Why are horror filmmakers so retarded? How do you take such a great, simple premise and fuck it up so hard? There never needed to be a sequel to this movie, nor a prequel. For the same reason why you would never make a sequel to John Carpenters The Thing, nobody needs to know how the alien ship got there or what happened to Macready and Childs. It's like people don't understand that mystery and the unknown is a part of what makes something SCARY FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Have you heard of shekels?

Scary? Why not just intriguing?

Who was in the wrong here?

The fact that most Alien fans dont agree with OP is why i consider the Alien fanbase to be one of the absolute worst out there.
Its like they are all underage, or regress to an underage state of mind when confronted with the total lack of substance in the subsequent films.
Alien is good. Aliens, and all other sequels and spinoffs, are garbage.

user... is MONEY!

I will never understand the love of any of the other entries in the franchise. Especially Prometheus. Idiots eat up that movie like it has some deep meaning. Just because something was thrown together and doesn't make sense doesn't mean there's something below the surface. It means it's shit.

Carpenter did write a script for a sequel to The Thing though. Childs and MaCready both survived and were both human, got rescued within a day. A piece of the Thing was recovered and also brought back and it was suppose to take place on some Ship or something.

He wanted to bring back both actors to reprise their roles and was going to use frostbite damage to their faces to accommodate their age.

these, everything's a business

>use frostbite damage to their faces to accommodate their age.
that'd be horrifying

Horror as a genre is on par with porn
Every Alien movie has sexual undertones
I've masturbated at least once during all of them except aliens and if there were more made I'd probably masturbate to them too.

because "LE CLOSURE XD" and profit.

>>There never needed to be a sequel to this movie
>Aliens should have never existed
Kys, hipster trash

Alien is good. Aliens is fun. Everything else is shit.

Aliens is Alien for plebs

Aliens is fun but that user is right, Alien didn't need a sequel. Just like A New Hope didn't need a sequel. Or Terminator for that matter. Even though T2 and Empire Strikes Back are better than the first doesn't mean they were needed. I'm glad they exist though.

100% agreed. Exploring the origins of the Alien was a mistake.

But the Aliens look cool. Why shouldn't you make more stories with them?

Because it takes away from what made the original creature genuinely terrifying. Now they're just a meme movie monster.

I agree. Only Alien is good. The rest are cash grabs

S-shut up, Universal is going to get the formula down for their reboots eventually!

Prometheus was super fun, so was Covenant. Fuck you.

Alien is for virgins, Aliens is for chads. Everything else is garbage.

Please list every scene to which you have masturbated

Notice how you said "fun" and not "good"
