Mister Speaker posted:Prometheus and Covenant are not canon. Honest opinion: When Ridley Scott adds his canon to his previous works, it's usually to their detriment. I always hated the "Iz Deckard be a replicant?" poo poo in Blade Runner. gently caress OFF, RIDDLES.

T2 Sarah Connor, because there's something far more reassuring about her than Vasquez. Vasquez would probably get you killed, and she's clearly insubordinate.

Meskhenet posted:But in A3, the company is able to get a ship to that planet in 2 hours once they found out ripley was hosting. I'm guessing there are corporate ships stationed here and there that can make it to a place within an X number of days. Marines are low priority, so they can wait 17 days, but a massive boon to a top secret project they're trying to get off the ground? That poo poo gets priority, and they'll expedite a ship there within a matter of days.

Mister Speaker posted:Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Paxton the only actor in Hollywood to have been (presumably) killed onscreen by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator? Hudson is never seen getting killed, last seen getting dragged down through the floorboards by a bunch of Xenos, presumably to get cocooned and facehugged later. He probably died in the explosion caused by the dropship crash. His death in Terminator is also off-screen (I think the Nightstalker from Cobra is the only one we actually see getting killed), although I think it was confirmed in dialogue.

Binary Badger posted:Anyone remember Aliens: Colonial Marines where the Aliens acted nonchalantly like they were strolling to the 7-11 and refused to attack you unless you walked straight up to them and started whaling on them with your fists or whatever? Yeah it was something like that. I saw a video of a guy who fixed it, and apparently it does somewhat improve the game.

Yeah, an ideal cut would retain the stuff cut from after the Marines are introduced. The "life on the outpost" stuff, while fine in a vacuum, seems superfluous and Ripley's daughter, I won't miss too much if it were excised.

I dunno, the fact that the Derelict had all the eggs all neatly organised in rows to begin with does suggest something's up.

Pretty much the same reason I never bought into the JOSS WHEDON IS FEMANAST JEZUS! poo poo from a few years ago. The icing on that cake is his insistence that it's everything but the script and specifically the script that's wrong.

Mister Speaker posted:^^^ Yeah, no doubt. I consider them to be akin to stuff like Superman: Red Son or The Dark Knight Returns - other universe tales that while are still part of the Alien films, are only tangential to the overall lore of the series. I wanted to like Prometheus, but I hated it it the first time I saw it. I rewatched it again last year, and I found my opinion on it has softened somewhat, although I still think it's pretty loving weak. IMO, the strengths are (in no particular order): 1. The creature designs and practical effects 2. The body horror aspect of the film 3. The exploration of the temple is actually pretty neat 4. The haunted house in space angle it takes on 5. I liked Marc Streitenfeld's score And its major weaknesses (also, in no particular order): 1. The characters are more poorly drawn out caricatures. The film is also hurt by the fact that Shaw is a fundamentally boring wet blanket of a character, and while I suppose Holloway is meant to be unlikeable, they lean way too much into it. The guy's just a complete oval office to David for no reason. 2. The major plot points that are meant to be profound or meaningful, but are never given enough time or gravity to be meaningful. Case in point "OMG Vickers was Weyland's daughter!" or "Old man Weyland was alive and secretly on the ship the whole time!" Because neither really get any significant follow-up, it's like "who cares?" No one onscreen seems to. 3. The film collapses in on itself in the final act, when its attempt at profundity ends up becoming an overreach. It's like the film is trying to convey all these ideas, and never quite sticks the landing anywhere. The whole "why did David know what would happen if he put the black goo in Holloway's drink?" criticism that I remember popping up back then though, IMO, was bullshit. It's loving obvious David had no idea what would happen, he just knew it would be something bad, and he wanted to find out what that would be. Plus, gently caress Holloway, so why not use that shitcunt for such an experiment.

Phi230 posted:I finally got around to finishing William Gibson's Alien 3 Yeah, that's my overriding impression of it as well. Like Ripley is out of commission and it feels like it's building towards her making a late arrival into the story, but nope, she literally gets rocketed out of the plot. Definitely a draft or two away from being a fully satisfying story.
