Why would they make for good bioweapons again?

well, lets look at it from Weyland-Yutani's perspective.
>theres a shitload of people on earth because of overpopulation
>we could take some of these fuckers, probably death row inmates
>pump them full of xeno eggs
>instant bioweapons

because they're 56% effective. that's more than half!

this isnt star wars

>bio weapons

Pure fan wank.

They'd be totally useless against any race advanced enough to have space travel. Even a hastily built barricade and enough people with firearms was enough to hold them off in AvP 2.

>Even a hastily built barricade and enough people with firearms was enough to hold them off in AvP 2.
consider the following: No.
they tried that shit in Aliens and they still killed best boy Hudson *and* that little shitweasel Burke.

>>Needs another species to breed, is completely fucked if there's no queen
Thought that one would turn queen in the absence of another queen. The alien in the first movie had people trapped, implying it was going to lay eggs and use the trapped people for the facehuggers.

>AvP2

No one gives a shit about AvP films.

the creatures from Species are superior. they ride your dick better before eating your face

man, Species fucked me up as a kid.

Aliens stopped being cool and threatening after the sentry scene in Aliens (1986). They're just zerg-rushing retards. Fuck James Cameron.

Stealth tactics only work on weaponless space truckers. That scene is only in the extended edition anyway, you don't have to watch it.

What it was going to eat the people to lay some facehugger eggs

There's a deleted scene where it turns someone into an egg

Originally, they were supposed to have a lifespan of like 3 days or something and be able to turn people into eggs, which makes more sense as a bioweapon as you drop some eggs on a colony, wait a few months, then everyone is turned into aliens who subsequently die when all the hosts run out, leaving all the expensive equipment behind. The one in Ripley's shuttle at the end was supposed to have gone there to die.

Still, I just always thought the bioweapon thing was just the company wanting their genetic material, not to use them as is.

There was an old story written by a Chinese scholar 1800 years ago. He saw that paraitoid wasp put caterpillar into its nest and later a wasp came out. Because he didn't notice the egg of the wasp he thought the new wasp was the green caterpillar. He imagined that the wasp has a magical spell: by whispering to the caterpillar "be like me be like me" it was able to turn a caterpillar into a wasp.

Alien lore has been so raped and defiled that it barely makes any sense to discuss them anymore. Literally any theory can be adapted to fit the new lore regarding the black goo and the differences we see in other movies.
For instance, in Alien, we see the Alien being perfect not only because of it's biological awesomeness, but also because it's a cunning sneaky little bastard that doesnt even go for the kill at first instance. It studies, it lurks and learns. It can wait for hours before surprising victims. How is that a good bioweapon? How is a sniper assassin a good weapon?
In later movies we see the Alien just attacking on sight, allowing it to be instantly mauled by heavy machinegunnery, but it grows in numbers making it a more effective "bioweapon" as a plague thing
And finally, there's no telling what the company wanted with them. For all we know they could just be idiots imagining they could ever harness the Xeno power when no matter what they would try, it would blow up in their faces anyway. Maybe they wanted to tame them, maybe just use them as something to unleash or maybe they were interested in their genetics, allowing to use their advantages as technology improvements, like genetically modified soldiers with acid blood or god knows what else.

>Why would they make for good bioweapons again?
The alien isn't a weapon. Pay more attention to these movies.

>And finally, there's no telling what the company wanted with them
The company, in the first movie, clearly wants to breed more obedient workers. Humans aren't good enough because they criticise procedure and must be motivated with money. The company is already taking the first steps with Ash and Mother who as machines cannot rebel and do not desire compensation for their work. The alien creature has to be understood in this context. It's not a soldier, it's a worker. Like, drop the lore for a moment and think about what it means that the alien literally grows out of Kane and replaces him, and proves itself to be superior to the human crew. When Ash says he admires the alien's purity, what does that mean? Ash was built to serve, but even he has a degree of personality and features that only exist to make him less disturbing to the human crew.

Do Xenomorphs browse on Sup Forums?
Any greentext story about Xeno?

The problem is Cameron fucking things up by making the whole thing about space bugs with a giant space bug that rely on numbers to accomplish anything

They have the development speed of insects with the instant killing potential of big cats and near-human intelligence.

It doesn't make sense. Alien is an untamable worker. If the company wants to replace inefficient workers why do they study aliens? All they need to do is to stick with robots and computer

The Queen is NON-CANON

when will you idiots realise that

At that point there were four marines against ??? aliens, being flanked from every possible direction.

Xenomorphs are dumb as shit they act purely on insticts. Yautja on the other hand. Those faggots have space travel but they still live like tribels, what the fuck is their problem?

A soyboy like you would never understand the thrill of THE HUNT.

t. bugman

The alien is a fantasy creature, it represents an ideal. The point of the movie is that companies don't care about workers and if they could turn their employees into mindless drones, they'd do it.

>Aliens: prepared for months with no hope for reinforcement
>at top they had 200
>Marines: nerfed and nerfed and still completed objective

The exchange ratio is not good for aliens

Were do the eggs come from then? Don't tell me they're all man made

virgin alien vs chad predator?

virgin xenomorph and virgin yautja vs chad mala'kak

The eggs could be grown from seeds or something.

The problem is alien is the opposite of the company's ideal. It's dirty. It's uncontrollable. Its blood damages the ship. It's not a mindless drone but it has a will that company cannot control.
the idea of drones was introduced in the "lore" that is Aliens, and when its introduced it still doesn't make sense.
I agree that we can look at the movie as metaphor of labor management. But in that case I would see alien as symbol of rebellion not as obedience
Which still doesn't make sense why the company wants to study about rebellion.

>dude xenomorphs need to lay eggs into you through facehugger so chestburster can grow out of you
>jk lmao xenomorphs can also breed through plants and spores lmao dude and they are still cool *wink wink*

fuck covenant

>be like me be like me

i wanna go balls deep on a Queen's ovipositor and paint her eggs with my seed

Everybody on this thread is cute, smart, funny and friendly. I genuiely care about you people.

>Why would they make for good bioweapons again?
The black goo is the bioweapon. The Alien is a side effect

Her pussy juice would corrode your peepee.

>What is a settling rush
>What is spam
>Why Am i panty waste

Sci-fi isn't for you, back to Harry potter.

Also they are like monkeys now because human evolution

>be weyland-yutani
>find millions year old ayy lmao ship filled with space wasps
>ignore the fuck huge bounty of tech the ship represents, decide to focus on the retarded space wasps
>this will make a profit

>this meme again

If you actually watch the movies, Aliens portrays them by far at their cleverest and most dangerous form. (Resurrection doesn't count because of the human DNA. Everyone and everything is retarded in the AVPs and the Ridley flicks.)

Good bioweapons doesn't make good horror movies.
It's just stored in some glass jars and kills everyone in ten miles radius upon releasing.
Boring for films.

Would pit-bulls make for good bio-weapons?

Pitbulls make for good nigger-weapons

put them into man's best friend, dogs, and maybe you can control them like dogs.

But the dog alien from Alien 3 has the highest kill count of any xenomorph we know of.

this. I don't get why people like Aliens. It cheesy shit that turned those fuckers into mindless horde.

You gotta keep in mind that the alien is hostile to the humans. We don't get a scene of it attacking Ash or Mother or attempting to destroy Nostromo. These are deliberate choices. The movie doesn't attempt to tackle everything at once. Aliens is the one where the alien stands for rebellion, since the company sends a bunch of mercenaries to kill the nest that has replaced the colony. There's also Covenant where the consequences of Weyland's hubris and greed have created a rebellious slave who desires human extinction.

>he watched the theatrical cut

the Chinese are really fucking stupid, we already had biology and had abandoned all of that nonsense by then

Assembly cut is a meme. The ox alien is stupid (since when are oxen known for their speed) and it cuts out the bit at the end when Ripley hugs the newborn.

Nice reddit spacing

I don’t think everyone who does that is from reddit, though this is Sup Forums so you’re probably right

I fapped a lot to this movie as a kid

I was just memeing and actually agree tbqhwy, two of A3's best scenes are ruined in Assembly

This.

>Sup Forums is literally too much of a brainlet to understand what's happening in fucking Aliens

The whole point of the sentry gun subplot is to set up how fucking clever the aliens were. Nobody sees it coming, but the things are smart enough to understand the concept of projectile weapons and power sources (see also the egg chamber and elevator scenes with the queen at the end) and find another way in. They don't zerg-rush either; scene after scene they're quietly sneaking upon people to ambush them.

Blame Alien 3 for the retarded bugs.
