i fucking love McBride

I wanted noomi to come back
I like noomi

and The Martian was great but, it doesnt mean it will be good, but yes im optimistic

>one of the davids has nearly no screentime and his act is basically "getting caught was part of my plan"
>jungle weirdness is actually not that weird
>noomi does some incomprehensible shit that crashes a ship or something at most
>bunch of new aliens nobody asked for and that serve no purpose (backburster? how about footburster next? morons)
>wayland prologue is 2 minutes long
>new characters who won't be developed enough and who take time away from developing the previous main character who is still in the movie anyway
>competent dialogue
>dry atmosphere because we won't connect to any character like we did in Alien and Aliens

This is how it will turn out.

Noomi will be back, but not for long. I'm guessing that she is either going to be in a flashback, or she is secretly the villain.

Kino poetry or some shit.

>prometheus
>one of the worst sci-fi movies ever made

watch more movies, idiot

I agree with everything other than "worst sci-fi movies ever made". Though if Prometheus didn't look so good, didn't have an atmosphere reminiscent of the original Alien and wasn't at least a thinly veiled attempt to rip off a Lovecraft story I probably would have hated it.

>cautiously optimistic

fuck off faggot

I am genuinely not memeing when I say Prometheus was a mistake. Utterly kills the horror of Alien, the movie's whole QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED shtick was a lie, subpar acting from everyone apart from Fassburger who was pretty good. Pretty visuals do not a good movie make alone. I find it funny they didn't have the courage to call it Prometheus 2 because they knew how divisive that movie was.

Too many long words for you?

Why can't they let the franchise die already. Giger is dead, and James Cameron is off directing blue cat people.
Just stop producing any more Aliens or Terminator movies. Just stop, please.

>Ever, even remotely thinking about possibly being cautiously optimistic for a Ridley Scott movie

You're like a battered wife.

At least the trailers will be awesome.

>Guy Pearce

Aliens was shit and completely destroyed any horror that the xenomorphs had.

Prometheus was better, even with Lindelof's shitty writing.

>Prometheus was better

Yeah because giving the monster a backstory and clear origin adds to the horror!

They're both fucking shit.

>concept art making it into the final product

>lindelof nowhere to be found
Honestly it's GOAT already

>McBride in a serious role
Fucking yes

Prometheus was dumpster fire but I liked Exodus Gods and Kings. He's still a good director he just needs good scripts. The Martian was fine but boring.

>Prometheus
>backstory and clear origin

Did we watch the same movie

>it was le black goo!
>actually shows the space jockeys and gives them a generic sci-fi precursor race name

It's an Alien origin movie and it's mere existence is a mistake.

>Noomi Rapace

For some reason I always read her last name as Noomi Rapeface

I'd like noomi all over her face, if you know what I mean

>The Martian was great.
Opinion discarded.

What's your obsession with the xenomorph anyway? Are you a fag?

Is there anything more painful than listening to retard reddit refugees talk about Prometheus?

>HUR DUR WHY DIDN'T THEY RUN LEFT LOLZ 0/10 NEEDED MORE QUIPS

The only reason they changed the name and the over all plot was to keep the idiot masses happy and then the idiot masses complain about it. Sounds about right.

>muh space jockey isn't a big elephant man
>wah

What's it like lapping up pseudo-intellectual wankery shat out by mediocre filmmakers, user? I mean, does Prometheus really mean this much to you?

Do differing opinions hurt you, user?

Must suck being so cynical all the time

Nope. I'm not the one crying on my keyboard because they didn't like the backstory in Prometheus while others did.

cuck

Everything past Alien is garbage

Sounds to me you're crying because someone pointed out how bad it is and you can't handle it.

Bravo, top tier argument

so what, are they supposed to make the 7th film with the original xenomorph? is that what you'd rather see?

I'd rather not see any more, you mong.

...

oh, sorry, I didn't realize you would be forced to watch it. you're talking like theyre wasting their big chance to make the perfect alien film.

Oh you just don't have any integrity or principals, that's cool. You just eat that up, user.

>still typing though his tears

>stealing monster designs from Dr. Who now
It's gonna be shit

I-Is that Snoke?

>principals

...

you know what
fuck you

>backbursters

hollywood creativity at is very highest

>muh cgi woooow

>pseudo-intellectual wankery shat out by mediocre filmmakers
Are you trying to impress me or critique the film, because either way you are failing miserably.

>Utterly kills the horror of Alien
You mean like arguably Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, Alien vs Predator, Alien vs Predator 2, and countless shitty comics and videogames did?

Not him, but yes. Also, I'd add Aliens to your list.

No one can say that movie doesn't look amazing. The script is dogshit though.

clone ripley kicked major ass though
a 50 year old woman with acid blood who can shoot hoops without looking is scary and if you can't recognize that it's prolyl the autism

cuck

If the movie contains even half of any of that, it will be KOTY.

I heard from a cousin's friend, I mean a friend's cousin, that they're working on an Aliens sequel about a grown-up Newt (she survived the crash), with a patched together but still fucked up Bishop as her sidekick, and they're out for TOTAL XENOMORPH EXTERMINATION. It's gonna star Chloë Grace Moretz and I think she has like a pulse rifle for a leg or something.

Alien 3 tried to return the horror element. It should be replaced with Aliens on that list.

>naturalistic dialogue
what did he mean by this?

>qt new protagonist
you mean Ripley's mom

>writer of Green Lantern
It's fucked.

Jesus fucking christ she is amazingly cute but looks exactly like her haggardly troll father and it confuse my dick so much

TIGHT

BOI

This pretty much.

Aliens might have destroyed the horror of the xenomorph but it wasn't a shit movie in it's own right.

>So what if Brie Larson was Jewish and a 6?

>Say no more senpai

face like a smashed potato

Katherine is taller

Eww what the fuck could possibly compel you to put that dress on your body and go out in public?

better?

this.

legitimately excited to go see it in a cinema, been a long time since I've had a film release that I look forward to
I remember seeing prometheus on release with a group of friends and it was pretty great
And with regards to how good it looks/whatever, I don't care that much as long as it's interesting and fills a decent amount of gaps in the story
good david scenes is a bonus

It was crap.
>S C I E N C E

like how me and my asteroid mining m8s actually talk when on mish, duh

Yeah I heard the same thing. It was what your retarded grandfather said before I killed him by drowning him in my liquid shit mixed with his own shit. Sorry, the old fuck had to go

dude science this shit lol!!

>2 Davids

Source in this nonsense?

they should remake prometheus, and alien 3

just sayin

>weird jungle world corrupted by black goo with varied xenomorph-esque animals

We /comics/ now?

Are there Prometheus or Alien comics worth reading?

I've always steered clear because I despise the action shit in Aliens and the whole direction the franchise went after that and it seems like that's what the comics are. But Prometheus had TONS or world building and would lend itself well to EU.

So, any chance Pred will make an appearance?

You know what gets me? Prometheus had many more sets and took place on a shit, in the ancient ruins of a another ship and out on the surface of a planet yet SOMEHOW felt smaller than the original Alien film in scale by the end of it.

Lurk more and don't try to free-form it so much, OK, shitlord?

So essentially like that Prometheus Fire and Stone comic?

avpgalaxy.net/2016/10/30/introducing-walter-alien-covenants-new-synthetic/

yes

im so fucking pissed that its not a direct sequel

Dat ayy want to gibe de succ

Lurk more and don't try to free-form it so much, OK, shitlord?

No, it is low quality dumb shit.
>MYSTERIOUS PLANET
>LET'S EXPLORE IT
>FACEHUGGERS AND ALIENS EVERYWHERE
>RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
It is literally that stupid.

it starts out interesting and then devolves into terrible Aliens fanfiction when it turns out the survivors of Hadley's Hope managed to escape and landed on the planet that coincidentally was fucked by black goo, and they brought xenomorphs with them

and then it went full pants-shittingly awful when the predators show up

Terrible actor. The bit where she cried because she couldn't have kids was bullshit.

You do realise no one would be scares of the aliens anyway after the xeno was fully revealed in the first film? They knew it would have been pointless to try, hence the action orientation.

Stop taking the bait and post your favorite thing about Star Wars.

For me its the beautiful and interesting worlds.

Just jew me the fuck up.
reminder that judaized stories are not canon.

I hope we see Noomi's tits.

>>two Davids working against each other
Fuck off.

I liked her in the Millenniumm flick, but not so much in the Prometheus.
