QuoteSo you say. I however don't think it's silly at all.
But I do and that's more important.
Lol of course it is.
Quote from: SM on Feb 19, 2014, 10:58:50 PMThat aside it'd be handy if this theory had anything at all to back it up and wasn't based on stuff that was completely unprecedented.
You're quite right to some point. Mine is just a theory. I fully admit that. But.... let's see what does back it up if at least not hard evidence:
1. There were two aliens in Alien 3. The alien that was gestating inside Ripley and the alien that was running around killing people. Up until that point our entire experience from the first two films was that an alien comes from a facehugger ergo, there must have been two facehuggers.
2. While not shown in the theatrical edition, there was a Royal Facehugger in the Assembly cut. So if you argue that my point number 1 is invalid and state that a royal facehugger could implant two embryos instead of just one then I refer you to point number 3.
3. The egg was not in the dropship therefore it had have moved to the location we see it in somehow.
4. If you wish to argue that there is no such thing as a royal facehugger or wish to argue that we don't know exactly what a royal facehugger can do since nothing was really shown, then my theory still can support the fact that they're normal face huggers.
The whole point of this theory is to answer the problem of the location of the egg and the fact that there were two aliens. Other theories usually don't answer the problem of the location of the egg and try just to answer the problem of there being two aliens.

QuoteThe royal hugger glued it to the wall with its spit.
I'll let alien3 answer this as this is not part of my theory. But if I was to hazard a guess, we've seen alien warriors secret a resin that enables them to attach hosts to walls etc. So there is precedence to a certain degree.
But yes you're right, there's nothing in the films that shows a Facehugger (or royal facehugger) can do such a thing. Again it's just a theory that does have some backing from the films to a certain degree. I certainly wouldn't call it hard evidence, more like circumstancial evidence.

But why would it still need to develop when it's been gestating in the Queen's egg sac? Bit stupid for it leave the egg sac undeveloped.

What eggsac? The eggsac was still on LV426 when the Atmosphere processor blew.
