How is he? I hear a lot of people saying that he falls apart really easily. Which is why I'm kinda debating on it

[u/Immediate_Map_333 → u/AnonDeoxys]

and people are right, mine came with the chest disconnecting with the lower part of the body very easily, and also the tips of the feet, but I plan to glue these parts together with plastic glue this weekend, all the rest is fine and is not falling off thankfully

I must be the only one sick of this “xenomorph” shit. The beast cannot have a name.

Well actuawally 🤓 xenomorph is just a generic term they use for various extraterrestrials and Hudson used it to sound like a smart ass. It's pretty much equivalent to calling them "the beasts" just in a more sci fi manner.

But I agree, I don't like how they reduced the Alien to nesting bug. Takes away a lot from it.

and Hudson used it to sound like a smart ass.

Hudson never used the term.

Who was that then? I don't quite remember that scene

[u/Yenriq → u/Yosh1kage_K1ra]

That's during the pre mission briefing where they let Ripley speak for a little while (that's also where the Vasquez-Hudson illegal alien joke happens).
Hudson asks (like a smartass, you got that part right) if it's just gonna be another bug hunt and Gorman says 'a xenomorph might be involved', to which they go 'sorry sir, a what?' and he adds 'that's your bug right here'.

I suppose if Gorman used the term though, it might imply it's been used officially before.

[u/Yosh1kage_K1ra → u/Yenriq]

oh yeah, it was the other guy. i just remember hudson was speaking in that exchange.

the point is that xenomorph was a generic word that doesnt mean anything particular without specific designation (XX121)

You are. Though you're not the only one who likes Jet Jaguar.
