Damn, why does this thead still exist?
Its getting painful to read. Diehard Alien fans cant believe the Bro's actually had the balls to put in yet another reproduction cycle. And, if you think about it ... there have been plenty.
Alien. The discovery of the eggs, no Queen was introduced. These were, supposedly, "engineered". Facehuggers impregnated a Human host resulting in an Alien.
Aliens. Discovery of a nest. Introduction of the Queen and a ( so called ) hive-mind. Queen was said to be the "main-cause" of everything. No longer were they enginereed, they were bred.
AlienĀ³. A Queen Facehugger is introduced. No longer are they "natural" born Queens. They simply burst out of a human thanks to impregnation of this special Facehugger. Also, a facehugger hugs a dog/ox creating another Xenomorph Hybrid. The creature kept its Alien appearance yet walked on 4 legs and was extremely agile.
Alien:R. Cloning. Using DNA from the deceased Ripley they succesfully created a Hybrid Queen, one capable of giving birth to a completed Hybrid. It's also told that Xenomorphs will kill there own species in order to escape, survive or, in case of the Newborn, gain supremacy.
Now, these movie HAVE shown different reproduction/impregnation/bursting methods. All from different species. Is it SO hard to understand that AVP:R is introducing its OWN regurgitating method? Is that SO hard to accept? For some, yeah.. for others its something new and fresh. Its a bold move by the directors and I sure hope it turns out well.

This isn't that it's an adaptation, this is blatantly disregarding existing information. Saying they're 'adaptable' doesn't mean shit and it certainly doesn't mean we should remove any limitations as to what they can do, which is exactly what people - And the Bros - are doing.
Adaptable does mean something SiL. In Aliens it adapted itself. In Alien 3 it adapted itself to a freaking dog/ox! In A:R the Queen even adapted itself to it could give BIRTH to a NEW species. That somehow worked fine for you but now the Predalien looks like shit because it looks like a Predator? Gimme a break. But no, muppet SiL still believes Aliens dont adapt. Disregarding existing information? Dude, where the f**k have you been huh? Cameron ( from a certain point of view ) f**ked up what Scott tried to tell us in HIS version of Alien. Suddenly these Xenomorphs werent enginereed, they were bred. The only thing Cameron did with consistency was showing that a Human host WAS indeed needed. The more Alien movies arrived the more they f**ked up whatever Scott did
No hard feelings SiL but this bitching about such things is getting out of hand.
Certain changes are required especially in certain situations. The Predalien doesnt have an egg-sack so an alternative way of breading HAS to be found. Hence the vomitting. I'm pretty much OKAY with the idea, it COULD have been better though but im also
GLAD they didnt bring back the Queen yet again to show her JUST shittting out eggs. I'm glad they didnt went with the Predalien hugging humans. Imagine that huge moffo sitting on someones face.
