Let's do a reality show where someone has been infected but nobody knows who.

There also a bunch of subtle nods to the Dark Horse comics such as a Terminator skull in the background

I may be the only person in the world who didn't hate Resurrection and/or Prometheus. I mean, they're not great, but I think Resurrection progressed the world along (xenonorphs behaviors in captivity was some new territory) and Prometheus had some good... casting.

 I'm telling ya Burke, what we gotta do, what we gotta do is get back to the ship, take off -vvvvvtt- and just nuke the whole site from orbit the whole thing, just... whistles, mimicking a falling bomb, ka-BOOM, ya know? That's the only way to be sure, baby.

They think Dale may be infected "If you’re gonna shoot me I want Bobby Hill to take the shot, cause he’ll put me down clean." --- Dale flies around in a shuttle with a giant dead facehugger decoration on the roof --- Peggy steps up in the loader Ho Yeah!

Doctor Zero posted:(I'm ignoring AVP & AVP2 here) Aw, don't tease me with a fully integrated head canon and just skip over stuff. Personally I like the idea from the Dark Horse comics that Terminator is canon to the Alien franchise, it's just so far in the future that it's not really common knowledge.

Owlbear Camus posted:Wait like the "something fucky happened with some property damage and a bunch of dead/kneecapped cops in 1984 and then again in 1991, judgement day averted" timeline, or the "full on giant robot tanks rolling down piles of skulls littering the 405 as humanity is on the brink of extinction" timeline? The latter. But yeah, the comic isn't anything I'd add to a reading list. The idea alone is enough for me. And it does a nice mirror between the first two films of both franchises having the android character flip from evil to good.

I played Alien RPG a few years ago and enjoyed it. It was fun getting into the roles of the different crewmembers (original for the game) and using that to guide your choices as your stress level went up.

If Romulus flops they should just make the next one a comedy like Airplane and call it Aliens 8, People 0 like they were gonna do with the Jaws franchise.

Vampire Panties posted:Just rewatched it - The movie is such a mess of non-sequitur poo poo. Tattoo-head dude smoking weed is a stoner-horror-death trope. Also David, with the immaculate hair, riffing witty comments in Fassbender's not-quite-American accent while everyone else is panting and sweating and screaming gives it a surreal quality. Also making Idris Elba do a fake-Texan accent is a waste. It's like they tried to mash the four previous movies into one by picking the most iconic bits

Yeah. Aliens is still about survival. T2 is about waging a secret war for humanity. It's closer to Blade or James Bond then to The Terminator.

Cessna posted:In movies, books, and comics, because writers want exciting things to happen. It's not so much smart vs dumb, it's the hubris you mentioned. It's the guaranteed killer in the franchise to assume the solution works. If you assume nuking a xenonorph colony is gonna wipe them out, then it'll turn out they have defenses against that and they'll turn up again in no time. "The alien exploded with the Nostromo, I'm safe now." "This time we're going in with Marines, we'll be safe now" "We checked the bodies and there's no sign of implantation. We should be safe." "We've captured the xenonorphs and they're contained in cells. Surely we're safe now."
