Watching Alien and Aliens back to back really makes one appreciate how much better Alien is. You guys should take some time off and do it in order to see for yourself.

I think they are very different films and cannot really be compared. I'm glad we got Aliens since it really expanded the universe and the story.

Alien is still my favorite

This.

Alien is equivalent to RE1, 2, 3 and Remake

Aliens is like RE4 and onward.

Hoes does Sup Forums rank Alien Isolation?

In all honesty, I view the Alien franchise a lot like the Terminator franchise in the fact that anything after the first sequel is non-canon. You can enjoy them for what they are though.

Alien and Prometheus > Alien: Covenant > Alien: Isolation > Alien 3 >>>>> Aliens > Alien Resurrection

Friendly reminder that cretinous Cameron fanboys ruined this franchise. Based Ridley Scott is doing his best to salvage what he can.

You are a very stupid perosn.

>GOAT sci-fi horror
>good action flick
I mean, there's even a debate?

You should stop this. Both are great and quite different from one another. If you want to talk bad alien movies we could talk prometheus.

I never cared for Aliens personally. I guess it's fine but it doesn't tickle my fancy the same way Alien did.

How much wouldve change aliens if ridley didnt delete the eggmorphing scene

Is the Alien movie the most feminist movie of all time?

Yes. It's also a movie men will never understand.

Fucking dolts.

>all the phallic symbolism (i.e. alien itself, how some scenes show his tail slowly touching the victim, the chest-burster, etc...)
>the alien parasite violates you orally and lays eggs inside you (the fear of unwanted impregnation)
>only men are killed in the movie and the female protagonist is faced will all these fears of rape and death, yet remains to save the day

I don't buy this argument at all because Aliens is a quite shameless retread of Alien and that's part of the reason why the difference in filmmaking becomes apparent. As an example, very little happens in Alien but each pivotal moment carries great impact because of the careful buildup that precedes them. Aliens is, in a way, pointlessly exhausting becase Cameron hurries from scene to scene, without creating a sense of momentum that carries on between them. There's so much flailing and yelling in the movie that when the marines finally get attacked for the first time it doesn't hit as hard as it could.

Aliens isn't bad. Alien is just better. In defense of Cameron, that one body shot of Ripley slowly turning around and seeing the queen is fucking flawless, you can practically feel the motion. It's the one time in the movie Cameron slowed down, maybe he made the movie the way he did just to get that contrast but as a payoff, I don't think it excuses him.

Both are great, you just prefer horror to action.

>Alien virgins are this insecure.

This just proves Aliens was the better movie.

Aliens made the franchise. No one remembers Alien.

Great game. I'd go as far as to say it's probably one of the best horror games ever made. It's also probably the last good thing that will come out of the alien franchise

>You guys should take some time off and do it in order to see for yourself.

I did just that.

>Alien
>Slow and boring
>Awful directing
>Uninteresting chracters
>A shitty slasher flick in space
>I don't remember anything about it after watching it

>Aliens
>Some of the most iconic characters in scifi
>Always keeps you interested because of how well its written
>Defined the scifi action genre
>Amazing direction
>I still remember everything about it because it's that good

Thanks op. Now I know the better movie.
>The one film that I remember

Aliens is better than Alien.
