I know its dumb to get invested in characters.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

They alien is step down too. When the guy at the end can physically hold his own with it, I just can't see it as much of a threat.

4 completely collapses after the alien sex/alien human baby, but up until then, it's a pretty fun (and funny) movie, if very derivative.

Ripley, Hicks, Bishop, Burke, and David are big, bold, one-dimensional characters. All the other characters throughout this franchise are one-dimensional and flat. Though I'm excited for Danny McBride in the new one.
