hmm, i guess i didnt look into it as much as you guys. i tend to just accept things at face value. i agree outright that birthing scene was cool....and then just is forgotten
that being said, to me the black goo seemed to sort of be "primordial sludge" if you want. a more literal translation of the foundation of life (and what they were looking for, the engineers of life). they show at the start that guy sort of sacrificing himself. seemed like once it is activated (either by contact, motion, opening the vault) it began whatever life cycle it has. starts off small and builds upon itself. if it can it merges with someone and apparently steals their strongest features.
was neat the way that guy birthed the xenomorph. youre right it doesnt quite fit right. im assuming now the sludge has the xenomorph "plans" because its taken samples from people and that grey dude, so it finds a way to make more (in the movies they have the facehuggers, maybe some sort of lower level goop monster that has enough parts to pass along xenomorph eggs
)
before you tear into my analysis, note that i watched it while playing games, so things like names and subtle details were totally lost on me XD

Had no intention of tearing into anything. I just got myself going into a long tirade once again but it's all speculation. I was getting at the same thing as you with the primordial sludge thing though. It seems to be something that evolves whatever it touches very fast, but seems to target aggressive traits, which would further its purpose(As a weapon, I can't see it as anything else). I honestly got more into the movie because of the Alien connection so that's why I went on to connect as many dots as possible.
