Why Aliens Got It Right—and M3GAN 2.0 Got it Wrong!
119What did Aliens do so right that M3GAN 2.0 completely misunderstood? In this video, I break down the key reasons why James Cameron’s Aliens successfully transitioned from horror to action — and why M3GAN’s sequel may have misread its audience entirely. From studio pressure to tonal misfires, we’re diving deep into how these two franchises evolved... and why only one got it right.
Was M3GAN 2.0 too focused on viral moments and sass? Did Aliens benefit from a smarter, more patient approach? Let’s talk about why one became a genre classic and the other may be stumbling early on.
