. .i think the spine gets in it's way as it exits and gets ripped out. .
Exactly. Victim's spine isn't mutating into the creature. Alien just rips it out of the way. We're gonna have
Spoiler
mouthburster as well. Then what? Victim's mouth will become part of Alien? Come on!
this.
rediculous theory, that also makes no sense, nor does there exist any visual proof about such a feat.
the neomorph is running around as a juvenile small being whilst the ship explodes. you can clearly see it in the trailer. it is too small to be using the human skull etc. it also makes no sense that the 'victim' would be alive like that and then in a matter of seconds the embryo turns into what?
also, it bursts out and then attacks the crewmember in the sickbay.
there is literally zero direction that this is the case. in the video you can also clearly see his spine is indeed ripping open, yes. but that's because unlike the chestburster, which sits itself somewhere in the chest area, the backburster somehow grows somewhere in the upper back. it then bursts out, through the back instead of the chest. obviously the spine will get damaged/broken.
in reality the human spine is too strong to be bursting out like that, but let's ignore that and use it to base that the alien has insane strenght from embryonal phase already.
