The queen is a better go to i agree, but i hated the way she was portrayed in Alien 4 :(

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE because she was engineered which is a mistake lol

That's part of the biggest question in the franchise isn't it? Who and what was the space jockey and did it create this thing as a weapon?

This is my thought exactly. If there's a queen, there's a queen. If not, a lone Alien could egg-morph whoever was available. If there is a queen in this film (and for some reason I don't think there will be), I'm not sure what they could do with it, past another final battle. What do you do with a queen?

@@dewey70 Yeah, how do you top Aliens right?

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I think that is what drove the writers crazy for Alien 3. What can you do, after that??

I can only imagine that Scott and Cameron have always been in complete odds over this aspect of the franchise. It's not like they've ever said anything nasty about each other over the years, but I sense Ridley especially never liked the direction it went. I also believe they respect each other as film makers too much to ever get into a heated debate over such trivial matters in their professional careers.

This point is spot on but I can understand why Cameron took it into a different place. He likely wanted to separate his version of Alien and can't ever be accused of rehashing or ripping off the original

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE also, while they didn't directly call each other out, it's pretty well known that most of the original British team who worked on the original thought Cameron's vision was a joke and didn't like a random American guy changing everything up

@@bozcoustics5448 Yeah I loved learning about that in the old documentary stuff. A product of its time I guess but I certainly admire Cameron's work ethic above all others. I have watch recent interviews with them speaking together one on one and it was very nice.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I'm going out on a limb here ,what about an Android getting a face hugger impregnation, could we get a new version of the Alien , not to sure if it could work .

That's a great analysis and I love the idea of all the species being connected via signal and response activation through pheromones and so forth. We think of these things as individual units sometimes but if they can affect each if so radically based on information about environment and food source, then it's more logical that what you say is correct. It ties things up nicely without the lazy writing aspect that sometimes happens

@@j.p.5818 not sure what they are cooking up but I guess anything can go right?

It would be great if pheromones could be better explored in Romulus if they go this route but it's possible we'll only see a couple of fully grown Xenos. Finally somebody notices my new intro haha! Thanks, I made it to try to encapsulate those sensations of watching horror films in the dark as a kid with that childlike wonder...

Great read, thanks for your input. Always interesting to hear from people in the science community on these fascinating but fictional creatures. As a biologist, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how these large Xenos can sustain themselves for long periods of time as it's always baffled me how little they seem to eat and also how much fluids they lose every time they drool or secrete. I know it's all fantasy but these creatures were inspired by living things on Earth after all. I also believe in this vast universe we live in, I think any biologist would explode with delight and confusion if we could one day observe life on unlimited planets. I truly believe and you'll maybe roll your eyes at me for saying this... But anything we can imagine, has the potential to be a reality. Thanks again for the insights. I'll be making some videos soon trying to explain the aliens features and functions based on real science on earth. I'm gonna do loads of research and try to get things right, but I expect harsh criticism none the less 😉😉

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Yeah it is fun to consider some kind of basis for scifi creatures to really function. Most people would say its just hollywood logic and they can do whatever the plot requires. Because its a good point, they are large creatures and very active/agile. You would imagine that is burning a huge amount of energy. Particularly when you add in the fact they don't "eat" a lot of what they hunt if they are dragging them back to eggs (or even turning them into eggs) a lot of the time from what we see in the movies. But if you wanted to be charitable and find some way to start the explanation for it, I think looking at some of the original ideas about its biology is pretty helpful. I think Ridley Scott or Gieger had the idea for the first movie that the alien lifecycle is extremely short lived and that it is also sort of degrading in this process. The reason the chestburster is white and the adult alien is black was to visually imply a sort of bruising over time or like observing a banana become over ripe. In that context, its a fun thought experiment to extrapolate that the aliens biology forgoes any of that boring stuff that gives species like us longevity and stability. And instead focuses on "designing" something that is more disposable. That burns out, not fades away. Perhaps slowly consuming its self from the inside with its metabolism, like the stomach of a starving mammal. A highly impactful hunter and warrior for an intense but short amount of time, protecting and expanding the hive. Running on its equivalent of adrenalin. Taking a pistol shot or two and not even realizing it or experiencing the effect of it until much later, if it lives that long. The overall ethos not being concerned with the quality of life of the being after the point it has served its purpose. You could also imagine one of its "organs" is simply a sac of metabolic fuel, its food in a sense. And it doesn't actually need to eat anything in its environment. Its like rocket fuel, it just speeds through its growth and development and performs incredible feats of speed, power and agility with it. Fueling other organs or glands to produce substances like enough highly caustic acid to fill up its frame and also a possibly complex substance in potentially large amounts that allows it to "build" hives. But once its used up the alien must enter a semi dormant state, or perhaps just die. There is some kind of phrase to get the idea across succinctly I can't think of, like a front loaded lifecycle or an "overclocked" lifeform. Its that kind of idea. You are pushing the engines so hard they damage themselves and can't be used again to that degree. I suppose one problem with this is that sequels and other media have significantly ignored this aspect of the alien and it appears to be canonically more durable and long lived than that now. They do keep the convenient factors, like fast growth to adulthood, probably for script pacing purposes. But the rest of it doesn't seem to be that well known or accepted. Its just a badass killing machine to most people. That decaying, transient aspect sort of hurts that branding. But I think it fits a little better with the biology of the standard alien for a more grounded take on it. And I don't believe the major film entries of the franchise have timeframes that would directly contradict a fairly short lifecycle. And just to say I don't have any of the companion books of lore or comicbooks/dvd bonus content/webseries/whatever that may go into detail on stuff like this, so I'm sorry if they already explained it somewhere and definitively contradict everything I said. I mostly just watch and rewatch Alien and Aliens. These are just my guesses.

Big Chap only had one more host at least for 57 years

@@R0B1NG5 just been reading your thoughts again. Probably one of the best comments/replies on this video. You've given me so many ideas for future videos that I must simply thank you 🫡

It's just as sinister as an alien gestating inside you so it does fit Alien very well.

Indeed while the Gestation of a Alien inside of you is Brutal.. seeing a Human being metamorphosis into a Alien is equally as horrifying

The one thing that has always bugged me about ovomorphing is why don’t the xenos just ovomorph the humans into an adult xeno at that point? They’re working with the same nutrient source.

@@rhobidderskag1121 Certainly when you consider what must Happen to a Host to Morph into a Egg (the Egg-Morph in Alien looked large), then yeah you could wonder why does this NOT Gestate a Adult Xenomorph instead. The biggest Problem with the Ovomorph is it kind of makes the Queen redundant....... When I look back at the scene in Alien i felt that having this Produce a Queen makes sense... but when we look at ALIEN 3 and AR then we indeed see the Queen is birthed via a Chest Burster and so the result of a Facehugger. I am not sure if we will see a Egg Morph or Cocoon Morph in this or any future Movie..... maybe who knows. (By that the Morphing of a Human Host). Ridley Scott had indicated that you can go a few more Movies with the Xenomorph but you have to Evolve it and explore other ways to Procreate. Some people would think that he would only have intended to put Camerons Queen into Question.

@ENTERTAINtheDUDE excellent analysis though!

@@michaelg.1786 Thanks very much pal

@@kyla.s5838 many folks in the comments seem to accept that the franchise could cater to both ideas. Makes sense to me that both are just evolutionary ideas and different methods it can survive but the queen is a much more natural process I guess.

It's a good theory, complicated and simple at the same time. Much like the efficiency and deadliness of the creature as well as it complex chemistry to be able to do the things it does.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Thank you. I think their social cohesion is like that of ants. A queen would not survive on her own but with workers to feed and protect her she thrives and the colony grows. I think we haven't scratched the surface of what we know of the species. So their ability to create life through their dna secretions in making an egg to make a queen, may not be that unusual. It makes sense. I am so hyped to see this film! Can't wait!

Sounds like bees. Specialized cells can grow queens, standard ones only workers. If there’s a lack of a queen and need for one one can be brought into existence

@@pyenapple thanks for sharing, nature is pretty thoughtful when you think about it. Not sure what the xenomorph brings to the table in the absence of honey but it's a good comparison 😉

@@pyenapple Indeed. But it's more like a caterpillar species where through a process of chrysalis a caterpillar would cocoon itself and then morph and be reborn into a butterfly. I thought this xenomorph species was the same. Every "drone" carries the DNA to do the same by cocooning itself and then morphing into a queen where they happen to be in an environment that doesn't already have one. This is what I thought was happening at the end of the first Alien film whereas everyone else was saying it was dying. Bit of a useless species then if it lasts only 24 hours.

@@crosana01 I also hope we get some fascinating bits of information and scientific reports read out or shown once we get inside the Romulus lab. Not as destroying as midichlorians from Star Wars but just something cool to learn instead of looking at test tubes hehe.

@@talcy I guess even going back to single celled organisms and the start of life, the single component of this creation must have multiplied initially right? I'm well on board with both ideas existing.

I feel like the xenomorph has to keep morphing just to stay alive as its life cycle is very short. Almost like a guessing game in what it could become next :O

@@kjstyles2xtreme true, it was never fully canonised. It just exists as part of the mystery 👌

You've clearly thought about this quite a bit also huh? The perfect specimen does not waste energy and can adapt to every environment and situation. I agree with what you say as it makes the creature eternally scary.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE there is more than one Romulus station. The other is called Remus.

I can’t wait so you can believe who I am and say.

I understand your angle on this but I then wonder if they might avoid the issue entirely? There is no evidence at all that there are natural eggs on board as we only see incubators in the lab so maybe they limit the amount of aliens and we just have something akin to the original but more high octane haha!

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I mean i would have no problem if somehow the Roumulus scientists used the xeno's dna and somehow they could recreate eggs, or something like that. I just dont like, and never have, the egg morphing angle (if thats even what we were actually seeing in the ALIEN cut scene). I just wonder if they create a Queen somehow. I noticed the blue mist from ALIEN in one of the trailer scenes. I dont know its just the 'egg morphing' would be a lazy and conveniant way to expain why eggs are on Roumulus (if they actually are. they could be created like you suggested).

So much potential here.

​@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I'm not a fan of prometheus or covennant. I felt they cheapen the actually marvel of the alien. The alien created by a synthetic with a God complex. And the space jocks being humanesc creatures in suits? Everything the first built upon was totally thrown out the window in those films and I'm a bit stubborn and don't even consider them cannon. Refuse to believe a creature that iconic got reduced to a pet project for a synth.. it's sad seeing it that far down. The comics on the space jockeys is far more interesting. That and the "suit" in Alien wasn't a suit. Kane makes a point of it being organic and the bone being bent outwards. Scott made a mess tbh of the franchise with his own ego, I'm really really hoping he didn't have too much of a say in this film. It will just end up a mess. I have been thinking about it a long time! I've spent years learning about Xenos and they're life cycles. Fascinating creatures. I knew on the trailer drop the scene was an alien coming out of a cacoon.

Imagine if cinematically they have the Big Chap molt into a queen with a sufficient number of drones present near the end of the film. That would be a climatic moment. SOMETHING had a big ass tail in the trailer, and a Queen's tail is that length.

Hence why it is called the perfect specimen right? ;) I like it.

That's what I thought. Egg morphin could also create queen bearing facehuggers. This way a lone alien isn't completely a genetic dead end with no queen. But, the process would have an extra step instead of the lone alien simply molting into a queen.

@@mikerude5073 I'd love to review the Renaissance stations lab reports on these critters. Not sure I would understand the lingo but can you imagine the findings? 😉😉

@mikerude5073 I can definitely get that. I'm sure if romulus is successful we might get a look at the life cycle of a queen that isn't alien resurrection lol. having that will probably help fans with the notion that both cocoons and queens can exist together and help with the process of xenomorph creation.

They absolutely can. The xenomorph is the ultimate survivor as Ash once observed. It's perfectly conceivable that the creature has multiple ways of replicating itself. That would actually be essential for it's abilty to survive as a species.

Very nice of you to say, have a great weekend 👍

@@BehindThePringles heard but not seen 😉

@@iv.n4thing214 Yes, I believe it was a term for the Xeno given by the director, Ridley.

Alverez has hinted a number of times that we're going to see a new creature in his movie.

People seem to be equal parts for or against, with many others accepting that you can include both ideas.

I'm interested to see how different the xeno will be and if they are going the queen route. A young queen is a cool concept at least.

Cameron seems like he is not pleased with how something has been portrayed in the Movie and seems to indicate that having Ridley Scott on the project may have had something to do with whatever has displeased Cameron. What that is... i will leave for us to find out on Friday. Maybe Cameron now knows how RS felt about the Xenomorph Life Cycle after Alien.

@@davebear9825 jeez, it's like to arguing dads that used to be cool 😎.

I have seen a few negative reviews saying that the 3rd act which was amazing for some people. However, it fell flat for them. I've decided it's wrong to go in comparing to the previous films as this needs to be its own beast, so let us see.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Certainly every Alien Movie has put its own Spin/Introduced something New. Including the Prequels. Does Alvarez stick to the Playbook... does he only play Homage to the First Two Movies and stick to the Lore that was established in which the Queen etc... seems paramount as it features mostly in the Games, Comics and Novels. But then Alvarez is entitled to try something else.... as Ash said "Perfect Organism and Survivor" If he has evolved something about the Xenomorph to give it a extra string to its bow so to speak.... then this makes the Xenomorph more adaptable and Perfect.

It has definitely upset many fans. It kind of diminishes the complexity of the xenomorph when you reduce its essence to black goo sadly.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE it’s a lot of little things. What David does with the goo in covenant takes the struggle against the Xenomorph, which is one of the most masterfully done examples of Man vs. The Unknown and retcons it into a half baked example of Man vs. Man’s Creation. The alien’s no longer a foreign entity, it’s essentially a manmade problem. Beyond that there’s the fact that the Xenomorph is frankly far less dangerous than the black goo itself. It really steals the Xenomorphs thunder. It also takes all the little nagging thoughts that challenge our belief that the Xenomorph is _actually_ the perfect organism and brings them into focus by contrasting it with a far more powerful, but far less interesting, weapon. It’s just everything bad that could possibly happen to you concentrated into a liquid. The goo is what you get when you take all the really specific, strange and alien details of the Xenomorph that Geiger brought to the table and strip them away in favor of just maximizing lethality. It fundamentally misunderstands a key aspect of what makes good body horror: unsettling specificity. Body horror _isn’t_ about a foreign agent malevolently trying to destroy you as gruesomely and painfully as possible. Its instead about a foreign agent earnestly trying its best to achieve something special with your body. It’s perversely specific. Think not of a praying mantis dismembering devouring another bug in gruesome detail, think instead of Leucochloridium paradoxum, the parasitic flatworm that invades the eyestalks of a snail and pulsates with color and shapes remesecent of a caterpillar to get a bird to eat the snail so it can continue its complex lifecycle inside the bird’s digestive tract.

Just watched it on the VHS marketing ad, looks very cool s I love that retro space vibe.

I know what you mean. It was so vague that it almost has any application you can think of haha!

The black goo is simply a genetic tool. It has infinite applications implied by Scott. The xenomorph created by David was just another application of the Engineers method but not necessarily the exact method used to create the eggs/xenomorph in Alien.

The Auld Lang Syne nostalgia is running deep between this and LONGLEGS. In its own way, ALIEN ROMULUS is the third ALIEN movie we never got to see as Sigourney Weaver killed it as producer of ALIEN 3. She trashed William Gibson's superb script (ALIENS on steroids set on a space station whereby ALIENS form out of black goo left on Bishop's severed torso), banned guns, and had Bishop, Hicks, and Newt instantly terminated, and demanded the franchise end with her Christ-like sacrifice (Lord...). The space station Gibson set the story on was inhabited by communists (Cold War still, remember!) and featured piles of xenos but in his second draft he scaled it down to just 3, which sounds very much like this movie.

It funny because since i started making videos on this film, I've grown more excited about seeing it. But the one thing that still is an uncertainty is the casting choices. I hope we are surprised but i'll be interested in your feedback once released. If it changes your mind then it must be a great film indeed ;)

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE i'll probably love it but pretend i thought it as crap. :-)

To be honest, part of me is more interested in the events that happened just after all hell broke loose on the station. I'd love to know if anyone escaped and what of the experiments they might have taken with them. Maybe Romulus will set up a next movie from these ideas.

A film about the place? Do you mean exactly what happened to the colony because it would also make a great series right?

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE yes,it was a decent book. It could have been the obvious movie after alien. More of the alien ship exploration. A huge amount of unarmed victims. There was alot there to explore.

@@ralphllivrah9551 I honestly don't understand why Disney don't start releasing Anime on this stories. I personally feel that Anime can sometimes do a wonderful job at conveying great stories on a budget and really immersing us with captivating animations.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE it’s already been a book. Don’t expect Disney to do anything that’s unique. They feed the masses. Nothing but profit whores,with no love or emotional attachment to the things they buy from imaginative,caring people. They will never produce anything again. It’s cheaper and safer to buy something thats already a know quantity.

Ahh sorry. I tried to announce spoilers a few times but in future I'll be more specific about what it is.

I'm struggling to find mine and your original comments now but thanks for posting the video of Cameron and Ridley chatting. It was cool to see Cameron's love for Ridley. At the start, he's either kissing arse or genuinely appreciates and respects everything Ridley did. I think the latter though
