Uh-huh. The movie where everyone is wiped out by the alien, and the girl you're talking about is hunted by said alien? That's not immortal, that's the fear and perseverance that makes the movie great!
And you think that the tv show where the girl is literally talking to and controlling the alien after 24 hours, and is also capable of beating every cyborg because she can hack without even physical contact. And the 'super smart' business leader sends ALL of his rare and expensive new inventions into a crashed space ship that has caused the initial collapse of the high rises it collapsed into. And having created these new super humans, he failed to put in any kill-switch or control mechanism. Oh, and let's gloss over the fact that suddenly the special military can't seem to shoot said pet alien in a narrow hallway. I mean, come on, you find better writing on bathroom stalls!
You're right, but media literacy is grossly lacking this day and age. I bet most people like it mostly for the well done styling and graphics.
"If I'm entertained, it wasn't bad!" ok, well I'll go find my keys to jingle...
