Sigourney Weaver was not a black woman. Why did they say she was a black woman who bred an alien?


As for Predator with dreadlocks, i never thought about him having those till now.. i just saw hair flying all over.

“Comports with the trope” and “riffs on” ?
One was a overgrown hive insect and the other was a human reptile hybrid.
If the author seriously sees a link to black people then the racism exists solely in his own drug addled mind.

Those were not dreadlocks, it was part of the helmet.

the original design for the predator had jean claude van damme in a half-assed poorly made lizard-man costume. the effect was so bad they scrapped the idea after filming began. the character design changed but not the script. if the intent was racial it would have showed up in the initial character design.

Meh
Alien is 41 years old now, and Predator is 34 years old.

I am unconvinced those tropes of the lae-1970s to early-1980s even exist any more.

We might as well be talking about Dracula and Fankenstein; while both are now over 90 years old, they have more staying power.
