The design, the dedicated fanbase, the entertainment, just a great franchise. I love the Alien franchise. Have ever since I watched the first movie.

The whole design of the alien and the life cycle pulled me in right away. it was undeniably the coolest thing i have ever seen in a horror/sci fi film. it's one of those things where like, you have nightmares as a kid because of them but you can't stop watching them because they are so darn fascinating.

what got me into the franchise was when i read the first AvP comic when i was 14 that sucked me into right away. :laugh:

First off, I was raised in Sci-Fi conventions and Aliens, so Aliens is a haunting part of my childhood.  Then, while I didn't see the entirety of the Predator movies as a child, I knew of them and the toys, I think I might have owned before- I think it was Shaman/Hippie.  Then years after not seeing much from either of the franchise, AvP brought me back for awhile, but I didn't become much of a fan.  Then sometime this year, it just snapped for no reason, I got into the whole Predator and some Alien fandom.  I think the reason I drew back to the Alien/Predator thing was because I'm reliving the monsters that haunted my childhood.

The first Alien movie i ever saw was Alien3. I became in love with the whole visual style of the movie. And ofcourse the Xenomorph design itself. Also the soundtrack is just perfect. Later i started watching the other alien movies and i just love everything about the movies. Especcialy the first 3. I do still like the 4th one tbh unlike many others. I think the story was quite interesting and the practical effects where well done. Also loved how they reintroduced some of the sexual aspects of it. I started watching Predator movies after i first saw AvP in the Theater. I like the movie but the original 2 Predator movies are so much better. Now i've seen the movies countless times and i even love them more 8)

It's strange to see that Alien 3 got you into the series. Most people tend to dislike Alien 3.

Most people tend to dislike it because they've seen Aliens and they didn't like that HIX 'N NOOT WERE KILD. Without that factor...

True, I suppose if you hadn't seen the first two films you would not know just how disappointing the third one was.

The one thing i really love about Alien 3 is the fact that nobody is safe. I don't really know if i would have liked it if Hicks and Newt did survive (Don't get me wrong i absolutely love te characters). But i love to see things happen differently then most hollywood pictures.

Well, yeah. It was needed for the film granted but I'm the guy who thinks that there wasn't much point in making A3 to begin with.

Wasn't much point in making Aliens, either.

Aliens logically flowed from Alien though. Alien 3 was only possible by way of a completely "out-of-left-field" angle.

That reminds me of a time back in grade five I wrote a story about aliens and I had to read it in front of the class. I attempted to make it look like a chestburster was coming out of me.
