Xenomorph bioweapons are downright comical since… Androids already exist.

In the original Alien, the company wants a Xenomorph because genuine alien life is priceless. Makes sense, imagine the profits from synthesizing its turbo acid blood alone. 

Then the writers said nuh uh and now everyone at Weyland-Yutani wants to turn xenomorphs into attack dogs. Which is awful for more than two reasons but here’s two:

  1. Aliens suck. Yes they are good for terror tactics / psychological warfare but when it comes to regular warfare you can just shoot them. 
  2. Androids exist.

Point 2 is just downright hilarious to me. 

“We want a spooky 100% loyal killing machine that can infiltrate enemy lines.” Oh you mean the robots with super strength you already have access to? 

Ash passed as a human for what, months? He lived in close contact with space truckers and they thought he was, at worst, a reclusive jerk. Maybe he’s too expensive to mass produce for war. I don’t actually know or care how much a milk-powered Ian Holm robot costs, but it has to be less than 1/10th of the money-eating black hole that is the xenomorph domestication project. 

“Corporations are dumb.” “Satire and such.”

Yes I get it. But at some point you have to ask yourself, how silly is too silly? Speaking of camp…

I’m reminded of Resident Evil and Umbrella Corp. They had the same game plan of: 

  1. Make monsters 
  2. Kill civilians without destroying infrastructure 
  3. ??? 
  4. Profit

Except at least Umbrella was just selling lizard monsters as a side gig so they could fund their passion project of immortality or whatever. 

Weyland-Yutani seems interested in xenomorphs not as a means to an end but as the end itself. 

Conclusion: Make more milk robots you morons

How many Kobolds would it take to wipe out a Clone Trooper squad?

Can Azula land a single lightning bolt?

Just found out that Elites have different armor hues. Some are brighter and others are duller.

Its subtle but I love the variety that this adds!

Makes it seem like some Elites were freshly equipped (the shinies) and others have been slogging through the jungle for a while.
