....ok.
i'm gonna pretend you didn't post this.

Internacivus Raptus: Murderous (Fratricide) life thief from within.

Can be considered "BS Name #3". It was created by either the marketing department or the art department of Fox. Since there were no scientists who had studied the aliens and lived. Thus, very little (if any) information would make it back to the scientific community for peer review. If any scientist or scientists call the alien internecivus raptus, it would still be an unofficial label at best.

If anything, linguafoeda acheronsis would be a more specific description of the aliens, as internecivus raptus could apply to any creature.

[Xhan]

If they do it in movie, unless there's an intervening factor it's the name used. Their OFFICIAL name is Alien obviously.

Name derived for absolute canon > magical made up name for EU. It doesn't have to subject to peer review, as there are names now for custom biological agents and theoretical biological components which for commercial or military apllications won't be getting any kind review any time in the near future, but still retain a linnaen style nomenclature for purposes of indentification.

I don't see you calling them Star Beasts even though that's technically the originating name.

They have no official name.

They're all patent names and not things we'd see as taxonomical labels.

I don't see the crew of the Snark calling them that, either.

[Xhan]

They have no official name.

I'm talking OoU.

patent names

And? If the Alien universe takes place in line with ours linnaen nomenclature won't even be relevant.

The mini-documentation presented in the Menus proves otherwise.

taxonomical labels

Really? Which movie was that in? The one with the guys form Twurp's Peerage having a rousing talk about naming the wee beasties?

Internacivus Raptus describes the crowning achievment that made audiences fully understand this movie was going to be a bit different.

Linguafoeda Acheronsis literally means strangely bewildering obscene language from the River of Woeful existance in Epirus.

Nope.

[maledoro]

I'm talking OoU.

I know.

And? If the Alien universe takes place in line with ours linnaen nomenclature won't even be relevant.

Of course it would.

The mini-documentation presented in the Menus proves otherwise.

You seem to have confused the silly whims of the art department with someone who had a hand on the making of the films.

taxonomical labels

Where did I say that it was part of a movie?

Internacivus Raptus describes the crowning achievment that made audiences fully understand this movie was going to be a bit different.

It also describes any animal that steals and destroys; like the kitty cats in your sig banner.

Linguafoeda Acheronsis literally means strangely bewildering obscene language from the River of Woeful existance in Epirus.

That is if you only take a figurative translation of the word "linguafoeda" instead of the literal meaning, and if you are under the deluded impression that LV-426 is located in Greece.

[Xhan]

silly whims

hahaha... you obviously don't have a clue how much money and manpower was leveraged. This is Fox. Everything given to AQ and NOT given to AvPR is deliberate, as with the inclusion of the Nostromo files in legacy.

Of course it would.

Must have missed the last couple of years then, as LN is on its way out the door, and held onto mostly by old school biologists and archaeologists.

movie

Which is why it's your opinion at best.

It describes a FRATRICIDAL thief who steals life FROM WITHIN. Rather apt considering GR and LC.

on the otherhand DH's now as of John Shirley and the Reboot defunct Mangulation of latin doesn't even track because the wrong forms are used, A nor is it even spelled correctly, B and completely lacks context, C.
