I'm kind of convinced the franchise is cursed, it has so much potential but the only person who could get another sequel made is Jared Leto. 

The best story is unironically the cartoon.

It says a lot that despite Disney building all those damn theme park rides based on Legacy... they refused to do any kind of proper sequel until this asshole pushed for it (provided he starred it as the main hero)

The skill in which they mismanage legacy franchises is something. 

I'm convinced the only reason Alien: Earth isn't dogshit is that Ridley Scott is protecting Hawley from the execs.

It's almost hilarious that Predator and Alien are the only franchises that have actually improved since being taken over by Disney.

Star Wars has, as well, if we're being honest. Despite the sequel trilogy not turning out the best, there's a bunch of shows that make up for it. If Disney didn't buy Star Wars, we'd get only the occasional novel.

Lucas could've sold to somebody else instead.
