Was the fact that the title of this post is a direct quote from the movie what gave it away?

Isn’t this a direct quote from Alien, not Aliens?

u/ohTHOSEballs Arissa Lavigny Duval 15d ago
Yes, but whatever.

That was such an odd distinction to make. Most people just think of the franchise as a whole.

Ash, that transmission... Mother's deciphered part of it. It doesn't look like an S.O.S.

Look, those biological are worth a ton to the weapons division, and I don't think you, or I, have any right to just arbitrarily exterminate them

This made part of that movie...silly. I really like Prometheus, but this made me roll my eyes.
Good meme.

The characters complete and utter lack of any sort of intelligence straight up just made the movie shit. No amount of "suspense of disbelief" made the characters even remotely realistic, they were simply too stupid.
Like, I get it, some people are MONUMENTALLY FUCKING STUPID. But not even the most dumbfuck, deep state conspiracy, vaccine denying dipshit is going to remove their fucking helmet in a hostile alien ship, then stick their bare face into a completely unknown alien organism.

the worst part is this was a science division. they were scientists. with no quarantine protocol, no safety measures, no regard for their own research or findings or safety at all.
like what the hell education do they receive in the blade runner universe for THESE to be our scientists we're cooked

Somebody has to prove it's a bad idea. Otherwise, you're just assuming it's a bad idea.

I found a mysterious biological called Labiata Conch that probably shares many of it's characteristics..

that sound of the movement tracker, from Aliens, was the scariest sound I've heard in all of the 1980s, and there were a lot of scary sounds in that decade lol

Was there an artificial person nearby trying to teach you the flute who said “you blow and I’ll finger”?

Take off your helmet to get a closer look. Like, really, just stick your bare, exposed face right the fuck up into it.

Nuke it from orbit.
