Winde also specified in the same post that he likes Saturday morning cartoons and that there's nothing wrong with liking kid's shows. In no way was he being condescending.
His point is not to confuse the tropes from a cartoony franchise where everything's fair and dandy, to a dark and gritty adult oriented pseudo-realistic franchise like Alien which sends the message of how unfair and vulnerable life really is.
Not a lot of film series kill off their main characters. The Predator franchise has yet to kill off a main protagonist lol. Alien had the guts to do it even after several films to say "hey guys, this is how real life basically works... when you give it nightmare steroids."
Bringing back dead characters is just lazy writing. Why not make new ones? Why not make them similar to Hicks and Ripley? A lot of people in real life have similar personalities and skills etc. Why not do that? There's seven billion humans as of 2016, who knows how many there are in 2122 and then 2179 and whenever Alienkamp is set.
You guys ever meet someone and think "oh my God, we are SO alike!"
There's
TONS of RIpleys and Hicks and Newts in Alien era humanity... they have yet to find an Alien first. Some people forget that the human race is comprised of many individuals, some of which are totally badass.
This is Mankind vs Alien, not one person constantly finding and surviving a civilization ending monstrosity.
Prometheus showed that, Covenant will show that, Isolation showed that, the mountains of books, comics, games have showed that, even the Predator has showed that with the amount of humans that have faced monsters from other worlds.
What if some director in the future came forth and said he will retcon Aliens because "it has too much of a different theme and didn't give Ripley a proper ending and turned her into an action heroine instead of a survivor?" Then I bet some would finally understand the struggle.
