    so remember during the BLM movement there was a march that went through a gated community (IIRC), and this dumpy little dude and his wife came out to their front lawn with an AR-15 & little pew pew pistol-bith brandishing it like they’ve never ever picked them up before but regardless, there they were, armed and ready to shoot someone or something.

    now imagine that scenario with MAGA going in to a liberal gated community…what do you think would happen?

    My money is on the MAGAs shooting (or worse) the couple who were just … incredulous and indignant about the whole thing up until they died.

    America is ugly now, it will get a whole lot worse when they start shooting each other while those with means escape the chaos.

    Which (IMHO) is the reason it works so well. The first movie can’t be topped because we’ve seen the Alien and the tension can’t be repeated (see: the later movies which try this same formula and fail). Aliens takes that and ramps it up in a different way to make the desperation of escaping with firepower on your side still nerve wracking!

    The 3rd installment also takes a new twist and different approach but doesn’t succeed as well (I still found it enjoyable, and rewatch from time to time.

    Everything since then has been a cash grab of hot garbage.
