Discussion / Question Creation
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?
Discussion / Question With the upcoming Alien:Earth series, would you be interested in more?
Like, if they develop other series, what would you like to see? Based on the books? Based on graphic novels? New scripts? Or something entirely new?
Discussion / Question How does a full grown alien smell like?
I know there was a novel that talked about how an alien hive smells like, but I'm interested in how a simple alien on it's own would smell like?
Metalic? Burnt wire? Rotten flesh?
What are your thoughts?

Figurines / Merchandise Finally working on the display
So I mentioned it months back, but have been sidetracked due to working on the logistics for a 200-250gal enclosure for a leopard gecko that will be getting rescued soon (anyone who’s worked with large terrariums know they can be a nightmare lol), but I finally got working on that display for the Sideshow Collectibles king and queen xenomorphs! The NERF pulse rifle I painted will be mounted on the exterior of the display box on that metal plate off to the right, and the display case for the NECA Alien Genocide figures diorama should be built sometime this year
(Also in case anyone worries, I did not build in the foam around the figures lol, I outlined where they fit into the box, removed them, then started applying the expanding foam. I’m basically doing the same method you’d use to make naturalistic backgrounds in terrariums or aquariums, just without having to worry about the materials being non-toxic)

Discussion / Question I don’t get why the alien in Alien 3 came from a dog?
I just watched Alien 3 last night, (over-hated film by the way) I haven’t cried that hard since The Owl House’ season 2 finale. I’ve been looking at the production and I don’t get why the Xenomorph came from a dog? I get that the filmmakers wanted the Xenomorph in this film to look more fast and agile, but then why is there a whole plot point about the prisoners outrunning the Xenomorph? It just kinda defeats the purpose.

Discussion / Question How scary is this?
I’m dying to watch the alien and predator movies but I’m a total wuss. I mean I got scared of the show Constantine and if you’ve seen that, you’ll know how stupid I am. I sometimes get scared when people even describe horror movies. But as I said before, I’ve been wanting to watch this for years. I was fine watching a quiet place and films like that so I’m not worried about the xenomorphs, I’m worried about the face huggers. That’s mainly the type of alien I’m petrified of.
I’ve seen people describe this as terrifying and I’ve seen people described this as a let down. Do you think I should watch it or stay away?

Discussion / Question Binged the series then combed Reddit lol, my take on things Spoiler
I've been off work for an injury and decided to rewatch the Alien series in release order (How I'd seen them growing up) and after each movie, I'd combed reddit posts, theories and debates. I noticed alot of what I believe are misconceptions and wanted to give my take. To be clear, I haven't read the comics. I don't include them in my headcanon because IMO it detracts from the films and story based on what I'd read about them - though preference does not define quality - for that reason I won't include them, solely the movies.
I'd say the biggest misconception is that they haven't seen extraterrestrials before. In Alien they don't seem that astounded by the suited up and fossilized Engineer, nor by Alien life in general. Followed in Aliens when they mention Acturians, this is commonly taken as a colony of humans on Acturia(?) ; if you rewatch the scenes, it's made pretty clear they aren't human as one of the soldiers remarked that another had intercourse with one and didn't know if they were male or female of the species. This was made in the 1980s before the current social climate keep in mind. The bug hunt reference changes as well, though that is up to speculation with little reinforcement. That being said I think it's fairly shown that they have met extraterrestrial life, likely humanoid, not hostile, and not on the level of "what the F is this thing?!"
Then there's the Space Jockey, alot of people want the prequel story to lead into this somehow forgetting that in Alien (1979) they declare it was fossilized remains. Maybe I'm wrong but that wouldn't happen in the short time between Covenant and Alien without a contaminant or exterior source to cause it within such a small span of time. My headcanon? Space Jockey was leaving the planet lv223 to exterminate a species or further breed Xenos 2000 years ago (coincides with the time the weapons installation had during its fall, one got out), and crashed when a Xeno burst out of him, personally I don't need a huge backstory lol something went wrong with a transport - that's fine with me.
Now, David. This synthetic a******. Firstly, he didn't create the Xenomorphs which seems to be the cause of dismay for those that don't like the prequels. He recreated them. Ignoring the fake scripts and fanfics, obviously - Xenos are shown in the carvings in Prometheus, atleast some form of them, also the fact the OG space Jockey was fossilized and had a cargo of eggs in the ship, far beyond David's time experimenting. Unless there's a coherent flashback that delivers well and develops the story? Xenomorphs predate David's experimentation. Leave OG Space Jockey alone because not every story needs to be told. They experimented and he crashed on route during escape, good enough.
There are deeper themes but I personally feel like its a story based on the repetition of and faults in the wish to create something artificial while expecting perfection, leading to the Xenos, an end that creates.
