alien romulus was pretty good but the fanservice was fucking CRINGE. mcu-tier nonsense. why do they think any of that was a good idea

@rosey as someone who hasn't seen any alien movie ever, i didn't notice it lol. i still thought the movie was just pretty average, though. pretty standard faire for a horror movie where everyone makes weird/stupid decisions in order to push the plot forward. it's not really scary, it doesn't have enough action to be cool, and the story was decent but not particularly compelling. there are so many movies i'd rather watch, even in the same genre.

@beardalaxy @rosey i've heard this might be the case, if you ever watch the other alien movies and then rewatch romulus you'll see a lot of romulus is a mishmash of things done in the other movies, which makes me think the studio wanted this to be a way of introducing people with no experience of Alien into the Alien universe by copying the memorable moments of all the other films into one

@eidolon @beardalaxy @rosey copying the fear without innovating upon the fear.

@andreas @eidolon @rosey until the VERY END but then it's too late
