@onmydayout I dislike both, but I dislike David's elements so much more. If you wanted A.I philosophy and general themes of creation, Blade Runner is right next door. The man's been trying to make Alien into Blade Runner for years and it's bad.
@BYD3N3349@StaidBubble12 Sorry for late reply, never got notif. This specific version? The one I described.
The "Comic King" that people assume this creature to be is in fact the Rouge, which was named King unofficially or by offhand mention.
For reference, King by Sideshow and Rouge by Prime 1 Studio.
@Just_Dan1el@BenDaves3 AvP Hate is so forced, not that those movies were any good beyond popcorn munching, but it has been decades since 04 and 07. We gotta stop blaming those films for the problems Alien is experiencing right now.
For the record, I think both Prequels and Rom were bad.
@KindaCulty The right answer is that both are bad and we need a Alien film that isn't Scott's obsession with robot philosophy or Alvarez's nostalgia bait.
People begging for a game made by Illfonic means that no one learned their lesson from Predator: Hunting Grounds.
I don't know what it will take for people to refuse anything made from those utterly incompetent Studio.
@WithinTheStars_@boppitcorn >Alien Collab
>AvP depiction
>second AvP depiction, actually.
Almost like AvP might actually be more than 0.01% valid.
@BYD3N3349@StaidBubble12 It's not, it's a very niche form/evolution that has had very few appearances in media that even then is dubiously Canon to the mainline (Alien anyway) series.
The Xenomorph King/Monstrosity is basically a Xenomorph Godzilla that only forms in massive hives as Elite guardians.
@WolfiexLuna@poizonazn@dvveet I just hope the little lorefluff for this skin makes it in line with the Monstrosity as with the AvP Tabletop depiction rather than simply "Alien King".
Ik Fireteam Elite 2 also has Herk Mundo stuff so maybe Fox is looking at finally delving into the EU for once?
@ArtBahlam It's likely less coincidence than you'd think. Although it could also just as easily be a Dutch resemblance.
Trachtenberg's been on record essentially stating that he really liked the Alpha Pred concept/story, which is why that Amengi Statue's included at the start of the film.
@Magistrotheriu1@RickDaSquirrel_ Yea, you just missed the Collab Season, but they are still around to obtain (randomly) until it is announced that they are leaving the game's drop pools (shouldn't be for a while.)
@yautjahypeguy Generally, I'd agree, but Xenopedia's interpretation is not law; and an estimation at best given everything out until now.
As it stands, what comes out under Trachtenberg's direction and his own statements is what to follow nowadays.
@Terrordome3K @mjgodzilla100 I'll say this, if Dan Trachtenberg wasn't directing this and he didn't have the track record with Predator like he does, I'd probably be saying the same thing.
He should be given the Keys to Alien too, he knows what he's doing, which is more than i can say for Hawley or Alvarez.
@Terrordome3K @mjgodzilla100 Granted, it's not my favorite design in the world either, but there are worse fates than '97/'04/'07 & '17.
AvP as a whole was going to be something more resembling the comics, which is why I'm glad Badlands is going the way it is.
@Terrordome3K @mjgodzilla100 Just because those different instances of Xenos have the same design does not mean that they are in any way related besides the visuals.
One were bred by Yautja for blooding hunts in '04 and the others were made thru replication of DNA far later. In no way have they interacted.
@Terrordome3K @mjgodzilla100 I have no idea where this AvP Xeno = Resurrection Xeno business is coming from. They're separate designs in different contexts besides design cause suit reuse.
What? Is Greyback just Jungle Hunter since Greyback's Suit is a modified Jungle Hunter, and it breaks continuity?
