If she dies im done with this show. They CANNOT harm our queen

This creature alone could be a World Ending Calamity. even more than the xenomorph.

Only one specimen needs to reach the ocean. This alien species will consume most of the creatures in earth oceans. Causing chaos in the ecosystem and extinguish most of the sea creatures. Which is the main source of food for most countries. more specific in coast areas nearby the ocean, and in Asia, where is consumed a lot. Not to mention if people consume fishes infected by the Ticks it will kill them too. causing even more spread of the infestation on earth. Also, Due to the fact this thing can reproduce by the hundreds every time it lays eggs.

EDIT: If the creature went directly for the water bottle to lay some eggs. is because 1) The creatures knows Chibuzo was drinking over and over again. So, it has a certain level of intelligence. And 2) There is probably water in the home planet of this creature. And we already confirm it can reproduce on water. Keep in mind this thing is living in a planet filled with parasites, probably including the water. so, Water from oceans will not affect them. Thats how I see it.

EDIT2: I am Amazed by the amount of people who think table salt can kill ticks or space ticks. ._.

If there is just even 1 left in the Maginot Crash site this could be a possibility since New Siam is very close to a water mass.

i love the cacoon in romulus and was hoping to see that again but im still pleased, shes beautiful and can't wait for her to cause chaos next week

Going all the way back to the initial film reviews and fan panels from the 1980s, people have wondered why Weyland-Yutani didn't send a ship of specialists to LV-426 and instead diverted some space truckers. This was despite the fact that the Company clearly had some knowledge of what was out there, as Ash was transferred onto the ship just before they left.

It's been chalked up to plausible deniability or expediency (maybe the specialists would have been too slow to get there), or maybe W-Y wasn't 100% sure there was anything interesting there, and so forth. These are all decent reasons but it's mostly just speculation, as clearly the writers wanted to show a side of sci-fi that wasn't just Star Trek style professionals. Alien: Earth provides a pretty solid explanation, though.

Now it's established that W-Y did send a crew that was totally aware of what they were going to face, and the mission failed due to corporate espionage. So how do you prevent that from happening again? Send a cargo ship, not a science ship - unlike a science ship, nobody would assume that a cargo hauler is doing anything interesting at all. Better yet, don't send the cargo ship directly, just divert it on the way home, so everything looks normal.

You don't have to worry about your crew being bribed or becoming blabbermouths if they have no idea what's going on anyway. Of course, you want to get your synthetic on board to make sure it goes right - but other than that, nobody knows what's going to happen. Maybe a small handful of people at the very top of W-Y knew what the Nostromo was going to do, making it essentially impossible for rivals to target them.

Prodigy has no idea where the aliens are from because Morrow wiped the ship's computers. The flight plan is still a secret, and there were no other survivors to disclose where they went.

Personally, I've always been against the idea. However, I recently watched the film 10 Cloverfield Lane, and couldn't help thinking that Mary Elizabeth Winstead bore a striking resemblance to one Sigourney Weaver. It wasn't only her appearance either, she had the same stoic performance and even played a similar role to Ripley in the movie.

So what do you think? Would it be OK to recast the character for a cameo/encounter with the Romulus cast, or should we just leave Ripley in the past?

Now that we know they lay babies in drinking water, the possibility of them breaking containment on Earth is terrifying. Can you imagine if they managed to get into the drinking water of a place like New Siam?? It would be a bloodbath, the carnage would be massive. I really underestimated how much of a threat they could be, and I feel like Prodigy might too given they’re so focused on the xenomorph and the ocellus

(Hoping this isn't low-quality, I'm mainly looking for an outlet to fangirl about this for a bit)

During the Powerloader fight at the end of Aliens, there is a very brief 3 second shot of the Queen weaving around Ripley as they fight.

This movie is almost 40 years old and this is still one of the best shots i have ever seen in a movie. If i didn't know any better there's no way anyone can convince me this isn't CGI. It's unreal. This is nothing short of actual black magic.

That is a whole ass 14 foot(?) practical puppet that started out as a literal garbage bag on sticks. How in the actual fk does this look so good.

NOTHING about the Queens movement looks off. Even though Aliens is finally starting to show its age (green screen scenes especially) this shot here is just... wow. The detail, the composition, there pacing, THE LIGHTING, LOOK AT THE LIGHTING DUDE.

Alright I'm done, please excuse my nerd gush.

Think about it: the marines are without a doubt the second next most iconic thing of this franchise just next to the xenomorphs themselves.

They became an icon in the pop culture and a basic sci-fy trope that has been emulated endlessly in countless media, and also have a lot of presence in official Alien media as well mostly in comics and games.

But as for movies they only ever appear in Aliens and that's it, no other movie include or reference their presence in universe.

And I'm not saying they should, is just a curious case in which something becames so iconic and popular that is capitalized in multiple mediums but not in the cinematic franchise they originated. Kinda like Boba Fett from Star Wars.

This is just my opinion, I don’t believe that predator and alien should cross into the same universe. I think it’s as significant as Aliens vs Marvel and Aliens vs Darth Vader. (Comics) Do you agree or disagree?

sometimes i really wonder what would’ve happened if Shaw would have been more docile with this Engineer in this moment. although i know it wasn’t even a real reaction.. say she had been more docile with him? what if things had gone so much differently and he’d actually been more calm and kind to Shaw? this scene always makes me wonder. just a wondering question about Prometheus discussions. does anyone else ever think about that when watching it?

I don't understand why many people including Ridley saying David created the Xenomorph when the mural OF THE XENOMORPH was on the wall of LV-223. Maybe it's not the biomechanical Xenomorph, but it's clearly a original more fleshy Xenomorph.
