- Half-Aliens sequel, half-standalone story.
- Ripley and Hicks are alive with no explanation, they're simply alive, Hicks scarred, probably Newt could be around, they're investigating the xenos.
- As for he continuity, I'd like it to remain kind of ambiguous, just like X-Men Days of Future which is a movie you can actually start watching no matter if you only saw the first two X-Men movies (Xavier is alive, Magneto is there, Wolverine has his adamtium claws and everything), you don't even have to have watched X-Men First Class.
- No mentions of Alien 3 or Resurrection, kind of mentions of Aliens or at least leave it for granted (because of Hicks's scars and stuff).
- In other words, simply a sort of reboot/alternate universe, just no worries about continuity as long as Ripley, Hicks, Newt and Bishop are there alive and well.
- Just sit down and enjoy the freaking movie.
- Haters gonna hate.
Oh, and I'd also like to see finally executed on big screen the idea of the xenos taking over Earth (AVPR doesn't count).
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Feb 19, 2015, 12:50:49 PMI'd personally like it to leave all that behind. I want a character study of Ripley 8 and her connection to the Aliens.
IMO, half-alien Ripley 8 was a bad idea, I can compare her to psychic Alice from Resident Evil, simply a stupid idea made to make her more of an action heroine and inject more action to a braindead sequel.
You know, I'm a huge Alien Resurrection lover, I think it's a terrific ride, but it just shouldn't have been an official canonic sequel, it felt much more like a comic book.
