Why Alien: Romulus pits the Xenomorph against a younger crew

[Nightmare Asylum]

We've had it explicitly confirmed that the only damage to that particular Alien's head is the scar/crack at the front of the dome.

The entire back of this xeno's head has been blown up, apparently by the explosive bullet that shot into it. But the xeno is still alive, it's regenerating it's wounds, it's immortal.

Well, that's the fourth time you've spammed that message here, and it's still incorrect.

You just don't want to believe it. Time will tell. The xeno's regeneration ability is an idea that original Alien was trying to use. The regeneration ability would give the protagonists an intense sense of fear and oppression.

You don't have to believe me, you might not even want to. But I've seen the movie twice and can tell you you're wrong.

Twice? I thought the test screenings only happened once or are you able to attend more?

[Mike’s Monsters]

I haven't attended any test screenings and have watched it in the comfort of my home.

[The Cruentus]

Interesting

Spoiler

I thought it was test screenings because you posted about what kind of effects were going to be used and that it was unfinished (for the cgi part)

[Mike’s Monsters]

I saw it months before the test screening. Shortly after Ridley saw it.

Brag!

Having the opportunity, can't help it!

Are you still going to see it in the cinema?, I can't imagine the movie was fully complete back then.

[Mike’s Monsters]

It was the entire movie back then, nothing was missing from the overall narrative. Just with unfinished effects, temp sounds and music. I'll definitely be seeing in theaters, hopefully even attending the premiere if I can make it happen. If they did anything heavy in the reshoots, that would be what is different. But I'm not expecting much was changed, if at all. I'm assuming it was just additional footage pickups, which is mostly the case for reshoots.

[The Cruentus]

Nice.
If there is anything different, significantly I mean. Are you allowed to state what was changed?(post release of course)

[Mike’s Monsters]

I plan on sharing all that stuff in August. Got some fun stories to tell.
