Colin seemed like he enjoyed his time on both projects which is always good to hear. Keep em coming!
Ridley Scott did a terrible job establishing that in his movie.
It makes sense to me that if David creates those eggs and what we see in Covenant are all protomorphs, just iterations before the xenomorph, that David is going to think at some point 'Hang on, surely I can't build all these eggs myself and keep doing so', and might think to create something that can lay the eggs for him.... hence a queen existing. Which as much as I hate the idea that the Queen then wouldn't be something organic and alien, at least makes some kind of sense.
I wouldn't say it was superior. It was more of an instinctual animal. You saw that when it attacked the crane.
Would you agree that whether or not the creature was superior is relative? Yes, the life cycle appears to be faster—but is faster necessarily more effective or advanced? You could argue that a slower, more unpredictable, unknowable beast is "superior" because it knows how to stalk its prey.
