Is it so hard to imagine that maybe the Queen loses this ability once it grows up a bit more?

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?   

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

My stance aswell. Though I'd rather wait and see what it looks like on-screen before I judge it.

Not at all. The issue is with why it would even need such a function in the first place.

Not all of us have changed our minds...I, for one, am just tired of arguing at this stage...so here I am high as fu<k and trying to be friendly for a change...

But please continue the good fight Antman...you'll soon realize you won't change anyone's mind on it...

Egg morphing hasn't been seen used since 1979. How is that just using the same old stuff over and over?

With all due respect to you I always thought that the egg morphing thing was a stupid idea.  I'm glad it was cut out of Alien and I hope it never is introduced.  On the flipside I am beginning to agree with you that this vomiting thing is just too far removed from the original cycle.  I like the superfacehugger more.  I think that is a much more logical method of protection for the queen considering that the superfacehugger can create several aliens.  I think that would have been a better way to do this than the vomiting thing.  There should have been a regular queen in this movie and the Predalien should have been just a regular Predalien.

If it aint broke.....DON'T FIX IT!

Exactly.

I'm sure it'll look awesome, but it still doesn't fit.

Maybe. For now, however, I will wait to judge it when I see it.

Not at all. The issue is with why it would even need such a function in the first place.

So, you're saying it makes more sense for a young, vulnerable queen to build a hive herself and leave herself unguarded until she lays eggs, rather than create several smaller Aliens to guard her and build the hive around her as she ages and starts to lay eggs?

[genocyber]

you know,their was a time when chestbursters themselves were considered a stupid idea.I say,give it a chance and stop whining for now.

[FACEBOX]

There's still hope.

Please AVP gods...please let this whole vomiting thing be translate into a deleted scene.

I think your missing the point. There are better alternatives to this idea if this situation did arise.

So what do you want us to do? Cry more? The movies already finished filming. You can bitch now and wait to watch the movie then bitch some more... or you can come on here and bitch everyday until the movie comes out for more attention if you're inclined to do so. Most people choose the former.
