The aliens can be easely killed with guns, but can withstand crashing into the earth like a meteor. Sure.

Also find it funny how the series overhype the Xenomorph threat when a squad of trained marines could kill a bunch of them so a army of trained marines especially with vehicles too would easily hunt them down. If the alien race was The Thing or the Zergs from Starcraft or the Flood from Halo, or X-Parasite from Metroid than I can understand but the Xenomorphs are very weak compared to most other sci-fi aliens, easily on the lowest end.

The Flood is insane especially when it becomes a Keymind. They're literally reality warping transentient beings.

The Xenomorphs killed the marines in Aliens. All that firepower didn't save them. Yeah, they killed a few, but the Xenomorphs were still a threat.

That's like saying the Flood aren't a big deal because Master Chief has killed hundreds singlehandedly.

The Alien-verse is pretty low tech too.

The whole draw with the aliens was how good at killing they were/are and how killing one could result in your own demise because of their extremely corrosive blood. That added a fantastic dynamic to their character.

Yep. It's very grounded.

It's not like 40K where you have walking cathedrals with firepower to wipe out a nation, or a 20ft tall avatar of an alien Gods charging through a battlefield with a giant flaming sword.

The Xenomorphs would be toast in almost all other sci-fi universes, but in their own universe they're a major threat.
 
If you include eggmorphing, which would allow a lone facehugger to regenerate a whole nest, then a xenomorph infestation on Earth or any colonized world could be very hard to stamp out. They can nest pretty much anywhere, in a forest, a warehouse, or an underground burrow in a desert. And even if you go into a large nest with guns blazing and kill the queen and all the drones, all it takes is a few facehuggers to escape to have made the effort for nil. And facehuggers almost certainly would escape, since they're small, fast, and they probably instinctually flee when they sense they're being overrun so they can start over somewhere else.
 
Another problem with the Alien franchise is that the lore is all over the place and inconsistent compared to most science fiction franchises.

I don't think they've ever even explained how FTL travel works and there's conflicting sources but are most likely not even canon.

Biggest mistake most sequels make is trying to expand lore and explain shit.

Personally for me the franchise would have been better off if we didn't know where the spaceship came from, or what that jockey was, or any of that other complete bollocks Ridley pulled out of this arse.

I actually liked Prometheus but I would have preferred a much more alien looking Space Jockey. I would have liked it to look like we see it in the original movie instead of it just being a space suit.

Prometheus was genuinely brilliant for about 40 minutes then it just descended into complete shit for me.

Hopeful for this series as I loved Legion and Fargo.

My sentiments exactly.

Romulus was absolute shite, no idea why people seemed to be so easily hypnotized by it. Idiot characters, callbacks and retcons must be a hell of a drug.

Conversely, this looks good. A good trailer doesn't = good series but I'm cautiously optimistic

Not feeling it.

I'm just jaded with the constant franchise cycle. I crave something fresh and new. I'm board of the same shit being constantly recycled over and over again.
 
What are the other species captured then?

Got the "predatory" Alien in there, the only other crossover Predator has was with the Aliens from ID4

Still a few unknowns remaining even if we count the Yautja & the harvesters as possibles
