"Except that egg transformation could have been to get a Queen, meaning it would only need to be a case of one"
Takes longer to get any hosts...we don't know how long it took AR's Queen to go it could have ben a week
What does time matter? Does the Predator or National Guard know where it is? No. It can't have been long for the colony in '
Aliens', because they would have sent out a transmission about what was going on.
Quote"Or, more likely, they'll get immediately swarmed by facehuggers, automatically doing away with that potential human threat and increasing the Aliens' numbers."
Which would be followed by the ship being destroyed...i think they'd notice signal for help in time
unless there was five humans wherever they were going to land then that'd work
Who said anything about them being on a ship? Why would nature plan for being on a spaceship? Who in their right mind would wander down into that same place, after seeing so many such traps being sprung?
All of this seems to boil down to the Aliens allegedly needing a faster, quicker method to replace the one they've already got. Play the Canon Game in my signature and you'll see why that sort of logic interferes with canon.
If the directors had made no statement about the canon, then this would never matter. They were the ones who kept saying it'll adhere to the rules and it isn't, when these same new ideas are applied to what we saw in the other films.
If the Alien could do this, then the Fury and Nostromo ones would have been implanting like crazy. The fact remains that
neither of them ever did that.
Yes, I like the concept. It fits with the sort of things Aliens do. It could even look great. What it won't do is fit with what we have seen them doing in the other stories.
The directors came up with this idea because they thought Queens 'need' an advance army. They basically came up with a solution to a problem which was never there in the first place. When you do that sort of a thing, you need to start thinking, "OK, so what prevented this character from doing that in Film Number X?"
