Quote from: irn on Sep 24, 2015, 07:01:04 PMNO. The Ripley story arc finished with Alien 3. Constantly shoehorning in Ripley or a Ripley is just making the overall story ridiculous.
You say that, but Amanda Ripley in Isolation actually worked. She wasn't shoehorned in, they came up with legitimate, totally logical reason for her to be involved, and I liked how she was portrayed.
In this case I agree, Amanda was portrayed well and I enjoyed her story in Isolation, I did have doubts at first because I too believed Ripley or the name, is just overused and it felt like attempt at milking the franchise via nostalgia.
I would prefer Amanda to continue her own story after Isolation rather than have her in Alien 5 though.

You know Amanda would suddenly have a Welsh accent if Burrows portrayed her, right?
juz say she lived in Wales for couple of years with her husband
Or wife, the Alien universe, or at least the AVP stories tend to be very progressive with marriages between same sex being just as unremarkable and "everyday" as traditional marriages.
You got a point though, living in an area for a long time can make you lose your original accent and pick up another but still, it wouldn't do her justice to have her in the new film, she at most deserves her own story independent of her mother, continued from Isolation but I wouldn't want to see that go on forever either at it will just be the same thing as what her mother went through over and over.
