They already have an Alien franchise team.

Wow, I was only following Huggsy's Tomato Soup lead. It's not easy being me. :'(

I hope that Dark Horse keeps the comics. Marvel comics are so bad right now.

Maybe Disney can put the LFL Story Group in charge of the Alien brand after the acquisition gets finalized.  They'll probably need a new name, though, if they're going to oversee another universe.

They might need to hire an SM too.

Unfortunately I think that's a pipedream. :'(

Marvel probably can't wait to get a hold of Alien and Predator.

I hope the Amanda Ripley Chronicles finishes intact.

What makes you think it'll ever finish?  She lives to the ripe old age of 66, and that's only if Burke is to be believed.

Amanda could have ongoing adventures for decades to come!

Oh boy. No thank you lol.

Huggs

Isolation was enough.

Local Trouble

And yet we keep getting more.

Probably because The Old One liked Isolation so much.

Isolation's great, but because of Amanda Ripley? No.

All entries in the series that have forced the inclusion of something/someone Ripley have suffered from it.
Isolation's a fluke, that succeeded because Amanda Ripley had no character- we filled her shoes.
So when she was saying goodbye to Ellen Ripley for the last time, so were we.

& Amanda Ripley's purpose is fulfilled narratively and thematically with that conclusion.

Huggs

Indeed, Isolation Would've still been good even if the main character was Doug the one eyed deli guy.
