It's strange how people don't connect the themes of body horror and pregnancy together in a movie where the main villain acts through a computer literally called "Mother" And the main character is a mom. And the frequent flowering imagery.

And the underside of a facehugger looks oddly familiar.

The main character is a mom? Do they even mention Ripley's daughter in the first film?

Yeeeeah... I wouldn't exactly call "Alien" subtle. A masterpiece? Sure. But not super subtle.
