Alien Earth
Not much of an Alien fan, don't know much of the lore

But... Does this tv show rape the lore set by the movies?

Seems crazy. Every episode there seems to be something cool and i dont know if it rapes or adheres to the set lore

Like Prodigy of earth know of Xenomorphs? From the computers? But how? Weird. Just from the computers? But it's a prequel? They even know how the Xenomorphs works, and all that shit

Rape is the most important part of Alien. It's all about the rape. It's a show about the raped vs the rapist.

Can the raped become the rapist and vice versa?

Can the raped rape their rapist?

A total mindrape for sure

The showrunner clearly needed to slap an existing IP onto his scifi dystopian retelling of Peter Pan, and I guess Disney picked Alien as the sacrificial lamb.

I didn't expect any attempt to adhere to the shitstorm of a canon the Alien movies have like how Disney Star Wars doesn't care about the EU canon, but you'd at least get Star Wars slop to pay homage to the EU and recycle material from it. This show doesn't attempt any of that.

Maybe it's just been too long since I watched the original Alien, but I thought the Xenomorphs were basically a complete mystery in that film. I guess the events of Alien: Earth could end in a catastrophe with the Xenos not making the news, because otherwise you'd think a human in the Alien crew would immediately realize what they were dealing with

They were terminally ill before they were either transferred into the robots or just outright murdered if the transfer is just an electronic copy. They spent a good part of their childhoods in hospitals away from other kids. They didn't have lockers to get stuffed into. So they're probably immature for their ages. But at least Wendy knows how to do a pinky promise, the foot fag obviously had no idea what she was talking about and did it wrong.

The main problem with this show is that it makes Ripley seem like an idiot. Her whole deal was that she thought the Aliens getting to earth would doom the planet. Seems she was just being overdramatic.

It does however mean that David didnt make the xenomorph, he just reengineered it from the black goo, so it makes the prequels a little better. in my opinion.

Well this is the problem with Alien earth.

If they had made the Alien as dangerous as Ripley thought they were, it makes the whole franchise much better. Conceptually, the idea of Xenos being an intelligent unstoppable planetary cancer that spreads via rape, is much more terrifying than xenos being another bug parasite that can be squashed without much hassle.

I even prefer the prequels idea that the xenomorph is gods weapon against their creation.

Alien earth lowers the stakes too much.

It's made pretty clear in Alien, that W/Y already knew about the existence of xenomorphs (if not the ones on LV-224 specifically), when they rerouted the Nostromo towards the beacon and the respective planet.
>>214070861
The Nostromo mission was supposed to take 14~16 months in total and it is rerouted to LV-224 when it's on its way back (so at least 11 months into the mission) in 2122, which means that Alien: Earth takes place at worst about half a year before Nostromo sets out on the mission.

Yes, Ripley was overdramatic, because the xeno had *all* the advantages possible stacked for it, outside of numbers. Alien rightfully showed that an armed and properly informed force would BTFO xenos without much problems. They're essentially a one-time surprise attack trick "weapon" as is one possible implication of the space jockey ship's purpose.
Prometheus also confirmed that xenos are a very old "species", since they are deified and depicted on the engineers' ships and buildings' murals.

The main problem with the theatrical cut is that it creates many large plot holes and some of the characters and plot line just disappear with no explanations or payoffs... The Ox vs dog and chestburster scene arent that significant in the grand scheme
Anonymous No.214071318
>>214071216
Prometheus shows that at least some space jockey/engineer faction deifies the xenos, because they were a way for them to continue procreating/evolving, while another possible faction might have simply considered them convenient and useful bio-weapons, if not possibly tools for "terraforming" purposes via easily "cleansing" the original fauna on a planet.

It seems to add to the lore rather than screw it up.
It is also NOT a typical alien story. It is closer to bladerunner or cyberpunk show with the style of Alien.

It is also stupid sometimes. Because the brother agreed to work for Prodigy, but he also mentions the aliens that almost killed him are being kept there. It is good for a TV show of the week. It is better than most recent alien movies.
There is a lot of things that might be filler. I’m not sure where the plot is headed.
