Chinese Edit of Covenant Has No Aliens?

[Alionic]

So China censors the xenomorph, but not zombies in the last Resident Evil movie that made 160 f**king million dollars there?

lol What a world.

I thought thw cgi was good overall but i would have greatly preferred them to use practical and cgi together more instead of painting over all of tbe practical.

yes i agree. .a combination of practical and cg is the best way to go. .but I thought it still looked great and the budget was very decent if you take everything into account. .

I think although the CGI doesn't look perfect, movies these days have conditioned me to not bother about it. I mean your literally bombarded with so much CGI now, it's past the point of rating it anymore.

Sounds like it may be akin to watching a Super-B abridged cut!

What was that scene at 16:44 when she sees some corpse on the deck? I don't recall seeing it in any version of the film nor any extras...

That early in the film it's probably the toasted Captain.

It's in every version of the film when she finds Parker and Lambert.

Well you have serious problems anyway when Cameron's Aliens look better than your 2017 selection.

Sorry, this copy's quality and editing made it seem as if it was something else. Plus last time I watched Alien it was after 3:00 am in the cinema. Things got blurry to say the least.

According to a thread on r/LV426 the China edit has -

More scenes including the Neo
The Xeno is implied to be there, not shown
About approx 10 seconds of the Xeno but no full body shots...
The xeno was cut due to Chinese censors (obviously)

I still don't understand why the Neo is ok with the Chinese censors but the Alien isn't, am I missing something?

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯]

Maybe they took offence at the shape of it's head?

But then again, the Neo...

[Nukiemorph]

Yeah, the alien has a penis for a head.  The neo's head is more pointy...

...but it DOES have a butthole for a mouth.

Whatever, China.  Whatever.
