Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Oh, just go and bring that up, why don't you?! OK, that's freaky...and a bit incestuous. You know what? Let's all just forget about ALIEN RESURRECTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,504 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 It's not incestous. Ripley has sex with the queen alien, not their 'hybrid' spawn. It's just motherly love (in its twisted, burlesque Jeunet way). As for a COVENANT sequel, that was already reported awhile back. He intends to make as many movies as it takes to connect the storyline to the first ALIEN. Perhaps he'll do that in the sequel already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know which scene you have in mind. There are scenes, like right after the birth, where she's fondling the face of the 'hybrid', but I've always seen that as motherly love of some sort. Nothing incestous, in my view. Which is why the 'hybrid's death scene is so overwhelming in its gruesomeness. Suddenly, you sympathize with the 'tragic' figure. Ripley sacrifices her spawn for the sake of humanity. Very religious and burlesque all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the 'conception' part (or alternatively the part where she's carried away to the alien queen; the film is deliberately fussy on that to retain the mystery of the actual act, as well as letting Jeunet do his "thing"). It's before the hybrid is born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,316 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I don't know why they didn't just develop Alien 5 in tandem with Alien Covenant, even use the same sets if necessary. Was it just a vanity move from Scott that only his project should proceed? He doomed both timelines in the process, because neither Alien 5 or Covenant 2/Prometheus 3 will happen now that Disney has ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evanus 217 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I think Alien 5 is a bad idea, born from pure nostalgia. Hill & Giler give me more confidence than Blomkamp, but meh. Ripley's character is done, been there done that. She had a meaningful end in Alien3, bringing her back wouldn't add anything new. I'd much rather have Ridley's prequel trilogy completed.

Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It's possible that Con Amalgamate could be related to both Weyland Yutani, and Tyrell Corp. It predated ALIEN by one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Should have let the District 9 fella do his Aliens sequel. For an absolute fact it would have been more watchable than Prometheshite. Corellian2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanus 217 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Prometheus was far from shite. Anyway, I doubt Blomkamp could deliver a good Alien film. District 9 was fun, but I'm not really impressed by what he's done since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
