They may think others blind sheep for following popular narratives on social media, but they will think that their own change of opinion on e.g. the new Star Wars movie was entirely their own.
I blame the internet
Many times fans (not just fans even, anyone, anyone at all) post their opinions so quickly and so easily that the opinions themselves take on a life of their own. Each point of view develops a concentrated faction of adherents before people take the time to consider what's being said. Instead, we start scanning social media posts for ready-made opinions we can import as our own. (Not that anyone here is guilty of that, and certainly not me )

I'll leave this quote by Paul Anderson:
"If you work with a subject matter beloved by a hardcore fanbase, then there's going to be a huge amount of discussion of what you've got wrong or right. In some ways you can never please overly obsessive fans, it's just impossible."
Difficult, but by no means impossible...

It revived it because a lot of people liked it.

Nonsense, nobody watched or cared for AvP:R, it's completely irrelevant.
AVPR was just the nail in the coffin. The series ended 25 years ago. A:R, while I like the film, turned it into a comedy. Then along came AVP which made it juvenile.
Prometheus did revive the franchise, say what you will about it.

AVP:R made over three times it's budget, and another $40 million on home media. Plenty of people cared for it.
As far as the xeno goes in the Covenant sequel, I don't mind if they include it or not.
