I hope not. Maybe it just means they'll increase the budget of the upcoming Hulu show.

Hopefully.So this is getting a sequel?
The creepy man-baby-morph, makes its way back to LV-426, and the Space Jokey ship and exoskeleton (sorry it is a space suit), then goes on to new adventures.
I’d like the sequel to Covenant and see what David does with the colony too lol
Yes, that's a fair comparison.
Or the hybrid in A4...
Or the dreck that is AvP...
Or the slendermorph currently...
Each generation gets theres.
Actually, based on that lovely chart you provided, its strange to realize the longest period without an Alien sequel was only 7 years. So every 4-7 years some group of people's bubble is popped.
Deadpool had likable characters I wanted to watch and spend time with. It had call backs but not actual rip offs of the films that came before it. Alien R did this with its dialogue, its props, its camera shots and pulling out characters who are long dead.
Deadpool avoided all that and basically was a cameo filled goof fest but was respectful to its main characters.
I’m pretty sure I like this film 30 to 40% more if I liked the characters. I really didn’t care for any of them. I keep reading that everyone liked Andy and I did at first but that stupid concerned, confused, I smell poop face got obnoxious after a while . Main girl was ok but mostly cause she was the high point to the rest of the human characters.
Alien 3 was a punch to the balls for sure. I love it now and love the producers cut even more. It’s a ******* masterpiece compared to this last one.
100% agree. No imagination and poor characters will ultimately make this film a distant memory for most when talking about the franchise.
Already stated it.. but good well written characters saved Deadpool. Tell me something about anyone other than the android and main girl other than
Bald Asian one
Caring Brother one
Pregnant girl one
fine fellow one
This!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ive been saying this!!!
This is TFA of the Alien franchise. Seems like a very Disney thing to do.
Nothing saves the fact they used Sir Ian in one of the worst F/X shots ever.
That movie was an awful mess
But there was a plot around the callbacks. Not just lines and member berries shots. There was a point and it worked.
Plus…. Likable characters
I can’t remember Ghostbusters but Alien R did something the other films didn’t do and that was lift actual shots and dialogue in cringy ways from the other films.
I mean this shot???? So goofy. Did the other films you mention basically rip off better shots from the other films.
TFA was garbage and I agree.
A:R just stole plot points and shots from each film in the series. But the story was at least a little different.
I’ll go to my deathbed on this one. Each film you mention at least had good characters. This film.. Not at all.
It’s hard enough to make a monster that’s been in 8 films before it scary. But if I could care less about the characters then where does the suspense come from??
Hell I like some of the rapist and Murderers in Alien 3 better than these characters.
I also think I would have enjoyed this movie more if it looked more like Prometheus and Covenant and less like Alien.
I could then separate it in my mind more and put it in the Ridley Scott fan fiction series. But having Alien tech, Sir Ian, and mentions of Ripley, the Nostromo, and the original Xeno make it too hard to do that and thus it’s an embarrassment like Ressurectionn

There's a lot of boxes you apparently have to check to make an Aliens sequel.
Now you have to copy the copies. But each copy is worse than the last. It's just like...

Broke and happy
Remember when JAWS was upset that Rogue One didn’t look like AOTC lol
Holy crap, lol.
lol
But it was..
I mean the only way to respect Logan was to be obvious on how disrespectful you were going to be to that particular films iconic moment.
And the new Logan was handled with respect and most importantly…. I cared
Trash
OMG -- Fede Alavrez was the guy who did The Girl in the Spider's Web. That was horrible.
We have a new Renny Harlin.
Maybe he'll do Jaws 5...?

This!!!
I like the films but I don’t consider them canon.
When I watch A L I E N I never once think about those Giant humanoids, when the find the Space Jockey.
But it easy to dismiss also since the style, look, and Tech is so far removed from the original films and this I can enjoy them as fan fiction.
And there is my problem with Romulus. It does fit in with the originals too well.
If it looked like it took place in the same world as the last two Ridley films I probably could have enjoyed more as a sequel to those rather than a sequel / prequel to Alien and Aliens.
Now the dumb stuff like Black goo and Humanoid space jockeys are more of a part of the Alien universe and it feels less like fan fiction.
Ok Alvarez said that “The Line” was HIS idea and admits that he did it to get the same audience reaction that Aliens got and was super relieved when he got it during the test screenings.
Umm does he not read this forum lol
Test screening really….REALLY!
That’s what made him feel comfortable with NOT BEING ORIGINAL and coming up with HIS OWN iconic line!
He could still be lying and it was a studio mandate.
But if it was him how gross that he wanted to use it for the exact same effect from Aliens, like WTF.
It was NEVER going to have the same effect, NEVER!
The young generation should go watch Aliens if they want the same impact we had in 1986.
The same effect???
Nope not even a little. I mean how could it. The situations were different and one was a set up for a battle and the other a throw away line.
I can’t for the life of me think of who would get pumped after that moment in Alien Romulus
Accept Khev and Crow maybe
