I admit I'm very tickled by the widely varying reactions I've seen to this. Twitter is really happy, a lot of happy responses on Facebook, with some blatant responses of people who didn't read the synopsis too, but seeing plenty of responses like you folk - and my first reaction was also that Ryan Reynolds gif from Two Guys and A Girl.
The franchise still has some goodwill from how wrong I was about Amanda Ripley, so I'm remembering to give this one a shot. But yeah, I hope this doesn't become a trend. I don't want to see legacy characters revisited - we're not Star Wars. It wont fly for that long. The recent attempts haven't been that great. The Hicks short from Bug Hunt was easily the worse in the book. Aftermath wasn't the strongest either.

I also think the sibling or relation stumbling across Aliens has been a bit overkill that said I did like the angle they took in Sea of Sorrows and how the Xenos could recognise the bloodline of Ripley - also didn't mind that empath connection Decker had to the hive. Not for everyone but I dug it.
I still think he should have been a descendent of Ripley 8. As much as I did actually enjoy the novel, it was a wasted opportunity.

They give us all this crap but they won't give us Morse's Star Beast . Outrageous
Now this would be something I'd be interested in 😎
Yeah, of all the characters in the series I'd actually like to see revisited - Morse is the easily the one I want the most.

When is Jones going to get his revenge on the Xenomorphs? For too long his story has gone untold! I demand a trilogy!
Jones did get his own book already... 🤷♂️
"Jonesy: nine lives on the nostromo"
I loved those little comic books they did. They really did lift my spirit.
