Man, I love Kiryu so much

This isn't a complaint, just an observation. I do have some complaints about the movie, mostly to do with pacing, and a few character moments.

Visually it was great. My only issue on that front is the monster didn't look very...monstrous. Kinda hot, but not even in a monster-fucker way.

Nah, it's a good bit above Romulent. Probably in the top 3 of the series, which isn't saying much given how low the bar gets after those first two.

Also, unlike Prometheus and Covenant, Alien Romulus actually LOOKS like an Alien movie. With a full 70's idea of what the future would look like.

CRT's, big heavy machinery, the works! None of those holograms that they had in Prometheus, despite it being hundreds of years before Alien 1.

Alien Romulus is actually a good movie. I liked how it played with a lot of the already established elements, there were some really creative uses of the acid blood here.

There's a single element that I hear is quite divisive here, though I did kind of like it? I get why people are mixed though.

Alien the Covenant was an Alien the Covenant movie that I did saw.

At this point it really feels like nobody knew what to do with this series, so they gave Ridley Scott cocaine and a bible, and told him to go nuts.

Prometheus is fucking silly. It's probably not a worse movie than Resurrection, but it's so much more frustrating to watch because of all the little inconsistencies that are shoved into your face.

One genuinely good thing I'll say about it; they had a character who used a wheelchair to get around for the whole movie, and it never treats him like a liability.

One of the characters does at times, but it makes it clear that he's an asshole, so it doesn't feel like you want to agree with him.

Alien Forever After (Resurrection) was... A movie? Ripley felt weirdly sexual for the whole movie, which made a lot of sense when I saw Joss Whedon was a writer on it. The plot has so many major and minor loopholes, it's absurd.

I can't say it was a good movie, but it very rarely bored me, I guess?

Alien The Third was weird, in that you can see the good movie that's buried here somewhere. It's shot really well, and the sets are again brilliant.

But mostly nothing characters, a plot that throws away the prior two movies, and a confused tone make it feel really underwhelming. Also awful CGI.
