Agreed. every one seems to think the alien is as light as a feather at all times. Its poor judgement and an analysis of something that is utterly from a creative mind. When in stealth mode the alien (if silent) is will either be slightly audible or not. When explicitly muted in a film, its obviously film logic unless its expressed through some narrative made by a character (even then its just fictional mumbo jumbo).
And if one should be critical about 'stomping' sounds, one should be creative enough to compare ideas,discuss it and not just say 'oh, that foley is soooo fake lets make fun of it like children do' kind of thing on a fictional beast.
So I briefly mention it in this post to make a point that something this large that kills like it does needs to move with its heavy sounds. Otherwise it would be unlikely to exist and clearly muted because of filmic reasons.
By all means, the xeno does have advanced cordings and muscular structure to move silently when needed but you can't discount that it must make sounds when it needs to be fast.
But the video shows that it clearly didn't because of brief moment in videogaming buggyness. So how is that for an hour long discussion about something that should be clearly blamed on mere fantasy judgement calls?
So in response to "It's a movie". Yes it is! And that explanation makes up for a lot of marvelously impossible BS. The same applies to brief moments in gaming. But AVP1, the game, has lots of universal crap that doesn't make any sense. Mainly the inclusiveness of being able to play an Alien which messes up the games physics.
To this day, people say 'I want to play as an Alien' in a game made in 2023 makes no sense since the physics and realism has increased 1000% since AVP1 which came out in 1999.
Its not like art that came out in the 40s which should be respected for its brush strokes and paint qualities. It came out in the age of computers where every year they try to out do competition.
