Alien: the earth is doing what Weyland-Yutani could never

THE Alien The franchising has always revolved around the twisted dream of bringing a xenomorphic to earth and understanding how weapons. From Alien TO ResurrectionWe saw Weyland-Yutani Chase that nightmare, only to fail over and over again.

But now, Alien: earthThe FX series from Noah HawleyThe game is changing in an intelligent and exciting way. If you are looking at this series, you know how intelligent and stratified Hawley’s narrative is.

Is not just playing in the sandbox of Alien Mythology is expanding it with a strong comment on the corporate power games and avidity. It is an intelligent and methodical accumulation that is finally giving to fans what the films have never completely delivered … Xenomorphs on Earth, to be studied in a controlled environment.

At the center of each Alien History is the idea that societies, in particular Weyland-Yutani, are willing to do everything to take advantage of Xenomorphs. They sacrificed the employees, manipulated soldiers, prisoners imprisoned and even cloned the dead, all to grab that evolutionary mine with a deep space.

Every attempt to bring a house was a disaster. The Xenomorph on the Nostroma killed almost everyone before being expelled in space. In AliensWeyland-Yutani tried to sneak one back from LV-426. Alien 3 I saw another failure, and inside ResurrectionThe creatures did not survive long enough to make landing before a ship full of them fell on fire.

But Alien: earth Just rewrite the rules. Sets a few years before the original AlienNow we know that not only a completely grown Xenomorph has returned to Earth, but also several eggs.

The interesting part of this is that Weyland-Yutani did not get their prize, it was Prodigy, one of the rival companies, which stole them. And now, in the most recent episode, that dream scenario is finally happening.

Scientists are observing the Xenomorphs on Earth. The thing Weyland-Yutani has always wanted but it is never managed now is happening under someone else’s control.

We do not know how long this experiment will last, probably not long because if the story tells us something, things are about to go to the side. The big questions are now: will prodigy discover something that is worth the risk? And could this colossal failure be what pushes Weyland-Yutani to send the nostromo to its fatal deviation?

As an irreducible fan of the franchise, this is the type of story I was waiting to see. Safe, Alien: Alliance Let David Sezzi creatures with disturbing precision, but again, not on earth and Alien: Romulus He mentioned progress, but he has not yet delivered the land environment at home.

Now, finally, Alien: earth It allows us to see what happens when corporate ambition wins. At least, for a while. Intelligent people and well resources, pushing the limits of science to unlock the secrets of one of the most terrifying species of science fiction. It is a bold change for the franchise and is taking place in the best possible way.

Until now, Alien: earth The legacy of the series is not only honoring, but it is evolving and expanding the world that is set.
