Alien Prequel Series: Prometheus & Alien Covenant / Re: Alien Covenant Fan Reviews
Last post by GrimmVision - Today at 11:40:01 AMThe pyramids on LV-223 are most definitely older than 2000 years.
The carbon dater Elizabeth used showed how old the decapitated Engineer was at the time of death.

Last post by Acid_Reign161 - Today at 10:11:14 AMI mean, in fairness, there is the fact that all of the paintings point to LV-223's system and not their homeworld... at a time before the engineers decided to wipe us out, so presumably there'd be nothing there at the time they were doing so / no biological weapon facility. 🤣 Like "civilisations of Earth, here is a random uninhabitable planet... one day, if you piss us off, we *may* develop weapons there to wipe you out..just wanted to pre-emptively show you."
*Romans crucify Engineer Jesus*
Engineers: "Right, we warned the f**kers - didn't we tell them?" "Several times." "Right, build the goo factory" 😠
Engineer Jeff, (first week on job): "Sir, I dropped a vase." "Did you clean it up?" "Yes sir!" *holds up yellow mop* "Really!? Are you f**king shitting me!? Come here *opens folder and pulls out file* Is this your signature?? Cause this looks like your signature to say you watched and understood the training hologram on cross contamination." "Yes sir" "and what colour mop do we use in the head room??" "..." "..the BLUE mop!! How many f**king times Jeff!??" "My bad Sir..I'll..urgh..-ack!!" *clutches chest as Neomorph pops* "Here we f**king go... *picks up flute and sounds the alarm* trunk masks on, everyone." 🙄

Last post by David Weyland - Today at 10:04:46 AMAt the end of the day think the variables in the species and the lifecycle adds depth.
For example, you could argue the Derelict's eggs were dormant for a long period of time so the metabolic reaction of the Face hugger's payload was as a result slower, more sleepy in growing.
The only other long gestation in the franchise is Ripley's Queen in Alien 3. She had been in hypersleep so maybe a delay factor in that too.
Covenant's fast gestations can be explained as just a result of a very fresh creation that David made eggs without a Queen & harnessed direct from the pathogen with human dna so there was a more rapid reaction perhaps.
Anyway don't think it is an unfillable plot hole or an unsolvable contradiction

Last post by BigDaddyJohn - Today at 09:51:42 AMQuote from: Feeds On Minds on Today at 03:18:16 AMQuote from: SiL on Today at 01:16:51 AMQuote from: Feeds On Minds on Today at 01:00:46 AMIt's almost as if Aliens is poorly written 80's action shlock, but with ground breaking special effects...It's not poorly written at all.Quote from: The Cruentus on Today at 01:11:25 AMRipley explicitly says it can't take 4. Even 3 is pushing capacity, hence needing the coolant.Quote from: Still Collating... on Yesterday at 10:26:37 PMQuote from: BlueMarsalis79 on Yesterday at 11:59:04 AMThe whole plot's down to them being stuck on Acheron, if they had a logical operation with a custodian on the Sulaco or several, nothing's stopping them from just evacuating.
True, but if the Nostromo had more lifeboats, a lot more survivors would've made it off. Parker and Lambert would've lived. Mistakes and incompetence are a trademark of the universe by now.
Parker and Lambert didn't die because of there being limited life-boats. The shuttle had enough room for four people
None of that coolant Parker and Lambert were collecting made it onto the lifeboat, so how did Ripley survive for 57 years?
Another Aliens writing blunder.
I think you should rewatch the movie lol

Last post by SiL - Today at 09:06:57 AMQuote from: Neila on Today at 08:36:07 AMI have both, and those combined wouldn't be too bad at all.Quote from: SiL on May 14, 2024, 02:09:55 AMI saw that there is a summary of Necronomicon 1 and 2.Quote from: Darkness on May 13, 2024, 06:24:15 PMI definitely want a big hardback that contains all his work.That would be amazing, but also ridiculously thick. I've got about six of his books and couldn't imagine them so condensed.
However, in the pictures this entire work looked pretty thin.
Now I'm wondering if it's just an excerpt from both works, not the entire pictures. Unfortunately there is nothing concrete in the description.
Do you have these books too?
I think HRGiger.com is the thickest book in the collection, and I'd say it's about the size of the Necronomicons combined. Maybe a bit thicker, I'd have to check.

Last post by SiL - Today at 09:04:36 AMQuote from: Slutty Badger on Today at 08:18:49 AMEvery film's burster has looked different. It doesn't tell us anything other than the directors wanted something specific.Quote from: SiL on Yesterday at 09:09:45 PMThose distinctions don't exist in the movies, deal with it.
They're right there on screen! The chestburster in Covenant even looks different to the regular version, telling us that this is a distinct variant of Xeno.

Last post by Corporal Hicks - Today at 08:58:37 AMHa I'm not sure I could afford to get the sets rebuilt. 
I am tickled by them being based in Pinewood though.
