Is Ripley a Mary Sue?

no, do you even know what mary sue means, retard? hint: it doesnt mean capable woman

no she didn't bypass the compressor. She had to struggle and did not know everything.

>failed to stop Ash
>couldn't stop the self destruct sequence
>she nearly gets punked out by a single face hugger in Aliens
The only reason why she killed the xenomorph in the first one is she caught it off guard after trying to incubate or knew it was mutually assured destruction.

>slightly disappointed it's not a short gif of that scene.
No, she's not a Mary sue. She struggles and fails at times, she has significant vulnerabilities and in the end loses unceremoniously to her nightmare (if you want to go by A3-A4 canon).
The first three films wouldn't even have worked if she wasn't convincingly vulnerable.

Not in the first movie, but she is in every one after

Sigourney was never hot what the hell is wrong with you people?

*cooms*

this lmao. She literally needs to an hero to stop her nemesis while getting fucked left and right. I only care about Alien-Alien 3. Resurrection was JUST-tier

Her hairy armpits in 2 were pretty hot. I'd fuck her with a good heart.

Ripley is shown to be just a regular working class woman who gets lucky and kills the Alien in the first film, it's not by extreme wit or strength or superpowers that she survives, it's mostly just dumb luck and survival. The second film is a classic action film, it's not a tragedy, so it's not exactly "Mary Sue" to have intense action and fight scenes and win in the end, it's just that's how a lot of action films go. In the third film she's obviously not a Mary Sue at all, she's shown as scared and weak in a dangerous place, beaten up and literally dies in the end. Her character changes a lot over the course of those movies. Everything after 3 is not worth mentioning desu. So the overall story arc isn't "Mary Sue".

The ultimate core characteristics of a Mary Sue are that the character is overpowered and in ways that are unexplainable and that are unbelievable and they have no past misdeeds and are basically pure and perfect and as a result they can't really develop much and have nothing to atone for and often have little to no personalities because the director and writer just want a "strong perfect female role model" and didn't stop to think about writing an actual character.

Yes

Absolutely not

IM GONNA COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

She's cute

Her clone is.

If she were a mary sue she would've done the opposite of the wrong shit the whitest character said, saved nearly everyone, and would've 1v1'd the alien, killing it with her bare tae-bo trained fists.

>a mary sue is supposed to be unrealistic
>post a shot she actually made in real life

The character in the movie expected to make the shot. Sigourney just got lucky.

That was a real shot and the first shot. Watch Ron Perlman's reaction. He "ruined" the shot and that's cut as close as they could before he broke the scene completely with an outburst. It's in one of the making of bonus features somewhere.
>Yeah, Resurrection gave her stupid super powers.

>Gets overridden by Ash when he lets the expedition back into the ship
>Fails to save any of the crew (aside from a cat)
>Only gets promoted to captain when Dallas dies
>Almost gets killed by Ash with a fucking magazine
>Couldn't stop the self destruct sequence
>Reduced to a nervous wreck playing hide and seek with the xeno by the end
Nah

Mary Sue is a reference to a character that is a self insert of the author, who has no redeemable qualities but everyone in the story acts like they do. The two best examples come from Star Trek - one a fan work where the term was coined, and then Wesley Fucking Crusher, the absolute useless retard character.

And then there's this gormless retard.

Nope. Hell, in the first one, she's barely a character.

In the 4th one you could say she edges into this territory a tiny bit what with the "hybrid Alien superpowers" stuff, but even there, the world doesn't revolve around her choices 100% of the time, and it's even Ripley really anyway.

Should have called her Nipley

He was good as that asshat in Blade 2, wonder why..

>tfw this was my favorite alien movie as a kid

I dunno why. The first two scared me, I don't remember a lot of 3 even till this day. Going back Alien is probably my favorite now but I still have a soft spot for Resurrection.
