The news that Alien: Romulus will disregard Ridley Scott's Alien prequel films suggests that the franchise's complex narrative has weaknesses alongside its successes. While Ridley Scott's original Alien (1979) is considered a masterpiece, David Fincher's Alien 3 (1992) is seen as a weak effort and not scary. Similarly, though James Cameron's Aliens (1986) is praised as a superior sequel, the 1997 film Alien: Resurrection failed as a pointless continuation.
The revelation that Disney's Alien: Romulus will ignore Scott's divisive Alien prequels highlights the problematic nature of the franchise's timeline. The film, already announced to have no direct connection to Prometheus (2012) and its 2017 sequel, Alien: Covenant, reflects the audience's response to Scott's prequel story.
