    annoying nitpick

    There is no progression up a ladder in evolution, not towards sophistication nor complexity.

    Every single species alive on earth comes from a genetic lineage precisely as old and thus “evolved” as we do. Species can shed complexity and capabilities from evolutionary pressures just as much they can gain them.

    I know this is a meme but framings subconciously slip into our ways of thinking like this very easily.

      I’m going to nitpick even harder - Who says it’s a ladder depicting evolution? Maybe this framing subconsciously slipped into your way of thinking? It could be a ladder depicting of how the author regards creatures in terms of moral ability or even price per pound of entity. I’ll go one further, the inclusion of “God” on the ladder indicates that it’s not an evolutionary ladder.

        My point is about the conceptual framing of a ladder leading to a narrow frame of view about evolution, not that this particular meme is portraying itself literally as an evolutionary ladder.

    I don’t care what you say. No cut can make up for killing off Newt, Hicks and Bishop like that.

    The ‘Legacy Cut’ a fan made 4k restoration and recut of Alien 3 is well worth a look. Much better than any of the released versions imo.

    Director’s cut WAS a good movie, Alien Cubed is a masterpiece and MUCH better than Aliens

    Is that prison alien or Michael Wincott alien? Both were excellent and pushed the lore a bit.

      Prison, and I don’t care what it did with the lore, it was pretty miserable as a movie and the effects were unacceptably bad

    Higher Plants should probably go above Molluscs, but I agree with the rest.

    I’m happy below the plants, I think it was fine.

    The first 4 with Ripley are good, the rest are strange with a bad plot.

    I think it’s arrogant to the point of hubris to put humans so close to Jah
