Please check. I have watched the film repeatedly. Gorman doesn’t panic. Vasquez panics and opens fire, causing confusion and the squad loses cohesion quickly. Gorman, being inexperienced, is unable to restore control. I have made a simple amendment to reflect this.Kentish 86.3.134.204 ( talk) 21:11, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Isn't there any discussion on why the name Aliens, so similar to Alien, was chosen (pros and cons)? What about other languages? In Polish, both Alien and Aliens render as the same word ("Obcy"), so Aliens had was given a different title, effectively a subtitle ("Obcy: Decydujące Starcie"). I wonder if some other languages had to do something similar? Wikidata suggests this would be the case ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q104814). I think this could merit a section, or a paragraph, if of course reliable sources tackle this. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Since another editor defended the questionable writing and unsourced claims, I'm adding why I changed them below:
About "along with those of Bill Paxton and Jenette Goldstein". Article only states: "Most of the cast was also praised, particularly Biehn, Goldstein, Henriksen, Henn and Reiser". As one can see, no point of highlighting Biehn and Goldstein when there are others mentioned with them.
As for the image: "Sigourney Weaver's performance as Ellen Ripley received critical acclaim (unsourced claim), earning her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Her nomination was considered a milestone since the Academy paid little attention to science fiction films since its inception." This text is mentioned again in Accolades section, where it actually belongs: "Weaver's (pictured in 1989) Academy Award nomination for Best Actress was considered a milestone when the Academy paid little attention to science fiction." The editor insists on writing the same thing over and over with different pictures.
And lastly, "mostly rave reviews" is directly taken from the source, it's a verbatim quote. "generally positive reviews"
is actually an "interpretation"
of it.
