Alien (franchise): Difference between revisions

Line 449:
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Ripley for one as she starts out as a simple commercial freighter officer and ends up kicking ass in ''Aliens''. Hudson also qualifies somewhat as he's a nervous wreck for most of the movie but goes out with a bang.
* [[Traitor Shot]]: Bishop gets one that looks like this when he talks with Spunkmeyer about the facehugger specimens kept in the medical wing. He later proves to be a capable support character who rescues Ripley and Newt at a pivotal moment.
* [[Troll]]: Bishop, while he's a nice guy and is programmed to never harm a human being, it doesn't stop him from scaring the crap out of Hudson with the knife trick.
* [[Trope Codifier]]: ''Aliens'' pretty much single handedly defined the visual style for humans in a [[Standard Sci Fi Setting]]. Babylon 5, [[Free Space]], [[StarCraft]], Halo, and [[Mass Effect]] all pretty much draw directly on this movie as the main source of inspiration what human military technology is and what it looks like.
* [[True Love Is Boring]]: Pretty much stated by [[Word of God]] as the reason Hicks, Newt and Bishop were killed off between ''Aliens'' and 3.
