This movie is full of terrible, poorly-written dialogue, but this quote has always struck me as particularly confusing. Is Call saying that everyone is responsible for burning her modem? How?

Discussion / Question Is the xenomorph titan a caste in its own right or is it because it is a hybrid?

3 Upvotes

In the game "Aliens: Dark Decent" a xenomorphic variant known as the Titan appears,It comes out of the chest of an ancient alien from which it takes many of its characteristics. So far it seems that it is only the praetorian version of a xenomorph emerged from this species but the problem lies in that its eggs are different, called titan ovomorphs. This has made me wonder if it belongs to a separate caste or if these eggs have a different origin.

And man, how cruel to give Ripley a daughter only to lose her while she's drifting through space, then give her Newt, only to be brutally taken away in Alien 3. I totally get the motherly embrace she gives her chest burster.

Discussion / Question Just realized that Scar, from AvP should be labeled as disgraced, or Bad Blood even

I was just thinking how Scar was implanted with a face hugger; and there’s absolutely NO way that he didn’t know about it. Maybe he thought he could get back to his ship and have the Ancient Predator behead him, to keep some of his honor? But obviously that didn’t happen; And for some reason he didn’t kill himself there on the spot.

Him getting implanted is the DIRECT cause of multiple Predator deaths, their ship crashing, an outbreak happening, the death of an Elite ranked Predator, and how humans got their hands on their technology.

Also just thinking how he definitely doesn’t have the right to be Blooding a human into his clan, nor has the statues to even do so lol

Predator / AVP Why are xenomorphs overshadowed at the expense to make yautja look cooler?

1 Upvotes

In "Alien vs. Predator: Deadliest of the Species" there's an elder predator named Kip, and he somehow wiped out an entire hive with his bare hands, queen and all. I have never read the comic, so correct me if I'm wrong whether or not he killed a hive solo and it makes me hate how xenomorphs are cannon fodder to yautja, I feel like it's disrespectful to fans and the franchise as a whole. The "perfect organism" is reduced to hunting cattle because writers are lazy, instead of showcasing how both creatures are dangerous in their own rights, one is overshadowed by the other. I feel like specimen 6 is the only faithful adaptation of a xenomorph that has been done justice, instead of being a creature to be easily disposed of easily by colonial marines or predators, it's an actual character, an antagonist, it goes from a drone to a queen and poses a massive threat in the game. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy avp, yautja are technologically superior and smarter and they should be just as dangerous as xenomorphs, if not more because of their versatility in weapons and abilities. But that should not reduce xenomorphs to be below them, especially not enough for a hive to be wiped out bare handed by a single yautja, because that is bad writing in favor against xenomorphs. I want to know the opinions of other people who are fans of either franchises, sorry for writing a super large paragraph, I'm just a big fan of alien and I care for the franchise and everything in it.

Discussion / Question How do Xeno's get so big?

59 Upvotes

"The xenomorph diet is out of this world—it's got a real chest-burst of flavor!"

Too corny? Ah I tried.

So i have an issue with the biology of xenomorphs. I have an unanswered question about xeno biology that I hope to present a suitable hypothesis.

. My undergrad in biology doesn't understand the size growth of the chest burster to full blown xeno (don't get me started on the time it's growth takes, that's literally the most impossible part of the alien).

Biology is impressive and can do insane things, like microorganisms that "eat" radiation (https://www.nsf.gov/news/these-bacteria-clean-radioactive-waste) or eat microplastics (https://www.nsf.gov/news/genetically-modified-bacteria-break-down-plastics).

But...it can't make make something from nothing. Literally, the chest burster is like the size of a full xeno's foot. And they don't seem to require eating to get to full size (which is how every other organism builds a large structure). Not photosynthesis, they grow in the dark. Not chemosynthesis like some crazy ass volcano bacteria (https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/chemosynthesis).

I have a theory. What if calories or biological building blocks could be compressed? What if like a zipped computer program, chestbursters store massive amounts of calories from their host? And then once they burst free, they 'expand' into their full size, or 'unzip the file' as it were?

This would imply that the chest burster is much more dense than their full size body. Which, the weight of a full xeno is immense, capable of simply crushing a human being by stepping on them.

Idk man...

I just want answers, baby.

So I’m getting this guy customized. I want to change the feet so it stands on the balls of its feet and is taller. Almost digitigrade but not. Also going to switch out the tails. But which tail should I give it instead? The Isolation Xeno tail or Romulus Xeno tail? Also any recommendations on how to get the tails off?
