      Exactly what I was wondering; it always had a single tail, are they just fist pumping into the air that they’re finally being deep throated by an alein?

    I avoid franchise movies on premise, and the only time I’ve been disappointed has been when I’ve given one a chance.

    Surely those fingerlegs couldn’t have that strong a grip on their head? I reckon I could take one off me.

      You gotta deal with its ovipositor shoved down your esophagus and its tail around your neck squeezing tight. Havent you seen Alien?

      Did you forget that the tail wraps around your neck, and when you start prying on the legs they tighten their tail? They’ll choke you to death if you try to remove them. You can’t cut them off, because the powerful acid will kill the person. They’re perfectly evolved for this one thing. Kinda crazy, since this is the first time they’ve met people, but they’re already perfectly evolved to prey on people.

      Idk you ever hold a tiny beetle and get to feel how oddly strong and grippy their legs are?

      I just picture a giant beetle mask

      Don’t underestimate inverts. Coconut crabs are a little bigger, and are strong enough to climb trees. An alien facehugger could be just as strong and you wouldn’t be able to get it ofd with brute force.
