This one is inspired by debate spawned from a separate thread of mine.In there was a debate regarding the scare factor of the newborn alien or lack thereof.So I've created this so we can discuss the ups and downs of the newborn.What you like about it,what you hate about it,what you'd change about it.Have at it guys.

I was ok with the Newborn. The expressive eyes really set it apart from the Xeno. It almost seemed like it was trying to talk as it died. The only thing I didn't like was its over all posture and it seemed to lumber around rather slowly.

Indeed.  It was very quick and strong, but mostly off screen.

It runs around in the video game but that's not the same.

The xenomorph is a lot quieter ther for more deadly.Plus they have a much higher body count.

You are right though about the amount of xenomorph killed.

The newborn is probably as close to a ghost that you will come in the Alien franchise as far as the color goes, it was just too far away from how they looked before. AR got the Xenos wrong because they looked like someone had used plastic bags to make as their skin just look when they are in the room and the scientist is pushing that freeze button.

 

The look of the Newborn wasn’t the worst thing, it was how it behaved. It was almost that they made it cute on purpose. Having new monsters isn’t bad per se but this one didn’t work. For example, the alternate Fifield monster that wasn’t used looked good in its design and it was sort of new. Xenos are supposed to be scary, not cute.

 

“The thing sniffs like a dog, and moves like Jabba the Hut.“

 

Ha ha ha! :D Thanks Starlogger, that was fun as hell. How would a mix of Jabba the Hutt and a Xeno look? 

 

Big Dave: Thanks for posting the link to the on Youtube. Either the monster at 0:20 or the one at 0:46 (minus the hair) is my favorite (I cannot decide really). Giving it hair is a bad move since it makes it look too much like a fly. You can see that flies have hair if you take a picture of it and zoom it in a lot. Obviously I don’t know if that was intentional or not but it is an interesting thing to notice nevertheless.

 

Tiago_miami_la: I wonder how the new-born picks its nose? I can’t really see any well defined nostril on it. ;)

the Rez hybrid ripley alien was just gross and visceral. Jeunet doesn't have an eye for the type of realism of alien verse and at the time I think the film wanted to undo what they did to fincher. Unfortunately the producers added the wrong type of artist to fulfill  joss whedons script. Not to mention that joss whedon is too light and comical as well. They were just two talents at the time who didn't have the range for an alien film. 

In regards to the new Xeno, i worry that we're too used to monsters altogether and that the set up is really the tension build up and characterization. I would love it if Ridley tried out some of Alfonso cuaron's long take action scenes as a good counter to his errors in Prometheus where the action was too spliced and cut rate. I think the new alien leaked photos look good but it's all about how it plays out.

Yeah when it squished Distephano's head, then watched his brain slop onto the floor, it looked just like a puppy video. :)
