Dillon pretty clearly demonstrated in the movie that he was not only no longer a rapist, he actually saved her from being gang raped by men that he considered his brothers.
After that he demonstrated that he was no longer a murderer when he couldn't bring himself to kill her, despite his earlier assurance that he was up to it. Hell, he wouldn't even let her die in the mold.
In short, if you take away his "murderer and rapist of women" line, you grossly undermine the impact of what he does later in the film.

To put it constructively, the fact humanity is saved by the worst of humanity is an important aspect of the story, thematically and narratively. Dillon embodies that. Sanitising it robs the film of depth and Dillon of character.

I have linked him this thread, so if anyone wants to put their perspective into words eloquently do it now.
Remember a human being has spent three years on this bloody thing.

Xenomorph is also a generic term. It doesn't actually specify the Alien anymore than using a capital A does.

The problem is Alien 4 decided to keep Ripley and abandoned the timeline people were invested in.

Is it better than the classic design? No. But I didn't have a problem with it for some reason. He's a savage bastard of a Predator and the design seems to fit with his behaviour.

Someone should write a strongly-worded letter to the guy making this thing.

Quote from: BigDaddyJohn on Yesterday at 08:07:20 PMBackburster shouldn't have been showed in a trailer, that was something new and nasty that I would have prefered discovering in theaters.
Even worse - they showed the whole sequence. Insane marketing choice. Imagine if in 79 they just released the chestburster scene or the Dallas vent scene weeks before the movie came out.

What are these baby mode changes... hype went from 100 to 0 real quick. What a waste of time.
Wiping away a criminal record just because you like a dude is the most smooth brained baby's first movie shit. I don't think an alright chill dude would willingly banish himself to a cold rock at the edge of space.... It's literally the whole point of the character that you like him IN SPITE of what he was. THATS THE POWER OF MOVIES AND GOOD STORYTELLING
