Proto/Praeto/Xenomorphs[edit]

Does anyone have any RS for referring to David's creation as Proto/Praetomorphs? As the film credits identify it as a Xenomorph (as our own article indicates), I'd be tempted to remove the term to reflect this as it just introduces confusion for the reader. I couldn't find anything obvious and there's a short (old) discussion in the archives that also didn't come with up anything. Scribolt (talk) 10:14, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Error[edit]

"David states that humanity is a dying and unworthy species and that his designed creature is a "perfect organism" that will eradicate them."

David doesn't say that the alien he created will eradicate mankind. There's no talk about eradicating mankind in that scene, David only says he won't let them "resurrect", but that doesn't mean the alien has anything to do with that. Dornwald (talk) 00:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
