Favorite Marine

[Hudson]

Just wondering who everyone's favorite Colonial Marine from Aliens is.  They're all pretty cool, but for whatever reason, who's your favorite?  Think I'm gonna have to go with *drumroll* Hudson.

Wierzbowski is correct surname. Very difficult Polish surname, is right? 

[maledoro]

Not as difficult as Russian surnames. At least the Polish use the Roman alphabet. Besides, I live near a large Polish-American population.

imho, celtic, baltic (latvian, lithuanian) and finnish languages are more difficult than slavic and german with roman... 

hmm... I like Wierzbowski! This marine was the Slavic human!!!!

Ha, I knew Hicks and Hudson would be high, funny that Wierz is in 2nd.

Well, dammit, look at it from my perspective: when the marines were told to split into groups of two, and since there was an odd number of them, 'Ski went alone. That takes guts.

He never complained or cursed.

He has a website dedicated to him. Said website has (or used to have) "Ask Wierzbowski", a feature where he would offer advice to all kinds of issues.

'Ski was the Ultimate Badass.

I think I found that website.

In this promotional photo, we get a further peek into Wierzbowski's relationship with the other marines. Here, 'Bowski, Hudson and Drake look the best of friends, ready to take on all odds — of course, in hindsight, we all know what the odds were...

FIRST TO DIE ON LV426:

    * Wierzbowski 3:1
    * Drake 12:1
    * Hudson 20:1

[Hudson]

Damn. Spelling error.  I can't go back and edit it.

Definitely Hudson, he's the comic relief of the group

I'm a fan of Apone.  The ol' school attitude, his smart ass remarks, he was kick-ass!  Reminds me of my Gunny back in the day.

"All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed?"

"You heard the man, assholes and elbows!!"

I honestly have no idea what that means but it's funny.

[Master Chief]

haha...It means he wanted his troops at attention standing side by side.

My favorite marines are Hicks, Hudson and Apone.

Wierzbowski is correct surname. Very difficult Polish surname, is right? 

The first time I heard Hicks screaming it out in the Hive I thought he was saying "Where's Bowski?!" lol
