Aliens ruined the franchise

Alien instilled a huge amount of cosmic horror. We dont know/understand the xeno's motivation for killing the ships crew. We dont know if it's intelligent or a mindless killing machine. The fact that it can hide in the ship's workings and camoflauge itself as well as the fact that in the deleted scene with lambert it doesnt just outright jump at her
https://youtu.be/eR5jYeIMBKk
shows that it might very well be an intelligent being. Nothing is explained to the viewer in alien and you're left to piece together what happened to the space jockey on the other worldly ship yourself. A huge sense of mystery surrounds the xeno and you never really get any answers fed to you and you're never supposed to. Its supposed to feel beyond your understanding as a lot of HR Giger and lovecraft works it was inspired by do.

Aliens completely trashes this concept and pretty much retcons the idea of the alien being a thinking being. The xeno in aliens is just a worker ant with an understood queen-hive ecosystem. This completely ruins not only the fear factor of the xeno, but also ruins the fear factor of the xeno in the film before it. The mysterious killing machine with no explanation or backstory becomes a mindless video game-esque copy/paste antagonist like a zombie or a faceless soldier. The xeno is no longer a force to be reckoned with but just a standard "run forward and attack" monster we've seen in so many films before and after the release of aliens. It also negates the fear factor of the xeno by having hundreds of them mowed down by gruff space marines. as well as turning ridley from a hero in to a full fledged super hero by the end of the film and cartoonizes a lot of the eeiry setting of the first film with bulky comic inspired machinery and mechs. The fact that aliens is most probably people's first contact with the alien franchise really pisses me off because it ruins the original before it before you even get a chance to experience it.

Not really. Dan O'Bannon came up with the idea of chestburster. His actual script was so shit, the entire movie was re-written by Fox staff writers.

O'Bannon brought over the principal memebers of Jodorowsky's Dune production team he met in Paris. Ridley, the studio appointed director, didn't know any of those people, and they made the movie what it looked and felt like. Besdies, O'Bannon already beta-tested it with Dark Star.

Neither Scott or Giger was involved in writing Alien. James Cameron couldn't be aware of whatever they deleted and came up with his own thing. It's canon now.

>Dark Star is really bad by the way.

It's a fun student movie, anon, and it's what got O'Bannon booked onto Dune. Without it there wouldn't be any Alien. O'Bannon's ideas are so good John Carpenter ran with the "blue collar guys meet improbable situations" throughout his entire career.

I'm just going to go right ahead and say this.
The deleted scenes from Alien are not and will never be canon.
Ridley said himself that the theatrical cut is the one, the directors cut was only done because he was asked to for the Quadrilogy dvd set.
Camrons is different as the execs forced him to cut it to keep it shorter for what they assumed were retarded american audiences at the time.
So no, the deleted scenes from Alien can fuck off. They are not and should never be regarded as canon in the Alien universe.

>Gordon Carroll, Exec Producer of Aliens recalls in the book “Hello, He Lied” by Linda Obst how James Cameron sold the project: “Cameron was young. He had just directed Terminator. Cameron had called a meeting to discuss his “next project.” Everyone knew Cameron had written a treatment for Alien 2 that nobody would touch because Alien was not a massive financial success (also important to remember that back then, sequels were still seen as a frowned-upon lack of originality). Alien 2 was not on the table. We expected a professional pitch from Cameron, an outline and a treatment of what he had in mind with a cursory budget; perhaps a couple assistants to run a slide show. Instead Cameron walked in the room without so much as a piece of paper. He went to the chalk board in the room and simply wrote the word ALIEN. Then he added an ‘S’ to make ALIENS. Dramatically, he drew two vertical lines through the ‘S’, ALIEN$. He turned around and grinned. We greenlit the project that day for $18 million.”

They're both deep in their own, interesting ways.

Alien is psychosexual nightmare slasher about an androgynous crew member being the only survivor of a giant bio-mechanical rapist penis, cum-exploding androids and an AI ship literally named Mommy.

Aliens is a duel between two pissed-off mothers and an allegory for the Vietnam war.

>>83022565
>>83023274
He's right in the sense that, by trying to adapt Dune, Jodo assembled a team of various artists like Giger, O'Bannon, Douglas Trumbull and Moebius and after the project fell through, all the fostered creativity came to be used in other projects.

O'Bannon, who was John Carpenter's film school buddy, had the original idea for Alien, which wouldn't have been what it is without Giger's designs and experiences on Dune. Similarly, after Dune, O'Bannon started hanging out with the highly influential French comics team Heavy Metal and wrote a comic drawn by Moebius, whose visual style became the main influence for Blade Runner; Moebius' work also influenced Lucas for Empire. At around the same time, these French guys were receiving a young Australian guy never George Miller who went on to create Mad Max as an unofficial adaptation of their works. During the same time, O'Bannon and his best friend were working on early adaptations of Total Recall and Minority Report. Ridley's two masterpieces are HIGHLY indebted to that sparked creativity and collabs fostered by Dune's failure and Jodo's insanity, and it's very easy to see that on his own, without visionary designers of the caliber of Moebius or Giger (and the incredibly talented old school British technical teams that were in charge of practical effects, matte paintings, miniature models, etc), his work is incredibly unimaginative and stale.

The first two movies look great but have fucking retarded characters and plotlines. It's iconic and rehashed to death so by the time I watched them, they didn't have the impact they should. I accepted the first movie as 'wrong people, wrong place, everything goes to shit' but it wasn't even that, character broke protocol and were just fucking retards. A good slasher would have everyone trying their fucking best, sticking to protocol, being logical but having all their safety and countermeasures fail because the threat was simply outside the planned scope.

What would have been cool is if the aliens in alien got into the ship by melting their way in near undetected.

Entire franchise is horribly overrated. People only like it seemingly for having some iconic moments.

For (You) OP and all the other Camerinos:
>After viewing Alien vs. Predator, however, Cameron remarked that "it was actually pretty good. I think of the five Alien films, I'd rate it third. I actually liked it. I actually liked it a lot."[3] Conversely, Ridley Scott had no interest in the Alien vs. Predator films. When asked in May 2012 if he had watched them, Scott laughed, "No. I couldn't do that. I couldn't quite take that step."[4] Director Neill Blomkamp would eventually go on to pitch his sequel to Aliens.[5]

the only thing good about Alien was Geiger, the artist who designed the xeno - if it was a bland alien design the movie would not be so well known

>obsession over child
Because she was a mother who lost her child. Shit hits real close to home, and she became overtly attached to newt.
>retards dont leave some crew on the space ship
Ya got me there. Sulaco is huge - where the fuckall is the rest of the crew? Or is that bitch fully automated?
>how long did the trip take
17 days overdue = rescue. I'm assuming they made some good leaps in faster than light travel between Ripleys time and the current Aliens time.
>sending green soldiers
Nobody was green. It sounded like the majority of these troops, minus Lt Gorman, were combat vets with prior deployments. "Is this a standup fight or another bughunt?"
>WY as incompetent as ever
How so?
>Ripleys character transition
She changed over the course of the film in a realistic manner. In the beginning she was terrified of returning to the planet - after shit hit the fan she got her shit together.

Aliens has some of the best characters out there, and Hudson has become iconic.

>not the classic
Aliens is looked upon far more fondly than the first. Both are great, but Aliens had a much larger impact.
>>
>>83039616
that's because most of the audience is retards who like action, shooting and explosions

smart people know alien is superior and it's not even a question

Cameron its fucking brains over pride.
He knows better than to make enemies.

Yes

And the true genius behind James Cameron is Gale Anne Hurd.

after watching alien covenant i'm starting to think that this new trilogy (prometheus, covenant and "the next one") is a reboot.
like, how else would they explain the lore contradictions and the fact that the prequels have more advanced technology than the originals?
>>
>>83041440
Tell that to Punisher Warzone
>>
>>83022541
They should replace the guns with flashlights to be frank.
>>
>>83041445
>more advanced technology
I don't recall seeing any independently targeting particle beam phalanx, tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, sonic electronic ball breakers or sharp sticks in the prequels.
>>
>>83041445
simple really colony ships and weylands's flagship have high tech. space trucks are low tech and rugged.

Those ships might have left much earlier than the Covenant and Prometheus and they were only awoken from sleep later on too.

>>83041558
i was talking about the interface and holy shit that makes a lot of sense >>83041584
thanks.

also, since they haven't introduced the queen yet i bet those facehugger embryos david planted on the ship in the end are possibly queens.
>>
>>83038708
Me neither. I turn 360* and walk away

what's the deal with stupid scientists and lack of enviromental suits in prometheus and alien covenant?
>>
>>83041840
>I turn 360
well, congratulations. you got yourself caught

Shit. It is summer already?

>guys we will get answers in the next movie, the movie.

What is his endgame?
No seriously, what does he hope to accomplish? He said in Prometheus that he hates uneccessary violence and suffering, so what good does it do to create the "perfect" being if it requires human death and suffering to come into existence? For that matter, does he intend on wiping out humanity the way he did the Engineers?

Forgot pic but obviously I'm referring to David
>>
>>83022361
I've got a question about covenant: How did David release the black stuff into the engineers if the planet was abandoned when they got there (in Prometheus)?
>>
>>83022361
Pretty much. Without Aliens, the "franchise" never takes off. It would have stayed a cult film with maybe some cheesy B tier spin offs. But that isn't to say his contribution is better than the original, but without it the universe isn't so well known.

there are two different planets:

1) the planet they arrive at in prometheus (the military installation from where they would have launched this)

2) the engineer homeworld they go back to from the planet in the first movie to find answers

Point? If he simply rehashed the original, than nobody gives a shit. He took it and made it his own and people loved it; so much so that it is the only reason more films were made.

Please tell me I wasn't the only one who thought Aliens was a Metroid live action movie as a kid.

He meant "unnecessary". And right now he feels the creation of these life forms is more necessary than the humans currently running around.
>>
>>83022736
I agree with this.

How can Ridley "Senile Hack" Scott even compete?

>>83022541
They should go back and replace you instead.

The Pulse rifle is the GOAT weapon sound

Agreed. Alien has nothing going for it other than *muh kino cinematorgaphy*

Hey asshole, the scenes are deleted for a reason.

Stop talking about things I don't like, you fucking pieces of shit. I'm getting goddamn tired of seeing Alien threads on the front page. How many of these fucking threads do I have to report?

Aliens was better than Alien because it had guns and 'splosions in it
