Each story creates its own hero. Ellen Ripley also became the memorable character of the original Aliens films. Ripley had made the film, which was already magnificent with its lines, character and story, one of the pop culture icons. The Aliens series, which will return as a series soon, will prefer to leave this character to its own.
First of all, I’d like to say that I find the decision understandable. I think Ripley’s story took longer than it needed. The producers will be thinking the same way I do, explaining firsthand that the show isn’t a Ripley story. In fact, the statement came directly from producer Noah Hawley.
Hawley stresses that Ripley is one of the most iconic characters in the history of the film, but says his story is complete. Hawley, who said it was “best told,” is not afraid to say that they don’t want to confuse Ripley’s story.
The question of when the show will arrive is a mystery. But we’re certainly not going to see him this year.
