That is what really killed Alien 3 for me. Throwing away Newt and Hicks like they never mattered. Honestly it turning out that way actually makes Aliens a worse movie because basically so much done to save the girl... just was a worthless waste. I guess if you want a nihilistic overtone that works but as far as actually it being a good movie, it just outright sucks.
I mean think about it, Alien 3 actually somehow made Aliens [which is an excellent movie] a WORSE movie just by Alien 3 coming out. So I just dont' even consider alien 3 cannon. I don't think it is unreasonable to say though that it actually does lower the impact of a ton of the previous movie with what they did to them.
100% agree.
I liked that Neil Blompkamp was going to retcon Aliens 3 and bring back Newt and Hicks to continue the story where it should have left off. I really would have preferred that over the abomination that was Alien: Covenant.
