There were relatively few holes in that one, especially compared it its sequel. I can only find the Alien's life-cycle as a true hole, otherwise it simply canonised a few elements that the games and comics suggested, like the heavy-duty plasma caster.
Don't want to turn this topic into a debate about the movies so i will leave it with this.
Avp2 - Requiem's, portrayal of the alien life cycle shouldn't be seen as a hole. The predalien was never seen before in the movies and the predator's lifecycle was never revealed.
How are the moviemakers supposed to put drones in the movie when there is only a limited number of drones in the movie due to the facehuggers?
They needed to add a life cycle. The drones somehow spawning the ability to produce babies was too farfetched. The predalien was the only uncharted territory.
If it spawned facehuggers it would be a queen. It needed something different. So...puke eggs in people's mouths, Stick your tail in their mouths and it comes out of there. stick ur tail up their ass. Sit on their face and give them a boston steamer. The only two ways that made sense was puke eggs or tail in mouth. This way it is basically the same pathway as the facehuggers (since they tranfer eggs through the oral cavity of it's victims). They went with puking the eggs, bc that is also, arguably, closer to a face hugger insemination. (I guess we could say the hugger's mouth is what the eggs come from, even though its most likely the "vagina-penis" that it looks like).
Therefore, I think what they did was fine.
