Giger's original idea?
That was for Alien 3. Hardly original.
Not sure what you mean by that - but it sounds like something Giger would come up with, if he was to practically envision egg-morphing (if that is indeed what it is). How else would you get the embryo inside the victim and to change them from the inside to an egg, then?
Two words: LAZY IDEA...
This cockamamie idea of new FAST-FORWARD alien reproduction would only work if that was how the Predators would reproduce... The eggmorphing would not be done like that at all...
Also, what renders the Predalien so special so that he/she (
- Now I get Colin's 'SHE' ) can now lay eggs orally unless it IS a Queen...?
I mean, why use the blatant economy of means at their disposal to motivate and justify this pathetic and utterly bogus reproduction means in order to avoid doing a Queen and eggs...?
This is an OBVIOUS 'money-save' idea, not only to place the Predalien and Queen all in one, but also avoid the time problem with the eggmorphing...Funny thing is... in terms of money-saving, that would be the way to go...However, so much for the 'continuity protected' remark from Colin... Continuity is not just about the events depicted in AVPR not conflicting with the ones in the Alien saga, but also, keep canon and Aliens RC unscathed because otherwise explanations, on and offscreen, will be required to explain the obvious departure from Alien canon...Aliens don't plant eggs down people's throats, they plant embryos, so
either there won't be any eggs at all during the whole movie, and what Chet places in people's throats are the embryos, or 'she' is gonna eggmorph them into eggs, and we will still have the EM-duration time problem... My vote is on the first...
