Xenomophs are the great Filter. This is actually genius.

I personally like the explanation in Aliens Genocide best, in which, on their own planet they were kept on check by other predators, but were an uncontrollable invasive species when removed from their homeworld.

[guyincognito]

Sometimes when a daddy, xenomorph and a mommy xenomorph love each other very much. They lay down and give each other an extended hug.

I could happily watch and absorb xenomorph/alien lore for hours, so thx for this...

[bicokun]

I kind of like the idea of xenomorphs being naturally evolved, but it’s just an invasive species that goes wild outside its original habitat.

This xenomorph is, by far, the most terrifying alien in movie history

Strange, the mosaic in Prometheus depicted a xenomorph on the wall of the goo room. Big the final form of the xeno was already known, then David didn't create them, he rebuilt them through years of experimentation on all life on that planet using shaw as the basis due to her previous exposure.

[TevyaSmolka]

I still don’t like the idea of xenomorphs being created by david the android because that origin is just stupid and makes no sense whatsoever at least in my opinion.

[Ozymanzak]

Xenomorphs being the fermi paradox explanation is an idea I’ve had for years, so cool that you mention it!

[ImOldGreggg]

I really wish that they would make an entire movie about the origins of the Engineers. Who they were, why and how they made us and what exactly happened to them. I'd absolutely love it.

[HEARTS-OF-SPACE]

What about the xenomorphs that intentionally killed their cellmate so its acid blood would burn through the floor and free them? That's clear evidence of high intelligence.

The xenomorph Mural in Prometheus shows The Deacon. In "The Furious Gods: The Making of Prometheus" it states it as so. When watching chapter 6 "Demons in the Dark" there is an Enhancement video that details this. Apparently David did and did not create the Xenomorphs, he replicated and perfected what the Engineers have already done with their biochemical weapon The Deacon. When wiping out a planetoid, an Engineer would sacrifice himself to a Trilobite and The Deacon would be born to eradicate all non-botanical life. This act echoes when an Engineer would sacrifice himself to create life. The Deacon is a purer form of the Xenovirus/Black Goo/Accelerant as opposed to the "diluted" Xenomorph. The Engineers would worship these creatures of death. Also, The Deacon was the missing link that would tie Prometheus and Alien.

[HermitagePrepper]

In the absence of a queen, drones begin to evolve into one. The laying of an egg releases a pheremone which halts the evolution of all other xenos. All partially evolved xenos then become praetorians. This explains why praetorians increased size and royal head crests. They were on their way to becoming queens.

[VIPERFILMS]

I just love how these types of things are fleshed out over the years because we all know when rid was originally designing them you know he was just like “I wanna make something that looks scary and original” and didn’t think of a backstory at all 😂

[Emilis]

I don't mind mysteries in a franchise one bit. I think that can be really cool. The issue I have with a lot of the things listed here is the only reason they are mysteries at all is because of the amount of retconing that happened between the various movie series, games and comics to try and incorporate new ideas. The writers (rightfully) realized that if the xenomorphs were just a wasp-like mindless force of nature then every proceeding story would be some slight variation of Alien or Aliens.

[emmanuelmoreno]

David didn't wipe out the engineer race, he wiped out a race made by the engineers, they just resemble the engineers more than the humans do.

[Booth]

I don't think David actually created the Xenomorphs. He was experimenting with what was already there. I think he found the eggs, and they didn't react to him, with him being an android. He obviously wanted humans to experiment on, which is what happened in Covenant. I think he's simply replicating what engineers made.

This wasn't explained very well in the film. Probably because Ridley Scott has a habit of cutting things that don't need to be cut from his films. Prometheus, Gladiator, and Legend are all prime examples.

[Indikissa]

Xenomorphs ordering pizza behind the scenes and taking selfies :D

[MassEffect]

But David didn't create the Xenomorph as we know it. The mural on the wall in Prometheus is clearly thousands of years old and depicts an obvious Xenomorph figure. It has the same head and body shape as a Xeno 🤔

[YoungClarke]

The black goo being a way the Engineers both create and destroy life is honestly such a cool concept. It makes the xenomorph (or something very akin to it) both a weapon and also something akin to sacred. Creator and destroyer, Prometheus and Covenant have their issues, but I find so much of what they did fascinating. Ridley’s exploration of the Engineers and their culture is something I still crave more of
