Aliens Romulus

[Ultra Magnus13]

New Alien Earth trailer is here.

Looking pretty good. Looks like we see a pulse rifle, an SMG Pulse Rifle variant, and a Smartgun.

2120 sounds too early for Xenos to be on Earth in a lab and a city.

As much as I would love to regain even a speck of faith in the Alien franchise, I'm afraid Romulus was my last hail mary and they fumbled the ball.

It is. Im sure we are going to get the ship self destructing or maybe even a Predator showing up as one of the other aliens to clear the slate and wipe out most of the evidence.

That looks great! I can't wait to see this show! Definitely a good reason to keep Hulu.

Well, we know that Earth gets trashed in the next two centuries, but we know that it's pretty decent still 60 years later, so probably no world wide out break yet.

I loved that film. It was pretty good isolated story ad I loved how they brought back an original character.

Maybe, but we will have to see.

Here's my thing with it. I see the Alien franchise as having two distinct distinct life cycles. One is the one James Cameron solidified with the queen in Aliens. The franchise stuck with this life cycle for decades. Any fan of the franchise knew this life cycle. It was how the franchise was set in stone.

But then Ridley Scott threw a hissy fit because that wasn't his original vision and, like a pouting child, forced this mutating virus into the franchise where it no longer fit.He retconned decades worth of lore because he had to have it his way or no way at all.

When it comes to Romulas, I was actually really enjoying it. It felt like the franchise was finally getting back on track and I was watching the first good Alien movie in a long time...until the latter half of the film where they placed in squarely in the mutating virus continuity.

I don't begrudge Ridley Scott for trying. But he's had multiple films to sell his grand vision and it's still doesn't feel like it's going anywhere. It was totally worth a shot. It didn't work.
