The Perfected are a result of the 26 Draconic Strain

The Woman in the Dark is probably the disturbing human tendencies that the  Icarus strain makes

Pathogen making anything up the story requires on the spot? Boring as absolute f**k.

So pretty much in keeping with how it was introduced in Prometheus.

BlueMarsalis79

Yes and it is complete shit in Prometheus. Your point?

My point is that's clearly just how the pathogen works. It's liquid plot, there is no alternative.

I think saying there's no alternative's disingenuous at best frankly.

Alien Covenant says it has a particular function, so does Alien The Cold Forge and Alien Into Charybdis, that contain depictions that I prefer. And I am hardly alone in that feeling.

Covenant also shows it alternatively destroying and mutating with no given rhyme or reason.

Goo does whatever the writers want goo to do. You can like what some writers do with it more than others but complaining it's arbitrary seems silly since that's precisely what it's always been.

I thought it was supposed to be accelerant.

It might appear silly to you, but it is not, being that like most things in both franchises.

You can do it with a deft hand, or with a sledgehammer, I'm just going to voice that I don't like to see the sledgehammer sometimes.

Whether it's depictions of The Pathogen or the Alien itself.

It accelerates the plot towards whatever drama the writers want to happen.

Personally the black goo introduction in Prometheus demystified the whole 'Alien' mythology for me but that's a whole different thread to discuss and dismantle.

I previously mentioned about if I should be arsed picking up the new Marvel series again (I did finish the first volume). Now I'm starting to think I will so I can say `well at least I have read it and then can make my own proper judgement on it'.

You need to get with the times, old man.  It's all about AI and goo now.  The beast is cooked.

There are old pilots and bold pilots. But there are very few old, bold pilots.
