I just figured that if a xeno got on Earth, that would be it. So when the AvP movies decided to put the xenos not only on Earth, but also spread them across thousands of years of Earth history even in present day? Somehow I think Ripley overestimated the creatures chances of destroying 'everything' if the Company got a hold of it.
On that note, can we drop the company subplot? I never really bought into it and neither did Dan O'Bannon when he learned that they added the 'evil corporation' bit into the original film. You have Weyland Yutani who have the power and resources to literally build worlds but they're going head over heals for these xenomorphs? I quote Yahtzee,
Quote:
"Weyland-Yutani now of the opinion that an uncontrollable biological weapon that reliably wipes out their science teams on mass is totally worth openly declaring war on their own country's military for. Christ knows how Weyland-Yutani spent their time before the aliens were discovered. Probably threw children on piles of burning money."
