WHAT!?! They did?! I... didn't know that.D Moness said:
I didn't realize I owned first edition paperbacks... wow. I guess I should take care of those books then... I wouldn't want to read a version that had been censored for bad canon.
I think they're in a shoebox in a closet... in my parent's house.
Edit: Wait, did they change the comics and the novels, or just the comics? Either way, that's awful, but... well, if it's the comics only I care less. Never actually owned the comics.
The comics were changed , can not find if the novels were changed. Only reason i know the comics was because after this topic i was looking and reading up some lore. Want to watch the movies again now)Bara_no_Hime said:
Looking a bit further if the book is Aliens : Earth Hive it did the same and change the names
Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien: Resurrection are all great fun. The first two in particular are masterpieces. Alien: Resurrection is like Alien meets Fifth Element (minus Leeloo, unfortunately).
It's AvP that is an insult to all things xenomorph (although I love the games!).

Did you know that Alien 3 was originally supposed to take place on a planet made entirely of wood? Yeah, a wood planet. I swear, I'm not making this stuff up.
I still consider Alien and Aliens to be among some of the greatest sci-fi horror/action films ever made.
Ridley Scott's Alien was a masterpiece of sci-fi horror. It did just about everything right. So much so that it still influences sci-fi and horror films to this day.
James Cameron's sequel, Aliens, wasn't as surprising as the original, but the direction he took the story and the universe was brilliant. It was the perfect way to expand the story while staying true to the original. (without being stifled)
Alien 3 had some interesting ideas, but failed in it's execution in just about every way. At best, it was mediocre. And, even that's being kind.
Resurrection was an abomination. It took the barest minimum of themes from the first two films and added in the most basic forms of sci-fi tropes they could think of. Quirky, goofy, "buddy" mercs. Cloning. Secret labs working on something "dangerous". A half-hearted attempt at being contemplative on the topic of the rights of artificial intelligence.
In short, it was awful. Just awful. Especially that exceedingly out-of-place, awkward third reel. (guh, that final death scene. *shiver*)
The only "alien" film(s) that could possibly be considered worse that Resurrection would be the two Alien vs. Predator films. Those were...were...
Never mind. I don't even want to think about them. They were an occasion of a franchise that not only jumped the shark, but picked up the shark to beat a dead horse with it.

I love Alien and Aliens. Resurrection is mediocre but it isn't Alien 3. Alien 3 had my favourite character from Aliens, Hicks die off screen at the start of the film. It also just isn't good. I hate Alien 3.
