Bah, Hicks is teetering on the brink of violent insanity.  You people wouldn't listen to a mad man, would you?

Surely I'm not classed as mad until I finally tip over the edge? Right? Right?!

Actually the worst thing is that bloody stupid name.

What name?

Gash

Xenomorph - just seems to me to do a disservice to the Giger art. 'Alien' is just better - vaguer and more dramatic.

As has been pointed out here many times (and I'm sure you know), that name only means Alien Life Form. The Thing, E.T., the guys in Close Encounters, and whatever that thing was in It Came From Outer Space are all xenomorphs (yes, with a small 'x').

People need to stop calling this thing a 'Xenomorph'!  :D

Why?  It's only identified with the capital A Alien anyway.

Because Gorman had no knowledge (apart from Ripley's report) of the creature prior to the mission. In his view, it was 'some damn alien life form'.

Ditto Hicks's reply of "it's a bughunt." If people knew what a (capital X) Xenomorph was, he might have said, "it's an eight-foot creature with acid for blood, and it's gonna take everything we've got to stop these things."

Frost:  Uh... A wut?

Clearly not trained in anything to do with what they're actually dealing with.  At all.  As a specialist unit this is a complete fael.

fial.

fail.  lol.

Don't forget what Hicks asks next.  "What exactly are we dealing with, here?"  indicating he's willing to take her seriously but still doesn't know what she's talking about until she expressly describes it.

Who said this outfit was trained for situations like this?  Oh yeah, Greenman Gorman - with input from Burke.  lol.

These Marines have never encountered Aliens before.  Never.  Otherwise they'd know flame units would be pointless and it would be smartgun harnesses on everyone's shoulders.  Or, after the initial sweep of the colony, they'd go back the Sulaco after finding no survivors other than a child and shitstorm the colony from orbit with nukes.  They wouldn't even enter the processor looking for PDA owners.  They know they're f**ked.

That is, if these marines had ever encountered Aliens before.

I fcking love the fact that the Runner/Dog Alien has full lips. While the alien's lips were always a bit translucent in the first 2, the third gave the alien more character imo. Even the original ideas from Giger, with the kiss of death etc, were so fcked up..I love it!

Lips all the way baby!

The legs after alien 3 are the worst imo. They simply belonged to the runner and not to human bred aliens.

NeoXenoPred

Agree with windebieste. If they had encountered them before they should just bomb 'em from the orbit. The legs and the tails were messed up after Alien 3. Xenomorph also universally known as alien, too. Maybe they used this name because they will struggle if they said Internevicus raptus or Linguaefoda acheronsis as it's a long name. A simple xenomorph maybe fine and also a cool word for people.

Favorite: Insanely difficult for me to name any one thing. May have to come back to this.

Least favorite: Queen's stiletto heels comes in first. The Runner in #3 still having the usual human-based head structure, despite not being born from a human, also bothers me a lot.

Mr. Clemens

Hmm... an alien with a canine face would have been spooky as hell..
