Sure every single marine except Hicks died. Sure they faced a totally uncertain future. But any time more than one person survives - preferably infected - that's going too damn far!"I mean as a percentage of the cast, I think the percentage is a lot smaller than Alien lol (I haven't done the math I admit). I'm surprised Jonesy surviving doesn't make Alien "too feelgood"!(To be clear, I actually think it would have been okay if Hicks and Newt were killed onscreen during the events of an Alien 3 - a little cheap and shlock-shock-y but like okay, it's a horror movie (and Fincher was a "cheap" director in that sense at the start of his career). But killing them offscreen, that's no good. That'd be like if TLJ just had Luke die immediately as he received the lightsaber or something lol. Just drop dead of a heart attack (too much weird milk!) right in front of poor Rey lol. Like it's one thing to decide a path for an unestablished fact (i.e. Rey's parentage) in a way that might annoy the guy doing the previous movie, that's like Cameron and the xenomorph queen. It's quite another to just maliciously delete characters because they're inconvenient to the story you'd rather tell lol.)</blockquote>
