I wished the TV series would have been more like the Alien RPG instead of another Prequel series.

I want a Star Trek: The Next Generation version of the ALIEN TV series, I don't want a Star Trek: Discovery version of the ALIEN TV series.

Meaning, they should adapt and expand on the ALIEN's human civilization. Outside of the Alien RPG and Dark Horse Alien/AVP Comics, we know next to nothing about the alien-verse outside of the Weyland/Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the Xenomorphs.

The Predators are called Yautja by the way.

Well you don't have to evolve the xenomorph to change the ALIEN movie format. You could play into more of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation storyline and their attempts to weaponize the xenomorphs or canonicalize the Union of People's Progression, the Three World Empire, and United America's interstellar cold war, with xenomorphs caught in the middle.

Big Dave you need to read the Alien RPG books they have done with some interesting things with the xenomorphs or more accurately interesting things with the black goo

human villians are okay as long its the xenomorph thats the main antagonist as in being the more direct antagonist

I mean, I never did watch Evangelion.  But it is interesting to think about.  Kind of like what would of happened if Godzilla '98 was actually faithful to the source material and was a hit.

"but for the simple fact that it's 2023 and every movie coming out lately has been a regurgitation of the same woke tropes stuffed into ever crevasse of a movie's plot"

Sadly this is Very True....

In regards to the Movie we know so LITTLE about it... i dont have as much Concern for it as i do the TV Series though...

It seems more likely it will touch upon the more Horror Aspect of the Xenomorph, which is what ALIEN and ALIEN 3 had done vs the more Action Aspect of a ALIENS and ALIEN R.  We have seen much more of a Action side to the Xenomorph in Comics and Video Games vs the Horror/Thriller Aspect.

So im ok with them Exploring a Unsuspecting Group of Humans who Stumble upon some Horror that they are NOT prepared for and have LITTLE in the way of Military Experience and Weapons to deal with.

I do HOWEVER... feel your limited with the Xenomorph, this Movie could WORK.. but i dont think you can go over and over with the Horror Aspect before the Xenomorph becomes Friday the 13th in Space with a ALIEN MONSTER...

But on the Flip Side... going all out Action as in Military Might vs Xenomorphs is again something i cant see you pulling off OVER and OVER... before we get a more Limited Version of Star Ship Troopers... Unless we have Xeno Evolution and Xeno-Ships then we will have Star Ship Troopers...

For me i think RS was on the Right Track with Prometheus and what he may have wanted to do before he had to "give them F-ing Aliens" as he said..

"the ones that most fans would consider the definitive ALIEN movie."

It really depends on what is meant by this? There are a LOT of Alien Fans across Generations who have Varried views on the Franchise.... from the POPCORN Perspective then ALIENS was the Bigger Hit, its what most remember when you mention ALIEN. The Movie was kind of the Perfect Alien Action Flick.....

We have since seen the ALIEN over and over in Various Platforms, that its something that is a BIT of a Poisoned Chalice.... as the Expectation is High and since ALIENS there have been more MISS than HITS...

The ALIEN Franchise is Synonymous with the Xenomorph and for many you cant have a ALIEN Movie or TV Series or any other related Format (Novel, Game, Comic) that has the ALIEN Prefix and NOT have the Xenomorph.

To a degree this is CORRECT... i mean AVP was ALIEN VS PREDATOR... not XVP as in Xeno vs Predator.... but unless they are Really Clever and can find a way to Uplift/Evolve the Xenomorph then i worry you cant have like 40%+ of a shows Screen Time related to them... before it gets Bland....

So you have to introduce other Aspects..... and some of these may NOT please every Fan but you can NEVER go and please everyone...

For me i think Ridley Scott had the RIGHT IDEA.... there is ONLY so much Face Hugging, Chest Bursting and Snarling that you can do before you have to EVOLVE the Beast..... But the BIGGEST thing i feel RS was Correct with is that Once you have seen the Xenomorph over and over, and KNOW as to HOW they was Created etc..... the BIGGER Question/Threat is WHO would Create such a THING and WHY?

This applies to WHO would TRY to Obtain a Specimen and WHAT would be their Ultimate Agenda... as its THIS which will give the Chest Burster some Legs so to speak.

The Xenomorph as the Ultimate Killer... is Questionable.... they are NO LONGER that Treat they were from ALIEN....   A simple Question.... Terminator vs Alien who would WIN?

As a Bio-Weapon the Xenomorph is Flawed vs other Options that a Advanced Humanoid Race could possess.  But the Xenomorph has the Potential as far as some of its Advantages so its a case of can you CONTROL them and HOW... could you Hybridize them, could you USE some of their Genetics for a Greater Purpose of Military Gain....

So its a CASE of WHO would look to achieve these as the Bigger Plot... and ULTIMATELY their Hubris would be that the Xenomorph can not be Controlled.

I have said this a Number of times before and its just my Opinion, i think your LIMITED to what can be done with the Xenomorph on its own...  The Xenomorph has a Unique Life-Cycle, and Aesthetically its kind of Unique. But alone and if its OUT in the OPEN then it is NOT that Scary.... It sadly becomes like a Zombie Flick to a degree (they are Worse than a Zombie) but we have seen Xenomorphs over and over like Zombie Flicks.... and so they will LOOSE their Effect the more you SHOW them.... unless you UPLIFT or Evolve them....

And so i have to Agree with Thoughts_Dreams on this one.... something else that they OFTEN talk about is Characters... this is KEY!  The Advantage of a TV Series is you can Develop Characters more Efficiently than you can within the Restraints of a 2 Hour Movie.

With a TV Series you cant go and Reveal your Hand too Early and so IF you throw the Xenomorphs into the MIX from like 2 Hours into the TV Series or God Forbid Less, then are they going to keep us Interested by the End of a 8-12EP TV Show?

If you have Hordes of Xenomorphs from say EP 2-3 then they are to Feature in Most of the Episodes its then HOW to you keep a Majority of people Interested if the Story is just going to be about Xenos and them Killing Folk!

The Walking Dead was a Success due to other Factors and Threats and GOOD CHARACTERS..... without them and ONLY to deal with the Zombie Threat then it would just be Repetitive and Boring after a while.  And so Primarily i doubt the Xenomorph alone would Survive the Test of Time of a TV Series if its Over-saturated.

I can't wait

Cool Godzilla

Cool, I'm just saying this, this movie is not for me. I can accept the inaccurate dinosaurs from Jurassic Park/World because they were genetically engineered or Primal since it has cavemen with dinosaurs but 65 is just..... why?

Any new information on this game?

UPDATE 3/25/2023:
Last weekends official numbers came late. Shin Kamen Rider finished at #2 for the weekend behind My Happy Marriage with 541.9 Million Yen ($4.1 Million). A little lower than previously reported. The weekend attendance was 345,446, already surpassing recent genre finale numbers such as the Polygon Godzilla Anime Trilogy (which didn't have nearly the number of theaters as Shin Kamen Rider) and Rampage. (Box Office Theory via Kogyotsushin, Pixiin)

No word on how it's been doing over the week other than it has remained in the top 3 at the box office. Numbers for the second weekend should be out soon. Charts for the opening weekend are up.

Unless they're doing what Singular Point did (recycling older kaiju designs and trying to pass them off as "new" and "original"), I think it's safe to say that it's Jiger.

I'm gonna check the movie out, like the saying goes, don't judge a book by it's cover.

Not a big Gamera fan but the poster is really cool!

Of course the story needs a copius amount of human characters, thats a given. The xenos alone can't carry an Alien movie. What I was trying to say, the androids need to have a minimal role.

I'm fine with the franchise expanding and including different things, but I'm worried that this will also have too much of the android-story in it. Another AI-tale would make the franchise worse, I believe. This is what happened with the prequels when they became a David-story.

This isn't to say that they got to have Xenos in every scene, but please focus on the human story and limit the android-part. No amount of Xenos will work if we don't care about the characters.

I also watched a youtuber review on it and it sounded very dumb

I wouldn't call Kylo Ren an Icon, he was a very annoying character that was a knock-off to Darth Vader

Adam Driver is in it, people said its horrible, so I won't watch it but I'll atleast give them credit for having an icon in Star Wars, Kylo Ren.

Wait, theres a new dino movie? Well okay, I'm not going to watch it.

Cool Godzilla

I think a combination of it using its jaws and one of its feet, similar in fashion in how some species of birds manipulate objects

G. H. (Gman)

I didn't know that

I wonder if Evangelion would have still been a hit if everything went more smoothly and according to schedule?

"It's all a result of nuclear pollution. Very shortly, Godzilla will come back to life and wreak havoc on Japan. He'll destroy nuclear plants, and this of course will cause pollution. After that, the radiation will destroy vegetation and cause cancers, even mutations, and then, as a result of all this, your mother country will become uninhabitable and Japan will not exist."

Its a possibility, however anatomically its impossible for any theropod to turn its wrists facing downward. That also means, quadrupedal theropods are also an impossibility for the same reason.

So although a raptor could open doors, just not with its hands.

Xenotaris,
As I understand it, he was still struggling with it.

Wait Ark 2 isn't going to be like the first game? what?!
