Shaw's Baby - Face [SPOILER]

Actually it's on the glass nearest to the camera, so the wrong half of the med pod to even give any facial reflection I reckon. Might just be a random shape

Interesting. Is that an eyeball? Bec its gigantic in proportions to the rest of it. Id just like to be the first to say that RS and terrifying alien creature births might become analogous to michael bay and unnecessary explosions.

Unless it has her face as a child :-/

I just hope I don't end up moaning, "OH BROTHER!" at the end of this film. All this "tentacle" hoakiness is turning me off. I can't believe RS would turn the ending of this film into the cheap "species" crap.

It's Shaw's reflection in the glass, genius.

Yeah I'm tending toward that being a reflection of Shaw's face as well... if you watch the full clip you can see some slits on the bulky part of the creature, that may be nostrils or closed eyes.

when i watch the moving gif, i see it's the tentacles moving, and in that pause the way those tentacles are give you the impression of a face.

If you see other images you can tell the eyes are on the side, this is just a optical illusion in the glass.

Look at this one... [img]http://www.scimix.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/New-Purple-Octopus.jpg[/img] And this concept work (unrelated) [img]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs39/i/2009/002/e/f/THe_mad_octopus_v_2_by_ikke998.jpg[/img] If you look at the top one of these two, the baby and you take away the tentacles then whats left does look like the head of a Grey Alien minus the mouth.... Then again what we could be seeing is this... [img]http://www.explore-science-fiction-movies.com/images/alien-children-squid.jpg[/img] Maybe it was David 8 who gets Shaw pregnant by his finger.... "big things come from small beginings" [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OW6wa7cAFBY/TFLs2zw4scI/AAAAAAAAAjE/jdHuAPjHPfk/s1600/piglet+squid.jpg[/img]

yeah its Shaws head in reflection..you can see her hair, too..

If it was Shaw's face, it would be there the whole time - it only appears as the creatures is rotated by the clamp/arm. Watch the full GIF: [img]http://www.geeksofdoom.com/GoD/img/2012/04/2012-04-09-animatedworm_533.gif[/img] It's not Shaw's face.

now that i look closely again at the movie one, i see an anime girl face :s Hentai after all :o

Watching that gif this so called "face" moves along with the moving dome of glass and therefore the reflection angle is all wrong, whatever it is it isn't a reflection of shaws or squiddys face, probably just a trick of the light.

Uh oh, this is [i]Three Men And A Baby[/i] all over again

I thinks its just a smudge on the glass of the pod. It moves because the camera is rotating. Between perspiration, blood, and squid baby juices, i would expect to see some smudges. Best look is the video tho. You can also see the squids mouth and a beady eye.

I agree with bloodyacid: The tentacles just are NOT doing it for me. I truly hope they have something in store that kicks this idea up a notch or two. Alien was [i]somewhat[/i] believable. At least the thing had feet and hands in a terrestrial setting. Tentacles do not exist on any animal that lives on land, and it just isn't scary. It's as if they decided since they couldn't match the shock value of the original, they'd just shoot for weird instead. Tentacles on land just seems a bit too much like a History channel special, or a George Lucas nightmare. A giant cuttlefish in the lake? At least it's somewhat scary. But on land, it's just a steaming pile of slime.

Well again i think what we are looking at is Ridley borrowing some of the elements from the Orginal Alien Script the Star Beast.... And i think we will see a end product that will combine both those elements and that of Gigers Xeno.... Because the Squid we see here and the Tentacle monster bare no resemblance to the Xeno at all, then again a Elephant Shares a lot of DNA with a Mouse.

Whatever it is that comes out of Shaw it looks to me like it would taste good fried up with salt & pepper batter, which is not a good look for this film :-(

Well if the Baby is Cuddles..... Then can we call the Tentacle Monster.... Squidzilla ;) [img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Mt65ndt7swI/TD4OSdDrdoI/AAAAAAAAAL0/1sIL0EmRvEQ/s1600/squidzilla.jpg[/img] Maybe thats what it grows into?

That IS Shaw's face. You can see her hair in the reflection as well.

If you're stuck for an idea for a creature design, give it tentacles!! Oldest, most cliched trick in the book, which is all the more worrying after Shaw's calamari baby!! :-(
