Aliens could use any techniquie when needed having more makes them scarier less predictable and les boring

True, the old lifecycle was beginning to stagnate, or at least that's my opinion.

Why then in Aliens did she summon her guards?

She told them to back off. When Ripley let loose, the Aliens charged forward. Whether or not it was her doing is unknown.

The alien just takes the best traits - maybe the dreadlocks and mandibles are useful somehow.  The chest - maybe it is because of extra strength/defence.

It takes the posture of the host and, rarely, one additional feature. Everything else it seems to have just fine naturally.

It didn't even exist until people saw the deleted scenes with it included.

It was well known back in 1979.

But we have egg morphing if there's no Queen

Seriously, though, how did Aliens happen?  We only saw one guy get facehugged - so only one drone.  The queen takes at least a few days to grow and start laying eggs (as mentioned in A:R).  All this time - if the drone goes around abducting people - turning them into eggs - it is wasting potential hosts for more aliens (1:1 ratio - egg morph to host).  It does not explain how Hadley's was overrun so quickly.  So yeah, it could just hang around and protect the queen - but it would be hunted by the colonists the whole time.  The colonists had weapons they could've taken down a single alien.

Sorry I couldn't resist!!!

Should we have the Aliens spontaneously split in two and grow two whole Aliens from those pieces as well?

This atually makes the Hadleys hope invasion make alot more sense...

My point is that AVP:R isn't simply adding content to the Alien and Predator universe. It's MAKING SHIT UP!  

[megachu17]

how could it "add" somthing that already exists?

That was also when the directors and fans began disputes over 'canon'

I explained this earlier. In Cameron's original chain of events, an investigative team was sent to the derelict and got infected. Not only that, but even if there was only one, it could take a person, turn them into an egg, and then that hugger could go on to make more eggs as well, or it could be a Queen.

Yes, the colonists had weapons - So did the crew of the Nostromo. A single Alien is notoriously hard to deal with, especially if you don't have prior knowledge of what they are.

We have no timeline from Jordan being hugged, to contact being lost. In any situation it had to be a few days, whether a drone went around egg morphing or a Queen was born first off.

adding and making stuff up are the same thing...the Queen was "made up" by Cameron

[SiL]

And while he did indeed ignore what was set down by the previous filmmakers, at least what he did worked with what we know, rather than making shit up and excusing it with ignorance.

A queen is not vomit... puke...  food matter...  a disgusting horror cliche... a marilyn manson gimmick! lol

A queen is high brow. Anyone voting this the most brilliant creation since the queen raise their hand.

*crickets*

[Major Alan Schaefer]

ingnore, he knew its there and was smart enough to ask

"What would aliens do if they didn't have time to eggmorph and had no other way to make a Queen." at least he is thinking...
