Childhood is rooting for ripley to defeat weyland corporation in Alien
I believe that when Ash told her "there IS a reasonable explanation for this, you know", he was being completely truthful. As in: the company had knowledge that the Predators/Engineers/Terminators/whoever you like were coming back to fuck up Earth, and they needed to develop their own bioweapon very quickly for humanity to stand a chance. Or some other simple premise along these lines. It would make for a good story element in a further prometheus/alien flick.

When has that ever worked? The closest thing to xenomorphs working for humans is pic related and he's just a synthetic that looks like a xenomorph. 99% of the time Weyland-Yutani just make a xenomorph and immediately get eaten.
Every attempt the company made to capture and study the aliens were a colossal and deadly failure, with or without Ripley’s intervention.
Lets put aside that every time someone tries to control the aliens it goes wrong. Which advancements in human civilization could they give us apart from military?
This can’t be real
Tell me this isn’t real
Jeri is fucking great.
>implying that humanity's natural instinct for self-preservation is a bad thing
Fuck off Burke.
The entire "we want violent alien/animals/dinosaurs to train for war" plot in movies is so fucking dumb.
