It's implied that the Maginot has been to several moons/planets to capture alien species. The eye monster is an intelligent being that is able to parasite any earth creature, just like the Xenomorph.

The ticks are the same, with the fully grown form showing signs of intelligence (such as when it infects the water bottle). The plant and fly are the only exceptions.

All creatures shown are also super natural in a way, since they are not bound by energy restraints. They can produce vast amounts of acid, toxins or other things that would require a lot of energy. The Xenomorph is the worst, being able to grow in hours and have supernatural abilities despite just being made from a single human body that they infected.

Also, how would the Maginot expedition even work? If they found the eyeball, it would have it's own civilisation, but somehow they snatched a single one and nothing else?

It's a Peter Pan parody. The aliens aren't supposed to have a purpose for the same reason th fae/monsters in Peter Pan didn't. What I do like is the xeno is much more interesting when it's not the apex predator in an environment, while the regular humans were still a little too red shirty for my tastes, the oculus alien and the androids and the captain hook robot arm insert made the xenos less threatening and the world more interesting. The show wasn't perfect (the reddit CEO was the worst) but the world they created has potential.

I understand what you are saying, but the definition of paratism is to attach one self on to a living host to siphon resources from it. Eating another organism is not paratism.

Paratism between species to are alien to each other is very silly. Many parasites evolve along their hosts, and if they don't, they will target something more universal, such as how mosquitos drink the blood of many species.

The eyeball monster is supposed to be able to instantly control humans by climbing into their eye, which is rather silly.

The first episode I saw of this was the one where he eats a weight-loss candy bar with a parasite in it, I've only seen it once when I was like 12, and it's lived rent-free in my head for the past 20-some years.

The reason why people hate parasites is because it’s seen as a perversion of what is sacred: life within life.

The human body is a team effort. It is symbiotic. Microorganisms. The micro-biome and all. Pregnancy is the ultimate sacredness.

Lifeforms that live within and feed on the host and pervert its mechanisms is seen as the ultimate affront to life within life.

If you want a serious answer then Weyland-Yutani was pursuing alien lifeforms as a means for biological warfare and they didn't have any interest in alien species that did not fall under that mandate.

There's no other aliens in the Alien series. The writers of Earth are very uncreative and don't care about the lore. They come up with generic tropes and ideas made by prompting AI. They start with the same thing that made all the Predator species into hunters then turned them all into le honorable samurai. Since Xeno are parasites, then all aliens will be parasites. Aside from Space Jockeys that is. But even they are merged with their ships so are sort of parasites

maybe because they're the only ones that survive space travel by taking over other creatures

Why do you people say this? Do you really not understand how marriage works and its benefits? She's not stealing half of your shit. You're making an agreement that you're joining your two lives intimately and yeah it was meant to be taken very seriously. You want her to be staying home taking care of the house and raising kids, then she is part of the wealth and prosperity of the household too. You're not just earning money for yourself, you're earning it for your family which includes her. If you split, then she has as much entitlement to money as well to continue raising kids and not be homeless. Does that mean she should get millions if the guy was already rich? No, but that's why you make a pre-nup. The joke is not funny since people take it seriously and resent wives. You can already see the damage it has wrought on society now as the concept of marriage has soured and diminished in favor of single mothers.

>>221221906
The woman gets half your shit if she leaves you, dumb fuck. Modern marriage is the most retarded thing ever. Your wife can cheat on you, and instead of getting stoned to death (which is what would happen in a just society) she is entitled to half your shit, plus in many cases, an alimony payment. Even if you have no kids. Literally makes no god damn sense except as a humiliation ritual for men in this society and a way for lawyers and judges to enrich themselves, since those bloodsuckers also get a cut for destroying your life and actively encourage the woman to destroy you even if she didn't originally plan on it.

>>221219588
I doubt skinborne germs and mites are symbiotic and certainly for gut flora it depends on the species and even for the beneficial ones they aren't enormously helpful, they only provide a small amount of minerals / vitamin recovery from indigestibles.

Also the reason people hate parasites is because they're instinctively repulsive not through some silly life is sacred ethos.

I wish the first season was collecting the alien specimens with a little bit of the android and corporation introduction on earth. The season finale could have been the spaceship crash. They just jumped fully into Jurassic park Chris Pratt retardation.
>>
>>221224821
For that, you'd need it to not have been written by AI. They put in a prompt and filmed whatever it spit out. Didn't care if it was retarded. And they didn't care how stupid they made the xenomorph look. It's not even a star in its own show. It's just a series to introduce le Disney OC Baby Eyeball! Who is way better, smarterer, and cooler than the lame dick monster!

in some countries the laws are so bad a woman is entitled to half your shit if she merely sleeps with you and hangs out at your place for an arbitrary amount of time.
Western society has made getting into a relationship with a woman not just unattractive but dangerous. All thanks to feminists.

Hey buddy. Did you know that each and every one of your cells is a living thing? It goes a lot deeper than gut flora. There are wars being waged inside of you right now. White blood cells, immune systems, etc. Yeah, life within life. It’s a team effort.

Parasites are hated precisely because they’re gross but also because they’re a perversion of what we consider wholesome. A human baby is not seen as a parasite unless you’re a rampaging feminist lesbian who sees men as literal aliens injecting parasites into women with their cocks.

That would be silly since Predators aren't canon to Alien. They're a fun sidestory meant for teens to sell toys. Nothing more and not to be taken seriously.
