Alien Romulus Plot Holes Are Worse Than I Thought

Today, we’ll dive into some of the dumbest moments in Alien Romulus—the moments that not only risk ruining the entire movie but also disrupt the continuity of the franchise because of the implications of these events.

Overall, I actually enjoyed Alien Romulus, though that might be partly due to the high anticipation I had for it. However, the more I think about certain aspects of the film, the more I realize how some of them undermine Ellen Ripley’s achievements in previous movies. So, here are the five worst moments in Alien Romulus.
The first one occurs in the beginning of the movie: the company recovers the Big Chap, a.k.a. the Xenomorph, from the original Alien—the very one Ripley expelled into space. On one hand, it’s kind of cool to see the first alien revived, but on the other, it completely undermines Ripley’s victory in the original film. Her triumph is diminished because it turns out she didn’t actually kill the alien. There was no need to bring back the Big Chap to justify how they derived the black goo. The narrative could have simply involved receiving David’s research or recovering viable black goo from LV-223 after the Prometheus expedition. Reviving the Big Chap messes with the iconic status of the original Alien and feels like a cheap rewrite. It’s a change that alters the ending of Alien, where Ripley defeated the Xenomorph, only to now be told, “Actually, it wasn’t dead—it cocooned itself and survived.” This twist cheapens Ripley’s moment and opens up unnecessary plot holes in the franchise.
