The alien franchise is the most exciting sci fi property that is mostly about the importance of workplace safety regulations

There are entire movies that wouldn't have been made if a single scientist had worn a PPE mask while staring into a terrifying hole

“The message was ‘Crew Expandable’, goddammit…”

And the importance of listening to women

Also about the dangers of unchecked capitalism/cooperations. This seems to be a common theme in sci-fi actually. I wonder if the authors are trying to warn us about something. 🤔🙃

There should be an Alien movie where it’s just Weyland employees fighting to unionize.

Macgruber is the funniest.

in case anyone were interested in having this particular corporate dystopia set to The Beatles: bsky.app/profile/urba...

“Ellen Lou Ripley” parody of “Eleanor Rigby” by The Beatles completed by Mike Urbancic 26 Nov 2020 link to original: youtu.be/HuS5NuXRb5Y 🧵 🎵 Ah! Flee the mighty-morphing xeno! 🎵 Ah! Flee the mighty-morphing xeno! Ellen Lou Ripley Sits on the bridge of Nostromo on planet LV-- Calls quarantine!

To be fair, if the crew of the Enterprise had just instituted some basic health and safety protocols, 99% of their issues would have been eliminated. I mean.. wear a protective suit when beaming down and quarantine anyone beaming aboard. 🥺

The alien franchise is the most exciting sci fi property that is mostly about the evils of late stage capitalism. There. Fixed it for ya.
