The mention of bug hunts bothers me a little but it is no where near the sin that playfully chatting about Arcturians was. In my mind and preference they have not run into any other sentient life forms in space, it's just better that way at that point in this film universeĢ. I like my sense of awe and wonderment and them introducing this concept lessens that. It takes away the awe and the unknown quality of the vastness of space, the mention of Arcturians was a cheesy moment akin to Star Trek or something. The mention of Arcturians-it makes it no big deal for the characters in Alien or Alien to run into alien species in space. Ancient horrors and crazy alien unexplainable mutations brought Xenos into existence, no queen needed, allow for egg morphing and mutation, so that a single organism is lethal and can overwhelm an ecosystem or civilization through mutating victims, once a large enough population of Xenos exists then one would morph into a queen as a mechanism to maintain and strengthen the hive.Īs I explained in my long winded method, I love Aliens and I can deal with and accept the queen with a little storytelling help the thing most about Aliens that bugs me, ( no pun intended), are two things in order of maximum grevience to meġ. But I still feel there is place for a queen without reducing things if certain storytelling steps and mythology are firmed up and pursued. reduces the unknown, the unexplained, reduces the xeno itself, reduces storytelling itself. ![]() That being said the queen is still cool as hell, it just reduces things somewhat. It also makes how the Xenos much more understandable and relatable and by definition we as humans don't fear things as much if we understand them. While I've made comments on other boards about admiring the queen but also knowing that by having a queen it does reduce the Xenos to a dangerous insect. That movie is still one of the best Sci fi or action movies ever made. Make no mistake I love the movie Aliens, I liked the queen on screen as an 8th grader.
