So it really is the Alien version of an Indominus Rex?
The "Rogue" in the old EU? Yeah, pretty much.
I will say that Sideshow's "Alien King" statue is visually interesting, even if I don't care for the concept that much.
QuoteIs there any EU concept that isn't so terrible that even you would reject it? Seriously.
I wasn't a big fan of the super-mutating Royal Jelly stuff in the Colonial Marines comic series, and then 'Prometheus' happened (and then Fire and Stone happened) and pretty much made it "canon" via the Black Goo, soooo here we are.
I think one of the 'Predators' sequel comics had a four-armed Predator for some reason? That was some wacky shit.
But there really isn't anything I've outright "rejected". I'm pretty tolerant of the Alien series having goofy shit I sometimes don't like, because there's a little something for everybody and if anything it's more "realistic" - real life is chock-full of distasteful stuff people don't like or doesn't make sense or is just plain stupid, so I don't mind when it happens in fiction. I'd much rather have authors and artists take chances and risk a swing-and-a-miss but still be creative, rather than "playing it safe" and letting things get stale.
I should re-read the older EU stuff and see if my tastes have changed, because there's a ton of it that I haven't read in years and I'm possibly basing my opinions on a rose-tinted memory from the last time I read it or whatever.
