juggalo baby coffin posted:is this a joke post? Is this? juggalo baby coffin posted:so having david make the alien makes no sense. there were statues of xenomorphs in the engineer base. it also ruins the mystique of the alien. it also makes david look like a loving idiot cause the xenomorph is weaker/worse than the neomorph in every way. So to fix it, instead have it so david made the neomorph from xenomorph samples he found in the engineer ship. have the black goo be something the engineers made from xenomorph eggs they found somewhere. that explains why the black goo creates xenomorph-type poo poo, and why they had statues of the xenomorphs. they were a pre-existing thing the engineers wanted to turn into a more practical bioweapon. then david finds their notes or w/e on the xenomorph and tries to improve it. the neomorph infects people with spores, chest bursts in like 15 loving minutes, comes out of the gate ready to kick rear end, and grows to adult human size inside an hour. it's way stronger than the xenomorph is in a lot of ways.

It's been a long time since I watched Aliens and the different versions have merged in memory - does the theatrical cut the sentry guns completely, or does it show them setting up but then cuts them blowing aliens apart? I really like the idea of the bugs by-passing the machine guns because they're too smart for obvious traps.

As someone who knows several PhD scientists and doctors irl I assure you nerds that there is nothing unrealistic in how Milburn & Fifield or Shaw & Holloway behave. Ever read stories about astronaut misadventures? Or watch nature programs where the zoologists traverse incredibly dangerous terrain? Ever drank with an archaeologist? Do you have any idea how many bad tattoos the average chemist has? A doctorate won't prevent a building from falling on you. Expertise doesn't make you immune to panic or being horny or making bad decisions. There's no contradiction between them being idiots and being the best in their particular fields.

No way, this is the most fun and interesting this thread has been to read in months, if not years! Ideally no one should take disagreements on The SpaceMonster movie series too personally, but whatcha gonna do? I still get triggered by peeps dissing my boys Fifield & Millburn, and that movie came out like a whole decade ago! lol they're not even important characters, why do I care so much McSpanky posted:As a peanut gallery spectator to this whole exchange, knock it off with this dumb poo poo. I admit I didn't read the entire conversation that their av links to, but even a cursory skim reveals that it's not really the "ownage" whoever bought it for them thinks it is. Although really Ferrinus, NOT being so hysterically paranoid that you're actively searching for betrayal everywhere, is a bit of a cspam faux pas, just fyi

I don't have a bone in the Halloween fight but it's not "picking on people" to disagree with the words they have chosen to type - until Musk can unite our minds with microchips that's all we have to go on! It's unpleasant when I feel I'm being misunderstood (accidentally or purposefully), but sometimes that's on me for not being clear enough and sometimes that's on you for not being reading carefully enough - it's an unavoidable aspect of human communication, all you can do is relax or make an effort or a bit both

Also, in promotheus it's not actually a snake and the biologist can see that It's a just a big worm and he has no way to know it's impossibly strong and full of acid Plus he's encased in a state of the art space suit, and trying to impress his not-boyfriend while high on space weed

Mister Speaker posted:That sort of reminds me of a point someone made in the other (better) Alien thread in GBS, about Prometheus and (even moreso) Covenant. The black goo, and later the airborne spores from those weird plants that these scientists can't help but stick their faces into... These are easily much more effective ways of propagating a parasitic organism. So why is the much more vulnerable xenomorph obsessively developed by David and seen as the 'perfect organism''? IIRC David never talks about the "perfect organism", that's Ash, a different character. David likely created those neomorph spores as well as the face hugger egg, nothing implies he's beholden to a single process of creation. Plus obviously his goal isn't to propagate a virus as optimally as possible - he just wants to experiment and refine his offspring. Like he's gonna have to get creative to grow those 2 embryos he brought on board the Covenant in a way he hadn't before, he doesn't have any goo with him! Scientist and soldiers irl constantly stick their faces where they shouldn't, that's one of the more realistic things in these movies

The plot that's described does sound silly but not any more than that of Prometheus & Covenant were you to sum them up in such a manner, so I'll remain optimistic now that the IP is once again free.

Thankfully that last one destroyed what was left of his career, so we can all rest easy knowing a cynical Terminator: Dark Fart type retread/retcon is not in store for the Alien series. But Disney might find another hack like Hack Snyder to do it with those Disney dollars, so who knows. Neil hasn't made a bad movie of any length yet, and demonic looks dope. His career is fine lmao
