New movie well tell sympathetic feminist orgin story of Xenomorph Queen.

I really wish I would have thought of this joke first.

Part of a slew of new movies that glorify the characters we'd previously thought of as the villains, Queen will show us how the Queen was actually a victim in all this. The plot will show how oppressed the Queen was by the King Xenomorph and how she finally threw off the shackles of the patriarchy....

Fanfiction in a nutshell

[Alan2099]

Oh. This was a humor site. nevermind.

[ChrisIII]

There's actually deleted material for Covenant that would have perhaps shed some origins on the Queen, with Daniels implied to be a guinea pig for that experiment.


Although I'm not sure where the series stands right now apart from a TV show being in development and the comics shifting to Marvel.

[Angilasman]

Are the aliens not sympathetic? They're just animals trying to survive and reproduce. The company that's deliberately lining up folks to die in order to obtain a valuable research specimen are the bad guys.

[Cyke]

Oh. This was a humor site. nevermind.

Just so we're clear on that

Yeah. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but they just have to remember the best rule of comedy: punch up, not down.

Thanks for saving me the click.

Yeah. Technically they are neutral. Like a Queen bee and her hive. Or ants. Or termites.

You wouldn’t call them evenly.

I don't believe comedy has rules.

[Celgress]

I thought this was real for a few seconds there.

As an aside, I wouldn't object to a movie that showed a sympathetic character such as Shaw becoming the first Xenomorph Queen due to the machinations of the evil David then destroying him for revenge.

[The Gold Stream]

i think the picture alone would've been funnier, with the article it feels a little on the nose but overall an ok joke

also i think resurrection portrayed the hybrid newborn with a -little- sympathy before being tricked by its mother

[Cyke]

I don't believe comedy has rules.

I think virtually every stand up comic, regardless of their own politics, would disagree with ya there. Set-up, timing, punchline, even averting tropes (which means you need to be aware of those tropes, like anti-humor) all come from a structure of some sort. Even a simple pie to the face is cause-reaction.

But then a comic would also have to take a good, long look at oneself very deeply if their "humor" is all about kicking the marginalized while they're *already* down. As if society doesn't do that already -- that's just called bullying then.

I find both sites quite humorous. Then again I hate team red & team blue, so between the two they provide quite a bit to laugh at.
