Alien: Romulus Catch-All Thread

[Corporal Hicks]

I think the chestburster with proper arms and legs was important for the mirrored body language in the father/son exchange between David and the chestburster in the Covenant (and if you need to explain it away rationally, David's early biological strain is born like that but the more refined biomech ones aren't for whatever reason), but yeah, outside of the specific circumstances that Covenant presents, I think the more traditional snake-like chestburster is the way to go for the traditional Alien.

In all fairness, when the burster emerges it is in the snakelike appearance but quickly sheds the skin for the more imp-like appearance.

Yep yep. Feels very in line in that way with just how rapidly the Aliens gestate and grow in the film.

The Oscar winning chestburster, Hollywood actors can't do it better

We have had a chestburster, bellyburster, backburster, and mouth burster. There really is only one area left...

Actually it would be cool as farrik if twin xenos wormed through the legs, so you see the buldge in skin moving as they prepare to birth.

Yikes that would be nasty.

Indeed, but very Giger and Alien.

When you start classy the only place left is bottom of the barrel schlock.

Ass-bursters is for Alien knockoffs, not Alien movies.

I just meant the sentiment itself.

Dreamcatchers did have the Byrums which exited through the ass.

The military even nicknames it "the Ripley", after "that broad from the Alien movies".

And yet look at any franchise that starts good and goes on for several decades. Inevitably they reach to those lower places for easy thrills.

I don't know Tremors made it work with A.S.S. Blasters.

Is Tremors an Alien movie?
