Quote from: solace97 on Nov 02, 2024, 11:08:43 PMWhy do you continue to act like that didn't happen in the movie?

Maybe NCF19 is from Alabama and this sort of thing hits too close to home.

I'm not sure what the deal is but it honestly made me feel like I was going crazy and led me to a rabbit hole questioning if we watched the same movie haha

To say that it is a "theory" or "not a part of the movie" is certainly denial/gaslighting/whatever, but NCF19 is allowed to be disturbed by whatever element they want.

What they shouldn't do, though, is repeating over and over again that it isn't the case.







NCF19, maybe you should avoid the movie and the dialogue around it if you cannot stand this kind of upsetting material? Clearly you're suffering from it, to the point of building yourself blinders, and art is meant to bring us joy, satisfaction, reflection and fulfillment, not to make us miserable.
This is a big forum, with many threads and sections. You can boycott the Alien: Romulus area while remaining a part of the conversation.

Alternatively, you could ask Corporal Hicks to confine the talk on this upsetting matter to a specific thread. You may potentially not be the only one to find this narrative choice distasteful.

Wishing you all the best.

I don't think it's fair to impose restrictions on everyone else.

More importantly, however, he's pretty much the only person who brings it up. If he stopped mentioning it, there would be no discussion on the matter.

On the flip side, how can you blame Bjorn? He's punching way above his weight class here.

He can absolutely feel however he wants. But he shouldn't be making up lies about it just because of his feelings towards the subject.

So, I was specifically addressing @NCF19 's comment...

Quote(let's humor the idea that it was intentional for the sake of this argument)

Because it has absolutely zero truth. And he continues to say it wasn't intentional, or Fede didn't mean to put it in there, and is just making  a continued ridiculous claim that Bjorn isn't the father when the director himself is saying that Bjorn IS the father.

Which is why I went out of my way to find these two quotes to show him that Bjorn is indeed the father. Regardless of his feelings of the subject. The Director - Fede Alvarez - was literally on his online account responding to another Reddit user confirming this from a fan. It's very simple and clear.

QuoteI watched the movie yesterday in IMAX and loved it!
Incredible experience, incredible movie.
Right before Bjorn's death, he and Kay share a moment where they touch each other in a very intimate way. Am I the only one who thought this was a sign that Bjorn is the "jerk" who got her pregnant?

QuoteOn the Alien subreddit, one user made a post to discuss a spoiler-heavy theory on the identity of the father of Kay's child. Álvarez commented on the post, confirming the redditor's suspicion. "Yes, he is. Good catch!" Álvarez wrote.

And I guess the reason this gets me slightly annoyed is because this is a fan website that tries to eliminate all the BS or untruthful comments surrounding the franchise. It's where we try to use credible sources from the people that worked on the material to know every meaning of what into the film.

And it is very clearly stated the director said Bjorn is the father. End of discussion.

Now if that's upsetting or disgusting is another subject, and if you watch the movie and want to think, "He's not the father." Well that can be your own head canon, but just know that it's not true at all since the director stated otherwise.

And definitely DO NOT be posting blatant misinformation that it wasn't intended or Fede didn't mean to do it. Other users or people skimming through might read that and get false information which could make this more confusing than it has to be.

Well, to be fair, its the Directors interpretation he was the father. I think he left it vague for us, because he wants us to come to our own conclusions.

Also side note. to all who says Bjorn is way out of her league, Bjorn is exactly the type of guy who would land that.  :laugh:

If you don't want it discussed, stop bringing it up. You're the only one who starts these conversations.

It's such a shame a lot of people decided this was the canonical explanation.😑😒😔😪😞😓


Okay, let's get back on track.  If you guys have any other ideas you can share for this sub-forum, I'm all ears.

At this point its pretty clear he's just trying to get a rise out of people. Best to just ignore him.

Do I even want to know who?

Incest or not, Fede gave us clues about the creepy scene of a baby drinking from his mother's breasts. It happens before entering the research lab where there is a painting called 'View of the Hôtel de Ville of Marseille during the Plague of 1720'. In one part of the painting there is a baby breastfeeding from its mother who appears to be dead.



During this scene you can hear 'Das Rheingold: Entry of the Gods into Valhalla' by Richard Wagner.

Literally no. There is nothing left for interpretation. The character was written and confirmed to be the baby's father by Fede himself. He didn't leave anything up for us to guess at. Nothing vague. Nothing to make our own conclusions. It's how the character is written and was created in the film. He is literally telling us Bjorn is the father.
