Sorry, gameover...must have dozed off... could you copy-paste your response...? When I left yesterday, we were at page 14... now, we are already at page 59... and I am having some trouble keeping up with all the posts...!
I said the Queen never had a chance to use the 'barfing' method because she was in captivity.
Huh... that is pretty flimsy, don't you think...? I mean, you are trying to insert the 'Barfing embryo-laying' into the rationale of the whole scene... She was not conceived, neither by Jim, nor by the following, to have a third RC in AR, and I am sure Perez dialogue with Wren and Gediman specifically stated she would start laying eggs, not even remotely implying she had a previous RC before that...which we know she didn't, from AVP, Aliens, etc...
It is a bit much having one Alien eggmorghing, then having a Queen laying the eggs for two more movies, then add a new unnecessary and quite ridiculous cycle on top of that...I thought you said you had 'demonstrated' it... you know you require proof, that's why I presented the dialogue scene in AR, as well as previous movies, to show you there was no prior RC before the Egg-laying one...
Jim Cameron will like this one, I can assure that...
Not only Colin destroys his Queen thing, it gives Aliens way more RCs than any creature can possibly have (4 RCs - egg-laying one, barfing one, the mixed one AND mixed barfing-egg laying one, because I don't think being the Predalien a QUeen, it would not go on and start the egg-laying one in a following stage...)So, this RC is an ill-conceived idea from every perspective...This is a franchise, not some new movie with alien creatures like
Alien versus Hunter...
We now have Aliens having 3 RCs (4, with artificial DNA mixing) and this is quite preposterous...
and certainly uncalled for...the RC is onle of the most well-established canons in the Alien movies... Why mess with that...?
The AR one was done in laboratory, the EM was before the Queen one but could also be added to it, in specific cases no Queen is present and nowhere to be found... this BC (Barfing cycle), predictably a preliminary cycle before the Egg-laying one, is overkill... and too canon-sensitive...
If she had the ability to barf embryos, I am sure the scientists like Gediman and Wren would know about it, and use some soldiers to be hosts...The waiting for the cryo-abductees from the Betty proves, beyond doubt, this stage was inexistent in that movie...
Past Alien movies' evidence and logic disavowed this new cycle, not just personal opinions like mine...
