so you just assumed that the alien would look the same regarless of host i dunno bout you guys but to me thats kind of shallow especially since no other creature exceot humans were implanted til alien 3

Alien 3 came out in 1992... So for 14 years the Alien was what it appeared like in Alien & Aliens with no mentioning of it taking on physical attributes of it's host. For 14 years that idea was not apart of the Alien biology or Mythos. Giger, Ridley & Cameron had written in detail about the Alien's biology. It wasn't until Alien 3 came around did the physical attributes thing came into play by David Fincher who had stated that he wanted to make Alien 3 unique from the others and to put his stamp on the series. Hence killing off Hicks & Newt... And the dog alien. Alien 3, 14 years after ALIEN came out, changed the Alien creature. Hardly shallow.

Sorry, that sounded snarky & bitchy- not my intent.
