It’s funny how after all these years they still can’t explain how a Queen xeno is created lmao.
>>
>>214941807
Doesn’t she spawn from a gebetic mutation
>>
>>214941807
like bees make a queen
>>
>>214941807
She spawns after a 20 days long gooning sesh
>>
>>214941807
I think the books/video games established that if a xeno was on its own it could mutate into a queen to create a new hive. But then I think there was something about royal facehuggers too. Who the fuck knows, this franchise is such a fucking mess.
>>
>>214941807
Engineered biologically by something else. Nothing about the xenos is natural.

>>214941807
>how a Queen xeno is created
a xeno transforms into a queen when they're in proximity with a large group of hosts

aliens is a good movie, but it sent the series in a terrible direction
the queen was a mistake
>>
>>214941991
Expanded Aliens media tried to establish that the xeno in Alien is a different and more powerful variant to the ones in Aliens which were essentially retarded warrior class xenos.

That's right!

Why don't all the xenos just transform into queens then they would be unstoppable unless you nuke the fuck out of wherever they are.

Because then who would do all the work?
>>
>>214942251

>>214941807
In the game Alien VS Predator : Extinction you get alien units called Praetorians who are really strong and can cocoon and become queens.
>>
>>214941991
Nah, Cameron had the right idea. Just a smart colony of bugs where the horror comes from the indifference in which the species propagates.
Ridley should have just done an adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness instead of taking Lovecraft's story and grafting Alien onto it with Prometheus.
>>
>>214942303
it could have been if they weren't downgraded from being the perfect predator to fodder for marines
they're better as a bioweapon anyway, because the life cycle doesn't make sense otherwise

In AvP 2 it's a killstreak reward
Makes perfect sense to me
>>
>>214941807
How are queen bees created?
>>
>>214942290
The lore in Extinction was great. The writers of that game really understood what was appealing about each faction.
>>
>>214941966
this one sounds the best.
but in reality, it is far more likely that an android on the base went mental, found one of the eggs in the giant crashed spaceship, killed a local woman, cut her genitals and organs up, then stitched them together with parts of a face hugger in a dank cave using nothing but a scalpel and a bit of fishing wire, and then just by placing her womb on the back end of the face hugger in just right the way, created the queen face hugger which then infected another colonist and soon after the queen alien was born.
want to know my credentials? I invented aliens as a concept.
>>
>>214941991
yeah true always makes sense when people post this - they definitely should have just had another spaceship called the lostromo on the same planet, completely oblivious, but had anotber corrupt android called Char, and then had them happen upon the big alien spaceship by chance again, and one is facehuggered then chestburst but this time with EVEN MORE BLOOD!! but this time the alien is injured and has to wear a metal mask over half of its face and it finds a really distinctive futuristic machete in the storeroom and uses that to kill off the crew - one - by - one - but you never fully see the alien til the last five minutes and then Dipley, the main character, manages to kill it with a pneumatic press, or makes it fall into the lava section of the cargo deck, or makes a tree fall on it in the tree deck.
we can make it a big thriller scary surprise slasher film exactly like the first film, and call it Alien part 2: The Alien is Back.
third film will be Alien part 3: The Alien is back again.
in Alien part 3, then it will be the first alien from the first film that somehow survived, and the audience didn't like the metal mask and machete so this one goes back to classic. in the film its a new crew on a new spaceship called the Postromo, and their spaceship bumps into the alien's floating body in space, and it goes on board and one by one the crew is killed off and there's a cat again, MEAOW, which watches it all, called Ponesy.
Slipley is the main character, and she manages to survive, but all the other teens at camp are killed off one by one. And after one by one they're killed off one by one then Jason, I mean the alien, is killed by having him fall down a really deep well when Slipley runs past it and he's not looking.
I have ideas for parts 4-12 if you want to hear them.
This one will definitely please the Alien part 1 fans.

Alien part 7: a retired sheriff called Hipley arrives on Camp Hadley's Hope, looking to retire and go fishing. Little does he know that the alien from the last film or maybe the one before fell back down from space and isn't really dead. the alien wakes up and has to make itself a mechanical hand to replace the one that Slipley chopped off. the sheriff has to deal with the alien using only his trusty revolver, but will it be enough?
Alien part 8: No Hope
the colony planet hadley's hope has been closed due to eggs, but a group of boozing teenagers climb the chain link fence around the planet and that's when things start to go wrong. The alien wakes up with a mean headache, and it's back to business as usual. meet Tira the rock chick, Boddy the quarterback with a heart of gold, and Cony, the quiet cheerleader who really just wants to do well in school. can they fend off this new threat?

Cameron’s whole “giant ant” fanfic bullshit has absolutely nothing to do with canonical Alien from the first movie. The Alien is not some oversized insect drone its an artificially engineered, intellectually advanced organism, a parasitic lifeform designed to be the perfect predator. It doesnt need a queen, it doesn’t need mating, it reproduces on its own terms. Cameron shouldve just made Terminator 3 instead of hijacking someone else’s creation and shoving his shitty bug-queen headcanon into it.

Alien part 9: Ripley's hope
Ripley at this point has become a clinical xenologist, and runs therapy groups for survivors of alien attacks - of which there are few. she takes a study group to the colony planet, thinking it must be deserted by now. big mistake. the alien, now with a grey beard but much bigger muscles is sitting in a rocking chair waiting for them. can Ripley survive her worst nightmare?
Alien part 10: Alien's dead - the absolute final chapter:
Ripley long gone, happily living on a distant other planet. A new feisty female arrives, technician, can hand build a spacecraft using only spare parts, she's been prophesised by a local hillbilly farmer because she has "the eye" and can finally deal with the alien. Her name is Tipley. now it's up to her to finally once and for all dispose of the the Alien®.

Where do you dipshits get this idiotic headcanon? It could barely defeat a few unarmed jobbers. It couldn't kill a woman in her underwear when it had the upper hand and unnoticed. Couldn't stop her from destroying the fancy ship and stranding it in space. Couldn't stop her from blasting it with a harpoon gun and tossing it out an airlock. It only managed anything by them purposefully handicapping themselves not using guns so they didn't have to pay for repairs and having a secret spy working to betray them for the alien's benefit. But morons like you think jazz hands are lovecraftian and invincible kek.

>>214944972

I will forever be annoyed on how Cameron shafted Giger out of Aliens movie for the dumbest possible reason, redesigned the alien to be more insect like and created the downfall of the franchise.

Seriously all Cameron does is genetic normie shit like Avatar
>>
>>214944726
Those xeno types are all fan made or created solely for comics/video games.
>>
Aliens would have been a shorter film if the Colonial Muhreens had that autotrack Pusle Rifle that the Romulus chick got.

Hudson could have solo'd the hive even with a few magazines.
>>
>>214942373
It's like a rare genetic variation, sort of like how we don't know why a baby decides to be born a boy or girl or hermaphrodite.
>>
>>214944651
The initial eggs were provided by the engineer race in the derelict space ship. After, the xenos can create their own eggs.
In Covenant, David made his own eggs, but they were not the bio-mechanical variant, but a predecessor 'alpha' version. If you consider that storyline canon, then it's safe to say the eggs are created or ''cooked'' by the engineers via the goo.

>>214941966
Do you think it's an erotic, sissification kind of process. The xeno sees his head beginning to change and begins to get excited about how all it's other xeno friends will see it getting more and more queen like and ready to be fucked by them?
>>
>>214946624
calm down cameron
>>
>>214946605
In that case, the eggs still originate from the dead 'elephant guy'. It doesn't matter if they made them or not. Once the facehuggers have their prey, the xenos can create more eggs.
>>
>>214944651
eggmorphing is so much cooler and more fitting than some big bug laying the eggs, cameron is awfully unimaginative

Prometheus was the best attempt at giving life to the franchise. It and covenant were the only films to attempt to give more of the Giger horror tone.

>>214941807
Isn't having a specific Queen xeno kinda misogynist and arguably transphobic? Any xeno can become a Queen at any given time, it's their choice.

AVP had the best inclusion of the Queen, a captive who breaks free. Kino, girl power before all of our minds melted and it didnt matter. AVP is my comfy kino i enjoyed with people no longer with us. Not a good film really by any measure but as far as the Queen, think its the best depiction.

in real nerd speak, we could just use headcannon, xenos are like bees, where they could pick on xeno, feed it some sort of jelly like substance, start a transformation. But being born a queen, not sure that even happens in the insect world

The funny thing about the Queen in AVP is that she should still be alive, if the aliens can survive in the vacuum of space for a long period of time there’s nothing stopping the Queen from surviving in the ocean since the water tanker should break apart.
>>
>>214946987

When you see flying ants, it's because they left their previous colony carrying a new baby queen to a new colony site.

ah thats a good catch, would be kino if predators extracted her somehow, and could do something with the prisoner but is she better free to balance the predators or something

>>214947090
good call, didnt know that, i did a quick search on bees but i think lore for the xenos would benefit immensely from using colony type insects. Im the poster who thinks Ridley made a terrible mistake injecting abortion. I digress, but it really takes away from the worry of a Queen mass producing eggs if all we need to do is make more medical pods

Aliens should just propogate with microscopic spores created by David. That was way better and scarier.

the bugification of the Alien is criminal. In Alien it was a horrifying monster born from a mysterious and terrifying being. In Aliens, there are a bunch of them, they blow up from like one shot, and they even function like bugs; relying on a queen to reproduce and swarming their enemy like ants.
>>
>>214948861
ants is terrifying bro. they incredibly tough and tenacious they also can run incredibly fast with incredible weight. if ants were as big as humans your "horrifying monster" would be chomped in half by single worker.

And ant colonies is even more strong, there is colonies that can literally connect and act like single entity emulating liquids to move around and even drop from incredible heights or swim in water.
>>
alien is an elevetaded B movie script tzat had good direction and visuals but is inherently flawed from MANY logical angles. the first movie especially is riddled with stupid writing for plot convenience. the characters even mention those stupidities, but they dont get resolved on screen.

literally just turn your brain off and shove the popcorn in your gullet, consumer
>>
>>214941807
she’s democratically elected by the local population of aliens chud.
>>
>>214941807
I can explain it.
Ridley Brainlet Retard Scott is a terrible movie maker and a shit director. He hired people who made the movie for him. The original alien was designed by HR Giger. It's an alien. It's alien. It's not supposed to make sense, it's an otherworldly abomination from the twisted mind of HR Nigger.

Then James Cameron who had no involvement in Alien made Aliens. James Cameron looked at the alien and went ''oh, that's a bug'' and then he made xenomorphs into bugs. Now the xenos are bugs so what do bugs have? Colonies and they have queens. There you go, the big bugs have a big queen because they are like ants.
That's it. This is the full explanation of how the queen xeno was created. That is the in-universe and outside the universe explanation.

It’s kind of like the Flood in Halo. They start off as little more than dumb zombies, but as they accumulate enough biomass, a Gravemind is formed, and the collective becomes more intelligent and coordinated, using weapons, piloting vehicles, and even communicating
>>
>>214951494
Now read your own headcanon and ask yourself why would any writer make something this retarded?
This colony shit is so retarded and uninteresting. The idea that xenos would gather mass and make eggs and then carry around facehuggers to place on people is anti-kino.
>>
>>214948861
>Alien - isolated xenos spawned away from hive are larger and stronger and can reproduce by transforming the bodies of their victims into eggs
>Aliens - xenos spawned near hive are smaller and more numerous to build hive and protect the queen
>Alien 3 - establishes that xenos take on some of the genetic characteristics of the creature they spawn from
I like that all of these things apply to the same organism. Shows a terrifying level of survival and adaptability and that should have been expanded on in subsequent movies with different solo or colonies of xenos presenting different challenges based on where they are.
>>
>>214941807
ants, bees, termites, nature provides plenty of examples of just borderline magic happening.
wasps mostly lay their eggs in their victims, then the larvae gonna eat its host, bursting out of it when its big enough.
>>
>>214944380
i think there was some comic or book where when another queen is born they fight and one of them leaves to establish a new hive, or maybe I'm mixing two different things
>>
>>214944929
>Literally unexplainable. No one knows how queen bees are nade.
What? We know full well how they are made. if the old queen is showing signs of becoming unable to produce viable offspring, the workers build a larger cell to place a larva into and fill it with royal jelly so the larva will develop into a queen, and when the new queen emerges, the workers kill off the old queen.

The queen bee doesn't actually rule the hive. It is just a breeding machine to produce new larva, and the worker bees make all the decisions for the hive as a hive mind (pun intended). The queen is a disposable tool.
>>
>>214944380
>With bees Queens are born all the time but the existing queen will stab them through the face before they mature and come out of their nursery hexagon.
It's not the old queen that kills the new queens. It's the first new queen to hatch that kills of it's sister queens, as the worker bees made spares in case the first one doesn't work out.

When a society is so well off that children mortality stops and women can afford to have children at older age, they start to produce autistic offspring that have the potential to advance the sciences for the rest of the normal population to enjoy the benefits from. Just like the worker bees in the hive don't get to pass on their genes by themselves, they help the hive to survive and thrive. Aspies are essentially a specialist class that exists to grind at tasks that are too boring for normies to get too invested in.

What do you mean? I've seen only movies and played some games, but queens born from one of facehugger embryos once few drones are matured enough to protect the hive.

You can't read, tranny. I said it's anti-kino. The fact that you could make some nature documentary about xenomorphs and show their cycle of life and how they gather materials and how they reproduce shows how anti-kino it is. You reduce a completely alien species to a bug and these cucks walking around carrying eggs and little baby facehuggers to place on people. It's all so incredibly lame. This kind of retarded wannabe realism shit doesn't mesh with the alien we saw in Alien who grows into a 7 feet monster in a few hours. That thing isn't a bug, it has nothing in common with any lifeform we know of.

So what? Ridley had zero good ideas for them either. It's an empty mystery box and the possible answers they did have were even more idiotic. Like that stage being an infant who is confused and violent, usually guided by their highly intelligent elders. So they stop being scary spooky aliens and become peaceful, supersmart monks. Yawn. Or how they only live a couple days like gnats and the xeno was in the lifepod dying. Or how Ridley wanted it to suddenly speak english and mimic Ripley's voice. All way stupider fucking ideas. Any of these creatures would be easily understood over time after being observed from a distance. Just send in Ash and you'd be able to see exactly what it's capable of doing after a relatively short period of time. Or now some flying drones with HD laser scanning cameras since they don't give a shit about the technological level of the Alienverse any more than they cared about the lore of this alien. It's not like the thing can create wormholes and teleport to Earth, create a giant squid tentacle horde that will enslave the human race. It's always just going to be a beast that has a defined life cycle and capabilities.
>>
>>214952755
Emotional seething response. Your ant collony shit got called out as anti-kino so your response is to bring the xenomorph on the same level and say the xeno from the original is actually anti-kino because if you figured out the life cycle it would also be lame and gay. Your argument for defending this ant colony shit is to shit on it yourself.

What would be kino is not answering those questions at all. An old alien species left these eggs around and you don't fuck with them because if you fuck with them an alien we don't comprehend will destroy you. The eggs came from who knows where and when they hatch you are fucked. An alien will grow to its full size in hours and it will kill everything. It has no plan, there is no reasoning, it's not building a colony or breeding, it's just killing everyone in sight and you can't fight back and if you can fight back its blood is pure acid that will eat through everything and destroy your ship.

There's no fighting the retards. They just want endless Friday the 13th movie style Alien movies with zero backstory or idea.
They just want a silent killer slasher that just shows up for no reason out of nowhere and kills a bunch of people with no explanation or story.

They have regular face huggers and royal face huggers. The royal face huggers don't just make queens either they can make praetorians too which act as guardians for the hive and can grow into a replacement for the queen if she dies. There, does that answer your question?

It depends on the writer-ahem, location and stage of xeno infestation. If there's <dozen xenos then terminators will win, but if the situation involves close quarters and a massive infestation, the aliens would swarm and tear apart and melt terminators.

I understand disowning Alien 3 and Resurrection, but I don't see any effort on Ridley's part to incorporate even a small bit of what Cameron added to the mythos, despite it being loved by fans and other filmmakers alike.
>>
>>214958666
Feels good not knowing what the fuck any of this means and the aliens still being an unknowable horror from the depths of space.

So how do normal Aliens lay eggs? They sometimes bring living hosts a meaty/gooey area in the ships (which I assume they make) to be used by facehuggers, but where do the eggs that hatch those facehuggers come from?
>>
>>214964905
Ridley is spiteful and senile. He just want to double down on things people don't care about or actively dislike, for the sole reason that peopel don't want his shit i nthe series that OBannon created, HRG designed and Cameron integrated

Aren't queens born from a royal facehugger? I believe that is even shown in Alien 3

Cameron's bug fan fiction goes against O'Bannon's ideas and he didn't want to let Giger work on Aliens.
