Differences between Xenomorph of 1979 vs Xenomorph of Romulus 2024

NICE, i love xenomorphs design

I thought Romulus took place before Alien. If thats so then this doesn`t really track. Obviously tech in movie making effects have really advanced so Im saying the Romulus Xeno is more what the makers wish they could have pulled off back when Alien was made, wrather then making believe that its some genetic difference ,just leave it alone because we dont want to notice the "differences" because theres not supposed to be any difference.

😕 Personally, I feel."If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Edit; I mean the chestburster design.

While it was fun to watch the growth speed was way to fast in Romulus. It would generate massive amounts of heat as fast as it grew. Furthermore where is it getting the mass to grow its body? All the new mass has to come from somewhere

I believe sparkys growth cycle was continuously interfered with it was under threat itself at first might explain its rapid growth in the first movie kane isn't stressed well not until he goes into labour 😂

Another video next!

The chest buster in alien Romulus does not have legs

The romulus alien is completely different from the original because the people in wayland modified it

Lorewise, yeah, I think you could say they are different, because of how they came to be and stuff, BUT, it probably will never be explained bc it was a different technology, the first movie was simply a guy in a suit (a very good and scary one, but still a suit), while in the new ones you have CG polishing, where you can have someone dressed but there's a lot of after affects added to make it more realistic too.
And I'm not criticising your point, since the warrior xenomorphs, from Aliens, are only called that bc they were supposed to look more mature since they were alive longer than Big Chap, but they kept having trouble with the smoot dome part, so they simply didn't use them, and now since they had the concept of a more mature Xeno, they used that as a sort of excuse to not use the smoot dome head.
In the end, some technical issues are incorporated into the lore to cover those issues sometimes.

As for the newborn and this new movie, it took roughly 15 minutes to come out😅

They just changed the design they make the mouth more big

I think the modification of DNA using black goo is what caused the Romulus strain to develop so quickly.

Also I feel like The Romulus strain has less of its host DNA. the big chap must have a plantigrade foot structure because larger amounts of human DNA so Romulus strain is more XENO(alien)

I think Big Chap's design should be like the one in Alien Isolation if there were no technological limitations.
by the way the Romulus one is so much difference than that design.

It share dna with the Asian woman.
It also share mindmemory from its host thats why it/she saved the former hosts friend from faling down in that elevator shaft.
🤔 Just my thought...

A big notable difference is that the Big Chap's dome is one continuous piece from front to back, while the Romulus Alien has a lateral seam about 1/4 of the way back from the mouth on the dome which divides the dome into two layered pieces front to back.

The height difference could be allowcated to the digigrade legs, compared to Big Chaps plantatrade situation.

I would say the diffrences is because of the Genetic Modification and also the Age, i mean Scorch was disturbt before he evolved completly and was also badly Damaged on the Head. Meaning that Scorch was most likely smaller because he didnt fully developt yet but i can imagin that the Growth would still come with Age and Time

The new design is pretty close to perfection
Way better than the old ones

The xenomorph in Romulus was at least 9 feet tall when Andy jumps onto it when falling down the elevator shaft the head itself looks about the size of Andy

One my slight beef with the whole Alien franchise is that the creature's life stages all happen too quickly to be plausible. From embryo to chestburster in under an hour? From chestburster to to fully grown organism bigger than a human in under a day? I just doesn't seem physically possible...

Who here had the toys back in the day?

The Romulus alien has some bumps on his dome head, while the first alien had a smooth dome.

So are the Romulus aliens clones? Would they follow a queen? Or view it as an enemy and would they view consider a drone and a warrior apart of there hive?

Big Chap's facehugger came from an egg, while the Romulus facehuggers came were bioprinted. This could already lead to some differences. On top of that: the Romulus facehuggers were quite young, only being as old as the Romulus lab (months to years at the very oldest). Big Chap's facehugger was on LV-426 for a long time (enough for the Space Jockey to fossilize), so the egg being old might've also caused it to result in a weaker/damaged facehugger & thus a slower and more odd xenomorph.

One of the things that never made sense in the original, and even less so in the sequels (AVP, Covenant, Romulus) where the whole cycle became faster and faster, is the chest burster bursting out so quickly. The host seems basically unused - no organs, fat, muscle tissue etc. absorbed/eaten - making the point of it's being implanted in a host rather pointless. You look at insects that grow inside hosts in real life, they practically hollow out their host using every part of it for sustainence before making their escape. Instead of fixing this in sequels, they make it worse by having the chest burster inside for an hour rather than 10 or so.

i believe roumulus xeno is the original interpretation because original film xeno was just a man in a costume but roumulus is a mix between practical effect and cgi. todays technology helped the movie makers to get original interpretation of xenomorph on screen

Big chap also has the elbow spikes.

Romulus xenos look decently taller than the big chap

The new movie is a cluster fuck it wasn't good no new ideas just rips from all the old ones

The big chap was a chest burster made from human DNA so so say they got black goo it would habe been tainted by human DNA

BIg Chap was not older than the Romulus xenos, in fact Romulus xenos should be older because they were in the station long time before the kids reached it.
We can see Big Chap full grown size when it kills Brett and accordingly to the same movie and the sequel "Aliens", less than 24 hours passed between Big Chap´s birth and the end of the movie (Ripley claimed in the WU meeting that the creature killed all her crew in less than 24 hours). The size difference has to be genetic in any case.

Personally didn't like the movie very much but the Xeno design is pretty good.

❤new xenomorphs look like Pumpkin Head....I like, it's Creepy AF

Nice use of the various figures and statues, although it probably would have been better to just use the really accurate ones, like the Mafex and Kotobukiya figures. Also, the 79 alien does have the "spikes" on its elbows.

Other than looking Plastic

Face hugger in Romulus looked stupid because of how the arms were held out in front and not to the side.

It always bothered me they couldnt stay with original design. Always had to change. The original took on human form because came from human. Thats why walked upright had human feet. Now i guess just raptor alien. Just felt they could explore the first movie more by not changing and maybe leaving somethings as a mystery.

Ok wait I’m confused the Romulus grows faster which would mean it ages faster but yet the original is older WHAT???? the original beats the Romulus one sorry not sorry!!

The life cycle addition is what made the entire movie, Alien Romulus, for me. It was the missing piece. Having no eggs, or queen, were also missing for me. I was anxiously awaiting a Queen to come out of hiding, stretch her four limbs, and reveal two warrior Aliens attached to her side like additional appendages. That's how I described them in my book anyway.

Costume disine 🤣

I know the 1979 Xenomorph is colloquially referred to as 'Big Chap', that's officially canon.. But I think its a missed opportunity not to call him 'Kane's Son'

It's simple it's because one of was born from a Caucasian and the other a Asian one is slimmer and shorter kind of like a viking vs a ninja of aliens 😂

Haha. The head looks like a dick

Jezus kid, it's a penis. The xeno is a giant space penis. Giger was an effed-up post war sociopath who did so many drugs that Warhol tried to buy some off him. He made sexual-body-horror as a hobby, because of course he did -- and it was called art. And the directors of this new film couldn't wait to find a way to show us real-time face-f**king without calling it porn. Hollywood sucks, these are horrible people. Find another way to make money on the internet, if you would please.
