I refuse to look up Alien Romulus and I choose to believe it's just a shitpost. Let's go watch Alien Qo'noS, and watch a xenomorph do violent sex stuff allegory, then we kill her. Alien Cardassia Prime is going to fuckin' rule guys.

Alien Trill would get... confusing. 
every franchise will be squeezed for profit until you recoil in disgust at the very mention of its name
That's how I already feel about both the MCU and the Spider-Man reboot/origin-reboot parade. I heard Into the Spiderverse was really good but my allergies kicked up too much to try it. 
The cartoon one with the anarchist spiderman was pretty good
" it's a solid film.
Fede Álvarez is such an edgelord hack, his previous two projects were Don't Breathe 2, a movie where
and that awful Texas Chainsaw remake that isn't even worth discussing. but this is Hollywood so he will continue to fail upwards and brainless horror fans will keep lapping this franchise slop up like the good little piggies they areCW: SA
the turkey-baster rapist from the first movie gets an epic redemption arc and becomes the "hero"
say what you want about Prometheus, at least it was about something
and that awful Texas Chainsaw remake
THEY GOT THE TCM 2022 GUY TO DO ALIEN
lmao yeah I mean technically he only came up with the story and didn't write the actual script or direct. but that's maybe even worse because other people had to do all the hard work in executing his terrible ideas while he gets to rake in the profits as a producer
and honestly Álvarez is a competent director but he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a script. but I guess it's cheaper to have him direct his shitty first drafts instead of having to pay a talented screenwriter
Our slop franchises in good hands, I see

my new headcanon is this is why there's a

prometheus baby birth scene
Do they explain why it has that name or what it has to do with rome?
Yes.
So the wolf is the human?
The wolf is Xenomorph
Does it have xenobazongas?
Why do people keep falling for the Alien meme dude? They already played all their lore cards and they really suck. If you're going to loop back into the significance of humanity in scifi, at least make a statement. The whole franchise at this point runs on this needlessly pretentious vibe they never back up.
Just got back from it moments ago, and I kinda liked it?
It definitely winked too hard a couple times at the audience (hey remember THIS from the other movies?) but I thought it looked pretty solid throughout, i thought the new takes on some things were cool, and i weirdly appreciated the Resurrection/Prometheus pieces that were taken, despite strongly disliking those movies. I am usually a very harsh critic on movies, so maybe i'm finally old or maybe its because i'm just a little tiny bit high, but its better than i feared and i'm gonna count it as a win.
I'm with you. It definitely didn't need to reference the older movies as much, deepfake Ian Holm was totally unnecessary, but for being a horror thriller I thought it kept up the tension pretty well. Not exactly high art, but definitely a good popcorn movie.

yeah I think we're all in agreement that it isn't a horrible movie but no better than anything else currently in theaters.
it was trash, thank hollywood for cams
