gingerbrat [she/her]@hexbear.netto Movies & TV@hexbear.net•Something I've never seen in discussions of the Alien franchise: xenomorphs work as a metaphor for unexploded ordnance.English7·18 days agoOh I loooove this take.
Generally speaking, xenomorphs do represent the monsters humans created, and while it wasn’t that great, Alien: Covenant confirmed that. The Vietnam reference jumps out at you when you watch Aliens, so why the heck not, comparing the xenomorphs to unexploded ordinance makes plenty of sense to me.
The only issue I see, really, is that the xenomorphs can move once hatched. I was thinking about the scene in the first movie
Spoiler?
When they send Dallas into the ventilation system to find the chestburster and he’s instead killed by a fully grown xenomorph. Going with the ordinance idea, I was thinking: Is the chestburster what’s “fired” and the alien the explosion?
Anyway, I’ve been analyzing the alien movies for a while now and get easily excited over new theories, thank you so much for sharing yours!

Sometimes we are wistful, no matter what phase of life we’re in. Maybe this is just a time of self reflection for you, realizing some things that went unnoticed for a long time. Maybe now is actually the time to make a change, maybe it’s not, but there’s no need to feel bad about sharing that feeling of wistfulness. Take it easy, and be gentle with yourself.

But your dreams may not
I always felt this song was deeply sad and hopeful at the same time, striking this terribly difficult balance between passing on wisdom without the pain (from the father’s side) and the drive of youth when you want to learn everything yourself and do it on your own (from the son’s side)
