@gentlemanscarecrow5987 bro the crew in the first Alien literally ignored all quarantine procedures and brought an obvious health hazard on the ship despite MULTIPLE protests from Ripley. Alien is a masterpiece but the crew was absolutely *not* intelligent.
Yeah I think they should continue the franchise by having monsters from popular monster movies on the Monstars team, maybe have them steal the basketball talent from players again.
Your description of Alien 3 made me laugh as that's exactly how I felt about it - killing off the 2 main characters from Aliens was unforgivable, it didn't really matter what happened after that, I stopped caring. Same with the new terminator film - they killed off John and I just mentally switched off.
There's definitely some sauce to this. You've got a horror franchise about Aliens but you've never done an alien invasion story? You've already set up a homicidal android who's obsessed with perfecting his freaky ahhh black goo tech, AND he's now got the means to do all of it? And you've also got a polar opposite android who loved his human friend for her whole life because she literally turned back on a ship full of monsters to save him? That's one spicy combination! The only downside really is that you have to pivot *back* into all the prometheus/covenant stuff that a lot of people would perhaps prefer to get as far away from as possible.
Honestly, neither were mind-blowing or anything, but for the life of me i don't get the level of hate both those movies got. They were better than most horror, let alone sci-fi horror films of the past decade, (though , sadly, that's not that impressive), but fellow hardcore Alien fans absolutely DESPISE Covenant on a level that i just don't get.
"Are we truly unique, or are we just like alien goo-a churning wave of biomass spreading blindly across the universe, grasping at every chance to propagate itself, indifferent to its own suffering and the suffering of all that it touches? Why is it that the perfect organism, without a soul, exists? Could it be that our consciousness is merely vestigial-that our sense of self is the mental equivalent of an appendix, and that our true nature is no different from that of the alien?" - that was genial
actually obsessed with this movie for all the reasons you said here. alien has got some cool as shit lore and honestly even though I hate resurrection and prometheus and convenient I do think most of the lore and body horror shenanigans had so much wasted potential. Romulus brought together nearly everything they failed to get right and did it correctly - its a miracle of a reboot movie. plus the character work is so much stronger than I ever expected it to be that even though I knew nearly everyone was dead from the start I was still actually sad and scared for them? banger
The 8th Alien film should just be a documentary shot by the Predator aliens as they document the gradual extinction of humanity among the stars at the hands of a superior invasive species but the documentary is filmed in such a way that it pays homage to the humans in terms of making them out to appear really dangerous so that way the xenomorphs appear even scarier by comparison, the end of the documentary reveals itself to just be a marketing campaign for safari hunting of xenomorphs in the outer regions of the greater empire of predator species plural*.
🧐 Speaking as one of the 26%, longer hair looks good- especially when compared to army cuts With that aside, I loved this video, and the format, love to see your ideas on these kind of things!
Damn that pitch sounds crazy. Imagine David as some fucked up 'xenomorph emperor' able to psychically control his whole xeno army, imagine during the initial invasion catching glimpses of kaiju sized xeno-creatures through the fog during the evacuation. I mean tyranids are basically xenomorphs so we might as well come full circle and make xenomorphs tyranids.
After consulting with my team of women associates and my own gay apparatus: Let those curls grow out until it starts getting annoying to take care of, then trim just under that. Folks of all persuasions appreciate having a little bit to play with! Also consider trying a leave-in conditioner cream or spray so you don't have to fuss with it.
Romulus was a looot of Alien Isolation and Resurrection mushed together with a sprinkle of Aliens and Promevenant (black Goo and Engineer aah looking baby)
David was such a great character, also well casted. Covenant is maybe my 3rd or 4th fav, 1st is the classic, 2nd is the new one for sure, aliens and covnant fight endlessly for 3rd Fun fact, the TTRPG books Alien RPG are all canon and add a lot of world building I'm so happy that the black goo came into this one, it allowed it to be cosmic horror the ai soul plot was solid af
This is such a great movie and a fantastic revival. Also, notice how many ideas the OG Halo got from Aliens? I mean, Sgt. Johnson is very similar to Sgt. Apone, cigar and all. Plus, the vehicle designs look awfully reminiscent.
So for Davids motivation in the 8 th movie I have tow suggestions. 1) David wants the humans that created him to worship him like a god 2) He is trying to find out who created the creators of the engineers and there is something in the genetic memory of some humans that will give him a clue ( as a reason he can just wipe out all humans)
Something I didn't see many people talk about is not just that it looks incredibly nice, but that its style actually feels a lot like the implied things we experienced in the originals. Like the movie can finally show the things the other movies simply couldn't do, thanks to today's computer effects.
You are a 6'8" blond badass creative genius ripping apart the degenerate talentless idiots in Hollywood; best believe it I have been a subscriber for some time.
My pitch for an Alien 8 would be the most end-game concept. Alien: Exodus. Xenomorph outbreak on earth. It's a post-apocalyptic lovecraftian nightmare. The whole planet is a biomass. We see exactly the worst-case scenario of contagion with Xenomorphs. I've been wanting to see that for probably a decade. It stemmed from a debate involving which would be the worst apocalyptic scenario: The Thing or Alien? I think The Thing would be pretty bad but I can imagine the art direction of a Giger-esque nightmare world. Yes that would cost like $100 Million dollars but I think that's the natural conclusion for this series. The main cast would be a group of survivors who've uploaded their consciousnesses to android bodies and do a bit of a SOMA thing existentially. Fox please let me pitch this idea.
As someone who has never played alien games, this movie really makes me want to play lethal company and other games this movie takes inspiration from. The experience of the movie was so good I wanna get as close to experiencing it myself as possible
Dude, that writer's room scene was 🔥 After the first couple minutes, I was like "Is he just gonna go all the way with the bit? Oh, he's comMITTED. Sweet." And I just settled in. Good times.
David needs to have taken over W-Y between Covenant and Alien. Make him the face of the soulless sadistic corporation, and then reveal whatserface from Romulus is Ripley's daughter, giving us our leads for the final showdown, tying the overall conflict together. Also, the goo needs to be diverse, not random - each variant should be a different bioweapon
It feels like an "All Tomorrow's" horror angle with the horror of the goo and David. It's thematic, it's new, and it's great alien horror. Just hypothetical like this.
Really liked both the writer's room and alien 8 pitch segments. Getting to hear these brainstorms, staged or real like in the pirate slasher video, is very enjoyable. Hope there is a place for segments like that in the future too. Pretty ambitious sequel idea. You bring up an interesting point about how it might seem marvel-y but it really doesn't have to be if it remains in the style Romulus did. Makes you think what sort of possibly good pitches got slowly transformed into something more basic by hollywood. I worry how they're going to handle that Alien: Earth series, especially with trying to appease the canon. I think if they want to just explore xenomorphs on Earth, they should ust ignore the wider canon and start fresh. But your pitch does make me reconsider whether it's not better to look deeper into what has come before.
Hey man i love your content great stuff! I can’t exactly remember where but in one of your videos you talked abt how making a movie within a movie was inherently bad and after the novelty wears off it’s structurally unsustainable. Could you expand on that? trying to write one of those rn
The Nostromo nuclear self destructs, and the big chap gets shot into space by Ripley, and you expect me to believe that Weyland/Yutani found all of that just floating around together in the same spot? Really??
I want the alien race from the Predator series to become canon to the Alien franchise. Perhaps David makes his way to the Predator home world during his 150 year space god arc and runs afoul of them and they follow him back to Earth to screw up his plans/kill him.
Currently I still stand that every single sequel/prequel has made the original Alien a worse movie. …so I just yeet them straight out my headcanon whenever I watch that original film.
Would like to see your take on the story in Alien: Isolation (the game), especially since they (after a decade) just announced a sequel. Obviously it's extended / stretched to service game-related needs, yet I feel it was the best entry past Aliens.
I don't know how anyone can ever defend Alien 3. The opening completely desecrates the vibe, message, hope, and perfection of Aliens entire arc. All for a cash grab. They should have gone with William Gibson's script because it was rad.
Andy and David fight over the future of humanity, whoever wins gets to activate or destroy the mcguffing that will spread the black goo over the universe. Fight happens inside some lava cave or power plant on fire (it's cool and thematic). Andy argues that even if humanity has sinned the people he loves are worth fighting for, David will say that humanity had their run and ruined everything and now it's time for a new lifeform to have their chance. They will settle their differences with a fist fight since they're both already falling apart (maybe literally so) and/or reaching their end of life. As a callback to Prometheus/Covenant the ideas of 'sin' and 'judgement' will play a huge role. David is crazy and evil, but still a rational thinking machine underneath, he sees himself as righteous and judges humanity for creating him (and giving him a life that only brings him misery and constant dissatisfaction), while experimenting with the xenomorphs to figure out for himself if a creature made to be evil can recognize its own sins and stop/forgive itself/become good. Andy's motivation is fairly simple by comparison, however his own faults and imperfections end up being what give him the upper hand. He wins by imitating something he saw a human character doing earlier in the movie, or by doing something crafty but illogical, either way it'll be a testament to human ingenuinity and our ability to overcome the odds. The rest writes itself, choose some flavor of happy ending + some twist that implies the threat isn't fully gone (or don't and just do the happy ending if the next installment is a reboot).
