And science doesn’t find new information and change its opinion.
It’s a new never before seen species. We are only just now accepting more dinosaurs having feathers.
It also attacked a Xenomorph with no eyes. A living organism is best but that doesn’t preclude if necessary it will take a recently deceased corpse as a temporary host in a pinch for survival.
How does using a dead corpse to find a better host not make it scary. Again, all your info is based on what scientist think based on observation in a lab and not in its actual environment. The entire point of the show has been the test subjects aren’t what you think. Kirsch, the Lost Boys, and the aliens all did more than what we believed their defined roles and capabilities were by others.
Re: the bolded, I'll tell you why I don't find it scary. The main primal fear of the T Ocellus to me, is that it hijacks your brain and makes you helpless inside of your own body, and a prisoner trapped while the eye monster takes over your brain and your body and does what it wants. If I'm already dead, I don't give af what it does to me...because I'm dead and can't experience it.
I just find that 10x less scary and 10x less interesting. Okay, cool, so now it's just a zombie?
It doesn't even make sense. That's a totally different feature. We never even truly saw its first power in anything besides a sheep for more than a couple of mins, and they teased having an actual conversation with it, and they didn't deliver on that, and then moved on to having it magically reanimate a dead person?
That's super lame and a huge cop out (IMHO)
seeing her come to the realization (though it was likely unintentional)
