| "Considering the will-he-wont-he of whether or not Alien 5 will acknowledge of Alien 3 or Alien Resurrection, the implication that these post Alien 3 (post Resurrection in the case of Rage Wars) could be that Alien 5 will not be a straight retcon as has been theorized." |
I have to admit I am pretty confusted by now wether the new Alien going to be a retcon or not. Excluding Ripley 8 being in the new film but stating on the other side that it won't "undo" the last two films makes me skeptical. There are not that many roads the new film can follow to bring the original Ripley AND Hicks back.
I have'nt read the comics yet, but I liked the last three novels by Titan very much. I hope these upcoming novls and comic books won't contain too many elements that could turn out as "wrong" by the time Blomkamp's movie comes out.
Although the incident of the USS Auriga was mentioned in Seas of Sorrows as "terrorists crashing a ship on earth", I think this could be explained as just random terrorism in future books, rather than a group of pirates and a clone of Ellen Ripley, if that makes sense... (I'm just trying to sort out my own canon, I guess.)
