      Viral Killer you're one of the few that dug deep into alien archive...thankyou for the time it took to explain this.... But i must add....... I saw a previous video about the Xenomorph alien explaining that.. You can't reason with it or teach it .....samthing Sigourney Weaver said an alien resurrection but...theres just no way because it's the perfect killing machine, it has zero fear and attacks with full intent to eviscerate you.. or brings you back ot the hive if you suit the purpose as you stated...

    • @yakanies
      @yakanies 6 років тому +2

      Also... I do think the only way you may be able to get anywere is the moment of birth keep it away from any other xenomorph on its own in that cell like you seen Alien Resurrection and just feed it thoughs people you see coming in thoughs cryo-chambers aka the cargo.. And so as it gets older and the moment it starts becoming agressive press the button.. But it learns fast and adapts faster.. So you have think like a xenomorph to try and figure out what its next possible move may be.. But, by this point its all speculation..because it's unpredictable..for all we know it would probably start spitting acid on the glass, walls, or ceiling but..if you're that certain you could anywhere with it... just add layers upon layers and layers upon layers and more layers of either hard concrete with steel walls and double pane and tripple reinforced bulletproof glass maybe thenn it wouldn't have a chance to escape..... But then again i spite of all that... I don't believe it would matter in the end because, it would be like catching a wild fully grown velociraptor and trynna teach it to to heel and fetch....but fetch it would if there was a live meal in it's sights..just don't expect it bring anything back..

      I always thought Xenomorphs killed simply because they want to be the dominant species and see other species as a threat to themselves. I do remember reading a paperback novel about the xenomorph where the xenomorphs protected a child from harm possibly because the girl was seen as harmless by the xenos or perhaps they, in their own way, took pity on her because she was an outcast from her group or perhaps she had some sort of ability to control them. She was able to sit among the xenos almost as if she was one of their own and she could order them to attack any perceived enemies and they would obey her. She could also order them not to attack her friends and the xenos would protect them. Maybe she had the same ability to control them like the Queen does somehow. I will try to recall the name of that paperback. Bantam books published it.

    The queen in Aliens demonstrated an empathetic bargaining - she called her warriors off Ripley and Newt, acknowledging the clear and present danger that was Ripleys artilliary in the hive. We don’t know if the queen would have let Ripley and Newt walk out of the hive unscathed or would they have ambushed her at the exit? The facehugger which couldn’t be allowed for popped out and Ripley broke the unspoken truce that the queen had offered. The fact that the Queen was able to understand the threat and bargain so fast shows how intelligent a species they are and not just mindless killers, she even relayed the bargain to her warriors who stood down immediately at her command. It shows that they acknowledge that killing isn’t always the best way to protect the hive. I believe the queen doesn’t control facehuggers as they are very primitive, I’ll bet when that egg hatched, the queen thought, shit!

      It is very interesting how the Xenomorphs acquire their genetic memories. Back when I was researching in college to be a genetic engineer I would be fascinated by similar research such as an ability of a certain carnivorous leech to absorb the memories of any other leech it ate. Turns out brain cells(in both leeches and humans and basically all other animals we've tested) use viral capsid data-packets full of RNA which is transfered between cells like a viral infection to create hard-coded memories which the leeches can absorb and copy into themselves. This would be a cool sci-fi way of explaining how the xenos absorb their hosts memories as well as pass them down between generations.

    • @WordBearer86
      @WordBearer86 6 років тому +8

      I also find interesting is that apparently Xenomorphs will take on certain physical and behavioral traits depending on the species of it's host organism. Such as how in Alien 3, the Xenomorph came from a dog (originally was supposed to be an actual Bull, but they made it come from a pitbull instead at the last minute) and appeared and behaved in a more animalistic fashion - establishing territorial areas, tended to run down it's pray (not always) rather than lying in wait to ambush, one was brutal and ferocious in it's attacks where the other was more sadistic and fiendish. Not to mention the clear physical differences such as the more preferred methods of movement - humanoid Xenomorphs tended to remain on two legs whereas the 'Bull' Xenomorph preferred going about on all four. As to the genetic memories, I do recall reading in one of the comics that apparently a Xenomorph can even recall the memories of it's host organism, beyond just instinctual and environmental knowledge. Though to what extend they never fully explained.

      I developed a food allergy which caused my blood to become extremely acidic which gave me a lot of strokes and memory loss and even melted my fingernails off. I was not able to complete my schooling because of that but I am doing much better now that I almost totally avoid my food allergies now. It turns out I have a LOT of food allergies so I can't *completely* avoid them for my entire life without dying of malnutrition. On top of that I kinda found out that genetic engineers are forced to do horrible things in their jobs and really don't have any control over their own labs unless they started off multimillionaires and don't take federal grants at all. So I gave up on it after I healed up anyway. Funny part was that genetic engineering of our foods is the biggest cause of my allergies! The Universe is ironic like that!

    One thing you did not address in this video is the scene where Ripley is gently lowered down through a host of xenomorphs and carried away. The xenomorph carrying her appears to be very gentle; almost keeping her close in a loving embrace. Now it's possible that this is due to some kind of connection the xenomorphs had with Ripley as she was cloned with xenomorph dna to produce a queen. However, it did appear the xenomorphs acting completely different from being the mindless killing machines or hunters. That one almost looked like a caretaker.

    • @bendover9813
      @bendover9813 Рік тому +17

      To be fair, it’s pretty likely xenomorphs have a psychic connection to Queens and eggs, as opposed to a physical link through pheromones or signaling. Each one has the potential to become a queen (the intelligence necessary, and the physical characteristics), and each one is connected to the others. This might mean that Ripley has gained respect in the consciousness of xenomorphs due to her repeatedly beating them and not being an idiot. They understand how much of a threat they are, and they probably hate humans who don’t listen to Ripley especially lol.

      For years I've wondered if Aliens sequel and novelisations downplayed Xeno intelligence making the swarm mentality a canon. Because in Alien, the Xeno didn't have much time to develop and could be considered a "baby" or or possibly "youth" after skin shedding. In fact when I first saw the movie, I thought that after some time, Alien would be capable of learning some basic controls of the ship's system... Now decades later I found stories of alternate ending ideas that kind of hinted that. Can't remember the source though, whether it was from Ridley or from the screenwriter of Starbeast.

    in the scene where the aliens slaughter one of their own to escape the cell it's possible that, rather than being decided by social hierarchy, they just made that decision and picked one of their own for purely practical reasons, or maybe even the one volunteered to be sacrificed. in ants we see that in times of combat they'll actually perform a sort of triage, and only provide aid to fellow ants who have lost fewer than 1/4 of their legs. we also see among all hive animals that the young are cared for communally, with all drones making special effort to protect and feed the larva/babies. many of the times we see xenomorphs is in cases of an isolated drone being born and existing entirely alone, and its possible that as a colony grows and increases its cumulative knowledge the individual members become smarter, and more capable of reasoning. to this end it's entirely possible that, given enough time, a xenomorph colony will develop into a more civilized and less outwardly aggressive society. but all the same, they need other species for both reproduction and food, so likely they simply have less empathy for outside species than they do for each other. most likely there's a limit to the amount of empathy they could show. after all, you may think cows are great and not like to see them hurt, but you'll still eat hamburgers.

    They are working off of the same intellect as us and probably beyond. As seen in aliens the queen was able to see and understand ripleys threat to her eggs and called off her drones and warriors.
    The difference between us and them is they are a hive mind rather than individual thinker with a brooding desire to infest and grow there hive and numbers. As far as empathy vs cold blooded killer goes, I'm more than positive they can show mercy or empathy as the alien in alien 1 had ample opportunity to kill ripleys cat but doesn't, if it was a mindless killer than it would have made no exception for her feline companion and would have summarily extinguished the little pet's life.

      The queen would not allow a single Xenomorph to perish so long as its in her power. When something threatens the hive of course she will order her Xenomorph to defend the hive at any cost but it will never be her intention for a single xeno to perish. Unless there is a larger reasoning for it, an example of this is in alien ressurection where she orders some of her aliens to kill another so they can escape there cell.

      this also indicates why the aliens despite being right next to the marines in the nest (as seen when one attacks detrich) do not become agressive until the marines kill a chest burster. and every single marine death in the film is a direct result of the marines (detrich's flamer hitting frost, the ammo exploding killing crowe, vasquez killing an alien and splashing drake, vasquez and gormen blowing themselves up, ferro crashing the dropship) every time we see the aliens attack someone they drag them away to the nest (apone, detrich, weizbowski, hudson, burke), the aliens do not seam to be concerned with killing but rather capturing hosts
      also the only on screen death seen in alien is parker who was killed while fighting with the alien (we do not see lambert's death and it's possible that she wasn't actually killed as the novel of aliens indicates the alien tail spike contains a paralysing agent, though there's also the possibility that she would suffer the same fate as brett given the shot of the tail going between the legs was filmed for brett's death)

      The Alien from the first film was intelligent and extremely sadistic. The original script had Ripley cast off in the escape pod to detonate the Nostromo and it was supposed to cut to a shot of the ship and her dialogue from the end of the film where she's broadcasting what happened.Then it cuts to inside the pod where you see a dead Ripley and the Alien is operating the ship and mimicking Ripley's voice on the broadcast to lure more people to it.
      The whole dumb animal aspect didn't get introduced until Cameron got his grubby mits on the IP.
      And unfortunately pretty much everything in the series since then has based the alien on Camerons whaling space ants. There wasn't even supposed to be a queen. And the Acid blood was never confirmed to actually be in the alien, the only time we saw it was in the facehugger.

Keep in mind pretty much everything in the Wild seems aggressive to us but majority of animals are simply defending themselves, some can even revert into this way of thinking if the conditions and interactions change and their instincts are strong enough (cats being the biggest example)

      I had imagined the Xenomorph XX121 was inherently inimical to all other life and was sadistic from birth. Apparently, it requires its prey to be terrified, the more afraid they are the tastier the meat. Plus fear seems to be vital to other functions that the Xenomorph XX121 requires of potential hosts for its young, according to the Alien - Resurrection novelisation. Terrified hosts accelerate the development of the larva to the point where they can emerge from their hosts, and as with the adult Xeno, fear flavours the meat with essential nutrients for the continued development of the larva until its first moulting. When its transformation into the adult form is complete, its inborn instinct to indulge its hatred and sadism inspires the necessary terror that makes its prey easier to consume and digest. The intelligence and memories it obtains from its victims aids in evolving its capacity to inflict terror and suffering on future victims.

    Good analysis of the Xenomorphs. In none of the films from the early Alien series , Prometheus, or Alien Covenant do we ever see them eat any of the humans they kill. Based on that, I think you're correct that they are biological weapons designed by the engineers to kill humans, since the engineers "changed their minds" about us.
    But that raises some questions - 1. are they Overkill- why do they kill every type of animal, including their own species (after David killed Dr. Holloway, and released the cargo on the engineer's planet.) 2. How do they behave in "hive" daily, to each other, and communicate with each other? 3. Like you said, are they capable of individual thought, creativity, and do they have motivations beyond just murderous animalistic impulses?
    Honestly, Ridley Scott and the other creators of the franchise could make another one, and answer some more questions left at the end of Covenant.

While the gestation period of the chest burster is in effect it also absorbs dominant genetic traits of its host to intertwine with its own DNA.

      4. They can benefit from instant communication/transmission of critical information needed for the survival of the there kind thru there hive mind link.
      5.They are far stronger than humans, as in alien vs predator 1 a Xenomorph effortlessly lifts a predator off the ground with its tail from the crawlspace above.
      6.They have incredible speed and agility.
      7.They can see effortlessly in the darkest of environments though some speculate to a more psionic form of vision along with a pheromone based interface to understand there environments. 8.They have the ultimate defense mechanism upon death by wich they spatter volatile caustic acid wherever they may fall essentially making any 1 Xenomorph in combat a potential suicide bomber like problem to there enemies. Especially when in a space vessel where it has a specific enclosed environment that the inhabitants of the vessel need to live.
      This is but a small list of things that makes them far superior to humans. With all these advantages they also will take any advantageous DNA strands from its host to further its capabilities against it while also suiting it better for the environment that the host may live in. Ultimately they have a very unique set of genetics that give them an edge against most species and there is plenty more that could be put on this list.

    In the novels that follow “out of the shadows” it is shown that, at least collectively, they are intelligent enough to recognize when a group of people is more work to capture and sometimes even show fear. In one of the novels, beneath a desert silicon mine, a subterranean hive directly descended from the Acheron colony recognized one of the miners as the “Queenslayer’s blood” according to a short passage from the POV of the hive. This guy was just Ellen Ripley’s great great grandchild. But they remember her bloodline. To an extent Newt and Hicks as well. This can also be seen in Alien Isolation. Amanda begins to fight back, playing essential roles in major blows to the well being of the Sevastopol hive. By the end, multiple hunting packs have been redirected to hunt down *one 20 something woman* a head shorter than her mother! If you put up enough of a fight, they will try to use overwhelming force to deal with you. If you escape and the hive lives to expand? Not even your great great grandkids will get off easy. In other words, to use JERI’s phrase, “they know a sonuvabitch when they see one”

    To me it appears that once face-hugger infests a biological form, it inherits not only its physical features, but mental as well. I would go even a bit deeper : if You notice how xenomorphs acts, they can almost read its victims intention on some instinctive level. I think that maybe this is what gives them their tremendous advantage over victims. They know from birth how their originator race will react, what is its fears and how to hide/move/multiply in enemy environment.
    Since the first movie, aliens act almost in a supernatural way - spreading fear, evading its hunters, predicting enemy moves. To me, this is something above intelligence or hive mind. I don't wish to engage in mysticism or 6th sense theories, but I do submit these ideas as a food for thought.

It means that (Example) when a baby duck is born it already has a set of instincts, it’d be easier to say preprogrammed. But humans, we aren’t hardwired or preprogrammed, we can learn other things besides involuntary actions like breathing, we learned to: walk, talk, create inventions beyond belief.

Like in Aliens when they keep to attack even though they are getting ripped apart by the sentry guns ( M56 Smartguns ) if natural animals behaved aggressively to that extent they would have gone extinct long ago, maybe never even evolved past a point.

      They usually come to an understanding between each other of who is the alpha which is then referred to as Empress but usually the empress of a xenomorph planet mutates further(larger and with more crests on its head) to be able to control every other queen on that planet through the hive mind.

      this is touched on in the comics. it's indicated that if there are two queens in a next (a newborn and a hive queen) they will either fight for dominance or one will flee to set up a new hive (though this is only speculation by one researcher based on the agression seen in the species)
      another comic (which shows the alien homeworld) indicates that when two queens rise in close proximity the hives battle it out for resources until only one hive remains thus keeping the species in check and preventing them from overwhelming the ecosystem.

    • @crwydryny
      @crwydryny 6 років тому

      that depends. there are several "speculated aliens predetors" in the expanded universe and at least one shown in the comics (though the canon of the comics is sketchy as some are considered canon while others are not, I don't have access to that particular comic right now so I can't check if that is one that is considered canon)
      the one predator that is shown is a (if memory serves) a green skinned beast man like creature (like the warhammer orcs) who break into alien nests to get the eggs which they eat.
      another predator is speculated by LaSalle Bionational in one comic (can't remember which one) where a scientist speculates on what the alien homeworld must be like and how the alien is just as likely to have predators on it's own homeworld as any species but this is pure speculation.
      yet another is speculated by dr orona in another comic where he talks about his theory of alien propagation and how the queens are naturally agressive towards one another. one panel in this comic shows a creature attack the young queen and it's drones resulting in the surviving drones to use the dead bodies of both species to reinforce the hive for the growing queen but again this is speculation.
      the only appearance of the alien "homeworld" indicates that the aliens are split into hives that battle between themselves for resources but again as this is in the comics the canon is questionable

    • @taddad2641
      @taddad2641 6 років тому

      both of those are instinctual reactions. the fox gets too excited with having a foodsource and does not have the intelligence to gauge what it needs to eat t obe full. only what is vulnerable neough to feed on without major injury.
      cats have a tendency to pounce on anyhting moving so they don't udnerstand that they had killed that damn mouse five minutes ago.
      there is not direct cruelty. more predators kill to eat and any pain or prolongness to the demise of their food is simply a result of their method of killing.

      Tad Dad Personally, I think it’s naive to believe that humans hunting for fun, killing for sport, doesn’t tap into exactly the same instinctual reaction. We are after all just animals too, who have only recently known plentiful food, and for infinitely longer scratched and scrabbled to survive hunting and gathering. How did our famine familiar antecedents react in an environment suddenly surrounded by a glut of their own prey animals? Not too differently from that fox, I imagine.

If for example you accept Alien Isolation as cannon then Xeno's absolutely fear for their lives when introduced to the business end of a flame thrower and will run their stank asses away in short order, usually whilst screaming it's head off. So it feels pain and fear and has a flight response of its own in order to avoid pain and fear. So they absolutely max out in the pussy department when you're rollin' with flames n shit.
