This video is currently fighting 8 simultaneous Copyright claims from Disney that are all trying to block the video, so it may blip out of existence every now and then :)

The xenomorph moving around in clear light and fully visible is so funny. It just looks like a weird guy in a suit.

They Disneyfied the Xenomorph. 💀

“We can’t let that thing get to Earth.”

Half the drive behind the first film evaporated by the series’ name alone.

The scene of Wendy killing the Xeno is even dumber than that. The blade she uses is taken from a PAPER TRIMMER. The famously tough Alien exoskeletal armor is defeated by OFFICE SUPPLIES.

Ain't no way they did a "How to train your dragon" with a Xenomorph

This entire plot reads like a fanfiction power fantasy of someone inserting their own character into the mix who is the coolest, smartest and strongest of them all. Also they get a Xeno pet because of course the do.

The "Jurassification" of the Alien franchise. That is the perfect description of this schizophrenic series.

Biggest nerf of the Xeno is the acid blood. It's not even a consideration or a problem at all. Decapitating that alien would have spilled enough blood on Wendy to completely melt her

It's like the showrunner wants to make a series on cyborg human but just using Aliens pull power

So glad none of those eggs tipped over during the crash landing

Another couple baffling things:
Everything they tell us about hybrids in the first episode is completely forgotten about.
Supercomputer brain? They're dumb as rocks.
No Emotions? They're all VERY emotional.
Super strength and speed? Two of them struggle to carry an unconscious average sized man.

Morrow not only knows for a fact that Prodigy sabotaged the ship, he has evidence of it. Yet that's not brought up at all during the negotiations?

I can't believe they had the audacity to make the xeno a bloody pet.

No one can convince me this show wasn't written for some very childish adults...

15:39 The worst plothole has to be Nibs' room being available to everyone with no briefing, the scene with Wendy is IMMEDIATELY after Nibs' memory is wiped

We also see countless times that they are highly intelligent beings, they understand weapons and electricity and even their own blood and how to use it to escape. It would take one look at Wendy and be like "Oh obviously you're not a queen, let me murder you rq"

If you told me this show was set in the far future and NOT before ALIEN i would easily forgive all the story and character flaws, but telling me this horseshit happens before ALIEN and somehow Weyland Yutani never mentions it in the future is genuinely annoying
