<blockquote>how would they even know about it?</blockquote>Didn't one of the characters make it back to Yvaga, which would be a connection to inform earth of the Romulus disaster? Earth would have already been aware of the possible danger in space.
<blockquote>“It’s supposed to slot in between the first movie and the second movie</blockquote>So why did people on earth in <i>Aliens</i> act as though this middle movie never existed?
<blockquote>Blame it on Sarah Conner followed by Ellen Ripley for all the female leads</blockquote>Ellen Ripley came first, in 1979. Sarah Conner (1984) was a stereotypical and unconvincing knockoff. She's only memorable because of the popularity of her franchise. Unlike Ripley, she was never infused with any real character.
<blockquote>I’m just surprised it’s not a black woman this time around.</blockquote>Been there, done that. You forgot about Sanaa Lathan's lead in Alien vs. Predator (2004).
<blockquote>we shouldn't be expecting to hear something like that in the future.</blockquote>The characters are dressed almost the same as in 2024. Accents change more slowly when groups are less isolated. Today's movies and TV accents will last longer than in the past.
<blockquote>If you hate immigrants so much then who’s going to pick your crops?</blockquote>Before the 1960's, black labor did most of the cotton picking and other field farm work in the US. They also did most of the maid work.
<blockquote>So essentially, this is basically a reboot of the 1979 movie for a brand new generation</blockquote>It completely lacks the suspense and character gravity that made the first one so popular.
<blockquote>I was loving it until they forced in the ‘get away from her you bitch!’ line</blockquote>They also borrowed the Ian Holm "You have my sympathies" line.
<blockquote>Abigal was responsible for get own kidnapping as it was a trap for the "kidnappers".</blockquote>Thanks for the clarification. Doesn't change the fact that Joey was responsible for her own predicament since she was still a kidnapper.
Wouldn't letting someone go allow them to alert authorities to her prior murders? What would be the benefit to Abigail for causing herself to be placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list?
