They need to stop throwing ripley and her name into everything

She just keeps popping up.

I think the best way to continue is a really good Sequel to Covenant.

Give up the ambitions of the prequel, give David and Origae-6 more than 200 years to develop and put Alien Awakening after Alien Resurrection. Start the Mortal Kombat between Ripley 8 and David 8.

Could just as easily be that Ripley would be there in spirit and not a physical player in the story. Similar to Alien Isolation. She voices the opening, the flight log, and then her voice is sampled for the end credits.

This. The story doesn't have to revolve around Ripley and Sigourney Weaver could provide her voice as in Alien Isolation (or The Cabin in the Woods) in order to have Ripley in a "spiritual" way as you say.

And yet without them there wouldn't be an Allen franchise :(

Yup. Whether you like it or not, it's true.

I think I'm more impressed Hill is wanting to get involved again and did a nice beastly treatment. Honestly though, give me my soft reboot Studios/Disney!

How about this  ;D

Dude, you really need to take everything people say seriously ?

If I took what you said seriously I would've made some comment about not physically assaulting people over a film you don't like.

Can we retcon A:R?

No Retconning of any kind. Last thing we need is for the Alien series to end up like Terminator... Just a jumbled mess with 3 sequels to the same movie.

I agree. It was tongue in cheek.

On the flip side, 6 out of 8 movies involving the universe have proved to be pretty divisive.

i wonder if hill's treatment continued the story of ripley 8, a different version, or a retcon ???

As bad as A:R is as part of the main series, it is set so far in the future that you can make a sequel to Alien 3 and have pretty much the freedom to do whatever without it having to affect it. Gives people the option to keep it canon or not.

"Ridley has gone in a different direction. Maybe Ripley has done her bit. She deserves a rest."

This genuinely sounds like she's simply isn't a fan of the direction the prequels went in. I suspect she's more of a fan of the Alien's origins being more cosmic in scale. Can't say that I really blame her.

If you're going to do that, then you might as well do the same with the third film, too. That way, we don't have to deal with the magical teleporting egg, can still have any adult become a Queen, etcetera.

Either stand on the shoulders of both or neither.

I'd love a connection like that. I'd honestly really like them to do something like Alien Isolation.

If that were the case, she wouldn't have been the primary one approached and given the entire treatment. They could have simply asked her after the fact or just hired the services of a great impersonator.

Plus, given his involvement in the series, he's probably very aware she would be a financial draw for ticket sales, if headlining the project.
