There is a black person amongst the crew, the lead is some girlboss mary sue who is always right and saves the day and apparently the director and writer intended for some allegory pertaining to sexual assualt and stuff... like when that robot tried to orally rape the girlboss.
Awful movie.
Really? Woke in 1979? REALLY?!
shareYeah, that "Mary Sue" just lost the entire crew, was in panic in the end and destroyed the expensive cargo ship for nothing. I would rather call her the final girl, pretty standard character in horror movies at the time. And no self-respecting Mary Sue would agree to do the strip tease act Weaver did in the end... just for the pleasure of (straight) men.

Wow.
You’re wrong on all points.
BTW did you know that Ripley was originally written as a man?
But when Scott saw Weaver he liked her so much he cast her without changing anything about the role except her first name.
Nothing about her role or the film is woke because woke films focus on race and gender issues or try to specifically make a point that diverse characters and/or white women are better than white men by making men look like idiots.
None of that happened in this film.
Ripley just happened to be a woman.
The film isn’t about her being a woman.
These are facts.
These are logical.
There are reality.
That's THREE THIHNGS these insane morons don't comprehend.
All they can do is call you incel, and racist, because these facts, logic, and reality are completely uncomprehendable to them.
So the movie is saying that there is no difference between a man and a woman. And that a part written to be a man can be played by a woman with no changes.
That's the most "woke" shit I've heard.
You're completely wrong that "woke films" focus on race and gender issues. Very few films focus on them. And yet more than half the movies that are released these days are labelled "woke" by nerd dipshits who resent the idea that men are replaceable and interchangeable with women in certain movie roles. Which is precisely what you've described about Alien.
One aspect of that is men supposedly looking inferior to or stupid next to said woman. Which wouldn't ever be an issue of it were two men. Basically insecure little fuckwits are looking for stuff to label woke and they wouldn't know what focussing on gender and race issues would look like if it appeared in the cereal bowl they were masturbating into.
Ripley argues with Dallas about breaking quarantine. Ripley was right and Dallas looks stupid and wrong and then dies because of it.
Parker and Brett are surly, lazy and Ripley treats them like dirt. They both die stupidly.
Ripley gets proven right every single time and survives while all the stupid incompetent men die.
The reason Alien doesn't get called "woke" is because the whole anti-woke thing is a delusion of threatened little poop-butts who are scared of growing up in a world that's no longer aimed at their adolescent interests and concerns.
Wow. Looks like I struck a nerve. And what’s with all the insults?
I guess it’s like they say, “Reverting to name-calling suggests you are defensive and therefore find my opinion valid.”
>So the movie is saying that there is no difference between a man and a woman.
Movie didn’t say that. Neither did I.
>And that a part written to be a man can be played by a woman with no changes.
Depends on the character. In this case, yes. Since the character didn’t do anything gender specific.
>That's the most "woke" shit I've heard.
Then you lead a sheltered life.
>You're completely wrong that "woke films" focus on race and gender issues.
No I’m not according to this and many other sources: “The term ‘wokeness’ in film refers to a conscious attempt by storytellers to confront and bring attention to social and political issues.”

>Very few films focus on them.
Not true. You need to get out more. For example, almost every film and show released by Disney alone since Endgame is woke.
>And yet more than half the movies that are released these days are labelled "woke" by nerd dipshits…
Half? I haven’t count them all but many are these days.
>…who resent the idea that men are replaceable and interchangeable with women in certain movie roles.
The type of roles many people have an issue with are when studios adapt another source material and practice race and/or gender switching to reduce the number of white men from that material.
>One aspect of that is men supposedly looking inferior to or stupid next to said woman.
I know. That’s what studios are doing to make women look better than men. Thanks for agreeing.
>Which wouldn't ever be an issue of it were two men.
Also, when films or shows imply men (almost always white) are better than women, those characters are labeled sexist and/or racist.
But when women are shown being better than men, they’re labeled as being empowered.
>Ripley argues with Dallas about breaking quarantine. Ripley was right and Dallas looks stupid and wrong and then dies because of it.
Dallas was wrong but made the decision to protect one of his crew, not because he was stupid.
>Parker and Brett are surly, lazy and Ripley treats them like dirt. They both die stupidly.
Neither died stupidly. In fact, Parker died trying to save Lambert. Her cowardice got him killed. Cowardly women isn’t “woke.”
And Ripley didn’t treat them like dirt. She was just asking them questions and frustrated by their un-professional attitude.
>Ripley gets proven right every single time..
She was right once about the quarantine.
>The reason Alien doesn't get called "woke" is because the whole anti-woke thing is a delusion of threatened little poop-butts who are scared of growing up in a world that's no longer aimed at their adolescent interests and concerns.
There you go being defensive again. My opinion really scares your liberal sensitivities.
Like you know I’m right and you’re trying desperately to prove me wrong but can’t.
The reason Alien doesn't get called "woke" is because it isn’t woke.
Plain and simple.
Riley is highly regarded as one of the greatest lead characters in sci-fi horror history, especially by men.
Know why? Not because she’s a woman.
But because she’s a great character period, especially in the sequel.
She is also often cited as one of the roles showing men don’t hate female-led films.
We just don’t like female-led woke films. Alien and Aliens don’t fall under that category.
"Also, when films or shows imply men (almost always white) are better than women, those characters are labeled sexist and/or racist."
Do you ever read shit like this back? No they fucking do not?
Who labels male characters sexist or racist for being "better" than a woman at something? Who the fuck is thinking that someone they see as racist/sexist is somehow "better"? You see how that makes no fucking sense except in your paranoid delusion?
Liberals pushing their woke agenda and then pretending they’re not and insulting people like you’re doing right now.
But no one is buying your agenda or your efforts to refute it.
Articles like this are pointing out the massive problem and that it needs to stop before it ruins the entertainment industry:

Ripley didn’t do much for most of the movie. She sat around for a good portion of the movie, while the men attempted to deal with the Alien and were picked off 1 by 1. She survived, but she was in no way a Mary Sue girlboss.

Yes, He's taking the piss specifically out of people constantly complaining what they perceive as woke , just to be clear.
