Would the newborn in Alien Resurrection have grown?

[Born Of Cold Light]

Although it was pretty big and strong to begin with, the newborn alien definitely had a look to it that it wasn't fully developed.  Do you think it would have grown more, and if so, into what?

[SM]

Yes, a bit, into a bigger blacker version of itself.

I don't really think so. I think the Queen's huge vagina was there for it to develop inside of. God this is so gross I don't even want to talk about it.

I'm not sure. I think it came out fully developed, so no I think what we seen is how it would have stayed.

Consider this. It is a human xenomorph hybrid.

Human children grow. Chestbursters grow. Logic says it grows.

There's no reason for the human genes to make it grow even bigger than Aliens though. And like I already said, why would it have developed at such an enormous size in the first place just to grow even more?

It's a mish mash moshi-mush of genes. Who knows.

Maybe not grow bigger, but it still looked somewhat undeveloped.  My guess is that its skin would darken and harden, it might grow some spines along the lines of that picture, and maybe a few other things.

Another thing to think about; would its intelligence have increased as it got older?

[OmegaZilla]

Like both Aliens and humans? Most likely.

[Vermillion]

Worst alien design ever IMHO. 

[OmegaZilla]

Also because it's not an Alien but a hybrid of one and a human.

The more this is discussed, the more it seems that the huge initial size for the newborn was fail.  I guess with the way they introduced it, they didn't leave any screen time for it to grow.  It had to come out threatening.

I'm with logic, which says it should grow.  Tyrannosaurus newborn...

Not exactly fail as it is not explained,
Can be easily gotten around with by saying it's a growth hormone disorder. Or something along the same lines.
