mind the walrus posted:Do we have any actual hard source from Dan O'Bannon or Ridley Scott's team on this? Because I literally never heard this being said for 20 straight years until Reddit TIL posts started spreading the idea. Dan said it himself in a micro-memoir of sorts which I've seen referenced many times but can't find on my phone at the moment. This guy posted:“Works of fiction weren’t my only sources,” explained Alien writer Dan O’Bannon in his reflective essay, Something Perfectly Disgusting. “I also patterned the Alien’s life cycle on real-life parasites … parasitic wasps treat caterpillars in an altogether revolting manner, the study of which I recommend to anyone tired of having good dreams…” The connection between the Alien and insect reproductive cycles was so crucial that O’Bannon identified it as of “core psychological significance” before quoting biology and science journalist Carl Zimmer: “when an alien bursts out of a movie actor’s chest … it is nature itself that is bursting through, and it terrifies us.”

Still giving this and director's commentary the side-eye because a blog post in 2012 and a director's commentary track from Scott's "let's use the Alien franchise as a trojan horse to get a large budget and doing tech experiments with terrible scripts" period in the 2010s doesn't explain why it never seemed to be mentioned in any of the marketing materials prior to Reddit popularizing the concept. Like, PR people exist and them telling Scott and Bannon to inject a viral story into the myth would be pretty standard-issue Entertainment Industry bullshit. I'm not going to mistake absence of prior evidence as evidence of absence, but let's be real-- you know exactly where I'm coming from and you know that there's even money I'm right on that hunch.

I don’t know why you find it to be such a far-fetched concept. The existence of parasitic wasps isn’t some arcane fact known to very few, they made Darwin question the nature of god back in 1860:Charles Darwin posted:I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars. Why do you find it so hard to believe that creatures who’s young gestates inside a living host and then forcibly emerge from the host’s body body, killing the host were part of the inspiration for a creature who’s young gestates inside a living host and then forcibly emerge from the host’s body, killing the host?
