Interview with Sci-fi fan Dwayne Moloney.

I'm chatting to comic artiest, one of the voice's of  Secret of the Sailor Madness podcast and all round Sci-fi fan Dwayne Moloney about what elements of the Aliens franchise he enjoys and what could make it a good sci-fi.series again. 


Martin: Which character of the Aliens franchise was your favorite and why? Dwayne :Well, one of the many brilliant things about Ripley in the first film is she aint even the main character, she just kinda ends up that due to process of elimination, which is amazing! And while the first has her just barely survive, the second film has her come to terms with her trauma, to face it head on. Her character arc has her need to learn a new way to exist, to become a warrior, and to relearn how to be a mother. Its really quite brilliantly put together!

Martin: Which of the Aliens franchise was your favorite and why? Dwayne: Hmm, probably Aliens for the afore-mentioned reasons, but both it and Alien are near-perfect movies. Aliens only comes out on top for me as its probably one of the best film sequels out there.

Martin: Where would you like to see the Alien franchise go considering the mess that was Prometheus? Dwayne: I think there needs ta be a new main characters, unrelated to the previous films. It'd have to move to something on a larger scale, perhaps a colony during an infestation rather than after. The colonists could fight off the infestation… mebbie the colony could have been set up by WY to be infected, and the colonists fighting back or something! I feel the genre would have to change a bit too, that gives each story a uniqueness. Alien was kinda like a slasher movie, Aliens was vietnam influenced, thats why I like the idea of the colonists; an internal struggle against overpowering odds.
