QuoteThat doesn't prove much. Snakes when the shed they're skin the sheded skin is transparent. But the snakes skin is on is it transparent? No thats why that video doesn't prove what you said. So when the skin is on the alien its not transparent.
Hate to tell you this (well not really), but even when it is on the animal, it is still transparent. So is human skin for that matter. Although there is a degree of pigmentation, most skin is generally see-through; it is the multiple layers of said skin that make them seem opaque. Actually, if you look at some shots of the smooth-head aliens in AVP, you can even see the ridge-design beneath their skull. But yes, off-topic indeed.
QuoteIt's not white. Look at the part where the light isn't shining on it directly. It's brown, with an increasing, mollusc-like speckling effect of black on it.
I never said it had to be pure white, it is just more white as opposed to the standard black we are used to seeing.
And keep in mind people, the point of this topic was NOT to debate whether it actually is white or not, or even why. It is to come up with imaginative explanations and purposes for the alien
if it really were white. So flex your brains a little and be creative :p
