Would you feel better if Newt and Hicks survived?

[Local Trouble]

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when Randy pitched ACM to Biehn.

[Voodoo Magic]

It probably sounded amazing.

[Local Trouble]

Biehn: "Didn't my character die in Alien 3?"
Randy: "Nevermind about that.  We've got Turk."

[The Old One]

Lmao, pathetic.

[JokersWarPig]

Ya'll keep talking trash about mah boi Turk

Had they have survived I'd have believed the scope of the films would have been wider and we would have probably gotten more action set pieces. 


So I think it really depends on whether you were an Aliens fan or not.

That's the fallout coz of people's perceptions of it all. Alien 3 was an end for Ripley and the rest, it's just the (stupid) opinion that you can't have Alien without Sigourney that prevented a wider scope.

[Local Trouble]

I wonder what's going through Biehn's mind at this point.  First he was hired to voice Hicks in ACM, then he was hired to voice Hicks in the audiobook of Gibson's Alien 3.  Not to mention all the buzz about Blomkamp's project bringing him back.

It must be frustrating to know there's a real demand for Hicks to return, only to see the years go by and nothing come of it.

We have Alien without Sigourney and people moan about that too.

[Local Trouble]

Is that why we got The Endless Adventures of Amanda Ripley?

[SM]

No, we get them because she's a popular character.

Now we do, but the 90's was the time to branch out with that, right after 3. There was a golden opportunity to do something different back then and Rez f**ked it up by being a contrivance to get Ripley back rather than just doing something else with the creatures and setting.

At least Alien 3 left all the worldbuilding intact...then Alien Resurrection flushed it all down the toilet.

I genuinely enjoy the finished product. But as a basic concept, it's lazy and completely unnecessary.

Now you are making me feel sorry for the guy. All that teasing with no payoff can't be good in the long term.

I don't see it. People liked Isolation for the game mechanics not Amanda. You could replace its main character with even Turk and it would still get a thumbs up. From what I remember at first people didn't like the idea of Amanda being on the game but then got over it due to how good the game was.
