Egg on Sulaco

I would be a little pissed off if the Disney alien series started off with Ripley waking up from a dream, I'd expect something a little more than that.

Disney love lame ideas! Of course they wouldn't shy away from having A3 be a dream.

Sometimes the easiest answer is the best solution. 
Humans often overlook the obvious.
It's in our nature.

The obvious answer is have new characters without Ripley. Why try and fix something that doesn't need fixing?

Ridley understands this.

Ridley ruined the mystery of the beast. 
He didn't understand when to stop fixing if it's not broke.

Vermillion's self-loathing is depressing.

Ridley can't even understand what the heck he wants to do with the series. He will forget what he did in Covenant and pull some retcons in the next.

Maybe it's the same as with the recent star wars movies, I've heard people say there was no plan with those either, I'd be surprised if that were true though.

The cousin Magneto doesn't know about?

I can understand how knowing more about the origins of the xenomorph removes mystery but I'd take that over retconning entire movies and having Ripley/Newt/Hicks back.

Plus I think theres still an argument to be had about exactly what damage has been done to the mystery, going by what we see in the prequels.

[Local Trouble]

Despite whatever problems you had, at least you killed off Ripley and gave Fox an opportunity to continue the franchise without her.

[Alien³]

I didn't kill her off. She offed herself.

[HuDaFuK]

I think the prequels had the right idea - take the series in a different direction - it's just a shame they botched them so badly.

[Local Trouble]

Barring their well-known flaws, I think the prequels would have made better sequels to Alien 3.

[Vermillion]

I should of listen to you Local. 
And made sequels.

[Local Trouble]

You could always make the third prequel into a sequel to Aliens and turn Alien 3 into a dream like you always wanted to.

You can't reach a consensus without Riddles.
