Can we get a list going of films that ruined entire franchises?
>Completely misunderstands the premise of Alien, and turns a subdued movie about a single Alien stalking and killing a crew into a mindless action movie.
>Tries to establish the notion that female characters are only valuable as long as they have children
>Dumbed down the entire mythology of the Xenomorph, the now "perfect" organism is tied to a hivemind
>Pisses on far more cerebral ideas such as eggmorphing
>Helped give birth to the truly banal concept of the "Space Marine", leading to the team-up with prole-sludge franchise Predator to create the mind-numbingly stupid AVP series
>A shallow take on corporatism by James Cameron, with the character Burke showing up again in other movies such as avatar.
>Every film in the entire series after "Aliens" was subsequently criticized for not conforming to this mindless mold, even when the auteur of the original decides to wrest control of his franchise back from the idiots feeding his audience prole sludge
The fact that the entire supporting cast is walking one-note stereotypes doesn't help either, and the fact that Aliens fans have the gall to criticize the Alien prequels for this is baffling.

Literally nothing in the film implies hive minds. A hive mind is a shared mind between multiple organisms.
Incidentally, a perfect organism would have a hive mind.

While I agree in principle, I still can't help enjoying it for what it is.
IF the series permanently ended after this one I'd have no complaints.

Ants share have a hivemind. They are directed by pheromones, have a queen, and have a hierarchy. Same with the Xenomorphs in Aliens.
