BlackAntAlien: Covenant ForumWhich Alien suit was better? Alien (1979) or Aliens (1986)?

Well well well.....Did IQ's drop sharply while I was away!!!! Yes the false reports of my death were premature indeed.....no tears were shed for me when I was not here all these long months....sniff sniff sniff sighhhhh......pffffft too!

Anyways lets get to it then LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

So TRIPLE OG Alien 1979? or Different 1986 Alien?

For me I have always and will continue to loath the clear carapace, or head covering that reveals the eye sockets....When I was in the theater and saw the original Alien in 1979 you could not see the eye sockets what so ever....and every time I see "The original Big Chap" with those ridiculous eye sockets I would rather shave my head with a cheese grader and chew on tin foil!!!

So for me and forever I enjoy both monsters equally as long as you cannot see those big silly eye sockets.

For me the Alien was more intriguing and mysterious for the simple fact that it did not need eyes at all to hunt it's prey. Eyes are a vulnerability for something so advanced as a bio-mechanical weapon designed by the engineers, which are millions of years more evolved than humans. So no I hate the clear carapace head piece and always have and always will.

What I despise even more is that supposedly David made the Alien that we see on LV-426? I say supposedly because in a sane world where there would never be preposterous ignorant prequels, there would instead be real movies with writers and producers that have real talent. We have all payed such a high price for the sin conjured up as AC. No I shall not defend this ridiculousness that the original Alien was milked for to the last drop. I drink no more from the chalice of what may have been or what could be. Prometheus was a good looking film with potential....and yet somehow we were all cheated like so much fodder for a quick buck so we could see some slick fast CGI of the engineers and then....David some how mastering millions of years old Alien technology and wiping them all out with their own weapons.....Ok believe that nonsense if you want to; however, in reality that story-line is only believable for the weak minded movie goers. You really believe the Engineers had no security protocols on their technology? Seriously?

If you believe that they did not then I have a slightly used juggernaut to sell if anyone is interested....very low miles of course.

Does anyone see any eyes here.....I don't and millions of other Alien fans did not see the beast with any eyes either. I could post hundreds of other pics but I will not....we all like what we like and that is that!

This is in bronze by the way and no eyes either!

 M.O.G.U.E.R.A. (1994)

It's supposed to be an "upgrade" for Mechagodzilla.

It's "superior" in the same way that a Virtual Boy is "superior" to a Nintendo Switch (NOT AT ALL...)

SarcasticGoji

This topic was only partially based on your topic (it wasn't meant to be a full response). It was mainly me venting the frustration towards the paleo community that I've had for the past 7 years. The topic of scientific accuracy in film has been a huge debate since 2014, and it's something that unfortunately has become way too heated. I've been obsessed with prehistoric life since I was very young, and it makes me upset to see the community surrounding this subject acting this hostile towards everything. As much as I love accurate dinosaurs, it's annoying to see these "paleo elitists" constantly whining over inaccuracies. My main point of this topic was that people get way too angry and dramatic over this subject and need to calm down. I mainly used the Jurassic series as an example because it's the one that gets targeted the most by the paleo community. I love Jurassic Park and I mostly like Jurassic World (Fallen Kingdom was kind of ehh in my opinion) so it makes me sad to see these movies become a punching bag for the paleo community.

After a bit of thinking, a came to the conclusion that its hard for me to dislike any kaiju. I grew fond of them. I guess the giant condor was useless, but still holds a tiny space in my heart.

Yeah, I don’t blame you. The way I became interested by reading scientific articles on them. So when I bought books about dinosaurs I would critique them on accuracy as well. 

As for my Topic, my point wasn’t that hollywood isn’t accurate, it just seems to me, that they label things they call accuracy are not added for accuracy as I said, it’s something they use as a tool to shock people and draw more attention. 

I just used Jurassic Park as an example because it had innacurracies, but I still really like the films.

Why go to the attraction, when you could have your own 1/100th scale replica of it, right? LOL. (In case you don't get it: why go on the ride when the figure is literally a mini version of the ride.)

Here's one of the shots. Very low quality screen grab though. (It's easier to forgive with such bad quality.)

The scene where they fire at them and they’re running around?

I have a lot to say about this subject (too much to fit in one comment) so I'll probably make a response topic.  

As far as the "rainbow" feathered rex in Dinosaur Island (2014) goes, it's now considered inaccurate as there have been multiple fossilized skin impressions of later tyrannosaurs (mainly T. rex, Tarbosaurus, Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and Gorgosaurus) that show that they were mostly, if not completely scaly (despite what some feather obsessed people in the paleo community try to claim).

CHAPTER 8

 

“I feel something is off.” Xilla said. 

“Me too… Has something happened to our son?”

“I don’t know.”

“I think we should go find him.” 

“Yeah I agree.”

Zilla and Xilla set out to find ZIlla Jr. by following his footsteps and his scent. 

 

Zilla Jr. shivered. There was something off. It was quiet. None of the birds were singing. No animals were making sounds. The only sound was the wind. Even Zilla Jr. stopped breathing. It felt eerie. Like a spell had been cast over them. Then, something broke the silence. A loud boom shook the hollow earth. He and his parents were on the part where the gravity was opposite to the earth’s normal gravity. Zilla Jr. did not know what to do. He took a deep breath and listened to the little feeling inside of him. Zilla Jr. was an analytical thinker. He would analyze the surroundings and deem the necessary way and the most efficient way to achieve whatever he was trying to achieve. But now, the surroundings were different from anything he’d seen before. The animals were screaming, cracks appeared in the ground and jets of hot air sprayed out of them. The rumbling resembled a 13.3 on the Richter Scale, and Zilla Jr.’s legs could not handle the vibration. He tumbled to the ground. After the pressure was released from the cracks, the rumbling stopped for a few minutes. Zilla Jr. was unconscious but when the rumbling started again, he was shaken awake by his head slipping into a huge crack. He stood up quickly to avoid falling into the crack. The rumbling finally stopped for good No, it was not a crack anymore. It was a fault. The fault went on for as long as Zilla Jr. could see, and there were so many of them. The land had turned to Swiss cheese. 

 

Zilla and Xilla struggled to stay on their feet. They managed to keep their heads up long enough to see that the far far away land erupted up (up in their perspective, but actually down in our perspective.) The land that burst up crashed into the opposite part of land where the gravity was normal. Earth’s crust has been breached, breaking the ecosystem between the surface and the hollow earth, but they did not know what did it. But as soon as the rock landed, both of them felt scared, but they did know why. 

 

Zilla Jr. climbed up a mountain. Helooked behind him. He saw light coming from below, which he knew was not supposed to happen. He felt lighter on top of the mountain and the environment looked different. There wasn’t much fauna around him. He wanted to explore the other side of the hollow earth. He jumped and flew, albeit not gracefully, to the other side and threw up the rest of the skull crawler when he landed due to the gravity change. He was still not used to it. Zilla Jr. saw the huge rock on the horizon that had breached the crust. It was a rock from space. He wanted to see what it was but first, he needed to get back to his parents. He jumped back to the other side. 

 

Zilla and Xilla went to the tall mountain Zillla Jr. jumped off of, and saw that Zilla Jr. was jumping back to the mountain to be with his parents. 

“Can we go see what that is?” Zilla Jr. said, motioning to the huge rock. 

“First let’s get some food,” Xilla said. 

They soon got food and felt rejuvenated. They walked toward the mountain again and jumped to the opposite side, but this time Zilla Jr. did not throw up. As they were walking to the rock, they saw creatures sitting next to the huge pile of rubble, unmoving. They were still maybe a few kilometers away but they were still able to see what was going on. A couple of full grown warbats, a gigantic Titanus Kong, and a dozen huge skull crawlers. But that was not all. Two absolutely HUGE  pterodactyls with flaming wings came from the hole in the crust. Titanus Rodan. Next was a creature resembling a sauropod of immense proportions with spikes on its back. Titanus Methuselah. After was a big creature that had big tusks and walked like Titanus Kong. Titanus Behemoth. And finally, the last two Titanus emerged from the breach in the crust were a huge spider and a massive unidentifiable terrestrial organism. Titanus Scylla and Titanus Jinshin-Mushi. They all walked backwards in unison as rumbling came from the pile of rubble. But a loud roar sounded from behind Zilla Jr. It was Dagon, the current alpha of the titans. He had company. Two more Titanus Gojiras flanked Dagon on each side. Dagon detected a disturbance in the balance of power. The rumbling grew louder and a bright flash blinded everything in the hollow earth. Bolts of yellow lighting shot everywhere, tearing through the rock and fauna alike. After the flash cleared, what was left of the rubble was what the elders had warned Xilla about. His species. The titans at the foot of the rubble bowed to the three headed monster. They bowed in resentment, but acceptance. They bowed to… King Ghidora.
