Alien: Romulus / Re: Alien: Romulus Catch-All T...

Last post by razeak - Today at 05:22:09 PM

They've replaced them with spikes on the finger pads.

So for what I've been reading these Xenos are not pure Xenos from a certain point of view since they were breed from Big Chaps DNA. Therefore Facehuggers and Xenos will be different?

Edit1: I mean I don't want to sound like a purist but I would love to have original deisgns such as Big Chap and facehuggers, I understand that a new movie demands new merchandise for marketing purposes so variants and modifications are needed I just wish that they would have keep or stayed to true to the originals.

I very much prefer the nails. If I were to guess, they probably discussed WHY it seems so difficult to remove one, and honestly that's fair....mostly.  If you had a couple of people to grab fingers and uncoil the tail, it shouldn't be too difficult. Assuming it's weight to strength ratio is similar to most Earth creatures.

They probably thought of a way to better explain how they are hard to get off.

I always preferred the idea that facehuggers are inordinately strong for their size beyond the realm of human understanding.  The idea of tearing the face off is pretty awesome though, and I imagine we will see that. I would have thrown a barbed schlong in for good measure.

Visually, the nails are awesome.

I imagine with Marichek, the colonists said f**k it and just yanked it off hoping to at least keep another one from being born and got fantastically gory results.

Hmmm......a prequel project suddenly doesn't sound so bad for Hadley's Hope, at least visually.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...

When an idea makes Covenant and Prometheus look leagues better.....you really dropped the ball.

Mike's Monsters...bro....you were so right. I'll watch the full video this week, but wow.

Also....the anti-"Muh Noot 'n' Hix!1!" crowd is starting to sound almost as whiny as the ones they are bagging on.  You're beating a dead horse too. haha.

The Ripley Xeno suit always had me way more concerned than literally anything else. It looked like something from Ben 10.

I pronounce it as "Predator".  There is no "Yautja" within my dojo.

We won't have any repaints here. It'll be all new tooling and sculpt for this one.

Overall I'm just disappointed for Biehn who, though I love A3, I'm never a huge fan of characters being killed off screen for a cheap emotional impacts (similar with Newt) and shoddy writing.
Plus, would've loved to have seen him appear in another major motion picture.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...

I'd heard "Awakening" for Blomkamp's, but I did not have enough confirmation to put that one in the video. Did Ridley call it something like that once?

I had guessed that Blomkamp's movie was set to be titled either 'Alien: Awakening' or 'Alien: Awakened' years ago, because when the movie was still set to be made, Blomkamp made a comment along the lines of "I won't divulge the movie's title just yet, as it's a bit of a spoiler in terms of the movie's plot".  That immediately made me think that it would relate to Blomkamp retconning Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection as being nightmares that Ripley had during her stay in Hypersleep during their return to Earth after Aliens.

Needless to say, I remain very glad that Blomkamp's movie never got made.  It always looked and sounded awful and this latest news only cements that for me.  I never understood why so many people had faith in Niell "One Hit Wonder" Blomkamp to make something superior to Ridley Scott's prequels.  I mean, did they actually see the concept art?  'Member Berries and retcons designed to appease the "Muh Noot 'n' Hix!1!" crowd looked good to them, did it?  Yeah, sure and the Star Wars sequel trilogy is aces too...  what a joke.

I've always maintained that we dodged a bullet with this shitfest of a concept, and after learning new details, I'm doubling down; The fact that there are people out there lamenting the loss of this, who still feel this would be a better alternative to Alien 3 absolutely blows my mind.

There's not one single part of this movie idea remotely interested me; Pensioners Ripley and Hicks going against the perfect organism? Nope. Aesthetics in the concept art? Nope. Spider-Xeno? Nope. Old Ellen Ripley playing dress-up as a queen to fight yet another queen and ride on the power loader memberberries? Nope. Aliens using human DNA to build a spacecraft that for some reason has a pilot seat and a pilot and puts out a warning beacon to tell potential hosts to stay away? Nope. Complete and utter fanfiction trash that doesn't even deserve an expanded universe adaptation.

Keep Blomkamp as far away from this franchise as possible.

Daniels, definitely intentionally a Ripley like, because the film subverts that through David winning.

Can you name any weapon from A3, Res, Prometheus or Covenant

Lacrima 99 Shockrifle, Draco Double Burner, ES-4 Electrostatic Pistol, ES-7 Supernova Electrostatic Shockgun, Flammenwerfer 3 Heavy Incineration Unit, and the RMC F903WE Automatic Assault Rifle.

A smorgasbord of terrible ideas from the creator of Chappie and Demonic.

I guess I just like weird shit ...like the wooden planet or so to speak 👉👈

Would love so much to see Ward's wooden planet (monks included, please and thank you) utilized somewhere.
