Youtube video mourns the death of HR Giger's monster and all that it stood for

joylitt

That would be a sleight case of fingered to death..

No worries and I'll tell him Joylitt said hi too XD

Old Mick Taylor could take David in a knife fight 

CPU is in the back of the neck though lol

Boo hoo. I swear, some are getting over dramatic af. I understand the allure of the mystery but it was gonna come out at some point after 35 years and the David origin fits the dark, sexual, predatory nature of the creature that Giger envisioned as it is now firmly a biomechanical monster as opposed to some space animal. I get not wanting to know but this origin fits. Also, how many times has the H.R.Gigers monster died now? Alien 3? Resurrection? Both AvP films? Stop crying and have some fun because this is it.

Lawrence of Arabia And how many times the Terminator, the Predator, Godzilla, King Kong, Frankenstein and Dracula have died? Monsters die and are reborn. Origin stories and prequels are forgotten or become bad memories. Therefore, one day, I think, the xenomorph, the fear of the unknown and HR Giger in all its glorious weirdness will come back with a vengeance, and the excitement will return to the Alien franchise.

@joylitt

That brings up the topic of remaking the original Alien.

Could it even be done?  After all, we already know what a facehugger does and we've seen the Xeno tons by now.  Still, after all the prequels are done, do you think someone is going to remake the original Alien to bring everything full circle?  Or maybe the original Alien will be remade 50 or 100 years from now after the Alien franchise has been forgotten?

I Moon Girl Maybe not right now, but I think it would be interesting to recapture in the future the same sense of claustrophobia on a cosmic horror canvas. Maybe follow the example of Blade Runner: 2049. Same feel, similar setting, but with different characters. And I don't really thing the Alien saga will be forgotten, fut some entries in the franchise will be kinda "brushed under the carpet". Even critically well regarded movies like "Star Trek Into Darkness" receive delayed and protracted backlash from a fanbase, so the audience has the last word and time will tell.

It seems to me that he thinks that there should just be Alien 1979 and no follow-ups.

I agree that they should have stopped earlier (but that should have been after Alien 3 in my opinion). Nowadays I feel like I would be fine without Aliens also.

The Xeno was a disappointment in Alien Covenant because it could be so easily killed and was used as a non-intelligent bug (the crane scene). Its use was another annoying part of AC.

"Talking head David" LOL!

Unfortunately the Franchise doesn't do very well now, it started with AR.

My preferred origin of the Xeno is that it would be something that the Engineers found and developed their own version of or if they found it on some planet and took home and used as a weapon. The first idea is not far from the ADF version were David re-creates the Xeno from Engineer tools. If they go with the idea that David creates it then to me it seems to be one of the worst scenarios about how it came to be.

"Now that you are seeing him I hope you can talk him into using his tracking skills and bowie knife in hunting down so called android David."

LMAO! I laugh so much so I cry (which I think is strange because isn't happiness and sorrow supposed to be different emotions on opposite ends so to speak). Thanks Joylitt

Lawrence of Arabia: Call it over-dramatic if you want, I am totally fine if people think that the movie is a complete turd especially if it to an extent deserves it (which I think it does). There are parts that I like about the movie but it doesn't hold up in general. As far as the mystery you can explain it in different ways it is just that the way that they made it sucks.

"Stop crying and have some fun became this is it."

Not if the movie is crap, forget that. Why should we have to like a movie just because it has Alien as a part of the title or is a part of the alien universe? If that would be the case people would have to like Alien Resurrection as well according to your way of thinking. In no way will I think that AR is a good movie and the same goes for Alien Covenant.
