I veered pretty far off-topic so I thought I’d take it off the original poster’s Aliens gifset before I confused the heck out of the next person to go through the notes, haha….

indelicateink said: oh man, how could you not–Vasquez was so cool! (all the colonial marines <3 )

this movie is gold. “nuke the site from orbit. it’s the only way to be sure” has become legend, but all the dialogue is fantastico.

We still say “Marines, we are leaving!!” when it’s time to leave.

Ugh the life of a colonial marine, I was born too soon help put me in cryo until it’s a thing please

SCHWARZ AS COLONIAL MARINES. I think that was a prompt in your last contest?! Farfarello as the Vasquez stand-in mowing down everything in sight with no fear and Schuldig as the Hudson character, why the fuck are we fighting something I can’t read wtf did you sign us up for just shoot our client and get us a dropship out of here.

Mannn I need to make time to watch this again real soon. This and Starship Troopers—my bamf bb and my trash bb.

We still say “Marines, we are leaving!!” when it’s time to leave. <33333

I know in my heart of hearts I am not made of stern enough stuff to be a colonial marine, but a girl can dream, right?? I’ll just watch them with heart-eyes.

hahaha, YES–I totally prompted Schwarz as colonial marines, I have such a thirst. XD XD And you’re a genius! See, I’d pictured Schuldig as Vasquez and Farfarello as Drake (because I think I remember from some interview somewhere someone was saying Drake and Vasquez were BFFs and grew up in the projects together and enlisted together), but my god, Hudson has all the BEST lines, how could one deny Schuldig all the best lines?? You have much better casting.

(haha, Starship Troopers is soooo much fun.)

The Vasquez-Drake setup is definitely interesting & viable, esp considering how .. reticent? Drake seemed to be in his scenes, whereas Vasquez was more colorful. Not to mention that connection between them that could play well into the Schuldig & Farfarello dynamic.

Though I guess condensing 12~13 roles down to 4 main people allows for a blending of characters… Imagining Crawford in the role of Apone trying to keep control of these assclowns while their greasy Burke-wannabe client leads them further into hell…

Maybe each colonial marines unit is given a psychic or two, like at a set ratio, to stack the decks in case the team really does find something? Not every unit, of course, but those in the special forces whatnot who have to answer intergalactic distress calls.

asdfkj I need to stop thinking about this now or I’ll actually try to plot something out.

((I still haven’t seen Starship Troopers 2 or 3, I’m afraid they’ll ruin the campy love I hold for 1. I’ve heard 3 is better than 2? IDK))
