i legitimately liked the ending sequence of Alien Romulus more than the ending bit of Alien with Ripley launching the Alien out. It was just kinda lame, what can i say.

Yes, we know you're dumb and retarded. The superdude thread you meant to enter is down the hall.

Originally, the alien was only supposed to live for a few days like a mayfly. Nowadays with aliens and the rest of the franchise, I suppose its meant to be interpreted as getting ready to hibernate.

He wanted to stay hidden in order to get to the next new place with Ripley.

In the original script, the Alien was intelligent and even could talk. He simply knew how the pod worked. Furthermore, he was supposed to kill/rape Ripley (that's why she survived in the end—ever since he saw her fucking the captain, he'd desperately wanted her for himself), and then even fool the ground crew with a radio.

But something else is interesting - Ridley removed the whole sexual motif and deprived Alien of human features, while those funny panties are something you can see on his early storyboards.

It is called a siesta. He was full. Ripley was a delicious dessert, as your photo shows.

Stowing away, hiding, awaiting the humans that might eventually arrive to rescue the female. It might've planned on breaching her stasis capsule after she fell asleep, to turn her into an egg. Turn Ripley into an egg, her cat into a mini-egg, crawl back into the pipes, go into its own stasis, until ship is found, now it's got more ppl to parasitize.

It was trying to hide. It's literally the most retarded ending of all time and why all Alien fans need roping.

If you look at Alien and JUST Alien, it made sense to me that the creature has some measure of intelligence comparable to a human. It got in the escape shuttle before Ripley did because it had determined that was its purpose, especially once the ship started coming apart. Once stowed away in the shuttle, I also thought that was why it left Ripley alone until forced out, because it needed a human to get it where it's going, like a parasite.

It was meant to be at the end of it's life cycle and dying but since that's never made clear it just looks like it's all tuckered out.

No. She was there to take care of the cat and look sexy.

Context clues. didn't your teachers ever tell you about the context clues? movies are rife with context clues. at least older movies are. perhaps it is a lost art. now with everything, every character has to spell it out, say it out loud to the audience who's doing something else while listening to the slop, glancing at it every now and then.
