“What do you make of these latest updates?”

I think I understand what Millar meant but may have articulated poorly. The movie characters may not have “secret” identities, but they do have dual identities. Millar is, I believe, asserting that DCEU puts the hero first and the human second, whereas MCU either puts the human first, or shoves the conflict between…

I’ve heard a speculation that White Diamond might be the fusion form of Pink, Yellow and Blue Diamond.

I’m really looking forward to seeing a new episodes sometime between now and when the Earth crashes into the sun.

Another great episode. Noticed lots of little details. The way Yellow activates the console may hint at a hierarchy among the diamonds pushing the colors in a certain order. Also Yellow Diamond had data on that green alien, that rolls around like Amethyst and Jasper. I do think that Rose shattered Pink, and Yellow let…

SPOILERS. FOR REAL.

Oh man...I saw Prometheus with some tenuous nerd love, thinking “OK, Ridley Scott isn’t a moron...he’s clearly a skilled craftsman, if a bit holllow, this can work!” And then...ridiculously dumb scientists, monsters that are mostly not scary, and faux-”strong” characters.

Then came Covenant, which…

And again, it doesn’t matter how the alien got on the ship. What matters is that the alien got on the ship. Corporate greed and indifference to human life in the name of profit is indeed one of the films subtext, but it’s certainly not the only one, and arguably not even the most important. And that’s part of the…

I agree with your overall point, though I’d zoom out a bit further and say that the movie is about how inconsequential and meaningless humanity is in the face of a vast uncaring cosmos that’s vaster than all of us. The alien on board the Nostromo isn’t killing the crew because killing is its purpose of pleasure, it’s…

I’ve lost interest in this franchise because I don’t give a damn about the story Scott wants to tell with these prequels. The story of David and the origins of humanity and what it means to play God has ruined the simple elegance of Alien.

Amen. To say that the “problem” with Prometheus was that it didn’t have an alien in it is like saying that the problem with the Star Wars prequels is that it had Jar-Jar in it. Prometheus was leaden, a dull narrative filled with stupid characters doing stupid things, and an overlay of pseudo-religious nonsense that…

Because this.

I liked hellboy the movie, until I read the comics.

Thanks.

Great spoiler warning there. Really gave a lot of warning to what was coming. Thanks.

sigh

SPOILER

You’re an Asshole.

It’s helpful to state what you’re spoiling when you place a spoiler warning. That’s so that people don’t mistakenly think that it’s a spoiler for the movie that’s currently being discussed (Alien), which they may have already seen many, many times, instead of some random movie (Life) which they may plan on seeing very…

Thanks for ruining that. Maybe next time add a couple more blank lines and, I don’t know, a note that the spoiler is to an unrelated film.

Needs more Hazel in Watership Down.
