How is AVP-R "going back to the roots"?

[Spaghetti]

The extend DVD films are still cannon in my mind.

So why ignore them in favour of this awful regurgitation thing?

I agree,

why not use egg morphing which is as "back to the roots" as you can get, over this horrific pred-alien-queen barfing idea?

This guy is funny...

If it's the director's vision for the film, then it's cannon.

That is seriously lame. Nothing personal, but by that logic, any director that takes hold of a sequel to a
particular franchise could make up any shit they wanted to without paying attention to what has been established and then expect that made up shit to be regarded as official by the fans who are most likely going to reject it. Nice try, but its failed.

So if an alien 5 is made and a director wants the aliens to shit ice cream out and molest children, its canon in terms of the alien lore.

A little optimism: Credit where credits due tho.. this film looks better than AVP. I'll say that.

I'm not questioning that...I find it hysterical that you would say that, considering you decided to ignore egg-morphing in favor of this regurgitation nonsense...

[Xenomorphine]

If they had the budget or the desire to show "egg-like cocoons", why not just show eggs then?

Because the story did not call for it.

And note how Colin is not commenting on this, in any way.

So did Cameron, look how he turned out....

Well, since we didn't see the beginning or the end of that scene in Alien, it's totally open to what actually happened off screen.

Yep. That's life.

whoever said i was complaining that he was posting on the board? Doesn't mean I have to agree with his statements or his reasons for why he chose to do things in the film. I don't have some vendetta against him or any desire to kick him in the balls or anything. lol.

[echobbase79]

All the Alien sequels f**ked with the lifecycle. If any film is to be blamed it should be the first one because Ridley should've kept the egg morphing scene in the version released back in '79. The whole process is opened for interpretation.

[Anomaly]

To be honest.. time to turncoat on this particular issue. Egg morphing is LAME. lol

[ShadowPred]

Life's a bitch people, you alien will be sh** on much worse, hell A:R proved that.

Not as lame as barfing into peoples mouthes in my opinion.
