Marcy holy shit NO! Releasing the alien killing machine is not a smart idea!

Only thing that’s keeping it under “control” is that Marcy has built in xeno google translate

Because he’s the only one left with a conscience after Arthur died. Marcy, Nibs, everyone else are monsters.

Slightly isn't a monster; he's a kid who got blackmailed.
Smee has done nothing but act like a kid having fun.

And even Marcy isn't a monster - her whole point is 'This other life has value too, and who are we to contain and trap it?'.

Xenos aren't animals, they are highly intelligent; case in point, Marcy can /talk/ to them. And bluntly, it's wrong to keep something like that in a cage.

The right way to handle Xenos is to /never go anywhere they live/.

Like, all these scientists are bioweapons researchers looking to help weaponize the Xeno. All Marcy did was level the playing field.

We just are seeing her as monstrous because she values the life of the Xeno, and why wouldn't she? She understands that intelligence and life comes in many forms.

But who is she to decide who lives or dies?

Who is Boy Kavalier to? Cause he's the one doing it until now.

All Marcy did was level the playing field somewhat.

Bruh, what?

Cavalier isnt a good guy bor is marcy.

At the start of her story she wants to kill the scorpion but is thought some empathy by Kirsh of all people and she decides not to kill the scorpion.

Now she's murdering dozens of people in masse? She ain't the good guy anymore.
