Aliens, at its core, is a movie about motherhood. Newt is the surrogate for Ripley's daughter that she lost. When Newt's in danger, it's not the badass space marines who save her. It's the mother who will move heaven and earth to protect her child.
very sweet take. Aliens is actually about corporate greed is "game over man", and we need to nuke it from orbit. Forced pregnancy and AI are still just distractions for the corporate greed.
God i hate that Alien 3 ripped that away from her.
And off screen too, like wth were they thinking.
It's cool when people try to make humorous analogies without knowing the source material
Did Ripley have a kid in the movies, or was the character invented for Isolation?
Otherwise the meme is facts.
Just came here to drop the info: Her reacting to the news of her daughter dying of old age while she was in the Stasis Pod was a deleted scene in the Aliens Director's Cut.
Love the director's cut of Aliens - so much extra character building. I know why Cameron cut it, but it's good to know it's an option if I choose.
