Egg Morphing or Queen?

[Snowdog]

Both. I like the idea of a hive. So when there is a queen around she is responsible for the survival of the group. But when a drone is wondering off like in the first alien. Then for the creature to survive and create it's own clan it needs to use egg morphing.

I admire what Winston did with the Queen, but I don't like the design much myself.

i suppose it doesn't quite have that giger flair to it.

Ironically, considering that the Queen was designed after the study of Giger Paintings.

And Giger said it was designed just as he would have done.

you know, he may have said that, but i'm highly skeptical of the claim that he would have designed her the same way. after perusing quite a lot of giger's art, i'm quite convinced a giger-designed queen would be less insectoid, and a lot more erotic. more like this:

Giger says as Giger says.

Then again not everything he does is so openly sexual. His Puma-Alien design had effeminate lips were the only really sexual thing about it, and that was Fincher's idea.

Fair enough that it would have been different than what Cameron made, but Giger did like Cameron's design, and Cameron is a good designer himself.

The T-800 still being one of my favorites.

The Queen looks very good IMHO, granted that is subjective.

She is FAR better than some of the other takes on the Alien. Like the fleshy AR Aliens.

T800 and T1000

agreed. i do actually quite like the queen design.

There was a nice comparison of the Queen's hands with those of Giger's Alien Monster IV.

For that poll I just wanted to say that The Predalien reproduction thing is not just for predaliens its for any juvenile queen supposedly, at least thats what the brothers said but it still upsets me cause if you don't watch the extra stuff on the dvd you would never know that and it upsets me cause now im afraid any predalien in upcoming movies might have this little trait when THEY SHOULDN'T!!!! because there is NO good reason a Normal Predalien should have this ability unless it has something to do with the predator reproductive cycle which it does not which you find out when reading the books. so eggs or queen or baby queen would all be fine but NO MORE Predalien queens unless we get a movie showing a full grown one in a hive all hung up like in Aliens to have some explanation and in the same movie having a NON queen hybrid.

interesting. it's not quite there, but i can see a definite similarity.

If something is inspired by something else, it doesn't really need to be quite there.

Agreed 100%
