I prefer much more an Humanoid Queen than a Bug Queen. A Sentient Xenomorph Being absolutely terrifies me, in a good way.

A Xenomorph Queen with the intelligence of Queen Taramis, from 'Conan, The Destroyer', would be amazing.

There will be a new breed of xenomorphs, the Alpha.

I wonder if they got that inspiration from BigDave, who had a topic titled Alien Alpha.

 The below image is actually a variant cover by Ryan Brown, and unfortunately my favorite will not be in the first Marvel Alien, which is illustrated by Salvador Larroca.

Such a pity.

Too sharp details of the xenomorphs and the blue background are something that I would have been avoided.

I would have blurred and darkened the monsters, in a lovecraftian way. What one can imagine from lesser detail could be a lot scarier that what one sees in spotlight. Rust and bones, decay, biomechanical Alien.

And there is no point to add the hammerpede, bad call, even if you use the Prometheus blue.

So, if Marvel want to get to the spirit of Alien, they have to get rid of the glitter and shine they are using for their superheroes. That's my opinion.

OK, we have some text samples of the new Marvel Alien. I have the feeling that the writing and the pictures don't exactly fit in the best way, except for, maybe the last image posted below, that's more in the spirit of Alien and resembling an image of Death itself, as portayed in medieval religious art.

An insatiable mass of writhing, gnashing death, hunting for any sprig of uncorrupted life.

Beetles on the corpse of creation.

Her eyes are blind, cloudy and still. Her breasts unburdened by breath or heartbeat.

Here we are few years later now! Hopefully I am making myself clear here:

In the film, it would be seen as a sort of metamorphosis as it looks as if the human victims are somehow transforming.  Or one could just go back to the original idea in the script of the cocoon transforming into a spore, which makes the spore almost like a chrysalis.

It wasn't as if Ridley would be that specific about what was going on but the alien beast is supposed to be an alien life form rather than just exactly a humanoid oversized insect, He went with the idea of showing human bodies being eaten away alive by the cocoon material putting Dallas in a state of agony, as the spore shell grew around the humans' remains and so this would result in the alien young devoured the humans from within their shells. I don't know what exactly what these alien young were and how they were created. We do see maggots crawling over Brett's body and sludge moving over his head, so something of that might as well have been the alien young.

Then online people created this 'Eggmorphing' term, perhaps it goes back as far as 2007 online, (I probably get it confused with 'EggMcMuffin')  it wasn't used in the old Usenet newsgroup and it seemed to have more to do with people who were who were Aliens fans saying how ridiculous the idea was, basing their idea on what James Cameron erroneously thought in an interview about the "human to egg" stage was all about the alien beast having "biological properties take up residence in a human being and change it" rather than slowly consume it. I suppose that no one was really that bothered about what Ridley was thinking anyway but I did what I could to collect the information about Ridley's idea together hoping that others might generally develop a clue.

Yeah the Warriors are iconic,they are in 2nd place for favorites.

Yeah they are.  It's from the Genocide comics where there were two rivals to be the next Queen Mother and they fought for dominance.

I always figured they were two rival broods

wait aren't Praetorians basically xenomorph princesses? anyways favorite xenomorph type...ooh thats a hard one. I kind of like them all....well maybe with the exception of the newborn/hybrid that thing is so fugly that not even the xenomorph queen wanted it.

But If I had choose a specific xenomorph breed it would the Warrior Aliens from ALIENS (1986)

K no one is responding but i played AVP 2010 and Colonial Marines 2013 recently and in the past i played the classic retro games.

Now, i understand That the death of doctor Elizabeth Shaw was inevitable. Since She had sex with the infected doctor Holloway (by the black goo), her days were numbered. David killed Doctor Elizabeth Shaw in the spaceship Prometheus. She was a victim of David's experiment, ordered by Peter Weyland. We all watched in alien covenant the devastating effects of the accelerant in Shaw's body.

Guys this topic i made glitched for me.

I don’t go on this forum, but what I do know about Xenomorphs is that their hierarchy is based on Hymenoptera.

That order includes insects like Ants, Wasps and Bees. (Does not include termites, and Yellowjackets and Hornets are wasps!) These social insects only have queens, because in the nuptial flight the males die after mating, so even if there was a “king” then it wouldn’t live very long. A way there could be a king is if Xenos were based on Termite colonies.

I saw this and wanted to say something scientific.

Oh ok,thanks for the help tho

alien covenant plot:

Group of people get attacked by medium boy with strange sausage for head and big organic boi with big organic sausage btw bad ending

prometheus plot:

Group of people discover tall bald boi which beats them up btw tall bald boi gets attacked by squiddy god

k im doing prequels

I think the King was an unnatural creation in both instances in the comics, outside the comics there is the Kenner Toy and the Statuette (basically combining the Rogue with Giger aesthetics)

I dunno what to say other than i am hurt.RIP

He was my fav character apart from Ripley,he was a good man.

@Xenotaris yeah when i read this just now i was like damn.

Dude,this movie gave me chills as a kid and knowing that some of the actors in one of my favorite movies died just hurts me in the heart man.

damn, RIP Parker

Prometheus had to open somewhere, and what better place than somewhere millions of years ago?

The Covenant opening was a gentle teaser to let us know Weyland had his plans in mind decades before his trip to meet his maker. It also gave us the opportunity to see that the utterly ruthless David endured deep resentment of slavery from his earliest moments.

Covenant opens with a young Weyland and David. Covenant then starts with the ship and Walter. Ultimately rescued by David on the planet he crashed on from Prometheus. The opening is a nod to Prometheus, showing us David's origin, yes? Not trying to be too literal, just curious as to why it was not a part of Prometheus or an opening to it? The confusion is the scene with David in Covenant goes right into the film with Walter....

Thanks!

The large stone sculptures in Prometheus/Covenant are thought to be representations of Engineer Elders. Some might call them gods, but others believe that the true gods (creators of the Engineers) have yet to be seen.

Aliens is set 86 years after the events of Prometheus, so Weyland was long dead. Knowledge of the xenomorph was a tightly controlled secret in the days of Prometheus. So nobody knew about it in Ripley's court martial. Burke had a hunch Ripley was telling the truth, which is why he sent a team to check out the derelict. Everyone else in the court martial thought Ripley was crazy, or they just didn't care.

Space is BIG. 400 surveyed worlds is nothing in the vastness of space.

Maybe you saw this: https://lwlies.com/articles/alien-gender-politics-ellen-ripley-joan-lambert/

I hope you don't mind me asking questons, but I saw the first movied in 1979 and no one else I knew wanted to. I have been hooked ever since and my wife is about to divorce me. The first thiing that struck me about the movie was that the surper structure looked very female, the mother ship was called Mother, and all the men got killed. And the eggs, gestation in human host, etc.

So like others I was confused by Prometheus and Covenant. Even in those the female is the one who survives after all the men die (until David gets his way)-who is a "male" artificial.

Re: Engineers. They look like the crowd that got infected by David from the ship with the pathogen. So they are so called Gods because of the large stone sculptures around? Mad them in his image?

Re: Aliens. I know it was written before Prometheus, but why didn't the staff grilling Ripley even know about the aliens? Their founder just got lost in space? "In over 400 recorded worlds" and they didnt have Prometheus in that? No messages transmitted back to the company from the disaster?

Thanks
