Scene, the two team members get lost, the rest of the team goes back to base. The two guys are scared, hear from the base ship that something looked to be moving within the derelict. They move back to the Big Head chamber where the ampules are oozing.
Something moves in the ooze, it pops up to see them. A white fost of a snake like creature with cobra type hood and a nasty little mouth. Despite being s**t scared, one of them is all " ah...come here, come on " like it was a kitten.................????????????????????????????????????????? and then of course it attackes.
Sorry but if that ugly little thing had popped up in front of me, I would have legged it. Certainly would not have been treating it like a cute kitten. Badly written scene. Just jarred.
I cant argue for what you would have done. One was scared other more surprised. I for my self have seen my share of dumb people on you tube pissing on electrical wires and gotten eaten by bears and lions after venturing out side their cars to pet them. These guys was prospectors (working for Wyland). No offense to working class heroes but they werent the “office” type of guys. Also they found the chamber when moving out or atleast moving in the opposite direction after the scanner found movement. Here they got intercepted. Also who said the aliens was to be dangerous at this time?
And they wasn’t lost either as you beleive. Remember one of the them had the digimap. They ventured away on their own business not being part of the science team (this scene was actually shown). But when the others bugged out cause the storm they were too far off to have time to didi (or nobody notified them don’t recall).

I agree with the religious nut job element. The sacrifice to create life had to be symbolic or it does not make sense.
Most likely. I have seen humans commiting suicide for far less and far more bizarre things. I recall Jesus from ancient history.

However, creating the bio weapons which they could not control ( hence being wiped out on the LV423 derelict), does not make sense. If they used this as a weapon to clean the earth for their terraforming, then when they returned to earth, they would have been confronted by all sorts of aliens, made up from all the nastiest creatures that had evolved on earth and been morphed into new alien forms..
Actually if you saw the film it only happened if a human give birth to cross breed, they never tested this, it was a fluke. Looking at the first subject he only grows into a mutant berserker that was pretty tough. Not an alien. Who knows how long he would be like this? Probably die within a short time to be effective for later clean up.
Also the assertion that they would wipe out earth is also only a suggestion. We might get more information in later episodes or extended versions.

..not a nice thought when they could not even deal with the first step alien evolution in the derelict.
You mean the first Derelict in 79? It was actually killed, that’s why the crew died (ship got too damaged by acid) and put up the warning signal. Ship was full of primed eggs. Also that’s why the later giger alien has a limited life span, so they can go down and conquer the world after a while, and then collect all the eggs.

As for the dead engineers, where were all the dead first gen aliens ( AS SEEN AT THE VERY END )? Or did they commit mass suicide??
We didn’t see what the engineers were running from. It might just have been an alarm that there was a breach, much as was to happen in a normal Bio lab containing hazardous biological strains. The “1st gen “ actually arrived from a human cross breed and did probably not having anything to do with the engineers 3000 years earlier. Also I believe there is an internal engineer side plot not explained, ex why didn’t the last survivor pull out? Also for example what was the connection between the alien DNA and the engineers. See, in the chamber the alien fresque was the same place where the engineers placed their religious head. Goes back to the old stories about the ancient alien temple where they found the Aliens from the beginning in O’bannons story.
Also as of Scotts/Gigers original assertion of the Alien living three days to become more “controllable” could mean even if there was something hunting them it probably died way by it self after a while.

Surely such an advanced race would not view us as a nuisance ( are we going back to the day the earth stood still again? ) bit lame and been done to death.
You think too high of them. We tried to get rid of jews not long ago and we have the same DNA. How does that spell? This besides the above about being a suggestion.

Struggling to make sense of it unless the ultimate answer is full of huge holes in script development. Would love some assistance with this. Maybe my tiny brain is not up to the task.
No, I think you were too upset of what you saw and got so frustrated and embarrassed you missed the details. Also as opposed to other Holly wood franchise Cameron and Scott takes really good care of what we see. They don’t show anything that they don’t have thoughts about. Thats why I take my time writing this. If it was a Bruckenheimer film I would laugh and get my self some popcorn.

How about getting Gigers Alien back and bringing back the scares. I think the lack of the Giger Alien was disappointing. I know the creature has been ruined in 3, 4 AVP etc. But Ridley could have done it propely again.
Don’t worry it probably will.

Do we all miss the Giger Alien?
I personally miss the colonial marines more.
Hope it clears some things up.
