k im doing prequels

I think the King was an unnatural creation in both instances in the comics, outside the comics there is the Kenner Toy and the Statuette (basically combining the Rogue with Giger aesthetics)

Doing prequels is encouraged lol. I'm a fan of them, but fun should be had with them.

Ah, auction day. These are the utmost grand of days!

I dunno what to say other than i am hurt.RIP

He was my fav character apart from Ripley,he was a good man.

@Xenotaris yeah when i read this just now i was like damn.

Dude,this movie gave me chills as a kid and knowing that some of the actors in one of my favorite movies died just hurts me in the heart man.

damn, RIP Parker

Prometheus had to open somewhere, and what better place than somewhere millions of years ago?

The Covenant opening was a gentle teaser to let us know Weyland had his plans in mind decades before his trip to meet his maker. It also gave us the opportunity to see that the utterly ruthless David endured deep resentment of slavery from his earliest moments.

Covenant opens with a young Weyland and David. Covenant then starts with the ship and Walter. Ultimately rescued by David on the planet he crashed on from Prometheus. The opening is a nod to Prometheus, showing us David's origin, yes? Not trying to be too literal, just curious as to why it was not a part of Prometheus or an opening to it? The confusion is the scene with David in Covenant goes right into the film with Walter....

Thanks!

The large stone sculptures in Prometheus/Covenant are thought to be representations of Engineer Elders. Some might call them gods, but others believe that the true gods (creators of the Engineers) have yet to be seen.

Aliens is set 86 years after the events of Prometheus, so Weyland was long dead. Knowledge of the xenomorph was a tightly controlled secret in the days of Prometheus. So nobody knew about it in Ripley's court martial. Burke had a hunch Ripley was telling the truth, which is why he sent a team to check out the derelict. Everyone else in the court martial thought Ripley was crazy, or they just didn't care.

Space is BIG. 400 surveyed worlds is nothing in the vastness of space.

Maybe you saw this: https://lwlies.com/articles/alien-gender-politics-ellen-ripley-joan-lambert/

I hope you don't mind me asking questons, but I saw the first movied in 1979 and no one else I knew wanted to. I have been hooked ever since and my wife is about to divorce me. The first thiing that struck me about the movie was that the surper structure looked very female, the mother ship was called Mother, and all the men got killed. And the eggs, gestation in human host, etc.

So like others I was confused by Prometheus and Covenant. Even in those the female is the one who survives after all the men die (until David gets his way)-who is a "male" artificial.

Re: Engineers. They look like the crowd that got infected by David from the ship with the pathogen. So they are so called Gods because of the large stone sculptures around? Mad them in his image?

Re: Aliens. I know it was written before Prometheus, but why didn't the staff grilling Ripley even know about the aliens? Their founder just got lost in space? "In over 400 recorded worlds" and they didnt have Prometheus in that? No messages transmitted back to the company from the disaster?

Thanks

"I knew Marvel would screw this up"

I don't know about that...the comic seems very Alien to me....there isn't a sign of Captain America or Rocket Racoon blasting xeno's ( yet ).

I think we have no idea how bad this can go.

I'd much rather they stick to basics and not bring in superheroes and toss the xeno out with the bath water.

As for the original question, something I learned recently which is clearly an unambiguous fact is that Lambert is transgender! Read the wall screen notes carefully in Ripley’s court martial and you will find that she was gender reassigned at birth. Therein lies a mystery, though: why?

It’s not the same ship. It’s not even the same world. The cartridges in Prometheus are weapons of mass destruction. The eggs in Alien are generally believed to be laid by a Queen, although eggs may also be created through bodily transformation of an infected host.

Giger must be spinning in his grave. 

Question:

Why did the cartidges look like cartidges in Prometheus, but looked liked egg sacs in Alien? Isn't it the same ship? And in Alien the crew sees an Engineer in the saddle of the alien ship, but dead from a hole in his chest. But in Prometheus, that Engineer was supposedly the only live one and he escaped the crash of his ship (which I assume is the one discovered in Alien years later) and he was killed by the alien birthed by the crew member in their ship. No?

Big oof.

I quite like the idea of the self-destructing alien. That could be nasty.

tbh, idk what is your problem? Don't want - don't play. The game looks like a clear fun.

Of course, games like Alien: Isolation are also good, but sometimes just want to shoot and relax.

Unless I go from rags to riches in one and half months, I can't dream of it.

The costume expected to reach a “conservative” high bid of $60,000.

 Let's be honest......we would all still wear it.

An actual translucent prototype Big Chap costume created by late Giger himself.

Another bug-hunt game. The kids of today get to know the Alien from Marvel and such games. Some of them would eventually watch Aliens. But kids, don't be fooled by the lame representations of the Alien from the above mentioned game and comics. They sell you damaged goods. The Alien is nothing like that.

Ash: You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
Lambert: ... You admire it.
Ash: ... I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
Parker: Look, I am, I've heard enough of this, and I'm asking you to pull the plug.
[Ripley moves to turn Ash off, but he interrupts]
Ash: Last words.
Ripley: What?
Ash: I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.

It looks kind of broken!

Must have been treated with disrespect like in an Aliens style bug hunt.

The Burster looks like a xenomorph version of a freaking Zerg Baneling!

I knew Marvel would screw this up

I think Marvel missed another opportunity to start anew. They could have hinted to what's in the store already without using the same android, at least. This is so absolutely lame. Although I like Lance Henriksen, Bishop was pretty dull as a character, I actually think his best performance was in Alien3. Why bring him back? Because Marvel can only create popcorn, with superficial and predictable stories, so you get nothing more, but at least it is nicely packed, glimmering and glossy, with colorful ribbons around it.

Alien is not in good hands now.
