This is Michael Fassbender's character David by the way. Guess they couldn't get the likeness rights.

So the world is on the verge of extinction, and yet apparently business is just chugging along so well that Tony still has to fight off a corporate takeover.

...I don't know if that's unrealistic or too realistic.

Also, why the hell did Tony blow the walls to allow the xenomorphs in?

This is why I don't like Hickman. Like Bendis, he wants credit for being, sweeping ideas, but never wants to put the work in.

The city is an escape ship. He’s blowing the walls so they can lift off.

I so hate "Prometheus" and all that followed it. Attributing the xenomorphs to some science experiment gone wrong seems so silly. The idea that they are perfectly natural and, in fact, aren't even the top of the food chain on their home planet is so much better. And trying to claim that the "Space Jockey" was the tiny little Engineer...

"I could write a better damn Alien story than that assclown Damon Lindelof" <--- Jonathan Hickman, probably

Wasn't it highly implied in the first movie that the Xenomorphs were bio-weapons gone out of control?

[numeronone]

Or planet-seeders that had been turned into bioweapons? But only if they got inhaled by one creature and then implanted into another?

I despair of that script. You may be giving it too much credit in saying it tried to "imply" anything.

Nope. Not once. They are complete and total unknowns in the first movie. Just a ton of eggs in an ancient derelict ship. The pilot had been killed by a face hugger, but whatever came out of him was long gone.

Didn't even have a name. "Xenomorphs" was a term given in the second film that simply meant "alien lifeform". It stuck in people's memories and became the name of the species.
