Re: I don't get the alien hate

I think it's because a lot of supernatural fantasy and sci-fi franchises stick to their own genres and don't mix, so people have grown accustomed to that. Buffy and the Winchesters never fought aliens, for instance. Although sci-fi and fantasy often get lumped together in a wider sense, there's still a divide between the two, and when that divide is taken away (especially in a franchise that had previously been steeped in only one of the genres) it doesn't always work out. Because they are separate genres. Just because both require a serious suspension of disbelief doesn't mean the same people who enjoy films about, say, magical artifacts and werewolves are going to enjoy films with space-travel, is what I'm getting at.

I can understand that point.

I always saw the Indiana Jones movies more as ''Every myth is true.'' and less about strictly sticking to fantasy so it didn't bothered me.

But I can see why some people might have problems with that.

Yeah, I think it depends on how people viewed the original films. I mean, I like fusions of sci-fi and fantasy - if a movie wants to have vampires and aliens and whatever else, I'm fine with that. But Indiana Jones was pegged as one genre, and then it was revived decades later and suddenly it was sliding into another genre and I think that rattled people. Maybe if there hadn't been that gap between movies, maybe if aliens had been included in the second or third film it might not have been such a big deal. But by being part of the fourth movie, the revival movie, it came across a bit like Hagrid showing up at the battle for Hogwarts with aliens instead of giants - it became a 'wait, what?' kind of thing, for a shift like that to happen so late in the franchise when people were accustomed to something else.
