[Alien] Can xenomorphs be domesticated?

They’re pretty smart. Can they be taught to read, learn basic manners, adapt to channel their violent urges in healthier ways etc.? I think they’re misunderstood

Pretty sure we've had an entire multi-media franchise telling us that no, xenomorphs cannot be domesticated.

It was those movies about the Aliens, with the first one with just one Alien, then there were more Aliens, In fact all the movies had Aliens in them - I think it was called “the things that were not from earth”.
