    Poor Xenomorph Queen.

    She’s always losing her cool, but it’s not her fault. Look what they did to her babies.

      Is the part where she called off her minions when Ripley was threatening to torch her eggs the only time in the franchise where a xeno has been shown to be able to be reasoned with?

        I think so.

        I think you see some communication in Alien Covenant with the synthetic guy. It’s been a while and I had a few drinks before watching that one.

        They’re kind of mixed. In Aliens the queen did parlay in a way to save her eggs, but in other movies like AvP or Alien Romulus they sacrifice each other to use their acid blood as a tool.

        So it seems situational.
