Work on the Sequels Stopped?

[Jonesy1974]

Personally, I think the best way to make lemonade eight the footage that was shot would be:

1. All of the footage filmed for virals remain as virals. No opening with Weyland.
2. Open the movie on the Covenant with Walter.
3. The flashback is 12 minutes long and has all of the Shaw stuff.

You also had great input about the editing. Didn't mean to exclude you. I don't know the best way to make lemonade, but I'm sure there is enough footage to do something more than was done. It's unfortunate.

No way would I ever remove the weyland opening, it's one of the best scenes across either of the prequels and some of the most intelligent dialogue too.

@bb-15: Let's agree to disagree about this.

I agree. I'd leave that alone. Though, like I mentioned before I'd add back those 12 minutes with Shaw since their pivotal to the film.

I hope they get to finish this series. My wish would be ending the prequels in a way that neatly sets up Alien. For example, putting the eggs onboard the alien spacecraft and exploring what the distress call was all about.

One thing for all of you to ponder on: what if sped-up properties of impregnation came as a result of eggs being directly subjected to accelerant by David as opposed to eggs we know from Alien which might be Xeno-made?

What if every subsequent Xeno born within their own life-cycle was genetically inferior and dilluted version of the "Xeno zero" (which enjoys the benefits of the accelerant the most) that was artificially created by David.

While I don't necessarily agree with the second part of that theory, something ADF mentioned in the novelization was that David has deliberately sped up the life cyle. That's something I could buy into.

I think it has less to do with knowing some people like it and more to do with the fact that it has some glaring flaws

That again though is just down to the eye of the beholder. I think it has a few minor flaws but think the good far outweighs them and don't believe it has any glaring ones.

To be told this is just because I'm 'eating it up, yum yum, is incredibly insulting, ignorant and arrogant.

And sadly predictable.

Some people are incapable or liking or not liking it, without slagging off the opposing view.

Yes, It's perfectly reasonable to blame Ridley if the film isn't satisfying to you. So long as you're not saying he's senile or lost it and crap like that then I think it's valid to question the decisions he's made.

Either the films you're cuppa tea or it's not, it's that simple really.

Indeed. Look guys, it makes me sad that I have to come on here and play school teacher so often. We're supposed to be adults. Why are so many of you incapable of acting like that? If you can't disagree respectfully or maturely, just don't interact.
