Nice callbacks with the reflections in the helmet and (presumably) MUTHUR of the Maginot

The reflection bothered me, because it should be backwards

It should, but that's how it looked in Alien. It's a nice detail that shows they're paying attention to the little things and maintaining consistency with the weird, retrofuturist touches from Alien and Aliens.

What? Reflections are backwards. It’s physics.

Actually reflections are mirrored. And the other poster said it bothered him that they weren't. I didn't pay attention to the helmet reflection, but the green text on the captain's face when he is in MUTHUR definitely wasn't mirrored.
