    I'll take this over Hicks dying like a punk in Alien3. The one thing that I admired Michael Biehn for is for playing hardball with those jackasses in Alien3. When they asked to use his likeness on the computer to show the report of his death, Michael Biehn said "Yeah, you can use my photo, but it's going to cost you a lot of money."
    Michael Biehn is still a badass and always will be.

      I read that the first draft for alien 3 waas actually going to be set on earth and that hicks was going to be the main character with ripley taking a bit of a back seat, something like the company ends up spreading the xeno's on earth and hicks and ripley tryin to get away again, then alien 4 was going to continue that story but as ripley in led again and this time it was ripley, hicks and some rebels rising up to take down the company. how do you think that would have turned out??

      One of the original drafts for Alien 3 was for Newt (now older and more experienced) and Hicks going and kicking Xeno ass all over the place. Ripley was going to have a smaller part but the movie was going to center around Newt and Hicks. But the studio wanted Ripley and they killed off Hicks. Biehn was already signed on so he pretty much demanded his pay regardless of him being in it.
      I believe there is an "else where" comic that was taken from this particular draft of the script.

      yves0010 aaah reet i didnt now the newt part, that would have been awesome man. yea the studio fucked up after aliens tbh but also as much as i like aliens i would have rather seen ridley do the 2nd over cameron, i feel like scott had an idea of where he would want to take it and that would hav been intresting i mean clearly he didnt intend there to be a queen and a hive etc, was still good though i loved it in fact and hicks is my fav character

      CommanderShepardXII any alien movie that doesn't have ripley as its main is a horrible terrible idea. no offense but hicks was a run of the mill rambo, nothing even remotely interesting about the character.

    I heard Michael biehn didn’t give it his full preformance because he felt like the developers themselves weren’t given it their fullest . And I believe him. And I’m not mad at him. If it were the developers who made Alien isolation . Biehn would have been giving his full attention and acting ability.

    Alien 3 should be retconned. It would save the entire franchise. Keeping Newt alive would allow them to make a new movie with a new, younger survivor of the alien incident. A Newt in her 20s would fill their pockets, for a new generation of Alien fans wanting a female badass against the darkness from space.

    Hicks surviving does make sense. in the beginning of Alien 3, the computer says that Hicks is dead, however how would anyone on Fiorina 161 know what hicks looks like to identify him. during the Autopsy it is only Newts body that is examined. therefore, Ripley never saw Hicks to identify him. so as far as everyone was aware it was hicks. as Colonial marines explains, Turk (from the Legato) was shoved into the cryotube and ejected in the same crytube as Hicks. therefore assuming the cryotube had an ID ion it for who is inside, the prison staff would have assumed it was hicks inside. Admittedly it would have been nice to have Apone or Hudson survive, But hicks was the main soldier.

    Gunshots also create larger and more bloody wounds than a surgical cut, and any bleeding on the body of the hugger would drip down onto Riply's face, going right through it and, at best, severely maiming her by putting a hole through her head.
    Sprayed blood from a shot doesn't only go in the direction of fire either, it goes all over.

      CplDwayneHicks11 If something makes sense whilst not contradicting already established MOVIE canon then I would consider thinking about including it in what I consider cannon. I've not read or seen the things you are talking about but anything in comics has to be taken with a pinch of salt because the Alien movies have contradicted comic stories so many times that EU novels and comics have to be changed and re-written. However, nothing in Colonial Marines makes sense. The plot holes are gaping and appear to be written by someone with either no sense of Alien universe history or by someone who just wanted Hicks to be alive no matter what the cost to decent story telling. Also, I'd be interested in any link you can provide where Ridley Scott actually says Colonial Marines is canon, or any other article where FOX state Ridley has any authority over what in the EU is considered canon.

      Stedal1978 Like to hear your plotholes. As Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual does mention Weyland-Yutani finding Derelict Ship on LV-426 that survived the explosion at the end of Aliens. Michael Biehn face on that body was not seen at all so he never died.
      The film canon has already been destroyed as of this year. River of Pain has changed Aliens around even more things on what happened offscreen. Ah only one thing I mentioned there was linked to the Dark Horse Comics Fire and Stone series. So you not really have not been paying much attention to the recent Titan Books trilogy which have been made canon by Fox.
      I've provided many links below to the new canon to people with what Fox have done with Dark Horse Comics and Games and the Titan Books this year.
      Ridley Scott has mentioned about getting away from the "Gods" and "Dragons". Fox hasn't dropped Colonial Marines brand at all and Dark Horse Comics would have out right said it but they didn't. Ridley gave his blessing to Aliens: Colonial Marines and he has the final say as long nothing effects his squeal is that not enough? Fox's Licensing Division after all.
      If you don't want the Aliens universe to expand with new stories its fine if you want the four films and nothing else. I'm sure you are a die hard Aliens fan too and sure you know that writers and even the people behind Isolation have mentioned Fox's Aliens Universal Bible and the amount of data they have stored.

      James A. Moore the writer of Alien: Sea of Sorrows the second canon Titan book to be made this year. He has mentioned on what FOX are up too.
      "The premise of the novel is to offer a sort of "reboot" to the series, that honors all of the things that have gone before and establishes a continuity that keeps all of the previous situations intact, including the dissolution of Weyland-Yutani, the devastation of Europe at the end of A:R, ALL of the movies and events as well as several video games. After the first draft of the novel was written Fox went over it with a fine-toothed comb and several changes were made. [...] i did not make major changes to the Xenomorphs. That might be something that happens later on, but for now there are extremely strict rules because Fox wants to UN-muddy the waters that have been muddied again and again by comics, other books, etc. Ultimately nothing that happens in the book would have happened without either a) the express permission of Fox or b) the express DESIRE of Fox. in point of fact, the initial concept behind the novel came from the powers that be at Fox. That doesn't mean I didn't plot the beast out, but the concept of a descendant of Ripley was theirs, as was the empathic link."

      Right, I'm at work and can't read it all right now but I'm struggling to see any direct quote from Ridley regarding his blessing that CM is something he considers cannon. Regarding the plot holes, firstly, Hadleys Hope WAS nuked by a 30 megaton explosion, there would be nothing left. Secondly, hicks was wearing different cloths to what he went to sleep in at the end of the movie, there are many more that I can list when I get home if need be.

    There's a really great black and white graphic novel by Dark Horse comics where Hicks and Newt lived and he has to get her off earth before its totally overrun (there is also a color version that changed their names to accommodate the trash that is Alien3). The 6 part comic book series, which is also a graphic novel, was done by Verheiden and Nelson. It gives Hicks and Newt a good story.

    • @stevencohen624
      @stevencohen624 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. It was written by Mark Verheiden.
      After Alien 3, the names of the characters were changed, but happily, the original version was rereleased with the characters we love, Newt and Hicks.
      If I remember correctly, Ripley showed up in the Earth War series.
      It’s nice to have an alternative to Alien 3.

    I always wanted to have a cocooned Cpl. Hudson to appear on camera when Ripley is racing through the hive to find Newt. There's a deleted scene of her finding Burke cocooned. It's VERY rare and many thought it to be a rumor; This was proved wrong as the scene is included as a bonus feature in the "Alien Anthology" blu-ray collection. Strange that James Cameron never re-inserted that scene along with the other deleted scenes into his Director's Cut of "Aliens". Doesn't affect the pacing at all.

    They REALLY SHOULD USE at least part of this has a remake of Alien 3 and 4, except change it so The Weyland Corporation steals Newt and Ripley's Cryo-sleep pods and instead of dying; are mysteriously hauled off somewhere unknown by the time Hicks wakes up, thus giving Weyland Yutani the chance to remove the Facehugger and have an Alien chestburster inside Ripley to be removed and toyed around with. Then they should have a new team of Colonial Marines put together in this Alien 3 remake, with Hicks leading of course, find the Weyland head-Quarter's fight them off and rescue Riply and Newt!. With a minor Predator cameo of course just has a throwback to the AvP games NOT THEIR MOVIES *WHY WHY WHY* if only they could.....it's not like the actor's aren't old enough for 20 years or so so have passed in cryo-sleep like the beginning of the 2nd film.

  • @RevolutionaryGlory

    Soooo, even though Hicks' body is cremated in Alien 3 (he is cremated with Newt), he's also missing an eyepatch/eye bandage, has much fewer injuries (at the end of Aliens, he could not move under his own power, he pretty much had to be carried to his pod)... So, I don't buy it.

      Hick's cryopod was severely damaged when a pillar slammed and crushed Turk's head. Fury 161 doesn't have the facilities to investigate who is who. Therefore, it's a clever way in retconning Alien 3 to fit into Colonial Marines

    • @lunavixen015
      @lunavixen015 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A crushed head doesn't change your biometric data, and you don't need that much specialist equipment to repair a computer, Bishop was far more complicated than the shipboard systems and yet Ripley got him operational.

      You have closure and an explanation. He was killed by a support beam in the crash. Case closed. Welcome to the Lovecraftian universe of Alien. If by 'closure', you mean resurrecting him in a hilariously choreographed fight sequence, so that he can conveniently turn up on LV426, spout some horribly acted dialogue, tip the hat to the woeful AVP franchise, and run around playing Call of Duty.... well, sorry, that's just fanfiction as one contributor has already noted. Really, really bad fanfiction. I had closure. At least I could remember him as a badass before, who was tragically killed in a quirk of fate aboard the Sulaco. Now we can all remember Biehn's last performance as this wooden garbage. Thanks fanboys!

    As for the egg aboard their ship at the beginning of Alien 3. It was obviously put on there by the queen somehow offscreen in Aliens. There would be no other explanation for it other than the Queen Xeno herself did it.

    • @CplDwayneHicks11
      @CplDwayneHicks11 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope wasn't the Queen Xeno. The Xenomorphs onboard the USS Legato who followed Turk and Samwell to the USS Sulaco via the umbilical did place that egg. This is all in game.

    • @CplDwayneHicks11
      @CplDwayneHicks11 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** In Stasis Interrupted when you are playing as Lisbeth you had to catch this yourself. Those Xenomorphs had to began transporting eggs onboard while the two ships were linked. You don't see the Egg put in place but you can see that egg in the main game as Winter on the first level. Would have taken awhile for Stone and Turk to find the Cryo-Chambers hence why the facehugger got to Ripley first. Much better here then saying the first Queen had a hidden small egg when she was onscreen the entire time and went straight for the attack.

    • @CplDwayneHicks11

      ***** Can only think that Michael Weyland ordered his men to hack into the Sulaco's computers to cover up there own involvement. Bishop said "its very dark in here Ripley" and he replaying a false flag event. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation was able to stop Hicks' report back to Earth after all their technology is far advance.

    Alien died as a series for me when Hicks died in Alien 3. I can still remember sitting in the cinema with my dad seeing the movie thinking “fuck this” when they declared Newt and Hicks deceased. I’m still waiting for a deep study on the fact that Alien, Predator and the Terminator all have fallen from grace because of idiot scripts and ideas. Alien and Aliens is the series to me. The rest is bullshit. So even if this game was a big failure i will still remember this clip as a positive thing.

    I'm not too sure about that because a significant period of time had passed since Burke was attacked and cocooned after sealing the door in the fight scene that takes place in medical (the one where Hudson is taken through the floor). I believe since that scene and the point where Ripley goes to rescue Newt is quite a while. The facehugger probably had enough time to impregnate Burke and then fall off and die. Of course, that's just my opinion.
