I don't care whether or not Ridley thinks he knows what's best of the franchise, I just enjoy his vision and interpretation of the original creature and AI. And guess what, it's totally fine to dislike it. Just don't try to force it down everyone's throats that they're terrible films without any merit, it's a waste of time.

Mandalorian as I said 2 pages ago is ina way retconing the trilogy and bringing back the expanded lore to please the hardcore fans and nerds who made star wars big, it wasnt ever for the causual person from the start
No one is going to chase down those who love the prequels, especially me. That would be cannibalism. At the end of the day, Noah Hawley is going to capture his own vision of Alien, just as young Ridley (
Alien) and grandpa Ridley (
Promy & Covi) have done in the past...like the others; Jim, Fincher and that freench guy. We just have to wait and see.
I think times are not so bad. Years ago we thought that the franchise would be frozen for at least 5 years or more, until Disney decided what to do with it. Now we have Marvel Comics, Titan's book
that I don't buy but I'm glad anyone else is reading them , a video game ans a TV show in the way.
So far they have kept the black goo or whatever you want to call it, plus the typical protoforms you might expect: hammerpede, abomination, Neos and mount Rushmore bald people edition. All of that is canon under Disney's rule.
Don't you find it canonically pleasing when your canon is recognized by Daddy Disney as true canon? Well I do. And do you know why? Because I like the prequels believe it or not. I'm willing to embrace Disney's Western Imperialism just for that.
And so far the only worrying thing is David's future. I don't know about you
Kradan but I'm dying inside to have a conclusion.
For three main reasons:
1 ~ I like Ridley's vision.
2 ~ Always dreamed of a live-action story in which the Derelict, or something relative would be part.
3 ~ I want to know how everything connects, if you take that away from me it would be like Lucas doing his prequels until episode 2. I guess I could use my...
But it wouldn't be the same and I really want to contemplate this completely
And so far I can assure you one thing ☝...I'm always going to enjoy old Alien movies no matter how the prequels end. It's like an anthology of styles and visions, from
Prometheus to
Resurrection, and that makes it special. 😉💜
Edit
~ If you don't agree with me, that's fine. We should all love each other regardless of our opinions.
