I know people in game development who will not mention that they work in game development because of the toxicity that they could then expose themselves to. These are people that love games - playing games, talking about games, thinking about games, building games - and yet, when it comes to dealing with online gaming…

Always weird when Hollywood’s penchant for franchises/branding/remakes/sequels is some new or escalating phenomenon, and not just how Hollywood has done business like...forever....

“Im not really trying to do an “on the other hand”.”

I play video games daily. Thank god and Satan, I am not a gamer.

No.  This is not the topic to try to go “but on the other hand”.  THERE IS NO OTHER HAND.  The toxicity needs to stop, end of conversation.

I like Hawley and LOVE Fargo so I’m trusting him to come up with something interesting, but just the fact that it’s part of the “Alien” universe leads me to fear/believe it will not be good. That’s only because I have 35 years of history on my side, though.

Sorry but the Prometheus and Covenant origin is way cooler/horrifying and HR Giger-ish than mundane Darwinian evolution.

Yeah, I have a lot of issues with the prequels but one of the things it got right is that technology and aesthetics don’t always advance in step with each other, and don’t always consistently move in the same direction.
