"Whenever Elden was speaking, I wanted MORE."
Seriously? I wish there'd been a heck of a lot less... Almost every time he spoke, I was reminded of how much of a pantomime villain he/it was. All that obsessive bullshit about 'friends' and taking sadistic glee in slaughtering others for a revenge kick, made him/it seem like a total dick.

Agreed and I haven't even so much as read the comic. Sure, I've been told that it's a diluted form of the black liquid but somethings apparently have been tossed around saying that it is technological, but also natural occurring. Nothing really answered.
It literally made no sense. I can understand someone thinking the ooze could be diluted, somehow (although, why synthetic fluid should do that was never explained), but how did it generate flesh without any organic components? Why would a synthetic's CPU and software programming be getting rewritten?
It would have made a lot more sense for someone to be getting infected by, say, an Alien's corpse falling into a puddle of the stuff and infecting/changing its nature to a more structured form of biomechanical 'mutation'. Like it's almost a missing component to give the black ooze that additional sense of purpose and direction. We could have had an ordinary human looking more like Elden's end result instead of Fifield's 'genetic chaos' version, that way.
That, I could buy
and it might have given a reason for the character being able to communicate with the Aliens.
A little disappointed that they went out of their way to have survivors from LV-426 escape, only for there to be little point in it. They could have been from a completely different colony and the end result would have been the same (with the added bonus of not violating canon with the PDT stuff).
