Not to mention that the queen doesn't need an egg sac to reproduce, she can inject her eggs into viable hosts just like how a female wasp can egg sting a catapillar and impregnate it. My guess is that the queen either had another reproductive system when she broke off her sac and stowed away on the Sulaco. I saw somewhere on the net an unofficial chart of the alien queen's anatomy and there were a few ducts that ran from where her egg sac starts which is right underneath her tail

@@EvilXero359 Absolutely. The queen never needed that long egg sac to lay eggs. That sac was just so she could place eggs around a large area. She can lay eggs out of her body without that. That doesn't lay the eggs, the queen does. So she never needed the egg sac. That would grow over time as she ran out of space to lay eggs, so she didn't have to move around her massive bulk, she could just hang there and lay constantly. And the sac would move around placing the eggs she laid around the room she was in. I just couldn't get how people couldn't see this. Why does she need that sac to produce the eggs? She doesn't. She never did. That queen was not born with that long egg sac attached to her. Otherwise it would likely kill her to rip away from it like she did.

Let's not go overboard.

For some reason, I can see the Hybrid as acting a lot more aggressive than the Xenomorph. I know that's saying a lot but here's what I mean; Xenomorphs are generally stealth hunters, lurking in shadows and out of sight to pounce on you, whereas I can easily see the Hybrid actively roaring and screaming as it doggedly runs after each and every person it can. Something about its face, with those beady red eyes, makes me think it'd behave more maniacally and frenzied, like the human part of it is crazy with fear and confusion and the Xeno part is actively using that to fuel its actions. Contrasting this to the more cautious and stealthy behaviour of the Xenomorph and I think it'd be a horrifying and jarring sight in a live action movie.

I only have one thing to add to the Alien 3 debate, how come no one thought to put an Egg inside the landing gear cavity of the Dropship? The queen was hidden in there for some time and she could have deposited it in that area in the time between escaping Acheron and revealing herself inside the Sulaco, also, the metamorphosis burster is a GREAT idea, an Adult Xenomorph emerging through a host is Terrifying indeed.

Even though I don't mind the original Alien 3 myself, he just seems to give all the loved characters of Aliens a better ending, while still leaving room for a fourth. I feel like the characters Bishop and Hicks needed more exploring, which in this version we do get more of an insight. I do wish they had done this rather than the original Alien 3 through but am glade that they've done comics and audio books. Also, you should do a video on the short story 'Broken' which gives the character Bishop more background. Anyway, Thanks Alien Theory!

I read the this graphic novel recently and it definitely had some interesting ideas that appeared later in the Alien series, although Gibson says in his foreword that he was working from a treatment so it's unclear which ideas he came up and which were part of the treatment. The Xenomorph/Human hybrids featured in Alien resurrection and them being aggressive towards standard Xenomorphs is also in his script, they also explicitly discuss the Xenomorphs being a developed weapon rather than a naturally occuring lifeform which is a major plot-point of Prometheus and Covenant. It would be interesting to know exactly who came up with these ideas.

If you go by the prequels, there's really no good answer to the question aside from "just cause" (i.e., narrative convenience). But a lot of the expanded universe works (e.g., books and graphic novels) depict the species that created/cultivated the xenomorphs as being Abusive Precursors. Right bastards that other galactic civs hated and feared. Even the Yautja had a war/run ins with them according to the "newer" books. The xenomorphs are less of defense against a greater threat; more of a case of a tool used by the greater threat to punch down against everyone else.

Apologies to all for the necro-post but I found this post and question quite interesting. Particularly with the current day war and the push towards automated weapons platforms in the forms of drone warfare. The simple answer as to who or what would need such things; A military mind would likely argue that you can always use more and better weapons. We need look no further than the research and development of biological and chemical weapons. The majority of our species sees the development of such weapons as borderline pure evil yet many of the most advanced nations have in the past and likely are currently developing such weapons. Why? Because. Because we always need better weapons. Or so the idiots at the top think. It is one of the points I always hated about the Aliens expanded universe. The constant obsession with creating a new weapon out of a nearly uncontrollable beast. Yet, despite the very real fears and warnings against developing AI for military applications, we are running headlong into creating our very own Skynet scenario. Humans as a species, while possessing many great gifts of intellect are quite brainless. We have a galaxy worth of resources to use and capitalize on yet we fight over a single planet worth of resources. So petty and small minded. We waste valuable assets to kill ourselves while we remain virtually defenseless against a stray asteroid that could in a blink erase us all from creation. It is in that instance that I can see the "Who and what would want one." We would. Because one more weapon. Doesn't matter that the weapon would annihilate us. Doesn't matter that it is functionally worthless to us. We always want the next weapon. Any way, thank you to those who take the time to read this necro-post. Apologies once again.

This would have been a great segway from Aliens to Alien 3. And the whole idea of the Hybrid is terrifying and could create some very interesting (and gorey) scenes and movie(s). Would love to see this idea being expanded upon, or at least referenced more like in Prometheus / Covenant.

Thanks for doing this video AT. I read the leaks of the Gibson script years ago, and I loved seeing it come alive in the comics. I have always wondered why people hated Alien 3 so much and touted this as what should have been, especially when the prequels came out and everybody hated them too. I Adore this franchise and I just can't stand the negativity of it's fan base. The Promethian story is where we were headed with Gibson, I wonder how many people back in the 90s would have shaped the fandom through today by hating on the Gibson Alien 3 movie if it had ever come to be.

It truly is amazing how many fantastic concepts never made it past the cutting room floor. I love Alien 3, and the final product we got, but this concept definitely needs to be in a future installment down the line.

Great video brother keep it up

as for the last question - "Do you think we'll see the hybrid?" *NOPE* i realized when you covered Feifel's transformation from the original proto-xeno design is that it comes down to licesnes and royalties. Maybe Gibson asked for too much or Fox didn't want to make the effort to license those designs, hence they took the concepts and redesigned them.

They should have made Alien 0 ( where they made a story about Space Jockeys vs Alien's origin ) , Not Humans. Then, their ship crash lands and Alien 1 starts...

The transport ship carrying those eggs crashes into LV-426 (i like to imagine it was attacked by Predators or "gets out" (The Predator/ AVP2)). Alien starts (Alien/ Aliens).

Also, some could appear in more than one movies, perhaps in some of the movies they could appear together etc. but not necessarily. We could have incredible movies. Also, today, we probably do have the tech background to create a series. It would cost less to create a series than it would have 20-30 years ago if CGI is considered.

I saw "alien 3" and I was really confused with the hybrid alien since it was on alien resurrection... then I remembered the never filmed script of alien 3 lol

I just recently read the William Gibson's Alien 3 comic and I have to say the concept of the hybrid was cool and its design was fierce looking and its birth was horrific but I found it strange that the "pure blood" (if you wanna call it that) xenomorph rejected the hybrid and even killed it at the end, I guess it sensed it wasn't 100% like it and took it as some kind of abomination kinda like how Predators look at Predaliens

I remember reading the concept script on AVP.net quite a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised with it and immediately bought the audiobook and it was released.

The only downside to the comic adaptation was the art style and the lack in feeling of suspense due to the coloring and not enough emphasis on the hybrid.

I would love to see that transformation in Live Action!!

I luv this chanel

I just recently found this on audible, and it's not until I find the graphic novel that I finally understand the ramifications and horrific terror of the transformation. Just imagine if that'd happened. It'd be worse than resident evil's t-virus as you wouldn't know what was happening until the moment it happened, especially if you were somehow aware of it the second before your mind disappeared. If anything, an airborne strain of xenos would be MUCH worse than facehuggers; those would just happen one at a time and would depend on how many eggs were already on hand, but with an airborne means of infection, you could infect hundreds or thousands, and you wouldn't know until it was too late

Alien Covenant recycled the hybrids idea in Gibson's Alien 3
