The fact that the Nostromo's computer is called Mother. The fact that xenomorphs are born from an unwanted pregnancy. The fact that Ripley is a mother who'll never see her child again. The fact that Newt is a child who'll never see her mother again. The fact that they find solace in each other. The fact that the xenomorph queen is a vengeful mother. The fact that Ripley 8 is nicknamed Mother. The fact that the newborn kills it's mother. The fact that Ripley 8 kills it. The fact that Amanda Ripley stumbles into the same fate as her mother while looking for her.

Jon’s interactions with others is filtered through hardwired genetic instincts that strongly favours a rigid hive hierarchy. As a queen caste, his tolerance of disobedience is very low. Though he is vaguely aware that non-hive mind creatures experience social interactions very differently.

Been thinking about the differences between the xenomorph in Alien and the ones from Aliens, and how that fits into their biology

The original xenomorph used stealth to hunt, picked people off one by one, and used humans to create more facehugger eggs in the directors cut

The xenomorphs from Aliens have more armor, swarm their prey, and have a queen that lays facehugger eggs

Now obviously the out of universe reason is that Alien is a horror film and Aliens is an action-horror film (that and they had to put more armor on the xenos in Aliens because the costumes were fragile)

But in-universe I think the differences are because of the different circumstances the xenos were in, namely the presence of a queen and a lot of other xenos

The xenomorph in Alien was the only member of it's species in the area, and it's death would mean the loss of a chance for it's species to populate a new habitat. Because of this, the lone xeno had to be more cautious, resorting to only attacking lone prey and hiding until the area was secured. Turning prey into eggs might be a secondary reproductive tactic that xenos use if a queen is not present. This tactic is less viable because it requires prey to turn into eggs and then more prey to be infested, but it can hold them over until a queen can be created.

We saw this tactic get taken further in the game Alien: Isolation, where multiple unarmored xenomorphs had infested a large spaceship but no queen had yet been made, so the xenos still hunted alone and used stealth instead of swarm tactics

The xenomorphs in Aliens, on the other hand, have had time to establish a large presence on a planet, and do have a queen laying eggs. That means that individual xenos don't have to worry about self preservation as much, and can be a little more reckless. These xenos start displaying insect-like behavior, swarming their prey and protecting the nest. They develop more armor that might make them bulkier but also makes them more durable when swarming. This behavior is more effective with dealing with large groups of dangerous prey, as seen in Aliens

Can you tell I'm kinda autistic about these creatures?
