What do you want to see in Romulus?

[BigDaddyJohn]

Yes please, and interesting characters and relationships, impactful deaths.

Going back to the original timeline era and avoiding David content will improve how people feel about things overall I think. Going back to basics.

Problem with Alien 3 is that it should have been Alien 4 

[SiL]

The problem is Alien 4 decided to keep Ripley and abandoned the timeline people were invested in.

[Local Trouble]

At least Alien 3 left all the worldbuilding intact...then Alien Resurrection flushed it all down the toilet.

When I finally saw the deleted scene where the scientist explains to Ripley that Weyland-Yutani was bought out by Walmart, I immediately dismissed the film as some weird fever dream of Morse after the events of Alien 3.

Now years later I'm starting to warm up to Resurrection again and I am head-canoning that the scientist was just f**king with Ripley and spewing non-sense.

That Walmart line was horrible.

[Eal]

That Walmart line was horrible.

It certainly felt like a throwaway Whedonism.

The Walmart line is from the extended cut it think. I don't have any problem with that

Alien 3 should have been Hicks, then A3 (actually A4) could have finished it nicely.

[SiL]

I like Beihn but I feel Hicks was done as a character by the end of Aliens. He didn't even survive the treatment and he's functionally dead in the last act anyway.

[Highland]

Could have killed him/made him dead, but not Newt, at least not yet. Ripley literally goes from one movie to the next with no break. I like A3, just don't like that it comes after 2, but thats a lot of folk.

[Slutty Badger]

Well, there's always the prequels - and Romulus! - if you feel that the main films are too Ripley-heavy.

[BigDaddyJohn]

Hopefully the main in Romulus steps away just enough from Ripley to be her own thing.
