let us know why you want or dont want them back

[Dachande]

No, Aliens is the first time they encountered the Alien, its the same issue you would have with Ripley

[Corporal Lewis Hicks]

but wasnt it just that sqaud of marines first encounter? so there mite be marines or other colonist who encounterd it before ripley

[Johnny Handsome]

No, i don't like the Colonial Marines that much.

I think they should go for the more classic Sci-Fi, a movie that lives from it's suspense and Atmosphere, like Alien.

Aliens is a good movie, needless to say that, but i don't like the Starship Troopers vibe of it.

No, they made quite a big point of it being the first discovery of the things in the 1st and second movies.

[SM]

No.  It's been done and been done well.

[Corporal Lewis Hicks]

yeah your right it has been done and been done well but i thought i may as well ask the question to see what people would say

[The Necronoir]

The fact that Burke had to explain the situation with the USCMC working defence contracts for WY suggests that the corps we see in Aliens didn't exist 57 years before, let alone earlier than that.

[SM]

The USCMC was more working for the ECA rather than WY in Aliens.

[Eidotemit]

No with a side of absolutely not.

[Da-Wolf]

I would like to see CM, but them not be the focus of the movie, just as a sort of 'cameo'.

[Eidotemit]

The USCMC was more working for the ECA rather than WY in Aliens.

Which begs the question: Why did the Sulaco's flight recorder transmit back to WY and not to USMC or DoD?


Anyway, I wouldn't like them even in cameo capacity, I'd like to see this film stand solely on its on merit without nods to the other films.

It transmitted back to Network - which I don't think anyone actually controls, but anyone can access, and is - IMO - the 22nd century interstellar equivalent of the internet.

Either way WY made the flight recorder.

Sounds fair

No so fair. Lockheed Martin doesn't get the flight recorder info for an F-22.

[SiL]

It makes sense when you consider the marines were investigating WY property. They'd need the information from the recon team for any reports or claims that would need to be made, such as insurance.
