She’s not a sidekick, arm candy, or a damsel to be rescued. Ripley isn’t a fantasy version of a woman. Ripley is pushy, aggressive, rude, injured, suffering from post-traumatic syndrome, not wearing makeup, tired, smart, maternal, angry, empathetic, and determined to save others, even at great cost to herself…
Why Ellen Ripley is clearly the greatest female character in Sci-Fi film. (x)
If there were aliens, especially those with human form, we would have seen them already. Or at least doctors, say during an autopsy. But then I realized there would be undercover alien doctors, so it would be covered up. So I’m convinced there are aliens here and we just don’t know it yet.
Ripley, Vasquez, Shaw, Vickers.

My favorite movie characters of all time in no particular order:
- Ellen Ripley - ALIENS 1986
“Get away from her, YOU BITCH”
| Him: | "Far away from LV-426." |
| Me: | Go to bed, Ripley. |
| Him: | I can't! They mostly come out at night... |
| Me: | Well I'm crawling into my stasis pod. See you in 57 years. |
