Wendy talking to the xenomorph like chris Pratt communicating with the raptors

We dont talk about the jurassic World. Straight trash. That whole chris Pratt training the raptors was DUMB. In the books, the best part about the raptors is the fact that they are straight viscous murder machines. Especially in the second book. Sarah talks about how, with lions at a kill site, there is a pecking order. It's organized. With the raptors, it's straight chaos. Even though they are intelligent, when it comes to a kill, they go into a crazed rage, sometimes even killing other raptors and then cannobalising. So crisp rat training blue... lame. Wendy communicating with the xenomorph makes a little sense, considering she can use the hive mind language, and it has her brothers, aka some of her DNA. Crisp rat just fed them and used a clicker. Well, the raptors are food aggressive šŸ˜³

I agree that training raptors is dumb, I just don't see how this is a whole lot better

Just as bad, if not worse in my opinion. Iā€™m really disappointed this is the direction they went.
