>>10933361>The first film had some great ideas to the xeno origins. I liked the one about how ancient xenomorphs were a sapient civilization (albeit with a parasitic reproductive method) where the burster would hatch and grow up but then spend the next century learning art, literature, math, etc and would live for many centuries after as an adult member of its kind…but then somehow the society collapsed and all surviving xenos became feral.That sounds retarded. Where did you even get this? Ridley Scott's original take was honestly pretty stupid too. He originally wanted the Xenomorph to speak and the end of the first movie would have it successfully kill everyone, including Ripley, and then make an audio log mimicking her voice while piloting the Nostromo back to Earth.
I always even hated the scrapped idea that the eggs were humans that slowly morphed in eggs. That idea seemed so dumb, and there even exist a scene that was cut from the first movie where Ripley finds Dallas and on of the other crew members turning into eggs. However, I (sort of) came around to the idea when you look at the facehugger. To me, the Facehugger has always looked a bit like a deteriorated perversion of the ribcage, part of the large bony flaps of the pelvis, and the tail looks a bit like a spinal column. So, instead of an "egg" it is more like a cocoon where a human is somewhat broken down and part of it metamorphoses into the facehugger. When Kane peers into the egg, it sill looks like there's a lot of weird gunk leftover, and this also works into the body horror theme the rest of the movie has.
However, the Aliens should have a vague, mysterious background, we don't need to know where they came from, the mystery and creepiness is build into the design. Sort of mechanical, sort of biological, and very weird. Hated what Prometheus and Covenant did having stupid David creating Xenos.
