>Entering this piece, many might expect a cut-and-dry win for Aliens. Cameron’s work and every single performance makes it one of many people’s all time favorites. The hopelessness of Ripley, and then the marines, it slowly broke down the cold exteriors of the characters and gave them a heart.
>What you have to remember though – Alien is a horror/sci-fi, where Aliens is a sci-fi/horror, making the two are almost different creatures. However, when you look at Alien, Aliens, and beyond, where would we be without Scott’s classic? There is a very good reason Alien was entered into the BFI and why there is so much hype surrounding Covenant. Stuck back in the confines of a tin can in space, we know exactly what is coming our way when we prepare another crew for the slaughter.
>Alien is easily one of the most parodied films out there and introduced one of cinema’s greatest monsters. You have to tip your hat to Ridley Scott for that one. Aliens may kick Xenomorph butt, but Alien gave a whole generation of kids nightmares and laid those slimy eggs into the minds of horror aficionados everywhere for the past 38 years.
>And the winner is….Alien!

>the other entries literally aren't even worth comparing
This whole franchise is pretty much built upon the hype of 2 movies

They're both equal.
How does Alien have a better plot? It's a horror film set in space. It's barely a step above Jason X. Alien is great because of the atmosphere and tension, not the plot.
>You have to tip your hat to Ridley Scott for that one.
no i don't, giger's designs made alien memorable.
Literally average script carried by by its sense of design and music, the same can be said for sci-fi movies like ET and Flight of the Navigators.
Alien has a more interesting story and overall better filmmaking. Tell me why I should consider any other factors.
>screenrant cucks think Alien is better than Aliens for the dumbest reasons
For me this confirms that Aliens > Alien.

aliens is an action movie. it's not a sci-fi/horror although it certainly has those elements.
