We're in the pipe

aviation has a significant female presence compared to other combat arms

xenos as we know them aren't known well or established, but clearly other species do exist, just not as fucking dangerous

It’s because men still on average have faster reflexes and better hand eye coordination.

desu this was the one Aliens addition I didn't like. Introducing other aliens to the universe retroactively makes the initial discovery less impactful.

could they have cast anyone who looked more Jewish than she?

It is. 4K release for Alien in April!
Although knowing Jimbo, Aliens wouldn't be happening anytime soon. Shame.

>It's another bug hunt
I always took this line as he meant that they were on another "wild goose chase" i.e there are no aliens. I mean all the other characters except for Ripley seem very skeptic about the idea of extraterrestrial life. But now that I read your post I'm a bit confused.

Well, ALIENS takes place 76 years in the future, so they could've stumbled upon more species over that period of time.

She's on the pipe! Get her!

they meet some lifeforms, finding an actual civilization is still pretty hueg

There are other alien lifeforms in the Aliens universe and "xenomorph" is a catch-all term for all of them. The word certainly doesn't specifically refer only to the Giger aliens seeing how the marines had no prior knowledge of them. This is obvious to everybody except for brainlets which I have to pretend to be one of so I won't seem autistic.

No duh you shit-gobbling retard.

???
What other aliens does it introduce? The marines are skeptical of Ripley's recounting of the Nostromo incident during their briefing.

No, they seem to be bored with her story.

avp.fandom.com/wiki/Arcturian

The thing with the Arcturians was detailed in one of the novels, they were the first (officially) sentient species known to Earth, a race of weird eyeless mammal-insect-reptile people who live in subterranean communities. As a civilization they are barely above stone age humans, so besides a limited trade and kinky humans wanting to fuck them, they are not really that relevant.

Everybody was skeptical because her story was too weird and too convenient.

I always assumed that there were aliens on that planet, and colonists, and one or more of the marines slept with the colonists. But the joke was that the guy actually slept with an alien. But it was a joke.

Is this confirmed in the movie or is it some shit that was in the comic? He could be referring to human natives of the planet Arcturus.

EAT THIS

Huh, go figure. I never really paid attention to that dialouge between Frost and Spunkmeyer in Aliens. This thread has been an eye opener. And not a good one. The finding of the space jockey in the first one and the main aliens doesn't seem to be that big of a deal now. It takes away some of the magic from the franchise to be honest.

always thought she was hot

What does that line even mean? Five by five what?

Like I said, that shit is in one of the novels (I have it somewhere, wasn't that good), so it's sorta canon.

>smaller size gives them an advantage but it's never actually happened
lmao its clear you know nothing about military aviation please don't embarrass yourself

The fact that it didn't matter that the arcturian was male of female sorta implies that he was talking of a non-human creature.

Military lingo. In this case it means something like 'on course to our destination'

>The fact that it didn't matter that the arcturian was male of female sorta implies that he was talking of a non-human creature.
You hear similar banter when talking about different countries here, specifically Japan.

In the pipe = course is correct
Five by Five = comms signal is perfect

It means "loud and clear"

Are you implying asians are human?

Never

SPUNKMAIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if they actually mention it in Aliens it has to be canon right?

I always assumed the Arcturians were just humans from a colony called Arcturia

Me too, just that they operated on a cosmic level of redneck so fuck a female was like fuck a male.

I guess it could be some sort of tranny colony? Perhaps in the future they exile them to outer space?

I'm gonna lay the pipe if you know what I mean

I'm afraid not. Could you clarify?

My 5x5 is going up her pipe if you know what I mean

Plenty of female pilots out there. I don't think any reasonable person thinks a woman can't be an effective pilot, infantry is another question because of the greater physical burden.

In the pipe probably referees to their entry path into the atmosphere. You can see the "pipe" in the displays on the Nostormo as well.

Yeah. No screams, panic or some shit. And she is not even an infantrywoman like Vasquez.
But she still turns and tries.
Based.

No, I think she was pretty much fucked. That's why that little moment is so effective for a character we don't know much about. Good movies can tell you a lot about a character without wasting your time.

No. The phrase means comms are perfect.

Bugs are a reference to the chinese tho.

Listen nigger you can clearly see the pipe, you're not going to dislodge a lifelong headcanon

It's going to look the same on Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray because of 35mm limitations

Hey! It's Lady Gaga in Ray-Bans!

What’s that mean anyway? “We’re on a proper course”?

It's a phrase used in aviation today user.

five by five is about the comms, in the pipe is about the course.

HDR says otherwise.

>Good movies can tell you a lot about a character without wasting your time.
True. This is a type of attention that I find more in movies written in the 70s and 80s, or before.
But it really depends.

The other day while rewatching Predator, I noticed you can already tell a lot about the characters by the way they are dressed when they arrive by chopper. Like, Mac is wearing a business suit and we later see he is a neat guy who shaves in the middle of the jungle, while Blaine is actually wearing the same t-shirt he has later in the movie, guy gives no fucks and didn't bother to change.

Dude no. Couldn't be more wrong.

"five by five" means I can recieve you strength 5, and understand you strength 5.

We're entering the ring's atmosphere in 5.

Anyone else want to see a porn parody where the pilot is played by Ashley Fires, and as she's being made airtight she says "You're in my pipe, five by five"?

>not "I'm on your pipe, 5 by 5" as she's gangbanged
See me after class.

In predator 2. When Glover enters the space ship and sees all the trophy skulls. I think those are all other species from this universe

Aliens was basically her entire on screen career, but she then went into the production side.

I don't delve into any external media, just the films. My interpretation is that alien life has been discovered occasionally, but always unintelligent and animal-like at best. No other intelligent species discovered, except the ship in Alien.

This

Extremely lame

it's too bad the follow-on films after Aliens didn't really expand our knowledge of the "Alien" universe

Oh well. I tried at least. She had a cool personality and we had many of the same interests and values.

She was pretty while still being approachable and had an incredible was due to all the running she did.

Then again, because she acted like "one of the guys", she probably took miles of dick while on active duty, so I suppose I dodged a bullet.

>compared to other combat arms
Sure but what does that actually translate to? 5% vs. 2% or what?

Least you tried.

fuck Terran and fuck Protoss you fucking faggots

Is this a mix of different countries?

brehs...how can you even satisfy a woman like this without a 5x5 cock???

James Cameron made this as a quasi Starship Troopers adaptation. Those are references to Starship Troopers, the scifi novel. I don't know how this flies over everyone's head. It's obvious as fuck. All of Cameron's movies are lifted from 50's scifi novels he read as a kid.

see:

Pipe refers to the entry angle of the ship. See Apollo 13 where they talk about either burning up or skidding off the atmosphere into space.

Five by five is referring to the radio signal. Quality of the signal and the strength.

But it's not a Starship Troopers adaption is it? So the Starship Troopers lore is not relevant to the lore of the Alien universe, even if Cameron had it on the mind

So bros, I hadn't seen any of these movies before, so I watched the first two.

I kind of liked the first one better. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person. Second one was kino in its own way too

At least I will always have you guys and K-posting

Attached: 1549662236265.jpg (970x545, 771K)

The first is the best one, obviously. Aliens is still great though.

liking anything after the 2nd would make you a bad person

It's not, but I don't think they were really thinking in terms of "lore" in the 80s, especially since it didn't matter to the plot.

Evidently, there are alien species the Colonial Marines have encountered before, have fought before, and consider to be unworthy opponents, which is their fatal mistake.

>not "you're up my pipe, five by five"
Fuck jannies and fuck niggers

>But it's not a Starship Troopers adaption is it? So the Starship Troopers lore is not relevant to the lore of the Alien universe, even if Cameron had it on the mind
It is an adaptation in Cameron's mind. He's the one that made the movie. Keep in mind, that Starship Troopers had not been adapted up to that point. The bugs being referred to are the enemy race from Starship Troopers.
