Every New Xenomorph From Alien Romulus Explained (Spoilers)

Big Chap was the draw for me. Unfortunately, it is barely shown and dead in the film.

Yay! Saved me the price of a cinema ticket. 🎉

offspring reveal was insane

The last alien isn't new. I think in Resurrection, the Hybrid is incomplete. The one in Romulus is its complete form

If Big Chap survived, then the Alien Queen from Aliens definitely survived..

the offspring looked like an engineer/ xenomorph hybrid

I dont think the black goo was created by the engineers. I think it originally comes from the xenos, but the engineers figured out how to extract and use it the same way the romulus scientist did. That's my headcannon, anyway.

Thank you for this extremely watchable explanation of the xenomorphs.

I don't really like how they brought the original alien back. Yeah it's nice seeing him again but...

The reason I don't like it is because I have the official novelization of alien. At the end of the book, after the alien is sucked into space and blasted by the enginees, its body gives into pressure and explodes, killing it instantly.

So big chap shouldn't even be in this film.

Thanks for the video. I loved it.

From fachugging to bursting & from bursting to adulthood in romulus was significantly cut ... they were both bearly a scene apart

I wanted this to be good. But nope. Just another disappointment.

Why is everyone so obsessed with Big Chap? This is a completely new director. It's his movie. Ridley Scott was a producer. He had a couple small pieces that he helped with. Fede Alvarez is always going to make his movie his way. Using Big Chap for than a few seconds is just lazy and unoriginal. Alvarez is neither.

We don't need Big Chap in every single Alien media for it to be good. Xenomophs are so interesting because they don't need to be the same one over and over. It's a hive.

So sick of hearing and reading you casuals constantly get boners for Big Chap. It also exposes you for being a casual. You aren't impressing anyone with the nonstop Big Chap comments. We get it, you saw "Alien" as a kid. You used to maybe have a Big Chap action figure. Probably made by Neca. So what.

So many interesting details happened in Romulus that have vastly expanded or open many mores paths to explore and build toward. During and after watching I never once thought about BC. So many other options to think about.
I once had a vanilla ice cream cone. It was good. I could have only chose that flavor every time but I tried a different one one day and then a different one another day. Options are great. Romulus gives us many options way way beyond and more interesting than freaking Big Chap that was killed by Ripley. They gave the simple minds of the world the little BC throw because you people will take to the streets for one moronic opinion or another so they pleased you then moved on quickly. Thank God. Let's let BC rip. OK?

Dam its great to find answer here for that hybreed
It really hard to find answers about this

It's official. The Alien franchise is completely dead and beyond repair. RIP.

the Protomorph is easily my favorite. simply terrifying and competently displayed

Spoiler for Alien Romulus, it’s crap ☹️

Nice try Fede, see ya in a decade Alien fans.

all these wouldn't have happened if everyone kept their mouths shut.................

best movie since alien 2, it takes the lore of prometheus and does something cool with it unlike covenant

Spoiler: this was just Alien, again. They used the same robot, twist, getting in space suit, knocking alien out of spaceship, etc etc.

If you dont talk about the xeno that had electricity in its head I'll be so annoyed. No one is mentioning it and i need answers

One thing that somehow makes less and less sense with every new movie is why the Xenomorphs sometimes just kill people and sometimes abduct them to use them as hosts.
It seems totally random and the reason why I say it makes ever less sense is that the more we "learn" about the life cycle, the more obvious it becomes that they normally ought to try to preserve every human they can catch.

Then again, the whole life cycle makes no sense.
If those things can just grow from a Chest Burster to the size of a Big Chap within minutes without needing food, then why do they need to gestate in a human host in the first place?
They seem to be totally detached from the need to take in nutrients to grow anyways. Maybe I'm forgetting something, but as far as I know, the "Offspring" sucking on its mother was the first and only time we ever see any monster from the Xenomorph family actually eat something.

I guess the Neomorph who killed that woman in Covenant might have been eating when it was hunched over the corpse, not sure, but even if so, that makes 2 examples and both from weird hybrid-things and not actual Xenomorphs.

Also, if they are "silicone based" as Ash said in the first movie, they wouldn't be able to digest carbon based stuff like humans anyways, nor interbreed or interact on a genetic basis.
It would kind of be like having a baby with a glass bottle.

The aliens sucked and moved slow af, no motion no hustle

Not a bad film, though ironically it feels like the Xenomorphs were incredibly slow in this one, we never see them run full speed, crawl or pounce or even see a full body shot without shadows at any point.

It was one thing I liked about Covenant that we get to see Xenos at full ferocity, speed and power, granted the Protomorph does have longer limbs I kind of like that more than the human proportions if it affords faster movement animation.

Actually even Alien Resurrection had kind of speedier xenomorphs, while 3 having a runner adds that to the equation.

It was basically 1 and 2 where we saw them be really slow and ponderous because of special effects limitations. Kind of makes me question if Perfect organism applies to perfect predator because I suppose they don't need that much speed to kill, but still then why was the human hybrid allowed to be so much more competant than its original forms?

Avp movies basically had them all regularly speedy and agile too, contrasting how predators having anatomy closer to humans would be outclassed in speed.

They should’ve ended the film on a cliff hanger instead of having the hybrid being at the end of the movie

I was really surprised to see that big chap survived in space. Really shows the absolute perfection of the xenomorph

The last Alien human hibrib was ridiculous, very silly and the worst alien so far. As for the film it was a disappointment, far too many scenes that were very close to those in Alien and Aliens. I should have waited for the DVD.

So are these face huggers clones? I always wondered why these face huggers have a darker color then then classic ones and the xenos we see in this movie are they clones of the big chap sense they are used from its dna 🧬 or are they modified?

When I saw the scene with The offspring when I went to go see the movie I thought to myself the entire offspring thing is a reference to the newborn from alien Resurrection

Good effort! 👍

This movie is a great addition to the franchise, I really enjoyed it, although it took 30 minutes or so to warm up.

Scorched was naturally a different beast compared to the rest, slick and cunning.

Lucky for Rain, her brother Andy was there to save her from it.

Ian Holms CGI was done well overall and the offspring was a pleasant but familiar surprise.

The black goo seems to come from the xenomorph, the engineers look like to have used it to advance themselves at some point, like Rook was trying to do at Romulus’s point.

What comes first? The chicken/xenomorph or the egg/black goo.

fave was the human xeno hybrid, super interesting

I'm know to local ladies as "The Face Hugger" I have a few beers then hug their faces & deposit my genetic material

The scary thing is now we know her majesty is definitely floating about in space in her royal chrysalis just waiting to see a planet

Something thats worth mentioning is that again we have a situation where the xenomorphs we see aren't part of the main strain but are an offshoot made by humanity, as the facehuggers were made through reverse-engineering which as we can see made some changes to their biology, with the drones dome not being the smooth shape, making "Big Chap" the only original Xenomorph entity on the Romulus.

The cocoone was a vargina with acidic ph looool

The Offspring was ugly AF!!! but it was the best one. It was creapy. Looks like it sucks blood too or something when it killed it's "Mother" technically.

Yes, ribcage was definitely the first body part I thought of

Offspring variant kinda looking like SCP shyguy

man your accent is so strong you could have made it into the movie cast

Kinda wish the Big Chap had a bit more screen time instead of only being teased but that's just me 😞

Only gripe with the movie was I was hoping the big chap was back in more than just a cameo of its dead body hanging from some chains

Only trailer is good but alien romulus is not that movie which we were expected. In my point of view its an average movie' lot of sceen picturized childishly and try to create horror to save franchise money. .Very slow action rate the crew running spaceship as they runing a truck. Totally inexperience and bullshit. And for Godsake we cant wait next an other 5 or 6 years so requested to franchise launch movie in 2025 like alien covenant and prometheus' please.

Wish we saw some big chap footage since we haven’t seen him in over 40 years

The best xenomorph I ever seen before

The offspring that thing was terrifying😅

the cocoon had a vagina-like appearance. you missed that?
