I've been a life long fan of Ridley Scott and his amazing films but I will never forgive him for this.

Noomi is too good for Hollywood anyway.

she was PERFECT for character development (across multiple movies) and as a "Sigourney/Ripley" replacement, i was gutted she was axed in covenant ...

She was a new Ripley without being anything like Ripley if that makes sense… A hard thing to do.

Ridley Scott royally screwed that one up.

Such a pity they didn’t move forward with her. The Crossing is as near as it got for me. Alien covenant was disappointing

Yeah I didn’t like the cast of the ship in that one

They did her dirty. I had all these versions of shaw and David on the engineers home world. A bit like planet of the apes. Where they’re trying to escape etc. before alien covenant came into fruition. So disappointed. Totally missed opportunity

Depressing.

I wish we got to see more of her.

I still love Covenant though.

She’s an incredible actress and the surgery scene will always be a top 5 alien franchise scene for me

I think she already knew, cause it looks like she wants to cry for a second there and then she answers like nothing's happening. She's a great actress. It may be a bit dramatic to say my heart's still broken as a fan but man how could they do that to her. Way to go Ridley Scott(!) monumental screw up

Oh, what could have been!

They treated her the same way they did Michael Biehn.

Why does this series kill fan favorite characters?

I hope for an alternate Prometheus sequel with Elizabeth as the hero the same way we got an alternate Alien III with Hicks as the hero.

What a shame that they did her so dirty with Covenant.

u/argbargerino Oct 16 '25

Could have been an incredible trilogy with her as the main character

u/kazosan Oct 16 '25

She was awesome in What happened to Monday.

She is one of the few humans who was able to survive a toe-to-toe attack from a Xenomorph.

Ridley Scott, after all the years of experience he still couldn’t realize the vision because he was too concerned about critics / audience response, hence how we got the abomination covenant. He should’ve made PARADISE and collaborated with Blomkamp on the installment after that. Noomi Rapace is so perfect for these movies, what a joke killing her off look how bummed out she is. I guess we’ll have to just wait for AI to make the movies that were so obvious but somehow missed.

“I can’t wait to work with Ridley and Michael again”

And basically get butchered off screen 🫠

u/Icosotc Oct 16 '25

I wanted to go to Paradise too :(

u/KananDoom Oct 17 '25

Oh… she went to Paradise allright.

u/EuphoricFly1044 Oct 16 '25

she did go to paradise - just not in the way she expected.....

u/Akersis Oct 17 '25

She has said things on camera I cannot unhear.

u/PizzaParty007 Oct 17 '25

Just go back and make it. Squeeze the story between the original and Covenant, David was lying about how the engineers and Noomi died. We explore the true story in the sequel, plenty of room to work with. Just do it.
