    How was it not Alien 3? I mean yeah, Ripley had a cool death but the ending of Aliens getting destroyed the way it did was horrible. On Stranger Tides ruined the ending of the previous one by existing and by having Jack just give up on his quest for the Fountain of Youth. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 kills off his mother and sees him divorced in the first few minutes. The reason why he was divorced was so stupid. Even if you hate the original, you can't deny that Paul had a great ending.

      The entire _Highlander_ franchise undermines the ending of the first film. Connor kills the only other immortal, wins the prize, and is now content to live out his days as a mortal man. _Highlander 3_ revealed that there were some dinguses in a cave, restarting the game upon their release (also, his love interest dies in a car accident off-screen). The subsequent live action movies are based on the TV series, which ignores the whole thing about the prize and makes it clear that Connor and the Kurgan weren't the last two immortals.

      I just rewatched the first three films this year, and I'll be honest, I've never had a problem with the direction Reloaded and Revolutions took. I can see why there was disappointment, but I guess I never really had any major thoughts on where I wanted the story to continue, and I was so sucked into the style anyway. Now regarding Resurrections, which I hadn't seen until this year, I felt like it didn't justify its existence, was far too meta, and the style, tone, and direction felt way too different from the films before, which all seemed pretty consistent in much of the execution. I don't consider Resurrections a bad film by any means, nor do I see it as ruining the ending of the previous film, but it was disappointing in many ways.

    I'd say Alien:Covenant trumps Alien:Resurrection for ruining everything from the previous installment. Resurrection wasn't at all stellar, but it played it mostly safe and didn't actively harm any potential from Alien 3 or the overall franchise mythos. Covenant, however, promptly squashed the somewhat potentially decent hook Prometheus ended on for expanding the universe, then rubbed salt in the wound by also quashing all the mystery surrounding the origins and nature of the titular xenos, essentially spitting in the face of what made Alien so captivating and what Aliens smartly preserved.
    Thankfully Alien:Romulus at least rendered Covenant's additions non-canon, so there's that.
