Its subtle if you are not actively looking for it. I got into this fandom in my early preteen years and I didn't pick this up until I got older and more experience with the political ongoings on the US. Hell, even the example of Alien 3 with the subtext of abortion/pro-choice I didn't even think of other than Ripley making sure that the Queen does not fall to Weyland-Yutani hands. The dialogue with them arguing about how much they can learn from it and what they can become despite the face violation Ripley had received from the facehugger does mirror the pro-anti abortion arguments of letting embryo come to terms even if its a product of rape anyway, as the possible child can be a benefit to the world somehow (he/she could be a great genius, ect).

Marvel is sadly no longer a place of good storytelling due to its writers and artist think it's there own personal soap box to tell everybody there own political views even though we just came for a good story
But yeah don't let that one fool make yall tear each other apart. Everything has some form of political messaging, some much more in face front than others, but it is there no matter how much one wants it or not. If one wants to argue execution of combining political messaging with good storytelling now thats a different argument all together.
I mean does anyone remember the beginning to Men In Black? You know, the part when Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) and his partner were at the US-Mexican Border that stopped a routine border patrol who caught immigrants trying to get in the US as one of the aliens that the MIB agents were looking for was disguised as an "Illegal alien" play on words right there. In Spanish, Agent K was actually being friendly with them and welcoming them into the US while making back handed complements to the border patrol about thanking them for protecting the US from "dangerous " illegal aliens. That scene wouldn't fly theses days with right leaning snowflakes crying agenda. It was a perfectly three layered writing of introducing the MIB's task of policing actual space aliens entering Earth, placing the ironic joke of two organization groups investigating "illegal aliens", while shitting on the fact that the MIB's actual task was much more real and dangerous compared to poor immigrants entering another nation only because they are desperate for a better life?
This scene right is, is delicious!
