This symbiote is such a breath of fresh air in regards to the parasitic alien trope. Instead of something that completely kills the host in order to survive, it's a parasite that, while it does end up taking up home inside the host, it actually enhances the host for the survival of itself and the host while not completely wrecking the host's psyche to the point of turning them into some mindless monster. On top of that, thing really does come off as an alien that has evolved to survive this way rather than some mindless killing machine that causes mass destruction wherever it goes.

Honestly, something that this movie does really well is the alien's motivations. Yes, it is a horror movie with the alien killing people, but it isn't the antagonist. It's actually more helpful than the aliens in LIFE or ALIEN, and that is so refreshing to see in a horror movie. It has an obvious way of feeding, and it's a brutal killer, but it never really is a danger to the protagonist. It just wants to live and keep its host alive as well; we can see that it reacts to the mental state of those around it, so it isn't necessarily evil. (besides the whole eating brains thing) One of the rare gems Roanoke has introduced me to.
@HunhowsShadowStalker2 жыл бұрын
I think you're using the wrong term here. The alien is definitely the antagonist, but it isn't the _villain._ An antagonist is a character in a story that is considered a threat to the main character, the protagonist. The antagonist is defined by their role in a story. A villain is defined by the motivation behind their actions. You can easily have a story where the protagonist is a villain and the antagonist a hero, like Invader Zim.

Keep in mind that is for the average person not something who trains thier body to handle lower oxygen. Keep in mind it was only 1847 that surgery started the idea of hand-wash between patients and was considered bad because it slowed the process of saving lives.

Gas prices rise because of the government even the Healthcare system being busted is because our government limited the number of doctors allowed to graduate each year. As a funny aside the reason Marijuana is illegal in the US is because of dupont and their nylon rope. Apparently when dupont first released their nylon rope they went to the government and petitioned them to make hemp illegal because hemp rope was stronger and they couldn't compete. In today's age using anything buy a synthetic fiber rope is silly as they're far stronger but the effects of such government intervention are still felt. Heck take note of the protections social media sites get as they're "platforms" yet they police content and act as publishers. Meaning they should lose their protections and be held accountable for illegal content. But nah ineffectual government is ineffectual.

Concerning why so many creatures go for the brain in media. I've heard that it's because originally, we thought what makes us human was located in the heart, so in media a lot, someone would die via getting shot in the heart. Later, when we learned more about the brain, the view of it making us human became more popular, and as a result, death by head trauma would happen more and more to the point it is now!

To be fair, with how this organism's jaw operates, it can just be that it is intelligent enough to know that's one of the points for it to do hefty damage. Once it did it once and saw it permanently incapacitated the organism it was attacking, that'd mean it'd recognize that point as a weak spot in the future for this prey. Going for the head I find is more a sign of intelligence, should said creature be doing it out of that and not because of something else

The alien in this movie doesn’t eat meat, it feeds off a hormone released by the brain when feeling intense levels of stress (feeds off fear basically). Humans release this hormonal chemical (cortisol) far more intensely than any other animal on our planet because we are far more intelligent and have the ability to understand the potential horrors of an alien life form. It ignored other animals because they weren’t stressed out and scared enough when it approached them. The movie also implies that if you stand up to the alien without being afraid or threatening it, it may not kill you. It just wants to survive. If you’re not food or a threat it will likely leave you alone.

I wonder if the symbiote is an essential part of its proper hosts life cycle? What if mature hosts cannot 'sleep' without a symbiote? In its proper host maybe a drop in the cortisol equivalent is just the host relaxing for rest and needs the symbiote to do the rest. The symbiote then leaves and hunts but it is also in a position to defend its host from predators and rival symbiotes, the neurological interaction would be useful for marking mates and offspring as invalid targets for aggression.

Also it's interesting that the Yuri entity(what I call the alien, also as a nod to Yuri Gagarin), in a sense forms a bond like father and son with Veshnyakov. The part where it is transfixed for a time by the toy, is both sympathetic in a sense, as well incredibly eery.

So, what I think it does in order to shrink its self is basically melt itself down into some kind of stem cell paste, and in this state it can pass through the hosts tissue freely without actually damaging the host tissue upon entry or exit similar to how a steroid hormone readily passes through a persons cellular wall and even briefly becomes a part of it. This also explains how it manages to avoid being digested, and would explain its ability to heal its host as it may either increase the production of stem cells, or much like Adam from the bioshock games return the cells to their stem cell state to heal the host which is certain far more energy efficient than increasing the hosts overall metabolism which can cause a lot of other issues. I theorize the reason it needs to go down the throat of the host is that it can't break through the outer layer of the skin because it can only morph through living tissue which the surface of your skin is distinctly not.

Only thing I can think of with regards to her...pretty much drowning a kid before this movie, is that the child might have been submerged in the midst of an ongoing seizure, then the most active ongoing pathway (presumably, the one responsible for the seizure) would have been drawing oxygen and glucose more rapidly than the rest of the brain, and the higher energy demands of the active site would cause starvation more rapidly, and a lesion would form on the area responsible. This is somewhat pseudo-scientific. By this time, our understanding on inducing lesions on the brain was much more complete, at least in the states, but even going back to 1940, more effective means of stopping seizures were known- most notably the severing of the corpus callosum. Lobotomies had already gone the way of the dinosaur here in the states, but I'm not aware of how advanced soviet neuroscience was at this point in time. Judging from the other doc's concerns of her attempting to take credit, and taking risks, its very possible she had intended to experiment on the child, in hopes of pioneering a new manner of treating seizures without surgical intervention via lesioning.
