Looks like Weyland-Yutani™ finally weaponized the Aliens™.
I thought aliens didn't have eyes. What's going on in the pic?
>>68827995
Cool fan art but I never got this concept of "weaponizing" the aliens. Literally anything they can do a drone can do better
Greetings dear partners of Weyland-Yutani™
We represent a certain group of people interested in this new and bold product.
We will contact you soon via more secured comms.
>>68828072
This
I was thinking the exact same thing throughout Jurassic World

>>68828072
Aliens can fuck shit up and are cheap to produce. All you need is an animal and a facehugger.
>>68828071
Probably some sort of control-cam.
>>68828071
Of course they have eyes.
>>68828072
>>68828110
Can they infiltrate your rivals corporation's ships and D.U.M.B. by camouflaging itself in the cables and mechanical components, making it the perfect infiltrator?
>>68828071
>>68828072
>smuggle on alien into enemy territory and let it loose
>they multiply
>enemies lose all control of that region
they don't even need to weaponize these things.
They just need to dunk them in any civilian center.
>>68828071
If Aliens Don't Have Eyes Then How Can They See Mirrors?
>>68828120
i think the traditional alien that you and i are familiar with is actually what happens when a facehugger hits a human. i don't know if a xenomorph would be different if it attached itself to a dog or a yak, for example.
>>68828071
Aliens have eyes beneath their protective outer armor skin thing.
>>68828120
They also risk breaking free and destroying an entire planet. The cost benefit ratio would be in the drones favor.
>>68828072
>>68828110
Aliens literally are drones you imbeciles. Like ants no real free will. They're literally weapons made by the engineers
>>68828236
The only difference is when a drone breaks it just crashes and burns. When an alien breaks they destroy your entire military base and most likely the whole planet.
>>68828236
>engineers
>>68828220
In alien 3 it was either a dog or a yak depending on which cut you watch.
>>68828220
You haven't seen Alien 3? The Xeno in that movie is called a "Runner". It is produced when a facehugger jumps on a dogs face.
>>68827995
Jesus fuck is this real?
I want to say it's not but literally every installment in the Alien series is more fanfic than the last.
>>68828220
They should put an alien dog in a film! It would surely turn out well!
>>68828228
Not if they are weaponized and controlled. Like in OPs fan-art.
Is Neil Blomkamp still making an Aliens film
>>68828101
God you're a fucking nerd. Go get a girlfriend.
>>68828329
A>>68828236
lready happened in Alien 3, retard. It's called a "Runner".
>>68827995
>>68828323
its just some fan art
not real
i wish it was tho
>>68828363
Yes.
>>68828363
Ya he is. its just being put on hold till scott finishes his alien movie.
>>68827995
What was so bad about studying xenomorphs anyway? Why was that Ripley woman so against it? She seemed illegal to me. We have so much to learn from them.
>>68828363
I don't have a fucking clue anymore senpai
Blomkamp was making Alien 5 and then Ridley decided he wanted to make Prometheus 2 and then Ridley decided he wanted Prometheus 2 to be Alien 5 but they were still both being made and now who the fuck knows.
I wish this piece of shit was never made. It completely ruins the mystey of the Space Jockey from Alien.
Xenomorphs are dogshit as a bioweapon
>>68828188
>camouflaging itself in the cables and mechanical components
Drones a made with cables and mechanical components so yes
>>68828570
>eat the current population
>replace the population by itself
It god damn effective.
>>68828501
Prometheus could have been so much better.
http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Beluga-Xenomorph
>>68828501
Fuck off retard
>>68828594
apply yourself
>>68828694
Damn shame really, the Beluga-Xeno looks creepy
>>68828697
Fuck of yourself, Scottdrone.
>>68828815
Name 5 things wrong with the movie.
>inb4 extremely petty reasons
>>68828380
Holy shit! I never knew that! Was the film well received?!
>>68828880
Not really. It was a attempt to emulate the style of the first film and it was a failure on pretty much every front.
Imagine if everything great about Alien was mediocre and you have Alien 3.
>>68828690
compared to dropping an airborne virus that kills everybody and then dies out so you can just waltz in and take over, Aliens really suck.
Frankly, you'd be better off just pouring rat poison into the water supply.

I could go on.
>>68828694
Every single change Damon Lindelof made to the script made it way worse. The original script would've made for a great movie, instead of the mediocre one we got.
>>68828690
they probably have a pre calculated life length so they die after completing their mission
>>68828880
The theatrical cut is supposed to be awful, but the Assembly Cut isn't bad.
>>68827995
>we want the Jurassic World audience
>>68828169
>eye sockets = eyes
No.
A human VR controlling an alien would just slow the alien down. It would be a better weapon in its natural state. Also this destroys all the fear of the xenomorph. You are literally saying that humans can control the uncontrollable and make it not scary. A serial killer is scary. A serial killer under the control of a VR mind control machine is not scary.
>>68829122
>engineers having the same DNA as humans
It was established at the beginning of the movie that they created us.
>they send only seven people
They sent much more than that. Atleast 4 people died when the black goo zombie attacked them. And it was 2090, how many people do you expect to fit on a new spaceship that traveling further than any other human beings at this point? It was probably at capacity as is.
>they send no soldiers
probably because it was a venture by a private company? If you were actually paying attention than you would see that there were "military type" people guarding weyland as well as fighting the black goo zombie.
>the whole caesarean scene
Literally nothing wrong with it.
Burke's death scene is so lame, I expected to see his head to burst open and blood spurt everywhere. Instead it happens off-camera.
>>68829125
Every bad idea in the script came directly from Ridley Scott. And most of his even worse ideas were cut from the film. He actually wanted Jesus to be an Engineer and their attack against Earth was retaliation for crucifying Jesus the Engineer. Not even joking. Ridley admitted this in an interview. He actually thought it was a good idea. Ridley Scott is the George Lucas of kino.
>>68829122
>>Engineers having same DNA as humans
Explained in the movie
>>Vickers not running left or right when chased by the Engineer starship
Stupid nitpick
>>Redhead(Sean Harris) with map gets lost, even though he's the guy with map on his wrist
Don't remember but you're probably right
>>Scientist man trying to pet the Snake-Alien(wich was hissing at him. Even though earlier in the film, he was afraid of an Engineer corpse.
Don't really see how the two are related although I agree the character was behaving very stupidly for plot reasons
>>They send only seven people for first contact?
Explained in the movie
>>They send no soldiers?
Explained in the movie
>>The whole Caesarean section scene.
Literally the best scene of the movie and the one with the heaviest Alien vibe
Promethus had stellar visuals and atmosphere and a great serious sci-fi style which I appreciate. It definitely had issues which mostly came from the script and Lindelof fuckery but so many of the "flaws" I see listed are nitpicks or retarded meme shit that apply to any movie (WHY DIDN'T THEY GO THIS WAY INSTEAD OF THAT WAY??? 0/10)
>>68829449
How is that a bad idea?
>>68829349
>serial killer controlled by vr
This movie is eventually going to get made.
>>68829422
Why couldn't the medical machine recognize Shaw as female? I mean, a machine only built to deal with males should have that function. And apparently it has a caesarean operation programmed into it? what.
>>68829482
Well, all the characters except for Fassbender were all pretty bland and forgettable. Atleast I cared about the crew in the original Alien.
>>68828169
That's really spooky
>>68829122
You forgot the scene when Sean Harris smoked weed inside his space suit. I mean what is this? Friday the 13th in space? Only good thing about Prometheus was the visuals and the sound-design.
>>68829606
The machine was designed for weyland you retard. And it wasn't even a caesarean program meant for pregnancies, it was an operation to remove a foreign object from the body.
>>68829482
Dont bother. Kids cannot get past contrarian nit-picking.
>>68829606
There's a dumb plot twist where the machine was designed only for men because it was made for Weyland. Yeah this makes no sense. Yeah this is stupid. We all know how dumb that is. But that's what they did.
>>68829569
They already did something similar with that guy from 300, you know the guy that was in almost every movie up until like 2 yrs ago, and now he's a literal who, gerard butler.
>>68828880
I think I saw the longer cut and it was enjoyable, not as good as the previous films though
>>68829882
Gamer? Dexter and his dance was the only good thing in that movie.

How good/bad career can you expect upon joining Weyland-Yutani, /tv/?
>>68828501
Never happened, as far as I'm concerned. Just ignore its existence, and deny it whenever it's brought up.
>>68830279
was that ludacris in the second to last shot
>>68830391
This, just like TFA
Headcanon is best canon
>>68827995
Uhhh they're already weapons. They weaponized weapons.
>>68830441
yes
>>68830370

IT guy
>you're gonna get raped while watching the back of your fellow co-workers
>>68830451
This as well, headcanon is best canon
>>68829749
Still it was a shit movie. with boring characters and a plot that just left you confused in the end.
>>68829296
Why have eye sockets and not eyes?
Anyone listen to the new Audible Audiodrama yet?
It's pretty neat so far, but the pacing is pretty wonky. 20-30 minutes in and shit is going down. It's more Aliens than Alien I think.
Here's a teaser:
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8vFhHLXqCw
>>68828289
You know... that big guy in the chair in the start of Alien...
>>68828501
Ruins what? Nothing was ever explained.. it expands on the mystery. I fucking hate the unknown, it's kinda counter to sci-fi, unless you want that lovecraftian mysticism. Which is Sci-Fantasy at best.
>>68829438
I know, who doesn't want to see him die, to justify the hatred we gots for him. it's very much true.
>>68829749
You're right, and no one understands the slow pacing with the lawrence of arabia ferences the style they were going for. It's too bad, but it's going to be a trilogy so FUCK YALL HATERS
>>68829122
>m-muh plot holes
>>68831637
I mean, it ruins the appearance of the Space Jockey. They are basically just Seth from Street Fighter. I excpected some kind of H.R. Giger creature underneath that Space Jockey suit.
That looks retarded, the aliens are some biomechanical fuckery, if anything, they should be making biosuits or improving human soldiers with alien DNA or making their own line of aliens give then fact that the engineers probably have worst monsters in their arsenal.
>>68827995
there was a tribe of predators in the comic that did the same thing and openly hunted non violent civilizations to extinction
>you will never be a Colonial Marine
>you will never be an ultimate badass
>you will never pound that Wey-Yu qt
God, it hurts.
>>68831888
To be fair Giger's intention wasn't far off
>>68828169
>>68828204
That's assuming they birth from human beings
>>68828315
>It is produced when a facehugger jumps on a dogs face.
But not if you watch the director's cut in which it bursts through a mangy, flea-ridden ox.
>>68828431
Prometheus 2?
Question to the thread.
Is there any director with as large a 'active/inactive/on hold' project list than Ridley?
>>68832384
Prometheus 2 is now an Alien movie
>>68832474
Huh. Cool.
>>68832429
>>68829122
>Caesarean section
Fuck that scene, just a whole scene devoted to a blunt political rant of "abortion is good"
>machine that only recognize male anatomy
Represents a society without abortion services thus showing the suffering and side stepping measures women take to kill their human fetuses which they see as parasites.
>>68827995
Don't they talk about how Walmart bought the Earth or something gay in Aliens 4?
>>68828347
You'd have to get a hold of each individual Alien baby and do that. When by this time it'd be far easier to just to it with droids. And there's no risk of the Xbox or whatever falling off.
>>68828072
>>68827995
If you take Prometheus lore as canon they were always weaponized.
>>68832384
>>68832500
>Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.[1]
>>68832219
It's amazing what Giger got away with in the Aliens films.
>>68832510
>just a whole scene devoted to a blunt political rant of "abortion is good"
Here's your (You)
Is the original Alien unintentionally the best Lovecraft movie ever made?
>>68832510
>Fuck that scene, just a whole scene devoted to a blunt political rant of "abortion is good"
>implying that if you had one of those fucking things in you, you wouldn't hit the big escape button
Don't read too much into everything you see, you overly-sensitive jackass
>>68832593
Sounds like the setup to the first Alien.
Hopefully Ridley will make Legend II after he makes Blade Runner 2
>>68832510
>any alien movie
>political agenda
>and above all: fuck context
>>68832661
No. It has nothing to do with Lovecraft, you trenchcoat-wearing teenager who only found out about Lovecraft's work a week ago.
Idiot.
>>68832593
>>68832694
Sounds like the setup to a third of all Trek TOS episodes
>>68827995
Aliens are shitty weapons and the entire concept is retarded fan wank.
What fucking advantage does that rig have that an alien shaped android would not?
>>68827995
This looks terrible and considering that it's that retard from District 9 directing it'll probably be worse than terrible.
>>68832510
>Fuck that scene, just a whole scene devoted to a blunt political rant of "abortion is good"
You are a straight up loony if that's what you got out of that. It must be exhausting being a victim all the time seeing conspiracies everywhere.
>>68832593
Mite be cool
>>68828315
Did it really have those luscious lips in the film? Mu hidck
>>68832340
>That's assuming they birth from human beings
Or anything with eyes, they're capable of living in vacuum, the eyes would have to be sealed for that.
>>68828371
Not even him but holy shit man really
>nerd
>get a gf
Fuck off back to R E D D I T.
>>68829296
Nature does some freaky shit. Besides, you can see its eyes in that image, they are jet black.
>>68832670
It's pretty fucking blunt in its message. They use the word pregnant/fetus as the description of the octofacehugger which was made from regular sex. You'd have to be really dense not to make the connection.
>>68832661
It's really got nothing to do with Lovecraft. The only Lovecraftian thing I guess would be the mystery of what the Engineers were. Event Horizon has more to do with Lovecraft than Alien
>>68832771
Why would you even use an alien shaped android. Just get a floating gun with an AI.
>>68827995
>Just EMP my shit up
>>68832854
your back must hurt from stretching to reach that.
>>68832854
You'd have to be pretty dense to think that a film series which features, and plays on, the fear of rape and impregnation would have any other "message" than GET THAT FUCKING ALIEN MONSTER THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR BODY
>>68828776
>That eyeless grin

>>68832866
I don't think it's nuts to say At the Mountains of Madness could have influenced the planet portion. Although definitely not as much as Planet of the Vampires and Rendezvous with Rama
Worth noting that the writer Dan O'Bannon is a huge nerd who has always credited comics, sci-fi, monster movies, genre fiction, etc. as his influences and he also went on to direct a Lovecraft adaptation in The Resurrected.
.
>>68832869
>Why would you even use an alien shaped android.
Because you want aliens for some story based reason. I'm just saying they already have an in-universe solution to their in-universe problem that's solves it better than their story's solution.
>>68832913
>>68832920
>>68832854
>>68832670
All H.R. Giger stuff was pure sex and symbolism. Like full on teen metal band edgy.
>>68832565
>If you take Prometheus lore
I don't even understand Prometheas' lore
>>68833017
I know that, but to think that the surgery scene in Prometheus has a political message is reaching for the stars and missing every single one
>>68828694
>>68828501
remember how hard ridley was saying it wont be an alien movie. that dude has lost his fucking mind. what a piece of shit movie.
>>68828219
Lol
>>68833094
When I first saw it I thought he just put the Alien shit in because there was no way FOX would pay for a big budget original sci-fi horror film. Now he's turning the sequel into an Alien prequel and taking Alien 5 away from another director so I don't know what to think.
>>68832920
So your argument is "yes I agree". Well thanks, not sure what is the point of getting mad if you agree.
For the record, this isn't the first time they did a "remove a alien surgically" none of the prior times did it bluntly associate with reproductive rights by having the machine not recognize female bodies. Without that addition it probably wouldn't feel as blunt of a statement of giving women a licence to kill.
>>68833081
It did though. Not that I cared a bit. Only one person even mentioned it who saw it with me. But, it isn't for political shit, just for shock value.
>>68829349
>Control the alien so it doesnt rape your face
>Get it to destination
>Release
>Control it back to a containment cage
Anyone have a link to an archive with the Alien/Prometheus comics? I've been itching to read them again
>>68832510
>>68832854
>>68833171
Welp I guess we better add "body horror in all of its forms" to the growing list of shit that triggers /pol/
>>68833171
>this isn't the first time they did a "remove a alien surgically"
Exactly, so what are you complaining about?
Fucking hell, your sort will look for anything to shout about, even when it doesn't exist.
There were no politics behind that scene. Don't try to insert your own meaning into movie scenes that are blatantly filmed and included for narrative and body-shock purposes.
>>68828329
>>68828880
>trying to use sarcasm among autists
>Weaponise Aliens
>???
>Profit
Seriousy in the first movie, maybe the first two at a push it made sense for them to go to all that trouble to get an Alien. But there's literally no reason for them to be as determined to get one as they have been.
What exactly is the advantage of having a violent, uncontrollable killing machine that can turn entire planets into hives of others of its kind? It's like releasing a deadly airborne super virus to kill your enemies. Yeah sure they're dead, but now you've got to deal with the problem you unleashed.
>>68833523
It's sci-fi, it don't haveta explain shit
Just enjoy the story you autist.
>>68832969
>those fucking subtitles
>>68833400
That in the one case where they most associate the alien with regular pregnancy is also the one time that the machine isn't programed to normally perform that operation, requiring whats her face to basically perform a back alley abortion in the face of being denied proper services.

TO: ALL WY-ESM SECURITY CLEARANCE 5 OR HIGHER
The xenomorph represents a wellspring of potential research and development for the Company. From materials research to the Biomed Division, the radical differences between this life form and any found on Earth can revolutionize the way we do everything from manufacture spacecraft to treat our parents' diseases. There are billions to be made in the weapons sector alone, but that isn't looking at the bigger picture. If we can replicate the biological structure of the xenomorph, we could grow skyscrapers, or starships. This organism represents the future of human industry, and it is important that Weyland-Yutani scientists get their hands on samples. It is also worth remembering that investment now will pay off in the future: the sooner the Company can get specimens, the farther ahead of our competitors we can get. The capture of live samples should be made our - and your - top priority, as should the restriction of our competitors' access to these unique and highly profitable life forms.
Thank you again.

So originally it was actually set on LV-426 as well? Fucking hell Prometheus sucked so much ballsack. It has no reason to even exist, it explains precisely jack shit about the Engineers or the Xenomorphs and doesn't even set up the events for Alien.
>Oh look at us, we're making a prequel to Alien, but it's like totally not a prequel because it's not the same planet lmao. It's totally it's own thing and is capable of standing on its own two feet as a sci-fi movie srsly.
Wasn't it Abrams who fucked this up? I know it was some Lost writer.

So you weren't even paying attention, you lousy piss weasel.
>>68833835

You can remember scenes and characters without remembering their names autist. Stay butthurt and in denial that your precious movie franchise has liberal writers like everything in hollywood.
>>68833902
What the fuck are you even talking about?
Are you alright?
>>68833956
You sperged out because I don't remember the name of the cunt who survives the movie with David's head.
If all you have left is pathetic little nitpicks of my posts then just fuck off.
>>68834022
This isn't debate club.
You talked your silly agenda about the surgery scene in Prometheus having a political message, and I stupidly replied to your garbage saying that given the nature of having a fucking alien in your chest/womb you'd eject that motherfucker too.
So I'll type it all out again; you're full of shit and no, I don't have anything better to do right now.
I just read what I think is the comic tie in today. It had a black female lead and synthetic people that looked like the ones from that new game
>>68834296
damn dude you don't have to get so upset about some dude on 4chan talking about a fucking alien movie
