the interesting thing about alien: romulus is how the original alien movie was about how one of the most terrifying things for a man would be the loss of bodily autonomy akin to pregnancy with an alien gestating inside of you and eventually being born from you in a way that kills you (which CAN happen with human pregnancy) and then alien: romulus decided to bring it all the way back around and said what if a woman was pregnant and wanted the baby but instead accidentally turned it into a humanoid alien parasite that she had to give birth to and while she survived the birth she was eventually killed by her own alien child when all she wanted was for her baby to see the sun

#anyway i hated the ending of alien romulus if you couldn’t tell #i thought the alien baby was totally unnecessary #genuinely the worst part of thr whole movie #but also i understand they’re a big horror franchise and want to keep doing something different and subversive and Bigger #i just think it was a terrible idea #and was a weird misogynistic backtracking from the idea of the original film #also i just HATE birth and pregnancy in media it’s something that really squicks me out #and i was like oh cool they made it Worse #anyway i’ve been thinking about this for WEEKS
