If it turned out the Alien was made from the reanimated DNA of Emannuel Lewis, you all would make excuses for it.

This forum has gone to hell.

Do any of the Alien movies remotely suggest that xeno's eat or need to eat... and that their victims are consumed?

It seems that you are not applying the same sense of logic to the earlier movies....

Webster is, sadly, not a rebuttal.

Should I really be putting Alien 3's hackwork script and its, IMO, dodgy monster before the original film's logic and script?  I'd rather not.

I don't recall it ever actually eating someone, just mauling them instead of a quick inner mouth attack...

I don't remember it actually eating much either, but every time I've tried to watch any cut of that film since 1992 or so I've fallen asleep.

It spends half it's time chewing and crunching on them well after it's killed them. Ripley even has to distract it away from a corpse with a torch it's so enthusiastically snacking.

There we have what?  Me not caring about Alien 3's choices versus the original Alien?  Yes, absolutely; on that score I am guilty as charged, and happily so.

Even if I did care about what 3 chose to do versus the first film and why it should apparently bear down on Prometheus as writ law - I still don't see a signpost that the dog alien was eating anyone to grow.  It never had to before.  It lived to kill, etc.

During the final chase.. one of the prisioners turns around the corner and finds the Dog Alien nom om nom nom nom-ing a prisioner.
