Quote from: Coolertonic7 on Today at 12:38:31 AMHi, I'm coolertonic7 and i have been a fan of the alien and predator franchise since I was child. I really appreciate a majority of the movies in the franchise except for The Predator.
I have finally decided to join after months of reading different threads, because i really want to share my thoughts about the franchise.

or sometimes it's what inspires me to seek it out in the first place.

I like Promtheus and Covenant (and i agree with the criticisms of those movies) as standalones, and i truly think that there are some interesting ideas there, but as far as how they are connected to the original Alien (1979) movie, they left a lot to be desired.
But part of me thinks that Ridley scott wanted to tell his own original story about cycles of creation, but then had the studio force him to connect it to Alien in order to get more seats on the theater.
Also, personally, i always saw the Xeno as artficial, simply not a byproduct of humanity and its androids, but as something made by the Space Jockeys, which can also represent the theme of cosmic horror.
Perhaps there was a proto-Xeno species that existed and became exctinct, but then the Space Jockeys tried to recreate them as their own bioweapon for their own "alien motivations".
Maybe they worshipped these proto-xenos.
For me, the Xenos being an abomination that shouldn't exist is far more terrifying than them being something natural, not only that, but if they are natural, then it's a hell of a coincidence that their methods of reproduction (facehugger) easily adapt to human anatomy.
Their biomechanical nature also seemed to perfect and "fabricated", like their Juggernaut/derelict ships, instead of it simply being natural.Quote from: Mike's Monsters on Dec 31, 2023, 07:31:32 PMI think it's more that he just likes Fede's idea. Ridley isn't as hands on with the story, just more producing.
Gotcha.
I didn't know about that.
But still, it's fun to speculate, especially because Covenant was a box office bomb and kind of sent the franchise into cryo again, so Romulus being the movie to wake it up again is certainly a promising outlook.
Quote from: SiL on Today at 05:20:01 AMAs an editor, if I realised the last frame of every other shot had an odd issue I wouldn't be precious about them getting cut.
Outside of the tedium of actually doing it, at least.
