What makes the ALIEN universe so compelling?

>>213802104 (OP)
nothing. it isn't.

>>213802104 (OP)
Nothing, it's a franchise decades passed it's use by date.

The vastness of space.

>>213802104 (OP)
The show is dumb and it will get dumber with each episode
sad because the premise is great

>>213802104 (OP)
It was compelling when it was dark, lonely, everything so distant and slow, and lifeless. Except for when they found one alien lifeform in one spot and it got out of hand for a bit. Not it's just turning j to a shitty knockoff star trek slop where aliens are everywhere, travel and communication are fast and easy, and of course androids are terminators because that's how midwits think

The intentionally vague and mysterious origin of the Xenomorph.
... haha whoops.

production design

Because retro/cassette futurism is COMFY AF and I'm tired pretending it's not. Also, I love this thirsty little bird like you wouldn't believe.

Fuck all ya hatters!
Jews did 9/11
The N-word

It left a lot of things to the imagination, like a good book.

Ehhhh

>group of first responders investigating a downed spaceship filled with aliens that has crashed into a tower
Decent concept for a movie. Probably too small scope for an entire tv show.

>a group of children being shoved into android bodies with no training investigating the tower and learning to communicate with the aliens
I'm not feeling this whatsoever.

>>213802104 (OP)
never underestimate a soulful aesthetic

obviously they will move past the ship part, have you not seen the trailers?
