Aw c'mon stop taking everything so seriously.
Duh.

The A L I E N Franchise, not the ALIENS Franchise regardless.

Most stuff over the last 32 years has been published under the Aliens title ...

This is not a position I take personally, but I suspect Ridley privately does.  imo

I dislike the universe Aliens presents in contradistinction to Prometheus and Alien.

Gateway Station for instance, is that the view of what "normal" locations look like to James Cameron in the Alien-verse?
It's so dull. Partially because Aliens in particular has been emulated to the point of parody, by properties like Halo.

Hadley's Hope is spectacular it it's realization, for sure-
but I'm not as attracted to the film's concept of the future it presents as much as Alien.

One of my favourite sites.

For me the transition from Alien to Aliens is nearly seamless.

Cameron really knew what he was doing - the first chunk of Aliens does a good job emulating Scott's look and feel (the Narcissus salvage, the heated board room meeting, etc.), but once you see the Colonial Marines ship it becomes a full-fledged Cameron movie - and he's more than earned it.

I don't see it in anything beyond the Narcissus rescue, and even that has JC's colour palette all over it.

Local Trouble

I guess whoever Moebius'd the tech 57 years earlier kicked the bucket by then.

Xenomorphine

The Nostromo was pretty 'dull', too. Aesthetically speaking, it was basically a space-going oil rig. To me, the Sulaco, Hadley's Hope and Gateway Station fitted right in.

There's a lot of design similarities between Alien and Aliens. Ron Cobb worked on both films in which he designed the Nostromo and it's interiors as well as the Hadley's Hope colony, the Atmosphere Processor and some of the colonial marines' equipment including the Dropship in collaboration with Jim.

And then you also had Syd Mead (Blade Runner) designing the Sulaco, the APC, the initial drawings for Gateway and the powerloader etc. You can't go wrong with Syd!

Aliens is much closer design-wise to Alien than Prometheus or Covenant.
