What’s the point of this film?
Clearly no point for you. And that's OK. But there might be a point for other people.
Romulus was a moderate financial success, especially with IMAX, and it's placement in the timeline, within the current lore, opens up some fertile ground for new stories. We might even get some Colonial Marines showing back up, and if that's so, while that might end up being a hit or a miss, it could trigger the release of some 1/6th Colonial Marines again for our hobby, where some collectors would like to see a new opportunity beyond what Hot Toys made over 20 years ago.
Brother, you do you. That's OK with me. Love it or hate it or anything inbetween, that's all for you and your fandom. Or not. I'm not judging future Alien stuff on what it's not from the past, I'm leaving room to be pleasantly surprised. Like Billy Beane told David Justice in Moneyball. He's not paying for the player someone used to be, he's paying for the player that you are today. At minimum, the true bonus that people have here as collectors, is even if everything flops, we might get cool toys out of it.
