Same here. It wasn't just that it was great to have another Alien movie, but the fact that it had genuinely disturbing scenes. I think it was really well done.
SAME. The whole time during the movie I was actually happy to see the Xenos and not much was truly scary. Then this unnatural FREAK appears… I was not ready lol that was pure nightmare fuel
I’m not. I think Ridley Scott destroyed the entire franchise, although it started with Resurrection, when they started playing with human hybrid mutations. When we saw alien and aliens the premise was of a unique non indigenous specimen, an “alien”, and that story has been switched into some man made/android made DNA engineered species with its various weird and whacky creature spin offs that started with Prometheus. I understand continually writing about the alien species in its original form, and exploring a more meaningful, inspiring and supernatural origin was far too challenging for writers, and the risk was too high for it to flop because no one in my opinion has ever been able to make an inspiring deep space movie. I ultimately blame Ridley though, resurrection could have been one and done, but his egotistic control over the franchise and taking it to weird and completely uninspiring places has completely ruined the story to the extent true fans still try and decatch alien and aliens from every other movie made since. He didn’t even write the first alien, yet because he directed it he then assumed creative and full control after resurrection (a horrible movie for the franchise which probably gave him the uninspiring genetic mutation ideas). He also blocked Blomkamps prospective Alien 5 movie which may (or may not) have been a franchise saver. As for this one, it was taken back to places it should have always remained, until they went down the mutation road again. No movie will ever be mainstream like alien and aliens was when you drop a hideous mutated human into the flick like this one did.

I mean for god sakes, it’s literally biomechanical… that means it was made and that’s the most logical reasoning for why the xenomorph can survive such crazy shit like surviving in space.

@@ENDWOKEDEGENERACYwell, this movie has made alot of $ in box office for an r rated horror film and has received favorable reviews for the most part, so in a sense it is mainstream despite what you say. Alien was about a crew trying to survive one xenomorph. Aliens is marines vs hive of xenomorphs. Alien 3 is basically Alien 1 but worse. Do you really want them to just repeat facehuggers and xenomorphs as the only antagonists the whole time for all entries in the franchise, and same concepts and plot structures? Prometheus at least tried something different and gave us new aliens and this is a continuation of that.
Humans came from the engineers as we saw in Prometheus. The xenomorph dna was most likely used by the engineers to speed up their own evolution. Weyland-Yutani was planning to do the same thing with humans in Romulus. The engineers wanted humans to evolve as well but changed their mind when they saw how flawed we were. We were not worthy. So they planned to destroy us instead.
You've got a lot of that wrong. The xenomorphs were something that came significantly after the engineers had reached their peak genetically engineered state. If you read some of the story notes for prometheus, basically the engineers had overcome death and could live tens of thousands of years. Philosophically, the xenomorph is their antithesis. Where engineers are super intelligent and long-lived, xenomorphs have a bare instinct level intelligence and perceive nothing more than their instincts and what is in their environment and their personal interests. Engineers planned for thousands of years to reach their desired engineered state, xenomorphs live in the moment at all times with no history and no future. Cognitively engineers and xenos are polar opposites. The story of the engineers of prometheus was a story of existential horror, it was never a question of "worthniess" of humans, they were used as a stepping stone to CREATE the xenomorphs. That's the entirety of what the story of prometheus was trying to say. I swear that whole movie was an intelligence test. Humans were perceived as "proto-engineers" by their creators and the engineers long ago had decided that they were growing tired of their state of existence and started committing ritual suicide out of an essential lack of existential boredom or "ennui". Another clue, the xenomorph can be seen in prometheus in that frieze within the facility, it was a monument to what they truly admired. It's not a matter of worthiness with the humans, they were perceived as destined to reach the same end that the engineers had and the engineers were so far into their evolution that they decided that the xenomorph in their corrupt minds was a better form of existence. They didn't need xenomorphs or the black goo to kill off humans, humans could have lived for thousands more years and it would have never affected the engineers. The only reason why the engineers would get rid of the humans is for the same reason why a researcher would kill a research animal after a study was done. Humans were implicitly used in combination with some variant of the black goo to create the deacon, as shown in the movie, by combining a human ova with the black goo creating the proto face hugger and combining it with an engineer. It was in fact the other way around, engineers did not use xenomorphs to evolve, engineers used themselves combined with humans to create the xenomorph life cycle. Why people don't seem to understand this when it's shown in the goddamned movie is beyond me.
Actually, I think my theory is more terrifying: humans and xeno were "created" in the same exact way. But "evolved" differently due to the respected planetary environment for their experiments. The engineers simply thought the latter was more worthy and that every planet should have some variant of their most prized creation. Thus, the black goo.
@@mkno2799 No, the movie prometheus was an allegory for how the xenomorph was created. It required human beings and the genes of engineers, the frieze with the xenomorph in the facility on that engineer planet proves that xenomorphs existed at the time of that facility's creation meaning xenos had existed for a long time, and likely more than anything humans were little more than a genetic step-stool to create the xeno.

Actual explanation: The black goo's mechanism of mutation is as follows; when it comes in contact with organic life, it first detects for genetic defects and imperfections and corrects them, so as to make the host as viable as possible and/or so that the host gives as many positive genetic traits as possible to any xeno-embryos after it corrects all the mistakes and imperfections it begins rapidly mutating the host dna into whatever given form regularly, the black goo infects some type of bioemgineered ovum, which is impregnated with a parasitic microbe that combines with host dna and collects and grows into a xeno. but here, the black goo infected her reproductive system, the human ovum, if you will. Her mutated ovum 'corrected' her unborn fetus' dna and combined the parasitic microbe with her unborn fetus. The first causing the engineer mutations we see, the later, the xenomorph mutations
These are recessive genetics that are locked into human DNA. The engineers seeded earth, and brought about life on this planet. The black goo is an amalgamation of the original xeno species and the engineers known as the jockeys, a radical colonizing faction of the engineers species that have been genetically enhanced to survive deep space travel. These jockeys found a xeno on one of their many conquests and worshipped it as a god. It's known as the Deacon. You can see reliefs and murals of it in their juggernaut ships. Regardless, this amalgamation seeded earth, and humanity evolved from it.

Sorry my friend but I think you're being too literal. We know without a doubt that human and engineer DNA aren't an exact 1 to one because that would make us Engineers. Clearly the species are different. The engineers used their DNA with the black goo to seed life on Earth and we came from it. That's why the DNA is similar but we are absolutely not the same.
@@CapnKrunk123 technically we are engineers just not fully evolved yet. The Alien DNA was supposed to speed up our evolution of eventually becoming like the engineers.

@@StitchRizz90 Lol sorry but I think you made this up, you got any source of information? Did Ridley Scott say this? If no, please say that it's your interpretation before you comment.
*I liked the movie too.* *But the video has several things wrong - and the Pathogen doesn't work like that.* *The Newborn shouldn't look like an Engineer - the Pathogen merely rewrites a hosts DNA - which is why Shaw's fetus in Prometheus came out as a Trilobite.* *It makes no sense lore-wise why the Offspring would look like an Engineer - the video was wrong when it said the Engineers lace the Pathogen with their own DNA - they don't.* *It seems like that's what the Human scientists on the Romulus did, when they procured the Pathogen and some blood from a dead Engineer.* *But even mixing that DNA with the Pathogen would not produce a creature that looked like an Engineer - even when Facehuggers create Xenomorphs from Human DNA, the resulting Xenomorphs never look like a Human.*
I really liked the little detail at the beginning, when the title of the film first appeared in full, and then the sticks gradually fell off. Although in the first films, the sticks first appeared one by one, and only then the full inscription appeared.
The offspring creeped me out more than most things I’ve seen in horror in a long time. So uncanny and unsettling - Engineers were always very creepy, and of course the biology of the original Xenomorph is terrifying, but the combination of the two and the uncanny “presence” it has was really, really effective horror! Also loved finding out they used a real person in a practical suit. Incredible work!
@@g0d182same I just knew they were gonna throw us one last appearance … but the visuals were excellent and so it was still a nice payoff.. even if we expected it
I thought the implication was that engineers ran out of females for some reason, they're all males, they broke down their dna trying to create a procreation compatible species (such as humans) that will naturally evolve males and females, then the engineers use the black goo on pregnant human females to accelerate the evolution of the fetus and birth an engineer, maybe this is what the "perfected" on "Paradise" are, but obviously the example in Romulus is a case of.. close but not quite right, to say the least lol, as it comes out with a pretty messed up body, but you notice the engineers in Prometheus have xeno features, their armor/suit is actually part of their body if you look close at their wrists, so it's possible that it turns out ideal (from their perspective), and this fits with the engineers being inspired by the biblical nephilim story, created by the "sons of god" procreating with the "daughters of men" and producing unhinged giants as offspring, obviously not this exact story but you can see the inspirational influence
@@harveyskittles It seems to suggest that it's because it was millennia ago and he was perhaps a more "natural" engineer, his dna used to seed the human species on earth, while the engineers encountered by Shaw and crew were ones unnaturally birthed from pregnant human women subjected to the black goo, the cave drawings tell the audience that the engineers returned to earth at least once if not multiple times to see humanity, so they very likely took some pregnant human women with them, if the mythology parallel is fully followed through
@@lindzs7619 He was a soldier wearing a bio suit that can block future bullets. Thats why it looked like Xenomorph. Naked engineers look exactly like the one at the opening of Prometheus.
I want to see a brawl between the offspring, the newborn, Ash, alien queen, trilopod, predator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a engineer, and Dillon trappex in a elevator together
Bro, that is what I imagine a freaking skin walker to look like. I was honestly so creeped out at the movie theater I almost cried. I cant even explain how it makes me feel
tbh i wasn’t sure if they were gonna bring in prometheus/covenant lore into romulus, but fede, the crazy bastard, actually went there and now we have this thing that i can’t unsee
They’re all good but Prom could have been an epic while Cov was a fan-based Ridley copout and should have been all about the engineers. Rom was refreshing.
I'm happy for the guy that got this role simply because he was insanely tall and didn't really have to do much to qualify other than that. Easy pay day.
Engineers have 0 Aura. The first time one is on screen, he dies embarrassingly. When the main characters first see engineers, the engineers are running away from something and one gets DECAPITATED BY A DOOR. Those handsome Squidward looking aliens do nothing but die.
Then in Prometheus the last engineer goes on a roid rage going "human fucking shits!" and when he finally has the main girl in his hands he does typical super strong villain "im just gonna throw her". Then he gets mouth violated 😂🤡
Btw these kind of xenomorph was mentioned in one of the Alien books. And they originated from one of those U-shaped spaceship indicating they were incubated in the Engineers. One concept the books express is that the Xenomorphs can incubate in any living creature, and they must use that DNA in order to form. Essentially in the books xenomorphs can be rat like or alien deer like. I think the franchise is putting that concept in the movies. Essentially the hybrid Engineer Xenomorph is introducing a concept that I suspect will be in the Alien: Earth TV series. Another thing hinted in the Movie but is a common theme in the books is the Engineers are using the black goo to kill off humans. I suspect this concept might be introduced in the series. And it’s not really a new movie concept because the Xenomorphs of Prometheus and Covenant indicate variations that can occur. Anyway the Alien cinematic universe is going to get more interesting. The series has so much to pick from and more it can add to the franchise!
The engieers on the space ship in Prometheus are already an amalgum of xenomorph and engineer. If you look at their dark eyes and armor the engineer army division is actually trying to be more like the xenomorphs. This is reinforced in alien resurrection, when Ripley's clone is actually a mix of xenomorph and human and she has dark eyes. The black goo is made is a derivative of the gold goo in Prometheus, and the gold goo is a derivative of the of the xenomorph gods the engineers worship. The offspring is probably adjacent to the military engineer in the evolutionary chain.
Correct the Engineers are a bio genetically modified version of their species.. They're built for space travel and warfare! Their consider the soldiers for their planet , & that's why in Covenant when David arrived on the ship the non-modified engineers were smiling until they suddenly noticed something was completely wrong.
The black goo doesn’t need anything more than a host to morph into viable life. The interruption of the face hugger process may have also led to the more human like birth that occurred because the android stated they had been working on modifications so it was be able to evolve humans so they could survive in space beyond the things that had been killing the colonies. David’s version of the xenomorphs are the more violent versions that make hives. The face hugger’s on this vessel may have been modified to focus on the more human aspects but it’s not clear if that was the desired result or a work in progress still.
Humans are also related to the engineers. Being that the baby was a human infected with zeno DNA, it makes sense that latent features could have been invoked.
For anyone saying he’s small for an engineer you’re right he had been born 5 minutes before this if we saw a fully healthy hybrid in Romulus no one wins that thing was sentient I freaked out watching this and I knew it was coming
Black Goo is synthezised directly from the Deacon's blood, I find it pretty weird that the Offspring looked too much like an Engineer. I belive this was just a self-satisfying decision made by Ridley Scott
The black goo breaks down and builds anew, the engineers are ancient beings and humans derived from them, and the black goo in theory could have done that to the baby mixing it with more alien xenomorph stuff, it’s crazy to think this is probably what the engineers probably more than likely wanted
The black goo that made humans is Deacon blood, the black goo in Prometheus is a nano tech variant designed as a weapon and exhibits characteristics of the deacon blood. The black goo that made the offspring was a human made hot housed version that was an attempt to make colonists hardier miners and better employees in harsh conditions, it was made using the body of the big chap when they found him cocooned in the debris of the Nostromo.
This was a good movie the space station who ever thought of that? I wonder why nobody recreated the first Alien. Because it happens in pace. I was so happy just to see a head hugher, then the zero G acid scene brilliant. But the big boy at the end was icing on the cake. That mf'r grew in seconds to full adult.
The engineer is wearing a suit for traveling at light speed across the universe the offspring isn't if he was suited up they would almost look identical minus the tail
@Who-Uhm-Cares Immortality has multiple forms. In Greek mythology Immortality was exactly that, Cronus ate Zeus and the other major gods as children and they survived in his stomach, and in some versions after the whole uprising when the gods defeated the Titans, Zeus had Cronus chopped into pieces and thrown into Tartarus forever, where he continued to live as bits and pieces. Hell, in Egyptian mythology even immortality is much the same, there's the whole story of Set "killing" his brother Osiris and chopping him into multiple pieces and scattered throughout the desert, and if these pieces were brought back together Osiris would be just fine. Invincibility is a different thing and has more to do with being indestructible/unable to be defeated than with their lifeforce.
When I saw the Offspring, for the first time in a long time, I covered my eyes & then I went to go cover my Man’s eyes because hat’s not an Alien Hybrid, that’s more like SCP-096. If you know, you know 😱
Black Goo is the deacon blood in Prometheus. If you look at that picture of the deacon being worship by the engineers. They looks at it as god. It was the creator .
I am also glad I watched this movie without spoilers. When my dad was telling me this thoughts he said one specific xenomorph and I was confused and interested. When I saw the original xenomorph I thought that was what he meant……..I was wrong lol
They answered that question in the movie…. He said what they did and we know how the Aliens were made. They pretty much injected engineer dna inside her
My crack theory is that black goo Weyland-Yutani's been playing with is a defective batch that the Engineers were going to throw out. We think it's amazing when it's really just trash
Hear me out…The DNA from the engineer head found by the crew of Prometheus was linked to human DNA. The pathogen could be a result of trying and failing to recreate the life force (golden goo) they used to create life on earth in the first scene of Prometheus. The version of offspring in Romulus resembles the Engineers, so is it possible that they are descendants of humans who have tried to do the same before them and not the other way around? Since the way she was implanted was way different, maybe the engineers were created by someone else, using humans as incubators or something. I have no idea what I’m talking about 🤣

*The Newborn shouldn't look like an Engineer - the Pathogen merely rewrites a hosts DNA - which is why Shaw's fetus in Prometheus came out as a Trilobite.*
*It makes no sense lore-wise why the Offspring would look like an Engineer - the video was wrong when it said the Engineers lace the Pathogen with their own DNA - they don't.*
*It seems like that's what the Human scientists on the Romulus did, when they procured the Pathogen and some blood from a dead Engineer.*
*But even mixing that DNA with the Pathogen would not produce a creature that looked like an Engineer - even when Facehuggers create Xenomorphs from Human DNA, the resulting Xenomorphs never look like a Human.*
@@Percival-kl9yy The scientists altered the goo. But weren't able to control the effects of it.
I really liked the little detail at the beginning, when the title of the film first appeared in full, and then the sticks gradually fell off. Although in the first films, the sticks first appeared one by one, and only then the full inscription appeared.
The offspring creeped me out more than most things I’ve seen in horror in a long time. So uncanny and unsettling - Engineers were always very creepy, and of course the biology of the original Xenomorph is terrifying, but the combination of the two and the uncanny “presence” it has was really, really effective horror! Also loved finding out they used a real person in a practical suit. Incredible work!
The jump scare at the end got me cause I really thought it died
I was waiting for it to make its last appearance,
@@g0d182 in the Alien movies, they ALWAYS come back. ALWAYS
@@g0d182same I just knew they were gonna throw us one last appearance … but the visuals were excellent and so it was still a nice payoff.. even if we expected it
I thought the implication was that engineers ran out of females for some reason, they're all males, they broke down their dna trying to create a procreation compatible species (such as humans) that will naturally evolve males and females, then the engineers use the black goo on pregnant human females to accelerate the evolution of the fetus and birth an engineer, maybe this is what the "perfected" on "Paradise" are, but obviously the example in Romulus is a case of.. close but not quite right, to say the least lol, as it comes out with a pretty messed up body, but you notice the engineers in Prometheus have xeno features, their armor/suit is actually part of their body if you look close at their wrists, so it's possible that it turns out ideal (from their perspective), and this fits with the engineers being inspired by the biblical nephilim story, created by the "sons of god" procreating with the "daughters of men" and producing unhinged giants as offspring, obviously not this exact story but you can see the inspirational influence
What about the start of Prometheus the engineer dude has human torso and muscles not zeno features
@@harveyskittles It seems to suggest that it's because it was millennia ago and he was perhaps a more "natural" engineer, his dna used to seed the human species on earth, while the engineers encountered by Shaw and crew were ones unnaturally birthed from pregnant human women subjected to the black goo, the cave drawings tell the audience that the engineers returned to earth at least once if not multiple times to see humanity, so they very likely took some pregnant human women with them, if the mythology parallel is fully followed through
@@lindzs7619 He was a soldier wearing a bio suit that can block future bullets. Thats why it looked like Xenomorph. Naked engineers look exactly like the one at the opening of Prometheus.
The engineer is a fucking unit
I want to see a brawl between the offspring, the newborn, Ash, alien queen, trilopod, predator, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, a engineer, and Dillon trappex in a elevator together
Dillion is the goat never forget the name and Mac
Not even the terminator just Arnold 😂
@@michelleespino9814 Terminator is too OP, so they slightly nerf with just Arnold
Throw Riddick in there too.
Ash would win hands down 😋
The Engineer looks like Handsome Squidward
Bro, that is what I imagine a freaking skin walker to look like. I was honestly so creeped out at the movie theater I almost cried. I cant even explain how it makes me feel
tbh i wasn’t sure if they were gonna bring in prometheus/covenant lore into romulus, but fede, the crazy bastard, actually went there and now we have this thing that i can’t unsee
I think i need an Engineer
Movie to explain everything.
That’s is what Covenant should have been imo.
The funniest looking Alien i've seen lol I thought he was gonna shout at them "Hey you guys!!!" lol
For me the offspring looked like Mark Zuckerberg 😂😂😂😂
after Ozempic
R.I.P. to those who watched alien romulus but havent watched prometheus and covenant
Why? Covenant was trash
@@SneezyWheezy-dv6yuI've enjoyed every Alien movie from the franchise. Y'all be trippin'
@RealBradMiller so have i😊
They’re all good but Prom could have been an epic while Cov was a fan-based Ridley copout and should have been all about the engineers. Rom was refreshing.
@@daverudd-zt3ob Covenant was sadly ruined by investors and the studio.
the offspring was absolutely terrifying to look at imo. id probably be more scared of seeing it over a xenomorph lol
I was truly terrified when i first saw this thing pop up. Made my skin crawll and gave me chills
Got chills then laughed when that thing appeared on screen 😂 when something is so creepy all you can do is laugh
It wasnt done in a cheesy way, proud to say the horror vibe stayed consistent. 🙏🔥🍿
I hope they do something with the Deacon because they should explore that road more
I enjoyed it. Felt like a perfect cross between the old ones and the new. He was truly a unique sight
Offspring was creepy, but it had a funny face. Like it wanted to burst out laughing 😂
At one point I thought it was laughing like Patrick in spongebob. 😂
The deepest voice of any engineer as well 😂
Such a great connective strand to Prometheus.
I really hope we get to see the engineers on the big screen again.
Me too I like them😮
When it smiled for that 2 second shot was what got me the the most
Gotta say that engineer xenomorph was scary as hell
The actor is really that tall 7’ 7”
I'm happy for the guy that got this role simply because he was insanely tall and didn't really have to do much to qualify other than that. Easy pay day.
when the offspring came on screen, everyone in the theatre audibly gasped. it was disturbing, freaky and cool all at once.
Alien 👽 franchise is sick haha 😆 keep it going ❤
My boy got his looks reverse engineered 👽
I dont think so... but more important: what an awesome movie man!
It's because from an early age, the baby wanted to be an engineer 😆😋
Engineers have 0 Aura. The first time one is on screen, he dies embarrassingly. When the main characters first see engineers, the engineers are running away from something and one gets DECAPITATED BY A DOOR. Those handsome Squidward looking aliens do nothing but die.
One can say the same to almost any humans who came in contact to any aliens...Engineer or Xeno. Your point being? Logically pointless that is.
And their offspring aura also sucks lol
Then in Prometheus the last engineer goes on a roid rage going "human fucking shits!" and when he finally has the main girl in his hands he does typical super strong villain "im just gonna throw her". Then he gets mouth violated 😂🤡
🤣😭😭🤣🤣🤣‼️
I legit screamed when I first saw it like dude
Close enough, welcome back Orphan of Kos.
Btw these kind of xenomorph was mentioned in one of the Alien books. And they originated from one of those U-shaped spaceship indicating they were incubated in the Engineers. One concept the books express is that the Xenomorphs can incubate in any living creature, and they must use that DNA in order to form. Essentially in the books xenomorphs can be rat like or alien deer like. I think the franchise is putting that concept in the movies. Essentially the hybrid Engineer Xenomorph is introducing a concept that I suspect will be in the Alien: Earth TV series. Another thing hinted in the Movie but is a common theme in the books is the Engineers are using the black goo to kill off humans. I suspect this concept might be introduced in the series. And it’s not really a new movie concept because the Xenomorphs of Prometheus and Covenant indicate variations that can occur. Anyway the Alien cinematic universe is going to get more interesting. The series has so much to pick from and more it can add to the franchise!
That scared me more than the alien itself.
They should have played the song “the kids aren’t alright” when “the offspring” appeared ahahaha
That writing you see is exactly the same writing on craft I have seen since a kid
Immediately when I saw this I thought of the alien from Men in Black 2 smoking and sorting mail😅
The engieers on the space ship in Prometheus are already an amalgum of xenomorph and engineer. If you look at their dark eyes and armor the engineer army division is actually trying to be more like the xenomorphs. This is reinforced in alien resurrection, when Ripley's clone is actually a mix of xenomorph and human and she has dark eyes. The black goo is made is a derivative of the gold goo in Prometheus, and the gold goo is a derivative of the of the xenomorph gods the engineers worship. The offspring is probably adjacent to the military engineer in the evolutionary chain.
Correct the Engineers are a bio genetically modified version of their species.. They're built for space travel and warfare! Their consider the soldiers for their planet , & that's why in Covenant when David arrived on the ship the non-modified engineers were smiling until they suddenly noticed something was completely wrong.
The black goo doesn’t need anything more than a host to morph into viable life. The interruption of the face hugger process may have also led to the more human like birth that occurred because the android stated they had been working on modifications so it was be able to evolve humans so they could survive in space beyond the things that had been killing the colonies.
David’s version of the xenomorphs are the more violent versions that make hives. The face hugger’s on this vessel may have been modified to focus on the more human aspects but it’s not clear if that was the desired result or a work in progress still.
Alien: Slenderman
Basically if slender man and an engineer and a xenomorph had a baby lol but it is still very disturbing lol
humans 10 years after thr vaccine
😂
True lol.
@@damerabbitLmao, you people are unhinged
Humans are also related to the engineers. Being that the baby was a human infected with zeno DNA, it makes sense that latent features could have been invoked.
I was on mushrooms when I went to see this movie, this thing legitimately made my skin crawl
I first thought the Offspring was going to be an engineer.
i imagine a fight between this Romulus offspring vs offspring from Resurrection with Ripley's dna 😮😂
I actually liked romulus it had good pace which I think makes a good thriller
For anyone saying he’s small for an engineer you’re right he had been born 5 minutes before this if we saw a fully healthy hybrid in Romulus no one wins that thing was sentient I freaked out watching this and I knew it was coming
the genetic link to the engineers is the human not the goo as they seeded earth with life,
the goo is a weaponise evolution accelerant.
This was a crazy ending !
You might disagree with me. But on my opinion the less they used CGI for the creature, the more terrifying it'd become.
All I know is you gotta keep ‘em separated.
H.R Giger would be so proud of this
You he would have loved the breastfeeding
Bro is that one scary tall basketball player that i forgot the name
Does the offspring act like a queen will it make eggs and face huggers or would it be different
Invite the offspring over for dinner and let’s find out
@@rsoul9158 Oh good God 😂
No.
They tryna cover up how new basketball players are grown each year?
That's Lord Voldemort 😂
That was some resident evil sh*t
I watched the entire movie in the theatre through my fingertips. Anyone else? The only movie I've ever paid to watch twice in the theatre.
I love this shit🤓🤤 Can’t wait for more alien stuff
Black Goo is synthezised directly from the Deacon's blood, I find it pretty weird that the Offspring looked too much like an Engineer. I belive this was just a self-satisfying decision made by Ridley Scott
Ridley Scott needs to make a DEAD SPACE movie!!
The black goo breaks down and builds anew, the engineers are ancient beings and humans derived from them, and the black goo in theory could have done that to the baby mixing it with more alien xenomorph stuff, it’s crazy to think this is probably what the engineers probably more than likely wanted
The black goo that made humans is Deacon blood, the black goo in Prometheus is a nano tech variant designed as a weapon and exhibits characteristics of the deacon blood. The black goo that made the offspring was a human made hot housed version that was an attempt to make colonists hardier miners and better employees in harsh conditions, it was made using the body of the big chap when they found him cocooned in the debris of the Nostromo.
Black gooooooo gaga goo goo
This was a good movie the space station who ever thought of that? I wonder why nobody recreated the first Alien. Because it happens in pace. I was so happy just to see a head hugher, then the zero G acid scene brilliant. But the big boy at the end was icing on the cake. That mf'r grew in seconds to full adult.
The engineer is wearing a suit for traveling at light speed across the universe the offspring isn't if he was suited up they would almost look identical minus the tail
Engineer vs predator
Definitely not evolution. More like mutated devolution. Engeneers are super smart immortal beings. Offspring is just a freak of mutation.
If you can get killed you're not immortal
@@niraxlevi9930Immortal does not mean Invincible. It means you can potentially live forever if you’re not killed
@Who-Uhm-Cares Immortality has multiple forms. In Greek mythology Immortality was exactly that, Cronus ate Zeus and the other major gods as children and they survived in his stomach, and in some versions after the whole uprising when the gods defeated the Titans, Zeus had Cronus chopped into pieces and thrown into Tartarus forever, where he continued to live as bits and pieces.
Hell, in Egyptian mythology even immortality is much the same, there's the whole story of Set "killing" his brother Osiris and chopping him into multiple pieces and scattered throughout the desert, and if these pieces were brought back together Osiris would be just fine.
Invincibility is a different thing and has more to do with being indestructible/unable to be defeated than with their lifeforce.
When I saw the Offspring, for the first time in a long time, I covered my eyes & then I went to go cover my Man’s eyes because hat’s not an Alien Hybrid, that’s more like SCP-096. If you know, you know 😱
That’s why Trent Reznor looks like an alien! Genetics!
Movie should have been called Alien resurrection 2
I am guessing you didn’t like it?
Bro was 1st draft in the NBA 😂
That thing smiling was sooooo creepy.
Newborn would've made a snack from the new, "newborn."
It also reminded me of the necromorphs from Dead Space
Black Goo is the deacon blood in Prometheus. If you look at that picture of the deacon being worship by the engineers. They looks at it as god. It was the creator .
" laaa laaa la la laaa laaa la la " - the offspring
So glad I watched this yesterday. Hate spoilers like this
I am also glad I watched this movie without spoilers. When my dad was telling me this thoughts he said one specific xenomorph and I was confused and interested. When I saw the original xenomorph I thought that was what he meant……..I was wrong lol
They answered that question in the movie…. He said what they did and we know how the Aliens were made. They pretty much injected engineer dna inside her
My crack theory is that black goo Weyland-Yutani's been playing with is a defective batch that the Engineers were going to throw out. We think it's amazing when it's really just trash
"I know the pieces fit..."
Honestly, I just thought the offspring looked like that because it might've been half-human from Kay
Hear me out…The DNA from the engineer head found by the crew of Prometheus was linked to human DNA. The pathogen could be a result of trying and failing to recreate the life force (golden goo) they used to create life on earth in the first scene of Prometheus.
The version of offspring in Romulus resembles the Engineers, so is it possible that they are descendants of humans who have tried to do the same before them and not the other way around?
Since the way she was implanted was way different, maybe the engineers were created by someone else, using humans as incubators or something.
I have no idea what I’m talking about 🤣
Really loved the movie. Although the entire premise was within the space station you didn't miss out on anything due to low visibility.
