*BEWARE SPOILERS* Alien: Romulus

[Wor-Gar]

Slendermorph is so much better.

To Jye's credit, I believe.

 

[ScoutingForToys]

It'll forever be the slendermorph to me. It's too ridiculous to deserve the official name they gave it.

 

[jaztermareal]

My vote goes to Slendermorph too.

Or slim jim. Or Skinny Pete. Nah, Slendermorph is better. Slendermorph. Terroriser of teats, Alabama inbred supreme, the goo slurper himself!

For this film I think I would have preferred if they mixed things up and had the final survivor not be the plain Jane chick but instead have the Android be sole survivor after all humans died. The last human could die near the end leaving the android suddenly without a prime directive so he feels lost. Not knowing what else he should do he decides to make the trip to the destination colony planet in honor of the ones he lost, knowing full well he will be destroyed soon after arriving. Film could end with him watching the sunrise not realising that he had brought some alien biomaterial to the colony via contaminated ship. An actual ending that doesn't have the usual survivors plus leaves door open for sequel.

So pretty much end with him and his black goo, watching the sunset.

Some of Dane Hallett's concepts for the Offspring's final form before they decided to stick with the simpler form.

The first image is the version that made it all the way to previs before getting cut, but I quite like the last two sketches. The spider vibes add interest and remind me of the bony protrusions that hold up the Queen in her hive. The last sketch in particular has a great expression, like its very existence is painful.

 

[Mondragon]

Yeah, pretty wild.

Another unused Offspring variation created by Santiago Vecino, without the hair might not have been bad
Though almost anything would've been better than what they used

 

[Wor-Gar]

I don't get it... the classic Alien is a human hybrid. FFS


We've never actually seen "an alien" in its natural state... if there is one. "Kane's son" took on humanoid form as a survival mechanism to survive in its new environment.

Oh… wow. You have a point. It is a hybrid and we never have seen an alien that wasn’t attached to a human or animal before. Wonder what that would look like

That last pic reminds me of a grave hag from The Witcher 3. Not posting a pic, because it's semi-nude and then I'd have to infract myself.

 

[Khev]

Gah! Why didn't they use this one?!??

The one we ended up with looked a little too much like this guy:

 

[Solidus]

That pic of the slendermorph looks like he's getting ready to pull off some radical skateboard tricks.

Thrashermorph!

I will be in the minority but I think the concept art posted above was too edgy 90's comic silly. I prefer slender morph to it honestly but my ideal version would have been slendermorph with proper Giger biomechanoid look. Translucent, greys, silver teeth, tubes something very unnerving like no eyes. That would have been better. Like Giger Xeno crossed with Species Sil and a pressure suit Engineer from Prometheus. Something almost like a Husk from Mass Effect

 

[jaztermareal]

Imagine the tall skinny lanky frame of slendermorph but incorporating translucent and biomechanical elements from these:

Sadly a missed opportunity to make something even more creepy and in line with the original Alien design

From what screenshots I've seen I believe less is actually more in this case...

I agree, they should've left out the Offspring entirely.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The Offspring makes no sense.

 

[Mondragon]

What if the "just some @#ole" father, was the LV-426 navigator, his last night out on the town?

 

[wormlander]

The Offspring makes no sense.

I thought he was pretty fly for a white guy...
