What are you basing this on? I mean, didn’t they spool out Police Academies, Elm Streets, 007s and whatnot just about every year?

Having recently watched Aliens I can confirm that the dynamic of the Marine Corps really accounts for a large chunk of the movie’s quality. As minor as many of the characters may seem, they do indicate a lot of backstory and nuance within that narrow screen time they have. Like I doubt even Vasquez is quite as cold and badass as she lets on, offensive behavior being her way of showing affection.
And Gorman, good God, this guy just flew by me for ten solid years before noticing he, too, has character. Look at him trying to stay calm and give orders while clearly sweating his ass off, desperately trying to not lose control of the situation.

Good movie. To put it mildly. But only one of my favorites.

In fact, it was Ripley telling Burk about the ship, and he sent orders to the colonists to go find it.

Ever since then it’s Space Marines this and that. This movie was a game change!
