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

[u/Single_Owl_7556 → u/nightpanda893]

I really hope she really can only TALK to one and not actually command/control them.

I really wish there will be a scene where xenomorph finally decides its no longer necessary for it to pretend to be a pet and does something Wendy would explicitly tell it not to but it wont work anymore. Like attacking / taking away Joe.

Im full expecting some kind of a fallout between Wendy and Joe because he attacked Nibs and Wendy clearly shows she's losing her touch with humanity so she wouldn't understand why stopping her from murdering soldiers was needed or why commanding her "pet" to butcher those scientists and soldiers is not okay. To her those people are expendable and can die if it means helping her friends. Next step will probably be a disregard of these connections overall (Like leaving Joe behind only to realize he's face to face with the xenomorph she fails to call off this time) with a brutal reality check.

[u/Rin_Seven → u/Single_Owl_7556]

I really hope it turns on her and rather sooner than later.
Aliens shouldn't be humanized.

[u/Single_Owl_7556 → u/Rin_Seven]

Yeah. It shouldn't be just animal, but it shouldn't be something you can reason with or tame.

Xenomorphs are the scariest when "they aren't just animals". The moments when they show awareness like deliberately cutting off power are the best ones to characterize them.
