      The theories are fun and stuff, but took it too far and I think set people's expectations too high for things that won't be happening. I'm trying to bring people back to reality a little bit, but encourage the fun speculation at the same time.

      Big chap taking a nap throughout the whole movie is actually in character. He's more like a lurking serial killer and was not shown to be animalistic and aggressive as other xenomorphs (or you can say the sequels downgraded them). Probably will nap in the coccoon even when being studied (he be like 'I don't care if they poking me with needles and taking my DNA I'm just snoozing) then strike when the time comes then probably goes back to nap.

    I also have no high expectations. This new Alien film will go back to it's roots, so I expect the xenomorph has approximately the same screen time as the first Alien film. The first Alien film is 4 minutes shorter than Romulus. Most important to me is the story of the film, as long if it's good. Sometimes the revealing of the story in the film is more shocking than the xenomorph itself on screen.

      Look at it this way, each film's main xenomorph/Predator seems to have a unique personality. We had some smart, intelligent xenomorphs then some just mindless monsters. I do wonder where Scorched will sit in that spectrum.
      Alien Big Chap: Stalker with some serial killer tendencies and hints of darker intellect
      Aliens Queen: Big boss and also fiercely intelligent, can negotiate and use elevators
      Alien 3 Dog Alien: Fast, agile, totally feral and deadly, more like an OP killing machine
      Resurrection: Genetically altered, smart and also don't give a F about killing their own (likely a human trait)

    So looking forward to alien romulus . I think most fans who have been watching the trailers have suspected at the very least big chap is in the rock . Which is why they probably revealed this with the neca toy posters. A bit unfortunate big chap doesnt have a bigger role but hopefully smwe will get to know something interesting about it .

    People were already speculating about "Big Chap" so this doesn't even feel like a spoiler for me. I'm pretty meh about this honestly. I feel like a more reasonable tie to the first film would be that Ash was just trasmitting all of the data/genetic sequences of the dissected facehugger to Weyland-Yutani via MU/TH/UR and they set up Renaissance station to muck around with the "printing" of their own versions. It's still fine, it won't ruin my experience of the film.

The chance of finding something that small in space and going in some random direction away from Ripley's shuttle is extremely low. It was sheer luck that Ripley's shuttle was found and that probably had a beacon to home in on.

    Actually you saying it's not the original xenomorph (sorry, won't call it that silly BC name) actually makes me more excited for the film. That would be a cop out. Looking foward to these new Alien creatures. My expectations are simply hoping for a good, scary monster movie. I'm old enough to remember when there was only one Alien movie (saw Aliens when it first came out. I was just a kid but I had to! Scared the crap outta me!). So I've watch the series start strong then get bogged down with crossovers, pseudo-intellectual pap, etc. But judging by the trailers and what you're saying this film is a "return to form".

      Big Chap. It's not silly. If you're a real fan you'd research and respect why it's called that

    I don't get these fans complaining about spoilers. If you dont want things spoiled for you, DONT LOOK AT IT MR GENIUS. As for the upcoming Alien Romulus film? Its again being overly hyped, same as the last few that promiced something different. I hope its great, but not counting on it.

      It's hard not to look when every comments section is infected with spoilers because people are openly sharing the leaks that came out as if they are common knowledge. I have folks dropping major spoilers in every video comments section that could easily ruin the surprises for someone who is just scrolling through and wanting to avoid spoilers. I've seen it on every social media site too.
