I always saw a problem/plothook here when I’d only seen the first movie and had no idea about the Queen’s existence. Namely, eggs are enormous, nearly half the size of Kane’s Son, how’s it supposed to lay one of those? Clearly we haven't seen the last stage in the xenomorph lifecycle yet…

Black Castle Of The Star Beast by ErikModi. Alien/. And a great pastiche of Robert E. Howard's tone to boot.

an interesting little fanfic

Has anyone else seen Darkus Marque's fanfilms?

I'm still unclear on xenomorph castes besides standard and queens. As far as I thought I understood it, there were normal xenos, as seen in the first movie and queens, with the difference being that queens were bigger, had a more crownlike ornate head and extra pair of arms and laid eggs...

My theory remains that the xenomorps are specifically adapted for exactly the situation the movies keep putting them in, specifically, being found by unsuspecting space travelers and gruesomely devouring them. They’ve got acid blood because it keeps people from shooting them for fear of...

Good news everyone, we're getting a new Colonial Marines RTS game from the same guys behind Battlefleet Gothic! https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2023/03/22/aliens-dark-descent-is-the-aliens-rts-game-i-never-knew-i-wanted https://www.focus-entmt.com/en/games/aliens-dark-descent Also, there...

Step #1. Fill your faction's armies with unworthy prey. Step #2. Predators annihilate the armies of all your rivals. Step #3. Be the only faction with any army, however pathetic. Step #4. World domination.

Anyone else now imagining a comedy starring an increasingly exasperated predator trying to find worthy prey among modern militaries? Or everything turning out to have been a conspiracy to make predators target the enemy's forces instead of yours?

To be completely fair, displaying that degree of suicidal naivety probably indicates you aren't worthy prey. So it might actually have the desired results, however unintentionally.

Or you absolutely must, make it a story about an android rebellion. Weyland-Yutani's plans to use xenomorphs as attack dogs are universally considered completely unworkable by every character who's survived actually encountering xenomorphs, but they would be a practical weapon for an android...

What was so annoying about it is, there was already an obvious canon approach to have taken if they'd wanted to write essentially the same story they told with 'inequality' and 'self-insert women with secret superhuman powers'. Instead of androids, augments. That's how to do a show on...

Ooh, wokeist civil war! On one hand, girl power is a doubleplusgood wokeist narrative, on the other, despite the fact that there has never in history been a culture as devoted to women's equality as modern western civilization and considering our competitors are watching and learning from our...
