Would you have gone back for Newt?

If her parents nicknamed her Newt, I suspect it was due to their admiration of Newt Gingrich. Anyone and anyone's kids of someone who admires New Gingrich can get fucked. if her nickname was instead Obama Wama Dingdong, I would be going down there in a power suit and personally skull fucking the alien queen in her dickface.

First, Ripley lost her daughter (in hypersleep for half a century, her daughter grew up and died without her). Newt is her new surrogate daughter. The whole film becomes a battle between mothers, the maternal instinct ramped up to a Queen vs Queen deathmatch. Of course she's going back and taking out the alien Queen too. Second, killing the Queen and torching the eggs puts a huge dent in that alien colony, plus I'm sure she felt good blowing those fuckers up. Third, don't put David Fincher's Alien 3 suckiness on James Cameron's masterpiece. What happens after Aliens doesn't count. And without the Ripley/Newt angle, Aliens isn't the masterpiece that it is.

It could still be a masterpiece and still have the Ripley/Newt angle...


It's just that she kinda just goes well, fuck! and then gets in the drop ship and just..takes off, really fast.
 
If the kid was called Obama I would have fed it to the fucking things when the machine gun sentries ran out.

Ripley did what she thought was best as per the other poster's comments re her not getting to have had a relationship with her own daughter.

Mind you she took a fucking longshot and risked Bishop and Hicks as well (but Hicks supported her so...)

And yeah abandoning a kid you made promises to, to those creatures, yeah that'd haunt my dreams and I'd have a lot of problems living with it
 
fuck no, Newt doesn't even make it to Alien 3. You would be going back for nothing

If Ripley hadn't had gone back we wouldn't have had crappy Aliens 3, story would've ended there, Ripley goes back and marries Hicks and Bishop is the best man...... No more aliens......

Probably not realistically.

The aliens slaughtered an entire team of highly trained and heavily armed marines, what makes her think she would have stood a chance in hell of getting the kid back anyway?

Heroine's plot armour is a huge ego booster and damn near indestructible.
Had I been Sigourney, I just might/would have gone for it.

P s. Well, if GRRM wrote the screenplay, then heck no!!!
 
Yep. But I'm a Sherdogger who has mastered the uppercut

A fucking men. Yes.
 
Quentin Tarantino said that the movie delivered on all levels when he saw it on opening night in theatres and the scene with the facehuggers in the room with Newt and Ripley, was so intense that when Hicks shot the glass and burst through, that the crowd went fucking mental
 
My kid, yes.

Newt no.

But Ripley was having issues with missing her own child’s life and latched to Newt. So it’s a possibility.
