    The Dillon example is a really good one, actually. Heroic but not as cliche as other options, and he could have had the same kind of sway and bravado, without coming across as brutish as Dillon would have been a good fit for sure

      Although I miss Hix and Noot, he was way to strong of a character to have in this setting where the warden acted as the antagonist by not listing to Ripley's concerns and drawing out the process. Hix would have taken control immediately and began a sweep of the facility or began an escape/hide out plan. Not that the change in the storyline would have been bad but Ripley wouldn't have had as big of a part.
      That's what I love about these high school girls, manI get older, they stay the same age.

        I'm really glad they killed both of 'em off right at the beginning. It was important for Alien3's story and themes that Ripley woke up on the planet alone and had to hold her own against these criminals. Plus by killing them off at the beginning the movie punched us in the stomach, saying anything could happen in this movie and anyone could die, even Besides, as good as Hicks and Newt were for Aliens, they were one dimensional characters.

          Absolutely. Both Hicks and Newt deserved better. That is the movie's biggest fault.
          So many stories, so little time.

            They all made it back to earth safely and became a family with a repaired/restored Bishop as their PA.
            A3 is just nightmares of Rip because remember in 2 when she had them?

              Man, that was one of those vivid, lucid nightmares that really suck.

                Movie would’ve been better if they all died in the crash — roll credits. Because Ripley died at the end anyway and kills the alien, so what’s the narrative point in her surviving the crash? All the events of the movie are pointless. The Company shows up to collect the specimen, everyone dies anyway along with the specimen, so the Company leaves with nothing.
                That way no one would be forced to watch another 2 hours of this turd.

                  If she died the facehugger would still have got out and there would be an alien on the loose killing everybody. She needs to help them kill it.

                    My idea is that the pod crashes and kills everything inside, including the face hugger.

                      The facehugger deserved better than that.
