How do you want the franchise to handle Ellen Ripley/Sigourney Weaver in the future?

Ellen Ripley's story is over.

Isolation is her narrative's closure, the last message for us- and Amanda Ripley.

Stitch

No thanks. She's dead. Let's stop flogging a dead Ripley.

I don't. Ellen Ripley is dead, and Ripley 8 was a poor idea to begin with.

But as I suggested in another thread recently, I wouldn't mind seeing her reprise her role through voicework, in professionally animated versions of Ward's and Gibson's scripts. Although Laurel Lefkow has done amazing work, and would also perform the role just fine.

Voodoo Magic

While it had its problems, Alien3 and Ripley's heroic sacrifice was a perfect ending to that character in my opinion.

I just really wish Newt made it out alive, but alas, what's done is done.

Rankles75

Not going to happen now, but definitely option 1.

Immortan Jonesy

I'm not sold on Blomkamp as the director, but I would like a movie with Ripley  :)

whiterabbit

I'll take one 'reprise her role as Ripley 8', give me that Alien Resurrection sequel. :)

The Cruentus

Ripley is dead and her death was impactful and it wrapped up her story, best to let that lie even if there are things about that movie that stick out horribly.

At least Alien 3 left all the worldbuilding intact...then Alien Resurrection flushed it all down the toilet.

I like to look at is as more of alien3 flushing it all down the toilet and then the toilet getting clogged and overflowing out the turd that is A:R.

Local Trouble

Alien 3 only flushed the characters down the toilet.  The universe survived.

I've written hundreds of paragraphs on this topic. But LT sums it all up in two sentences.

I think I'm gonna cry.
