Have you ever confused Hicks and Hudson ?

Technology is also cyclical.

Aliens at least attempted to tell their marines apart bit giving them differing, if flat personalities. Not saying they are deep and interesting, just nobody usually confuses Frost with Hicks.
How about Hicks and Hudson?

I rate Ripley's look from best to wost in this way:
1~ Alien
2~ Resurrection
3~ Alien³
4~ Aliens
Of course this is just personal taste.
At first I had thought you were ranking movies so I thought:
As for the Ripley looks: I'm not sure how I would rank them (never gave it a thought tbh) but I damn sure know I don't like her look in Resurrection. It's too much of contrast for me in comparision to how she looked in previous moviesQuote from: Trash Queen on May 05, 2021, 01:54:44 PM
It's not an issue, in my opinion anyway, because trying to predict the future's ultimately futile it's what it reflects in us that's interesting.

Contrast in looks of Ripley in A:R is deliberate IMO. Ripley 8 is different character, she ought to look different.

The APC can technically fit down there, but again -- assume Gorman's competent, they don't drive down to start blasting.
but my point being I'd prefer them still be formidable even if you do everything right.
Their only real option to deal with the Aliens was ever only to nuke the things. It takes a pretty formidable threat for there to be no clear middle ground between "we get massacred" and "we obliterate the site from orbit".
