Cool Godzilla

Alien Covenant, I know a lot of people dislike Alien Covenant because Ridley Scott wanted David to be the creator but I think David merely made his own xenomorph offshoot basing them off of the Engineer's xenomorphs. 

I also liked the Neomorphs, now the human characters... I thought they were okay but I don't watch these movies for the humans.

side note. all the special features on DVD's were awesome and it seems like we have lost that on blu rays and that is a huge bummer.

Cool Godzilla Alien covenant. 

Dark Nebula yeah that is true. I remember watching a ton of behind the scenes stuff on the dvd box set of all the movies I had before I loaned it to an asshole friend. I like the suit but the bad composite does fuck it up. I just use "CGI" as a blanket term for any non practical effect. I should watch 3 again. definitely the one I have seen the least because I just dont remember enjoying it as much but maybe it deserves another chance since I havent seen it in 10 years.

Xenotaris What is the movie name that you put on A, the right one?

"the cgi is so ugly and takes away from the charm"

Fun fact: the runner alien was actually a rod puppet that was filmed in front of a blue background (for some shots it was a dude in a suit). The reason it looks so rough is because of the bad compositing, which is a shame because the puppeteering is pretty good.

Not sure if I agree but to each their own

at the end of the day I think its just really dull and the cgi is so ugly and takes away from the charm and why I love these movies so much. I do think ripley and the criminals and their dynamic is a lot better than the acting in AvP but at the end of the day I would rather watch the dumb but more entertaining (sometimes more entertaining because its bad) AvP movie. I still really like the set design and art direction of that movie and it keeps it higher than AVPR for that reason. they did somehow manage to make the characters in AVPR even MORE unlikeable than in the first movie lol.

done editing my choices

How come Alien 3 is lower than AVP?

I also have a big soft spot for Resurrection. not a good movie, but so many great actors clearly having a great time and the alien newborn is one of my favorite designs. too bad it wasnt in a better movie. I really want to put Prometheus Higher because it had so many great ideas. if they released a cut of the movie with some of the deleted scenes included or someone made a fan edit I would definitely put it in B or maybe even A, but as it stands it just has a lot of issues that hold it back. I dont have much to say about predator 2 other than it is kind of just a fun time but isn't nearly as memorable or well made enough to go higher than B for me. Prey was suprisingly great but some of the dialogue, not fully polished CGI at times, and a couple scenerios I think felt forced keep it from being S tier. I think it was really close to being the best predator movie but unfortunately definitely falls a bit behind the original. I think the rest speak for themselves. 

I haven't seen Prey yet, so its position in my list will change once I have finally watch the movie

ah, I like Resurrection just a slight more than AVP 04. The only thing AVP 04 has over The Predator is that the Yautja are hunters and not evil scientists but teaching oomans how to build is still out of character for them.

Alien might be my favorite movie of all time. This tier list is in order within the tiers, so the further left the movie is the higher I rate it.

I have a stupid soft spot for Resurrection. I fully admit that it's not a GOOD movie, but I have a lot of fun watching it. Absolutely incredible cast that is fundamentally wasted on such a nonsense movie but it's such dumb fun in a way the AvP movies were never able to recapture, even though they should have been peak dumb fun. Plus, the design of the Newborn is nightmarish in a way that's completely different from the horror of the rest of the franchise.

O I need to edit mine now

Here's mine

Ridleygrams: the ultimate cut of Ridley Scott on storyboarding, including Raised by Wolves.

Continuously recall. You may be brilliant, however the outsider is more astute.

This is Marvel's third reset. They'll never be as good as Dark Horse, Marvel should give up and sell the comic rights back to Dark Horse Comics

Keep the monster in the shadows, that leaves things up to the imagination. I didn't like the daylight-alien. Not very interested in the synthetic part of it, thanks to Alien Covenant... but they can make it interesting.

Setaverde: Those things should have been in the movie, because they build the characters up a bit. For some (probably dumb) reason they were left out, and therefore Covenant was worse than it could have been.

Setaverde: I prefer the Assembly cut of Alien 3, it adds stuff.

I was hoping for an interview as an audio, but that was alright too. Nice to see that things are moving in the franchise.

@setaverde, Agreed the Deacon and Neomorphs were great additions to the lore. I really hope to see them again someday in a future film although I think the Trilobite was a very unique, accidental creation I doubt we would get to see a similar series of events play out in that specific way to lead to one again.

 A trilobite fossil. Astonishing.

The engineers are the monsters of the future and the future of the franchise, what is incredibly ironic, because they probably are the most ancient beings in the Alien Universe. The Neomorph and the Deacon are great monsters (i would love to see again the Trilobite, not the fossil as it´s shown on the picture below). They all deserve at least a second appearance on the big screen . As for David, i would love to see his end, even if they do it in a flashback of a few minutes, or showing him eviscerated by his own creations, i only want to see an end. David being terminated by a Xenomorph is the ideal end, at least, for me. I don´t need to watch a reconnection to the Alien 1979 movie. 

I don't know why, but I like the title (if that's the title). Hopefully it'll be as little tied to the old things as possible, so it'll be able to do its own thing. They have an opportunity to add some new stuff here.

I'm looking forward to see more Alien RPG content, I've been preparing for a two years to start up my campaign. Mostly out of procrastination, I have an idea for a story I just I need some more sci-fi themed maps. I have been borrowing some from Star Finder since generic sci-fi maps are rare; at least on Fantasy Grounds

so excited, i am looking forward a 2024 to be a Alien year

Andrew Gaska Q & A:

https://youtu.be/CpKOPT3Lgs8

 This is What happened when Engineers decided to play God: the possibility of the existence of a Xenomorph was born.

When Peter Weyland decided to play God, David happened.

The end of the ONE's blood represented the end of the expansion of new life across the Universe. 

The black goo is a bad copy of the ONE's blood, the primordial engineer, the finite source of generating new life on the universe. Life on earth was created from the Last drops of the ONE's blood, as we all watched at the beginning of the film "Prometheus", after an engineer, chosen by the engineer's council, drunk the ONE's blood That the engineer priest Gave to him.
