Imagine that you had an unlimited budget to fix this franchise. What do you do?

Buy every copy of Alien 3, Resurrection, Prometheus, Covenent, and all the AVP movies. Destroy them.

only one of these replies was any good and it was mine

You have the monumental task of undoing Prometheus. I dunno how the fuck you do it. Like make the Engineers out to be Replicant type things put there to terraform a planet in advance and they found a Space Jockey ship and decided to be their own gods. And then somehow tie it into a corporate conspiracy where the company pretended the Engineers were aliens that created mankind. I dunno. I'm just spitballing. It's not easy.

Alien 3 is kino and the perfect ending to the Ripley trilogy.

They are Easter egg level details

I'd hire Blomkamp do that planned reboot they had going before Covenant, but I'd also beat him up every time he had the idea to shoehorn his god-awful social commentary in, and try to keep things around the District 9 level of social commentary.

Prometheus was shit and half of what killed the franchise

>reboot
Fuck that. They need to avoid a reboot like the plague with this franchise. As much as Prometheus killed the franchise a reboot would just finish it off forever. You cannot reboot a classic film with a 41 year long cultural legacy. It's impossible. Plus if Blomkamp was to be involved it should only be for visual effects. He's great at that. Script and story he is terrible. And his idea was basically just Aliens 2.

>I'd pay other producers ransoms to not make Alien movies.

A hero emerges.

Make a game with the same plot and characters of alien vs predator arcade game.

I'd either adapt Alien Isolation to a miniseries on HBO or adapt AvP2 to one.

buy the film rights in total, and then seal them forever. let the series die.

This, desu. Though it's more of a David-trilogy and Covenant was the better movie. Those movies are flawed, but I think they have some level of soul, and just abandoning it would leave deeper scar than Resurrection's existence. Plus, the black goo accelerant isn't a bad addition to the lore.

Make the scope much larger. Like Starship Troopers but with Aliens.

A few set pieces with Marines clearing out a few hives, Earth gets infested and a quarantine, etc.

This. Fuck Aliens-only niggers.

Just because they are well made from a technical perspective it doesn't absolve them of the sin of taking a well grounded series and turning it into some retarded Star Trek style sci-fi fantasy.

Buy the rights lock, stock and barrel, then withdraw everything after Alien 3 from distribution and destroy the masters.

Why the fuck did Ridley go down the retarded "ancient aliens" root in the most anticipated prequel in cinema history? Of all the directions he could have took he selected probably the most ridiculous one possible.

That's not an answer to question you imbeciles. Letting something continue to rot is not fixing it.

David was kino. I'm curious what his endgame is.

>You were warned about this, Bloomfy. YOU WERE WARNED

I agree. David was great. The fundamental problem with the prequels is the Engineers. Why in the name of fuck did Ridley do that? It's SyFy channel-tier nonsense. They need to find a way of retconning the Engineer part but keep the David story arc like

Accepting that it has a beginning, a middle and an end isn't letting it "rot."

Because he isn't an auteur, he's just a stylist. There's a difference.

Engineers were basically Shoggoths, created by something else, truly alien. They were either left behind, survived some extinction event or rebelled against their creators. The black goo is actually some sort of seed for everything the original creators did, perhaps a 'hollow' version of themselves. The engineer facility in Prometheus was an engie offshoot of loyalists that wanted their creators back, trying to create their original forms, but lacking their programming or 'soul'. The engie with a giger-bodysuit is a modified rebel engie that went there to exterminate the loyalists. The suit exists so that they can interface with their creators' giger-tech, keeping the pilot-construct canon without having to shoddily retcon Prometheus either. Also leaving sensible explanation why engie ships look giger, while the mainstream engie-population lives in stone buildings.

Alien, aliens, then a movie about newt.

Why the fuck didn’t you write the prequels?

What business does this nonsense have a in series about blue collar workers in space finding a monster?

I prefer the Blade Runner tie in idea with the Engineers being Replicants sent forward by Tyrell/Wallace and the whole "oooh it's alien gods" things being a ploy to bankrupt Weyland.

i would Adapt the "Fire and Stone" Comics, and make a TV Series with it.

That’s not to shabby either

Yes, just make it an even bigger more inane crossover. What could go wrong?

That’s where Ridley fucked up, he overstepped himself. He figure he could explain all this shit well enough to satisfy the non brainlets, but he failed.

>the best ideas have gone
>ZERO alternate history movies involving terminators/predators/aliens
I disagree. Would love a tremors 4 style cowboys vs aliens movie.
Not like that cowboys vs aliens movie.

Ridley fucked up the one part of the series that was perfect and did not need any further explanation

Attached: alien-prometheus-spacejockeycomparison2.jpg (1280x765, 291.43K)

I dunno... Ridley Scott went in the right direction but the execution sucked. I would probably ignore everything past aliens and make a direct sequel to it with recasts of the survivors. They return to Earth which is partly fucked because of an alien outbreak caused by Burke who “somehow” returned. Make it another pure action movie with a couple of horror and suspense scenes. Then end the film with the cast headed to where the engineers might be and do that plot proper

Thanks for saying the exact thing I said seconds after I said it. High five.

I was agreeing with you. Solidarity, brother.

I didn't watch anything after Resurrection. Just how bad are the prequels?

Sigourney Weaver space opera where her clone from Resurrection travels to different colony worlds infected by xenos.

Alien vs Predator vs Terminator

Imma fix all 3 nigga

I realized after I posted that, that I sounded like a dick, sorry bro.

Alien vs. The Thing vs. Terminator vs. Predator.

Who wins?

They're annoying in the sense that technically they are well made, but the overarching story is retarded. It's like a weird combination of great ideas and talent and terrible script writing and story telling. As stand alone movies unrelated to Alien they would be a lot better.

Stop.
Just stop dude

>Imagine that you had an unlimited budget to fix this franchise. What do you do?
Get Fincher to remake Alien 3, have Newt and Hick's killed off again. The series ends here.

Well it obviously comes down to the thing and the terminator.

No problem. Have some Daddario.

This or something similar to it is the only way it can be salvaged. You can't undo the shit that has been shat since Aliens but you can do a branching story after Alien or Aliens that ignores all that shit.

After Alien 3 you mean.

An unlimited budget? I'd send a Terminator back in time to stop any sequels after Aliens.

No, after Aliens. Alien 3 was an abortion at release and continues to be an abortion all these years later.

Alien > Covenant > Prometheus > Aliens > Alien 3 > Alien Rez

Alien 3 is garbage.

A three hour prequel to Covenant detailing all of David’s experiments on Shaw.

Build a time machine and prevent a franchise from happening, and leave it as just a one-off perfect movie

Never reply to one of my posts again.

Seriously. You have to spam praises for that piece of shit every alien thread. Over and over.
When people tell you it's shit, and even the director hates it (and no, the assembly is a fucking mess), you just insist and samefag.

Rent free

Alien and aliens works because both are great movies from different genres in the same timeline. Should have kept doing that.

>rehashing shit will save the franchise
Yeah user Force Awakens was so refreshing it was just like my favorite Stah Wahs movie
