Description Updated version of my infographic explaining the evolution of the alien "xenomorph" from "Alien" to "Prometheus."

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR ALL FIVE MOVIES!

Check out the post on my blog [link]

Thanks for all the great feedback on the last deviation. It made it much better.

... Didn't the chestbursters from Alien: Resurrection come from the cloned queen rather than Ripley's clone?

Nice, I love those kinds of infographics, well done.

That said, if I can give you my feedback :
- overall, I would have used "+" signs instead of arrows when it doesn't involve an actual evolution, but more a mix or addition of two entities (Prometheus male & female humans, Prometheus octopuss & engineer, Alien facehugger & human, and so on...)
- Aliens: the xenomorphs we see most in Aliens are a slightly different kind from Alien, there are alien warriors, when the one in Alien is a drone (just a little detail on that one)
- Alien 3: you should have a second lifecycle for the queen: egg --> super facehugger + human (female in that case) --> queen chestbuster --> queen (even if we don't see her fully grown in the movie)
- Alien 3 xenomorph: the chestbuster is very different in this movie, it looks more like a smaller version of the fully-grown "alien dog"
- Alien 3 host: just for the matter of space if you were putting the queen lifecycle, I would put the ox and dog on the same line and just put a "/" between them (just a little detail again)
- Alien Resurrection: this one is tricky to explain simply in an infographic. I wouldn't know how you could make it better, but it could be good to involve the cloning process as a part of the evolution
- Prometheus: the "black matter" cylindre should be the first element instead of the engineer (or at least just after him to keep in mind that the engineer supposely created it)

Yeah, sorry, I'm a big Alien fan...
Glad to not see the AvP movies in this by the way.

Great points. I may update this to make it more "Fan Accurate."
