Thanks Mate you are awesome!!!

Adam, how about,If you can build Ash, why do you need an Alien? lol

​@@Storm-lg4mxBecause it's completely new form of life, strange and undiscovered?

Because the seeming “illogic” of it, the alien nature, is what makes it so disturbing. And real. The “Queen” and laying eggs made it more familiar and understandable, which makes it less scary. The unknown is far more terrifying. This also makes the Alien able to reproduce alone. A single Alien can make as many more of its kind as it needs/wants depending on the size of the population it is amongst. It doesn’t need another of its species.

It's because Cameron's vision of Aliens differ from Scott's. Giger never design them as a hive creatures, and queen was never a part of their reproduction. Following original vision, I, personally think that calling the facehugger incubators “eggs” is a bit inconsistent - it gives the impression that something could have laid them. What if, instead of classifying them as something typically biological, we aligned them more closely with a flora, a fungal structure? It seems more logical that the “resin” grows like mycelium, transforming or assimilating organic remnants, and that the “eggs” simply bloom from the newly formed organism - like flower buds. After all, the way the “eggs” open resembles flowers unfolding more than a classic hatching. In this perspective, the process of mutating an organism into an “egg” becomes more comprehensible, as it resembles a form of transformation rather than literally turning a dude into an egg - which, let’s be honest, sounds a bit absurd.

@@RT-fx2qn I get the idea, but this seems extra convoluted to me. In that regard, the idea of spores infecting humans, as in Convenent, looks a lot more "sensible" to me than the whole cycle Scott had in mind in the first place.

@@juetroll I get what you’re saying, but Giger’s original vision had a very different, darker tone. He wanted to portray the Aliens not just as hostile organisms but as something almost ritualistic, part of a cycle of birth and death. Scott may have struggled to fully introduce this in the first film, or maybe he wasn’t entirely sure how to approach it. But this concept aligns much more with the eerie, organic aesthetic of Giger’s work. In that sense, it goes beyond just infection - it’s closer to cosmic horror or an eldritch manifestation. And considering we still don’t know the true origins of the Xenomorphs or the black goo, the mystery makes it so much more interesting.

Where do you think this was from?

I thought of this scene as Ripley questioning wether Ash is who he says he is.

Dont really know i bought the game

She was great in Witches of Eastwick too, playing another hysterical character. Her big scene is hilariously disgusting. Good flick that deserves far more love.

There not repeated clips at all...they are different takes of the same scenes. You know, " Take 1 "....." Do it again, take 2.."
