Aliens, at its core, is a movie about motherhood. Newt is the surrogate for Ripley's daughter that she lost. When Newt's in danger, it's not the badass space marines who save her. It's the mother who will move heaven and earth to protect her child.
very sweet take. Aliens is actually about corporate greed is "game over man", and we need to nuke it from orbit. Forced pregnancy and AI are still just distractions for the corporate greed.
I mean, you aren't wrong. The other main theme in my opinion is how the military industrial complex sucks and doesn't value human life as much as profit.
