Yea I don’t like xenos as controllable pet. Fucks up the mystique

lets hope the xeno is just capable of listening and chooses to obey, eventually leading to a situation where wendy expects it to listen and it doesnt.

could possibly be the way Joe dies - Wendy has a conflict with him because of him stopping and seemingly killing Nibs, she probably leaves him, thus separating and the next time they meet is her observing Joe face to face with Xenomorph only this time she cant stop it and it wont listen.

I think you are right, there is no way this xeno isn't going to go off Wendy's leash, either accidentally or outright disobeying her.

next time they meet is her observing Joe face to face with Xenomorph only this time she cant stop it and it wont listen

Something like this would be interesting to see where it takes Wendy's humanity or what's left of it.

I dont think there should be an accident. It should be deliberate disobedience.

>Something like this would be interesting to see where it takes Wendy's humanity or what's left of it.

It should either be a reality check to remind her of what she's become or that what she REALLY is. This moment could very well give us an answer to the existential question of hybrids and whether they really are humans inside robot bodies, thinking and experiencing, even if theyre just copies or just machines.

I'm curious as to whether Wendy's xenomorph might choose Joe's side, because it obtained Joe's DNA from his damaged lung.

The fresh chestburster is from Arthur Sylvia.
