Do you also get sick and tired of having a male lead in every Bond movie? or every Mission Impossible movie?
Well, Bond movies are about James Bond. Every Mission Impossible follows Ethan Hunt. Several Alien films now haven't even featured Ellen Ripley so it's not really the same thing.

But I mean, you make a character like Hicks the lead in an Alien movie and it suddenly feels fresh instead of last week's frozen meatloaf reheated in a microwave.
