After seeing the film at the weekend and liking some but not much of it I thought it would be a good idea to post possible ways of rescuing this dumpster fire
Obviously remove all vocal callbacks to the other films (Expecially THAT one).
Add more damage to Rook so he looks less obviously like a wonky digitally enhanced puppet of Ian Holm. Ash was meant to be an infiltration unit so making Rook look exactly the same makes zero sense. Considering the purpose of the Romulus lab maybe replacing him with a very damaged (think Bishop in Alien 3) version of a David.
Make Rook deactivate once Andy has his chip.
That might mean moving some scenes around but make the changes to Andy more threatening by having his internal conflict the problem.
Cut the scene where Rain duplicates Rey’s bartering scene from The Force Awakens. Yes it reminds us of how scummy The Company is but after watching the first film we already know this. It’s enough to know the kids will probably die like their parents if the don’t leave.
Have the chestbuster that comes out of Navarro die of exhaustion. It’s had seconds to gestate. Not sure what to do with the wall vagina. I suppose it could be a different alien. This is a thread so new suggestions are welcome.
These are my first thoughts. It’s such a shame they didn’t film the back story instead. The research team finding the original Alien had so much potential.
