Agreed. Like those who moan whenever people ask if the game is woke.
Sarah Connor beat the Terminator.
I guess those movies were woke too huh?
Sarah Connor spends the first film as a damsel in distress and survives only because of a hardened rebel badass arriving to save her and then in the second film she's somehow a combat badass despite spending years in an asylum doing nothing but squats, situps and pullups, and then was saved by a Terminator at least twice.
Beating a villain doesn't matter. Signaling a message is what matter. Did Ripley or Sahar wandered around challenging or belittling others around them? No. They are irrelevant to woke topic.
This game is not woke for the same reasons.
Even more, they decided to have a female protagonist just to create more tension and kind of a twist since the audience wouldn't expect a woman to be the hero and last/only survivor. In fact it was no feminist choice at all.
saw a whole documentary about this ... and no ripley was NOT just playing a man's role the whole alien movie there were re-writes to make the character more feminine plus Sigorney weaver's own input as a woman. whole scenes in the movie were also added like the robot attacking her. to say she was bassically acting like a male the whole movie is an insult to the writers and to Weaver herself. the male cahraacter they wrote for originally would have had a completely different characterization than what ripley had. it was not the case of just sloting a woman into a male character role as you suggest.
