Sil is just an asshole, seriously...
Try and be more courteous to fellow forum members, please.
Quoteif they leave holes opened in previous films it's not a bad idea to maybe try to fill them in,
What's set a lot of people off is that, when it came to this, there was no hole, but someone evidently imagined one into existence and tried to fill it in, regardless.
Quotewhich they haven't even done because you can't just assume that if the predalien inpregnates it's victims, that's what happened to Lambert, the complainins about queens not having life cycle's is ridiculous, if that were the case we could also assume Ripley never had a life cycle since in A:R we only see her as a fully grown woman 
I mean they were clones kept in quarantine, besides I doubt they were gonna give hosts for the queen to inpregnate if that fact wasn't even mentioned then so we can just assume they weren't aware of it, but still... having to bring up A:R into arguments shows how desperate and out of arguments
You seriously need to read back over the many pages in this thread before bringing up stuff like that. The main bone of contention isn't that something new has been added to the Alien, it's that the 'something new' in question now renders both natural Queens and egg transformation obselete. What's the point of natural Queens if any adult can simply go away form the nest and become one? What's the point of egging victims if this cheaper, quicker method achieves the same result?
QuoteNow claiming egg morphing to be better than the alien inpregnating a victim... the alien is basically going to rape the person, how is that not disturbing and alien-like? just try to picture an alien mouth-raping a person, if pulled off right it can come out nicely and give us all a new reason to fear aliens.
I agree. I like the concept for that sort of reason. I think what we see will be amazingly iconic. It's just unfortunate that it does what I point out above.
Also, it's basically ripped off from the Tyranid Genestealers.
QuoteYou say it doesn't follow continuity, I have yet to see how this breaks continuity, just like Colin said, it is expanding it, we've never seen a young unfully grown queen, and if she can't lay eggs. if a queen has no aliens to protect her, that's not a bad way for her to reproduce and start building a hive, after all... if you haven't seen it before it's because the queens we've seen are already grown up, and can lay eggs, and when they can lay eggs what would be more conventient, to lay an egg and have it find it's victim or have to find hosts, catch them, and rape them? 
Yet we had a full statement on the Auriga about how the younger Queens are like. Nothing about this new method. If there was, they would not have needed the other hosts.
Also, see what I've been saying about the eggs. The eggs
are her protection. They're a dormant, very lethal minefield. The individual facehuggers can apparently be encouraged to hatch on their own and seek hosts.
The most protective thing any Queen can do is to place itself somewhere safe and away from attention, not seek out confrontation.

I told many people that something will be f**ked up,but nobody want to listen me!
That new PredAlien hybrid should have been just an one bigger,uglier alien.The PredAlien should have been like in the AVP 2 games,but nobody want to listen.NOBODY!
The directors should have make it like the one from the games.
Not some egg morphing or pukeing in people's mouth to make Chestbusters.
It so f**ked up,i tell ya!
But the game version was manky. They looked like apes with really big lower jaws. This one at least looks better than that.
