EXACTLY WHAT POPPED IN MY MIND

But it’s clear to me that title is referencing the hybrids. They are humanity’s worst technology nightmare: unlimited technological power with autonomous sense-making abilities and super-human strength. Far more scalable damage potential than a few Xenos.

Yeh I love that framing.

There was a lot of obvious and understandable eye rolling about the final episode title, everyone assuming OK HUMANS ARE THE REAL MONSTERS.

Super jacked for season 2.

I understand anyone who fawns over the canon and reveres Xenos as the ultimate scary being in the dark, but I've been a fan long enough that... they're just not that scary anymore! Xenos as simple antagonists has been done a LOT and so the approach the series is taking is interesting as fuck to me.

Fans who have been consuming graphic novel Xenos have been used to seeing/imagining them in daylight for a while; and sure they thrive in dark spaces but ultimately a creature as refined for survival as a Xeno needs to be able to operate in the light as well.

I feel you but I also think that there's an interesting reality there - that most things that scare the shit out of us are severely reduced once a little daylight is applied. Why should Xenos be any different?

As a teen, I watched it in the theater, high on mushrooms and my recollection of that evening were that it was the best piece of cinema.. ever …created.

“THEY SWIM?! Holy shit!!”

I refuse to crush that memory by watching it as a sober dad in his forties 😂
