Yes. As a child Alien was too scarey for me but I was able to watch Aliens. As an adult I don’t usually wade into horror, except on a Super Eyepatch Wolf tangent, but still love action sci-fi.

I find it interesting how a trilogy (then… However many there are now…) can wander from one genre to the other. It’s risky because you make a sequel partly because the the financial security you get from your fan base. Not sticking to that fanbases tastes is risky but also introduces people to new things in a more comfortable way.

Haha I read that originally as “they be robots and have removable arms and legs that fit erybody else.”

That’s fascinating though. I must say I like Aliens much better. I rarely revisit Alien but I might do in the near future.

What makes that spec a priority for you?
