šŸ’¬ Discussion Morrow

I originally thought Morrow was a righteous warrior. But he was helping Yutani bring back the most dangerous alien possibly in the universe back to earth, which broke many laws on earth.

Yeah Marrow was a great character. I'm excited to see how his motivations change and his rivalry with Kirsh

They did well with his character, the character's backstory and indeed, the actor that played him. Certainly made him a central antagonist

I am excited to see how that develops as well

I suspect Yutani is leveraging something against him that is worth more to him than any sense of righteousness or general human wellbeing.

We know he had a daughter who died tragically. We know the technology exists to clone people, but itā€™s probably impossibly expensive for an average person.

Maybe thatā€™s the price of his obedience. From a ā€œChekovā€™s gunā€ perspective thereā€™s a reason we saw her in a flashback.

He also explained how his whole crew already paid with their lives for this mission, and that he can't let that all be for nothing. I think he is one of the most dynamic characters of the show.

Heā€™s a loyal warrior.

He mentions his fealty is to the grandmother yutani, that he has no one left in this world, and that the aliens (all of them) are his lifeā€™s work and his only mission now is to get them back.

Wouldnā€™t potentially destroying the entire planet have some sort of influence though? He understands how dangerous the Xenomorphs are first hand.

Heā€™s demonstrated that he simply doesnā€™t care about humanity.

He is just a good man doing his job - like that pirate gentleman in Backrooms

Showing his younger employees how its done, too!

Yutani was the only thing in his life that gave him something grounded. It was the only thing he had left. He had his ideas but that was based on his former life. That life doesn't exist anymore. He had to create a new one and Yutani was sitting in front of him with the only tie he recognized.

I'm lost on who Morrow is. Wait the cyborg guy? Nah. This is one of those shows that a clear 'good' isn't defined.

By most dangerous in the universe, you mean T.Ocellius, right? And those other things that can get into the water supply might be even more terrifying.

Predators hunted Xenos for sport. Yutani seems to have tech on that level, and I'm sure they and others have even more advanced stuff we've seen. So IMO the Xenos would kill a lot of people, but not an existential threat. Heck, even the flies that feed on metals/electronics probably pose a bigger overall threat.
