    You don't. It should have been two parts. Part 1 demystified the creature as single entity, part 2 shows it as a hive insect. The threat should have been neutralized by blowing up the planet, which should have been their place of origin, and that's it.

    Very simple:

    1. introduce a new threat, an even scarier alien virus/mutation discovered on a different planet.

    2. make the alien virus spread on earth, go full out on the zombie apocalypse idea except with aliens. Make it play in the future so humans have a chance, kinda like Halo.

    3. make the aliens gain human intelligence and build ships and weapons like in Warhammer 40k with the tyranids. Humans see a huge fleet of alien tyranid ships approaching and hastily build as many weapons and ships as possible.

            well yeah, it's scorched earth. Only for enemies too hard to kill otherwise. Maybe that's why they were made, they were fighting a superior force or maybe they have a genetic off switch. ("after 5000 generations, they start having defects and die off naturally")

        i must disagree anon, the mystery and confusion makes for much better monsters, as soon as you start explaining them and adding to "the lore" you make them less scary, and boring

        That's movies 1 and 2.
        The only fixable part is forgetting the rest of them.

        might as well say there should've only been one western because how many times can you redo cowboys and indians?
        you dont even need to perfectly recycle because the alien lore allows for different monsters: it's presumed that aliens take on some of the morphology of the host, thus with a human host the alien is four-legged, somewhat bipedal
        of course this is what happens in alien 3, but that was a good movie

          That's just an excuse for bad writers who can't come up with ideas, however yes the way to do it would be to have a LOTR and Warhammer level of lore waiting hidden in the background, but it's never suppose to be released to the public, you only show bits and pieces of it and the audience is suppose to put on their detective caps and figure it out. That's 90% of the fun of /x/ stuff.
          Even if you'd show to the audience stuff they would have no idea what the hell are they staring at.

They have sex multiple times a day. But they can't have children so she bio modifies her body to become more human. Now they can have children and start a new happy life.

        Species 3 kinda came close to a benevolent alien with a happy ending, but the college bio scientist kid left them infertile.
        I rewatched the quadrology and there's a lot fewer sex scenes than I remember in it. Species 3 & 4 sucked even worse than Alien 3 & 4 when 1 & 2 already sucked ass and Hitman drove circles around it. Just like The Thing drives circles around Alien and Species. Unfortunately The Thing has no memorable design, it's just a mass of blob which often takes human or dog form.

      >some sort of new twist
      This is the reason it fails. They try too hard to make "le epic twist" that people don't see coming and it ends up completely devaluing the original monster and what made it cool and scary. It's especially true of Predator.

      With Alien Resurrection it was the Hybrid.
      With Predators it was the Bigger Predator
      With The Predator it was the DNA merging Autism hunt

      These movies have a formula that works already and just needs to be applied to different circumstances, but then the problem with this is that you're just rehashing the original and it becomes predictable, so the solution is to just not bother at all and enjoy the originals for what they are.

      If you want some homosexual twist or massive exposition on their background or origin then just make a new fricking movie that's completely unrelated and if your idea is good it will stand up on its own without having to lean on a preexisting franchise to get people to see it.

      The AvP crossover was the only way they could have kept it interesting but they did a shit job of both movies with crappy effects, shit writing, bobble-head Predators, retconning lore and soap-tier human drama.

      Just adapt the AvP comics if you fricking have to do anything and let it rest.

    I recently rewatched Prometheus and Covenant. What honestly surprised me is how well Prometheus has aged and how terrible Covenant is.

    I think the main reason is that we all know "what" the xenomorph is and does. Were not shocked anymore at facehuggers and spooky jumpscares with the xeno. Meanwhile Prometheus, despite its flaws, has alot of mystery and fear of the unknown. You know that its somewhat related, but cant really tell what is gonna happen. It worked. Covenant was just the next run of the mill monster movie.

    So how do you fix the franchise? Either you change the genre (like Aliens did) and make it an action film. Or you make it a survival film set in a different plant (Crew crashlands on an unknown planet and must survive not only xenomorphs, but also other native lifeforms.) Or you go back to the roots and somehow tie the story to Weyland-Yutani. Either by setting it on earth, some moon-lab or even another prequel/sequel not related to the engineer/Alien 3 storylines.

    I genuinely thought the premise of AvP was a great idea and enjoyed the films. They should have expanded on the alien/predator hybrid that burst through the dead predator's chest at the end of requiem.

    Of course it would take some who is actually talented to write that kind of script and create an interesting story, which hollyisraelite doesnt have.

    You want a good story? First you need to hire a scifi to write a book, someone like Neal Asher. You need the book first because someone who is a wold builder first to set the scene. Screenwriters are terrible at this with very few exceptions. All they generally do is cannibalize an established fictional universe, not create them. They use the same tried tropes and gut the entire story to get the character and fanbase and focus solely on 1.5 hours of shit tier action flick.

    Simple, stop doing it. Get a good writer to create the Universe and new characters and get an entire established lore and world created THEN you can do what you always and turn it to shit, but at least there will be something to turn to shit, not start out from get as a pile of shit.

    Star Wars didnt get its deep lore and Universe from Lucas, it was the EU writers that created it all. If you let so,e talented authors have a crack at the Aliens IP then you get the benefit of first profit sharing with them anything they produce and secondly exclusive rights to cannibalize it into your shitty film. It is a no lose situation.

    So the tldr, stop letting hack droolers try to write "original" scripts and let someone who is actually creative and talented build the world and story THEN you can let your hacks attempt to adapt it to the big screen.

        yah I agree they were shitty, but the idea was great and it carried me through the shit films. The first one especially was an AMAZING premise that had the potential to be epic as the first pred or first aliens, go down in cinematic history, but they screwed the pooch unfortunately. It can be redeemed however if they get a good scifi author to first build the Universe outside of a shitty movie script.

          The problem is that Alien 1 was a masterpiece. From futuristic tech/setting, to the premise to the acting. Aliens was a typical Cameron action film with incredible set designs, probs and overall feel of the colonial marines being believable. Some people dont like the Queen, I love the idea.

          The problem with AVP and AVP2 is that theyre both closer to Predator than to Alien imo. Theyre both mindless action flicks with 0 quality. Nothing they did was groundbreaking, nor was it well executed. Theyre mindless R-rated fun. Nothing more.

      actually I misspoke here too. The alien didnt bust thought the pred's chest in requiem, it did it in the first one, then second film completely abandoned this which was fricking stupid. I imagine most people were waiting to see that expanded on then the studio did a completel u-turn and abandoned it which probably put a sour taste in everyone's mouth who gave a shit about it. Hire Neal Asher to write a book and build the predator home world Universe and story that starts at the end of the first AVp movie. They take the alien back tot heir homeworld or something like that. Not only do you get a great movie but now you dont have to be limited to the sitty movies you made for sequels. You will have something that is actually good for future sequels to build off of

        Black person you're moronic. The entire plot of the second one was the hybrid infecting the shit out of the town.

    Just do the Earth War story line from the comics and show how hellish earth would be when some place like Bangladesh goes full infestation mode.

    An i misremembering or when aliens take over a place with billions of humans they can farm the humans to some extent? The humans eating goo provided by the aliens and being sort of mindless and dumbed down did i make that up?

    Just make the goddamn sequel to Alien:Isolation already. Or let the same team adapt Aliens and Alien 3 the same way they did the first movie in DLC. I'd wager they could get some really hellish locations out of A3 setting.

    Why save it. There's nothing terribly unique or scary about the creature anymore, not after 40 years of copycats. Most people think the only good ones are the first two. The ''mythology'' of the recent films is a jumbled mess nobodies cares about anyway: who made these creatures what are the engineers?!?!? who gives a shit.

    the magic is long gone, at this point they are like classic Hollywood monsters like Frankenstein or Wolf Man.

      Pretty much this. Its the problem of the simple-premise monster, the more we know about them the less interesting they usually become. There were some interesting concepts in Prometheus, especially David being alive in Covenant and doing his own thing. But the movie was honestly bogged down by forcing the alien stuff in there, like all that shit just to show where a xeno came from in the most convoluted way that doesnt even make sense.
      Sequels of these movies should have focused on good actors/characters trying to survive the xenos in different situations while keeping the monsters as mysterious as possible, but even then they probably wouldnt be as good as the original films.

    Turn outbreak into a movie. Go whole hog too, incorporate Prometheus and Blade Runner into it. The Alien cult, the replicants who at this point don't know they're human, it's all ripe for a hella good movie.

    Then the next movie we can get an Aliens running apeshit over earth, the company trying to weaponize them, the fight to take back earth, etc. We can even add in Jeri, one of the most beloved characters from the comic

    Honestly just reboot AvP and set it around the time of the first two Alien movies, while making the events of the first two Predator movies canon. Seeing high-tech Colonial jarheads cleaning up corporate messes on exotic worlds while also having to deal with the occasional Predator incursion would be kino as frick, especially if they kept the whole Syd Mead 80s futurism aesthetic with all the bulky computers and utilitarian environment designs

    >How do we fix the Alien franchise?
    A properly done Alien and Predator merger plot points:

    1) Retcon the idea that the heads of human military and science were already copying the Predators in the film Aliens in that they planted both the queen xeno and the terraforming colonists then sent in the military "trial participants".

    2) Show the existence of one or more human controlled exoplanet game hunting reserves similar to that of of the Yautja's shown in Predators. Then show the Predators finding one and covertly observing humans performing their own "hunts".

    3) Finally show that the Engineers were covertly spying on the Yautja covertly spying on the humans doing their hunts.

    4) Engineers finally team up with the Yautja and humans to Big Reveal the meaning of the black goo and the xenos.

    5) Sequel bait post credits.

    Maybe go back to the roots of the original films involving the original characters like Ripley, Newt and Hicks. If you can't do that at least continue Ripley's story after Resurrection. The original story was far more interesting than what Scott made with Prometheus. A battle torn earth overrun with Aliens sounds fantastic.

    That guy that was going to do the original Alien 3 probably had the right idea. Turning the alien into an incarnation of evil in the eyes of hermit monks and Weaver being like Pandora who has caused their destruction. It would be an actual exploration of faith in the unknown expanse of the cosmos and how it survives unlike prometheus.

                The first alien was inquisitive and suspicious. Watching and waiting before attacking. The ones in Aliens are moronic cousins.

                The first Alien was alone and outnumbered.
                The hive is a hive with a Queen they need to protect. This behavior is present in hive-animals IRL and is even emphasised for our slower viewers when they don't kill Ripley because she is threatening the Queen.

                They changed a lot about the Alien in the sequel, and the first movie definitely better, but to say they're just "dumb animals" is not an argument and just makes you look like a fricking idiot.

    I'm confident the franchise could be saved with the right talent but only after Disney fails again and the IP is beyond dead and buried. All we get until then is "good enough" fan re-edits.

    Accept that about 80-90% of the EU is actually decent and a better foundation to work from than the movies.

    This is what people don't seem to grasp - the EU is better than the films. Alien and Aliens were great seeds to much greener things and should be left alone rather than hackishly aped over and over. Just look at Star Wars - they did this in terms of Rogue 1.

    They could do the same for Aliens. Dark Horse comics did a pretty decent job with the IP and no one really has any major complaints with what they've produced.

    In addition:

    >A 1-2-1 translation of Cold Forge to the big screen. It's an awesome story that would translate into a great 1-shot self contained Alien film.

    >Earth War would make a solid setting for multiple films (maybe a quad).
