All this crap because they got to have geriatric Ellen Ripley in a movie. Why can't they have a new story,new characters in the same timeline? have WY send an expedition to another place where aliens were found, or where some Space Jockey stuff is, They only have to reference stuff that happened in Alien,Aliens and A3 and can even tie it to events in Prometheus and P2?
Now i'm kinda bummed with the Iron Man movies too. I need that shit retconed cause Iron Man 2 sucked ass. Come to think of it keep only the first one canon but have Obediah survive, this way they ignore the second and third movies. This way we can have a proper Mandarin too.
. While we're at it, retcon the matrix movies too, and Quantum of SOLACE cause it sucked ass and write a proper sequel to Casino Royale.
Now what i want to know is after this Alien movie will the next director have free reign if he does the right pitch? Maybe he has the right idea and he also needs to ignore previous stuff. Cause f**k it right, it's acceptable now.
Anyways i can't wait for them to explain grandma Ripley waking up old. Let me guess, all the cryo-tubes had a malfunction so Ripley, Hicks and Newt all aged. They didn't have nourishment to facilitate the aging process, but hey they just got older. FML
