Alien 3 should've been about Newt, Ripley, Bishop, & Hicks getting intercepted by Weiland-Yutani.
The franchise would have fared better if they went for the alternate Alien 3 plots.
Maybe a plot about them getting detained by the corporation & gov't- meanwhile the base they are is experimenting with aliens as a bioweapon & building an Alien army (like in the comics and in the unused Alien 3 scripts). Then the humans lose control of the situation...
