Glad I stopped watching it after season 1, I mean freaking robot dogs...seriously. Why not canonize the Chaos Effect toyline instead?
Season 4, essentially Spino Fanboy Bait and Robo dogs
Wait what Robo-dogs? I haven't even reached season 2 yet
Atrociraptors is my bet, based on his description and this one seems to be in active pursuit, but I’m not sure my line of thinking is very grounded
someone else posted this I think, but I appreciate that you outlined it.
Sorry this site is kinda inactive.
but honestly I agree. While whether or not the show is good is debatable. The fourth season feels weird. I mean the robo dogs feel so out of place
Well if you stretch enough it’s related,
The Weyland Yutani Corp makes a lot of money, and so do casinos, so yeah.
These editorials have always showed up on every forum, I’ve just accepted it as part of the site.
I don't know but I have played an ALIENS theme slot machine at my local casino
"I just hope its NOT going to go a more Comic like way like MARVEL Series and we see Xenomorphs Running around say NEW YORK or LOS ANGELES"
I was thinking more of Dark Horse comics Aliens Outbreak/Earth Hive, Nightmare Asylum and Female War/Earth War
Umm what does this have to do with alien?
I love oviraptors because they are omnivores and I find that cool
So anyhow, would you rather have Del Toro do something original with Godzilla or be the next director for a MV Goji movie?
BigGrayGolem,
I am a moderater. And I have no interest in a post count--Note that I post a lot less than most other people in this thread. So practically nothing you've said hold much weight. But I will ask how I've insulted "everyone", especially when I'm not the one who has done the name calling. (Yet someone else very clearly did.) This seems to to be spun periodically.
To not derail sonictiger's thread any further, you are welcome to continue the conversation in my inbox.
Related to G. H. Gman's constant, never-ending spamming, to be honest, I won't post here either. It's just impossible to have a conversation with someone who is going to comment on nearly every possible comment, insult everyone, and then tell everyone else it's their problem they get insulted. I really wish we had a decent G-board to hold discussions, but it only takes one high-post-count clout seeker to ruin it. Without moderators, this is what you get.
I guess it could in Part Explain as to WHY the Earth looked how it did in Alien Resurrection, but i would prefer it if the Xenomorphs would be KEPT AWAY from Earth.
Thats just my Personnel Opinion though and i raise it as a Concern that we have to HANDLE the Xenomorph with CARE.
I think there is more RISK if your having it SET on Earth, in that if any TV Show or Movie that takes this ROUTE becomes something that BOMBS then the ALIEN Franchise could be Tarnished and made into a JOKE.
However it maybe could WORK if its DONE in the Right Way... but if we see Xenomorphs running around a Urban Setting then i WORRY!
with AVP we see the Predators had Contained the Temples in the Antarctic and ANY SIGNS of things getting OUT of Control then the WHOLE AREA is NUKED!
So if some Humans have a Specimen in a REMOTE LOCATION in a Heavily Secured Outpost and then after a Outbreak this Place is then NUKED... then Yeah! i could maybe BUY THAT.
I just hope its NOT going to go a more Comic like way like MARVEL Series and we see Xenomorphs Running around say NEW YORK or LOS ANGELES
When i look at Alien Resurrection i get the Impression of something more like Raised by Wolves, in which we get to a Point when NOT ONLY have we got WARING FACTIONS of Humans but we also have A.I and even the Autons and so the Earth is suffering from a WAR over WHO will Rule the Planet.
which then maybe Explains that USM are trying to Obtain the Xenomorph as a WEAPON to TRY and Turn the TIDE.
Its too EARLY to be sure about WHAT the TV Series will become but i Fear we will get Starship Troopers Meets AVPR
I think Halo is too complex for Hollywood, more than likely we will get a dumb down theme park version with this tv series. I mean there has been Live Action adaptations of Halo that are actually set in the same universe as the games so having the new series set in a different universe is like WTF
It certainly sounds mildly confusing. How much of the establish game lore with the show borrow from is unknown beyond Halsey, Chief and the Covenant war. I would have loved a deep dive into the Fall of Reach or some other iconic moments from within the game timeline but I'll remain optimistic for now.
My biggest question right now is - will the show take place on a Halo ring at all? Will they discover dormant flood? The 2 go hand in hand as pivotal moments within Halo... I hope it's not just some human story with a side of Grunts.
This doesn't sound very good
Jack Capellini,
Part of it was the times in that the country had never seen anything like those films before. But what stood out was subject matter pertaining to current events and broad themes. Everyone knows what the original stood for, but then you have Rodan which was a take on PTSD and aerial effects. The Mysterians was an alien invasion movie and one of the first of the genre with a mecha--Less monster movie more science fiction. King Kong vs. Godzilla was a self-aware satire on Japanese television and adopted capitalism--Something that carried over into Mothra which was the real game changer. Suddenly the films were leaning more into fantasy and invited Godzilla into that realm with Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster, by which time the films had a particular Cold War slant.
Keep in mind a lot of these films weren't directly concerned with monsters fighting monsters, but how everyday people with various jobs (coast guards, scientists, fishermen, coal miners, marketing agents, reporters, detectives, etc) reacted to the appearance of these creatures. This is particularly true for solo monster movies.
Also consider these films weren't trying to build a world, but focus on being the best films possible unto themselves. This allowed for a wider array of tones, atmospheres and topics across multiple movies unconcerned with continuity. When you have the intention of creating a "shared universe" from the get-go you immediately pigeonhole yourself into a tone that every subsequent film must adhere to barring minor variation.
Ok, maybe those two for Japan...and Del Toro could either helm the next Godzilla MV movie or an entirely new project entirely.
While he probably could do characters like Madison justice in a Godzilla 3, I think he should make something entirely new when it comes to Godzilla.
@G. H. (Gman): What made the early Showa Era films stand out from one another?
Takashi Yamazaki and Kiyotaka Taguchi--Or a partnership of the two. It's been my dream team for years.
That wish partially came true since Yamazaki directed the footage for Godzilla the Ride--But he needs to head a full feature.
"how do you make each film stand out from one another,"
Answer: Early Showa Era films.
Yeah, it would be great to see some branching out...
Del Toro is an amazing fit for the next American Godzilla in my opinion. Anyhow, any Japanese directors you think could handle Goji's next Japan outing?
HinikunaGoji,
He was only a producer for Antlers, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Mama and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. As I understand it he hand picked the directors for each of those projects, though.
He was, however, responsible for directing Mimic, Hellboy I & II, Crimson Peak, Shape of Water and Nightmare Alley, which I have just so happen to have returned from in theaters.
And as sonictiger pointed out, the excellent Pacific Rim, which probably stands as one of my favorite Hollywood blockbusters of the last 10 years.
I am genuinely interested in this. Go Go Godzilla!
Also he did make Pacific Rim, so he has Kaiju experience.
Yes he did, he made Pans Labrynth, Antlers, Scary stories to tell in the dark, Mama, Don’t be afraid of the dark, and others
And Del Toro has made horror too...
I enjoyed Krampus, it wasn’t badly written, and it was just an ok movie.
Interesting all the MV directors so far are horror directors. I’d like to keep that tradition.
Godzilla: King of The Monsters has a lot of redeeming elements, but honestly I assume Dougherty's other projects are better. KOTM is honestly just FINE, but I hope a potential Godzilla 3 (not GVK) could bring in a talented group of filmmakers. I wouldn't be opposed to see a movie directed by Guillermo Del Toro if I were to choose...
HinikunaGoji,
Trick r Treat is Dougherty's best film and isn't close. He showed a lot of promise with that film. Krampus, not so much. It's a worthwhile technical achievement though. I'll give it that much.
This is hilariously awesome.
"i Certainly think having it SET on Earth is a Mistake even if its in the Year 2200+"
Why though? I mean it could explain why the earth ended up in its desolate state by time of Alien Resurrection
We can only wait and see.
It will likely run for 10-12 Episodes at 45 Min each, but maybe it could Start with a up to 2 Hour Prologue then have 10X 45 Min Episodes
Hopefully we should KNOW more come the Spring.
