For me I enjoyed watching Lex from AVP on screen more. She felt more authentic as a character and she was probably one of the very few characters from both films that I gave a substantial shit about :laugh:

Lex is the stronger character.

Kelly barely registers as a character at all.


Though neither one of them really has any kind of character development. Lex basically treads water, and Kelly is nothing but a mish mash of fan wank and very trite cliches.

Who the f**k is Kelly anyway?

Thats exactly what I was thinking. I think the actress who plays Kelly could play maybe a good Amanda Ripley or something but the role she had in AVPR shat all over the mythos and characterization of the Alien films. She does a pretty damn good impersonation of someone who wishes to be Ripley though. The way she yells and speaks. Her elegant jaw line and appearance has Ripley written all over it.

Bring her back as maybe Amanda Ripley and that would redeem her a bit.....maybe :P

I really only cared about the creatures in the AVP movies. People were just fodder.

Exactly. AVP outclasses AVPR in nearly everyway.

Lex Luther was in AVP? and what the hell is a Kelly?

Yea that sums it up. Where is the "neither" option?

As much a fan I am of AVPR, I have to say Lex was the stronger character because she was given more time to develop as a character while Kelly always seemed to blend into the background.

Kelly was a marine?  I only remember her wearing a uniform, and that her hubby got a face full of inner mouth, that's it, didn't even know she had a name.  I also clicked on this forum to see who Kelly was.  I don't know who was the stronger character, but Lex was more memorable, probably b/c she was the main protagonist.  I think the only thing that would make Lex a stronger character was that she taken out of her element: she a cliff climber, not a combatant.  But I don't remember a lot of Kelly except her running around with her daughter.

Hands down, Alex Woods.

What if....that was her actual purpose?

Considering the uniform, I'd say yes.

I actually like Lex in AvP, like others I didn't even know who Kelly was.

So it looks like I'm the only one who knew who Kelly was going into this thread. :-\
