13 Awkward Moments That Must Have Happened After The End Of Famous Movies
12. Ripley Realises She Killed More Than She Saved - Alien: Resurrection
The Actual Ending: With the mainstream rise of Joss Whedon, Alien: Resurrection has had a mini-resurgence as an example of him working at less than full steam. A lazy fan-fiction, it's contrived with a middle act that goes nowhere and an incredibly dumb final villain. The film does up the ante in one way; how it ends. After increasingly explosive finales (well, maybe not in Alien 3), Resurrection gives us the biggest of all - the spaceship the xenomorphs are on ploughs into the Earth itself in an almighty explosion.
The Awkward Moment: Alien: Resurrection repurposed the aim of the whole Alien saga to be Ripley attempting to get back home - ignoring that she already did that at the start of Aliens - but I somehow don't think itll be as rosy as the film paints it. The size of the explosion is ginormous, certainly bigger than what would have killed the dinosaurs; it's enough to certainly kill everyone within thousands of miles and permanently effect the atmosphere.
So even though the original Ripley saved us from Xenos three times and the clone's just stopped them a fourth, odds are the people who she's saved won't be too happy more people were killed by her than the aliens. To be a fly on the wall when she realised.
