The fact that it can build and engineer cars and planes and is able to travel through space. Oh, wait...

It's a fucking space tiger. It's a great, deadly and very resilient hunter. But that's it.

Strong exoskeleton, high intelligence, rapid development, can adapt to different atmospheres, rapid evolution and adaptation of the species due to the parasitic aspect, can survive long periods of time without food, propagates fast in areas with suitable hosts.

Extremely adaptable.
But surely there's more to merit in what constitutes a perfect organism.

I fucking hate how the dog/ox alien lost the biomechanical look of the original Xeno's. At least the ones in Resurrection had an excuse for looking like giant turds.
>>
>>84207971
sadly all true, but if Scott and Giger had done what they wanted to in 79 you would have seen that the Xenos actually did all of that but some calamity had fallen on them and they reverted to primal creatures. Giger even did murals about it.

>>84207802
They're not. It's debatable they even count as "organisms", unless you expand the definition of life to include viruses since the xenos require hosts to reproduce. It's obvious they were originally intended to be bioweapons designed by the space jockeys that went horribly wrong and decimated their race (cold war-era nuclear weapons reference anyone?), and Weyland wanted them some of that.

Then Scott lost his mind and tried to shoehorn in a bunch of Evangelion-tier pointless religious symbolism and crap about evolution that fundamentally misunderstands how evolution works.

No sex

The original Alien was a guy that took their victims to turn them into eggs, getting their best genetic aspects to improve the specie.

Basically it was parasitical a self sustained organism, that it's way to reproduce was to turn everytbody else as them.
>>
>>84214905

what the hell is wrong with that head that creature is not an 200 IQ physics professor, why the retarded cranium
>>
>>84214959
And that's why they were so wicked and violent, it was their reproductive instinct...until Cameron came with the "save the Queen" garbage.
>>
>>84207802
Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't androids been the only one to say this (can't remember if Lance Henriksen said it in Alien 3)? They obviously have a massively different perspective.
>>
>>84207802

It actually isn't. That's just Ash's outsized appreciation for an overtly hostile organism, because Ash is literally inhuman and has contempt for his creators, same as David.

We never see an individual alien or a colony of aliens surviving longer than, say, a few weeks, or months. They have a way of being so hostile that their presence militates whatever species they're antagonizing (humans, predators) toward their (the aliens') destruction. They're an artificially created organism which is "too violent" in the sense that they didn't evolve normally, but were created by some meddlers to be sport-animals, killing-machines and so on, and not actually naturally evolved animals that, as Agent Smith said, "naturally find an equilibrium with their environment." No, no such equilibrium is found (killing everything else, setting up a colony maybe, and pretty much going to sleep does not count as an equilibrium).
>>
>>84215143

You're on the right track. Misanthropic androids are in a better position to hold this kind of view. Even Bishop, who was successfully "inhibited" in his own design, still appreciated the "magnificient" specimens.

But then humans and (gyonids) are capable of taking the opposing views. See the terrible Resurrection for this.
>>
>>84208506
autists aren't people anon
>>
>>84209195

Religion has been present in the franchise, one way or another, since near the beginning.

The eggs were originally supposed to have one vagina-like slit opening. The studio complained that it was too much so Giger changed it to be a "+" opening, which he salvaged as an opportunity to poke fun at the Christian cross.

Android named Bishop, colony of monkish convicts, a literal "religious test" about competency to run a spaceship properly, Christian androids which abhor the abomination of alien/human experimentation, a prototypical alien designated by its designers as "the deacon". Jesus has been a bigger spook in the series lately but it was always there to some extent.

>>84215297
i agree regarding the xenomorphs, but i have to add as a sidenote that there is no equilibrium on earth. when they tried in the 60-70s to make mathematical models for ecosystems and find out why they worked and how an equilibrium was created, it turned out that it's all chaos, nothing lasts, populations and even species come and go without any regularity.

>>84216136

That's fair. That's why I wanted to couch my Agent Smith reference as simply a reference to another piece of science fiction (speculation on our fictional worlds), and not pretend that "muh equilibrium" is science fact. It's just another idea that I got from watching a made-up movie.

If this really happened then they'd trully be the perfect organisms. They'd also be pretty close to being immortals.
>>
>>84216718
This was part of the original script. The murderous xenomoprh we all know and love would have been its initial stages. Then it would mature and behave more civilized. Alien has a fascinating development process before it reached the big screen.
>>
>>84216718
It may be really easy for a xenomorph to live, specially considering it doens't need to eat and is probably immune to many bacteries and who knows what more...
