Still though, I do think there's an argument for the Queen being on a vengeful warpath at that point.

There is credence in the fact that maybe Bishop was simply in the Queen's way. Apart from that, we still haven't seen an Alien directly target an android. And Call's example is still a good one. There's also Isolation, albeit a video game, but the Alien still wasn't interested in androids.

The original Alien is to be considered the black sheep of the family then, hiding cowardly on board the escape ship.

But i guess subtle effimacy over time is not a phenomenon the human race holds exclusive.

Maybe its downfall came with its sexual awakening aka Ripleys pants?


Anyway, Attaque donc toujour!

I think it was Matt Hatton who mentioned on our podcast some thoughts about how the Alien was supposed to think the crane looked similar to it/the Neomorph and think it was a threat and go for it.

When in the films?

Ash never got attacked. Bishop never got attacked. Call was specifically left alone despite falling into a pool with them.

We've seen them attack synthetics in the past too.

Fair points, but if Aliens can tell androids from humans - which they seemingly can - surely they can tell a crane is a machine?

They knew what lifts were.
The Queen stood there watching Ripley use one minutes before. She learned.

QuoteAnd how to cut the power.
Even assuming this wasn't an accident, they'd been alive for 3 weeks by that point. Protomorph was minutes old.

I took the crane attack to be another example of how this early version of the Alien is more animalistic and less intelligent. Its not as calculating as the original creature because David hasn't finished perfecting his little science project yet.
