Hey guys, be sure to check out the first episode of our new podcast AVP Underworld! Next episode is February 26th. Let us know what you'd like us to talk about on future podcast episodes! LINK: ua-cam.com/video/PKf2hZGjGfk/v-deo.html&t
Hybrid Network wish knew what the virus was, what kind of virus it was
They need to make a movie where 1 continent on Earth is completely lost (nuclear war/radiation in an attempt to destroy Hives, uninhabitable by humans) but also colonized by the standard Xenomorph hive. Fast forward years later and, we see more exotic & deadly Xenomorphs making it across the ocean, and transmorphing humans into eggs (like in deleted scene of Alien) in an attempt to establish a hive.
We join the team of hive hunters who are called for Xenomorph sightings, and dispatch any infestations or any transmorphed humans. The team sees an massive increase in sightings & attacks, but just assume it's the bugs doing their thing, but in reality it's Weyland-Yutani experiments that escaped. W-Y is breaking a bunch of laws (again) conducting experiments in Xeno-free Safe Zones. W-Y BioWeapons Department successfully created new weapons (Predator nod, as audience will notice some weapons resemble those in Predator, & possibly W-Y imprisoned a predator too) new armor that are acid RESISTANT and detection technologies studying the bugs. Our guys are called in to squash a hive that established questionably fast & undetected, already having a producing Queen with praetorian/guards, & drones. (unheard of on this continent for 100 years!)
Big s'plosions, tank chase scene, cool new guns blasting shit, and a couple of our newly beloved characters get killed. The reveal/betrayal is only revealed to the audience, W-Y of course gets away with it and the weapons/technology "test" was a success. Some of the team survives to set up a sequel to take back the infested continent with their new W-Y weapons, then hunt Xenomorph infestations throughout the galaxy.
The Auriga crashed into Africa, and thus destroyed, literally, all life on Earth anyway.
+Anarchist86ed agreed that ship was huge and prolly tipped Earth out of orbit.
Resurrection Ripley states she is a stranger to it because she is a clone and she knows it... She has never been to Earth.
So the Weyland-Yutani Corporation can terraform entire planets but can't clean up Earth's pollution problem?
well if its polluted by xenomorphs then yeah....
MetaSimian We probably fucked it up beyond repair.
That was my thought too, do they know how to deal with radioactive wastelands?
in alien resurrection, weiland yutani doesn't exist anymore and since several decades, it's quicly mentionned in the director's cut. This could mean a massive disaster put an end to the galactic civilization and only a few institutions like the army could make it out.
Weyland-Yutani was bought out by Walmart before the events of Alien Resurrection.
" _I am a stranger here myself._ " - is a reference to her being a clone *and never actually been on Earth because that Ripley is not the same Ripley.*
Not really, it means that it's been a long long time since she was there, that it is not anymore the earth she remembered
@alfredohumberto2222 No, the clone idea makes more sense. That’s what I thought too when I watched alien 4. Clone Ripley has no memory of earth, which is why she doesn’t react in horror like the original Ripley would have.
@@alfredohumberto2222she’s a clone. This Ripley has never been to earth. The original Ripley is long gone. Even Ripley’s daughter died of old age years before this took place.
In the first Alien book that WAS canon until recently: The xenomorphs destroy earth and 90% of the human population is killed off. Xenomorphs are kept in some lab in Europe for study until some cult frees them (thinking they are Gods) and the Xenomorphs multiply so quick that the army is unable to respond fast enough. It gets convoluted after that but the basic premise is that the earth is destroyed by the Xenomorphs and humanity is forced to move towards other colonies and space stations.
I just bought those books, reading "Earth Hive" at the moment. They are not canon anymore? Why? =(
And I think it's Houston where they keep the Queen until the cult tries to break it free.
RedTeamReview I enjoyed those books, especially the revelation about Ripley and how they planned to take care of the hive on Earth. Would be a better film than Alien 3 or Resurrection. You can buy the book trilogy as one big paperback these days too.
@Ryn Argos i never finished the whole thing because they went off on this convoluted plot. what happened to earth after the aliens took over? do you remember?
RedTeamReview I'll agree that the plot gets a little convoluted, but eventually the Marine and the girl from the first book meet Ripley on Gateway station and they put together a crew to capture the alien queen mother on the xenomorph homeworld. This alien can communicate with and control all aliens and queens. Long story short they get the queen mother to earth and drop her off in a valley mined with a huge amount of nuclear weapons that were supposed to be used during the original infestation but couldn't be set off because the planet was overrun so quickly. So, all of the aliens across the planet are attracted to her. They set the bombs to go off in several months so most of the hive will be with the queen mother when the nukes light off. So the book ends there, a little vaguely but in Alien: Genocide they mention that the bombs took out most of the aliens and the humans are retaking earth city by city, cleaning out the remains of the hive. Ripley disappears into myth, probably figuring out her place in the universe since it is revealed in the third novel the she is in fact a human perfect replica android with all of her old memories and that her original self did indeed die in Alien 3.
Now thats an alien movie I want to watch!
Well the reason it was likely cut out is because the scene made no fucking sense at all. If earth was in that state then it would have been utterly pointless to risk their lives to prevent that ship crashing into or landing on earth.
If her actions resulted in centuries passing before aliens could reach Earth, that was time for hundreds of millions (if millions a year) moved off world. By the time of that scene, you could have half a billion or billions of humans living away from Earth when a plague hits and essentially wipes out Earth. But the species is fine, living on hundreds of colony worlds.
Im talking about all those efforts to prevent the ship they were occupying from landing on earth.
I wonder if Ripley didn't know it was essentially depopulated, though you're right that would make all the efforts pointless.
Ripley may not have known, but the Betty crew did and were concerned about it (apart from Johner).
eraldorh @ actually they didn't know much what was earth like.
man aliens and the Predator movie series has so much Rich history and backstory that they could make movies almost forever. I wish somebody someday would explore some of this deep mythology.
Like the Arturians and River Ghosts?
Captains Outrageous... Heh your outrageous.
Grim Knight i try 😃
Captain Outrageous Alien covenant
Yes but could they make a half decent film out of it ?
I want to see a movie about the "Colonial Marines" a company or Battalion size fighting against an alien hordes..
Starship Troopers lol
MaverickDoesEveryhing minus Ripley but with the knowledge of the threat
Yep, it would be like Starship Troopers. Funny enough, that was required reading material for the actors portraying Colonial Marines in Aliens.
That would basically be Aliens with more of everything except Ripley and Newt .
Xenomorphs make it to the bug planets, could be quite possible to cross Starship Troopers with Colonial Marines. Granted the tones are very different.
I never cared for Earth being a desolate wasteland in the Alien universe. What is there to fight for? Especially for Ripley. Does it become one long quest for revenge? Having Earth still be a place worth fighting for gives Ripley and any other characters a focus for their drive to face what is obviously a life and death nightmare that they would much rather walk away from.
In Aliens, Ripley is a reluctant hero. She wants nothing to do with fighting the xenomorphs, but the thought of what the colonists might be going through is too much for her to endure. Her conscious overrules her fear. In other movies, she mentions Earth and not wanting to think of what might happen if the xenomorphs made it there.
As far as I know Riddley Scoot himself confirmed that the Alien series is on the same universe as the Blade Runner movie, and Tyrell himself was a friend of Weyland
Shit where did he say that
pretty much the earth like in wall e.
I always thought Ripley's comment about being a stranger to earth was because she was a clone, and had never actually been to earth
I don't think you should think of Alien: Resurrection as canon.
I agree,every franchise has their black eye though
Agreed
MaverickDoesEveryhing Alien 5 is cancelled dude bloomkamp got the ELBOW ........POW
Ven Sverre true
Ven Sverre or alien 3, neither exist
I never knew there was an alternative ending to resurrection. probably due in part to me trying to wipe that shitty movie from my memory
sassy, this movie is more than ok and other franchises have been scarred by way worse than that.
I liked Resurrection. It was the bloodiest Alien. It explored the DNA side of the Xenomorph & had the Ripley clones that look very similar to the Neomorphs in Covenant/Prometheus. I wrote a fan script of Alien 5 which takes place on the Ruins of earth. With a Mad Max style tribe that lives in the ruins of a mega city. One of the queen eggs survived the crash of the spaceship after Resurrection. Now it hunt the tribes people. Ripley & Ryder are the only ones who can help the people.
That’d be a good movie.
The reason Ripley says she's a stranger to Earth at the end of Resurrection is because she is a clone. She is not Ellen Ripley and the dialogue is indicating that she now sees herself as a new and separate person
Why do all "Alien" fans dislike Resurrection so much? I personally thought it was a really good film, it was fun, action packed, had some really cool special effects, the alien/human hybrid was great and yet all I ever see about it is hate. I just don't get what's so bad about it. Sure it's not a patch on the first 2 but then, that was always going to be a big ask. But as sci-fi horror/action movies go, there's hundreds out there that are far worse..
I'm 12 hours into an acid trip and about 4 hours ago i found your channel. I haven't gone anywhere.
Reaching out 7 years later. Are you still there? 😂😂😂
@ThomasLeichardt Oh Brother. What a weird time in my life lol. I had a lot of fun with Lucy back then. Things really got crazy during the pandemic. I was getting paid more than I made at my job just to stay home. I was getting 100 tabs of pretty good acid for $300. In a 6 month period I spent about $1200 on acid. Went 7 days with mo more than an hour or two of sleep multiple times. I did acid again for the first time since 2020 last year. It was a lot of fun, but it's not something I can back to doing regularly. I still micro-dose shrooms here and there, but I really just eat edibles and take dabs. I haven't drank alcohol since I got into LSD lol. I did develop a crazy nicotine addiction from all my acid use though. I also narrowly avoided being suckered into Q Anon during my acid stage.
Thumbs up for an Alien 5
real talk We need to start a petition.
Nothing happened to Earth. Just Paris was full of french people.
Hybrid Network can u do a video why did the alien queen attack the impregnated predator at the end of avp the 1st movie
The crazys her being a queen may have been the reason since the embryo ((according to director interviews)) was also a queen; we know from the comics they will fight for dominance if necessary, so I would imagine she didn't want the competition esp in an area with so few hosts to gestate her own young
That's my own thinking anyway, looking forward to seeing a video about it myself
Maybe we can discuss this further in the future! As I understand it, the Queen stabbed Scar through the lower stomach/groin area and the chestburster would still be alright since it grows in the chest cavity. ~ Nick
Hybrid Network so with that in mind, she was more likely seeking to injure him enough to stop him from harming her, while ensuring the embryo would still be viable, giving it a chance to infest other areas //if she was thinking that far ahead//
Tachi Seems right.
The predator may have been impregnated but the predator was still set on killing the queen
It's so annoying that we have to include Resurrection as cannon. Everything about Resurrection is just dumb, everything.
Chris Rardin except for the predator.
he was an awesome son of a bitch
Resurrection, not Requiem!
i liked 3 and 4, in 4 i thought its the company finally getting what they wanted and it fucked up like always or it wouldnt be an aliens movie and it sort of went ware prometheius is going with cross speciesness of the aliens.
guy who kills himself is stupid though
Both Resurrection and AvP movies were bad.
(Though eventualy getting an actually good AvP movie is a concept I believe in.)
But where noone ever said AvP movies were canon in any way, which they aren't, the canon existence of Resurrection still mocks and fucks up the whole franchise! The one thing that does damage needs to be retconned, which is Resurrection.
Though what's the use of being a fan when Covenant will also ruin the franchise...
I am the fan of "the genetic possibilities" of the ORIGINAL classic default biomechanical xenomorph species bloodline introduced in Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3.
What I am really a fan of is expanding upon the ORIGINAL classic default biomechanical xenomorph hive breeds and creature occurances that might develop/appear by chaning their environtments, their mental permissions or pheromonal capacity to evolve, and most importantly the hosts in which they come across or obtain to impregnate! On the subject of how they obtain hosts may be the place where I would expect bringing in the more complex philosophical elements if needed about humans and their possible innate urge to dangerously explore everything and all that jazz. I would introduce unconventional hosts with lesser-showcased stages, like a King Cheetah Drone, a Red Kangaroo young Praetorian, or a Komodo Dragon gritty damaged Warrior.
However I am NOT a fan of overly theatrical and thus comical characters appearing, and certainly not a fan of any European art-house emotional cinema element implemented by any director who doesn't even speak english!
The franchise for me is ONLY about body horror viewed from a scientific angle and each and every film must contain and elaborate upon the ORIGINAL classic default biomechanical xenomorph hive structure's inhabitants.
Blade Runner, Aliens & Predator Gotta Shared Universe So You Wanna See Earth Just Watch Blade Runner
now raised by wolves too. All three share same universe
I'd love to see an ALIEN story set on earth but not as a movie,maybe as a tv show?
I want to see a live action Alien series on Netflix.
I fucking dont
I've mentioned this before on this channel (I think) but I would kind of like to see an AVP movie with actually colonial marines that the movies never provided. I never thought seeing normal civilians gearing up to fight would be boring but somehow the director and screen writers managed it. But oddly enough I did like the Predators and humans teaming up in the first movie and even books.
Or seeing how in the games it's hinted that colonial marines aren't really 'the' military have a marine try to infiltrate a WY facility to gather information to bring them down a few pegs. Maybe the drop ship gets hit by (plot device here) and now the marine has to infiltrate from the outside. Perhaps along the way he or she finds a wounded predator about to (plot device here) that's how they team up. Also there's little to no talking as both can't speak the others language unless its a shout to alert the other of danger- oh non of that crap about talking to someone or thing that cant understand you that movies seem to do! Either the two find a type of sign language or drawing crude hieroglyphs in the sand I don't care as long as there is little talking. I know the idea is dated and most likely lame but it's sure better then the movies were!
Interesting video. But one thing for sure, James Cameroon saved around $20M by picking up the story on a space station. Also technology in the day would have made it dated within a few years, something Star Wars was prepared to do. Great film around, not Star Wars, I mean Aliens. 👽. 🙄
Humanity destroy their own planet and weyland explore other planets to start over under their rules but they're weakness is alien experiments
I'm just now catching up on my Alien lore, after only watching the first few films as a kid, but didn't the "original" Ripley destroy herself because she was impregnated, thus that would be the reason she'd be a "stranger to Earth" herself? She's essentially a clone just like Winona Ryder's character, no? Or am I missing something, I've forgotten a lot!
Winona Ryder's character was an android. But yeah, "Ripley 8" was their 8th attempt at cloning Ripley... 'cause like you said, the original died.
Well, that and even during Aliens series. Ripley has not been on Earth for many years. But even then, it looks like during those years, humans were already far advanced to live off of earth and colonize other planets or was new to it. But seems like in these years they sort of master living off earth and colonizing other planets already. I am really curious about the plague they are talking about that seemed like a far worse danger compared to the Aliens.
There's always the possibility that, based on Easter Eggs hidden in the films and developer comments, Earth is the same as it is in Blade Runner. So instead of being purely a desolate waste land, it would have at least one massive, futuristic city scape.
Isn't that how Paris look like nowadays. Well, except for the tower that is still in one piece.
Personally I'd like to see a Predator Human alliance, set on Earth, to fight the Aliens.
Dude I just finished this movie and was wondering about this sure enough you just posted this ... weird
What Happened to Earth?
*L E F T I S M*
Right because is the left that loves mega corporations
emilio navarro no but the left loves to import the 3rd would into the 1rst
wtf does that has to do with anything the world is fucked up because is run by mega corporations
world is fucked up because of over punctuation. importing the 3rd world into the 1st with out fixing the 3rd world is like trying to get water out of a boat with out plugging the leak. oh and yes the the left is big government and they love big corporations too
clearly you´re an idiot i´m talking about the world of alien you fucking idiot fuck off i´m not gonna talk with a bigot you are clearly too far gone
Some fan theories even suggest that the decrepit status of earth could have been caused by a combination of nuclear war, environmental pollution, plagues, and general abandonment for other colonies elsewhere in the far reaches of space. Some even go as far as to suggest that a giant, catastrophic solar flare may have caused untold damage to the Earth’s ecosystem and infrastructure.
Why thing i loved about AVP2 is that they were on Earth but it was so freaking bad movie, i demand another one
idk i expected alot from requiem, it just didnt live up to my expectations
but to some it might be good movie or atleast decent
Ok i get what you`re saying. Not cannon at all. I just can`t enjoy it at all cos they fucked up Xenomorphs so badly.
+En-Haluu Omaa-Nimee the avp movies suck because the Alien has been reduced to a punching bag, its fucking garbage the original alien was about 7 ft tall & they have the queen caged up by the predators wtf!?
Naah the first AvP movie was not bad at all and the second wasn't really too it just needed better lights (couldn't see shit)
Weyland Yutani Wasteland Earth
+++++ I always thought it was insane that if you do the math Ellen Ripley woke up in Alien thinking she was almost on Earth about to see her daughter. Only a few days pass in Alien. Maybe a few months while she's hanging out at the beginning of Aliens and the mission appears to last a few days as well. Then she lives a few more days in Alien 3 before sacrificing herself to kill the Alien. That's like a short 3 months or so spanning at least one century! Furthermore, if you take into account Alien: Resurrection... she then gets another couple days hundreds of years later. My point is, when she fell asleep right before Alien began she probably didn't expect to meet, greet and then destroy Xenomorphs over a period of several months with her awake and centuries asleep.
She deserves a nap.
I hope all fans just ignored the events of the Alien³ and that atrocious Resurrection. They're so awful beyond words.
there is a book that is set in between alien and aliens where she wakes up with a ship of miners . they fight the aliens and she goes back to sleep before aliens the movie starts
@@frolianmoreno7297 Poor Ellen Ripley and her never-ending cycle of space-naps and xenomorph hunts.
To be honest I'm really getting sick and tired of every alien movie revolving about a spaceship going to a different planet and then getting f****** infected and then having to destroy the ship or something I'd rather just have an alien movie set on Earth maybe new it doesn't have to involve a spaceship
would be kinda cool for a film.
What happened to earth? Humanity I would say...
Well I don’t have time to watch your whole video but if you’re not going to mention how the Director ridley Scott of alien is now saying that blade runner universe and the alien universe are one in the same and that the Annedroids in Blade Runner are the precursors to the androids from the alien series
Its a weird feeling to think this is also how Blade Runner ends, since its the same universe
During prometheus and covenant I'm sure earth is an amazing advanced place
Actually, Ripley stated that she was a stranger there herslef because she had never actually been there. She was a clone of the original Ripley.
So in the end the Wayland corporation caused the destruction of earth?
The aliens movies are fascinating and also aggravating. In alien in 1979, we saw the decayed remains of an "engineer" in his spaceship control seat. Congrats to everybody who lived thirty years to see some explanation of the engineers in Prometheus.
@0:40 Because in Alien Resurrection, Ripley is a clone.
I think Ellen Ripley said she was a stranger to earth because she in her present form had never been there. Only her memories survive, and they aren't complete.
Well alien: earth comes out next year
MARIS.ALIEN. BASIE..MALLINE.YEARS.ATENCHN..
I don't want any more of Ripley or her clone. She died in Alien 3 now lets move on to some new characters. But yes, we need to see the Aliens invade earth and us visit the Alien homeworld. That's where the movies should have gone after 3.
We need a true sequel to aliens, 3 and 4 are not canon as far as I'm concerned
She would have caused more damage by crashing that ship into the earth in Resurrection than the Aliens would have had she let them get there from the looks of the explosion when the ship hit.
Nah. It was the left wing!
Steve Perry wrote Alien Earth Hive .. check it out.
It's really important to keep in mind also that Joss Whedon wrote that condition for Earth into the Alien franchise, he would go on to do the same thing in Firefly/Serenity.
"What happened to Earth during the Alien series?"
Well let me just tell you, War...war never changes
:P
:)
You would think that mankind's society and technology would have be in an evolved state existing somewhere (even if it's not on earth) in order to create the ships capable of star flight along with everything else for human life. Having a dystopian society give rise to interplanetary space travel never made much sense to me.
In the movie script written by Joss Wheaton and much better than the finished movie! At the end, they come to earth and it is fine. The New kind of Allen gets out and they have to chase it down before it gets to a populated area on Earth. They do and kill it and then Ripply has to figure out if Earth is even her home anymore.
WHO!
1:28 Steven universe
I always thought of Earth, by the time of Aliens, to be like Brave New World, or a paradise at the point of a gun or pill bottle. I also saw the Xeno getting to Earth as a death sentence for the creature.
The Alien series is just a footnote in the galactic timeline, 3 sentences, Ripplys expanded life span, 2500 yrs.? The info was deluted too fine points, still took 4 days too read, most was above a human mind comprehension on a million-year civilization been wiped out here and there. others that took over so many wars, if ya think it's peace out there, forget it! Anyways what ISN'T accounted for is that - Sigourney Weaver played five Decades of the same character in five movies no recollection of her ever it's the only one that I know of in the history of Television movies or broadcasting which makes me think it's got to be a demon-possessed operation of course. Longest playing roll- Nothing! Earth humans the whole universe knows we're prisoners were useless for baby breeders to keep the rest of the whole universe in our blood DNA a body fluids they have used billions and billions of people basically I think that's what Wars for the Harvest of humans but you can think what you want you didn't see the information that I saw I guarantee it
They need to make a movie where 1 continent on Earth is completely lost (nuclear war/radiation in an attempt to destroy Hives, uninhabitable by humans) but also colonized by the standard Xenomorph hive. Fast forward years later and, we see more exotic & deadly Xenomorphs making it across the ocean, and transmorphing humans into eggs (like in deleted scene of Alien) in an attempt to establish a hive.

Our guys are called in to squash a hive that established questionably fast & undetected, already having a producing Queen with praetorian/guards, & drones. (unheard of on this continent for 100 years!)

There's already a comic where the Xenomorph completely overrun the Earth. Look up the Alien Theory channel.
There is no official canon for the alien series.
Fox never established one.
Ridley Scott refuses to acknowledge the Xenomorph Queen that was created by James Cameron.
Interesting theory. Though you cannot throw out the Predator Series or the AVP movies as they are part of the same universe. Also comic books and movies are two complete different things. That's like saying that the Marvel Comics and the MCU movies are related when they are not.
Earth may have been overrun by the Xenomorphs some time after the events of AVP: Requiem. I only say this because The queen in AVP wasn't exactly confirmed dead and there was no guarantee that the nuke in AVP 2 killed them all. Though it seems Earth is still safe when Predators came about. Thinking too much about it, what if Weyland-Yutani are working with the Predators and the humans sent to the alien world are also meant to be possible colonists to pave the way for humanity before Prometheus? Just random thought but I feel if anything, humanity's life on Earth must have been in the decline during the events of Prometheus.
i wish that they haved continue alien movie from this point on. i would like to see what & who did this to the earth
well they got to earth and nuked lv426 so I can't see them making any more sequels after alien Resurrection unless its on the xenomorph homeworld. Most likely just more prequels or sequels to promethious.
This is stupid. Earth was never attacked during the Alien series. Earth is fine, the planet is just over populated which is why Weyland Yutani is colonizing other planets. Even Alien Convenant says that the people of earth thank them for their support in colonizing a new planet
I always thought that alien 4 alternate ending scene was a pure nonsense. Seriously this scene was a disaster. This apocalyptic view of earth destroyed by something which wasnt an Alien. Some pretty shitty old piece of apocalyptic idea from nowhere. I would never buy it.
The whole connection of prometheus to Alien and the backstory of aliens and predator could be spun into many many movies.
I liked Alien Resurrection. It was a hell of a lot better than Prometheus and Covenant. Those two movies were garbage!
Ripley says “I’m a Stranger Myself” is’t because it’s been years since was last on earth, she says it because she has NEVER BEEN TO EARTH. She is a CLONE she has never left the ship. She knows nothing about earth other then what you would teach a young child. So, she has no idea what it’s like there, or anything.
Wait, don't tell me..."Zombie Apocalypse!" No? "Sharknado Endgame?" No? "The Day Gort Came Back To Earth?" The world of "Elysium" came to pass? "2012" was delayed just a bit longer than expected? "The Day After Tomorrow" was about Rapid Heating, not "Rapid Cooling"? "Terminator: The Children of Sarah Connor" happened? Or is Earth losing it's magnetic field way too early?
Ripley is a "stranger" to earth in 4 because she's never actually been there. She's a clone, despite having some of the original's memories.
Ripley is a stranger to Earth because she's not the original Ripley, that's what she means by that line.
If the Aliens may have been created in Covenant, how does it explain them in present time Earth with the predetor time line
colonial marines are the military and police of the Existing Government. In the Video game (and upcoming movie) ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES there is a huge conflict between United States Colonial Marines and Weyland Yutani Private Mercenaries. The comic book is not Canon
I'm just wondering how Terminator fits into all this. And by extension, RoboCop. And Superman. And Predator. All these crossovers make everything so weird.
Technically, there was an Alien story set on Earth. AVP: Requiem.
What happened to Earth? It was infested by the aliens (although I can't fully remember how, other than the usual "Wey-Yu fucked up"). I do believe humanity managed to take it back, but I don't remember if it was described completely. Source? The trilogy Earth Hive, Nightmare Asylum, and Female War. Also, the Colonial Marines are controlled by the government, not the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. They very often work closely together (and do at times take their orders from the Corporation), but they are still a separate entity. This is explained in great detail in the book River of Pain.
Aliens landing on Earth would be an endgame event, unless the Earth is soo overpopulated that there was nowhere for the aliens to hide...
I'd like to see an all out Earth war film, no taking the guns away from the marines, or running out of bullets. Just humans doing what they do best, trying to make every other species extinct. Top Earth predator, aka Humans, against the hordes of Xenomorphs.
Also... forget about that black goo, its lazy writing. Just keep it like the Alien films before Ridley Scott decided to mess up his own franchise.
Contents...
- Acid resistant armour
- Auto turrets
- Synth combat armies that the Xenomorphs don't immediately see as a threat, giving the synths the edge
- Modern weapons galore
- Armies of Earth, locked and loaded with all manner of technology
- Alien hives to destroy, with air support
- APC's speeding around, like Batman in his Batmobile in Justice League. Destroying armies of Xenomorphs
- Engrossing well developed characters, that you care about
- Maybe even Predators being seen in the background, using Earth as a training ground
- 1,000's of Xenomorphs in huge battles

- Civilians trying to survive, and most likely losing
A modern day version of this massive fight scene from Alien vs Predator ( spoilers ), but with Earth armies fighting
Alien vs predator hunters story... ua-cam.com/video/SST5NjFSYEo/v-deo.html
In Blade Runner 2049 we can see that Law Vegas is not fully inhabitate because a nuclear disaster. Only Deckard and his pet dog are the only ones living there. The Blade Runner franchise is part of The Alien Fanchise officially. Ridley Scott confirmed that on 2018.
how does this make sense when predator was in the 80s and 90s..?and xenomorphs were first identified in alien part one,way in the future.yet they were discovered by love and basketball in the 2000s.like,wtf..?shit makes no sense.and now there's a company trying to find our maker too...?and they are in the future...(Prometheus)...i don't know what's going on...(shrug)...
Thank God Didn't follow and doesn't like what others are doing by writing shit that never conects with the original movie ,they are just movie enthusiastic****** ,way to fanatic and destroying the real story with stupid content, Riley Scott didn't even like that stupid crossover of AVP
Earth Died. Space is Alive. We are Space (Acting & Film) Earth didnt make it. They were too late and died. We will miss them. Into space.... 🌎🎥🎬🎭🎽💪✈🚀
What would be ironic, would be if it turned out Jones the cat carried the plague to the Earth (he's the only survivor of the Nostromo to get up close to a Xeno and survive). That's it, he brought on Xenomorph fleas! But that's just too silly.
There is another possibility, that it's due to the Predator crossover. So imagine, as we had in AVP: Requiem, another Xenomorph colony turned up in Paris. And taking the Predator's "scorched earth" response to an extreme, either we, or the Preds' nuked the city (it's the only way to be sure).
Or the Preds' may have had this fight going on with the Engineers for a very long time, we got sucked into it, and they decided to ravage the human species for stupidly trying to carry on in the footsteps of their creators.
IF Neil Blomkamp's new Alien movie survives, it'll completely remove Alien 3 and Resurrection from the continuity. Those movies were trash.
Maybe a tribute to "War of the Worlds" by having the aliens show up at Earth but the mutated diseases of Earth kills them all (humans immune)? ;-)
Ok, I see that won't work...
I think there should not be a new Alien movie. What was it that made Alien great? It was an almost perfectly executed movie. Everything came together just right. Brilliant sets, costumes. Brilliant actors and a very convincting moster. It was a movie that appealed to instincts and fear. A sexualized, invincible horror, lurking in the shadows, picking up it's victims one by one. During the movie you only see the Xenomorph for 4 minutes. It only appears one hour into the movie. The film lives of it's suspense and hopelessness. What makes it timeless is it's execution and appeals to subcontious archetypes.
Alien 2 gave us something else. It is more action and character driven. With Hicks, Newt and Ripley it has a family dynamic. It shows Ripley in action, taking back from the Xenomorph what it has taken from her: A daugther. It starts just as atmospheric and slow as the first movie and then becomes an action movie. It also gives the audience what it was hoping for: More Xenomorphs. It is a completely different movie and because of that it has become a classic of it's own.
Alien 3 could have been a good movie if not for the notoriously troubled production. How did it play out? It had the corridors, dread and hopelessness of the first movie. It tried to use archetypes and a religious symbolism. But even if it had pulled off all of that it would have been only an echo of the first movie. We have seen the Alien. We have seen the Chestburster. We know what it does and we know you can't stop it. Why make another movie? Is there really a story utilizing the Xenomorph that has not been told or could be told? Is there really shock value left in a beast that has been a cultural icon since decades? Is there really a convincing way to surpass the first movie, using the same creature?
PS: I almost forgot, there was a 4th Alien movie. You got to give it to the creators that they seemed to be aware that most things you could do with the Franchise had been done. I compliment them for the courage to try something new with the movie. Unfortunately they failed. The story is contrived. Ripleys cloning process is not how genetics work. The whimsy and comical elements don't really work in a franchise that started out as gothic horror. The creative possibilities of 'Alien' are exhausted. This is why it was wise of Ridley Scott to take another route with Prometheus.
Am tired of dystopian earth that is overpopulated and run down but hey let's colonize star system and go to the FTL store where anyone can buY a FTL DRIVE. I want to see an aliens film where Earth is a type 1 civilization in a hard science fiction movie similar to expanse. I think AVP needs to be rebooted and set in the 26th century.
Why this stubborn connection between Alien and the far lesser Predator. These two movies and stories are two completely different ones. Such embarrising movies like Alien VS Predator is just stupid. Alien is a hard core, pitch black, sadistic story about a rapist space monster. Predator is just a monsterflick with a twist.
And there is still possible a epic Alien movie about global massacre on Earth ending with a total nuclear hell!
In the book series, some idiot brought a single xenomorph back to Earth to "study". It escaped, turned into a queen, began breeding and, 6 WEEKS later, the human population on Earth was brought to near extinction.
I hope to see Earth as Ideal place cured from diseases and pollution with clean Energy in wide use : All achieved through the work of Peter Weyland as he said during the 2023 TED Conference .... also Alien 3 and Alien resurrection will be decanonized soon
All Joss Whedon creations take place in the same reality. The earth was devastated by the Hellgods we see at the end of Cabin in the Woods (and possibly the Dollhouse apocalypse?) and this is why we all moved offworld in Firefly.
Bummer to think how high the cyberpunk cities of Blade Runner falls to the lows that are shown in Alien Resurrection....
They went in such a bad direction with Alien 3. I don't know why they went the way they did. They ruined the franchise. Not saying Alien 3 is a bad movie though. Thought Alien Resurrection was the worst of the franchise.
It would be good to have a film set on earth between 'Alien' and 'Aliens', being a spinoff.
And Alien 3 was originally supposed To Be set in Earth in New York City in a blade Runner type ❤️
I forgot where I heard this grom, but the destroyed Paris supposedly has to do with Skynet. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not very knowledgeable on Alien.
I'd rather have Neill Blowlamps Alien 5 ignore (in some logical fashion) Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. I want to see Newt and Hicks again.
