Are we reading the same article? The text was bashing anything that has a scary alien in a rust bucket spaceship killing ppl. The callbacks are corny sure but not the point. To say no one should make a film that puts a xeno in a space ship and have it hunt down ppl anymore because they did that 50 years ago is insane.
No, it wasn't bashing anything that has a scary alien in a rust bucket spaceship... It merely says, "we already have that movie and it's great". It literally praises the original...
It also said every movie in the franchise is just a remake of the first...
The article is literally saying we should not be making alien movies if there’s already a good one. It’s saying they should have never even attempted to make Romulus because alien exists. If that not bashing it idk what is.
