As for Cameron/Scott partnership erasing Aliens 3 and 4, please elaborate on this more ADM. I have not heard anything about it.
I kind of like Alien 3 now, but that is after having years of it growing on me. When I first saw it I was very disappointed at the treatment of these characters that we had invested so much interest in during Aliens only to have them die off screen in the credit sequence of Alien 3. Cheap cop out. But in the end I thought the prison was not a half bad setting for an alien rampage. Alien Resurrection on the other had is one big WTF experience. How that movie ever got green lit is beyond me.
