Rewatching Alien 3. I don't remember much besides the story being bad.

It's a rough watch.

Early Alien: Romulus Reactions Are Starting To Come In! - Alien vs. Predator Galaxy

D23, the gigantic fan convention focused around Disney, is taking place this weekend. Normally a place for news and announcements about upcoming Disney films and products, for a number of lucky social media influencers and content creators, it was also an opportunity to watch Alien: Romulus...

I hope there’s actually continuity in the storyline and it’s not just a rehash of the original.

Thanks. Kind of useful and I think most if not all of these are on Hulu right now.

Wasn't there one more movie in the Prometheus/Alien Covenant series? I thought the story line had it's own trilogy.

I think that was the plan, but it may have ended with covenant.

Is AVP cannon?

 

[djlunchbox]

I dunno about my cannon i just think because it has Aliens we have to consider it part of the universe.

Seems kind of weird that Romulus takes place between Alien and Aliens.

Edit: I suppose in this timeline, W-Y gets a report of an incident with the xenomorphs and begins establishing colonies throughout the galaxy, likely in areas where they think these incidents occurred. When Ripley is found, the colony on LV-426 has been there for decades, which lines up. So, they know it's out there somewhere, and Ripley specifically reveals where they encountered it.

Is AVP cannon?

It kinda is, because of Bishop in Aliens. He is a clone of the real Charles Bishop Weyland in AVP and I forget how he became a clone in the early movies. I'll have to look that up.

 

[WASPS ANDD ASPS]

All I member from Covenant was:

Dr Manhattan looking in the ominous alien facehugger pod, just becauss Fassbender asked him to.... died his *** off


Franco being the pilot



EDIT:

Bruuhhhhhh!!! WTF who wrote this?
At this point in the film, people are already dead and u gonna put your face in weird ****

Was reading some backstory on the franchise. I did not realize the Alien premiere was in Seattle. It was at SIFF. My mom said "yeah, where do you think I saw it?" She was actually at the premiere with some guy she was dating (who did not end up being my dad) and nobody knew anything about it. She said it was the most terrifying movie she'd ever seen, and still to this day.

I should probably rewatch Covenant, dont remember much about it except that I really didnt like it. And I loved Prometheus

Got it. I haven’t seen Aliens in a while so I gotta catch it again one of these days.

AVP established Bishop as a synthetic form of of Weyland, looking exactly like him. But, in Prometheus, Guy Pearce's character is supposed to be Weyland, so it gets confusing. What is also ret-conned is Ash and other synthetics that act on their own accord. David in Prometheus pushes the Law of Robotics, whereas Bishop honors them. Ash (in between both) breaks all of those laws by being programmed by the company.

It's even referenced in both movies, specifically in Aliens, and to a lesser degree in Prometheus. Remember the scene when David asks Holloway what he'd do to find out the truth? He says "I would do anything". That gave David the green light to infect him. In Aliens, Bishop literally tells everyone (mainly, Ripley) he's not allowed to harm humans as he guides the transport ship down.

You liked the movies after Alien and Aliens?

I liked 3 after revisiting it and looking at all the things I like about David Fincher films. 4 had its problems but the weird alien baby at the end scared me more than any other alien film. And I also thought 4 had great performances from the supporting cast. The AVP films are TRASH. And I really enjoyed Prometheus, even though the plot was pretty bad.

Tried watching Covenant a couple times and can never get past 30 minutes or so.
