That's how it should have ended.
I thought a nice follow up film would be a grown Newt leading a specialist team that investigates and deals with dangerous life forms (not just Xenomorphs) which the ever expanding colonies encounter- with Hicks as the overall commander of the entire group of teams.
Ripley would be happily living with her cat and not continually being in the middle of things...

Too bad they killed Newt in Alien 3.

Well, between Aliens and Alien 3, since she was never alive in the latter. That's why I say that the series ended at Aliens. That way Newt can be alive, Hicks can recover and all of the stupidity that came after can be ignored.
What about Jonesy..
I dont mind A3.. But what never sat right was Hicks and Newts death.

Jonesy was still on Earth, waiting for Ripley to return.

I actually forgot that I saw the two Alien vs Predator movies. Some thoughts:
Alien vs Predator - I watched once. I was looking forward to it because I have the old Alien vs Predator graphic novel and thought it was pretty good but I read it when I was young. A few weeks or months ago, the movie was on TV and I put it on my list to re-watch to maybe own because I guess I forgot that Lance Henriksen is in it. I know he's in Alien 3 as well. But that was a surprise cameo. Plus, I kind of want to own another movie with Sanaa Lathan and I think this is the only action movie she's in. She was really good in a modern noir set in the Florida Keys called Out of Time.
Alien vs Predator 2 - Another one I only watched once. I remember many parts of the movie were really dark with the lighting for some reason. I wanted the movie to be good as I think a Eurasian actress from the 24 TV show is in it. But I thought the movie was terrible. I assumed it would be a true sequel to the first one but I don't think it was. I only remember the pool scene with a blonde actress and her sadly not surviving a hospital scene by getting thrown into a wall by the Predator's spear or the disc weapon.
As a side note, I would recommend Galaxy of Terror to those who haven't seen it. There are some wild scenes in the movie. I think I posted about it around here before. James Cameron worked on it and a few surprise actors are also in the movie. Some might say it's a bit rough. But it's a horror b movie and I think better than Alien 3, 4, Covenant, and both Alien vs Predator movies. But I think that Planet of the Vampires is better as well than that group of Alien movies.

I'll try to visit hopefully this week, where abouts is it?
On the Southbank, just a bit west of the OXO Tower IIRC. They were closing up when I happened to pass them yesterday; I don't know how long the thing is running for.
Awesome thanks

I go by the Dark Horse comics lore, they made it back to earth and Newt grew up with Ripley as her new mom, Hicks continued up the ranks in the military, and aliens made it to earth also, then we went to their home planet ala Starship Troopers, etc...

That would be a much better story instead of the garbage we've gotten.
...in the comics, didn't Newt and a repaired Bishop "hook up" as well? (EDIT: sorry... it was another synthetic)

As well as a budding sexual interest between her and Hicks years later. I call it that because it isn’t an actual romance and more them noticing each other while they are getting dressed or something introspective by both or a conversation they have. However, I think that was after they aged her up a bit and changed their names. I believe that’s in the same story where she falls for the android. It’s been a while since I’ve read them.
