Rightio, time for a new thread talking about the new relaunch (aka Volume 3). I've split off the preview discussion and merged it with the announcement thread here: https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=65615.0

I'm desticky this, and sticky the new one. Let's keep this thread for the discussion of Volumes 1 and 2.

Thanks :)

Quote from: Local Trouble on Aug 23, 2022, 05:01:47 AMYou need to get with the times, old man.  It's all about AI and goo now.  The beast is cooked.

There are old pilots and bold pilots. But there are very few old, bold pilots.

To quote Cicero: rashness is the characteristic of youth, prudence that of mellowed age, and discretion the better part of valor.

Was quoting Vincent from the Black Hole who was quoting Cicero  ;D

I bet you never expected to get into a duel of Black Hole quotes.

I knew I would with you as we have similar 70s, 80s movie experiences.
I wish Disney would release a physical 4K version of that film.

It accelerates the plot towards whatever drama the writers want to happen.

I LOLed

Personally the black goo introduction in Prometheus demystified the whole 'Alien' mythology for me but that's a whole different thread to discuss and dismantle.

I previously mentioned about if I should be arsed picking up the new Marvel series again (I did finish the first volume). Now I'm starting to think I will so I can say `well at least I have read it and then can make my own proper judgement on it'.

It might appear silly to you, but it is not, being that like most things in both franchises.

You can do it with a deft hand, or with a sledgehammer, I'm just going to voice that I don't like to see the sledgehammer sometimes.

Whether it's depictions of The Pathogen or the Alien itself.

Covenant also shows it alternatively destroying and mutating with no given rhyme or reason.

Goo does whatever the writers want goo to do. You can like what some writers do with it more than others but complaining it's arbitrary seems silly since that's precisely what it's always been.
