You may not like it, but this is what peak Kino looks like.
>Not a Mary Sue who is gifted power. Has to earn respect. >flawed. Almost psychotic and broken >redeems herself through motherly instinct and sheer grit. >doesn't hate men or see men as her oppressor or problem. Wants to save them and work with them if they are worth of her respect. >gets the job done. >learns as she goes and transforms into an action hero as the movie progresses. >plays to her strengths like piloting, cunning, and methodical nature.
How can Marvel and Star Wars even realistically compete? How do they not feel like total assholes that they can't write a story this based or well developed and it's been 40 fucking years.
all true. never been topped. cameron cant even top it himself.
Gavin Smith
It wasn't just Ripley who was a strong character Vasquez was a tough cookie. Even ferro was, she went straight for her gun the second she saw a alien. Another few seconds and she'd have put it down

Feminism was always a Marxist-inspired misandric movement meant to subvert and destroy society. Not only is "Equality" among the sexes impossible due to the drastic differences, women don't actually want the responsibilities that comes with having equal rights.
Just because she wasn't as toxic as the modern action girl trope doesn't make her good.
Kayden Gutierrez
The woman on the left. One of the most beloved female characters in cinema history (played by one of the most respected actresses of the last 40 years) who is strong, intelligent, determined and succeeds because of her perseverance and yet still feminine while able to command authority by using logic and reason. She has a cat. Same thing could be applied to Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs, except for the cat, although Jodie Foster does like pussy.
The woman on the right. A slithering cunt, played by a sociopathic narcissistic fungi breeding greaseball, being forced upon the public as a feminist icon and shilled by a corporation who is silencing critics while using misguided political activists to promote their product and attack anyone who see's through their agenda. She also has a cat!!!FACT!!!
I guess Sarah connor is a close second in the first 2 films. Got a feeling I'm gonna hate her guts in the new one.
Isaiah Adams
This is only the male fantasy of feminism.
Aiden Martin
>Vasquez was a tough cookie. Vasquez is a shit female character next to Ripley since she's basically written as a man with tits. There's nothing remotely feminine about Vazquez as far as personality goes. Yea you can have your tough bull dykes, but Vasquez's portrayal has seem to become the archetype strong female character these days: A man that happens to look like a woman. On top of that they're usually HUGE cunts too and not even Vazquez was a bitch; just tough.
Isaac Adams
Nah, it's a reality I think in some stressful situations women raise up to protect children and do heroic things. It's just pretty fucking rare.
Jose Russell
I think that's a big extreme. She has an implied relationship with Drake, and backs down a bit when Ripley flexes on her. She also shows a lot of concern for Drake when he dies and gets visibly upset.
She also respects and follows hicks without question.
she's not as developed as Ripz but she's no Captain fungus.
Alien is just by design a more progressive franchise than Star Wars or the MCU. Star Wars always had that sorta mythic narrative about chosen people and those favoured by fate that doesn't mesh well with emancipatory themes. Rogue One is the best one when it come to that. Marvel on the other hand, besides generally taking a very American conservative approach to the superhero genre that, for example, the X-Men or even the DCEU managed much better to avoid, just has that kinda Randian "exceptional people doing exceptional things" idea going on that, once again, doesn't oedn itself to progressive themes. Batman v Superman thoroughly deconstructed that.
You take Alien and it's a much better fit. In the first movies it was workers defending themselves against an alien threat and, more notably, against a large corporation that would gladly let them die to recover that creature to weaponize it. In the second one it was soldiers instead and in the third one prison inmates. There was always sort of an idea of class struggle in there and liberation in there, never at the forefront but definitely always in the background. You couldn't but a character like Ripley in Star Wars or Marvel because she would stick out like a sore thumb. What makes her special isn't the Force or any superpowers, it's bravery, intelligence and resolve. She's a working class hero, something the rich are now extremely afraid of.
She did fit in well with the rest of her squad. There are different contexts where a character like her would be very irritating but in Aliens, she wasn't.
Elijah Brooks
Yes, because she's Ridley Scott's character.
Grayson Butler
Boomers on 4chins be like Your degree is worthless, kys.
Joshua Gray
I'm flattered you think I've ever seen a place of higher education from the inside.
Kino has nothing to do with feminist thematics. Don't cheapen the word with your fanboy wanking.
Sebastian Fisher
>it's a reality I think i It's a fantasy action movie aimed at teenage boys who have never had sex, you microbe.
Carson Barnes
You're projecting, incel.
Josiah Davis
Nah, it's just a female heroine done right, feminism has nothing to do with it.
Liam Gutierrez
Ripley is actually a terrible character and all the Alien joints suck. People pretend to like her to trigger the libs epic style.
Angel Morales
No, Aliens literally is a fantasy action movie, and the core demographic for fantasy action movies is teenage virgin boys. This is fact.
Chase Perry
Excellent post, I wish more people put in a little bit of effort.
Liam Russell
Still projecting, incel.
Jacob Sanders
>because she's Ridley Scott's character. Ridley Scott had barely anything to do with Alien other than stitching together lots of other peoples work. He's a director in the sense of coordinating everything. He has very little creative influence in his works and takes way, way too much credit for Alien.
Andrew Diaz
>Sigourney was LITERALLY SHAKING because she had to hold a gun Fucking libshits. And I think Vasquez's actress was saying something among those lines too. That being said, they actually done their job well. If I never heard that commentary track, I would never have guessed.
Also, stop hating on Disney princesses, you double Russian.
