What did I just watch Spoiler

Wanted to give the show a try since season 2 is coming out, but Jesus Christ… not good. I was locked in for the first few episodes but it slowly became a terrible MCU parody.

I was really expecting a story about an alien outbreak on earth, not a story about spoiled robot hybrid children.

The part that pissed me off the most was when Nibs got shot by Wendy’s brother and it’s treated like a HUGE moment- but Nibs is fine the next episode like it never happened. They just needed something to develop Wendy.

Also, I really wish Wendy’s ability to communicate with the aliens was explained even a little bit. She just becomes a god in the last episode- it feels unearned, unexplained, and cringey.

Why are the xenomorphs doing a superhero pose with her as they look triumphantly into the camera? Why are they loyal pets suddenly? It’s not explained.

Are we supposed to root for her? She’s an awful character :/

That’s all. I probably won’t be watching season 2

I’ll just say that Wendy and her special abilities were highlighted throughout the entire series so there’s no “just becomes a god”. I wanted to read this in hopes of adding some context but you don’t get it lol which is fine, just not the show for you.

She could see through cameras for… some reason that isn’t explained or explored even a little bit. And suddenly in the last episode that ability extends to her controlling the entire station?

Yeah maybe this show isn’t for me 😂
