Why would Burke set the Marines up for failure, but then go with them? Even going so far as to land on the planet with the doomed mussion? There are "bad calls", and then there are "suicidaly retarded calls".

Accutate. Ultimately, the franchise's refusal to resolve, or even acknowledge, the bonus situation, is what doomed it. And I mean that Unironically.

Why did Ripley go back the LV1234 in Aliens? - the bonus situation. She was found liable for the destruction of a space freighter worth like, 17 Trillion dollars. She was going to be loading space docks for the company for eternity to pay off her debts. Why did the mission in Aliens go tits up? - The bonus situation. Pic related sold out his fellow humans for a percentage point. Sad!

Subsequent alien movies had no bonus situation to speak of, and are considered weak installments. Is that such a coincidence?
