hicks alive?

[Demonslayer2222]

Does keeping hicks alive change the feeling of the third aliens movie? and why no explanation as to whos body was in cryo when crash landing on fury 161, we only need a dlc to show newt is also alive lol.

It just f***s up the whole storyline. It never explained how Hicks placed a lookalike body in the EEV that crashed on Fury 161 or why he would have been tortured, none of it made sense and none of it was explained. I loved Hicks in Aliens but in my opinion once he was killed off he should have stayed dead.

Totally agree, hicks was great in aliens but once dead should have stayed dead.

The whole franchise has been flushed down the toilet so many times it really doesn't mater anymore.

Let J.J. Abrams make a sequel and he could easily bring back newt, hicks and ripley, have the Sulaco travel through a wormhole and end up being turned into duplicate ships - one that ended up on fury 161 and another that ended up back at LV426.

Someone sat around a boardroom meeting and said "let's have Hicks still be alive" and everyone went "yeah, cool, awesome".

First off, to many fans the third movie never existed. Because it sucked. No one acknowledges that movie. And thier explanation of hicks was vague, but it’s not so unrealistic either that you doubt it. I personally like that he’s still around, he was one of my favorite characters.

Look at the last Xmen movie with Cyclops, ProfX and Gene all dying. Seriously that was the director’s way of killing of the franchise. A very stupid move too many fans. And many of us do not acknowledge that movie either because of the idiocy of killing off main chars. same principle applies here.

As a big Aliens fan I did not take the story in this seriously, as I rely on the 3 Dark Horse Graphic Novels (Volume One - Book One, Volume Two - Nightmare Asylum and Volume Three - Earth War) as a true story to what happened straight after the second movie.

In this game, seeing the site totally intact after what happened at the end of the movie, and Hicks back into the action like that was .. hmm.. I just tried to look past it and enjoy the gameplay with friends.

Alien 3, especially the director's cut, is better in some ways to Aliens. It's an equal member of the trilogy. Now Alien 4 is a royal turd, and anything made after.

Hicks never died. The Alien Saga ends with Aliens. There was a script for a sequel that never saw the light. Where of course Hicks and Newt weren't just killed off like that for no reason. Alien 3 story is trash and should not be taken seriously.

I am one of the few who actually liked Alien3, the extended cut to be precise, loved it. Too many fans bashed it because it wasn't living true to Aliens. These same fans forget that Aliens was equally a kick in the face to Alien fans as Alien3 was to Aliens fans. I love the trilogy, they all offer something different, it's at the trilogy I draw the line, if Alien3 was poor then Alien Resurrection was a sick joke, how that movie escapes as much slating as it does is beyond me. That ws actually equally as bad as AvP2 in fact I would never subject myself to watching it ever again.

Hicks was my favourite Aliens character but I feel the A:CM story writers didn't do enough to explain his extraordinary survival plus I felt A3 was pretty awesome without him, that is what makes it hard to believe. Especially when you see his mangled corpse in A3 still wearing the bandages from his wounds, it just seems like a desperate ploy to win kudos with Aliens fans who were pi**ed that Fox killed off their favourite character. In my opinion there are too many grey areas and since I liked Alien 3 I don't see the sense in it but since A:CM is considered canon, like it or not that is how it goes.

ll it was made to play like COD according to unconfirmed sources. I guess we might as well just get used to Dwayne "Soap" Hicks McTavish being alive and well once again. Personally though, bringing Hicks back was an abomination to me. When they took that bag off him I literally sat here and said, "WTF? You have to be f'n kidding me!!" Of course that was after I was asking wtf they didn't take the bag off their fellow Marine's head once they secured him. Piss poor writing FTMFL!!

aliens 3 was like someone saying "yo fk dis aliens shiz there is to many guns"

and then said "lets have a abandoned prison with NO WEAPONS and have bunch of random dudes die and then the alien dies after leaping out of molten metal"

caus we all know aliens are imune to heat and fire

edit: and aliens 4 was like the matrix of aliens and ripley was neo

[mgsmith02]

Hicks' body was never really shown in full in Alien3, even the assembly cut, it was just shown briefly as a mangled mess in a cryotube, and then later just wrapped before being dropped into the furnace. Even "Newt" in Alien3 looked way older than she did in Aliens when Ripley cut her open... That said though.... I don't really agree with them "bringing him back". Needed way, way more explanation.

This is what you get from people who do not care about the Alien Franchise. IF they had to bring somone back they could have brought back Hudson, you never see him die only taken by an Alien throught the floor, most likely to be Cocooned like the others.

With all the fighting going on, he could have escaped and made it to safety, surviving like a hermit in some cave on the planet until the rescue ship arrived 17 weeks later.

The Script for ACM was awful and makes no sense, I hate how its mostly COD against Humans and that in so little time half the planet is turned into a research lab, you think that the ship they arrive in could scan and detect life both on the Sulaco and the planet.

Also, where did all these damn Xenos come from? Nearly all should have died in the explosion at the end of Aliens.

I think we just try and forget this insult from Sega and pretend it never happend.
