I think it could still be cool. The alien canon but with an alternate perspective like halflife blue shift

I loved the original movies but there's no need to keep digging up the past over and over.. Disney doesn't have a good track record as of recently, either..

Isn't Earth supposed to be a real shithole in the Aliens universe? And unless this is a sequel to Resurrection I don't think there are any Xenomorphs there either. I mean I guess it has potential, since it doesn't necessary feel exploitive beyond the producer's statements.

Hey now, we both know the Alien series needs more social justice messaging and and anti-capitalist propaganda, darn it!  And if anyone can do it, it's Disney. |

The Mandalorian is proof that they can do better. |

Your best examples, please. I don't know why I bother asking you direct questions when you just duck behind the opinions of other people. Did you even watch the movie? Before you answer that, don't show me another video of someone who did so they can tell me what your opinion about it is. Hopefully someday you'll form an opinion of your own.

Before you answer that, don't show me another video of someone who did so they can tell me what your opinion about it is. Hopefully someday you'll form an opinion of your own. Flawed premise, typical. Just because someone uses examples featuring other people's opinions does not mean that person hasn't formed their own opinion. I used examples because they were a quick and effective way to get my point across, which they did quite well. I'm not going to waste time laying out an argument in text for a troll who delights in being antagonistic in hopes of spreading his own misery onto others. You want examples, watch the videos I posted. They have examples. You don't like it, then crawl back in your cave. |

Actually, Alien / Aliens are one of the few movies that got it right.
Anti-capitalism check, Weyland Yutani are suits and shit-bags. Anti-colonialism check, the Colonial Marines are in thrall to corporate overlords and piss their knickers in actual combat. Strong Female Lead check, although in the hands of lesser writers Ripley tends to go from "Badass woman protecting herself / child in a hostile universe" to "Annoyed school ma'am."
As for the Earth setting, I can dig it. The comics were only 75% hot garbage.
