  &quot;Disney pulled out because they believed it the attraction was far too scary for children.&quot;<br><br>Are you serious? The horrifying monster lurking in the dark, drooling on you, breathing down your neck, was only a problem if it was a xenomorph?

  I came back to say that you can thank Randy Pitchford for the disclaimer &quot;not actual game footage&quot; at the bottom of certain gameplay footage before a game releases. During Colonial Marines&apos;s development, Gearbox would showcase footage that Pitchford repeatedly claimed was in-game, but after the game was downgraded graphically at launch and it was discovered that the footage shown wasn&apos;t in the game itself, Gearbox was sued for false advertising and SEGA sued them for misuse of company funds, as the money was meant to be used exclusively for Colonial Marines, like Pigpen says.

  You also forgot to mention that when Johnny and Jax are selected to fight one an the other and they have the predator skins they will reenact the you son of a bitch scene in game.🐱

  I think it’s cool that the Predator race exists in Earth 616’s multiverse.

  One thing I do have to add: Both Ridley Scott and Alan Dean Foster have stated that the point of David&apos;s story was not to depict him creating the Xenomorph. The point of the Prequels was to show Humanity&apos;s hubris is not exlusive to humanity.<br>The Engineer&apos;s created the Xenomorphs, thousands of years ago. We know this is this the case, as we see the egg chamber and Spacejockey in Alien, and it&apos;s been there for centuries.<br>David is said to have &apos;perfected&apos; an &apos;organism&apos; that the Engineer&apos;s feared. That organism wasn&apos;t the Deacon, it was the Xenomorph. David&apos;s creations are not Xenomorphs, but &apos;Perfect&apos; Xenomorphs, or &apos;True&apos; Xenomorphs.<br>The entire point of that duology is that human&apos;s are looking for their creators while creating life themselves, only to find out our creator&apos;s don&apos;t care about us, they also made monsters, and we see in real time that even OUT creations can build monsters, (David building the New Xeno).<br>Also, the Xeno mural isn&apos;t a mural of a Xeno at all, Scott has confirmed that was a Deacon.<br>Scott and Foster have explained that the film was intentionally vague, as to leave the viewer in the dark on which came first, the Chicken or the Egg. We aren&apos;t meant to know where the Xenos come from, if they&apos;re explicitly made by the Engineers, or if they&apos;re David&apos;s creation. It&apos;s Scott&apos;s metaphor for the futility of searching for God, because God isn&apos;t knowable, and at the same time, he&apos;s all around us.<br>But of course that went over fans heads, and Scott and Foster had to come out and say &quot;Yeah, David just reverse engineered an existing Xeno species that the Engineers built a long time ago.&quot;
