Ahem "intentional-bad-cap loL" And Hicks, Newt and Ripley won't disappear from your Aliens disc.
"So many Alien 3 fans are incredibly condescending,"
I am not an Alien 3 fan (Aliens unsurprisingly is my favorite) and those that are actually defending A3 are simply being objective, and not being condescending,
Retconning for the sake of three characters is stupid, especially since its done for sentimental fans who can't let go. Resurrection is an example of holding on to the past.
Am I happy they are dead? No. Especially the slap in the face dick move that was the way it was done.
Am I happy that Resurrection is where the alien side franchise ended? Absolutely not and its this why I am half and half when it comes the retcon, to restore the original serious tone.
"Windebieste thinks that dark and depressing means thoughtful and cerebral and challenging"
And I suppose laid back marines shooting from the hip is thoughtful and cerebral?
Hudson, Hicks and all were awesome but I don't want a rehash which is why Aliens is good, because it is different from the first film.
If you want another Aliens, then play the games, they nearly always emulate the second movie. Alien Isolation was brilliant for being the exception.
