See, we can come together and make magic....or something.

Tell you what. I write, you direct. We'd make billions.

With your writing and ideas, you'd make billions alright, you'd make billions of angry fans   Haha, just messin with ya!

You know what I'd bet money on he'd make?

Aliens 2.

As I recall, they released the Director's Cut version in theaters for the anniversary rather than re-inserting that specific scene.

If re-releasing a movie with new scenes in it, worldwide for all the world to see, is not canon inducing I don't know what is...

I've merged the two threads about the new lifecycle. The one with the poll was starting to blossom into a mirror-image and it seemed wise to mix them before they branched off in too many identical ways.

It's still not the ORIGINAL theatrical version, they only released the DC version for the anniversary. That's it. That's like me saying that because they released the DC of Daredevil just for it's anniversary, it's now canon, which it isn't.

Actually, my idea is more Alien 3 meets Predator

Good luck with that!

Did you see the trailer? They facehug the hunters.

I should have added more to that statment. Maybe they are killed after they have chestbursted.

I doubt that's the case, but if it is, I'd much rather Colin & Greg resurrect the egg morphing concept rather than turning the pred alien warrior into a pseudo-queen or using this as an interim feature until it reaches maturity if it's a pred alien queen all along. At which it's growth rate is waaaayyy too slow. Especially considering the rate it's siblings developed in the first film. If it is a queen, it'd have enough sense to keep itself out of danger until a hive's established considering it's importance as a queen.

Damned straight.

Facehuggers die once they implant an embryo, so of course they die.

So, I see the negativity has died down a fair bit just as it usually does following a visit from Colin.

And, as usual, his soothing words have calmed the savage beasts, but provided little actual reason for the reassurance.

We were all in a tizzy, "They PredAlien reproduces by puking into our mouth!" we cried!  Many thought it was a crappy idea, and said so.  "No, not in my mouth!"

Colin says, "Don't worry, it's cool.  We made up a new stage to the life cycle."  (Even though they strongly implied in Fango that they hadn't.)  "We totally surprised you.  This horrible idea is good.  It's not a horrible idea.  You can go about your business.  Move along."


And this does the trick?  All he did was confirm that this crap is real.  Truly, horribly real.

I think my biggest problem with the concept is the idea that a "young Queen" is somehow defenseless, and needs to make puke babies before nesting.  An Alien is crazy-deadly, a Queen moreso...so why would a young Queen be some kind of defenseless 'thing' that can't look after itself long enough to start makin' eggs?

It doesn't feel like a natural stage, either.  If you can multiply by blasting embryos straight into victims, why would your next stage complicate the process by adding two extra stages?    

[Xenomorphine]

Yeah, they reintroduced it for the Director's Cut. It was still a general theatrical release and it's one which happened to reintroduce a lot of previously missing stuff.

[The Chibi Kiriyama]

Can't say I disagree, Uncanny. But at this rate, I'm just coming to terms with the fans who are going to think it's all cool regardless. It'll be like this for a long while.

Good post Uncanny. I really don't know what to say or think about the new lifecycle.

Good post Uncanny. I really don't know what to say or think about the new lifecycle.

That's because it's a bad idea.

I have to agree, but I'm also concerned about the portrayal of the human "birthed" warriors. Are they going to be portrayed as cunning, powerful, stealthy creatures like in the films? Or as mindless, weak, insect-like cannon fodder who's only real strength is in great numbers like in the comics and games? Especially against only one or a few preds.
