Interesting question. I'd say probably not because I think a huge part of
the Aliens franchise's value is the still-novel concept of a woman in such
a strong role. Where in movies, since the original _Alien_, have we seen
heroines as strong as the Ripley character who are and remain the lead of
the show?
