I have a few questions about Sgt. Windrix. I've seen him described as a "new character" and an official addition to the
Aliens universe with the blessing of 20th Century Fox, but what does that mean? Will the figure have an in-universe bio? Is he going to be connected to the Marine contingent of the
Sulaco in some way? If you go by the
Colonial Marines Tech Manual, there should be a total of 14 personnel in a USCM infantry section, including the CO, android, dropship crew, section Sgt. and APC driver. In
Aliens, there is a total of 13 personnel, not counting Burke and Ripley, and (so far as I know) no designated driver for the APC. Is Windrix the missing Marine?
That screams:
defensive 
Not really a direction you'd be advised to take, considering that the same criteria applies to your own posts, more so than mine, really. Attempts to laugh away one's opponent are a fairly common sign of nervousness/defensiveness, and you're obviously a quite a bit more invested in the lol-smiley-mockery than I have been.
Not so.
Not really, you acknowledged my point, wasn't so hard was it?
If you want to agree with me that facehuggers are weaksauce-weak when not attacking an oblivious person in a bulky spacesuit with a huge dome helmet, be my guest...
So you're saying, the present argument does have bearing for what I said, great!
No, I'm saying that your argument is invalidated by its own anachronism.
Additionally, even beyond that, it should be obvious that the LV-426 Space Jockey was not killed by "trilobite" infestation as you claim, as evidenced by the chestburster-type hole in his torso, quite distinct from the method of emergence employed by
Prometheus's pseudo-xenomorph.
Considering how little you knew about everything surrounding the xenomorph back then, yes really.
Given your inability to distinguish between the
Alien and
Prometheus Space Jockeys, even given the obvious differences, you're not really in a position to make such assertions.
Mhm his helmet is big, yes, but his head is not that much bigger than a human head, sorry, wrong yet again, if it was a facehugger, it's possible.
Tell me, have you actually watched the original
Alien?
That was actually a very smart plot device, sorry, wrong again.
It served a purpose for the creative team, which is the point, here.
Actually those were the ventilation ducts, it's understandable they thought of big vents for such a big ship at the time, even for today's sci-fi that's not discredited.
*sigh*
I
know they're supposed to be ventilation ducts, but never mind that. What of "today's sci-fi", exactly, other than dramatic convenience, supports a vessel the size of the
Nostromo packing so much ductwork, and on such a scale? Please be specific.
Actually, at the time, that was one hell of a well appreciated plot twist, considering it was not common to see a female protagonist or hero.
But I have to admit that the alternative ending would have been interesting but no way jose I would have traded it for the franchise female hero Ripley turned out to be.
So what you picture here as a bad thing, was actually a good thing.
Again, you're missing my point rather completely. This isn't about "bad things" versus "good things", it's what creative decisions serve the experience of the medium that the story exists as part of.
Since you brought it up, however, making Ripley the central figure of the film franchise can be reasonably described as a "bad thing", as that is what ultimately killed it. Too many trips to the well and all that sort of thing. They should have gone with William Gibson's screenplay for
Alien 3 and handed the torch to Hicks.
Not really, considering that ACM didn't have the compelling story for starters, neither the charming characters and the memorable script and dialogue, it tried to capitalize on the style without putting effort to the substance, so again, silly it's to try (and yet again fail for the 2nd time) to bash the masterpiece that inspired that tasteless POS
One might reasonably call
Alien 3 or
Alien Resurrection tasteless pieces of excrement. Throwing the same terms at something merely mediocre at worst, like A:CM, simply looks silly, as does this reverential talk of a "masterpiece" as though
Alien was Beethoven's ninth symphony, or something to that effect.
The technical issues are just so many for me to even entertain on them
Ah, you're a console gamer...
and it's not hypocritical as it is just plain good observation and common sense
I'm sorry, but I can't take that seriously. Not from you, and your apparent difficulties with reading comprehension.
How? Explain it to me. Am I acting like an oversensitive crybaby, defending a ****ty game with baseless arguments?
No, you're acting like an oversensitive crybaby, attacking an average game with baseless arguments.
*********, meet the door. Don't let it hit you on the way out.
As I believe I said before, pot, meet kettle.
I don't mind the design really. The whole point of the alien though is that it's "alien". Not "alien bug".

Decided to sculpt a "neutral" expression of Pvt. Hudson because - as cool as the head sculpt is - having Hudson on my shelf with that "Game Over" expression was getting old. We can't forget who this guy was before having his a$$ handed to him....The "Ultimate Badass....State of the Badass Art."
Did he get his *** handed to him? He managed to make it out of the hive all right, and only really freaked out when it looked as though they were going to be trapped on the planet after the dropship crash...
So a neutral facial sculpt is fitting with a possible grin to come later. I'm also working on a neutral sculpt for Hicks along with some variants. Removable helmets are also being sculpted. I plan on sculpting other character likenesses but holding off to see what NECA may come up with. Good bet some of the less popular characters won't be produced so that has possibilities. Will do a paint up of the Hudson head sculpt very soon. If all goes well, I may sell a very limited amount. We'll see.
Damnit, Sith! Why do you have to be so awesome?!?
Since as you feebly rebutted that it was there not because it made sense but because it served a purpose, which in this case it obviously does both 
You know, kind of a big thing, George Lucas, went crazy, rings a bell?
