that comment wasn't aimed at anybody except for marvel... I wish I could buy out the alien franchise and give the comics back to Dark Horse.

barf... Marvel trash

Neomorph

Would you be equally disappointed if they were the massive bulky elephant men as depicted in the old Dark Horse Comics?

Engineers have returned to find David and his variants.

I do wonder if the Romulus sequel goes in the direction where Andy and Rain cross paths with David if we will see Engineers.

Exactly. Which is why I feel the Monster won't actually be at the forefront of the series. I expect most of season 1 to focus on the Androids / relationships between Synthetics and people and the Prodigy Corporation with murmurings of Xenomorphs throughout until the end of the series where they reveal the beast.

Since they've got plans for more than one season out the gate we know they can't reveal everything and culminate the story in one season.

Hopefully they don't demystify the beast too much.

The question is how much new you can add without demystifying the monster.

The retconning and continuity issues are indeed silly and/or make no sense, but after Prometheus reduced the ambiguous space jockey into a mere suit for tall, living roman statues, and David being the creator of the xenomorph as we know it, I just couldn't take it seriously anymore.

With that being said I'll view Alien Earth like I watch Terminator films, by disregarding the confusing timeline and watching them as individual stories while ignoring the connections.

I just wanted to add, ALIEN Earth is basically switching places with AVP 04.

Xenomorphs tend to grow really fast, the baby form was essentially it's chestburster phase.

So If the Alien TV series is its own thing, then its non-canon and thus can be ignored.

As much as I am delighted that AVP 04 is getting retconned to oblivion (Prometheus and Covenant had already did that) it still does not change my opinion of Alien Earth. I believe its going to be a total disaster at a continuity perspective:

1. ignoring the alien prequels

2. having xenomorphs on earth prior to the events of the nostromo and hadley's hope

3. focusing the story on transhumans rather than the titular monster

from baby to an humanoid monster in no time ..thats not very realistic ..secondely he dont look like an hybrid from alien ..he is like the engineer of prometheus.the creators its a bit a mistake..

I meant to say this yesterday but since as of the past couple hours you can watch, a new roughly 10 second teaser has dropped. Looks pretty neat

Sounds good! I wonder how Earth 2120 will be depicted. Dark and dirty? Modestly advanced? Jaws 19 hologram? Hopefully we'll get that teaser soon! 

Looks like I may be an outlier here, but the praetomorph from covenant was my favorite. It may just be that iconic shot of the alien staring into the camera, but that shot is chilling to me. The neomorphs I thought were equally as brilliant, and probably the scariest iteration of any alien in any movie. 

I think both Covenant and Romulus should get a sequel, kind of like what they are doing with Predator and Prey

Yeah I'll give it that much for sure. This just in though

Interesting coming from the guy who said "The beast in cooked " after it came out. More recently expressed disappointment in doing Covenant instead of Blade Runner 2049

But Romulus was light years better than The Force Awaken though.

I know I'm in the minority on that one lol. The more i think about Romulus the more I'm disappointed with it. It felt like watching The Force Awakens all over again, just the safest movie possible constantly reminding you of the good ol' days.

You're welcome, check out the latest one and download if you want, it's about the Alien Romulus prequel novel. They're doing a good job IMO

I would rather have a sequel to Alien Romulus instead of another David movie, but that's just how I look at it. Alien Romulus was OK, better than the prequels so it was OK, even though it could have been better.

why share this video?

another great episode thanks for sharing!

If by anti-sexism, you mean all genders are treated equally (both men and women) and not Women rules and men drool then sure.

However I do not trust modern Hollywood with delivering meaningful messages without being tainted by the W-word.

Sir Ridley still has that creative spark it seems, and while it's certainly nice to read about the positive entusiasm from the aged legend, I'll take it with a grain of salt.

If however Ridley decides to direct yet another film set in the Alien universe, and Fassbender is asked and signs up for it, I'm certain we'll see the flute-playing, philosophical android once again. Blade Runner replicants, Raised by Wolves androids and the emphasis on David and his poems about creation; Ridley sure likes his synthetics.

As for the engineers, well they remain a question mark. While hardly fleshed out in Prometheus despite being a core aspect of its grandiose story, it didn't exactly help their lore by throwing them out the window in Covenant. Bam, nuked from the story. On to the next one.

The emphasis seemed to be on David who, while an ambiguous figure at times ultimately turned out to be a classic (and very emotional) world-conqueror villain through and through as he set course for Origae-6 with evil intentions in a grim ending. Now what?

While anything is possible I just hope we'll simply get an entertaining sci-fi horror film from start to finish and with Ridley Scott at the helm again (if he returns) it'll at the very least be a beautiful film visually. Can the magical cosmic horror from Alien and Aliens ever be created again? I believe so considering the masterpiece George Miller created with Mad Max Fury Road for instance. It might take a kitchen full of the best and most motivated chefs who're willing to corporate and encourage each other, but I believe it can be done. 

Yeah the alternate scene didn't make much sense given how did the xenomorph know exactly where Bjorn was?

I would like to see or hear what happened to David for closure reasons

I hope that it has nothing to do with David, I would vomit if David the android is involved.

That's good news! I hope the prequel trilogy can be finished by combining it with the next sequel to Alien: Romulus to include David in the sequel to Romulus where Rain and Andy will meet David.

I guess that the theatrical version was good enough

If they make better characters then why not? Please make more anti-sexism things and the like, to piss off reactionary types. There has always been anti-sexism commentary in Alien-movies (Ripley or Vasquez anyone?) or anti-corporatism (WY is a symbol of that). I agree with Chris about the nostalgia.

Keep the engineers in it in some way, that was interesting. Hopefully we will get some more about the Engineers later. The Xenomorphing podcast has an interview with Dane Hallet that worked on the movie get it here

Andy really did steal the show for me, easily my favorite character. I'm happy to see more of him in the next film. Rain however, wasn't as impactful in her role but I feel there's room for her to grow. 

But yes - I hope the sequel tones down the nostalgic pandering by a few notches, or at least make the callbacks more subtle.

Fantastic news! The dynamic between Not Ripley No 3 and Andy was the heart of the film so hopefully the next story keeps them.

*David Fincher has entered the chat*

Please no more constant callbacks to the previous entries as Romulus filled that quota and then some. 

Xeno was like "woh you like some wo er?" But joke aside I prefer the theatrical version. 

I kind of like it. And it's fate that Bjorn would die anyway no matter he ran away or not lol

Awesome that they went all in with an actual VHS tape (lovely box art btw) rather than a VHS-style Blu-ray box. Now all you need is a CRT TV for the full experience!

Hopefully the grainy image and lower resolution will somewhat decrease the weird deepfake facial effect on a certain android.

Excellent news!!

so happy Alien franchise is in such a high peak these days. I once thought the legacy was dead when Alien Resurrection kind of "ending" the franchise, then we have AVP which further destroyed the Alien image lol.

Have to be thankful Sir Ridley for Prometheus, who brought the legacy back. Then we have Alien Isolation which booming the game industry. And Alien Romulus makes such a gigantic financial comeback. Extra extra good!!

I remember playing this game in 2017, not knowing what kind of game to expect, and man ALIEN ISOLATION totally exceeded all my expectation. This game seriously cured my second depression and I am so thankful for this game created and is getting more and more love from people. And knowing we are getting an ALIEN ISOLATION 2, Life is good. 

Just finished watching the fan film, awesome

I love that Big Chap looks different (being of the original xenomorph design) from his altered cloned offspring
