Totally dissatisfied with how things are in their art/culture, and do something about it.

The first four films are one story that takes a sharp turn into shitsville after the second one (whatever merits 3 & 4 may have, they story \’decisions\’, if you could call them that with a straight face, were incredibly wrongheaded).

"A lot missing as a fan". The whole series reinvents itself with each movie. Now he\’s just going to do a retcon so he can play in James Cameron\’s sandbox like a child.
I hope this guy has to start from scratch. He\’s a hack.

Have people forgotten how to enjoy films?

He seems to have such a definitive idea of where his narrative for the Aliens franchise is going that I think he\’ll be fine since that\’s generally his biggest pitfall with his own films. Also in the minority, but I thought Chappie was pretty decent actually. It\’s no District 9 but it generally delivered exactly the sort of film I expected.
