I'd take it over another rehash of "Xenos get on a ship" or boring AI plots. I don't mind AI plots taking focus, but like, actually make me give a crap. This Diet Data-meets-Frankenstein poo poo isn't compelling.

Ehud posted:Disney, huh? That's actually true. hmm... I want more Aliens and I'm not happy with the 2 new movies. I don't like the direction they took, the acting wasn't great, and I just flat up didn't like the stories. Disney makes solid movies for the masses and will probably dumb it down for the average movie goer. And yeah, a PG-13 Aliens is just.... heresy. Does Disney even make R movies?

Have both Jasper Paakkonen in a movie where the former is playing a robot/synthetic version of Michael Biehn and they duke it out in the end. Or a time-travel movie like Looper.

After what Disney did with Marvel, I’m okay with then taking a crack at Aliens. Worst case is we get the Star Wars treatment, which has been several great TV shows and a bunch of movies I found entertaining at the very least, which is more than I can say of Fox’s treatment of the franchise over the last 8 years. I’d love to see a Blomkamp-directed Aliens: Labyrinth, though. That would be loving crazy.

TBH doing the Late 90's Dark Horse kitchen sink crossover Aliens Vs. Predator Vs. RoboCop Vs. Frankenstien Vs. The Mummy thing with the properties they are Blobbing up would at least be delightfully self-aware schlock instead of the mostly joyless schlock of their Star Wars films.

This is basically my opinion. I'm a sucker for superhero movies and I think they did a good job with them. Cinematic masterpieces? No, but fun and entertaining. If they bring more people into the Alien universe then good. Maybe they'll then watch Alien and Aliens and see the true light.

I was trying to look this up and came upon some disappointing news, https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/577298/extraterrorestrial-alien-encounter-scariest-walt-disney-world-ride quote:By that point, Disney had already spent eight years developing the ride, which was meant to be the showpiece of Tomorrowland's $100 million makeover. It frightened early test-riders—the Orlando Sentinel reported people screaming over the dialogue and running for the exit—but Eisner felt the ride wasn't scary enough. Instead of clearing it to open later that month as planned, he ordered the park’s designers (also known as Imagineers) to shut it down and ramp up the intensity. Goddamn suits, would have been sweet.

Just give us a Colonial Marines TV series following a platoon from misadventure to misadventure across backwater colonies and stuff. Have them gleefully blasting their way through every problem from putting down space worker's strikes, scoring with Arcturians or exterminating space cockroaches. Culminate the whole thing with an encount with actual xenos and them getting their asses kicked in a horrific fashion.

Anthology style Aliens/Predator Power Hour long exploring different time periods and protagonists. Napoleon Vs Predator episode. Stranded USCM/UPP soldier vs Alien Enemy Mine episode. Alien Vs Aztecs. Synthetic revolt abetted by Predators. The mix and match possibilities could give you ten seasons.

When the lights cut out & it was complete darkness after the creature escaped, there wails of crying children was amazing. Add the seats moving & a little air nozzle behind your head to simulate the alien breathing down your neck, you get a  moment.

I think that Alien: Isolation could be adapted into a movie without too much mangling. Amanda Ripley, stranded on the crippled Sevastapol station, deals with hostile synthetics, paranoid groups of survivors, and the ever-lurking threat of the xeno, while she uses her wits, engineering skills, and bravery to stay alive. You've got this perfect self-contained story, complete with references forwards and backwards in the Alien timeline, and it could reestablish the creeping horror and suspense of the first movie. But, I'm sure somebody would gently caress it up by shoving a romance subplot in there.

I enjoyed Alien: Isolation but I'm gonna be real with you, thread. I wish it had been about anyone other than Amanda Ripley. Leave the fated bloodlines and dynastic heroism to Star Wars.
