Fuck

How bad compared to say Prometheus?

Not OP, but it's a lot more boring than Prometheus. There's some good scenes and Walter is fucking great...but it's much more dragged out.

Does it have enough plot holes to fill a small video of nothing but questions?

I liked prometheus, and this is still the only movie I'm looking forward to in 2017 or 18 besides blade runner.

Is it true there are gay robots in the movie?

No real plot holes. Just pacing and the characters are very reactionary. It's meant to be a theme that this crew is emotionally connected, but that isn't developed so it makes them look like dumbasses.

Oh...

prometheus is better, like FAR better, and thats saying something

and nothing gets answered
it could fill a large video of nothing but questions
just one

X-men brood saga

Aliens: Labyrinth is the one I remember the most

Ales Kot is on Twitter embarrassing himself saying that Covenant is a masterpiece and everyone will change their minds in a few years.

Here's volume 1 of the Aliens Omnibus
dropbox.com/s/na0zuoyh7i458wb/Aliens Omnibus Vol. 01 (2007) (digital) (Minutemen-Slayer).cbr?dl=0

There are some interesting and nicely done things about it, but yeah masterpiece far and away it is not.

>was super hyped to see this today
>everyone's reactions are reminding me of Aliens Colonial marines

GODDAMMIT I JUST WANT ONE GOOD ALIENS MOVIE TO COME OUT IN MY LIFETIME

SWEET thanks!

I know user, I feel you pain. Ive been waiting for this since that shitstorm prometheus came out

i called it from a mile away.

they literally had no plot to work with other than "happens after Prometheus", and working as a Prometheus prequel basically means trying to pick up the pieces from how shitty it was, it's poor creative vision, writing and premise.

Give up, i've been waiting since Alien Resurrection. It's not gonna happen. The franchise is too fucked, they've spent most of the decent ideas and they have too many retarded marketing goals to achieve.

Prometheus had some good action.

It kind of chacked the lore a bit, not always in a pleasing way, but at the very least, it brought an interesting perspective on a bigger world far beyond what we knew.

It concluded on an open ending that had a lot of potential, certainly least of them, that the scientist, , with the help of the android would confront the Engineers in some way.

Covenant ruined it all.

Covenant ruined it all with the characters. Who are almost all just props that say meaningless filler lines.

The direction and themes they're playing with are good, which is why the two characters who are at the center of those in the movie work the best, but everything else just drags it down cause we're following cut outs for a 2 hour long movie.

>they literally had no plot to work with other than "happens after Prometheus",

and they literally make it all happen off screen

>The direction and themes they're playing with are good,
>The direction
-Look inside that container. wink wink. I promise it's not a monster
-okay.

But really. What I am the most asspained about is how prometheus would scale things up and they scrapped it all as if it never mattered to make it feel like it fit the Alien formula again.

You should watch Planet of the Vampires if you haven't yet. Even if Alien didn't intentionally rip it off, everything since has.

I mean the direction of where this story is going. Where it is headed. It's pretty interesting in a purely A.I. story sense.

just read the comic Prometheus Fire and Stone.
is what the movie should had been and so much more.

>The original Alien implies that the Xenomorphs are ancient as fuck. With the pilot being outright fossilized.
>Prometheus and Covenant throw that right out the window.

They imply it, yes, but they didn't do any test. They just say it looks fossilized. None of them were paleontologist or archeologists.

Saw that coming, still going to watch it though.

>scene with walter and david fighting it out
>lol cutaway!
>takes another 20+ minutes to reveal the "twist" ending

That was so blunt and forced a cut I think it wasn't initially meant as a twist and Scott just cut it out to make it one in editing. Cause fuck that, Walter deserved a better send-off in any case.

It's like nobody cared about writing a script and the last person to receive the ball had to wrap it up in 20 minutes and asked his nephew to help him out.

>Walter learns everything about engineers
>doesnt explain shit and just nukes them

did kikes made new movie about end of the Roman Empire and start of dark ages? top kek.

>Walter learns everything about engineers
>Walter

-We had aliens that could literally pop up out of your lungs by breathing spores.
But he new improved version is now even better by having a face-hugger step that need to lay eggs in you that can still be removed surgically.
such an improvement.

I think the facehuggers are Shaw's contribution. Given how she birthed one when she was infected with the goo in Prometheus. David's obsessed mind might think of these things as their kids.

>Walter

dont give a shit. they all look the same to me.

The Neomorphs weren't nearly as smart as the traditional model.

So do they at least fucking answer what happened to Shaw, or what?

You know with how many Alien encounters humanity has had, you would think that any colony ship would have an escort of Marines.

Yes.

Read that Judge Dredd Alien crossover

yep.

Good news she finally had kids

It answers where the Aliens come from and connects the far worse Prometheus to Aliens.

yeah but they're even creepier since they have no facial features until they open their mouth. that was pretty awesome.

That's literally the plot of Aliens.
Covenant ruined the lore of ALien, but at least the continuity is consistent.
-Prometheus: Confrontation with the Neomorph and the engineers, no contact with Earth is made about the discovery. Shawn and Robot fly off to meet the engineer. No one else know about it.
-Covenant: the team get completly destroyed by robots, the neomorph and the finalised Aliens. Nobody on Earth know what happened.
-Alien. A new team get in contact with the Alien as we know it it. One survivor, come back to earth.
-Aliens: Let's bring a team armed to the death to make them discover the taste of bullets.

AVP is canon.

not really

shes dead and david killed her

despite being in love with her. they dont do shit to explain why or how she died

you literally just see her dead mutated on the table.

The throat burster was also way more effective to the audience I was watching with than the Backburster

>and connects the far worse Prometheus to Aliens.
You are delusional if you don't think covenant is Worst. Prometheus took the alien franchise in a new direction, but it was interesting and had potential. Covenant rujined everything that could have been good seeded by Prometheus.

How? The xenos were ancient in that film

>they dont do shit to explain why
David used her to further his experiments.

>or how she died
He killed her by experimenting on her

>despite being in love with her.
He probably thinks it was great honor to her.

trolling but still triggered me

>when the Alien Knock Off turns out to be better than the official new movie of the Alien franchise...

Ever since I saw the trailer that revealed that the characters were a bunch of couples out to create a colony, I was afraid that the only thing they got from Prometheus' critics is that they shouldn't make the characters scientists, because then people will call them out for being complete retards.

Was I far off?

they dont say any of that in the movie

you have to imply all of it.

if you have to imply half the damn plot your movie sucks

I liked Backburster even though it made no goddamn sense if the spore went into his ear. Throatburster was so dark I didn't even realize it came through the throat, I thought he threw it up

>they dont say any of that in the movie
>you have to imply all of it.

Her dissected corpse is in his mad laboratory.
There's a difference between "you have to imply" and the movie having two dots, arrows, and is already using string to connect them for you.

Prometheus can basically be summed up in one sentence. "Don't touch that you fucking moron"

Who says they can't be ancient? The black goo was around long before humanity, according to Prometheus.

They made them even dumber and it didn't improve a single thing.

Covenant could be summed up in: "Always follow orders, you fucking moron"

in this horrible future the AvP canon was actually better than the one we have now

mate do you even Ridley Scott?

Nearly 75 percent of the shit he has made requires reading between the lines. Jesus was a goddamn Engineer and that's why the Engineers were going to nuke Earth. Because humanity killed it. Ridley Scott kept that detail to HIMSELF for something like three years.

>was interesting and had potential
>chariots of the gods wank
>space jockeys are now vin diesel in giger leotard
>mutant astronauts
>giant squids
>vagina cobras

i mean ive grown to like it over the years since prometheus, but there were fuckin fan theories and comics for 20 years more interesting than what we got.

So we we think David killed her cause he could or was she doomed from being infected in the first movie and he loved her enough to see her into a new form?

I feel like its being held back for a big reveal in the third movie. His motives and everything.

I think he loved her and wanted to create.
But he can't reproduce and has no conception of how sex works, so he used the Goo to make it reality.

Why the fuck are you all removing your helmet on a new world you know nothing?
Prometheus and Covenant

She may have caused the crash and was dying anyway. David decided to honor her wish to have a legacy, except in the only way he knew how.

I think it's just being made up and stretched out and kept intentionally vague to keep justifying sequels.

My point is, covenant is worst. Because, at least, Prometheus brough new idea and ore to invest yourself in. Covenant swiped it all away.

I didn't say Promotheus was the best., but it was at least breaking the mold and getting out of the classic Alien movie-structure. then they tried to rush all back in to that with Covenant and it resulted in a mess that ruined it all.

well of course its obvious he experimented on her,

but at no point does he say "It was a great honor for her" or "I had to do what was necessary to make progress"

he just fucking gushes about her and how much he loves her and then "yup i killed her alright" they make no effort to clairify or even hint at what truly caused him to kill her other than "hurr durr mad scientist"

how'd he experiment on her to the point of her dying? did she struggle? how'd he capture her? why did she run from him in the first place? because of she found out about the engineers? did she ever get her answers about the engineers?

we get literally NONE of that in this movie.and if you say "oh well maybe theyll explain it in the next one". Thats the same garbage they said about prometheus and look what happened

ok i just wanna know the most important aspect:

does the alien look good? i heard theres too much cgi but also there was a real practical suit?

>how'd he capture her? why did she run from him in the first place? because of she found out about the engineers?

The movie wasn't good, but how can you be capable of understanding what went one and then refuse to accept it because you want to be SPOONFED.

Also did David download himself into Walter? Seems a stretch he fixed himself up and got the computer for recognize him. Also were those engineers or another child species?

this.
this a thousand times
I could only tell it was a suit in maybe 2 short ass shots

the cgi is ugly on the xeno, it literally clips through walls like a bad game.

neomorphs look cool though .

It doesn't look good. The movements are way too unrealistic and video-gamey at points.

The Neomorph gets a really freaky close up though. Genuinely eerie.

>Also did David download himself into Walter?
Walter can regenerate from scars and minor damage, like the one David has on his cheek.
So, nah.

As far as I'm concerned the only things that are canon in the Aliens verse are Alien, Alien Isolation and Aliens.

thanks for the comic user

>wanting to see the story of the main character from the last movie
>wanting to be spoonfed

go eat a pile of cocks you tremendous fag lord

yes or no

So how the FUCK did the facehuggers end up on LV-426?

You literally just made the connection YOURSELF and are whining because the characters didn't say it out loud.

>Alien Isolation
Wait, they actually cared to make that game fit in the canon?

How does it scale up, to Rogue One, for example?

>We will never get a proper Aliens vs Predator movie with the Colonial Marines versus the Predators vs the Aliens.

>no alien 3

shit taste

>Alien Isolation
>In limitless space and with the number of people living in the explored universe in what I can only assume are octuple digits, I randomly have to go through the EXACT SAME SHIT my mom did
Yeah, fuck you. It might be a decent game, but from a story perspective it's rubbish.

Well, when a daddy robot and a mommy human love each other very much, they commit genocide and seeds random planet with the perfect life-form.

I didnt go see a movie to "make connections"

I went to see a movie play out and actually HAPPEN

I wish they kept Shaw alive. She would have been a better character at this point. Having new people and watching them flip out over every loss is just boring unless you have time to know them first. Show could have been the hard ass we need as a protagonist.

I dont know how they work her in next to David though. She wanted to know about the secrets of the past and understand why things are the way they are. He is passed giving a fuck or has learned enough and wants to shape the future.

Its kind of funny I was thinking he could turn that fucking ship toward earth and use the colonists he has now to make a fucking huge number of aliens to infect earth. There is like 1k asleep right? He could perfect his shit by the time he gets there.

Not this movie though. It's not about her.
Complain about that, not about the shit you are.

>I liked prometheus

why tho

At the time of this movie the number is 1. It's a prequel.

Although as far as I am concerned, the Alien franchise consists of Alien, Aliens and Alien 3.

Because the rest of it is basically Jar Jar material.

its about the same level of quality as prometheus, but its worse overall because it shits on the actual alien, instead of using the worms/squid/whatever else was in prometheus

Wait, hold up
>Walter
They named the robot fucking "Walter"?
They didn't even care to keep with the naming theme?

I just can't forgive what Alien 3 did to Newt and Hicks. They deserved their happy ending there.

I don't mind because it's not an all new model, just an upgraded David.

And David and Walter then reference the names of the producers of the series.

THATS WHAT IM DOING!

Why is this movie not about her shit? that was actually an interesting plot thread to follow rather than a bunch of literally who couples who almost all die like cattle.

they do fuck all for shaw despite her being the main protag of the last film and thats fucking stupid.

why even include her at all if you are just going to take a fat dump all over her character arc?

hated em at first. the gigeresque biosuits make them bearable though and they do have a creepyness to them

I think walter may be my new favourite android, even over bishop

Still the best Expanded universe Alien character

Walter was really great. He's the most monotone one we've seen, but that's incredibly endearing for what he does.

>And David and Walter then reference the names of the producers of the series.
As if the movie sucking their dicks makes it better.
