- Let's pause our colonization trip and instead go visit this planet just because their radio transmission has the same tune as "Country roads." It's a planet that's not even in the same system as ours, but somehow has the same song? That's not suspicious at all!
- Let's not wear any suit / helmet of any kind before setting foot there. It's only a planet that no one has ever set foot on before. What's the worst that could happen? Oh no - space aids.
- Let's not save my one friend who's stuck in the room with the murderous beast before it comes out the infected dude, and instead open the door when the thing is already out and running.
- Let's make two of the characters slip and fall on the exact same pool of blood. Why not just make this tense scene into an episode of AFV instead?
- Let's make sure that these folks have no training in firearms whatsoever. That one lady accidentally shoots a propane tank like thing and blows up the one and only lander they have.
- Let's send in a team of like, 20 couples to an extremely important colonization expedition with 2000 souls on board. Bias, bias everywhere. For example - let's endanger 2000+ people through this unknown planet's thunderstorm so I can save my wife and the two other people who're alive.
- Let's just follow and listen to the android that was fraternizing with a murderous creature. Same monster whose buddy just killed my wife. "Oh, stick my head near this egg thing I've never seen before? Sure, I didn't have any other plans for the day."
- Let's never explain why David killed the engineers.
- Let's just claim the Xenomorph is a "perfect being", even though it just attacks and kills everything it sees (completely unprovoked), and is a being that does not seem to care at all about betterment / research, civilization, or inventing anything near capable of what humans can.
- "I'll do the fingering." And no, even in the context of the scene - this was just as ridiculous.
- Let's not even consider the possibility that the "good" android might actually be the "bad" one. Even though it's already known at this point that the previous models had a will of their own.
- Let's just retcon every single thing about how the Xenomorphs existed way, way before all this shit in this movie happened. These things showed up way before in the Alien movies, the Predator movies, and even the goddamn AvP movies. P.S. I'm not personally offended by this aspect, but one of the core tenets of this movie was to explain the origin of the species. But it's clear that they never really seemed to care about the continuity, so I figured I'd be wasting my time thinking too hard about it.
