Alien (if you count the cat)

I count Ripley following protocol and refusing to open the airlock for a contaminated crewmate. If Ash hadn't stepped in, the movie would have ended very differently.

I don't remember much of that movie, but an Aliens / Evil Dead crossover sounds like a lot of fun.

[โ€“] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think that would work best as a comic. The two movies are too different in tone to put on screen.

That's fair, I feel like I could support the project either way.

Also she defended Burke when the Marines were going to kill him for what he did. I mean she wanted him punished but... Letter of the law here. He was weak, she defended him.

That's in the sequel tho innit?

[โ€“] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but that's ok isn't it?

I meant that Jonesy is the weak male that Ripley physically and emotionally protects.

Jonesy is a good cat
