Why Pit 'Alien' Against 'Aliens' When Ripley is Great in Both?
Ripley is a great character because she serves two distinct, but rewarding, purposes in the original film and the sequel.

Dino Labriola runs the small town of Montemilone in the deep south. He was elected the first Communist mayor. Now he faces the problems of a town dying on its feet. There are no jobs, the young emigrate, the old have given up hope and government aid often goes astray.

It's a new threat to the town and to Dino's position as mayor.
