Can a Xenomorph Chestburster be Removed? - Theory 

If only they would showcase someone that does just that in a future film: someone unfortunate enough to go through a chestbursting episode, but still fortunate enough that they were recovered at just the right time and they miraculously survived because they were given medical care at just the right moment.

Sidious interesting idea.

Yes i was thinking the same but. in alien 3 embrion queen chest-burst not fully grown . somewhere someone said that alien embrion can feel stress like its host and i assume can feel other things. trying to kill host may result in premature chest bursting.

I believe they did exactly that in Stargate Atlantis when a similar parasite that could not be removed caught one of the characters. They "killed" the victim, the parasite fell off, and they were able to revive the patient.

Make sense.

That might work because their would be no point in impregnating a dead corpse since a live host is needed

Yes, just drink this urine.

The Homie Yosh To be honest I did too

The Homie Yosh XD😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Homie Yosh lol

Can I Xenomorph cheeseburger be removed

A placenta would cause other problems - there is no womb to interact with said placenta. As I recall the embryo in one of the novelizations grew a vein and artery to use blood for nutrients. This is limiting because the blood only carries so much nutrients.

One treatment for the cancerous placenta could be found in nanotechnology. Perhaps a nanite solution, programmed to seek out and eliminate the foreign cells, could purge the placenta from the organs the embryo has attached itself to and allow for a relatively safe surgical removal of the chestburster.

Is there a "placenta"? Placentas require a uterus or some other membrane for a point of interface.

Well they did make the habashi and habeshi fight to create a spear to pierce the M on on chest through my montane hoodie 😭

seems a tiny bit risky, unless you're implying they knew it was just about to burst. And in one of the cuts of the film the alien is shown bursting out of her chest right as she's landing in the lava I believe, so she realistically would be dead regardless (I don't think they would have rushed her to some sort of medical safety machine in a minute's time)

Loader2K1 thas wat my mom thought as well

Loader2K1 that was the point since pt.1 ....bring specimen back no matter what

I think they would have just waited for the alien to burst out then just kept the chestburster.

*Loader2K1* This makes the most sense to me. They would have either detained Ripley and let it burst out of her naturally or would have killed Ripley in order to make sure the xenomorph survived.

I thought about mentioning in this video but I think I'll end up doing a separate video on the Trilobite. I figured it didn't really belong here since it was a completely different type of gestation process but yes most definitely worth investigating.

Alien Theory agreed....different specimen & type of machine in the process.

Alien Theory ,great video but you never mentioned about the time when superman survived a chestburster

As you may or may not be aware, in the original script for Prometheus, it was a chestburster which broke out of Shaw while she was in the pod. The medical pod repaired the damage as it was being done by the emerging alien which crawled away. Shaw did survive this procedure. Of course this version was not the final script but I still thinks it's worth noting. If you haven't read it, a quick google search will turn it up.

I'm glad I'm not having eggs for breakfast this morning...all this talk of embryos is giving me a sensitive stomach!

xxthehuskycaboosexx You gotta give them a good push down the stairs first. To loosen it up.

Alexander Stavroulakis It's probably for the best. /you will when you're older.

Alexander Stavroulakis much older.

Alexander Stavroulakis if you're truly 18, and don't get this, then maybe you should have been coat hangered. :/

ColbOnTheCob lol! 😂😂

Mr.ScaryPasta it probably doesn't have a very high success rate

Jake Alter Maybe not, but if the host has a strong enough physical health they may survive with minimal to no damage.

I agree, but will also add that the willingness and skill under pressure of the surgeon involved would be of paramount importance. I'd much rather have a battle-hardened thoracic surgeon operating on me than a ear, nose, and throat Doctor, LOL!

The timing could also play a part, too. If you could predict when the Chestburster was preparing to bust out of its host, the surgery could go more smoothly.

@@MrScaryPasta willpower doesn't mean jack shit if you end up riddled with genetic damage/cancerous growths

Labyrinth is excellent. I was grabbing screenshots for this video and got sidetracked and just ended up reading it over again. It's just too good.

@@AlienTheory Labyrinth was good, except for some of Dr. Church's juvenile patter. A man of his breadth of personality ought to be more dignified. I would have liked to seen a sequel for Labyrinth. There is a lot of Dr. Church story to build upon.

starfuxer are you stupid or something the xenomorphs in alien Resurrection where genetically modified clones and not pure that's why removal was perfected because the separated the placenta in the creation process.

Colin Brouillette Hey jackass, he was asking politely for your thoughts. Not for insults. On a side note, the host being genetically modified doesn't prove that a chestburster and it's placenta can't be safely removed.

Maybe they remove it from the mouth?

@@colinbrouillette304 You are just trying to rub off him

Movie mess-up if you ask me. But then again, it was a bad movie in that regard anyway.

I'd imagine if they were preparing to surgically extract an embryo, knowing that its blood could be an issue, they'd be equipped with acid-resistant materials. Like whatever the hyperfuturistic version of tungsten carbide would be. EDIT: Not that I'm defending that movie, I can barely watch that shit lol

Wouldn't be a carbide, too reactive, the tools would have to be ceramic in nature...

Sorry, I'm a machinist, TC is not a ceramic. It is half Tungsten, and half Carbon, no Silicon...and is generally bonded with Cobalt or Nickel to form cutting tools or armor-piecing rounds.

Knolltop Farms Yep, which is why I specified that it would be some futuristic equivalent in terms of general acid resistance, and not a carbide itself. Also the material required would be largely dependent on the actual compounds in the xeno's blood composition. For example, one could hypothesize that it contains fluorosulfonic or pentafluoride compounds, which would react with silicon and therefore render ceramic tools unusable.

Crazy House I thought he barfed up a queen and threw it into the sun?

The queen chestburster was about to come out of Superman moments before he got bacc into contact with our universe yellow sun, charging his powers bacc up to 100%. Soon as his powers are at full charge the chestburster breaks its necc trying to push out of Supe's ribcage Which leads to superman coughing it up and spitting it out

You cannot hate superman

Crazy House he crushed it inside him and threw up the remains

Kako Mohammed you can, he’s the ultimate god moded hero. If something can kill him, they make him immune to it not too long after

Thank you! I've gotten a lot of feedback saying the videos should be longer so I hope this one flowed well with everything covered.

redstone craft guy I see what you did there.

Seb J it wasn't a chest burster

How so? It would've still clearly burst through her chest in function.

Seb J it was a trilobite geez trilobites burst through 2bellies

I would go as far as to say that the trilobite removal was even more dangerous then a chestburster removal. Wouldn't Shaw still be infected with the black goo after having sex with her infected boyfriend?

Striker163 Actually we don't know yet. Shaw wont be in Alien Covenant. She is probably dead, maybe because of some kind of cancerous placenta.

Venetra Hr that story is non canon, and therefore not part of this analysis.

Kevin Sanchez Same should be with Colonial Marines game.

has science gone too far?

Damn that would be cool but it would need the body to be slimmer and more quadrupedal for the xeno to move with ease but otherwise an awesome idea

probably be a confused mess and not understand how to fire the gun

Side note: Xenomorphs have larger brains than humans. Significantly so. Are they smarter than us? Or have the potential to be but aren't because of instinct?

A lot of animals have larger brains than humans. Xenomorphs are smart but not smarter than humans.

3 chest-bursters were also removed in the Batman and Aliens comics, but I don't think these cross-overs count as being an accurate source of information.

thelordelric In the Superman/Aliens crossover Kal-El regurgitated (threw up) the one implanted in him. Don't know if this was because of his Kryptonian physiology or not but it was an interesting scenario.

Chances are that during the facehugging process its already began spreading the cancer cells while its still attached to ensure the embryo is rooted inside the host

Mr.DeadlyShadowDweller It took Hicks, Hudson, AND Ripley to get that tail unwound. They are HELLA strong and scary quick.

Mr.DeadlyShadowDweller Facehugger would toxic shock a host upon sensing removal. Its renders hosts unconcious through chemical sedation rather than a strangulation from the tail.

I did not know that thanks :)

Mr.DeadlyShadowDweller it’s probably like an anaconda grip

DarkMasterM19 girls with chokers r very much ahead of the game ;)

DarkMasterM19 Facehugger use a chemical sedation process to quickly knock people out. If they uncoiled the tail the facehugger would dump large amounts of chemicals into a host before killing them through toxic shock.

Yeah, but how can they grab, If they can't choke 'em?

Even if it wraps its tail around a neck or limb it is still strong enough to lock the legs around your face and sedate you. In aliens it took 3 marines to pry one off of Ripley. In AVPR the homeless guy trys to fight one off but gets latched on

That is a good question.

Yes

The Predator vs Alien series isn't canon tho.

Acid blood.

thats a preventive step, not curative.

you'd need some kind of exo suit that catches them with something. Little T-rex arms over your face.

because they aren't on their way to a BDSM convention

@@stonem0013 "Leather club is two blocks down"

In the movie alien resurrection the Xenos uses there tung to shoot at the big red bottom to activate the cryo gas. As the Alien in avp 2010 game you run around doing the same thing but to open and close doors

Josh Allington Vlogs in aliens they were smart enough to knock out the power in the area the marined were in. ridly scott had originally planned the first alien use the communications equipment on the shuddle to try and get a signal. of cours e that isnt canon though

Schwartzbruder1 ok could a xenomorph be made into a synthetic form like the androids but Xeno form and be able to fly ships shoot guns talk and think

Josh Allington Vlogs as far as being functioning like a human? at the moment its doubtful. but the black goo introduced in Prometheus quite limitless possibilities. xenos can already think. humans thinking they cant is absolutely foolish. how much they can think is the real question.

Exactly can they lay a trap can they find out how to use the technology around them like in aliens when drake was fighting the warriors he walked right by one and it didn't move till he walked by it or could they operate a vehicle like the queen using the elevator in aliens and how the xenomorphs got around the barriers by crawling through the ventilation system

Don't you realize that facehuggers are genetically programmed to get that alien embryo into a person no matter what people try to do. their grip is extremely strong and nothing can get them off without killing the person in the process. they insert a probusicious tube into the victims wind pipe and attempts to remove it could damage the victims breathe and would result in death

Dude! Aliens!

Based on my interpretation of the corner's autopsy reports at 1:34, it doesn't look like you're intended to survive regardless of whether you try and remove it somehow. A blood panel is a series of blood tests run on a patient/test subject to check and see what is or is not present in the blood, and at what concentrations (if any); normally it's used to detect the presence of cancer in the body, organ failure, infection, or if someone has been poisoned, either purposefully or accidentally. The final line of the report in layman's terms says "Based on the blood tests we ran on the dead person, it's possible this Facehugger realized it was going to be removed, because we detected that it dumped a huge amount of toxins into the victim's body after we started the removal process, possibly with the aim of poisoning the victim to death. A combination of that, and Traumatic Shock (I'm assuming severe acid burns from the facehugger being cut open while still attached to his head) caused the patient to suffer a Myocardial Infarction [a heart attack] and die." If a facehugger deliberately sabotages a victim by poisoning the living shit out him/her as an anti-tampering fail-safe measure to kill them even if they aren't impregnated, then it would most likely definitely mean it would decide to kill the host if you tried to pull it off, unless maybe you somehow figured out how to rip it off in one piece instantly.

great video really enjoyed it

my mom does

I appreciate that, thank you. I am really proud of how this video turned out and I'm glad you enjoy it. :)

2010 avp

It's been so crazy! It still feels like yesterday that I was at 100.

Thanks so much...I really appreciate your kind words and support. I'm having a lot of fun with doing these videos and there's much more to come! :)
