I’m indifferent to Aliens.

Perhaps if the film was made in the same horror vein as Alien and the Alien Queen looked like this I’d feel differently, but it wasn’t and she doesn’t, so I don’t.

I like the design of the queen but it undermines the mystery and threat of the organism. In the original concept any egg could result in any organism with a face big enough to be humped getting the whole population converted to eggs to renew the cycle. It just takes one. The queen with her lovely high heeled dancer legs. Makes the first film seem kind of pointless unless the first Alien could become a queen over time. Hive structures are too terrestrial a thing anyway. Parasitical interspecies, gender nonspecific rape as reproduction is horror perfected. It muddied the water adding a hierarchical structure to them.
