about how “she saw an alien once”

they're surprised cause Cameron wanted a cringe retarded trope and have them as fodder.

Aliens was pretty unique for its time, you’re viewing it as tropey from a 2025 perspective because of how much influence it’s had. At the time of its release it was unique.

They were given a dossier on the xenomorph after they were briefed too.

Which none of them cared to read

Yeah that’s my point I agree

They stopped caring after Gorman repeats "xenomorph", after which Hicks says "it's a bug hunt" implying a bug hunt means little to nothing. Before that they describe the people at Hadley's Hope as "some scared colonists" implying they're not worried. Gorman fucked the brief up and whatever concern they did have went out the window. After that they're all jokes until they make contact, they're still fucking around when they find acid damage to the colony. It's not until they actually encounter them in the reactor they even begin to realize what they stepped into.
