Article title aside, it sounds like the show will be more about capitalist dystopia than xeno kill count. I kind of wonder how much screen time the creatures have at all, compared to a Game of Thrones style character narrative.

The capitalist dystopia was always the true horror of the films. None of the terrible shit that happens in the first two films (or Resurrection) would have happened if capitalism wasn't heavily involved.

Fair point. I think only the AvP movies skip the capitalism commentary in favor of pure action-horror, and those are now non-canon.

I may be one of the only people on the planet that enjoys every single one of the Alien and Predator movies, though.

Great point: it's going to be expensive to show the aliens so it will likely start more convo/human driven.
