HAL was a simple pawn - you want some evil - look at MOTHER from ALIEN....
nah. that's pure instinct. you might as well call a queen termite evil (that is all that Alien mother is, and ever will be--queen termite).
seriously--Cruella is far more evil than what the world of "horror" can conjure.
Evil is about choice. it's about first denying the general tenets of death vs life, right vs wrong, then
choosing that your own path, despite the cohesive one, is the only way out.
Mother Alien protects her brood. that's all that she knows to do. just like mother bear. or mother termite.
You want evil in the Alien franchise? Paul Riser. that's it. It gets no more evil than that. Greed over moral conviction. Fucker could have survived, easily, by choosing to help the explorers; or, at the very least, not let the baby alien spawner loose to impregnate Ridley (or the kid--it didn't matter), his motivation was elsewhere. nah, it wasn't even
survival for him (this is all that mother ALien thinks about), it was greed. it was reputation.
that, my friend, is fucking evil.
Aliens is bad guy vs good guy. Alien is good vs evil. there is no evil in Aliens. none. not at all.
for fucks sake, I don't think half of you people even understand what
Evil means...
look at my avatar.
100x more evil than Mother Alien. no contest.
