Oh I agree that it is an Alien sequel, I'm just saying I wish it hadn't been. For me, it kinda cuts down on the dread that the xenomorph can create when there are dozens of them charging into a hail of automated machine gun fire and getting slaughtered.
I don't think that they actually executed it very well, but I am far more keen on the ideas brought about in Prometheus and Covenant. That's what I personally want out of Alien sequels. Just ideally with, like... a second look over the script. By anyone.
