FX Alien: earth He closed his first season with an ending as disturbing as it is interesting. Showrunner Noah Hawley He expanded the franchise as well as simple survival horror in something larger and stranger, and from the final episode entitled “The Real Monsters”, it is clear that this series is not only of Xenomorphs. It concerns humanity, morality and survival in a world where the lines are constantly moving.
At the center of that story is Wendy, played by Sydney Chandlerwhich quickly became one of the most fascinating characters of the alien universe.
Chandler recently opened on Wendy’s evolution, his dark relationship with the alien creature and where he could go if FX moves forward with a second season.
A relationship built on fear and reverential fear
One of the most surprising dynamics in Alien: earth It is Wendy’s strange connection with the Xenomorph. Although it is not exactly a friendship, there is an undeniable tension that could define the future of the show. Chandler was clear that this bond would never have to exchange something for sure.
“He is not a puppy dog who comes out of the grass, he’s a lion,” Chandler explained. “It is not eating you and it is a bit listening, but there is a performance. I think the alien is to be the iconic xenon. It is also a mirror of Wendy’s inhumanization.
“There is a reason why the final episode is called The Real Monsters. I think everyone is moving. I don’t know who is good or bad. Everyone has fallen into a gray area. Even if, by me, Wendy is simply perfect.”
Identity, family and transformation
Wendy’s journey concerned the identity as much as survival. When he was asked if he is more Marcy or more Wendy at the end of the season, Chandler reflected on the moment of the character of existential clarity.
“I think a great turning point was when he saw his grave, and saw his brother more specifically the tomb while he was standing there,” Chandler said.
“But I think this is the unanswered question. If we go to season 2, it would be fantastic to explore. I think he knows what is not. That road has been restricted. As for exactly what he is, we always question it. But he is starting to identify who thinks he wants to be or what he wants to be.
What Wendy is not, however, is innocent. “It is gone. He is not a person who needs protection or supervision.”
His relationship fractured with his brother highlight how much Wendy changed. “His mind works very black and white and has fallen in this gray area.
“I think his mentality is that there is good in the world, and there is bad in the world, and he is a good person who, in his eyes, did a negative thing. So where do you put it? This is the question.”
Aimed at Kavalier boyfriend
The ending also gave Wendy his greatest confrontation again with Samuel BlekinThe boy Kavalier and Chandler revealed that playing the moment was as electrifying behind the scenes as on the screen.
“He arrived at that last line that Wendy gives. If the camera had been launched, I’m staring straight at Sam and saying, sick. It was what he meant that laugh. They see each other, they collapsed and understood his game. He started his game now.”
What is the next step for Wendy
As for Wendy’s skills and his mysterious blood connection with the alien, Chandler has admitted to being curious as fans. “I don’t know the answer to this question,” he said about his potential xenon connection.
When it comes to his powers, he added: “It is actually one of my questions for Noah, if we go to a season 2 – understand where his advantage is located, because at this moment, we are looking at it in the process of testing his limits”.
And if there is any doubt about Wendy’s tenacity, Chandler has laughed: “Absolutely”.
Work with Noah Hawley
Chandler praised Hawley’s unpredictable narrative process, noting how often the scripts have changed during production. “The plots would change, quite dramically, everywhere. He kept us on tiptoe, he kept the fresh content. I think that even to Noah likes to work in that way, but I trust that he knows what is happening, which is fantastic.”
The way to go
If FX Greenlights of another season Alien: earth It remains to be seen, but Chandler’s performance like Wendy has clearly hit an agreement with fans. It is not just another survivor in the alien saga, it is something completely new, a character at the turn of humanity and monstrosity, with a future that could model the direction of the entire series.
As Chandler said, Wendy may not have all the answers yet, but she is no longer a child. It has entered a dangerous new world and is more than ready to play.
