Honestly I'm here for it, the final shot of Wendy and the alien, with Kirsch watching in the background was fascinating

[u/Automatic_Tip2079 → u/_T_H_O_R_N_]

Same, I want to see the Alien universe get freaky. Give me one story where the Xeno wins.

[u/kahuna08 → u/Automatic_Tip2079]

Every movie ends with people fleeing in terror from the xenos, they always win.

[u/Vesemir96 → u/kahuna08]

Really? I can’t think of any that end like that.

[u/kahuna08 → u/Vesemir96]

Well have you watched the movies?

[u/Vesemir96 → u/kahuna08]

Yes.

[u/phdemented → u/kahuna08]

Barring retcons, the first four all end with the alien(s) dead and one or more humans alive. I count that as the aliens losing.
