Yeah, complaining about "wokeness" when it comes to the Alien movies is kind of silly. There's a heavy "woke" streak in each and every Alien movie, although much less so when it comes to PROM and A:C. If anything Hawley is kind of going back to the roots, so to speak. The difference is that we live in social media era where people share their thoughts and opinions 24/7, directly pointing out one's thoughts and intentions beforehand rather than sharing it later on when being interviewed about the show.
