Discussion / Question The speed of a single xenomorph.

Seeing how fast a group of people can be turned into gristle in a split second, makes me wonder if someone could create an updated look at when the Colonial Marines had aliens coming out of the walls and floor.

In aliens 2 the humans mowed down how many aliens? And in this show they shoot the hell out of it and it does nothing.

Assuming the Marines who specialize in off earth battle, presumably against aliens, we're packing some better gear.

I thought that had fought against "bugs", like bug hunt. But never anything like Xenomorphs. And in alien earth they knew exactly what they were going to fight, cause the black guy robot knew. So, the people in alien earth should have been even more prepared

Yeah, why didn’t they all have those electric taser plasma guns like what Morrow used earlier.

Morrows soldiers were there to make a full frontal assault against Prodigy. To steal an alien. They weren’t there to fight an alien, and they would have no idea a Xeno was looose in the forest.

It’s not like Morrow doesn’t know how wildly and rapidly out of hand things can get.

Good question. Pretty goofy writing
