10 Horror Movie Villains Who Deserved The Win
3. The Xenomorph Queen - Aliens
Put yourself in the shoes of a mother.
You've just moved into a new house and are looking to raise your hundreds of children there. Sure, you had to kill the previous inhabitants, but have you seen the property market these days?
Then, out of nowhere, some soldiers storm your house, kill your kids, and punch you to death with a giant robot suit! The cheek!
This is a very condensed and abstract look at the events of Aliens, the sequel to Alien. After Ripley awakens from stasis, she discovers that the Xenomorphs have taken over a human colony on a faraway moon. She uses her knowledge of the creatures to fight them off, setting in motion the events described above.
Reproduction is key to evolutionary survival, so her majesty was just doing what needed to be done in order to keep her species going.
Sure, she might be a hideous, monstrous killing machine, but she's a living creature just like the rest of us. Only with sharper teeth... and more limbs... and a long spiky tail.
Alright, she's nothing like us, but you get the point.
