Quote from: Hunter-Killer on Feb 27, 2021, 01:45:43 AMI don't know, there's some cool theories out there but in the grand scheme of things I don't think the derelict was ever supposed to be a bomber, and the only reason they found the eggs in the ship instead of in the temple as originally written was because of budget constraints. Ridley Scott shot himself in the foot by making the prequels, and now everyone has to play mental Jenga trying to make better sense of the origin of the xenomorph.Between Prometheus and covenant, and the Predator, I prefer if movies stopped trying to explain origins and just moved forward with something fresh and exciting

It was the Human characters trying to rationalize the Assassin and why Fugitive had some Human DNA by noting that they take things like heads and spines with them (rationalizing where they'd get the DNA). The final film never answers why they're hybridizing with anything definitive. At best the Predators at some point pulled an Indominous Rex and made a roided out assassin but that's all the film ever tackles on the subject. Everything else the Humans speculate about them based on what very little information they have.

Everything else the Humans speculate about them based on what very little information they have.The way the movie words it's dialogue is to explain to the audience why they do this, it was meant to explain why the Pred take spines, the different designs, etc. It was dumb, and hoping or thinking otherwise is wishful thinking, what the movie we got said is that the Predators were hybrids that collect autism via spine ripping, something that thankfully has been isolated to the individuals of that movie since PHG and its prequel completely ignore this
