Alien 3 had a master director, but he was treated by Brandywine and Fox as if he didn't know what he was doing. (James Cameron faced similar problems while working on Aliens, but the disrespect was coming from the crew, not the producers and the studio, so the power dynamics were different.) And I'd argue that killing off Geena Davis's character at the beginning of The Fly II is probably worse than killing off Hicks and Newt.

They chose to kill off Hicks and Newt because they wanted Ripley to feel a hatred towards the Xenomorph, isolating her from people she cared about. It always seems to take something away from her, such as her friends from The Nostromo, and now Hicks and Newt.

His voice is very soothing. He does need some input on word pronunciation, however. In other videos he pronounces "chitinous" as Kite-inus. The "chit" is pronounced EXACTLY as it's spelled. Another word he cannot seem to get right is "carbine", as in to do with guns. He pronounces it "car-been", whereas, once again, it is pronounced EXACTLY as it is spelled; "car-byne".

Personally I think that you can retcon Hicks exactly for similar reasons: they get caught by the company or someone else and they wake up Hicks and use Ripley and Newt as hostages. It makes sense to wake him up since he is a marine and Ripley and Newt are just civilians. And civilians can stay asleep for as long as they need to be. The story needs to he a little more complicated than just this though... you need them at least an hour in the story and they should be ejected when Hicks isn't aware of it. He doesn't have to know what happens to Ripley.

Always My assumption

I honestly don't mind this game all that much. The story of Colonial Marines, along with some of the characters and the dialog is good, the game play, graphics and execution, not so much. It's DLC Stasis Interrupted I thought was much better. As for the retcon, as campy as it is, without pulling off what they did in the comics by totally ignoring Alien 3, I thought it wasn't half bad. I mean they wanted to bring back a beloved character who didn't deserve to go out like he did, and their hand's were tied narratively so there's only so many ways it could be done. I like it just because it gave us back my favorite character in the franchise. Now I would like to see more of his story, Hicks and his marine buddies waging a guerilla war against the Company and stopping at nothing to derail their xeno research. Would make for a great comic or follow up game.

I wholeheartedly disagree about accepting the Alien 3 deaths of those characters as canon. To me, I disregard that film as canon just as much as you disregard Colonial Marines. Alien 3 is like an alternate reality as you say Marines is. To this day, the level of disrespect to the fans of Aliens is felt immensely. After watching interviews of Michael Biehn during that time era, hearing his point of view about being blown off and not really even acknowledged or even asked about reprising his role, then finding out from a friend that the studios and Fincher went ahead behind his back and attempted to use his face mold for the corpse in the pod without his permission. That makes me hate the movie even more and I’m glad that Michael gave a big fuck you to all of them and denying them the opportunity to use the mold. Then taking it a step further, forcing them to pay up big money to use only that crappy image beside the body. We should have had an Aliens sequel, not Alien 3 and not Colonial Marines. But it’s too late for that, no matter what they try to do. It’s game over, man.

If they killed Hicks during the actual film and not the opening scene, I may have enjoyed it more. You can’t just have characters survive all the bullshit in the previous movies and have them die in a pod crash. That comes across as lazy storytelling in my opinion. Just for the sake of gettting Ripley in a spot where she’s all alone. You have to earn it before you can kill main characters like that.

The same can be said with the level of disrespect Aliens did to Alien. Reducing the completely alien beast to nothing but a large ant that can be smushed by guns. Changing the genre to action. Cameron btw wanted to do Starship Troopers, but used the wrong franchise. Knowing that they wouldn’t have the balls to kill a child character, so you knew that her and Weaver would survive the film. The cringe hollywood happy ever after ending in a bleak universe centred around a unknown being who’s themes consist of rape, murder and parasitisation. But ALIEN³ is the one that screwed it all up? Like it or not, ³ is canon, it ended Ripley’s story in line with the first films uncaring bittersweet universe- it’s a truer sequel to Alien, but a lesser film compared to Alien and Aliens.

Now we can have some answers to the mess ups that the studio and Weaver had on the film!

I always liked the idea of A "reboot" movie starting with an Adult Newt waking up to Ripley being alive and saying she had bad dreams about her dying from "the monsters".

When Alien 3 came out, I remember liking it. The lose of Hicks and Newt was just par for the course, as Ripley had already lost so much. Sometimes life doesn't give you a happy ending. It also made her sacrifice more profound. She had given her all to ensure the company did not get their hands on the xenomorph. Her final act was to ensure all she had went through, all the lives lost, was worth it. She knew the greed and mismanagement of Weyland would lead to an alien outbreak on earth. If she allowed that, Hicks, Newt, the marines, the colonists, her original crew, would have all died for nothing. It was only later that I learned of all the problems in production, staff changes and script re-writes. It's not a perfect movie, but I think it brought good closure to the series (at the time) because of the above statement.

Alien 3 is a great film and has a very emotional and epic ending for Ripley's story. Sad but still great

Regarding the differences in the facehuggers, I think A:CM was going by the theatrical version where the opening scene shows what looks like a normal facehugger.

My theory as to how the facehuggers got on the Sulaco - as explained by Bishop in Aliens, it takes about 50 minutes flight time to get from LV-426 to the Sulaco. (About 50 minutes flight time for him to remote pilot the dropship from the Sulaco to the surface, so presume the same amount of time to return to the Sulaco.) The Queen was set up to churn out eggs as fast as possible, with the attached tubing seen offering a way for her to place eggs further away from her without her having to move, at a minimum. Convenient, not necessary. In the 50 minutes of flight time, the Queen continues to lay eggs that she attaches to the dropship. These eggs are unseen by Ripley & Bishop, just as the Queen was unseen until she moved and skewered Bishop. At least 3 eggs are laid - one that attaches to Ripley's face, one that is on the cryo tubes as they enter the EEV (and this is the one that hatches down on Fury), and one that attempts to penetrate Newt's or Hicks' tube, and injures itself in the process, dripping acid and causing the fire. The injured facehugger is not the one on Ripley, or she would have acid burns. Depending on how fast the Queen was laying eggs, there is/was the potential of additional eggs attached to the dropship, which could have been recovered by the W-Y Company.

I wanted them to see them get the happy ending they deserved after Aliens ( granted with a lot PTSD): Hicks gets a big promotion, marries Ripley and they both adopt Newt. They deserved that much.

You guys seem like you completely forget the incredibly horrible launch the game had with endless bugs (the Aliens half the time didn't even move), the really bad facial animations, most of the guns don't even sound right, the gameplay is a straightforward shooter on rails with little interaction or interesting mechanics other than look at motion tracker and pull trigger with the only mildly interesting things being the nostalgic music and set pieces throughout the game. Which that last thing by itself isn't necessarily bad, but everything else on top of that made it so shallow and uninteresting for me. And "only true fans really like it" is such a bullshit defense lol. If it didn't have the Alien name it wouldn't be a game even worth remembering let alone talking about. It's just an incredibly poorly received game that admittedly got some of it's footing back after a massive amount of bugfixes and fan patches)

"Maybe we got them demoralised" must be my all time favourite movie quote.

I was one of the many suckered into the hype of Colonial Marines, pre-ordering the £100 collector's edition.... I can't remember the last time I've felt so let down by anything in my life...

I just want to see Alien 5. I want to see an alive Queen facehugger, I want to see a baby Queen, and lots of Aliens

I actually really like Alien 3, so much so that it's my second favorite after Aliens. I loved the Newt and, especially, Hicks characters, but I get why they didn't fit them into the 3rd story. Ripley needed to be isolated again in order for the story to proceed the way they wanted it to. However, the Assembly Cut is the far better version of the story. And I wish they could have done slightly more along the lines of what they'd fully wanted to do. My only dislike regarding 3 is the digital effects of the xenomorph. I wish it could have been practical all the way through.

I love Alien 3. I thought it was atmospheric and pretty well written. Having Ripley die at the end was the best and most true ending to Ripley as a character (in the film universe).

I really liked alien resurrection.. but I never see it play on cable TV..☹️ alien, aliens and alien 3 play every now and then. Love your channel ❤️

It's good movie I've watched it many times. It was just a disappointing end to the trilogy. If it had of been a lone without Ripley it would have been better and done less damage.

I love Aliens Colonial Marines. I'm not saying it's a great game but it's the first game I bought and played after my heart transplant. I enjoy the story overall. The A.I. is horrible but I always play co op with my son and he makes a great xenomorph killing companion.

Guess it depends. As a fan of FPS games, A:CM was a fun if mindless distraction that I enjoyed, especially as a fan of Hicks. I love the retcon and it's not truly any dumber than the whole "dream" angle or "clone" scenario that Resurrection used to restore Ripley. Cause the truth is...that wasn't Michael Biehn in that pod. Nor was it Carrie Henn. So if someone wants to come along and contrive a retcon that allows both to survive saying it wasn't them in the cryotubes...so be it. And if we're being honest...Amanda Ripley died off screen an elderly-woman and was cremated and interred at Westlake Repository, Little Chute, Wisconsin. So if that game-based retcon can be official and canon...so can Colonial Marines...

I actually like Alien 3 for what it is and watch it to this day. But when you compare it to the majesty of Alien and Aliens it doesn't stand a chance.

Aliens is a great movie. It's a shame they never made a sequel.

the uncut version was very good.. way better than the theatrical release

I liked the game. I’ve been a hardcore fan since 91 so I had a blast with the all the new ideas like Hicks being alive but I was let down with how the smartgun wasn’t more available

The Story in Aliens: Colonial Marines was alright, it's just the Visuals and Gameplay that were utter trash.

We all know by now.. It was the studios interference that left us with an "ok" alien movie.

I’ve done this schpeel often, and honestly, it’s exhausting, so I’ll keep it concise this time. The key to understanding why the folks that keep laser-focusing on specific characters are wrong, is the difference between concept and premise. The concept is what makes the Alien franchise so fascinating. It’s herein that we find the big questions about- and critiques of humanity and corporatism, the biblical references and the moral complexities. When we talk about specific characters, in order to make their stories work, they must overcome a specific external conflict; the premise. It’s those conflicts that characters are pivotal to, but the broader concepts works without them because they are not driven by those characters. When the hook of your story is driven by specific characters, the impact of the concept is diluted and their conflicts become more internal over time, which in turn dilutes their external obstacles. This is absolutely detrimental to good storytelling and exactly why Star Wars and superhero movies, which revolve around specific characters, often don’t work. Discourse revolving around whether to bring back Ripley, which by the way, Sigourney Weaver has no interest in, or other characters like Hicks or Shaw, doesn’t help an already obtuse problem for the franchise. Personally, I’m far more interested in where Ridley Scott would take things without the constraints of uncritical analysis by internet dissenters and the infuriating disconnect of greedy movie studios.

I believe after his success in stealing the DNA changing black-goo from District9, Ridley's next plan was to give all the characters black unobtanium suits, that sorta look like panthers, and they would fight over an "eternity glove" with five little colored gems in it. (I'm never going to get over Ridley looting Blomkamps ideas.)

Ridley only did the first alien movie then the prequels... what are you talking about

I only know of ACM through your channel yet watched other bits to get the story right in my head, if it's canon it's canon. Now i like how they connected the story, perhaps they could have done it better but that's the way it is. Hicks is still alive, they could make him be a soldier and go out as one. Whatever happens they can continue it leaves a connection. One thing that is important if they will continue from there on is that they get someone who WILL make a movie as good if not better then the first 2. Hicks gets caught taken back to earth, they have samples of the aliens, ripley, etc perhaps even newt and the scraps of bishop. Breaking free again of his capture with samples one could easily clone newt if they can clone a queen and ripley 200 years later. On the run recovering data from bishop in another model cloning newt, wayland yutani infect earth with the samples be it on purpose or accidental. Newt reborn and hicks go on a all out war in memory of Ripleys legacy trying to recover the dna of ripley and perhaps with it all connecting it with Blade Runner (which has extensive cloning knowledge), avp, predators and the new David science experiments as well as going into the synthetic issues mentioned in alien 4. This could be very well connected and intertwined just don't add the Marvel bs and to make it worth their while even in multiple movies. Make it dark and scary give us the war of aliens and humans and do not make the characters flop like in SW, give em what they deserve !

Ive been an avid Alien fan for over 35 years and while Alien and Aliens were both masterpieces, the 3rd and 4th ones were always troubling. I preferred to think of 3 and 4 as dream sequences because they just did not get it right with those two. When Aliens: Colonial Marines offered to fix so much of the problems of Alien 3's sloppy writing I found it refreshing. Sure the game and story have some issues and is by no means perfect, but it is a rather enjoyable playthrough and experience for fans. However, weather you like it or hate it, it is established cannon by 20th Century Fox. Thank you for the video, I enjoy watching your channel. You have a lot of Alien Universe knowledge and I enjoy your uploads.

Sad part is it still had one huge glaring plot hole in how things occured. The Suloco was a marine assault ship, the escape pod was from a military warship. Logically a military escape pod would have weapons aboard, you know, incase it landed in hostile territory. Hell for an escape pod which was designed to travel to a planet, enter the atmosphere, land, and support its occupants until rescue, it was badly designed as a whole. First it killed one of its occupants by stabbing them with a structural support, drowned a second (pods supposed to be sealed, tubes supposed to be sealed too, both failed) and managed to somehow smash a third to pieces, who shouldn't have even been aboard the escape pod as it only carried 3 cryo tubes anyway.

Well this is annoying: I played Colonial Marines (hell, I pre-ordered the limited edition with powerloader statuette... which was actually the best part of the bundle...) and was very disappointed at the game. But the ultimate kicker was that the original version just ended with the reveal that Hicks was still alive. Because the bloody game wasn't finished. I didn't realise that they later finished it in DLC as I had no idea the Stasis Interrupted DLC existed.

Half the fans are attached to those characters. Unfortunately, Alien 3 severely damaged the franchise. It will never recover. It’s a pity. Aliens was a blockbuster hit when it came out. The series would have gone out on such a high note had Twentieth-Century Fox stopped making sequels at that point. But, it’s the nature of the industry to make sequels until the franchise collapses. A pity. That being said though, I’d love to see how David’s story plays out. I suspect that we would see an interesting retelling of the old Frankenstein story, with David’s creations turning against him.

What is the music used in Alien Theory's videos? The one at around 1:50. It's beautifully haunting.

Hicks is alive and aliens colonial marines is a cannon because if you recall and if you remember alien 4, Ripley the clone get information about how The company Wayland Yutani gets shut down because that movie takes place 200 years after the events of Alien3. And he duck says that a bunch of colonial marines shut them down so I would consider that enough information to consider at Cannon so yes Hicks is alive. And if you look at that guy Who died in the cryo-tube in Alien3 you can see the white bandage on his stomach just like in the game if you look really closely in enough details you can see the similarities.

Hicks and Stone may break my bones but Turk will never harm me. Cause he's dead.

The game was marred by a very terrible bug that should have been fixed with simple troubleshooting. On top of it Randy Pitchford really pissed off players. Gearbox’s name was on the cover but they subbed out the development to 3rd parties. So what they initially presented to gamers was NOT what they ended up getting. Many people were HIGHLY disappointed by the games state at release, and to make it worse that game shattering bug was a simple spelling error that when fixed, made the game far more interesting and fun to play.

Earth hive should have been alien 3.

If they would have took the Colonial Marines and made a bunch of movies not just limited to aliens and predator, they could have had a huge cinematic universe.

“Aliens” is a seamless and story-enhancing sequel-five stars, not for its quality of production over the first, which is equal, but for its expanded scope, on all levels, especially with the added footage that was edited out of the theatrical release, which makes it the best of them all, and for me, it is where the “Alien” story ends. “Alien” - “Aliens,” they're both five-star movies, and they’re both entirely different kinds of drama, one being an extension of the other. “Aliens” isn’t a scare-fest that depends almost entirely upon the unknown and a build wrapped in suspense, like “Alien,” the first movie. It pivots around solid action with great characters, pretty well fleshed out, and it is also well-written with sharp dialogue, but it’s the kind of flick with a logical and broadening extension of the story-line that you can watch again and again and again and... Now, if by some slim chance there's someone reading this who hasn't seen “Aliens,” some spoilers follow: “Aliens” opened up so many avenues for pushing the story and characters at its conclusion that it is hard to believe the producers dead-ended it with “Alien III,” which was too depressing and too monotone, dreary brown, to go with it-2½ stars, because even though I certainly don’t care for what “Alien III” is, and particularly for the garbage can where it took the story, it was done well and was a believable circumstance, except for the meteor-like crash of the escape pod into the water, which was not survivable. But no matter how well done, “Alien III” is nonetheless a cancer on the heart of the story that, in my mind, along with “Aliens IV,” and every post-Aliens flick since (not prequels), has been excised, and had I known what III and IV were, I never would have watched them at all, letting the story in motion-picture form end with “Aliens.” But, I didn’t know and now I just have to think of III and IV as bad and terrible alternate endings and try to forget... It would have really been nice if they would have cut Ripley and the little girl, Newt, a break, making the crash on the prison world just a stop-over on the way to Earth, where Ripley and Newt survive fighting the alien (unfortunately, Cpl Dwayne Hicks still has to die in the escape-ship capsule for this to happen) along with beating back the horny and the pedo prisoners, where Ripley gets to fight-off and rescue Newt from another kind of monster, to finally get them both back to Earth and have a life, making guest-role appearances for Weaver after that in further releases, as a consultant/expert. That’s why I only wanted to get the extended “Aliens” on Blu-Ray, because in my mind, that’s what happened, and all that followed in the franchise, after “Aliens,” never did. I’d love it to have seen Ripley star in a after-she-got-her-life-back sequel to a re-written “Alien III,” but you know that there’s no way she’d ever give up playing mom to Newt to go back into space to face aliens again. What ifs So, now, if they hadn’t killed off Newt and Ripley, they could make a movie where the little girl, now grown into a tear-‘em-apart bombshell, goes after the aliens in a critical situation on some other colony to avenge her family’s death (in “Aliens”)-if they had kept her alive. And Ripley would star, to finally go with Newt after failing to talk her out of it, to help her and try to keep her safe. This would be the place where Ripley should have died, at the climax of a fight where she is mortally wounded by an alien that was attacking Newt, which she kills before collapsing from her wound: Newt runs to Ripley, kneeling beside her and lifting her up into her arms, “I’m so sorry I made you come here, Mother.” Newt touches the clothing torn open on Ripley’s torso, and her face turns from frantic to despair as she scans the wounds... “You're dying... and it’s my fault.” Ripley, bleeding and breathing heavily, gasps, struggling to speak, “NO, you can’t blame yourself, Darling. You had to meet your own devils, just as I did when these monsters brought us together.” Newt, tears rolling from her eyes, her arm warming with Ripley’s flowing blood, “Oh, Mom...” Ripley strains to speak, as her voice is failing, softening, “I never thought anything good would come from going back, but Newt, listen to me... remember, I'll never regret going back, NEVER... because it gave me you.” Ripley lifts a trembling arm to put her hand upon Newt’s, grasping it, as if, through her, to hold on to life for just a few moments more, “And now... you... you are fulfilling YOUR destiny.” Newt lifts her eyes from Ripley’s face to quickly scan the area. They are alone in the darkening chamber, no aliens, alive, and no one to call to for help. She hears Ripley groan and, turning back to her, Newt begins to sob, “Oh...Mom...” Struggling to hang on, Ripley pulls Newt closer and whispers, “NEVER blame yourself.” Ripley’s brow angles with intent as she locks her eyes on Newt’s, “I am so proud of you. You have made me SO happy...” Ripley’s face relaxes into a blankness as her gaze begins to shift, looking somewhere above Newt now, as if blind, pale, fading away, “And... and I will always... always love you...” And so, as she dies, Newt’s reply, “I love you, so much...” echos, seeming in a dream as she passes... just before the climax, as Newt, filled with anger and sorrow, goes on alone to avenge Ripley and her own family by wiping out the Alien origin hive and its overlord. Instead of something like that, we were given the meaningless, back-story death of Newt and the insanity that was sprung from the dead-end disaster of “Alien III,” when the franchise went into a realm of unbelievability, going way too far with “Alien Resurrection,” where some of the characters were way too comic-bookie, along with the situations, from the cloning, made necessary by the ridiculous decision to kill Ripley off in “Alien III,” to the space-running cadre, invoking a universe where space travel is more like Star Trek than the believable reality that was portrayed in the first two movies. And the aliens are scary enough, as they can only be, with no need to make an ugly, comic, abortion version that really wasn't so scary at all in comparison, and which, in keeping with the for-kids-only flavor of the flick, is made to be a monster that cries like a baby... some weird, creative attempt at hinging humanity to the creature? Well, the fact that the aliens were drooling around the universe was enough, and the attempt, in “Alien IV,” to evolve an abortion that would be more dreadful than Geiger’s monster was a complete failure. I give that release a very generous two stars, and all of them for Weaver’s portrayal in it which, as in the previous movies, was one where she made the best of a bad situation which, in this case, was not the making of the aliens in the realm of the story, but rather the external, creative decisions of the project’s leaders. Retribution Actually, they could redeem themselves and reignite the franchise, making a new flick, “Aliens-After the Dreams,” where, on the way back to Earth, after blowing up the colony (after “Aliens”), they drifted through the core systems (as was the case after “Alien”), but this time, because something went wrong with a part of the hyper-sleep system, they began to age at some point, so that when their ship was finally intercepted, Ripley appears as she (Weaver) does today, and they select an appropriately-aged actress to play grown-up Newt, and Ripley tells her the strange dream she had while in the long sleep, about being on a prison world and Newt being dead, and Newt tells Ripley about a strange dream she had about this far-out military spaceship that was breeding alien abortions, and where Ripley was a clone! “I’ve never had such absurd, insane dreams in all my life,” Ripley would say, Newt, nodding in agreement. And the doctor would reply, “We cannot account for all the effects of such extended sleep on the unconscious mind, especially in a case such as yours and Newt’s, where your metabolism and subsequent aging process was accelerated more than it should have been. But physiologically, I can tell you that if not for the reserve nutrition available to you because of the early, complete failure of Cpl. Hick's capsule, you both would have starved to death.” Then, they could go get aliens again, in the new flick, in a new story that has some semblance of quality like the first two. But I’m glad they’ve come out with the “Aliens Director’s Cut,” and the added characterization it provides. “Aliens” is a jump-off point for imagination, where, post “Aliens,” in my mind, Ripley and Newt live on, chasing aliens and being chased by them... in my very best nightmares.

There was a lawsuit, 2 gamers sued Gearbox and Sega eventually settled out of court. Everyone got a full refund for the game if you were signed up for it. Been a long time though, but yeah the game was an utter disaster that I was so hyped for. The story of the game's development is fascinating to watch. Gearbox put up this strong front, did all these vidocs about how much they cared about ALIENS, while in the shadows they had pawned the game off to a 3rd party studio to finish while they worked on Borderlands. They got the game back 4 weeks before launch and it was apparently so shit they had to try to re-do it and shoehorn stuff into it, which is why it was such trash at launch. It was also discovered that they used a high end PC to "fake" their E3 footage to get people hyped and the footage and story mission shown at E3 wasn't even in the game. It was a complete shit show and SEGA wound up having to pay for it while Gearbox got away with it and went on to get lauded for all their borderlands games. One of the reasons I will never buy a Gearbox game as long as Pitchford is at the helm.
