Is that an actual form letter that got sent out to people? lol

But I can say that THAT is more fictitious than the entire alien franchise itself lol

I mean, just for the amount of effort this deserves a like

[Engineer]

That was more effort than PKJ or larroca put into it 🤷

Thanks ChatGPT.

If we ever start doing community awards on this forum, I hope you get Shit-Stirrer in-Chief

[Wweyland]

That's obviously ChatGPT

[Sarahlyn35]

For a layman like me, it as nonsensical as a creature having acidic blood

Acid blood isn't nonsensical at all. Lots of bodily fluids are acidic, like the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs we use to digest food.

Plus bishop does mention it oxidizes when exposed to air, so it may be non-corrosive until it bleeds.

Assuming it's acidic all the time though... hudafuk just said exactly the same thing I would have. Acids are great at transferring energy, hence why batteries have acids in them. It's essentially a living battery and in my head canon, the reason it can live so long without sustenance; it's very efficient at using the energy its body has stored up.

I was thinking the same thing. In Vasquez they use the term "acidic" as opposed to acid blood which only indicates a PH below 7. Different acids with PH below 3 can be stored safely.. sulphuric acid will not melt lead but it will burn your skin, hydrofluoric acid can be stored in plastic, fluorine can be kept in copper.

I'm not sure what the Nostromo hull was built of, and whether this would give an indication of what the properties is closest to.

Also.. is it really blood? Maybe not in our sense of the word? If the purpose of blood is to move oxygen around the body and it doesn't need oxygen.. or doesn't have organs.. then it isn't really blood.

In my weird Google searches of the day there are 8 animals that don't have a heart (that we know of) so it's entirely possible its purpose is nothing more than a defence mechanism like toads with toxins in their skin.

I looked through David's Drawings and can't see a cross section of the finished creature. Maybe someone here knows if one exists?

I think there's a diagram of anatomy in the Weyland Yutani report. It doesn't show them having a heart, but they do have "aortic arches" whatever that is lol
Nah, I wouldn't think their blood functions the same way as human blood (I.e., transferring oxygen around the body), but I still believe it functions similarly by transferring energy around its body, which to be clear, I admit is my own head canon. That can change in a heartbeat (pun intended) with any new release that comes out and chooses to address this stuff...

[HuDaFuK]

Another idea I've seen floated is that the acid isn't blood but a different fluid entirely that's stored in a separate layer beneath the exoskeleton for defensive purposes.

That arguably makes more biological sense (there are animals that can secrete all kinds of noxious chemicals for defence) but I personally like the battery-acid-for-blood concept more.

[Immortan Jonesy]

I dunno
But I can say that THAT is more fictitious than the entire alien franchise itself lol

Maybe ChatGPT knows something about the egg in the Sulaco, or what happened to David and the Covenant.

Maybe it's like THC

I mean.. it sounds WAY cooler!

[HuDaFuK]

I mean.. it sounds WAY cooler!

The living battery concept also ties in to the idea they're engineered rather than naturally-occurring creatures, and as much as I hate the way that was presented in Covenant, as a concept it's one I've always really liked.

I just strongly disagree with Ridley that we needed it spelt out for us

I could deal with it being engineered rather than natural evolution, it even makes more sense probably. But... by an android created by man? Snoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore!
