Alien killed the "lone wolf" aspect, not Aliens.

You are the cancer that destroyed this place and is now proceeding to destroy humanity. Everything you touch, is shit. YOU are shit. Everything you will ever amount to, everybody you will ever know and everything you will ever do, will be shit.

You rob everything of its integrity and you spew your "buzzwords" as though they're gospel. You brag about accomplishments that aren't yours to what passes for your "friends" and they reward you with empty applause. Empty. Like everything else in your life. You have never possessed one ounce of dignity, honor or self-respect. Others do not respect you. In all likelihood they will NEVER respect you.

I do not wish death upon the likes of you. I do not wish for you to end your vapid, hollow existence. Instead, I revel in the knowledge that, with each year that passes, you will descend more and more into the despair and depression that will inevitably follow your teenagehood. I wish I could be there to see the look on your face as the revelation hit you. The revelation that you are nothing and always have BEEN nothing. I wish I could be there to tell you, "I told you so" with a wry smile on my face.

That this will never happen, is my only regret. Enjoy what passes for your life, child, because in a few years when adulthood hits you with full-force, you will not even be REMOTELY prepared for it.

I had faith that Sig-Sig Sputnik wouldn't stand for any stupid shit when it comes to Alien, but she was in Resurrection so I'm not sure if even she is the best judge of the series' future.
It might be interesting, but how many times is the story going to change? Hicks died, Newt died, Ripley died and for some reason a fucked up xeno-nympho clone ran around for a while in a shitty movie.
I just don't want it to fucking suck, and there's no way to make it fit neatly into the story of the previous movies.

The action is shitty and it wasn't scary. The aliens got mowed down. Best shot is in the sewer with newt and the alien coming out if the water. But the bitch shouls have been dead right there. Imersion ruined shitty 5/10 flick for the sake of being a sequel.

Most of the added scenes in the director's cut add nothing but filler to the movie and slow it down even more. Cameron tried to make the first half of Aliens to be like Alien then the second half is all action; it just doesn't flow well.

Thats because, in reality, the series should have ended with Alien 3.

Alien : Res is pure and utter shite that should never have been made.

She is relatively small girl, and used to play hide-and-seek (and she was really good at it) in tight vents.
So she hid until xenomorphs went dormant in their warm and comfy lair.

Also, if we keep in mind theory that aliens are living weapons designed to kill sentient beings, leaving one offspring alive to lure more prey is sensible strategy.
