Well, maybe she is creating a hive, but at the same time, she is also trying to make quick drones. I thought the drones are supposed to help construct a hive for the Queen? Are we basing the info on ants/bees? Maybe the Aliens follow a different route. Who knows...
As for the comment of breaking existing information, again, this stage of the Queen, in this sitatuion, is something we have not seen before and thus, what we do know/have seen is not all hurt by this new method. It's just a stage/method in a Queen's life that has not been thought of before. So, yes, its directors introducing more ideas to the Alien moviegoers/fans, but at the same time is NOT breaking anything.
What we know of the Queen is what has been established, when she is able to born from a chestburster and is able to produce an egg sac. Is that all a Queen Alien (not Queen Bee or Queen Ant) should do? Remember, we are talking about an Alien species...one that still has alot of be explored and expanded upon.
I welcome new ideas that don't kill the ones we have known of for years. The Queen will still act the same way, when she's in the stages of her cycle we have seen in Aliens, Alien Resurrection (first cycle of course) and AVP. This is just a piece of the Queen cycle we have never seen on film. The Queen in Alien Resurrection does destroy this new idea, because:
1. The Queen was contained, until after she produced eggs (which we never got to see her actually produce the eggs on screen)
2. The Queen was not in a situation where she was free and able to use this method. Besides, we barely got to see the Queen, during the time she was producing eggs. Who the hell knows how they had her contained (we only got to see her head, behind the glass)
It's surprising that a regurgitation method, such as this, has been thought up for the Queen cycle, but it only works, because of the situation AVP-R is presenting...a free, young Queen that is in the middle of chestbursting/producing eggs via egg sac (I'm tired of repeating this).
And again, I understand why some people would be against this, because it's something unexpected, especially from the Queen, but we have to remember that we don't know ALL of the Alien's cycle. We only know from what we have seen on screen (and read in novels, etc).
It's also difficult to embrace it, because we have not seen AVP-R. So, all we have is expectations of it looking bad and the reason it doesn't work is because we have not seen it before and therefore, it should never be included.
If it makes sense to have it included, then there really shouldn't be a big problem. As long as it works and makes sense for the Queen's survival, during those stages of her development...I say go for it.
