    Watched episode 1, not impressed with the story & plot so far. I might watch more of it later but I'm in no hurry. I would much rather finish up Wednesday, The Bear, King of the Hill and Strange New Worlds. For me there is only ALIEN & ALIENS, both masterpieces in their own ways, just like there is only The Terminator & T2.

    I am watching the 2nd season of Aharen-san is indecipherable, I am enjoying it. Again My Dress Up darling was great yesterday.

    DAN DA DAN S2: this show is hit or miss with me. I want to like it more than I do. Clevatess S1: not caught up with this quite yet, but I am digging it so far. Gachiakatu S1: don't love the character designs, but Bones and Katsuyuki Konishi got me to check it out. Interesting so far. Kaiju No.8 S2: another show I want to like more than I do. I kinda want it to be more ridiculous than it is.

    Honestly, I'd even skip Aliens. It was a pretty good or even great action movie but it was a pretty miserable follow-up to the excellent horror movie that was the original Alien. IMO, the only writing team thus far to actually understand the assignment when it came to writing an Alien sequel was Dan Abnett, Dion Lay, and Will Porter. What they understood that James Cameron and every other writer working on sequels failed to grasp is that what makes the Xenomorph work as a horror movie monster is the paranoia it evokes. Like the shark in Jaws, what makes the Xenomorph in Alien scary is NOT being able to see it. They know it's out there. They know it's hunting them. They know that It Can Think. But they don't know where it is until it's too late and the monster is ready to strike. Having the audience know where the monster is because it's constantly mugging for the camera robs it of most of its ability to scare. Combine that with being able to Just Shoot It and the threat it represents is diminished all the way to the level of "just a dangerous animal" like a tiger or bear that escaped from the zoo. Can you honestly say the Xenomorph's scariness and ability to intimidate didn't take another gigantic L when we saw a single guy tase it unconscious and bag it like a ten point buck in deer season? Throw Expanded Universe material into the works and pretty much anything is on the table due to wildly inconsistent presentation over decades of material of varying quality.

    It's alright. The cheaper price is worth it for me. I haven't shipped my Roller's Stash anyway.

    This is one of those franchise's where the cannon keeps on reinventing itself with each release.

    Thanks so much. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Hahaha. 🪄

    I do think they were better shown as hunting from the shadows, but reflecting on the second movie, they didn’t seem to shy away from frontal attacks. I don’t know if different types are really canon or not anymore or at all, but but I think the original type stayed hidden, while in the sequel it was a warrior type that fought without regard to personal safety. But that may or may not be an actual thing. Alien has shifting rules

    You definitely did an awesome job with that old Imai kit. The paint job makes it look so modern despite its age.

    @jenius Delivering the goods!!

    Nice! Jaws reference 4tw. I felt similar when I finally found a manual for my copy of MUSHA after all this time.

    @Big s @pengbuzz @Thom Thanks. It’s rather clunky and almost no articulation as expected, but a nice addition and first Mospeada kit for me. It gave me lots of opportunities to deal with seams, seams and more seams. Also only had 2 decals fail and fall to pieces when moving them. Not too bad. I want to shift gears and do a more modern build next. I need to get this VE-1 going. The test fit was great and excited to see it come together. Going to try and find a stand for it too. One more pic with better light.

    Cool! At least you get one and Mandarake checks if the content is ok anyway! I'm sure you'll like the Mech!

    They are slow. My Vega shipped from BBTS weeks ago.

    Dang, great actor. Will be missed.

    Well said, I'm in this mindset. I've got a host of the old comic books, novels, games, etc... I think some of these Xenos are behaving precisely as shown and described. It's been fun and stupid at times, but mostly fun.

    I've always seen them as the first untameble beast that doesn't get tired and hungry, and will never stop which man has encountered. And that's part of their dark appeal as all other natural threats to man we've managed to tame or fence...

    If you are interested in a free replacement repro, send me a PM with your info as a reminder. I’ll print you a new one as soon as my legioss arrives - next month, I believe.

    ya know, I read a lot of the novels, and the behavior of this particular xenomorph isn't surprising at all. it's interesting to see it on screen now, but they're brutal creatures and it's not just all about creating a hive and all that. They sometimes just wanna kill viciously and then reproduce afterwards. Infact I think in some of the old comic books they could completely rip apart a host, then somehow keep them alive just long enough to infect them with the facehugger.
