Egg on Sulaco

[Kradan]

I don't care how much sense it makes within universe - I just wanna see it. If they had stuck to the idea instead of secondguessing Ward I'm sure he would've figured the logistics.

Though I must agree - script didn't do the idea justice

[Pvt_Frost]

And as for the "wooden planet" it is a superb idea.

It's an incredibly silly idea that doesn't make a lick of sense.

Add to which, beyond the visually arresting setting and a couple of cool Alien set pieces, that script was pretty pants.

Pretty much.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Again I never mentioned the script itself.

[Local Trouble]

For a franchise that has such a feel of reality in the first two movies, Ward's setting was incongruously bizarre to say the least.

Yes.

[BlueMarsalis79]

I don't think it's right for the finale to the Alien Trilogy but I do think it's an idea worth developing in it's own right elsewhere.

[Kradan]

Interestingly enough, ending of Ward's draft doesn't imply solid finale of the story 'cause Ripley is still alive and there's fate of Earth left unsolved

Yes.

Not in the world where Covenant exists

[HuDaFuK]

Covenant still feels far more believable than a bunch of monks flying through space on a wooden ball.

[Local Trouble]

Yes.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Not a fan of space stations?

[Drukathi]

Every idea will find its fans in any case. How about a colony built of toilet paper? Or even better - who needs a wooden planet? How about a planet-sized space tree? And let's call it Yggdrasil! Perhaps the engineers are just space elves who live on this tree.  The Black Goo - the sap of the tree. Aliens are just ants. It is possible that the tachyon vibrations of the tree can grow alien eggs in random places. That would perfectly explain the egg on Sulaco. Because we have already gone off topic.

P.S. On serious note - how about a colony where people live in hobbit-holes like hobbits?

You were trying to be stupid but this is some dank shit.

[Local Trouble]

So the Engineers are Eldar?

[Immortan Jonesy]

Xenoelves, hive tree, dank shit?! Yuk! I definitely don't like where this is headed...

So the Engineers are Eldar?

Nah, Engies are cooler than Eldar.
