Egg on Sulaco

Bond vs Alien?

However back on to that alien egg scene in alien 3, let's just cut it and the ox out.

They tried that.  Didn't test so good.

The test audiences were wrong. So very wrong.

[Local Trouble]

They showed an eggless version to a test audience? 

[The Old One]

I was unaware of that. But it wouldn't surprise me.

Not really.  The audience was just left asking where the Alien came from.  It was more the people making the movie couldn't work out what they wanted to do.

[The Old One]

Yet they failed to choose the lesser evil.

Partially at that point because the film lacked a Director.

[The Cruentus]

I suppose it depends on how well it is executed, I mean the cold forge is an excellent book, but it doesn't tell you where the Aliens came from. That said, folks were questioning about it.

[SM]

Cold Forge tells you where they come from by saying they don't know.  It's above their paygrade.  It isn't just handwaved.

You don't need to know where they come from for the story to work.  Alien 3, following Aliens, you kinda do otherwise it's cheating.

[Inverse Effect]

Wait... Is it canon that according to the DLC in A:CM that the bodies were swapped? I'd say spoilers.. But depends if the game is canon or not, and due to the age of the game itself? i dunno.... It's a mess... All of it...

[HuDaFuK]

At the time they sold it as official cannon, but it's reception was so miserable they seem to have quietly reneged on that since.

[The Cruentus]

That reminds me HuDa, we might need to discuss what we are going to do with the pages that have A:CM information, such as the Hicks page. If A:CM is no longer canon then we should update those pages to reflect that.

[The Old One]

R.I.P in non-canon Turk, you vapid contrivance.

[Local Trouble]

How can you utter such blasphemy? 

[SM]

A:CM hasn't been canon for years.

[Local Trouble]

Have we reached consensus yet?
