The HORROR Of ALIEN

[@VampireA1056]

Only Ryan reviews a movie after doing a whole Retrospective on it's franchise.

And thats why we love him😂🎉xD

5:20 "Your body, my choice" - An inhumane nightmare horror creature

[@hab0272]

There's a parallel between the Xenomorph species and the Weyland-Yutani company: both are powerful entities that try to survive/expand in an exploitative manner without regard of collateral damage. This egoic style of survival has been advantageous and rather normal for many animals and even companies today.

[@aevvah_flxwer8550]

That's an extremely apt comparison

[@RebecaLawrence-w6e]

Ryan does do a good retrospective on movie franchises. A good review. The way he explains the xenomorph is fascinating. Talking about humans having a primal instinct. Finding out that another life form doesn't care about you. Other than what you can do for it. People can react the same way. To a shark. Look at the fear of COVID-19. What makes the alien franchise scary. Can also spark curiosity. That can lead to trouble sometimes. Great video.

In space no one can hear you scream.

[@alephthetheropod6210]

A great short essay! One thing I think these movies are missing is otherworldly sounds. Something I can't take out of my head are the sounds of the frozen alien race in dead space 3. The haunting wind instrument that gives a lovecraftian atmosphere to their ruins.

[@Otokichi786]

For a different kind of in-game horror, "Ryley Robinson" of "Subnautica" is this century's "Space Janitor, Roger Wilco.";) I wonder if/when Hollyweird will get their incompetent paws on this Unknown Worlds IP and turn it into...?

[@starkdilemma4916]

The Xenomorph was the first horror monster that made you hope that it killed you. Because in most cases it won't, it'll haul you back to it's nest and keep you alive as a feedbag or a face hugger receptacle.

[@reljasaurus]

in space no one car hear you meow

[@mriddley]

The face hugger ia the wirst part to me at least with the xenomorph i could probably spot it quicker and run and if i cant get away itll make my death quick but the face hugger it gives you that sense of hope that maybe you can get away you just need to last long enough for someone to hopefully get it out of you and boom your safe but in the end you always run out of time and that death is way worse than getting stabbed or bitten or melted with acid blood that a full grown xeno can do to you

[@sponge6197]

I find xenomorphs quite attractive.

Bruh..😂

​@@Bizzar735 we don't kink shame over here!

[@stacibulle9676]

Very good video and i love the Alien franchise my most favorite is Aliens since i love watching the marines fight the aliens i wished we got more of that Edit: and the best Aliens game in my opinion is fireteam elite

[@skycentipede74]

Cuz it’s scary.

[@blvckuno]

I like Romulus

[@jamesabernethy7896]

I watched it at the cinema and genuinely had a great time watching it. It had flaws for sure but feel that much of those flaws had been lumbered onto it from the movies it was trying to fit around.

[@hab0272]

@@blvckuno me too. I like the idea of trying to escape a familiar horrible situation just to be faced with an alien horror. (A worst-case scenario to an already risky operation) Also i particulary like the Andy character and the mystery of his altruism: Rain's needs/ the company's needs (but what about Andy's needs? Do androids have needs?)

[@georgerrtolkien801]

Ryan ratios the engineer baby from romulus, dont at me

[@aevvah_flxwer8550]

Well isn't this perfect for Christmas xDD Great review!! I've only seen the original; it's one of the most visceral and horrifying movies I've ever seen. Of course, it still holds up amazingly well too! Also, the female Apostle's full form in Berserk was clearly inspired by the Xenomorph. Which is not only disturbing but very fitting imo

[@MojaveKnight17]

If you love Alien read this manga: I Became an Evolving Space Monster

[@jamesabernethy7896]

Great little presentation on the concepts behind the franchise. I'm a massive fan of the first three, Resurrection and Romulus a middling and the rest are unnecessary for me.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

You like the 3rd movie? I really don’t like it.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

@@InfamyOrDeath-__- I get why people speak highly of Alien and Aliens, I do too. All of them have a strong cast, a great sense of style and an amazing score. I don't think 3 is weak in any of these areas. I like that Ripley is in such a hostile environment. She needs to combat the Alien but needs to gain allies before that. I love how different all 3 movies are.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

The first 2 movies are my favourite movies ever made, not a big fan of any of the movies from the last decade.

[@isaiasrach7503]

Aliens: fire team is defintly a game for you but dont start with extreme or insane :p

[@PlanetVeldt]

Dude....it's Christmas

[@eugeniovita9010]

This IS Ryan’s version of Christmas spirit!

[@PlanetVeldt]

@eugeniovita9010 I dig it

[@RealLifeRyan]

I have a Jack Frost review if that helps ⛄️
