You should look at some of the books. A major point of Sea of Sorrows is that the aliens recognize Ripleys descendants through blood.
Yeah I did look at that but that seems to have more to do with their moderate telepathic abilities
This reminds me of the scene in Aliens when Ripley states "they cut the power".
yeah i mean its likely acts like that could be linked to the possibility of the xenomorphs genetic memory.
@@ProjectACHERON if there is enough resources and time, they can shed their predator skin and becoming more humanoid and earth animal if the host is animal if they follow o bannon script.
I wish the original Alien kept in the Xenomorph’s ability of vocal mimicry. It would be freaky for Xenos to mimic the voices of the hosts they’ve killed, to give people a false sense of hope that someone they lost in the hive or to a Xeno is still alive and can be saved
Yeah but in the original script drafts it could mimic Ripleys voice as well and not just Kane's still an amazing concept they could've kept
I always thought that part in the comic was interesting and how the Xenomorphs may indeed have some Genetic memory.
Yeah its very interesting!
Makes sense for Xenomorphs to have genetic memory, after all they mix the host's genetics with their own.
A fascinating concept, think of a Facehugger infecting your beloved pet but instead of killing you it keeps an eye on you at a distance and attacks anyone or anything who tries to threaten or kill your even other Xenomorphs.
Let alone, the instinct to protect someone or something that means a lot for you far surpasses what Xenomorphs are meant to do, which is to kill anything and everything on sight and expand.
And we see this in the Xenomorph that infected the boy's mother. Her instinct to protect her son and love for her son had overdriven the alien's original instincts to kill any and all life forms to expand.
Maternal instincts are a powerful thing and the concept of genetic memory has been played with throughout the expanded material, it's part of why the cult of immaculate incubation believed it was a form of "re-incarnation" that they were still themselves after being willingly infected. I seem to recall reading a comic where a hive actually grew a symbiotic relationship with at least a cell of the cult as they kept bringing willing (and unwilling) hosts to them causing them to become passive at least to a certain extent to them.
I have a theory
In aliens 1986 newts Father was the first to be face hugged right?
Wouldnt that mean the the queen decended from Newts Father? Since it was the first born?
And in the movie it kinda seemed intrestad/curious at newt and after Ripley saves her the Queen seemed to try to get newt back mabye the Queen
Had some memory of Newt
From her Father? I leave it up to you.
I believe there is a problem in your theory. In Alien, the Xenomorph was also the first, so to speak, and it wasn't a Queen. And since Alien 3 we know that there are special facehuggers that carrys a queen within them, and they look different than the facehugger who attacked Newt's father.
I would follow that up by saying a normal facehugger and xenomorph can eventually molt into a queen, meaning that a royal facehugger only exists to create queen by defult as a quicker solution. thereby making it entirely possible that the queen is the xenomorph born of newts father. however its just as likely that some other xenomorph could have molted into the queen or there could have in fact been a royal facehugger somewhere unseen.
Unless we know for sure what the lifespan is I can't imagine the Queen being a new $hatchling" facehugger. I'm if the opinion it was hibernating ,so to speak,. either in the Engineer/Space Jockey Vessel or somewhere nearby. If these creatures had a overly short lifespan and no natural mechanism for hibernating that would make them pretty poor threat for "planet hopping" as a species.
What you said at the end of the video about xeno’s becoming more human brings up something interesting. There was a comic and I don’t remember which one, but it showed a fossil bed and mixed in amongst the shells and little skeletons was what appeared to be a xenomorph embryo and one of the characters said that this wasn’t the first time earth has encountered this species.
found this one on the alien wiki: I wonder if you had something to do with it lol.
“ There is evidence that the Xenomorph hive mind also includes a collective memory that passes along even at a genetic level. Through the tests conducted on Ellen Ripley, it is revealed that the memory passed from Ripley onto the new generation of Xenomorphs allows them to read and understand different languages. Events on the LV-426 colony and the USM Auriga show that the species excels at observational learning. Another case of observational learning can be seen following a Xenomorph escaping its cell.”
Im not sure, someone was either inspired by my video and or either came to the same collisions as i did
I think genetic memory is very plausible with xenomorphs and I do love that concept. And though I really enjoyed The Cold Forge, I didn’t like the concept about the facehugger injecting just the goo (I’m guessing the writer took notes from Covenant) into hosts. If that was the case, the facehugger wouldn’t need to “hug” hosts at all; just squirt the fluid onto prey and let it be absorbed into them like the Neomorph. Dr Marcellus had a dream how she was affected by it so by her research I assume that can happen. I like to think the dark matter carries a microscopic embryonic cancer to help deliver it safely while suppressing the hosts immunity. Least that’s my head cannon.
Oh man, they should just forget about the black goo. Aliens and Alien 3 worked great without it.
@@fullgreys0n738 exactly. I don’t mind that it was the main proponent to create bio weapons but to take the place of embryos takes away the alien we love to fear.
It is interesting to note that human brain cells do not have nucleus’s, or a viable biological way to replicate neuron network yet, so we don’t transfer our memories into our DNA. But it has been proven that heart cells with nucleus do transfer substantial life memories in heart donors to clinical patient. Whereby significantly changing the personality, dreams, and memories of the new host. It has been widely proven already, patients receives heart transplants gained memories and new forensic knowledge of the deceased as to even track murder criminals. So it would be very possible that the silicone based xeno may have epigenetic silicone neuron network replicators and receptors.👍
Nice!
@@bebebutterbub1344 interesting! Plus, these are unknown creatures so they can surpass on how earth creatures normally are formed.
For those curious, Maxon’s story is from Aliens: dust to dust
Great vid bro. And I absolutely believe they pick up a lot more then just dna and shape from their host
Yeah it would make alot of sense!
I mean real life organisms might have genetic memory. No I'm not bullshitting anybody. A popular example that I can think of are butterfly's able to recognize odors and sensations scientists had subjected to them after they molted from caterpillars. Or if you want an even bigger mind fuck, female mice were conditioned to become discouraged by a certain aroma in another study after several trial experiments, and in an astonishing discovery when the female mice reproduced their young also had the same reaction to the scent even though they were never exposed to it during their development.
yeah its a very real possibility, i belive the key might be NCD non-coding DNA
The idea that the queen in Alien 3 had absorbed so many memories from Ripley so as to have Ripley's clone remember almost her entire previous life is an interesting and scary proposition. That would mean every xenomorph can vividly remember and recall the life of their host.
Makes sense, after all they combine their DNA with the host's DNA and genes.
While I wouldn't say every xeno could, Queens are well known to be much smarter and capable of higher thinking and planning. A drone formed from a 4 star military general probably is no different than any other drone. Let that drone become a Queen however....
Who knows?
@@smugreptile6695 I still would say BigChap in the first movie behaved very smart and adapted to it's environment so fast that it must had knowledge inherited from Kane
Brilliant and well done 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
It is an excellent explanation to the events of Resurrection. The Zenomorphs are totally alien in comparison to a humans measure of Sapience. Passing learned experience on from one drone to the next would make the Zenomorphs (if they are not already) the most direct threat to humanity in the Alien universe. Great video bro, been a fan for the channel a while now. Great to see this place trithing.
Haha tha ks so much my friend its great to see you have stuck around and continue to support me
@@ProjectACHERON Keep going bud. We'll get a decent movie again... one day...
Thank you!
You're very welcome, but thank you! no of this would be possible without the support our my wonderful community
I love to watch this videos while I study for my Epigenomics exam.
Haha nice, glad i can be of some entertainment during this trying time. Good luck with your studies.
Please teach me😍
Can you do a video about Xenomorph vs Praetamorph
Ill get to work
Very interesting. Because they found Lambert in the deleted scene in Alien. That could be a answer to it
The queen in ripley could’ve got mad at her own after seeing the poor kids mothers merry in a xeno
?
I wonder if Xenomorphs takes a dump.... or do their acid digest food really well 🤣🤣
Xenomorph verses yautja avp 3
Awesome video but you left out the Xenomorphs of LV-1201
What story is that from?
@@ProjectACHERON Alien versus Predator 2 and AVP2 Primal Hunt
What about predaliens they literally take trophies
I know this doesnt have to do with the video, but can someone pass me a link or information about the original script for alien covenant, known as paradise lost?
i would if i had it sorry
@@ProjectACHERON is ok
2381 is the 10th solar year 7th lunar year
I think at least Queens have
yeah i do😏
yeah its pretty much all but confirmed.
I like the comic.
But I think the comic should be seen as a stand-alone work and not mixed up with the overall Canon.
Because after all we have learned, drones follow their Queen's orders without any resistance.
(Remember the suicide attack in aliens against the sentry guns, or the sacrifice of one of their own in Resurraction)
The latter is more personal preference than a fact.
But when the host's feelings influence the behavior of the Xenomorph like in the comic, it takes away a lot of the aliens' horror.
Well i mean it is canon, i sort of like that it is though, it adds more questions and layers the xenomorphs.
@@ProjectACHERON Don't overthink it, in the end it's just a comic. And these have already had tons of questionable stuff.
Okay
This would make sense, why the clone transgenic-hybridized-synthetic Mr Weyland or even the Precursors, may have believed the xenos were the answer to their legacy literally, against the plague flood. I always thought the plot hole to why Ripley retained her invitrofertilized parent’s memory was some nanotechnology neuron network remapping reproduction/replication. But this theory puts the nail in the coffin; given that a silicone based lifeform would be ideally suited like a computer silicone memory nanochip- so would the xeno’s silicone based genomics. I remember in the avp game boss ,Mr Weyland vaguely boasting about becoming a god through xeno clones- to have a pseudo omniscience, the clone Weyland in a hive mind, transcending his consciousnesses into the synthetic bio mechanical clones. This theory of yours sure makes the Alien story much more interesting.👍
Thanks so much, i agree, it think it adds so many layers to the xenomorph and their possibilites with story telling.
it also explains why David did what he believed in so strongly; as he strangely thought to turn Shaw. I think your theory is much more consistent with the franchise as a whole, and better than just fan theory it has weight. also explains the Construct engineer synths motives in fire and stone comic avp and also other avp game endings.
also forgot to add that different hives that are enemies might not share the same dna memory since they have not shared the material, would also explain reasons why xenos can still hive mind for the queens; where as the newborn from5 can attack the queen for the Ripley 8 queen instead. Also toward the end of 5 the newborn was strangely connecting with Ripley in that weird love scene before , she fratricides it into space vacuum. I dont see how this can be in conflict with the aliens genocide series, where pple are saying they dont have gene mem since they attack each other or sacrifice. The antithesis against your view is harder to prove.
there are 2 alien queens in alien 4....the ripley clone that survived being on earth made the first queen you see in the film it iz a normal full grown queen....the ripley clone that wuz burned had a slit in her chest signaling from her cloning downfall the same genetic downfall to the 2nd queen you see that gave birth to the human alien hybrid....rite
?
@@ProjectACHERON it a trick in the film....lets say i did this....and i show the good ripley clone geting a queen removed from doctors then the queen that the sarge and doctor see iz that clone alien queen from her....it iz the better queen a normal queen....but then i show a bad clone ridley that wants to be burned killed if you notice i put a slit in her chest....that shows there iz another queen with that ridleys bad cloning of her self haz gone in to the queen that gives birth like a human to the human hybrid alien....giving the illusion there iz only one queen if you dont see that slit....
sadly no one wants to edit a video talk about that and wink over to hollywood if they saw it
Instinct is genetic memory?
Hmm its hard to define
I do.
My genes tell me everything I need to know.
Are the books actually lore or just something the author thought was cool back when the books came out? I mean I can imagine the novels and books during the last years might be seen as canon but not the old stuff.
Anything released after 2013-2014 is basically canon, with the exception of Alien: Bug hunt which is non-canon
Lambert tho
Genetic memory, so i just need to take a degree which is pre installed knowledge.....wowwwwwww...
