>a retard can operate an elevator
Believe me, they can't.

ripley forgot to disable her hand

The alien in the first movie isnt a dumb bug at all.

Scott is retconning aliens because it ruins the idea of the alien being the perfect killing machine.

Didn't Vasquez kill one with a handgun whilst literally pinning its head with her foot? Not seen it for about 10 years desu, but I'm sure that happened

Shitty writers have the movie happen by making people retarded
>this isn't isolated to the alien franchise, this is everywhere in presumptive blockbusters these days.

Still, no one made the statement of "they were killed by shooting handguns" you are both replying to something no one said.

>Yeah, in the ducts

Thought so, thanks user.

It may be passable as a stand alone franchise since covenant and prometheus practically shits on the consistency of what a Xenomorph is and their life cycle. The only connection between the old and new is what? An alien spaceship, the space jockey, and actual xenomorphs that magically didn't evolve into whatever the fuck sim earth shit the rest of the movies were doing with the spores, octopuses, and proto-xenos whatever the fuck.
The Xenomorph were a very defined species. Though other movies like a3 and avp showed that the aliens can change based on the host, those at least always followed the lifecycle: queen makes eggs, eggs shit facehuggers, facehuggers implant chestbursters, chestbursters grow into whatever xenomorph their host's dna was.
This shit about evolution at the what? the molecular level? practically threw the whole concept of the Xenomorph out the window and just threw them in for nostalgia. Just like how shitty movies have pop culture or current political references.

Yeah in no way they were ever indicated to be bug like retards

First movie solo alien dominates everyone
Second alien trained Marines take out the now hivelike aliens
3rd alien solo kills everyone
4th alien small group manages to kill mostly everyone with a few losses

So trained mariens are capable of killing lots of alien fodder, but when it's just one or two xenos they are smarter and fight harder.

why

what is with this idea that in Aliens the alien drones are stupid just because they are less concerned for their individual well being? Think about how any hive based organism behaves alone vs when in a group and you can easily piece together why they are more reckless when they are attempting to use their number advantage, as opposed to Alien where its just the one essentially trapped on a ship.

This, all of the david parts were kino. Final part in the spaceship was boring and pointless.

The "they are dumber in Aliens" meme is essentially trying to tie that idea to shitty writing by Cameron, but nothing about the way it behaves between the first and second are contradictory or implies a retcon in the natural behaviors and characteristics of the Alien. Organisms will act differently alone vs in a group, as long as their behaviors result in their species surviving. I don't think the Alien was particularly 'smart' in the first one as compared to the second one. It all seems perfectly plausible.

Sauce

The Aliens intelligence, stealth, and power all seem to get buffed or nerfed based on their number. Not canonically, but as general observation from movie to movie, the less of them there are the harder they are to kill.
First and third movie consist of like five to six person crew and small prison population of what twenty or so inmates, the single alien, DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO KILL. The fourth movie, there's a few of them and they're kind of hard to kill, they're in a huge military installation, guards are all over the place with the addition of a mercenary crew roaming the halls. And they from time to time just get shot and dropped. they get killed here and there they do damage here and there, you could argue a bit of an even trade or that both groups (humans v aliens) are pretty evenly matched.

You can even argue they shower pretty high intelligence, learning the function of the freezing punishment device and figuring out a way to escape their cell. Later on in the movie they even set a trap to separate clone Ripley from the rest of the survivors. Maybe because they're the results of the human cloning experiment?

I hesitate to talk about or include Prometheus I personally feel you don't get an actual "alien" in any means that we're accustomed to or could be defined as a classic "alien". Now Covenant, Is the opposite of Alien 4 in that you start off with a small number of aliens that grow in number as the movie progresses to a large number of aliens that dwindle as the movie progresses but get harder to deal with it seems as the movie goes along.

Also, in addition to this environment seems to be a large factor in how well Aliens perform and the ability for adversaries to use things like guns.

I left out the Alien vs Predator movies but I think everything I said still applies to those movies as well.

What is google

They clearly were just normal scientists lad

Scientists are human. The movie would be dogshit if characters were always acting rational,almost all of them are supposed to die

First movie: Aye lmaos are in no way invincible but it's basically a predatory gorilla adapted to living in space. More than a match for humans with improvised weapons
Aliens: same except they display intelligence. Not a match for marines that know what is going on. The marines are caught off guard then are outnumbered and low on ammo
Who cares: who cares
New alien movies: over hyped bullshit. Aliens are gods.

In alien 1 they were very restricted on what they could do to attack the Xenomorph, due to them being inside a fragile ship in space.

Reminder Aliens is a mediocre flick and Alien, Covenant and Prometheus are good films

Neat.

the alien was intelligent in the first film. The films that followed, in particular aliens, really downplayed the general qualities of the a xenomorphs in general. The queen was still suggested to be at least slightly intelligent but the original xenomorph was always quite intelligent. Remember when it was targeting certain key systems to fuck over the humans, for example?

>Well the doctor wasn't really on the aliens side, he didn't want the crew to die

Was he not it's been awhile since I've seen it but wasn't he intentionally sabotaging and attacking people to insure the aliens survival. Again I haven't seen it in years ( I might just fucking rewatch it this weekend.) but that's how I remember it. I mean they definitely didn't do anything like talk or come up with a plan together but there was something about humans being expendable and the alien being preserved and delivered at all costs. And I mean the doctor was a fucking robot and to some degree it doesn't have free will so in the sense that he's just a tool for the company, I guess maybe you are right. I don't know, really.

Bong here, so I dunno about guns, it's also been a while watching, though I figured hers was a high powered thing like a Deagle, so the xeno likely has some armour, though not enough to stop something as damaging as that perhaps.
I'm fairly sure in the same film they shoot at them with basic sidearms and it does little.

He didn't sabotage anything but he did attack Ripley when she tried to oppose to the secret order.
But in the end he said he liked her.

JANNNIIIIEEEEEEE

1st and 3rd movies also made a point they had little in the way of weapons, whereas in Aliens and Alien:Ressurrection, they were gunned up.
You don't want to fuck with a xeno in melee, Alien:Isolation made a point of it.

But it was revealed that David was intelligently designing the life cycle, that's where the ones you know and love came from

This alone is why I really don't like covenant. How the fuck is DAVID the source of all the xenos?? And they just kind of brush it aside and move to the next plotpoint when it's revealed in the movie. It really is dumb bullshit

That was a Vietnam reference. They used the term 'Bug Hunt' to reference Search and Destroy missions, has nothing to do with actual alien bugs.
>Inb4 arcturian pussy
We don't know what they are, though Ferro and Vasquez were lolling at the rumour Ripley 'saw an alien once'. If anything Arcturians could be colonists and the analogue for GI poontang when overseas in 'Nam.

hmm no, he just designed the ones on his planet, for all we know the eggs on lv426 could be from anywhere else.

Newt mentions that they come out (mostly) at night and she survived alone. The xenomorphs were still opportunistic at hunts, infact they seem to change to zerg-rush tactics to overcome the Sentry turrets and when their hive gets trespassed.

From what can be gathered, it's an Engineer made bioweapon that is made to wipe a planet of life through mutation, either killing those who touch it or mutating their body to become or host hostile organisms to do the rest of the planet clearance.
The Neomorphs spawned as a result of the goo interacting with the environment to create a hostile destructive lifeform, whilst David used what he had left to adapt and mutate the local wildlife of the planet he was on to make his own xenomorphs.

Ridley Scott likes Beavis and Butthead
youtube.com/watch?v=8XijQq-0cXs

And right after they say bug hunt the corporeal says it's a xenomorph infestation and the marines don't seem too shocked by that. Their reactions make it seem like they've encountered aliens before

The original script explained David put out the communication as a lure to get him off the planet. There originally was supposed to be these large disks over the planet's poles that activated the strengthened ionosphere as a sort of EMP buffer to keep the infested world under quarantine.
It doesn't answer how David got that message into space to begin with (the solar flare came from a coincidental star being born nearby), nor does it explain if he had the instruments to get that comm out, why he didn't send more messages or attempt more contact. Unless he butchered his equipment for maintenance, which is somewhat implied though never full out stated.

iirc they said they kicked Arcturians asses no ? It sounds like they were enemies.

Vasquez and Hudson are the best characters in Aliens

He's not, there was the mural of a xeno in prometheus, he's just experimenting with the goo and the xeno is an outcome

Originally in the script (also kept in the novelisation), David had a dissected xeno egg and explains to Oram that the Engineers designed them as the perfect race, making his work trying to recreate it.
The script outright states and there are details on the xeno in Covenant, that explain it looks more biological than the xeno we know already.
Besides, the Derelict on LV-426 was fossilized to shit, it had been there for some time, not the less than 18 year gap between Covenant and Alien would leave for David to somehow get a Juggernaut to get infected and crash there.

>there was the mural of a xeno in prometheus
Fug I don't remember that.

yes, desperate ones

More like they don't believe her and know aliens don't exist so they don't care

Threadly reminder that there’s a FULLY MODELED Newt life cast replica somewhere out there

No, the Lt mentions they don't know why the colony lost contact though a 'xenomorph' and he says it as if air-quoted, may be involved.
The Marines look dumb-founded and one even asks 'A xeno-what?'. This leads to Ripley trying to explain the events of Alien and the Lt kind of giving up and stating the info is on disc for the marines to check out.

There are at least three of them judging by the movie's bonus material, and all of them look like corpses. One is her death pose and shows that she was screaming in terror while she drowned, the second is just a dead body with a sickly pallor, and the third one's stomach has been opened for the autopsy scene.

It's called directors forgetting the source material. Also, in the first Alien, the Xenomorph was a complete beast that slowly killed. It put fear into people and then killed them. They never could ever duplicate that again afterwards.

Fags want to defend Aliens so badly.
That movie is a flick piece of shit you're supposed to gobble down popcorn to.

Ridley wanted cosmic terror.

Cameron designed them into bugs - it seemed a good idea at the time.

For the most part, the ''canon'' sided with Cameron's concepts. Think sequels, but also comics, novels, games, etc.
Then Ridley sneakily altered it to his version of the beast when he made Prometheus. There is a barely noticeable but very real rift between Cameron/ Fox's vision and Ridley Scott's ideas for the franchise. Also I prefer the latter.

prometheus and covenant are amazing.

everyone who thinks otherwise can eat dick!

This, desu. They literally couldn't shoot the alien or else they'd vent the whole ship. Even the tiny cut on the facehugger melted through like three floors. That's part of the reason why they had the flamethrowers.

Aliens originating from humanity is the dumbest shit and that alone is proof that Prometheus and Covenant are complete trash, without even getting into all their other problems.

Who were basically space truckers.

No, in the first movie the cast was unarmed space truckers who literally couldn't shoot it or it'd melt a huge hole in the spaceship and kill them all. It wasn't invincible at all- fire still made it fuck off, and Ripley harpooned it at the end.
In the second movie you had heavily-armed, experienced marines on a planet with a breathable atmosphere who could shoot without fear of explosive decompression.

It was an H&K VP70, which is just a 9mm pistol.

I'd assume the Marines had armour penetrating rounds though, since it's supposed to be a future pistol, it was just chosen cos it looks unusual and futuristic for the 80s.

As if no Apone

The rifles used caseless delayed-impact-fuse explosive rounds so I wouldn't be surprised at all if the pistols had superscience shit too.

They dont have homing bullets. The Pulse rifles fire 10mm caseless rounds with exploding tips. The Smartguns fire a slightly larger round, but have a tracking system built into the gun and harness that aims the gun itself, more or less.

My theory is that when a queen is present they default to whatever her plan is. Otherwise, they're forced to think on their own.

He's talking about Warhammer Space Marines.

Yeah, pretty much. Although, when she's shooting them in the vents, you can see round sparking off the Xenos face, but she only gets the kill when she hits it in the side of the head, near it's jaw, so it's more likely she hit a weak point.

Whoops, quoted my own post.

Come to think of it, the incredibly acidic blood probably means it's actually hard to land a disabling hit with non-explosive stuff since the bullet would melt instead of mushrooming or fragmenting.

I suppose it depends on how quickly the acid melts things, bullets travel pretty fucking fast.

Like, the harpoon in the first movie managed to go through and stick in the xeno without melting, and that wasn't going as fast as a bullet.

I think it's just they have a really tough exoskeleton, so you need high powered rounds to get through.

This. The Alien in 1 was dangerous in the way any intelligent predator like a Wolf or Tiger would slaughter some unarmed yokels in a misty forest. The marines kill a lot in Aliens in the same way medieval peasants would call in a professional hunter if a wolf with a taste for man-meat was killing them. Additionally Cameron was deliberately going for Vietnam War commentary, and the Marines get massacred in the initial ambush because they go in arrogant and over-reliant on fancy tech, leaving only six left with almost no ammo, and now the Aliens/Vietcong smell blood in the water.

Acid melting a hole in a spaceship would do nothing dangerous the whole concept of acid blood is retarded

Exactly, there's nothing that stops a wild beast from being incredibly cunning and dangerous.
This absolute unit, for instance, is estimated to have killed 300 or so people over about 60 years and survived dozens of attempts by hunters at killing him.
