    They have the exact same opinions as you but about films and not comic books. I don’t know why you have to hate on them so hard. I’m sure I’ve seen a few of your movie takes Zack and people like what they like but for whatever reason when it comes to cinema you seem get a kick out of some real stinkers. I will give Romulus a shot before I watch Drinkers review.

      Romulus was good. I walked in with very low expectations and came out thinking this was a fine addition to the franchise and would be placed between the first two films as a must see for any new fans.

    Even if that's true, it's still a substandard film. I've explained my own perspective in the last Romulus video you produced, as well as a somewhat recent community post.
    It's just not a good movie. Speaking for myself, I'd rather see the Alien franchise just be kept on ice for now. Same with Predator, for that matter.

    Them being some variations of British aside (I'm not sure about Robert Meyer Burnett, BTW), having watched that video in question myself right before this one I was under the impression that their main complaint in that video about Alien: Romulus was that it tried too hard to _copy the stuff that should've been unique to that iteration directly from the other Alien films_ more than anything else about it, basically J.J. Abrams copying A New Hope almost beat-for-beat when he made The Force Awakens to the point where I was able to predict Kylo ending Han seeing it in theaters without even being spoiled beforehand.

    Alien Romulus added a couple of interesting bits to the lore that was never shown or explained before (in the movies at least). They explained how Face huggers "see" and are able track their targets. They also showed a part of the Xenomorph growth cycle (the time between Chest burster to full grown Xeno). I thought both were cool additions I've always wondered about. Also, I didn't see the tracking Pulse Rifle as a way to show us how unremarkable Rain is (she's quite clever), I thought it was just an early prototype of the M56 Smartgun that Vasquez and Drake use in Aliens.

You could watch it in a hotel room while you're on the road like any other sci-fi movie. Rain, the MC, was a fine protagonist and shouldn't be remotely compared to a Mary Sue or "Girl Boss".

      @@ArionNoble definitely true in a 1v1 "fair" fight. The ways to realistically offset this involve differentials in weaponry, skill with said weaponry, and element of surprise. A woman could kill an unarmed man with a gun and the element of surprise if she's got enough training with the gun to be able to shoot it effectively in that situation. Theoretically, she could do the same with a melee weapon and the element of surprise if the competence can be demonstrated, but in that circumstance the physical strength matters a lot more. It still matters even with the gun, because strength and size still matters for being able to use a gun effectively, but it can be offset more realistically in that case. Really, the challenge when making a woman fight is being able to make their victories feel earned with respect to what you highlighted. Not disagreeing, but I do think this is relevant context in relation to your callout.

    I share your frustration with the UA-cam critics regarding Alien: Romulus. I don't know if you watch or like Rings of Power, but they definitely have a narrative to protect surrounding that show. Now that 3 episodes of season 2 have premiered, they hall have their videos proclaiming it to be the worst thing ever and a desecration of Tolkien. We don't know what Professor Tolkien would have thought, but his grandson is a credited consultant, and the Tolkien Estate provides feedback and grants permission to refer to things Amazon doesn't technically have the rights to. What's even funnier to me is that many of the UA-cam thumbnails feature images that are either from season one or from scenes in season 2 that have only appeared in trailers thus far...to me this supports your idea that these people don't actually watch the show or movie being discussed. Or at least, some of them don't, and then the rest lazily latch onto the new talking points.
