Surely some incarnation of lance henrisken gets properly killed by a xenomorph at some point? It seems so unlikely that he wouldn’t. Maybe even in millennium?

Lance Henriksen has been killed by a Terminator (The Terminator) and by a Predator (AvP1) and by a Warrant Officer (Alien 3).

I just watched The Terminator instead of going to the gym this morning because I couldn't find my Bluetooth headphones that I use to listen to yelling sportswriter podcasts while getting sick gainz.

It was Alien/Aliens that got me into reaction videos in the first place, but it was The Terminator that kept me around. And Blazing Saddles

That reminds me every time I see this browsing Evike I have to remind myself the types of airsoft events I'm most likely to do are milsim or historical milsim. Hell there's even a big annualzombie one. Bit sadly no one going balls out on an alien themed one.

Don't get into milsim airsoft, it's a 'sport' full of hothead manchildren delusionally optimistic about their chances in a real firefight. Just dress up and go to cons instead.

That fixed-camera poo poo was the wooooooorst. I watched a thing awhile back about how the original Resident Evil dev team made up the gimmick as a workaround to save space and loading time-- the environments were just big lens-warped jpgs in the background of each shot instead of actual rendered 3D environments, hence the stupid door animations every 30 seconds to load up the next room. I know the series has a devoted following but I got through like two hours of the first one and wrote it off as completely unplayable.

We got something new, from the comic:

A new Alien has been shown and it's not at all typical. In fact it's an suction eelish thing with very frontward sharp teeth and pointed legs that it runs on up front. I forget what the official term for that is. These things don't burst out of people, they exit peoples mouths. And go in them as well. In the Hive there's new waspish like nest which I'm guessing they came from. It might be what happens to other alien(not the bad ones) get infected. One animal was shown earlier that is definitely not Earthish.

I used to read trash genre fiction back in high school and I read one where people worshipped the xenomorphs and even volunteered to be incubated. In recent years, it has proven to be surprisingly prescient

That's the one where Earth is taken over by the xenomorphs. It even has Ripley.

Except the ones where they replace her with a similar character due to Alien 3

That was likely the novelisation of the first Aliens comic book, which now and forever is the One True Sequel to Aliens.

It works because there’s only so many stories you can do with aliens as a threat. Been slowly reading through a pile of aliens comics and the sheer number of “spaceship crashes in remote place and group has to deal with with minor outbreak and only NAMED CHARACTER survives…”

Alien was a slasher movie in space.
Aliens was a war film.
Aliens Book One (comic) was a disaster movie.

It was the only logical place for the series to go next, it had to be a large inhabited planet falls to the aliens, and it had to be Earth. At this point there are human colonies everywhere, and aliens are just animals with no way to get around. Once you’ve had a planetary scale disaster, you’d have quarantine procedures in place to make sure it doesn’t happen on that scale again (human intervention aside, which is where future stories can still get interesting).

It’s a shame Earth War as the final part of the comic trilogy poo poo the bed, but that first two books really took what came before and understood where it needed to go next.

In 2022, the “low level psychic energy” needed by the captured queen to buy into the idea of welcoming incubation isn’t even needed. It could be speculated, but people really just are that bugnuts crazy that they’d think it’s worth going along with.

Man, the Aliens films need a “no, those other sequels didn’t count” continuity reset the way the Terminator films got one.
