Ripley was badass because she was normal.

Which I'm guessing she/they've learned to use within 10 minutes of 'transitioning' due to some nifty Matrix-esque integrated programming.
Because we all know the most effective means of dispatching corrosive-blooded Xenomorphs is close combat.
It's a real shame that they seem to be going the young adult route with the franchise, because a less monster/action focused Weyland-Yutani origin story would have had so much potential.
The Alien rights are owned by Disney now, though. There was no chance this was going to be good no matter what route they took.

The primary concept that makes the Xenomorphs so frightening is how devastatingly efficient they are. If one got inadvertently loose on earth, we'd be megafucked, regardless of the century. The only thing that can effectively contain them is the vacuum of space (and even that has its limits if you include Alien: Romulus in the universal canon).
There's a relatively decent Reddit post that outlines a reasonably realistic response to a Xenomorph outbreak on earth, but I suspect the whole scenario is pretty self-explanatory.
Fucking Disney.

The Xenomorphs are affected by the law of conservation of ninjutsu.

It is a pity they didn't go for a cosy crime theme, Miss Marple investigating the events at Crimley on the Wold while visiting her nephew who's doing very well with that Weyland-Yutani Corporation.

Carry on Alien, especially the bit where the alien's bra flies off and an engineer laughs like Sid James.

The Humans/Muppets then being left in fear of noises, signals on detectors caused by other humans/muppets.
Who can forget the jump scare when they think they're being surrounded by multiple aliens and the door suddenly opens accompanied by a loud squawk as Gonzo's chickens turn up.

Incidentally, the Klingon word for animal, Ha'DIbaH, was chosen because you can dub it in later and it looks just the same to everyone but lip-readers.

Just connect, use a mic and your speakers, and it was like you were just sat in the same room. Free, no subscription, worked great every time, small, low cpu usage.
Then Microsoft got their hands on it, and they made it bloated, less reliable, information grabbing.
So I stopped using it.

And it took me straight back to lock-down and working from home. Although it was a better UI and far less buggy than Teams, it quickly became obvious that Teams had better audio quality when the connection speeds were iffy which contributed to a wholesale switch over to Teams in my office.

I know there are loads of really talented, lovely, sexy artists on b3ta. Skulls&Sheets on Bluesky is looking for people willing to do original art of that most peculiar Welsh folk custom the Mari Lwyd which can then be auctioned off (via eBay) for several domestic abuse survivors charities. I've bought from previous auctions, it's all legit.
If you don't have Bluesky/can't see the link, the signup is here. If you have any questions I can pass them along if you wish.
