I’d like to tackle a soft reboot to the Alien series which keeps only the original film in continuity and ignores all the sequels, prequels, and spinoffs. I’d like to do the following:
Explore xenomorph society in greater depth. I wouldn’t want to flat-out establish that xenomorphs are sapient, but I’d like to hint at the possibility. Perhaps there’s possible signs of artistic design in the construction of their hives or religiosity in their reverence for their queens.
Redesign the alien queen to harken back to Giger’s Necronom V:
She’d be uncomfortably alluring, with feminine lips and thighs, semi-permanently coupled to former humans who’ve been mutated into mindless drones who exist only to fertilize her eggs. The ultimate dominatrix.
Make the Space Jockeys alien again.
No bald muscle twinks in biomechanical gimp suits, no ancient astronaut bullshit.
