Quote from: Number13 on Sep 13, 2019, 03:16:57 AMIt certainly killed the franchise for me and I know that's an unpopular opinion here. Last time I said that, someone said that I have poor taste for disliking any of the first THREE movies. But I love Alien and Aliens, they're my all time favorite movies, and I think Alien3 made AlienS pointless. Every time I watch the beginning, I say "Ripley went through all that for nothing?!" and I don't watch it much. So yeah, Alien and Aliens are flawless in my opinion, and ever since that, the series has gone downhill. I hate Alien3 like poison and I don't watch it, own it, or want it, in fact I wish they made a Double Pack with lots of special features, but you can't get all the good special features without 3 and 4 included. Alien Resurrection was crap, but I think it had "some" okay ideas, not a lot, but I would rather watch Resurrection than 3. I had fun with AVP, but it is heavily flawed and I can see why people hate it. AVPR was poorly done and the characters were very flat, the only good part was the Wolf Predator. I like Prometheus, but has some flaws, and I wish Scott made it a direct prequel to Alien and still make a franchise out of it, but David was the best part. I like Covenant, but again, has some flaws, mostly because Scott was trying to rectify the backlash he had with Prometheus not having Aliens, and again, David was the best part. The problem with the prequels was Scott wanted to focus on the Space Jockeys, and when that tanked he focused on Aliens, I just wish he met somewhere in the middle, and wish he just led it into Alien, tied up loose ends, and still have the story continue from there.But back to my point, yes, I think Alien3 killed the franchise and it went nowhere but downhill from there. And I'm sure a lot of you will tell me I have bad taste or I'm the only one who thinks that or some shit like that, like every time I talk down about Alien3 on this site. So I'm just gonna ignore this topic so you can call me a freak or say no one agrees with me and I won't see it. So go ahead.

All three films in the trilogy have endings that allow them all to stand on their own. Ah, but Alien 3: AC. That dark and gothic masterwork. I do love it so.
