Growing up is about realizing that defining the difference between a predator, a parasite and a parasitoid is not possible and you'll be spending half your life arguing about what micro-predation is.
Although the original xenamorph's reproductive behavior was similar to a certain wasp, I once saw a documentary on termites. The termite queen had the same egg laying attachment to her body that the queen did in the 2nd movie (1986). An attachment that was roughly 5 times the length of the rest of her body. Cool audio Fake! LOVED IT!!!😊💚👍
Ah yes. The freaky wasps that implant their eggs into other insects. Giving them a chunky meal when they hatch. Makes me find wasps even more icky. Anyways. This is why I love sci-fi. Somebody can have a crazy idea and we can spend decades debating about it.
I love arguing about things I am woefully uneducated in "Wait you don't think Avatar is the stealthiest zombie movie ever do you?" Are we talking about the one with blue alains or the bending of elements?
for those too lazy to google, Loxothylacus panopei is a species od barnacle (a family of crustaceans that absolutely don't look like crustaceans). It reproduces by infesting a crab, growing a network of tendrils inside the crabs body, forming an egg sac underneath the crabs abdomen (where a female crab would usually carry her own eggs) and manipulating their behaviour so that they protect and take care of the parasitic egg sac. If they infest a male crab, they will hormonally castrate it so that it, too, will show female egg protection behaviour.
This conversation feels like something that was started after playing alien isolation with her and debating on whether SPOILERS sevastopol's hive had either a queen or followed alien 1's eggmorphing method.
Gigantic Alien fan here: can people please stop acting like Ridley Scott came up with Alien? Give credit to Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, the actual creators of Alien.
Well technically speaking ridley scott didnt come up with the idea of xenomorphs as a hive. He didn't film aliens, that was James Cameron, ridley hated the idea of them being a hive, he wanted 1 lone alien to give the idea of some Lovecraftian monster instead of being an alien bug.
I don't think I'm dumb, but I understood about a fifth of what was said. Tell me, did you just put a lot of work into reading the script fluently or did you already know some of the wasp facts?
something bugging me is the face huggers as technically they are holding the actual xenomorph embryo therefore the facehugger is probably either another creature that is being exploited by the xenomorph or have symbiotically adapted with the xenomorph, but then how does the face hugger benefit from their very short existence of attaching to a things face, depositing the embryo and then perishing Huh first time I have ever tried making a point in comment sections that may actually result in something, but who knows what will happen
This is weirdly a thing for me. I am truthfully thankful. Edit: i just googled loxothylacus panopaei, and now i remember why i was scared to go anywhere near lakes as a child lol. I once heard of this motherfu- *parasite* in a documentary when i was like 9, and we all know what kids' minds do with information like that. Thank you for reminding me, Fake. 🫀

It’s a perfect organism. Therefore not a wasp.
So, a crab. 🤔

I kinda agree with your take. The Cameron sequel was fun but almost completely different from alien in almost every way.
it's alien even to the alien franchise itself ?
So we have a Meteorologist Wife & now an Entomologist Friend. That's cool!
What about an archeologist girlfriend

I just saw Alien Romulus. This was convenient timing.
I can listen to you talk about anything for hours
The amount of nerd energy X3 love it
This is so specifically up my alley thank you Fake ajdwaldwjhqdldlwkq
smart people complain more. the key to happy life is to be dumb.
Up next arguing with your wife or girlfriend or best friend about if which Dragon ball series is the best
That's a very F-ed up wasp then...

“Ma’am, that’s cool and all, but all I asked was if you’d like fries with your meal.”
This comments section is on fire XD
See all that arguing is gonna get us killed
If you're like that with the Alien franchise, I don't wanna know what you would talk about Godzilla 1998
What about king Kong

Entomologist asmr is a thing? My life is complete

Just breathe, it's ok, I believe you.
(I still like Aliens better)
Oh you did NOT call Yellowjackets boring!
havent gotten a Fake video in my feed for a while, glad all the Alien Romulus content pushed me here
As an entomologist, this is surprisingly accurate
I love how she's going off about how xenomorphs must be wasps instead of the fact that it's just an entirely new species.
Does it also have six hydrocoptic marzelvanes fitted to the ambifacient lunar-waneshaft?
Yay!! New nightmare fuel. 🎉 💜
OK this was tres cool

It's an anthive
I want to google it, buuuuuuuuut I also want to sleep tonight. 😔
When is the soulmate series coming back?
How do you spell that word you said? Lockithypanopithai?
Loxothylacus panopaei
Do not google it unless you have that memory eraser from gravity falls lol
I hate wasps
First of all Xenomorphs arent wasps they’re not even bugs, cause they’re not from earth! they’re biomechanical “perfect” organisms
I love wasps. Got stung by one of them twice at the same spot as a kid, and my cousin told me i'd get superpowers like Spiderman.
That’s a terrifying power-set.
