So for what I've been reading these Xenos are not pure Xenos from a certain point of view since they were breed from Big Chaps DNA. Therefore Facehuggers and Xenos will be different?
Edit1: I mean I don't want to sound like a purist but I would love to have original deisgns such as Big Chap and facehuggers, I understand that a new movie demands new merchandise for marketing purposes so variants and modifications are needed I just wish that they would have keep or stayed to true to the originals.
I very much prefer the nails. If I were to guess, they probably discussed WHY it seems so difficult to remove one, and honestly that's fair....mostly. If you had a couple of people to grab fingers and uncoil the tail, it shouldn't be too difficult. Assuming it's weight to strength ratio is similar to most Earth creatures.
They probably thought of a way to better explain how they are hard to get off.
I always preferred the idea that facehuggers are inordinately strong for their size beyond the realm of human understanding. The idea of tearing the face off is pretty awesome though, and I imagine we will see that. I would have thrown a barbed schlong in for good measure.
Visually, the nails are awesome.
I imagine with Marichek, the colonists said f**k it and just yanked it off hoping to at least keep another one from being born and got fantastically gory results.
Hmmm......a prequel project suddenly doesn't sound so bad for Hadley's Hope, at least visually.
