3 different mutations

Hello guys, here's an opinion that merely states the obvious - but I still think it makes sense to post it, because I haven't seen it put down in this systematic fashion: It seems that the trailers have now hinted at 3 different mutations suffered by 3 different humans... previously: 1. the quick aging (in the aging guy) 2. the agility, swiftness and ability to climb walls like an animal (in the mohawk guy) and now also: 3. the elongated limbs and the oval shaped head (in the new wrestler guy) ... that all end up being distinctive traits of the Xenomorph (parts of the "alien DNA"), which indicates that during the movie they will be somehow mixed together, hence originating our beloved creature. Would you agree?

I get the pointing out part, it´s the concluding part of your post, that I don´t agree with: [quote]...which indicates that during the movie they will be somehow mixed together, hence originating our beloved creature. Would you agree?[/quote]

Could it not be just different stages of the same mutation. Perhaps the end result is something akin to the xeno we all know and love but sufficiently differently? We know Ridley has stated that he wants to move away from the original xeno but from what we've see there are definitive similarities. Not sold on the olds guy being one of the mutations.

I think the mutations are a simple indication of what kind power the Earthlings will face. But our beloved friend which we call Xeno, is a mutation of a ALIEN origin, but given a new form courtesy of Kane's dna. Test tube mischief or selective breeding, the end will be the same. You can keep your my shares, just get me off this God forsaken rock ASAP!!! On a totally different note: I never like the idea of leaving a cargo bay doors/ramp open when the team has already disembark. I makes sense if there are sentries at the post but not if I'm visiting a foreign land much less world.

@Visualizer: fair enough. @Snorkelbottom: just because you don't like the idea, it doesn't mean it won't come true. Will all due respect, "NO" is the kind of line of thought that my 8-year-old nephew has stopped using already some time ago. @Mekya-Tek on the +Kane point: sure. Don't want to be insisting, but I just find it hard to believe that 3 different mutations Xenomorph-like are only a coincidence. But yeah, maybe it's just me and my belief in Occam's Razor.
