Reply to comment by TurboPGT in Jean-Pierre Jeunet on Alien Resurrection, 25 years on by chrisbokiul

This franchise hasn't made sense since Alien 3. :|

That’s beside the point. Each new attempt has a chance at being interesting.

You just told me they're making an alien movie on earth set before Alien. These ideas are getting less interesting.

Sad thing is they have a blueprint for compelling ideas in the Dark Horse comics written decades ago.

Amen re: the Dark Comics run. To me it’s still the definitive concept for a sequel (to Aliens, ignoring / disregarding Alien 3) that I’ve seen.

IIRC it did however do a weird thing where Hicks and Newt weren’t Hicks and Newt… until they suddenly were?

In the 30th Anniversary edition of the original Aliens comics that issue has been corrected.

Well, I think so as it has been some time since I last read through it.

If I recall correctly, it had something to do with licensing or the writers believing there was.

Interesting thanks for the tip. Certainly in the collection I have they randomly change identities halfway through.
