299 // The Men of the Alien Saga

A lot has been said—and rightfully so—about Ripley and how important she is to the history of the perception of women in Hollywood stories.

But it's worth noting the many progressive, complex, and well-rendered male characters who also make the Alien series so special.

Whether it's Dallas' steady leadership, Hicks' quiet kindness, or Dillon's redemptive (or is it?) arc, the Alien saga has many male characters worth celebrating.

Today, Jaime, Patrick, Perry, Andie, and Micah do just that!
