You can turn dead bodies into eggs.

That's true, but long term turning into a Queen would work better.

So why have the option to egg morph at all?

That's the whole effing problem. It's not that they ignored it - Cameron ignored it - it's that they totally invalidated a concept that was around since the Alien's conception.

There over 3,000 post and 210 pages!

It's the gift which keeps on giving.

Not very happy about that personally i always liked the idea of egg morphing..but honestly eggmorphing would be the best soultion for the Alien sitation, impreganate a crew memeber they go to sleep and get realsed on a new planet. It might not be as usefully in all cases but in some it could be invaluable

That'll probably be the supersecret method of reproduction in AvP 20.  Old ideas constantly resurface after all.

So? Stuff like that happens to stories of any kind, all the time.

Plus it was a deleted scene.

Yea, and even if the DC is Ridley's definitive version of the film, Cameron, Fincher, and Jaunet all ignored it because they either 1- Didn't care 2-Didn't like it or 3-Didn't suit their stories. The Bros. aren't any different.

Except that all information points to this now contradicting it, unlike with them.

[Weasel]

Ugh, thats a massive discussion your sparking there. And I point out is already has been discussed.

[Xenomorphine]

No "sparking" about it. That's what all of these pages have been about.

[Weasel]

And I don't think we need a repeat. (Even though thats why there is 200 pages instead of 100)

[Xenomorphine]

Which is why, before replying to anything, people would be able to read back.

Humm after thinking for a few days i kinda believe i've figured out a way to make The new reproduction method more in line with "canon"... i'm also new to these forums so please be gentle on this noob

Anybody remember how on Alien 1, the facehugger was helping Kane breathe? Being an alien species, how in hell did the facehugger "knew" of a humans need to breathe? To me this only makes sense if the facehugger continually "adapts" itself to the caracteristics of it's host.. and once this little idea was in place... what if the facehugger fully controls the DNA mixing for the chestburster? How come the chestburster manages to keep the most "useful" capabilities of it's host? In my mind the facehugger picks and chooses these capabilites among the hosts DNA, explaining why, in the presence of a more useful "reproduction method" it would definitely choose such a caracteristic for the chestburster... this also helps (in my mind) go over the problem of why human born aliens dont have penises    sexual reproduction would be useless for them... obviously this idea raises a few more questions:

1 - What's the exact reproduction method of the predator? (must be definitely X-Rated)
2 - How come a tiny facehugger.. is able to choose the finest aspects of a DNA... or how come it can "understand" a Phenotype (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenotype)  by looking at it's genotype? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genotype) In theory this should be impossible..

I've already come up with an acceptable answer to number 2.. what's your guys take on this?



Edit: after reading this.. i feel more and more like a geek hehe
