Except that no director in their right mind will pick up after A:R.
No director in their right mind would make a prequel trilogy, either, right? lol.

People don't care about that timeline or those characters.
I guess fans of the fourth movie aren't permitted to have opinion in your eyes, hey.

Nobody is asking to retread those old film patterns from Alien and Aliens.
What are you expecting in terms of 'the ending Ripley deserves' then? Ripley's happy snaps of family holidays on the beach with Hicks and Newt? Ripley and Hicks walking arm in arm into the sunset? A house in the suburbs..? A nice cozy retirement villa on the Gold Coast..? A nice phat pay out from the company for all of her hardships..? Wut. Do. You. Want? ? ? ?
Quote from: Perfect-Organism on Sep 03, 2016, 03:52:54 AMPeople just want a continuation with the characters they want to see on screen. The characters in which they have a vested interest.
What vested interest? I have a vested interested in appreciating all 4 movies the way they are, warts and all. There's more to be gained from
adding to that rather than disowning half of the series to accommodate a needless retcon in order to shoe horn a few deceased characters back to life...
So they can have the ending they deserve..? Ripley gets a 'Get off Jail' free card. What a cop out. lol For me, that's Respect for a great character, instantly lost as far as I am concerned.
Quote from: Perfect-Organism on Sep 03, 2016, 03:52:54 AMYou have no idea what Blomkamp's script calls for, so why blame him for something he didn't do?
Good. Let's keep it that way. Unless, of course, he decides that the whole retcon nonsense really is the stupid idea that it actually is and he ditches Ripley Newt and Hicks. That would be an ideal start and a step in a
responsible direction respectful to the series as a whole and not just 'fan servicing' to a particular segment of the series.
All or nothing, Mr. Blomkamp. This 'picking the eyes out' of the series is just
irresponsible and disrespectful not just to many, many fans but the
series overall. If you can't put a story together that doesn't need a retcon, maybe you should go make something else instead.
