Aliens (1986)

Aliens does not contain any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative is centered on action, survival, and the maternal bond between Ripley and Newt, without any explicit exploration or depiction of queer identities or relationships.

The film features prominent female characters, Ellen Ripley and Vasquez, who engage in combat. However, their victories are achieved against alien creatures, primarily through the use of firearms and advanced technology, not through direct physical combat against male human opponents.

Aliens (1986) is a direct sequel to Alien (1979). All returning characters, such as Ellen Ripley, maintain their established gender. New characters introduced in the film do not have a prior canonical gender to swap from. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.

All primary characters in 'Aliens' are either new creations whose race was not previously established, or returning characters whose race remains consistent with their prior portrayal in 'Alien' (1979). No established characters underwent a race change.
