Alien

Hey peoples. Today I'm gonna talk about the alien as I see it. Here it goes.



So If you are a huge Alien fan like me you know the that is much unknown about it. Especially if you think about what's introduced in the comic books too. So there's millions of theories and new ad-ons to the alien universe throughout the Internet and even comic books. So my mind is constantly raging around trying to see what fan lore fits best in my mind set about the alien.



One of my biggest problems is how most fans completely deny that there is a difference between an alien " drone " and an alien warrior. I fully embrace this idea as in my little mind it comforts me that the alien from the first movie and the alien from the second are not one and the same so I can see them coexist in my alien universe. This way I can have the awesome color differences, hands, and especially the head which concerns the skull face, the dome, and the more prominent ridges the aliens from Aliens have.



Probably my second biggest problem would be how an alien changes from host to host. Me, I have tied this in with the existence of the Alien King solving 2 problems. What I think is that if a there's a King to mate with a Queen, a King being just a warrior or drone moved up and evolved in the hive, then perhaps the facehuggers are stronger therefore not having to use some of the hosts DNA to create a embryo inside. I figure that it's much more likely that the facehugger tells the body to create the embryo with this DNA so the antibodies won't kill it and it's already in position then the facehugger cutting open the esophagus and navigating it's way through life giving organs to put it in the chest cavity only for it to die.



That also fits in with the movies. In Alien the eggs were aboard the derelict for the engineer's bio weapon as what became evident in Prometheus. If they wanted a bio weapon than they probably had the stronger facehuggers that didn't take DNA therefore the alien in the first movie being purebred. In the second we can assume that all queens are purebred so if there were human derived xenomorphs than a king simply hadn't evolved yet in the hive so that the aliens there were human derived xeno's. If the hive survived long enough for a king and had available hosts than the human ones would be drived out to make a new hive so one of them would evolve into a queen. I'm 90% sure that theory is fits with the rest of the movies too. We can assume that the aliens in Aliens look similar to purebred aliens because of Prometheus. If they created all these bio weapons to wipe out us. Then it's probable that some human or engineer DNA was used in creation. Therefore we would be afraid of it's human like appearance and it's monster like features.



Finally there is how the aliens look different movie to movie comic to comic. I think it's either their DNA is unstable, hence mutation of different generations. Or the engineers did that purposely. How scary would it be to have a almost unbeatable enemy already constantly changing and adapting to it's environment.



I would use the warrior from this movie for the purebred warrior as I like the ridges on the head but I would give it the missing head support from the first 2 movies, less muscle and more biochemical escoskeleton, and the tail would be the same as the first movie's with a blade instead of just a barb.

Phew that was a long post. Needed to get that out. If you have any questions please comment. Bye!
