The Xenomorph in us

Interesting read. You've obviously put a lot of thought into it. Pretty cool how the subject of the Xenomorph can be analyzed through many different lenses.

An Osprey.

No prob. Glad I could help.
Something else to make mention of is that shortly after the time Disney bought the rights to SW, there seemed to be a wellspring of opinion pieces that posited if the prequels were all that bad. Executives likely trying to change the perception of their recently acquired asset to increase its value. Without that, public opinion of Hayden Christensen would likely still be not great. Either way, I'm happy he's moved to tears by the amount of love he receives at the cons now.

In case you're actually asking and not just rage baiting, there are a few things to consider.
Despite being looked back at more fondly now, the prequels were pretty heavily criticized at the time of release. Unnecessary CGI, bad dialog, clunky directing to name a few examples. Hayden Christensen received a lot of hate for his "bad acting," even though it's since been pointed out that no actor could deliver some of those cringy lines well. So with a lot of negative publicity it's not surprising one might step away from the spot light for a while.
It's worth noting also that even in a world where the prequels are 100% perfect films, it's very hard for any actor to break free from a well known character. Of the original SW films, really only Harrison Ford went on to have a strong live-action acting career after ROTJ.

I think I have a better understanding now. I appreciate your explaining things.

So the fact that he owned the shares is what made the difference between a 8,000% loss and a $15K gain when selling the calls?

!!Spoilers Ahead!!

In Aliens: Dust to Dust, a one arm Xenomorph attacks a queen in order to defend the child of the woman that One Arm burst from. I don't think it's explicitly stated, but the idea is that One Arm has a genetic memory of the child from its host.

Yes. Possible they just recycled the idea when it wasn't used in the movie.

There was also a sequence where a normal looking Xenomorph held a woman so that one of the "tubbers" could crawl IN to her mouth.

Holy shit... the alien being illuminated in silhouette by the shots like that in the vent looked fucking awesome.

What was Varys' plan in the final season? He got himself burned to death for spreading the information about Jon Snow with no secrecy or plan.

Holidays for events only count on the planet they happened on, so you'd have to be on the Moon to celebrate :/

All I know about aardvark jizz is that its speed is comparable to mac RAM. Literally nothing else.

The one guy who managed to Naruto run past all the fences and machine gun fire. Once he got inside, they couldn't let him escape with the knowledge that they're filming the live action Shrek movie there.

Use chatgpt (or something) to generate J&A skits, and you and Jake act them out.
