I was being sarcastic. Hence the smiley in the original post I made about the Predator figures.

They are too busy focusing on where the story is going to lead to they forgot to make a movie that was its own story. Not to mention the middle finger they gave fans wanting to see Shaw meet the Engineers.

Scott said its going to be 2-4 more movies before we get to Alien, which would be fine if Prometheus and Covenant were their own stories. At this point, I think I may be done with the Alien franchise outside of the first two.

With Carl Weathers they have to go to Carl directly to get rights for Dillon but Apollo Creed came with the Rocky license. As for the more colorful/goofy predators that is just NECA pulling from the expanded materials and old Kenner toys to take full advantage of having the Predator license.

Why do they need Carl Weathers for Dillon? Just give Dillion a more generic face like they did with Hicks and Hudson.

I can't even say it was horror outside of one scene. The movie clearly wanted to be an action movie.

Ridley claims he loves the Alien franchise, but that can't be true since all he is doing is pissing over it, just not as hard as the idiots that did 3 and Resurrection.
