Murderous mary lmao

Instead of writing characters that are relatable to its audience, like Amanda Ripley, you get the same forced idealism of what women should be "strong, independent, need help from nobody!" Gee that sounds an awful lot like a man <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

I miss Ripley

I miss Hicks more, though

Amanda Ripley is from Alien Isolation

I thought it sounded off, but you get my point

ellen ripley is the OG one

right, right

and yeah she's a good example of how to do a feminist lead right
the fact that she's a woman is secondary to the fact that she gets shit done

she's a strong leading character
who is a woman

Michael Biehn is in a lot of pretty awesome films

Don't forget night of the living dead

Black dude does all the protecting, white woman does all the clear thinking and the white men just get in the way.

Sounds like my country

in Aliens, they also make strong use of the character's maternal nature too to drive the character and story

night of the living dead shows main character going from being a hysterical wreck to being the only one who stays sane

I now need to rewatch it, such a good movie

aliens is fucking good

(Aliens)

so is alien

I llike aliens a bit more cos I'm a sucker for good action

Yeah

Drop ships and pulse rifles

Alien & Aliens are a good pair in a similar sense to The Terminator and Terminator 2, where the following sequels are okay, meh, and garbage

We got knives, sharp sticks, sonic electronic hullbreakers!

is anyone else looking forward to the next starwars movie coming out

it looks so fucking bad

I'm so ready

Fuck no

I already know it's going to make bank, but it'll be a train wreck

if like half of the shit that's in the leaks is true

Audience score would prolly be like 50ish while critics would be your standard 70

hoooooo god

Anything juicy to share

apparently the approval rating of the third act is like 8% in test screenings

sure I'll spoiler it

It was 6, 21, and 88

If I recall

||Han solo comes back as a force ghost
