Only through the power of Christ can the Alien turn from their evil ways.
It is interesting how Christianity keeps popping up in the Alien films.
Aliens: Bishop the Android has the name of a Church office called Overseer who is in charge of many dioceses. Vasquez is seen wearing a cross (easiest to see at the mess hall scene), and she makes a sacrifice to save Ripley, Hicks, and Newt.
Alien 3: The Giant Cross Structure at the beginning, hymns, Apocalyptic Christian Inmates. Ripley dies in cruciform shape, killing the queen in molten lead which can be analogy of the lake of fire, hell, inferno.
Alien Ressurection: Call makes the sign of the cross in a chapel, and Ripely pulls up a iPad Bible they use to take over Father.
Prometheus: Elizabeth Shaw wears a cross, the film focuses on it several times includ> Shaw: Where is my cross?.. David, After all this yiu still believe.
Alien Covenant: Christopher: Because a man of faith can't be trusted to make rational decisions. He then later says he needs to gather his flock, a term paying homage to pastors who are suppose to guard the flock, pastor meaning put out to pasture and Christ being the Good Shepherd.
Interestingly all these Alien films have different directors, James Cameron, David Fincher, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and Ridley Scott.
Only Alien seems to have a lack of Christian themes. But I must do a rewatch to see if there is something.
