AFAIK, AvP isn't fully canon.

Biplane posted:Imo Prometheus sucks primarily because it's supposed to be a prequel to Alien yet looks like it's set hundreds of years further into the future. Important to remember that the Nostromo is a Spartan, worn down, aged space truck and the Prometheus is like the world's first trillionaire's personal space yacht. Its like comparing a decades old cargo ship to Jeff Bezos brand new half-billion mega yacht.

redshirt posted:Indeed. So why crew with a ship full of morons? I was just commenting on the difference in ship aesthetics re: one ship looking more hi-tech despite being earlier in the timeline. As for crew competence, if I were to try to pull from possible in-universe explanations I've heard previously, perhaps the crew were all on the nutball fringe of their respective fields to agree to go on such a mission. Another I heard, possibly here in the past, was that Vickers may have been intentionally trying to sabotage her father's mission by hiring incompetents so she could take the reins herself. Or that maybe space exploration protocol weren't really established at this point as compared to Nostromo-era because this ship was one of the first to have a go at extra solar exploration (but, really they still should have know better.) None of these reasons are really spelled out in the movie; ultimately, the reason is that they're incompetent because they were written to be. It did used to bother me more when the movie first came out, but after the last 10 years of seeing how people react to adversity, the unknown, and crisis scenarios, I'm much more comfortable accepting as reality that most people are genuinely incompetent to some degree or another.

What happens if a facehugger impregnates another adult alien? Is that where queens come from?

MrMojok posted:Yeah you’re right. The cultists were hearing her “sing” to them, and they break into the old NORAD bunker where the idiot company is holding her, under the mountains in Colorado I believe, and run in there and allow themselves to be facehugged. Is this the Stargate/Aliens crossover?

redshirt posted:So have we come to a consensus on Xeno intelligence? Smarter than dogs? But dumber than monkeys? Depends how you define their intelligence. The drones certainly seem dumber than the queen, but the queen seems able to control the drones on her behalf. I would think the queen is probably at least dog if not maybe primate intelligence.

Pennywise the Frown posted:I actually hated how "good" Prometheus looked. You go from 1970s old rear end computers in the future which they made look great and very blue collar and believable to loving Tony Stark computer poo poo in the past. It doesn't make any sense to me and ruins the feel. Everything was way too clean and perfect. Futuristic full body suits and all that. Exact same thing with the Star Wars prequels. Everything is super clean and pristine and doesn't look real at all. Ya, but you're comparing the world's richest man's brand new personal mega yacht to a decades old space big-rig truck.

Android Apocalypse posted:I believe there's a pulse rifle at the end when Weyland-Yutani comes to get Ripley. It's used to kill 85. Oh ya, that could be. Its a pretty short shot of the gun firing, but it is very generic sounding.

Lord Ludikrous posted:On the subject of the very distinct sounds of pulse rifles and smartguns, despite its many, many faults, Aliens Colonial Marines absolutely nailed the sound design. I think most of the AVP games and Aliens: Fire Team really captured the soundscapes well, too.
