...and 'AvP', too.
If anything, it's become somewhat a cliche now. Even the last video game, Amanda Ripley was the sole survivor of her encounters with Stompy.
It wouldn't surprise me if Scott decides that this is a trope that needs to be broken. Just like he deliberately broke the 'lived in and used' design philosophies of 'ALIEN' and 'Blade Runner' to adopt a much cleaner and modern aesthetic for 'Prometheus' simply because he'd done it before.
We'll see. I'm not confident that we'll see any lead make it to the end of 'ALIEN: Covenant'; and certainly not convinced they will make it to the end of a trilogy. Scott has very different ideas to what we expect - and he has been known to throw more than one red herring at the audience. That's for sure.
