Prometheus Sequel (ALIEN: Covenant)

Re: Prometheus Sequel (ALIEN: Paradise Lost)

I like friendly banter. Actually I mean the brain of the host and the environment they are in, not the environment the FH is in. But I see your point.

Me too.

I'm pretty sure the alien's biology is adaptive only to a degree -- meaning if the host is bipedal, then it assumes a biped form -- but I don't think it is so adaptive that it conforms completely to a local form for that 'world' -- otherwise it would get rid of it spines, etc, and the biological idea might be closer to a fully adaptive creature; a copycat alien like Bodysnatchers. The alien seems to retain much of its "alieness".

Well at the end of the day it is a xeno first and almost like a parasite, will use the "good" parts of it's host but retain its core xenomorphic profile. Also, we have only ever seen the first few generations of xenomorph in films.

Re: Prometheus Sequel (ALIEN: Paradise Lost)

True.

I guess the only way I see a "Queen" truly taking shape would be IF the alien absorbed that necessity from a host -- like a Termite Queen or something.

Re: Prometheus Sequel (ALIEN: Paradise Lost)

Maybe the father of Newt had an ant farm for terrestrial nostalgia and the FH somehow got an imprint of the colony concept and that's how it started...I know it's a stretch,but.
Also I find it interesting that Hadley's hope itself was a colony...

Re: Prometheus Sequel (ALIEN: Paradise Lost)

Or maybe there was a big Queen on Hadley's Hope who got taken by an alien and that alien got confused by the other meaning of a 'queen'.

I'm just trying to help Cameron here.

I think it's pretty clear it's was an egg, it was clearly an egg, it's a botfly/moth/ant/bee, of course it's an egg, there's not even room for interpretation there imo.

It can still be the "perfect organism" (whatever that's worth coming from an android) and still be social when required, in fact, the perfect organism would thrive in isolation, yet put the collective good of his species first in the case of a colony, the Queen doesn't contradict anything, I see it's being viewed as if the egg was a disadvantage when we don't even know what constitutes "perfection" in Ash's eyes, perfection is relative, has constraints and context.

The fact that it comes from an egg doesn't make it any less interesting or any more terrestrial, even Lovecraftian gods breed by "mating" and that doesn't make them any less incomprehensible.

And if you think about it, is it really an egg? It's more like a womb, and that is weird.

Besides, a virus? I don't see it, If anything, the closest thing comparable is an apex predator.

Not sure where you got that the "egg" was the problem. It's not at all.

There's a saying here called "chicken or the egg" which is a what-came-first brain teaser, but it doesn't mean anyone here is disparaging eggs.

No, not the eggs, the queen, the root of my post is that the queen doesn't contradict anything, I put emphasis on the eggs because someone has to lay them.

Humans, sure, very similar pattern, I don't see it with the Alien though but we don't even know much about them, and comics don't count.

Re: Prometheus Sequel (ALIEN: Paradise Lost)

Do boys really dream about ****ing a girl alien? Do they get off running their hand across her thick shoulder pipe? Or along her ribbed tail?

I never got that.
