Quote from: cliffhanger on Mar 28, 2017, 07:35:38 AMthe problem is, Alien3 completely killed and destroyed that. there was so much to go for and all the worst were taken.
They never had to kill the crew. That would have been a base for so much more.
For everyone who is bitter that they killed Hicks and Newt, there's someone who finds the idea of the three of them going around as some kind of Alien ass-kicking family really cringe-worthy.
wanting them to survive in Alien3 does not equal wanting to see them as a Alien asskick family at all.
As i mentioned above, i didn't mention Newt at all except for her survival.
As far as i'm concerned, she should have been taken into temporal custody in a safe haven with her family,
there's a easy (cheap) solution to have her have uncles and aunts and nephews and that they would gladly take care of her,
with Ripley promising she'll come back soon, a promise she can't keep.....
Ripley not being able to allow a space station with many families to get the same aftermath as Hadley's hope colony to happen,
and Hicks backing her up in her plan to infiltrate the compound and put an end to what's going on there, and mayhem already haven
started when they arrive.
As far as i'm concerned, either Hicks or Ripley could have died during those events. Hicks sacrificing himself to save Ripley for example.
Or at the end Ripley gets facehugged and Hicks promises he'll protect her and cryo her in and will take her to scientists he knows that
can help her, so she doesn't kill herself. It would actually make Resurection still possible somehow.
Thing is, Ripley already turned into the 'space alien warrior' and we have had zero problems with Weavers portrayal in every single outing,
so i dont think that would be a huge issue. Hicks grew into a heroic character during the events of Aliens and simply got hurt, he could
put a great performance in being a slightly handicapped hero.
Ripley was hardly badass in Alien, she became a absolute badass in Aliens. Hicks was a great marine in Aliens, he could have become
absolutely legend in Alien3.
again, there were so many possibilities to go with Alien3. Unfortunately, Hicks and Ripley are too old now to continue where they left off and turn Alien3 in a nightmare instead of canon.
