Alien: Romulus

Well first off, the first Alien movie was low budget and they used a man in a suit for the alien. So obviously there had to be more character building to offset the lack of showing the alien cuz it was obviously a man in a suit.
And they didn't have the money to make the face huggers scurry around and hunting like they should be doing. So all they could show was Kane sticking his head too close to an egg and a really quick shot of the face hugger attaching to his face. -

You take that back. Alien³ had Charles Dance and Brian Glover. And Aliens had Michael Biehn, an IMDb legend and personal friend of mine.

I forgot Dance, who is one of my favourite actors (he was the best thing in Game of Thrones). But he's also made a lot of crappy movies. His best perfrmance, I think, is in Bleak House (opposite Gillian Anderson).

I didn't watch GoT long enough to see his appearance, but I'm sure he was great. I agree, he's made some strange career choices. One of his most bizarre was Golden Child.

I agree Prometheus seemed to belong to a different universe from the original Alien, but it was a much better film than Romulus, which borrowed heavily (and badly) from the original and had zero acting talent.

It only borrowed the sniffing from alien3 (which made no sense because Ripley was sniffed because the alien detected that Ripley was impregnated with a queen alien) and the quote from aliens. The rest is part of the Alien lore.
It's a solid film. It's a good film. -

So in other words, you don't watch alien movies to see the alien terrorize people. You aren't interested in the lore. You watch alien movies to see famous actors?
You're not really an alien fan at all. So your opinion of the Alien movies are invalid. It's about the ****ing ALIEN. It's not about the crew members. Even Ellen Ripley took a back seat to the alien. The ALIEN is the star.
Michael Fassbender played a stupid character. That Droid didn't make any sense other than being the stereotypical evil Droid working for the company that's in all the alien movies. Noomi's character wasn't fleshed out well. What were they trying to make her character? The mother of all the aliens? None of that made any sense.
Alien Romulus makes sense. -

You are so stupid. You can't even keep up with the discussion! You're asking me?? I already said that his motivation didn't make any sense other than him being the stereotypical evil Droid created by the company.
So if I am wrong like you said, then YOU explain it since you think you know so much. Otherwise, shut the hell up. -

Your question is too vague. Ask me something specific. Ask me why he reacted a certain way to a particular event, or why he said something that he said.
Maybe the answer you're looking for is that he was made by, and programmed to serve, an inferior species that he held in contempt, so he wanted to meet their creator so he might better understand his own existence.
David is a great character with incredible depth and that's just a small part of who David was. It barely scratches the surface of his character's function in the story.
But look, let's be honest, you're not really interested in having your ignorance revealed to you and I'm only writing this to draw others into the conversation and start a stimulating multiple-opponent argument. So, I doubt you'll actually ask me anything specific and I don't really care.

Well first of all. I was never asking anything. My original posts that you replied to had rhetorical questions that I asked BOOMSHIT(go back and read them) in which you zero in on and insulted my intelligence. So now I'm challenging. Either explain David to me or shut the **** up. -

I'm not writing a thesis on David just to gain your permission to speak. I might be a timid, kindly, innocent new user, but I'm not a cuck. Stop being so mean. It's not nice.
Ask me specific questions.
