As we discuss gore/horror, it seems terror has been absent from the Alien franchise since Alien 3 as far as I can see. Terror- that sense of dread and anticipation of what will happen- or maybe it won't......

David brought that sense I suppose and perhaps that is a reason RS focuses on developing that character?

How would you bring that element to the next Alien movie?

I think a aftermath movie where we follow a incoming Ship/Crew who arrive at the Origae-6 Colony long after a horrific series of events could work...

But it would have to not be too close to another Aliens... it would have to thrown in some different threats.. and so discovering Eggs and Xenomorphs would not be enough if i am honest. But something different could work.

If Alien Covenant never had the Spores/Neomorphs and it was a straight up Egg/Face Hugger Flick i feel it may have pleased some Fanboys more.... but i feel it would have lacked originality because of this.
