All right sweethearts, what are you waiting for, breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the corps. A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal is a banquet. Every paycheck a fortune. Every formation a parade. I LOVE the corps!

The Alien film franchise has had its problems. There are still people who are angry the original Alien 3 teaser said they were going to Earth and the actual movie had nothing to do with the aliens getting loose on Earth.
Not to mention the better, if continuity-destroying, William Gibson script for Alien 3 which got turned down in favor of the much cheaper one we got. Which while it has its merits, just doesn't feel like a worthy sequel to Aliens. A decent sequel to Alien since it has many of the same elements. I'd have split the franchise- do "Aliens 2" and "Alien 2", with action-horror and straight-up horror being the focus in each respective version.
EDIT: "MARINES! We are LEAVING!"
My biggest problem with Alien 3 was the slap in the face to James Cameron and the fans of the Second movie by killing Hicks off like a fucking Chump.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but FOX does have the rights to Aliens, Predator, and Terminator, yeah? So a game with those three ridiculously powerful factions could come out, right?

Well, those would be movie rights. Then there are game rights.
An Alien vs. Predator vs. Terminator movie would basically be the greatest work of cinema ever made or that could ever be made
That's what people said about Aliens Vs. Predator. Given the current trend, it would basically be cancer in film form.
You'd need to make someone else watch it within seven days to pass the curse on.

I want a facehugger to impregnate a terminator.
The chest burster would have metal skin.
The drone would have red glowing eyes and sunglasses.
Also your boots and your motorcycle.
edit: Good god I just found a website where some guy details a TIMELINE for aliens vs predator vs terminator vs robocop. Like he actually tries to make a timeline which would make everything fit in. It's glorious.

He should have gone for broke and included TMNT. I wonder what you get when you cross an alien with a ninja turtle. I'm pretty sure it would be awesome.
Also there was a Batman vs. Aliens comic back in the day where a facehugger nailed an alligator, and you got a gigantic alienogator of DOOM. The story was retarded but I though the monster was kind of cool. Of course, they had that book next to Superman vs. Aliens, where the aliens were strong and fast enough to cut superman, while in the Batman book Batman dodged an attack and lassoed the inner jaw of an alien. The inconsistency of the aliens' capabilities definitely started a bit of nerd rage in me.

He's also talking to Vasquez, though. And the line is cooler the way it is- despite being ambushed by horrifying space aliens, Hicks is still forming his sentences as if they were departing a restaurant.
For everyone who despises Alien 3, check out the trilogy of Aliens comics by Mark Verheiden. They were written before Alien 3, and form kind of an alternate sequel to Aliens . They've been conveniently gathered together in omnibus format (along with many of the other Aliens comics that followed). Note that the versions in the omnibus are the 1997 re-releases, which added colour and changed some of the names (e.g., Newt and Hicks became Billie and Wilks) in order to maintain continuity with the films.

But the Terminator isn't alive. Aliens need live beings to impregnate.

You missed the first part of the book where they had Superman fly far enough away from the planet earth that he got weaker. I mean he wasn't thinking "Shit I'm getting weak, these puny things can cut me now" at all at any point in the book. (Like every second page) So the aliens were the same strength as always, they made Superman weaker.
Plus Superman lost anyway, the aliens got the person he was trying to save, which always makes him go "Ugh, WAIL ANGST NASH TEETH"

"Five metres, man! Four! ...What the hell?!"
I have the first one of those, and while the first two stories are excellent, it pretty much goes to shit when Ripley is introduced in Female War. It contradicts the entire secondary canon they've established by changing the characters' names (and they never namedropped Ripley, either). They also make the story much more about her instead of Billie/Wilks, and the art is TERRIBLE to boot.
Two out of three ain't bad (it's worth getting at that price), but I'd rather they just nuked that shit from orbit.

That's nudged a memory back for me. I remember reading The Female War novel years back and wondering who Billie and Wilks were. So there was more stories before that one without Ripley?

Yeah, at least two (I'm not sure what comes after Female War, other than Rogue, which doesn't feature them); Outbreak and Nightmare Asylum. Both are great. Earth gets fucked properly by the Xenomorph. They're written by Mark Verheiden, who's now a writer on the new Battlestar Galactica, so it's high quality.
Except Female War. I don't know what happened there. Apparently they edited out all the Ripley references in the Omnibus (which I personally think is a good idea), leaving only a single panel or some such where they mention a female soldier who liberated Billie from her infested homeworld. That's it. Then, Ripley shows up with a bunch of guns in the last panel of Nightmare Asylum and suddenly it goes into film canon, only with Hicks/Newt being entirely different characters than they were in the movie.
