The fact the aliens were making humans breed and creating their own attempts at medicne for whatever the mold was really shows how intelligent these creatures are.

[@alejandrocisneros7442]

I like to think that they were evolving due to the fact of becoming sterile. Their only programming is to procreate but after that was destroyed they are trying alternatives. Am more interested in the mold and the goo with worms, how did he survive drinking that thing.

[@radioactiverat8751]

@@alejandrocisneros7442 I think in a way Humans and Xeno's are more alike than we think. That being centered around both of our species being intelligent. Both humans and as we see xenos will do whatever it takes to peserve our kind. If you get trapped, you'll knaw your arm off to survive. I'm sure the Xeno's have a similar mentality if it serves a greater purpose. Since they were combating a disease, it was. Only the large differences between our species that I can see is that they lack individuality for the most part. All Xeno's in the end serve the bigger picture of their species, as far as I've ever seen. I remember Ripley mentioning to Burke in the second movie how they don't betray each other, but that could have just been her pointing out how the savage aliens were more cooperative than the people were being. I had just never seen many Dark horse comics with Xenomorphs and thought this was particularily interesting as it showed their level of understanding things rather than just being mindless drones even if they seem that way.

[@tiffles3890]

Whats most fascinating about this little tale is that while it may be sci-fi fantasy and just nonsense from a scientific point of view, it truly mirrors exactly what makes humans so dangerous as a species in the real world. We're not the physically strongest, we can be killed (or worse) by several millions of things that exist in nature. But give us breathing space, give us the time and opportunity to think, observe and adapt and slowly we subvert and eventually overpower and dominate the environment around us as well as all our enemies. In ways that would put to shame even the most ingenious viruses. Its not just our higher intelligence but also a certain resilience of spirit (in the best of us) as well as an ever present instinct to conquer and dominate (which times of adversity heighten). To the point that today its far more often a natural predator that has to look over its shoulders for a human stalking it rather than vice versa.

[@vamtheanomaly]

Well I now have a valid explanation as to why Batman always beats meta-humans.

My parents were probably a bit too liberal, but they did their best, and they knew I would probably just sneak Alien crap behind their back if they clamped down too hard. Add to this the fact that my dad always loved Alien-he saw an original screening in 1979 and always said it scared the living shit out of him. So, he takes me to the comic store one day, where I skim this particular comic, the most nightmarish and sickening thing I had ever seen at that point. Naturally, I take it to the clerk to buy it. He skims it, gets to this part, curses, and turns his head away in disgust. He says I’m too young. Seeing this, my dad comes over and asks the problem. The clerk hands him the comic, opened to this part. My dad skims it. “Ah hell, it’s like every other comic he has.” He buys it. This excellent video brought back that memory-one of those odd bonding moments between father and son, all thanks to something deeply and truly vile. Life is strange like that, I suppose.

[@artblack01]

I think you are right in parts of the stories, the second Aliens series and on are really well done and could go along within the universe... the other stories are merely just other encounters and need not reference every other story. I could go on to which stories I agree with you on... I'll just say the first series and a couple others but leave it vague from here as to not go on and on as I am apt to do.

[@laulen3448]

Okay but does the Alien expanded universe have a canon level system like the Star Wars expanded universe (Legends) ? Because if it's there is a system like that, I guess consistency and coherence isn't much of an issue, if something, a comic for example, is fucking with the timeline for exemple, it can just be not canon and thus can it do what he want with it's story, or just be in another canon than the rest.

[@laulen3448]

Yeah but consistency and coherence is important when your telling a story because if it's not, certain event can become less important and/or less impactful, great dangers can become not menacing at all, etc... But I have to admit that I don't know so many thing in the Alien extended universe, I don't even know if it has a canon level system like the old Star Wars expanded universe had, were stories can be more or less canon and even be in another canon. Because if there is such system in the Alien EU, Inconsistency is less of an issue. The problem I have with that story is that, in Alien vs Predator (game from 2010) for exemple, drones can mutate to become a queen if necessary. Sure here they are in a really bad state but why no one mutated before ? If one had it the colony would be in a much better condition.

[@skellymom]

It would be nice if the writers of all of the media could cooperate and be consistent. Would be an awesome freakin' universe!

[@fairyqueentitania5080]

I think the engineers developed the black goo as a weapon for any enemy, just drop it and watch it work. One day they unleashed it on the wrong enemy, who just became more dangerous and savage as a result. Thus began a race to create a new bioweapon to stop the enemy they had just empowered.

[@acloserlook5823]

YES! Humans are the most dangerous xenomorph! The pilot saw that we had created our own life in the androids, and immediately panicked and tried to travel here and wipe us out. That is the only explanation that makes sense to me.

[@QixTheDS]

RATO well all xenomorphs are female and I think if the queen dies one of them takes over

No, a queen makes a praetorian right before its death, she activates a hormone in a xenomorph that makes others attack it, if it escapes, it turns praetorian, cones back and kills a bunch of xenos, THEN evolves to queen, so no queen, no praetorian.

This was probably the most interesting segment of the Labyrinth storyline; he had found something that could eradicate the aliens, or at the very least make them weaker and more easily destroyed. From what I remember in the novel, a sweeper team had destroyed the hive after Church's retrieval thus destroying the mold that was slowly killing the hive. Even if he could have retrieved samples for replication, would he have done anything good with it? His lab and experiments showed he was no better than General Spears; I figured his hive experience had made him more sympathetic to the xenos as he obviously wanted to learn more about them instead of destroy them.

Cronenberg is fuckign great. He always took far less money (like John Carpenter) so he could do more risky, edgy films and having more creative control over them) There are so many comics out there that would make fantastic films (like this one here in the video) but Hollywood wont touch them because they are not sure things and universal enough in content appeal to reach the most people possible. That is why when you watch many Hollywood films even if the story is different you still feel a "formula" at work. It is like a recipe that they will not divert from. I mean, from a monetary standpoint I can understand why this is, the way it is. Investors have to be repaid, and if the film doesnt profit..it could be catastrophic for a studio..especially if it has a budget like films do today (100 million+) But at least we get some stuff that does wind up being very good.. Alien1+2 , Blade Runner, Star Wars, Dune..etc They may not be perfect, but far far better than having nothing at all.
