Why Alien: Romulus pits the Xenomorph against a younger crew

[solace97]

I wonder if this is the xeno design or the human hybrid

The shot of Spaeny holding the rifle with a guy helping her has ramped the shitty midquel vibes to danger levels.

For me it's compounded the shitty midquel vibes with shitty YA movie vibes.

Looks cool to me.

Does this alien still have a long phallic shaped head like in the first three movies?

Big Chap looks like Big Chap. The new Xeno is its own thing, and I personally don't feel comparing all the details between the two is all that necessary. It's a new design, which is expected with every new movie. I really dug the new look, and am excited for the toys to come out of it. Did not have the same feeling when I watched Covenant.

Ahh, so is this new image actually of

the 'human-like' xeno

that was mentioned in previous leaks? If so, that majorly puts my mind at rest

Spoiler

that we aren't getting something that looks remotely like the newborn

The Xeno in the photo is the Xeno in the film. It's nothing else.

It's the YA version of Aliens but with more violence.

Now added foreskin, from the look of things!

[Local Trouble]

If one of the characters doesn't say "so that just happened," I riot.  I need my fix of Whedon-style quips.

Wonder which character will be the one constantly complaining "Game over, man!" when it all goes to shit.

[Sabres21768]

It looks like its shoulders are like the Protomorph in Covenant.

The former.

[Noe]

Agree!

We've seen this kind of Alien dome where the front lobe is more pronounced a few times in comics, between interior art and covers. Maybe not this exact look, but similar.

Indeed. It also put me in mind of the Aracnoid Alien from Capcom's Aliens vs Predator Arcade :-)

Is this just a weird angle then? The head is making me a little nervous. The details look amazing but it almost look like the head is overly curved and narrow in the back, far from a traditional xenomorph dome. Hope they didn't try to do too much to make it noticeably different

it's a distinctly new dome shape.
