Superman not being able to recognize big eggs is one of the more bizarre things I've seen him do. I mean...he lived on a farm, you'd think his first reaction wouldn't be organic rocks or whatever.

Not using his x-ray vision, either. He would've seen the flesh and bones instantly. For tension, I suppose.

[@Jaxuhe]

I vaguely recall some theories that the xenomorphs are silicon-based life; as far as official statements go, they at least have a silicon carapace. Maaaaaybe it's easier to think the eggs aren't eggs if you see their chemical composition, as Superman sometimes can?

I love how Supes tried to reason with the Alien; pretty much anyone else would blast first and ask questions later, but it shows that Clark is so compassionate that he’d even try to peacefully subdue a living weapon like the Xenomorph.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Except Superman's attempt to communicate with a clearly dangerous creature that might as well be an animal because it wears no clothing, uses no tools, only hisses and instantly attacks is... to talk at it in English. Nevermind the language barrier, for all he knows the thing doesn't even have ears and might be deaf?

[@blingsing5383]

@@TF2CrunchyFrog makes sense in our world to assume it’s dangerous but with how insane his day to day is a xenomorph actually turning out to be a chill English speaking dude probably wouldn’t even be note worthy to him

[@undertakernumberone1]

@@TF2CrunchyFrog To be fair, sometimes the TONE of voice is more important than the language barrier, and he might just be assuming that the Xenomorph can hear. A nice example from the novel "Artemis Fowl": ‘I must warn you,’ said Butler, straight-faced. ‘I am armed and prepared to use deadly force if necessary.’ Holly would have groaned if she could. Banter! The human was trying to engage a troll in macho repartee! Then Captain Short realized her mistake. The words weren’t important, it was the tone he employed. Calm, soothing. Like a trainer with a spooked unicorn. ‘Step away from the female. Easy now.’ The troll ballooned its cheeks and howled. Scare tactics. Testing the waters. Butler didn’t flinch. ‘Yeah, yeah. Real scary. Now just back out of the door, and I won’t have to cut you into little pieces.’ The troll snorted, miffed by this reaction. Generally his roar sent whatever creature was facing it scurrying down the tunnel. ‘One step at a time. Nice and slow. Easy there, big fellow.’ You could almost see it in the troll’s eyes. A flicker of uncertainty. Maybe this human was … And that was when Butler struck. He danced under the tusks, hammering home a devastating uppercut with his medieval weapon. The troll staggered backwards, talons flailing wildly. But it was too late: Butler had stepped out of reach, scooting across to the other side of the corridor. Colfer, Eoin. Artemis Fowl (P.236-237).

This series feels like fanfiction, and I mean that as a complement. The references to then-current DC continuity, the deeper characterization, the thematic similarities without being overly referential, it feels like someone wrote out a whole Superman v. Aliens fanfiction and somehow got the green light to get it drawn and published.

[@buttssanchez6763]

This whole comic feels like really well written and considered crossover fanfiction. You can tell the writers were knowledgeable about the lore and wanted to do interesting things with it and supplied an interesting premise.

[@timemonkey]

The idea of kryptonian xenomorphs is actually super terrifying. They'd seem identical to the human born variant but would get more powerful when near a yellow star and become practically untouchable. Could be a way to make use of LexCorp's anti-Superman weaponry. Maybe the blood that dripped on Supes came from a xenomorph Kara had killed recently? She had to have already been in the area.

[@chaoticjusticezero]

Batman vs Predator is already good, but it has Alfred's finest hour. The continuity drops... are actually brilliant. If someone picked this up for the Alien side of the story, they may be enticed by the drops to check out more Superman stuff. The Lexcorp drop makes it sound more like Weyland-Yutani while the moral dilemma about killing Zod and company shows that Superman does face big ethical choices instead of just supervillains.

[@FEfan56]

Supes having the idea of “this place is delicate, i better tunnel underneath!” absolutely reeks of “corporate said we need a scene of Superman discovering a cave full of Alien eggs. But how do we do it in way that isn’t him just using X-ray Vision and ruining the surprise?

[@darkhero-3097]

I think the reason these crossovers try to be so continuity heavy may be related to how DC was doing continuity at the time. At that point, they were very focused on keeping it all very tight, to avoid confusing one timeline with another and so on. So, I imagine they would say “here’s a non-canon comic, but it still builds off of what we’ve done.”

[@StitchedupBear]

Thing is this story is actually canon. The journey to Argo was referenced during the beginning of the Electric Superman storyline in the regular comics.

[@EMbrokehp]

a kryptonian hatched xenomorph is one of the scariest concepts I've ever heard

[@BronzeBoy520]

Decided to read the first issue when Linkara said he was doing the video, three things of note 1. The book sort of implied that the Xenomorhs would gain Kryptonian powers… and they did not, which makes the book way less fun for me. 2. This was Dan Jurgens actual attempt to bring in Supergirl and hey, it’s better than whatever the hell John Byrne did. 3. Dan Jurgens may have HATED how Superman killed the pocket universe kryptonians, but he was one of the few writers to care and to progress supermans character on it, showing again why Dan Jurgens is a good writer. He took what he considered a terrible story and worked his best way to give it pathos and drama without melodrama and didn’t just retcon it or pretend it never happened. Good on Jurgens.

[@mikegates8993]

They didn't gain any powers? Lame.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Given the fact that this is superman I'm not worried that there will be super xenomorphs. Although that would be cool

[@EmperorSeth]

Oh, that would work! The chestbursters did emerge from Kryptonians, after all...

They could have him get facehugged and then have the embryo unable to burst out, forcing them to remove it surgically thus giving us a superxeno to fight.

Oh my God, next episode is a patreon-sponsored review of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney? Heck freaking YES! One of my favorite game series of all time that may have fallen by the wayside but will never be forgotten. Eager to see you give commentary, jokes and opinions on all 5 cases of the first game!

[@Volvagia1927]

I left a comment on the site that Patreon requests for games should be re-opened so long as he set a reasonable MAXIMUM length (25 hours, if I remember right), using How Long to Beat as the yardstick. Ace Attorney 1-4 are below that limit. 5 and 6 would be ineligible.

[@hitomisalazar4073]

Personally just found how the series actually got created, basically as a one man project being pushed and all, as fascinating as the games themselves.

[@chrisdiokno5600]

Great Ace Attorney was fun

[@Specsboy1999]

The question is if he is going to do just the four cases of the original game or include Rise from the Ashes in the review? Probably the latter as most versions avaliable to the US include it but I can see him choose to not cover it as it would feel tacked on as case 4 gave a satisfying conclusion (similar to his critique about the Hobbit where the battle of the five armies felt unnecessary to him) but I can see him giving it a mention along with a brief explanation of why it isn't going to be covered and maybe including brief opinions.

[@somik-i3x]

Well maybe the first 4 if he doesn't play on the trilogy.

[@Lanier2369]

That flashback with Superman killing the pocket dimension kryptonians, they did from the start that he was broken up and all that. I think that was done to show why Superman doesn't kill unless absolutely necessary and that he'll be bothered by it, but it was written a bit awkwardly.

[@RaphBlade7]

Another interesting aspect is the idea of Xenomorph's born form surviving Kryptonians could potentially gain superpowers due to exposure to Earth's yellow sun (while also possibly gaining a weakness to Kryptonite, Red Sun radiation, and magic)! An interesting concept that adds another element of danger should the Kryptonian Xenomorphs make it to Earth! Super Xenomorphs also makes Superman & Supergirl being present in the story less of an issue as they would possess similar powers possibly augmented by Xenomorph biology! Xenomorphs with the power of a Kryptonian is a scary concept & Superman's rejection of lethal force creates an interesting dilemma for how to deal with the Xenomorphs & Super Xenomorphs! Then there is the prospect of Lexcorp pulling a Weyland-Yutani and trying to acquire the Super Xenomorphs thus Superman & Supergirl have to work together to keep Lex and/or his company gain ahold of them!

Considering that Xenomorphs adopt the traits of their birth host, an extended DC Aliens series could feature critters that have burst from superheroes. Xenoflash, or Wondermorph for example. They just need to find a superpowered "patient zero" on Earth to start that.

That one shot of Superman really cracks me up. He looks like he is drunk and just got out of bed.

[@RealHyperHedgehog]

Having Batman fight creatures like the Xenomorph and the Predator makes sense, because the power scaling is more fair, and it’s interesting to see Batman face off against aliens that thrive on hunting. Having Superman fight a Xenomorph doesn’t make sense, because even the weakest version of Superman would one shot every Xenomorph.

Wow, not only is this a weird crossover between DC Superman and the Alien franchise, but this comic makes Kryptonians look like Florida Man hillbillies in 1980s Earth clothes, gives Lois Lane the most unflattering poses to stand around (at 10:20 minutes), and gives Superman an unkempt mullet and a cape that looks like a blanket draped over his shoulders.

[@PosthumanHeresy]

19:40 I think they realized this, which is why they have it all tied into Krypton in general like this. This came out before the return of Kara Zor-El in the DCU. So that's the environment it was released in: the period of time where Superman was mandated as the last Kryptonian. Given that, and the general "canon-like" vibe of the book, it feeds the viewer hope that we are finally seeing Post-Crisis Kara. Of course, part 2 destroys that and it's non-canon, but I'm not sure how clear that was at the time.

[@juhaniaho6698]

18:26 Xenomorphs inherit traits of their hosts. Which means those Kryptonian xenomorphs likely have the same solar absorption as Superman and thus, same powers (except heat vision, since, you know, no eyes). And they're headed towards Earth. And because the xenomorphs usually are fully black, they can absorb much more solar radiation. Pants to be browned for Superman Vs Aliens #2.

Just utterly humiliating it. Give me an exhausted xenomorph who, after like 30 minutes of failing to put even a dent on this wierd flying colorful humanoid, just stands there for like half a second and does the alien-equivalent of "Oh... crap!"

Although in Donner’s original version had them getting arrested and taken off to jail along w/Luther instead of just leaving Luther to freeze to death. What’s interesting is that in the Donner cut he spares the villains. But has Zod kill a preteen boy for running away, to which Ursa coldly states, “he would have just grown up to be a man.”

I hope we get to see Linkara react to Dino Fury Season 1 and 2 in History of the Power Rangers eventually.

With her saying that this isn't a "M*A*S*H* Unit", my biggest shock was she wasn't Hot Lips. 😉 Also, the 1980s Supergirl movie, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, so the moment I heard Argo City, I knew where this was going. Anyways, thank you, Linkara, enjoyed the video.

This is my favourite Superman vs. crossover. It was only topped by Superman vs Coughing Baby!

Kryptonian Xenomorphs is an absolutely terrifying idea
