>>Aliens fucking everyhere, now ridiculously easy to kill She didnt have an assault rifle in Alien. They're not "now" easy to kill, they always were if you had an assault rifle. Also "easy" is relative.
Correct. Aliens is shit and only manchildren like it and then cry about how Alien 3 ruined the franchise.
Samuel Ross
FPBP I swear to god, people don't understand why they had so much trouble with the Xenomorph in the first movie. I wonder if they've even seen the movie or if they're just regurgitating the opinions of some faggot zoomer youtuber.

Don't trigger the zoomers.

Seethe forever at Aliens being a great movie, schizo

That's why Aliens 3 was so good. It was a return to basics.
Jaxon Peterson
this but unironically
Colton Peterson
It's not the video games. Very few Aliens are actually killed in aliens, until the colony explodes obviously.
Jace Howard
>Very few Aliens are actually killed in aliens There's a literal whole scene where they get slaughtered in a hallway by turrets
Ryan Rogers
The actual movie is the theatrical version. Cutting that extra shit was the right call.
Asher Rogers
Alien3 was good. Watched it last night, remarkable in that it's not dated unlike Aliens with Paul Reiser.
Camden Jackson
It just gets hate for bad CGI like that somehow makes the whole movie shit. Also low IQ retards seething at how slow it is.
Austin Wood
>the clock isnt set on 5 minutes before midnight...
completley missed the chance for kinomatography
Kevin Roberts
What a pleb take on Aliens. It was the most accurate adaptation of the key concepts and tone of Heinlein's novel Starship Troopers and that remains to this day.
Owen Carter
Aliens pretty much created those stereotypes for the film world. Space marines weren't a thing before Aliens. It's an extremely influential movie. Also, the characters are sympathetic so you root for them. First aliens appear in like an hour into the film. But I agree that the ending is too action oriented. The last battle against the queen was unnecessary.
Grayson Carter
>>PEW PEW PEW SPESS MUHRINES This doesn't describe Aliens at all. They get massacred in their first scene, and the entire first hour of the film is slow paced with no action.
Camden Taylor
first action scene*
Owen Nelson
If you ever opened up a book in your life you would know that space marines were created by Robert Heinlein in a well regarded novel called Starship Troopers. If you watched any interviews with Cameron you would hear him say that this book was the inspiration for Aliens.
Kevin Miller
I think user meant "in movies".
Justin Roberts
That very well could be, however it's disingenuous to suggest that the concept for the film was some brand new idea by Cameron and his team. They had been trying to get a deal for starship troopers and it was deemed unfilmable at the time.
Connor Ortiz
Nah. You would just say anything to shit on Aliens
>Ripley comes across the captian who has been cocooned and she melts him with a flamethrower. Glad it was removed
Dylan Collins
>as been cocooned and is being turned into an egg or something, unless i am misremembering
Josiah Walker
For me the difference was a bunch of somewhat small things. Like Ripleys conversation with Dallas in the corridor. I'd been screaming about that for literally decades. It was incredibly validating when he fixed it. I haven't seen any of these movies in a very long time though to go into a lot of detail. Except ironically Night of the Living Dead 1990 which I got the year wrong for.
Caleb Peterson
Aliens is the perfect movie
Benjamin Gonzalez
no
Justin Hernandez
tongue my anus
Nathan Evans
people who shit on aliens are the same contrarians posting in every thread on Yea Forums saying everything sucks
Cameron Perry
and then alien 3 redeemed the series, cementing it as a classic trilogy and giving 2 the security it didn't deserve.
Chase Carter
Yeah, it essentially explains where the eggs come from without a need for queens. Personally I find it unnecessary and a bit silly.
Cameron Wilson
no, are you wrong as wel as a fag?
Jordan Rogers
no my friend, it is you are the fag, that's why you're the one tongueing my anus (and not being a chad Aliens enjoyer)
Ethan Fisher
alien 3 is just straight hot garbage because of how good it could have actually been. they had such wonderful cinematography, great actors, all the best talent...yet what they ended up with was the most expensive "in the name of the rose in space" of all time with shot after shot of creepy dirty british people and some glimpses of laughable alien fx. I mean seriously...how do you go from the absolute perfection in f/x that is aliens to little dogs wearing masks running around on set in alien 3?
Cameron Roberts
Nice numbers, still wrong though. My friend, having the wish of another male tongueing your anus is undeliably gay. Have a sneed, cope and dilate and don't get nightmares from being wrong.
Don't you dare call me a tranny, user. Don't you fucking dare. Take it back. We can disagree about aliens but I spend my life fighting troons, that's too fucking far.
Dylan Johnson
finally a good alien thread with good opinions alien >>>> alien sequels > aliens
Cooper Davis
>Alien is boring >Aliens is based >Alien 3 is a piece of shit >Alien resurrections is garbage but unironically better than 3 and has some enjoyable schlock. It's a beautiful butterfly
Did boomers ACTUALLY find sigourney weaver "sexy"???
Noah Edwards
>powerful but still feminine and fragile >bush you zoomers dont know whats what
Cooper Reyes
she was sexy for about 8 months and her casting profile is full of those pictures. it's the kind of thing where you once thought a chick was super hot and still like her even after she starts to turn into a man
Sebastian Perez
While I agree with you in spirit, there really was no other way to handle a sequel successfully. You have to adapt and change the game, the same film twice always falls flat. Alien is the better film by a country mile but for what it is Aliens is superb.
Sebastian Long
>fridge body >"feminine" We get it; you want to fuck your ugly mom despite simultaneously hating her.
