Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by Prez - Today at 05:12:43 AMQuote from: SM on Today at 01:38:34 AMThe art on both those books was pretty disappointing.
I quite liked both of them in parts. Perhaps the colouring on the original Alien book was a bit too colourful for my liking.

Last post by Local Trouble - Today at 05:07:08 AMQuote from: Local Trouble on Oct 10, 2018, 12:10:30 AMAt least Alien 3 left all the worldbuilding intact...then Alien Resurrection flushed it all down the toilet.

Alien Films / Re: Alien3 Legacy Cut
Last post by Local Trouble - Today at 05:02:30 AMDillon pretty clearly demonstrated in the movie that he was not only no longer a rapist, he actually saved her from being gang raped by men that he considered his brothers.
After that he demonstrated that he was no longer a murderer when he couldn't bring himself to kill her, despite his earlier assurance that he was up to it. Hell, he wouldn't even let her die in the mold.
In short, if you take away his "murderer and rapist of women" line, you grossly undermine the impact of what he does later in the film.

Last post by SiL - Today at 04:43:34 AMTo put it constructively, the fact humanity is saved by the worst of humanity is an important aspect of the story, thematically and narratively. Dillon embodies that. Sanitising it robs the film of depth and Dillon of character.

Remember a human being has spent three years on this bloody thing.

Alien-Predator Literature / Re: Author Steve Perry Talks O...
Last post by SiL - Today at 03:55:39 AMXenomorph is also a generic term. It doesn't actually specify the Alien anymore than using a capital A does.

Last post by SiL - Today at 03:50:47 AMThe problem is Alien 4 decided to keep Ripley and abandoned the timeline people were invested in.

Prey / Re: Prey Critic Review Thread
Last post by Huntsman - Today at 03:18:53 AMIs it better than the classic design? No. But I didn't have a problem with it for some reason. He's a savage bastard of a Predator and the design seems to fit with his behaviour.
