i mean it kinda did, but the third movie would've been the full-circle film, that would've ended right before the first alien, and showing what happened to david.

Remember the scene where they replaced the chestburster with a NECA figure and it copied David's T pose?

I liked Romulus. Rewatched it and still liked it, more so the second time.
You want a hot take? Here
Alien, Prometheus and Covenant are the only good movies in this franchise

Covenant is a comedy with all slapstick slipping in blood and screaming.

I mostly enjoyed Prometheus and Covenant. The only really bad thing in theses movies was David creating the xeno. That was trully retarded.

4 is entertaining and kind of a lost form of schlock. Maybe you just had to be 14 when it came out idk

It's up there with Mystery Men as far as shitty 90s movies go
They're fun, but I wouldn't call them good

The Alien Earth writers have found a cheat to bypass the Prometheus Problem. Usually in movies like this, characters only die because they are all retarded. But in Alien Earth, all the characters are children, so there's an excuse when they die to bad writing.

I asked my entire dad what was the equivalent of capeslop when he was growing up and he said horror and sci-fi, but somehow thinks Alien and The Thing are elevated filmmaking.

Answering questions sucks. Best they leave the background to our imaginations.
