Last post by The Cruentus - Today at 01:32:54 AMQuote from: GrimmVision on Today at 01:26:00 AMQuote from: The Cruentus on Today at 01:12:02 AMAsh let them in so he broke quarantine. Ripley made it clear she wasn't going to let them in.
They stuck together until Brett let the cat go.
Granted that is stupid but emotional connections
Panic and they were not told why they should not fire.
They were in the middle of nowhere and had no reason to believe something would sneak onboard, besides we don't know if they actually knew what JUST happened.
8ft tall monsters dropping from ceiling takes priority....
• Dallas and Lambert attempting to break quarantine was the dumb idea, even if Ash wasn't there.
• They still split up. And they split up again at the end with Ripley on her own and Lambert and Parker together.
• Had Ripley not taken the time to get sidetracked by Jonesy, Lambert's and Parker's fate may have changed
• Doesn't matter why they weren't told to fire, they disobeyed their superiors
• Literally everyone else was connected by earpieces but those two weren't?
• There was absolutely at least a handful of hours Burke could've been watched once Ripley said she was "happy to disappoint" him
Ripley had authority, Ash broke it. Characters acting emotional is not issue, especially when other characters point out the problem.
First time due to the cat, second time was because they were preparing the shuttle and multiple jobs had to be done at the same time.
The Marines authority problem was established since their introduction and you can't expect them not to defend themselves from 8ft tall monsters without being told why.
Earpieces are not active 24/7.
He hadn't done anything intentionally malicious until the facehugger part. While he got colonists killed, he didn't know that would happen.

Last post by The Cruentus - Today at 01:24:02 AMMaybe even better than that, intelligent characters dying makes for better presentation of threat level...and you don't facepalm.

Last post by SiL - Today at 01:14:32 AMQuote from: Sabres21768 on Today at 12:33:30 AMThat's not really the way Bishop worded it though. For a throw away line, it would seem to explain something immediate, not days down the road.There's nothing at all to suggest it's immediate; Bishop couldn't possibly know that, since he's studying long-dead specimens. All he knows is that after they die the acid neutralises, allowing the thing to be studied.
But it's clearly not the instant they die, or the exploding Aliens throughout the film wouldn't be leaving all those acid burns.

Last post by GrimmVision - Today at 01:13:35 AMAnd if anyone is expecting Romulus to be completely free of character-made dumb decisions, I guess we're gonna have something else to talk about for 12 years

Last post by The Cruentus - Today at 01:12:02 AMQuote from: GrimmVision on Today at 01:05:11 AM• Dallas and Lambert insisting on bringing Kane back inside the Nostromo knowing they'd break quarantine guidelines
• The horror trope of splitting up
• Ripley going back for the cat
• The marines not listening to Apone or Gorman and firing their weapons in the area where they rupture the cooling system of the primary heat exchangers
• Ferro and Spunkmeyer keeping the dropship's cargo door open even after knowing several of their platoon just got annihilated by the Aliens
• Not keeping someone on Watch Burke Duty after they they find out he "made a bad call"
There's many an example where dumb decisions are made by characters within these films we love so much. We've just learned to deal with them because nostalgia while Prometheus and Covenant continue to get a bad rap.
Ash let them in so he broke quarantine. Ripley made it clear she wasn't going to let them in.
