RoughPuff (roughpuff@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Tuesday, 21-Mar-2023 04:12:56 JST RoughPuff No, she fucks up plenty and is a genuinely flawed person. Has to use smarts to survive and barely manages. The later movies give her a bit of an Arnold Schwarzenegger/Chuck Norris/Van Damme vibe, but that's more because those type of movies were popular at the time, not because of politics.

RoughPuff (roughpuff@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Tuesday, 21-Mar-2023 04:12:57 JST RoughPuff You are forgiven. For now.
She is from the old Alien movies. The good ones. And some not *that* good but whatever. She is how strong female characters should be done. -

She doesn’t want to do anything, but she was in cryosleep so long she returned to earth and saw her daughter had died of old age already. She takes on the sole remaining orphan on an alien infested zombie colony, and when that girl gets taken she duct tapes a flamethrower to a machine gun and holds the alien’s eggs hostage in a ‘mom vs mom’ showdown
As far as ‘strong women’ go it’s one of the few good ones because it comes from a realistic font of strength. Not ego, or male imitation, but motherhood

Then she holds the eggs hostage and sprints to safety after leaving some explosives.
In the end she uses her - I’m not kiddin here - Forklift Certification to beat the alien queen
