BTW I don't know any AC fanatics that care about the storyline after what happened to Desmond Miles or Ezio.
Most are genuinely refreshed and interested in the changes of Origins and Odyssey.
Bring on the monsters, f**k the Animus.
I'm a just say this real quick since its a avp thread that i don't wanna accidently take over. I have swam neck deep in the AC fandom since 2009 and I will say that Odyssey created a civil war between new and old lore gen fans who either care or don't care about the series lore and characters. People was open to Origins as it had potential to go to somewhere good but with the reveal of Odyssey, things went f**kin to the shit. It got ugly super quickly that as much as we had problems with Prometheus, Covenant and AVPR, it will never been in such an extreme as I had to witness. f**k I admit what I was Team Lore and went bezerk myself cuz now its completely f**ked. If they wanted monsters, than make a new IP, otherwise whats the point of the Animus and the established whole point of the series.

The holes in the skull would be sealed up. 
Thought of an alien gone lame. Poor bastard would bump into everything, sterile and docile but with bare motor functions.

Except we clearly see the Predalien depositing something physically solid and big in the host, an embryo and it is going into their stomach, a place where they can't feed and grow in the host via an umbilical.
Eeehhhh just write it off as huge thick neck muscles that make it look like its pushing something huge lol.
Plus the DNA Reflex already said that its not an embryo, its some kind of seed that grows everything by absorbing the hosts DNA, including an umbilical that will do the absorbing.
QuoteThis complex process involves the absorption of organic material from the host, which is then broken down at a molecular level and rearranged into new compounds. Carbon units are disassociated and recombined into crystal lattices, which are used in the formation of the Xenomorph's hard body structures.Freed H+ ions are combined with surplus sulphate (SO42-) and nitrate (NO3-) groups to form the basis of the creature's highly acidic blood. As a side-effect of this unique process of development, Xenomorph genetic material is passed to the host as well as vice versa, and it is this trait that allowed the scientists aboard the USM Auriga to clone the Queen gestating inside of Ripley 8 as well as Ripley 8 herself.
The manner in which the Chestburster develops from the host's genetic material means that the host's characteristics will in turn dictate, to an extent, the Xenomorph's physical features — embryos are thought to copy 10-15% of the host's genetic code in a process dubbed the "DNA Reflex". This genetic absorption is designed to help Xenomorphs adapt to the environment in which they are born, and also helps the developing creature to "hide" from the host organism's immune system
Going further with that, its much more logical to be in a stomach rather than the back or chest. Parasites today either infect the heart, intestines, liver, or stomach as that's where the rich blood, liquids, and food is.
