There's very few sequels that take the original concept and build/Improve on it in every single way. Usually it's just a remake of the first film. The sophomore slump.
I would pass a law making it illegal for anyone to make any sort of artwork using the same monster, characters, or which relates in any way, however tangentially, to the finest motion picture ever made and thereby sullying and diminishing its greatness. When such works are found to have been produced, they would be seized, confiscated, and destroyed, and their existence would be purged from the historical memory.
If it got made in the late 80s like originally planned it probably would have looked visually good, like the first 2 films. Not sure how some of the scenes involving the new way the alien comes out of it's host could have looked pre cgi. Probably one of the reasons it got shelved.
>What would you do with this franchise if only the first movie existed?
Nothing much tbh...
Alien and Alien 2 are good the way they are.
I would remake Alien 3 to make more sense, and junk Alien Resurrection.
Prometheus and Covenant would focus more on Engineer lore.
Whatever Romulus is going to be, hopefully it will connect the prequel movies to the first movie finally. And perhaps elaborate more Weyland Corp's knowledge about the Aliens.
I would've made the Alien hyper-intelligent and lean into how ridiculously gross it could've been instead of making it a big ant. Alien 2 would be a loose adaptation of Aliens: Labyrinth, then Alien 3 would be a more horror focused Aliens. End it with the original version of Alien 3, kill Ripley with no clone bs, and then convince the courts to change copyright law to make it illegal to make content featuring the xenomorph for a hundred years.
expand on the biomechanical nature of it. Like the original concept of it morphing some of its victims into new eggs in its makeshift nest
next movie would take place on another completely alien planet that had more biomechanical constructs beyond the jockey ship or xenos for the humans to find. Planet itself would be completely uninhospitable with extreme temperatures and pressures that kill humans instantly without bulky insulation suits. No more helmet off bullshit
as for the constructs think hr giger: the paintings: the movie
A Hicks against Xenos movie in the vein of Mad Max or something in some desolate colony and with some cute colonist waifu would be PREMIUM kino even if I'm a huge ripleygay. What a horrible missed opportunity.
I would just get Cameron to make Aliens exactly the same and make Alien 3 and base the whole franchise of his style which was based and enjoyable as frick. >inb4 seething scottcucks and what about muh reddit slow burn atmospheric horror
You're all wrong and fricking gay. Cheers.
I had only seen the avp movies recently put alien on .
total snoozefest. couldn't even jack it to the lead dyke. so I would add breasts big breasts to the cast and xenomorps.
the aliens would only go for the colored folk and shoot acid from their alien wieners
The first movie is a simple horror movie so I would keep it simple.
Keep the 4 acts, keep the group of human survivors, keep the rich management buttholes vs poor employees angle, keep the hidden android idea that movie watchers have to guess. I think it would have been nice to have less lore and less budget, instead of the franchise they made. Now it's too big and the writers soft locked themselve.
I would create a marvel style quipfest and turn them into generic bug monsters that die with one bullet. Also the cast constantly throw jokes at each other like a marvel movie and add a strong female character. And I forgot, the title is called aliens. Not alien 2.
Id make it so that each sequel has an entirely different alien species that kills people in different horrific / sexual ways. That way the audience has no clue how it’s going to happen until it starts happening
Aliens was kino but it was also the death knell for the franchise. The horror of the alien is that its “alien,” unknown. The second you put a hundred of them on screen and make them into giant ants it ruins the dread. Adding a new monster each film would at least keep things interestinf.
Based and anthology pilled. Imagine having like 3 or 4 totally iconic creatures instead of just one. Only problem is it would have filtered the everloving shit out of people like Halloween 3 did
Maybe make the alien's body crash into a populated ship like a space cruise ship, or have it smack into some space garbage or a rock and then land on a human colony. There would be no obvious references to the first movie like Ripley etc. It would rapidly lose its iconic form and adapt to a new but roughly similar one as to keep up the novelty factor.
My girlfriend watched Alien for the first time recently and she refuses to watch any of the follow up movies to not tarnish her good memories of the first one.
Aliens was a good film. You can dislike that it is a different genre to the original, but you can't claim it was objectively bad like every other alien film after it.
I would have made a movie exactly like Alien Isolation. It gets a different protagonist that is still related to the previous survivor. It maintains the look and feel of Alien but moves it into a new and interesting area. It expands on the universe introducing other competing organizations. And still has the singular xeno being scary like fans of the original enjoyed
Make Prometheus again 1:1 just for the lulz.
NOT MAKE A FRICKING FRANCHISE.
making Aliens
tpbp
This, why would you choose not to make bank on a hyper successful guaranteed homerun movie

they tried that with Alien 2: On Earth, they failed
War of the Worlds in a cyberpunk city.
Do everything the same up to alien 3. Then buy Darkhorse and reboot if necessary but just turn the comics into movies. Earthwar is a 6 hour epic.
I guess I would explore other human factions outside of Weyland-Yutani. Explore how humanity is divided and how they react to xenomorphs.
>factions
It's just a corporation
I wonder what Alien 3 would have looked like with Gibson's script with these guys.

A sequel with a ten minute long sex scene with the Xenomorph at the climax of the film
>Whet would you do with this franchise if only the first movie existed?
>Predator vs Alien (over you)
make them frickable and make porn and get banned for eternal
Do? Nothing,

Make Aliens and Alien 3 and legally keep the rights forever.
More Giger stuff.
The sequel is about the alien queen sending out drones to capture human males to keep as breeding slaves for hot xeno mommies

Alien 2
Make Aliens as-is.
Ditch Ripley for Hicks after Aliens.
/thread

make aliens, then the third movie would be earth war
Aliens on a Plane starring Samuel Jackson directed by Tyler Perry
Id make it so that each sequel has an entirely different alien species that kills people in different horrific / sexual ways. That way the audience has no clue how it’s going to happen until it starts happening

sell its likeness to kraft to make alien mac and cheese
