James Cameron's Aliens was a mistake.

As per a previous post of mine, I've started laying down the groundwork for a re-telling of ALIENS. This doesn't interfere with ALIEN: Manticore as ALIENS is set is an entirely seperate focus and actually makes for a nice side-project that helps me when I get stuck with Manticore.

Blackwinter-witch A retelling of the Brett/Xeno encounter from Jonsie's POV would be a unique take imo.

Foxxy_User Alien 3 and AR seem like hot button issues around here. I like them all and would describe the series like this:

Alien- Horror

Aliens- Action

A3- Tragedy

AR- Comedy

That's a cool idea for a short-story, and I know someone out there re-told ALIEN from Jonesie's perspective, but there's always room for another effort. :)

That cat got minimal screen-time, but has a cult following all his own :D

You nailed it, with your Classifications of the ALIEN series!!

If I ever did it, I would avoid reading what the other did so as not to influence my take. Unfortunately I am only good for about two pages!

2 pages is more than many people can muster, and in time, you might just find your ability expanding. :)

I won't be looking up the other works, I already have thoughts crystallizing around my memories of the scene and lead-up to it in ALIEN, as you said, such could lend unwanted influence.

I agree with Foxxy above, Alien Resurrection was a huge mistake, not only was it just a shoehorned story to include Ripley for a cash grab but it has some of the worst dialog and cheese ball happenings thtoughout. If it was meant to be comedy it was bad comedy, most of AR well it's in a similar  vein and dialog of purposeful cheese like Sharktopuss, plus the tone, mood and corn ball dialog in that does not belong in the alien film universe, to me it's an insult not an addition, as bad as both AVP movies are AR is an abomination in my book, I sleep better at night just pretending AR never happened lol

I just want the fear back in the alien movies. It needs to mysterious and scary and thought provoking. I love the egg morphing idea and really hope to see it return in Alien Covenant.

No more bees or ants or wasps. Give me something original.

Remember " In Space no one can hear you scream"

Not "In Space you need a can of raid"

I agree completely!! You said it so very well!

Remember " In Space no one can hear you scream"

Not "In Space you need a can of raid"

I personally love Aliens.

Lmao @ the Jonesey idea!

I'm bored. I might just do that lol

@ Iain - Most do. You're not alone. :)
