    Nah. It's just a very nasty alien. Nothing metaphorical about it.

      No. Even someone who believes the moon landing was a hoax would find this theory ridiculous.
      The train is coming with shiny cars, comfy seats, and wheels of stars. Hush, little ones, have no fear; the man in the moon is the engineer.

        It's a metaphor for rape.

          Alien came out right before Aids was even really known about ,so I very much doubt it.

              Oh god please, it’s already enough with the rape undertones.

                Yeah I know. The movie studio needed an idea for an alien so they borrowed a version of the creature from that artist's drawings.

                  When Alien became a hit, There was widespread speculation that the xenomorph was a metaphor for cancer. In 1979, AIDS was not known about by the general population. AIDS became known around 1982-83.

                    No, it’s a metaphor for a rapist and other sex diseases though
