True.
Aliens never were a doom's day death machines. They are like slasher maniacs, but beasts. Alien can easily kill you due sudden attack, high speed and silence, but if you notice it first and you have a weapon - well: Game over, alien, GAME OVER!
Maybe elephant-size queen can rip an android and a man apart, but a classic alien - not powerful, than wrestling star.
Xenos are way stronger than a wrestler
Heck even weyland yutani book says a xeno can crush a humans skull with its bare hands and dont forget we can see them in the movies break down armoured doors. But yes they arent super killing machines like you say.
Sil is right too: Vazques shot the xeno in one of the weakspots in the head and it fell down injured where she could use a easy martial art trick to pin its head into the wall and as it was already injured it didnt resist and died soon after.
The runner was like an animal just toying with several of the humans in the movie and dillon too while when it was angry and wanted to kill one, it did ina second and lift humans with ease.
But in the end its a opinion as we dont exactly have data on it besides what the books says and we see them do at times, although in the movies it depends on the plot what will happen.
But I point to my post in another thread where the issue with why xenos in the game are killed in the thousands and is at times weaker than they should be, in short: its a arcade shoter and a horde shoter
