        God I hope so. Cailee's Alien co-star is Isabela Moner. We need that along with them encased in chitin bondage and Xenomorphs impregnating them.

            I liked Predators but the scene where the Yakuza hitman armed with a katana challenged a Yautja to a swordfight was just pure weeb fanservice.

            Sure the match ended in a "draw" and they both died. But Humans should not be able to physically overpower Xenos and Yautja. Nor best them in pure face to face armed melee combat.
            It's about outsmarting them.

        Honestly a Space Camp vs Xenomorph would rule if they knew how to do it, but they don’t. Nobody knows how to do anything anymore without some moron shitting on the walls out of spite.

          The way to make a Space Camp vs Alien movie interesting, unique and even quite shocking/terrifying is simple: have the Xenomorph(s) kill a bunch of kids.
          You want people to be afraid of this monster again after everything from Aliens to Covenant worked hard to drive it into the dirt? That's how you do it.

    I have no doubt that the only reason Covent exists is because Ridley Scott saw that Neill Blomkamp was going to make an Alien movie and cus hes a egomaniac couldn't stand for it so he tanked the project by pitching his own shitty sequel. I can't see any other reason why he would make this trash.

        If you disregard any movie after Aliens as being canon, then it would make sense to have Newt become the new Ripley. Ripley was her maternity figure in Aliens and did everything that a mother would do for her own child, including going into mama bear berserker mode and completely disregarding her own safety for that of the child. Ripley is for all intent and purposes her mother.

        It makes total sense that Ripley would pass that on, mother to daughter, since both her and Newt saw firsthand how insane the xenomorph menace is when they’re underestimated. Hell, Newt already has the “lone survivor who got found after everyone else died” origin story that Ripley had.

        Alien 3 is total shit and they killed off Newt and Hicks in the beginning of the movie, offscreen by saying “Oops, they didn’t survive cryosleep. Sorry about that”. The idea of a quadrupedal xenomorph that came from a dog is moronic. Alien Resurrection, while having good action scenes, was total shit story-wise. Ripley was just a part-xenomorph clone. The human/xenomorph hybrid offspring was a terrible idea and it made no sense why Weyland Yutani would even want to do that. They should absolutely memoryhole those movies and reboot the whole thing.

          I agree that Resurrection is moronic but I actually really like it and thought the idea of the hybrid was cool. That is if you just embrace the fricked canon past 3 and go with it. But yeah the alien series deserved better.

      it is studio influence completely, you can even read about it. Based Ridley wanted the entire trilogy to focus on the engineers only, but the rubitty rubs wouldn’t green light it until aliens were made to be the focus
      I don’t get why these frickos just let Ridley do what we wants. He has awesome vision and has earnt the right to do so

    No way. She's petite, dull and looks very frail. She looks so out of place with working clothes too.
    Ripley did look like she was part of the crew and could stand her ground.
    Emily Blunt could've been the perfect candidate for neo-Ripley which is something that's quite evident that many producers have tried to achieve.
    Michelle Rodriguez could've done the part too.

        She does, even if she's fit she doesn't look intimidating at all. She's got a doll face. Maybe frail was a bit exaggerated.

        Eh, if you like it you like it. But I think it was a big miss.

          Not that anon, but what I think you're getting at is that Ripley looks more capable because she actually does look like her job, which is a space trucker. She looks scrappy and unrefined which, for that role, is perfect.
          Shaw isn't a blue-collar worker, though, she's a scientist. And, IMO, there's room for such a character to be shown as a competent survivor as well even if the learning curve should be sharper.

            I get what you mean and in a vacuum she fits the role. But I'm disputing the claim that she's the perfect replacement for Ripley (which is what, I'm sure, the producers were after) which I don't think is the case.
            Ripley's character was very fitting because she was a somewhat rough worker like you said. She had a specific set of traits. What I don't like so much is this trope of jack-of-all-trades archetype where a scientist can do it all, even sustain terrible pain. Covenant does the exact same with the alien fight on the ship. This also happens with the prequel of The Thing.

            Maybe it's just me, I just don't see any of the new protags up to the task of being Ripley's successor.

    Covenant was murdered in the cutting room. They had screenplay written up for what happened between the end of Prometheus and Covenant. And they shot at least some of it, you can see it in the prologue clip The Crossing. But then they just inexplicably didn't put it in the movie. And they cut almost all the scenes that build the relationship between Daniels and Walter, so that the few times it's referenced it feels like it's coming out of nowhere. I really feel like at one point Covenant was a very good film but it was 4 hours long so they hacked it down to fit in standardised movie theater slopslots.

    Originally she was going to be in the full movie, she refused to film a scene with the protoface hugger which david would've inserted into her veganal canal.

    I don't know how they would've done the animatronics for such a scene likely would've won an award for it.

    In anycase since she refused the studio scorched the earth and cut her out of the film entirely, I think the only early stuff that survives is that mini film and the intro.

    studio wanted aliens in anycase not alien.

    Ellen Ripley was the frontrunner of the badass female lead who had a believable story where she overcomes her fear, limitations, and through sheer force of will and courage, ends up being the last woman standing. “Strong female leads” today are all Mary Sues. They enter the scene already being good at everything.

    Ripley went from being a terrified engineer on a ship alone with a deadly xenomorph, to being attached to a group of ragtag Colonial Marines, to taking charge of a mission thought straight up adrenaline and her fight or flight reflex going into “fight” because the (male) officer in command pussied out, to being taught to fire a pulse rifle for the first time, then ended up standing shoulder to shoulder with the Marines against an oncoming xenomorph horde when the shit hit the fan, and finally ended up in straight up melee combat using a cargo loader against a 15-foot-tall armored monstrosity that is a xenomorph queen.

    James Cameron is excellent in the way that he writes a female version of a “hero’s journey” in that they are presented as weak and helpless but end up becoming hardened badasses by overcoming struggles. He did the same thing with Sarah Connor.

    It’s not “proper” to show a female character as being weak in any way anymore. Capeshit movie queens kick ass right from the start. Rey Skywalker did everything in 10 minutes that Luke did over the course of three movies to become nearly as powerful. Luke started out as a whiny farm boy who trained his ass off, built his own lightsaber, learned from his mistakes, mastered his ability to control his impulses and emotions and finally confronted his father, one of the most powerful Force users in the galaxy.

    That’s believable. Rey Skywalker picking up a lightsaber and having immediate and total mastery over it isn’t.

    It would be nice to see Cameron write another Ripley. Scott is either too lazy or too scared of recreating her for today’s woke feminist audience.
