Quote from: Mike's Monsters on Dec 20, 2023, 06:33:58 PMIMDb can be inaccurate too. Sometimes false information gets put up until it's verified by the actual source. Many actors and crew have to update their own IMDb pages themselves. So just know that everything may not be accurate at this moment there. And also that many haven't updated and added that film to their resume yet because it's not out. So IMDb won't paint a full picture at this moment in time, and may not be a perfect reference until closer to or after release.

The Protomorph is a species of pseudo-Xenomorph created by the Fulfremmen, including the Deacon.

He was going to play Janek's twin white brother Jenak. Someone else also put Danny Webb as Morse on there.Another wag (wasn't me) put Aaron Percival on Alien: Covenant's (aka Alien: Paradise Lost) Wikipedia page. He of course was going to play Corporal Hicks.
Quote from: XenopediaIn 2183, Percival was stationed in Garrison System Delta of the Crestus Garrison Systems and placed in command of the 4th Recon Battalion of the 7th Marine Garrison, operating in the Outer Rim Territories and the Frontier.

Is that from a comic or a book?
Quote from: Immortan Jonesy on Dec 20, 2023, 07:02:46 PMI think it must be from the Free League RPG.
Quote from: Mike's Monsters on Dec 20, 2023, 06:56:33 PMI'm sure this is official naming, but this is sooooo close to the same name that it looks nitpicky on the surface. I wish they'd use a different term or something. I feel like an uneducated casual fan when it comes to some of these naming conventions. I thought they were called Neomorphs? Or am I completely misunderstanding.

Or am I completely misunderstanding.Protomorphs = includes the Trilobite and Deacon, created by the Fulfremmen.Neomorphs = the creatures spawned by spores in Covenant; they have since made other appearances.Praetomorphs = Xenomorph variant created by David. Possibly the first successful iteration of an artificially-created Xenomorph.Xenomorphs = duh.Hope this helps!
Quote from: The Cruentus on Dec 20, 2023, 08:19:36 PMI think protomorph was coined by the folks as that sci fi magazine. Really speaking Xenomorph is something that should probably not be used as an official name for the species, since its just a phrase to mean strange-shape or something.

Xenomorph XX121, then, if we're being technical.
Quote from: Mike's Monsters on Dec 20, 2023, 08:39:56 PMNow I know that lost feeling my girlfriend has when I start talking about the design changes between the first 4 films. I get the technicalities, but I think they may be too technical for my simple brain. Feeling like a filthy causal over here today!
Quote from: The Cruentus on Dec 20, 2023, 08:42:30 PMThat is just a designation by W-Y researchers though, still not a species name. Its not an issue, since such designation is expected from scientists studying a specimen, but its laymen's term name should be better than just "xenomorph".
