Nothing like this! Where did you get this? Alien - happy end. Aliens - happy end. Alien 3 - bad end. I think the definition of "was true to the feel of the series" is infinitely far from reality. And it is an attempt to justify the mess created in Alien 3. Plus, trying to give some ghostly weight to the A3. Plus, distortion of facts about the series. Alien/Aliens - meeting with evil, death and destruction, but victory and life at the end. Alien 3 - meeting with evil, death and destruction at the end. This film is not part of a series - spiritually.

Quote from: Perfect-Organism on Jun 15, 2020, 06:55:23 PMExactly, the ending of Aliens was so positive it practically had a Disney feel to it. It was Alien 3 that took the series into the abysmal darkness that polarized movie goers.

There is a place for dark endings (Alien: Covenant) but do you really think Aliens suffered from a happy ending?I find it funny that people go crazy when they see a happy end in their dark fantasies franchises.

Who is arguing? Not me. But dark =/= dead end. Alien/Aliens also dark, just without, well, dead end (if "happy end" it's a trigger for you).
