But A3 & Isolation weren't Alien dialled up to 11, they were respectful and artful expansions on the original.
ACM is anything but.
In Aliens 1986 the whole point is to turn Hudson's perspective on it's head; not to reinforce it.
ACM completely misinterprets everything Aliens is, as many of it's fans do.
Oh I understand perfectly well that Cameron's concept in A2 was to contrast and illustrate the tragic shortcomings of technologically superior arrogance when faced with low-fi resilience (i.e. the Vietnam war). Conceptually identical to his Avatar films.
I understand that.
But in my opinion ACM just chose to not focus too heavily on that contrast and simply created a gung-ho marine shooter. It showed us that futuristic, way overconfident, boastful and arrogant USMC world Hudson came from. Which I appreciate.
I mean this is straight out of a Hudson fantasy
