Why So Ignorant

Okay, heres the thing - I have posted something on two other Alien themed forums that is an intelligent and valid point. Unsurprisingly, the IQ level elsewhere makes 85 look like Einstein. So to discuss it more intelligently (I hope lol) I will post it here. Many seem to view AVP and AVPR as non canon, despite the fact that until Fox says otherwise they are canon. Also, I personally think it is ignorant to discount said films because of their reputation without intelligently looking at the ideas they have brought to the table, which IMO validate their position as canon. In the dvd commentary of avpr it clearly states that the predalien is in fact an adolescent queen alien, a "princess" if you like, a mid stage between chestburster and adult queen. It is also clearly stated that this mid stage was devised to address the issue of the Queen as designed by James Cameron, the issue of which is raised in the anchorpoint essays. through direct implantation the "princess" is able to manifest a small brood, allowing it to safely continue its maturation into an adult queen. The ridged head aliens only appear in aliens and avpr, both films show a newly fledged hive coming into being, with no direct evidence that the aliens populating the hive were born from facehuggers. AVPR suggests that the ridged head aliens may in fact be born from a Princess during direct implantation (bellybursters) and the the smoothed head aliens ARE born from facehuggers (chestbursters). I say "ARE", because in all the films that have featured the smooth head alien, they have been born from facehuggers. Thus because they are implanted by different methods and have slightly different behaviours they are two castes - warriors and drones. Of course there is the whole Weyland Industries/Yutani Corporation element, Yutanis reverse engineering of Predator technology, the O.W.L.F., the foreshadowing of the possible Prometheus ancient astronaut element with the Predators etc.

Good post neurion, your closing comments are interesting regarding Prometheus explaining the great mystery of alien it could just be that your left with more questions than direct answers.

FOUND PROOF TODAY THAT SCOTT HIMSELF AS EARLY AS 1984 SAID THE HOME WORLD OF THE XENOMORPH WAS MARS, THAT HE WAS THE LAST SURVIVOR OF THAT PLANET, AND THEN IN 1999 CHANGED HIS MIND AND SAID MARS WAS TOO CLOSE TO EARTH BUT THAT NEVER THE LESS THEY WERE DESIGNED AND CREATED FOR THE SOLE PORPOSES OF BREEDING AND WAR. "The sequel should explain what the alien is and where it comes from. That will be tough because it will require dealing with other planets, worlds, civilizations. Because obviously the alien did come from some sort of civilization. The alien was presented, really, as one of the last survivors of Mars- a planet named after the god of war. The alien may be one of the last descendants of some long-lost self-destructed group of beings". –1984 Interview with Danny Peary "I always wanted to go back and make an Alien 5 or 6, where we find out where they came from and go there and answer the question, who are they. Mars is too close so they can’t be, they can’t be gods of war, but the theory was, in my head was, this was an aircraft carrier, a battlewagon of a civilisation, and the eggs were a cargo which were essentially weapons. -1999 Commentary from Alien 20th Anniversary DVD

As far as "canon" goes, I daresay Scott was free to do whatever the hell he wanted in that regard and would discount anything and everything from the AVP spinoffs. I agree with others in the hope that this story will ask more questions than it answers.

There's an old saying the more light you use to illuminate the darkness the more darkness you reveal.
