but god that cast had a death wish

when david said shaw had "good survival instincts" I just laughed out loud

I laughed at a lot of points actually because they were, like, just trying to die

"we're getting weird readings outside this door!"

"quick, open that door!"

like one thing I like about Aliens is everybody acts fairly reasonably, even burke had motivations that made sense

and Hicks decides to cap his ass when it's obvious he's trying to kill them

IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS IN THIS THAT DAVID IS TRYING TO KILL THEM but nobody really seems to want to do anything about it

in fact anybody who trusted that creepy ass robot probably had death coming to them, seriously no reasonable human being would trust him

SHIRO SAID DAVID WAS OUT TO KILL THEM ALL TOO and I knew this going in but somehow didnt get it from the movie?

granted that was partially because I was too busy going WHY IS HE TAKING OFF HIS HELMET?? WHY IS EVERYONE TAKING OFF THEIR HELMETS??

and WHY ARENT THEY QUARANTING HIS ASS oh thank god Charlize you are the one reasonable person OH DEAR GOD PEOPLE THERE ARE LIKE TEN OF YOU

WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY DO TO NOT DIE IF HE CAME ON BOARD INFECTED

My favorite characters were the captain, the asian dude with one line who seemed to be always thinking about how fucking ridiculous this

shit was, and Charlize

oh and the geologist

ALSO Fassbender is highly effective in the unfeeling robot role I THINK WE HAVE FOUND HIS FORTE

he was totally effective yes hahaha

he totally killed shaw's bf though and tried to kill her too

it's not even he was trying to kill them he just sort of randomly decided to because it was funny i guess

which makes it creepier

GOD WHEN THEY ALL TOOK THEIR HELMETS OFF

I WAS LIKE

WHAT

ARE YOU DOING???

oh i guess if it doesn't kill you in the first two seconds of breathing IT MUST BE 100% COMPLETELY SAFE OKAY

OH TOTALLY AND THERE'S ZERO POSSIBLE WAY THERE COULD BE YOU KNOW A SUDDEN CHANGE IN ATMOSPHERE OR, GOD FORBID. SPACE VIRUSES OR PARASITES

WHICH IS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO HIM even though yeah it was actually david that sickened him

still you think people would be concerned about avoiding that again

instead of being all, yeah, shit happens
