Alien: Covenant already looks to have all of Prometheus’ problems. Why are all these scientist/explorers going into the unknown without protective suits? The trailer shows that they get infected by something bad through their unprotected ears and then cuts to people saying “we have no idea what’s out there.” Stupid.

Because the air is breathable? Why would you need a protective suit if you can breathe the air? It’s not like there could be untraceable alien toxins! Wait…

Maybe because no one survived the Prometheus mission, so they couldn’t phone home and say “People should probably keep their suits on, just so you know.” People who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

But seriously, I’m still not sold on AC. That teaser poster got me excited, but the trailer makes it look like a mashup of Prometheus and Alien and do we really need that?

I like Prometheus, and I liked Agent9’s fanedit of it.

Maybe I need to see this edit, because sweet lord, I did not like it. But then watching the edit would require me to buy it. Oh noooooo

so he hopped on a very high horse and rode it around for a bit.

That’s an asshole.

Frink, you see, when you are surrounded by uncivil and unmannered people who throw petty insults at you, you do not need to hop on a high horse. You are already on a high horse compared to them just by being civil.

Ugh, man. I watched it for the first time a couple nights ago and it was just awful. It was interesting and decent in parts, but I have never seen a collection of dumber characters walk right into their own deaths willingly than I did when I watched Prometheus. What kind of scientist takes off a hazard suit just because you can breathe the air?! What kind of scientist goes tromping around touching and contaminating and affecting the environment? The one guy is like “whoa let’s not touch these dead guys, but I will try to touch this huge crazy worm!” Or “Oh hey I don’t wanna be friends, but later we’ll be okay with each other. Also where did your accent go the rest of the movie?”

Ugh. I could go on and on. Everyone was just so rock dumb. Except Idris near the end.

Alien: Covenant just looks like an updated version of the original Alien, with some Prometheus thrown in to ensure it doesn’t get too good.

A most disgusting troll has appeared in the “Star Wars Pics and Gifs thread” and I get the feeling we may have quite a day of his antics and his likely inevitable socks’ antics ahead of us. For now, I reccomend everyone stay out of that thread, especially Frink, if it’s not too late.

EDIT: Seems to have been taken care of, for now.

I guess he just wants to be offended. He is probably addicted to being offended.

Besides, when your question includes “WTF” you should not be surprised when the answer includes “FO”.

This seems a bit inappropriate as a follow-up post to someone saying they lost their father this year.

It could be taken that way, but was not meant to be hurtful and unfeeling.

Mind telling me exactly wtf it was meant to be then? What was the point in posting this?

He didn’t.

LIE!

You are such a stereotypical trouble maker! I gave you an accurate one word answer and you just chose not to like it! Now with that said, FUCK OFF!
