Am sorry about the passed away buddy. I hope you feeling better now. Reviews like these make me wonder if Ridley is genuinely a hack by this point. Him saying "more interesting," when the more "interesting" aspect by his warped standard is that the Aliens aren't alien anymore. They are indirectly made by mankind. That kills the mystique. Now by his ideas, the Xeno is basically a Resident Evil bioweapon. Unrelated, but i really hope you can play and review the Thing video game remaster. I am excited to see your thoughts as i loved, loved your review of the original, unpatched version. I couldn't ask further as YT keeps deleting my comments on your Thing review, but i recommend looking at NightDive's videos on the Thing game remaster. Like your thoughts on the game team being ambivalent about redoing the infection system.

Bloody wonderful points! Thank you for the candid comment. Also, I really appreciate the kind words on that video. I will absolutely do a review of the remaster!! :D
@enocescalonaАй бұрын
@@badger.phipps i am uncertain if you'd be able to see this message, but i genuinely wonder what you think about the Thing's game apparent controversy, so at least one or two people on the discord of the ND Studios have said it should have been remade from the infection aspect. While i, encourage the game devs to allow people to be able to mod the game to do the version they want. I really hope you can do some digging around this aspect, as it seems to be what break or makes this Thing game.

Prometheus is underrated minus having a few brain dead characters I appreciate what they were trying to do with giving more insight about the engineers and the black goo and what might of happened with the aliens on the particular planet etc.. Then covenant came along and had more stupid characters,making David the creator or playing a pivotal role in the creation of the aliens taking away the mystery and mystique of them and we got no more development or insight into the engineers also they killed shaw off screen to be experimented on. That movie could of destroyed the franchise and might still do because I was hoping they would acknowledge the black goo stuff slightly going forward and incorporate it into the universe better and discard the elements of covenant that really didn't work or took away the mystery of the aliens but once that fool ridley Scott is involved he will push this black goo more than the actual aliens. Another issue I have with ridley Scott is he hates the idea of the alien queen and any movie that he has been involved in he doesn't acknowledge the presence of the queen in the universe or I should say the queen doesn't exist once he is involved which is ridiculous because most of us were introduced into the alien universe through aliens and the queen is such a cool and bad ass addiction yet because one man doesn't like it, it's ignored...unbelievable. To add to the queen being sidelined by ridley Scott is in covenant its shown David made eggs without the queen,yes there was egg morphing in the first movie but again ridley tries to drive home no queen is needed by showing us David made his own eggs with no queen smh. Out of all the alien movies covenant is the worse,I hate that movies because it's the movie thay could and might kill this franchise if going forward events from that movie has to tie in to the grand story.. Because it's one thing to get a bad movie but when ideas or lore is introduced as cannon that was totally rejected by fans but now it's jus there going forward and has to be worked in..how are the movies going forward suppose to escape this

As far as the goo is concerned, its godlike in its ability to create. I take it you don't understand or like the monolith in 2001...? Its supposed to be ambiguous.

I will never understand the blind praise im hearing for Romulus. Everyone is praising Romulus for exact same issues that they constantly trash Prometheus and Covenant. The characters are flat and forgettable. The writing for them is nonexistent most of the time. The acting is completely dispassionate... or talentless, however you want to look at it. I can remember Ripley obviously, Newt, Hicks, Parker, Dallas, Hudson, Lambert, Vasquez, Ash and Bishop. I can even remember Clemens, Morris and 85, i LOATHE Alien 3. I can remember Call and Johner from Resurrection. I can remember Shaw, Vickers, Daniels and Tennessee. But i cant remember any of the s*** characters in Romulus. The fan service is completely inappropriate for a serious Alien film. Not even Resurrection stooped so low as to directly quote better, better movies in the franchise. As a fan, the "Get away from her you b****" line was completely insulting. How or why would they try to cheapen Ripleys glorious moment in Aliens?? This is how i rank the franchise: Aliens 10/10 Alien 9.5/10 Prometheus 8/10 Alien Covenant 7/10 Alien Resurrection 6.5/10 AVP 6/10 Alien Romulus 6/10 Alien 3 2/10 AVP: Requiem 1/10

Aliens 10/10(one of my favorite movies ever) Alien 9.5/10 Alien 3 7.5/10(killing hicks and newt was such a bad idea but Alien 3 has aged wel for me and appreciate more especially knowing studio interference held it back from being better) Romulus 7/10(besides the ending and black goo reminder really enjoyed the movie and adds to the franchise) Prometheus 6.5/10(would be higher if some of the characters wasn't written so stupid but I understood the new lore they brought in and it was intriguing) AvP 6/10(guilty pleasure) Resurrection 5/10(meh) Avp requiem 2/10(only saving grace is a badass predator and predalien everything else is total garbage) Alien covenant 0/10 (this movie almost killed the franchise with David most likely being the creator of the aliens,killing shaw,characters being overly stupid,this movie destroyed ALOT of the mystery and mystique the franchise had because with ridley Scott he hates the idea if the alien queen so he keeps trying to insert into the lore the queen isn't relevant because David made the eggs) So because of how covenant set the franchise back and may still destroy it because now romulus director was mandated most likely to incorporate the black goo nonesense to link to prometheus(don't mind much) but covenant jus went off the rails!!!
