@ThatDamnCat Alien/Aliens is one of my favorite movie/sequel combos because they're both super good but for completely different reasons.
@ThatDamnCat also, people who say that Ripley acts as protective of Newt b/c of "motherly instinct" or whatever totally miss that they're bonded over shared trauma.
Agreed
I would presume more of the latter than the former anyway. She doesn't seem that motherly, just compassionate.
@starkatt
I think they're better watched together than separate.
Good sci-fi
