How I'd do Alien V

[BlueMarsalis79]

I wondered if you meant the Alien³ videogames, which themselves are pretty good just not as good as the film of course.

Resident Evil took the whole "the company" narrative, and gave it a Palpatine type figure where it unsurprisingly turns out they are behind everything, an idea you have basically proposed, I absolutely loathe it in relation to Alien and the main themes of capitalist bureaucratic apathy in Alien.

And that without exception has been the core idea behind every alternate Aliens sequel.

In my opinion Alien's above this kind of nonsense, that kind of narrative cliché and retconning certain entries within the franchise, that's how we end up with three Alien films inventively named "Alien" just like Halloween.

But yeah Alien Isolation's the best first person Resident Evil, and Dead Space's the best third person Resident Evil.

I'm reading the outline and I don't see where they say there's a single big bad ad the company.

[BlueMarsalis79]

You are technically right, I read about the inclusion of the names Ripley and Newt then, Hicks as a human antagonist and my brain went on battery saver mode.

Which would just honestly be doing a similar thing for the military industrial complex.

The idea of a character going from good to bad because of their experiences has already sort of been done in Alien. If not that well. The prequels.

The rest still remains very Resident Evil like in proposal.

Anyone who cares about other alien media know that hicks actually survived aliens, see colonial marines for details, and that it was a nobody who died with newt.

Not sure if fans see that as canon but it means michael bien could return. It's also possible that Ripley dreamed the events of alien 3 and resurrection while in hypersleep but I don't like the idea of doing a dallas on it and say it was all a dream.

But it would be a way around it.

As a side note I love alien 3 and liked resurrection.

No one regards ACM as canon but that doesn't mean they can't bring Biehn back as Hicks.

And Turk was not a nobody.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Biehn will be back...

...as the voice of some new character in the animated Predator film.

[Billiken]

I want to see a colony with heaps of people have an alien outbreak. I don't want to see the after effects but the actual attack.

[SM]

Same-same.



But they'd have the advantage of not having a Predator riling up Aliens in their nest and destroying the power supply.

I agree with you so much except for the last line.

Isolation having one or two bad ideas doesn't mean it suddenly turns into Resident Evil.

[BlueMarsalis79]

I meant the genre, not the narrative content, which both Isolation and Dead Space also surpass.
