Ridley Scott Says The Alien FX Series Will Be 8-10 Hours Long

[SiL]

I find the ancient dead space of a Planet of the Vampires redux infinitely  more interesting than "humans are the most important thing anywhere you look".

Reducing the vastness and possibility of the cosmos to humans and human looking aliens and humanoid robots with human desires is about as dull and myopic as it gets.

as dull and myopic as it gets.

That's what she said

Heyooooo

[BlueMarsalis79]

I did say that. But some seem incapable of contributing anything but.

[Local Trouble]

Elephant man, Giger world and Earth war or GTFO.

[Nightmare Asylum]

But Earth War explicitly didn't have a Giger world and just had the Aliens existing as part of some natural ecosystem where they weren't even at the top of the food chain.

[Local Trouble]

It doesn't have to be an adaptation of the comic.

This is actually where I find the games did the best job.

There stuff is there to be found on distant worlds. Abandoned, ancient. Structures, machines, hints of culture, but nothing truly concrete. Were they nefarious? Were they benevolent? AVP 2 handled it the way I would have if it had been me running the "Where do we take the franchise from here" after Resurrection.

The series didn't really hit its stride until we got the black goo.  That's what it always needed, but we just didn't know it.

(We've had a functional black goo since 1991)

You mean the jelly?

[Kradan]

Yes, he does. Tbh, I don't quite get the comparision @Corporal Hicks

[Local Trouble]

Are we going to get a version of Xeno-Zip with the black goo?  That could really turn this show into a raging success.

You mean the jelly?

Jelly?

Is this the stuff that they turned into space-steroids that started killing people in the comics?
