It's not fair to TOTALLY hate an idea, when you have not seen the movie. Sure, you can expect or "envision" it to look stupid, but to have not seen the film and "close the book" of your opinion right now...you're not giving the film/filmmakers a chance.
I'm not telling people to change their minds...but to keep their minds open, especially, before the release of the movie.
Again, the cycle of the Aliens can be "expanded", because it's Hollywood/Science-Fiction. We are not dealing with a non-fiction species, such as a chicken, which we know more facts about, because other than being real, we have studied them. We of course, know more about chickens than the Aliens, because there are people who spend their lives raising them. Aliens on the other hand, again, all you are getting is what you see in the films. You are not following the life of an Alien 24/7. We are only seeing what is mainly crucial for the plot.
What you have seen in the Alien movies does not mean that is what SHOULD be known about them.
Just because of what Hollywood established with the Alien cycle in previous movies, does NOT mean that is ALL we should know/learn about this species. Why "close the book" on the Alien cycle, when it's obvious that there can be MORE added. Hopefully, whatever is added is logical and makes sense to the cycle.
But to respond to this regurgitation method as just "stupid" or "will look stupid", without seeing the film, is only an opinion that can only be made, just because of the idea, but have yet to see the execution on-screen. Which is fine to think it will be stupid, but don't try to convince others it IS stupid, before the release date.
What about all the Alien comics, novels and videogames...should all of those ideas of the Alien cycle mentioned in them, be thrown out the window, just because you have not seen them on film? They don't count?
