I haven’t seen the video linked in this threadYeah I can tell.
My point was not saying these elements are “bad” but it was in counter to his idea that (and I paraphrase) that characters that are written properly act in a logical way, and not in way that betrays how the writer wants or feels they “should” act. To which my reply was to say that clearly Ripley changed from one movie to the next in a way that shows how Cameron likes to write female leads. Authorial intent is very apparent. So I’m not saying Aliens or the character is “bad”, but rather that if we wanted make his argument look flimsy it’s very easy to do. Which, as I’ve already said would be silly since I love Aliens.
Ah k, I understand what you’re saying above and can see what you mean about Cameron. For me though I have no issue with the progression of Ripley’s character from Alien to Aliens and I’ve never noticed any examples in either that stands out as the writer trying to manipulate how they want you to feel.
Will have to watch the video when I can to understand what you are saying in respect to Thor though.
