Which alien species is taking over Earth first?

Xenos vs Death Angels

Can a Xenomorph even damage them? Only the acid could potentially harm them. They would basically have to swarm them.

Xenos vs Death Angels is actually free. All it takes is one face hugger winning and its over.

Thing is where it gets complicated

I watched the Thing for the first time over the summer. I mistakenly thought I had seen it but I was thinking about another movie that came out the same year. Swamp Thing. So I went ahead and watched it …..


That movie was a fukking masterpiece. Holy shyt


You could literally cut the tension with a knife.

The best thing about The Thing. Is that it’s one of the rare horror movies. Where every character makes smart decisions.

This is ultimately a battle between The Thing and The Xenomorphs. Since they have the best abilities. Who wins is a toss up, but the Death Angels are problem too. I think they’re the fastest, and most durable species on this list.

A face hugger won't be able to strangle a death angel and get their armor to open. I'm not even sure it could burst through the armor. It would have to exit through the face and that's not how they operate. The xeno might die inside their body.

The only advantages xenos have are their intelligence, numbers, and stealth. I'm an open field they'll get slaughtered. They'll eventually figure out they can't make noise but if they can't replicate the frequency that stuns them they might just have to wait it out until they figure out how to drown them.

The xenos might just have to leave them alone and practice avoidance.

all it takes is literally one face hugger winning though. and when it comes to stealth, that's basically their default state - eggs included

not trying to nerd out too hard but death angels don't make sense in that they're biological plotholes. they can survive reentry and the vacuum of space but they can drown? skin can take absurd damage and pressure but their insides are buttery smooth pause. they talk to each other but don't coordinate. perfect predators that have no sense of smell, etc. they're OP - til they're not.



so like....

if a xenomorph can break out of a technologically advanced prison and do other wild shyt, they're breaking into a death angel eventually too

They're too heavy too swim. I don't think that's a plot hole. It's not like the Shamalan movie where the aliens chose to come to earth. The DA's just floated in space until they landed here. They were built for their environment not ours.

Armored insides wouldn't make much sense.

Xenos would win by reproducing through every species on earth the face huggers get to. Their numbers would overwhelm the planet.

I'm saying that the xenos would have to win by attrition because they can't harm a DA without a swarm. While they're attacking different life forms the DA's will be killing everything moving.
