I’ve happily referred to it as Disney’s best looking movie in years because I find it absolutely hilarious that they’ve fumbled everything else BUT a movie that’s not made for their main demographic

Okay, guess I was the only one who was... unimpressed... by the trailer.
It felt as repetitive and familiar as The First Omen which I just sat through and was surprisingly disappointed by (how do you make a bad Omen movie?!).
I'll probably watch this on streaming someday though.

Looks like it could be good. Wasn’t Disney going to do a series on TV?

To me the trailer looked 'ok' and 'yep, that's Alien'. Honestly, if that's what it can be... sounds great right now in light of recent film/tv.
If no series, you can always pre-order the little golden book. They ship soon I think-

Wow, that is really a thing? I'm usually called a "shill" or "pixie duster" around here, but even I think that is too much.
This evidently isn't new as Universal has been doing it too with their old movies -

Just got home from seeing it. The first 30-40 was great. It went downhill from there.
There was no need for it to turn into a terrible parade of fan service pandering. No need for terrible CGI Ian Holm, black goo, "Get away from here you B", Engineers, human hybrid, pulse rifles, getting ready to sleep "surprise", android messing with DNA, "I can't lie to you about your chances...", etc.
Had it stayed it's own self contained story it could have been great, instead it went from one of the better movies I had seen this year to one of the bigger disappointments.

It was Alien: The greatest hits collection…but what do I Know… I was one of the few who like Prometheus for trying something different

Yep, the over the top fan service really pulled me out of it at times. It also didn't need a 4th act.
However, I also liked Prometheus for the most part.
More accurately I should say it grew on me over time. I'm still not a huge fan of parts of the story but it was a very well put together movie and visually stunning outside of some terrible aged Guy Pearce effects. I'll still pop it into the 4k player now and then and get sucked right in.

I thought the last 20 minutes wer the most interesting and where it felt like it went in a really new and exciting direction.
I have seen all of the Alien movies and prequels but only about once or twice each so I likely missed a lot of the callbacks that annoyed some fans.
