  1. Meh….don’t really see the problem with facehugers tho 🤷🏽‍♂️.
    For one the face huggers have legs and are quite fast …they can chase you! you don’t actually have to ‘stupidly’ stand right over a pod to be gotten by one … just remember Aliens (Alien 2) …it was chasing Ripley and Newt around and they barely escaped.
    This seems to me like it makes it TOO easy to become a Xenomorph…. and Kind of removes one of the cool, unique and terrifying aspects of the Aliens classic design of how you become one… just my 2 cents …

    … if it ain’t broke …🤷🏽‍♂️

  2. So, the major problem that fans (not me) is that humans have innate curiosity, and tend to stick their noses where they don’t belong. The only way they’d learn their lesson, is if they listened to Ripley, which no one ever did.

  3. This “problem” assumes that humans are the Xenomorph’s primary prey. They aren’t. Embryos can be implanted in any living thing of sufficient size. The reason many don’t take “proper precautions” is because so few survive the encounter to pass along the information. And even the alien race of xenomorph breeders, with all their precautions, sometimes fall victim to the face huggers, as is shown in that same opening scene of Alien.

  4. I don’t recall anyone anytime complaining that the humans looking at unknown object as stupid.
    Humans are naturally curious, so makes complete sense.
    As for when humans are aware of them, we already saw that in Alien 2, where they avoided/torched the eggs and we saw the face-huggers clearly running and jumping around the room.
    So what exactly is the issue?
    Personally I don’t like that idea of being formed into an Alien by a bug bite.
    Thats been done before!
    Atleast with the face-huggers, this was unique to the Alien franchise.

  5. So they’re basically going to take away one of the coolest and most terrifying aspects of the Alien™ franchise and instead implement a tedious and simplified element to encounters with alien combatants.. by using an alien-ified version of a common mosquito… facehuggers are awesome entirely because they are unlike anything we’ve seen before in the animal kingdom!

    I don’t see the issue with continuing to use facehuggers as a means to impregnate human hosts. By removing them from the films, it’s basically saying that the Xenomorphs weren’t actually the perfect alien species after all, which was the whole point of the movies (despite being eventually outwitted by a lone, quick-witted and resourceful human).

    Any writer worth their salt would surely be able to keep the status quo whilst making facehuggers more adaptable at overcoming unit-wide protective measures, and impregnating their prey without relying on acts of reckless stupidity to do so.
