Shane Black is doing a SEQUEL!

Acid of adult Alien is not as potent as the one of  facehugger. It was shown in Aliens.

I never thought of that. Yet I always wondered why a jizz sized amount could burn through the Nostromo yet a vomit sized amount didn't burn Hudson's arm right off. Or disintegrate Drake.

Today is "thank the Master" day.

(Disintegrate Drake. That;s a good name for a band)

Lol no it isn't. Dead Aliens are seen to have burned through several floors of the colony. Drake and Hicks' armour don't fare too well either. Plus what about the escape in Resurrection? That's through the floor in a matter of seconds.

Also Predator equipment doesn't seem to record heat signature other then filtered ones.

No, the filmmakers don't seem to realise a bit of mud doesn't make you invisible. Or rather, they didn't care, because the viewers don't either.

Except you guys, who seem determined to reach for lame explanations that don't exist in any logical sense.

Hmm -- but maybe they were totally exploded at close range (a la Hick's shotgun). Certainly in A:R, it was ALL the alien blood that melted through the floor.

But you're right. You only think of that shit afterwards or ten years later on a forum.

Of course it is. Whole alien have like what? 5 Liters of acid? It's reasonable such amount burns through several decs. Few drops of FH acid did exactly thesame.

That's very nice. The film shows us it doesn't. It's hanging on the end of that thing for about a minute. A tiny splash of blood burned through two entire decks of the Nostromo in half that time.

No.  Ripley is firing the engine 15 seconds after firing the harpoon.  It's about a minute between cutting the hugger and Ripley saying "Looks like it's stopping."

The determining factors are volume of blood and what it's reacting to - metal or flesh.  Nothing to do with whether it comes from a hugger or adult.

Either way, surely it would've dissolved that flimsy cable in that time. When the Facehugger's blood hit the floor it was through the first deck in no time.

Guess not.  We don't know what the harpoon is made out of or whether any actually got on the cable.  It's more likely the engine took care of the cable than any acid.

[HuDaFuK]

It's just like how, in Resurrection, Ripley 8's acidic blood doesn't affect any of the surgical implements they use to cut her open and take out the Chestburster, even though it can melt flooring and even completely burn through a spaceship window.

[SM]

Because of course the science team wouldn't have known she had acidic blood beforehand or taken precautions against it.

[HuDaFuK]

Like building floors/windows/Alien cages that weren't affected by it?

Don't say that. The more potent FH blood is much more fun. You know, they're smaller, more vulnerable, they have a stronger defense mechanism.... I like it more than your science!

You guys.... It's a movie.... Come on...

haaahaaaa thats awesome

My mommy always said there were no monsters - no real ones - but there are.

Sure didnt stop them from breeding a lot of aliens and placing them in definitelynotacidproof cages.
