If you haven't, read the novel River of Pain, it basically covers the events.

@TeKnoVKNG23 ive read river of pain and the audiobook version but it could easily be made into a series. If they made it like 24 each series was a day it would be epic

@@garethhayes9982 Yeah it's a solid book, would be a cool series. What I really want is a sequel covering where the survivors went.

@@TeKnoVKNG23 what survivors?

@@woooooooo9061 Spoilers for the book, so don't read if you plan on reading it. Basically there is a Colonial Marines detachment on Hadley's Hope for general colony defense, and a department of WY scientists there as well to "study" the planet while the processors do their work. It's revealed pretty early on that the scientists know about the derelict and they have a whole lab set up in a secret part of the colony along with an escape ship that only they know about. The book covers the infestation and the marines and colonists trying to fight back, which they are able to do with some success until the xenos start using the air ducts to abduct people and get more drones. The end of the book is basically their last stand(right before Newt escapes into the air ducts in the tie in comic book to ALIENS) and the marine captain who has found out about the escape ship is able to get himself, another marine, one of the scientists, and a young girl to the ship and they escape. They never really followed up on it which is kind of a shame.

You think so? I dig Hicks has a character. And Micheal Biehn played him to perfection. Thing is, if he didn’t make it out of the hive. Everything would have still played out the exact same way as it did. He listened to Ripley’s recommendations and did what she suggested. Leaving and nuking the spot. Going over the blueprints and pretty much instructing him and them on what to do. They would still have done everything they went over. Aside from shooting some “bugs”, All he did really was show her how to use the pulse rifle and did some welding. If anyone is the brilliant survivalist, it’s Newt.

@@chrisadams8182yeah they pretty much just barricaded themselves into a room

@@user-om5or5bi1p Right?! Don’t get me wrong. I love everything about this movie. But Hicks is kind of irrelevant to what goes down. He’s just there for the ride.

@@chrisadams8182 Exactly! Not that they made Hicks a stupid character and he isn’t, but the story is following PTSD Ripley with the dilemma to sit back and do nothing or take charge and lead. Hicks was such an amazing character I wish they could had done a sequel with him and Ripley.

I can relate to your comment so much-I listen in work too-work in optical lab-this stuff is gold.melts hours away like molecular acid some sort;) Rainy days,dull days,HANGOVER days-Depression days…man.so many times I’ve escaped this world leaving only my body running on autopilot behind.Sinking in to this amazing universe.Dublin outpost out🫡

Same here. Listening from London

This is absolutely, the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while.

There was a sequel on mobile phone platforms iPhone and Android.

As far as I know that was cannon?

I loved Amandas’ story, but I don’t want the sequel to detail her story, other than revealing what happened to her. I want a new game, similar mechanics, that does the same thing with Aliens. Whereby, despite your powerful weapons, you feel the need to hide from the creatures more often than engage in combat with them.

She must have been rescued because in the Aliens movie Ripley finds out she was in her 60's when she died, a few years before Ripley was picked up. Theres even a photo of her in the extended directors cut, so Amanda Ripley definitely made it back to Earth.

Me too!! This is my favorite Alien channel.

That would be so great!! I never thought of that.

I wouldn't, some stories are best left untold. The reason Hadley's hope is so scary is because you don't know what happened and your imagination runs with it

I believe they made it an audiobook if those events

There is a Dark Horse graphic novel, Newt’s Tale - which details the sequence of events from Newt’s parents face hugger-trip to the colonists last stand, to Newt’s escape & survival, before the Marines arrived. It would make an excellent Rogue One style movie or mini series, if they chose to reboot this entire franchise properly

I think it was Gorman's idea to only use flamethrowers. After pointing out the danger from the armor-piercing rounds, Ripley wanted the Marines to withdraw.

What do you mean wrong? It was Vasquez and Drake shooting which causing the core to rupture which caused the explosion at the end. Yes Vasquez and Drake saved the marines but their shooting did results in the explosion which could have gone off sooner than later. Marines should have withdraw and swap to appropriate weapons then go back in.

@@MetalsirenIXI Nope, it was the ship crash into the reactor that ruptured the core.

@@barreloffun10 Ripley didn't want a withdraw faster than Gorman and she would probably suggest flamers but Gorman had to give the order.

Ripley had just cautioned Gorman about the marines being located beneath the heat exchangers. She was aware that if the creatures had taken refuge there, either for their increased metabolism due to warmth or tactical reasons, disabling the heat exchangers could trigger a dangerous thermonuclear chain reaction with catastrophic consequences. Ripley knew that if part of the cooling system were disabled, it could cause the fusion reactor to overheat and lose control, leading to the later resultant thermonuclear runaway reaction. Breaching the heat exchanger led to the reactor's energy output escalating to a level where it became akin to a hydrogen bomb, with a devastating release of energy and destruction.

I don’t think enough people want to see that the problem with the alien franchise is the franchise is split into to many peices you have the people who love aliens and alien then there’s the alien fans that love the first and 3rd and then you got the aliens fans who aren’t a fan of everything that came after.

I think there's a graphic novel out there charting the colony's demise, but I don't remember much about it. It was... average IMHO

Thanks for that, it makes it all even more scary, realisti

And why didnt the company just want the ship

According to the River of Pain novel, the Derelict was located in one of the only remaining unexplored areas, a highland plateau that had been mostly ignored by Wildcat prospectors because of the bad terrain surrounding it.

I'm jealous!!! Enjoy the screening 😎

Where is the showing? I hope to see it on the big screen one day but not much opportunity in the UK

@@dravensnow Hello. My local Cineworld is showing it. I am sure it is nationwide.

@@kc9602 Thank you.

@@spitfiremark1a768 I owe you one, just booked tickets at Castleford now! Thanks

How was that a mistake?

@@shooknI think they meant to say it as a mistake in the narration.

@@619AGT ahh yeah I think you’re right.

There is evidence of this at the end of Aliens, after the credits. You can faintly hear the skittering of Facehugger legs across the deck. It can be presumed that the Queen grabbed a couple of Facehuggers to assist her in capturing the creatures that destroyed her hive. When the Queen clambered onto the Dropship's undercarriage, she may have decided a new hive was needed and "commanded" these Facehuggers to hide, then attack when things were clear. After sensing the death of the Queen, they kept a low profile until things got quiet, then followed the human scent to the hyper-sleep chambers. If you just ignore the egg and assume they were a couple of carry-ons, its a fairly smooth start to the movie.

@@stevonbass Oh, no shit?

Androids are ignored by Xenos. Maybe bishop grabbed one

Was probably a combination of both.
