is the queen face hugger thing canon? How did queen get in aliens?
if not whats the problem with a dominant warrior molting into a queen, makes more sense to me.
can u give me an answer Sil and Robotpo
Both alien and Alien 3 had a lone warrior alien and neither even started the process of molting into a queen, although there was no queen present and no hive in either scenario. Sure in alien 3 ripley had a queen in her, but there was a time lapse in which the alien didn't know that. (until it confronted her and killed clemmens..etc.) So during that time it should have been starting the molting process but didn't.
In Alien Resurrection, the queen and all her phases were documented and nothing extraordinary other than laying eggs was noticed or else it would have got their attention. Thus no vomiting phase witnessed/no viable way of reproducing before starting the egg laying process.
In aliens the queen was most likely the result of a warrior alien egg morphing someone to get a queen bearing egg or the result of one of the people they sent back out to the derelict spacecraft being impregnated by a queen embryo. But surely not any molting.
But this is Predalien, not a warrior alien.
Also, the reason they've added all this new stuff is because this is basically a prequel to those early ideas. Alien hasn't happened yet so from a story and continuity standpoint it gives them free reign to run with this new creature and its life cycle.
In the original Salerno draft most of you don't know that the
Predalien died on page 3 of that script. It was a
regular drone alien that was doing all of these new methods of the reproduction system. Which to me just showed how Salerno had no grasp of what the hell he was doing.
So to me by changing it to the Predalien it works and doesn't f**k up continuity. Think if it would've been a regular alien doing these things? It wouldn't have made sense.
At least that's where I stand with it.
