Why change the heroine?

I don't think it's a prequel, it's basically a remake, the problem is that it's not as good as the original. The screenwriters are too good, what tests are they still doing, and they can basically see who has been copied.
There's no denying that the shape-shifting alien special effects are terrifying, but I prefer the tense, spooky atmosphere of the original. Besides, the alien creatures made by humans in 1982 are not necessarily much worse.
What I want to say most is that the heroine is really not good enough, and the murderousness is not enough. I miss the fast, accurate and ruthless performance of the original hero.
