Give the Alien franchise to me. GIVE IT TO ME.
>7 spin-offs and counting.
1. Spaceship setting with 1 powerful morphing alien where everything is grounded/comfy/familiar
2. GI Joe IS HERE .GO Joe. Aliens vs Joes vs the evil Cobra, and all 3 shits on Weyland Yutani for being weak as shit. Riddick can come too.
2.5 Gi Joe goes into a less grounded starship trooper setting and a more Star Wars magicwizard setting as the alien's abilities get unlocked when the space jockey gets in his throne and starts controlling and unlocking their powers. You end up with Warframe. This is a spin-off of a spin off. You're going to love it.

3. Lovecraft meets Weyland Yutani. Switches between an intellectual and an average joe jack of all trades. He flips jobs for Weyland and other times goes on intergalactic fever dream exploration like Dark Seed.

4. Prison bitch story. Very depressing. For people who want those fever dreams but also to feel hopeless and insane as it's a mindfuck, there's no familiar grounded soil. This is the evolution of 3 as you think it's fine to go in fucking space and when you come back you didn't realize you grew old and wrinkly. Existential crisis. What Alien 3 & 4 should have been, this high-octane Giger painting in Shawshank Redemption IN SPACE.

5. We go back to 2.5 but our Alien is a main character
6. We go back to 2.5 and 3 and combine them together.
7. Space Jockey stories.

people want to talk about how unrealistic aliens is... let's talk about how alien has one of the most illogical scenes ever (will admit it looks great)
>an alien has just burst out john hurt's chest
>it gave the crew a look and then scurried off quickly
>probably one of the most traumatic/shocking/surreal things a human could ever see
>what is harry dean stanton doing in the VERY NEXT SCENE?
>he's casually walking around, bored, bitching about why he's gotta' look for a cat
>"hey cat... hey cat... come 'ere you dumb cat..."
>couldn't have a fucking care in the world
>hey some water dripping down ahhhh that feels good
in what world. in what dimension. what fucking character in history would be so tough and nonchalant that they're bored in that situation? when they know a little alien that just burst out a dude's chest could be anywhere. you'd be STARING at the floor and scanning everywhere with your eyes. probably wouldn't be willing to go anywhere alone. if you bring this up with an alien fan they'll say "YOU'RE FORGETTING THAT THE CREW HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING IT WAS XENOMORPH-SIZE AT THAT POINT". uh huh, yeah, that's certainly worth considering... but they also just saw an alien burst out of john hurt's chest. if that doesn't establish danger then what would? is harry dean stanton (an average joe working class guy by all indications) just the cockiest coolest most confident guy ever? the attitude dallas had was way, way more realistic. would be a nonstop adrenaline ride

In the original scene finding the cat was going to be unintentionally even funnier as he said "Here kitty kitty, kitty... here puss puss, here kitty, kitty, c'mon you fucking cat"

>How about we discuss that little alien snakerino situation?

Just adapt the comics already. I'm getting sick of prequels about people encountering the alien for the first time and evil companies covering it up.

The comics are so-so due to the fact it's nothing cohesive with the same writer and they barely get 30 pages to tell a story and most of the Dark Horse writers are no Tolkien.

>>212648328
I like that they're allowed to explore different ideas and not constrained to one single canon. See if they're any good or not worthwhile. That's how I view Prometheus. Just another idea of the space jockey, this one being "what if it was a suit?"

>>212644047 (OP)
These all sound fucking awful. Even worse than the recent movies.

>>212648925
They're premises meant to be written in their rawest form without finesse.
A good writer can make even the most ridiculous idea not only sound good but be executed good.

I can write down here all the ridiculous ideas from the comic book and make them sound either like a trillion dollar idea or something out of a fever dream that makes Prometheus+Covenant look sane in the head.
The stuff you can find in those those comic is insane and I'm not talking the Batman vs Aliens comics from the 90s.

No, retcon every single sequel. Only one movie ever happened. It did not need sequels.
