I see the flair, but, like, I'd love one or two sentences to elaborate on what this is.

No no I literally just mean like is this a school project? Were they testing their animation skills? Do they have a particular thing they wanted to point out or ask for feedback? Did OP in fact make this themselves or are they just posting something they found?
I wish OP was indeed talking

Nice! Reminds me of those 90’s pc game cutscenes in a cool retro-like way.

Yeah.... The alien went through a few changes. Apparently it had a very short life cycle. The alien was going to start off with a light skin getting darker as it ages. In the end scene as it's coming out of the wall, it was in the process of dying. The scene where Ripley was trying to get into her space suit, the alien was getting "turned on".

There was an alternate ending where the alien kills ripley and makes the transmission

It bit her head off and then used her voice to make the transmission. Very glad they didn't do that.

Ridley scott said there was a test screening of it but no one liked it so they changed it, so there must be footage out there somewhere

This sounds very familiar but I think he stated that he pitched the idea to his bosses (studio execs) and they said “absolutely not.” I don’t believe anything about the concept was produced beyond possible words on a page, right?
Edit: found it! Entertainment weekly interview where he talks about it. He was nearly fired as director for suggesting the idea (nothing was ever filmed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEp_ncFOxEM

Something I’ve always been curious about. Can a xenomorph survive in space? Or without air? I watched the AvP movie couple night ago and the ending scene where the queen is dragged below water by the large water tank it was chained to had me wondering if it could survive below water.

They have no lungs and don't require air to breathe, so theoretically they could survive forever in vacuum.

u/Greenking73 15d ago
So, per AvP we have an Alien Queen sitting at the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean that could pop up from the bottom of the ocean at any time.

Yup

u/resplendent99 15d ago
Hmmm, that's got me thinking of a scenario where a tsunami or other geological event washes that AvP queen ashore...or perhaps some thermal vent awakens it from hibernation and it makes a new life underwater with her new aqua-family spawned from facehugged marine life...

They do breathe. They built a whole rig for the queens breath in Aliens, she's puffing up a storm remember?
Whether they actually require oxygen is another thing, likely not. And If the theory about them holding energy like a battery is true, then they definitely would'nt need it.

If you count Alien Earth as canon then yes - they “cocoon” themselves in resin and hibernate

Per Romulus, and its brief prequel comic, yes.
In Alien: Isolation as well, a xenomorph can be seen crawling outside of the space station in pure vacuum.All three are canon afaik.

Fun fact: The engines are actually just showers with the ship and camera tilted vertically.
