We cant RULE that  out, NOW that Disney has the Rights, i do Suspect it would be more Gun Hoo... Heavy Action Orientated.

I would rather see more Mass Conflict if a Xenomorph was brought to another World where Mankind has had Various Colonists on for like 100 Years, so you could have say 5-6 Settlements of say Hundreds/Thousands of People.

As Opposed to bringing it HOME to Earth....

My Main Concern is Conflicts and Contradiction to the Franchise, thats UNLESS the TV Show will offer a ALTERNATIVE  Canon.

Much like say The Robocop 2014 is to Robocop 1987

So it depends on IF this is Canon, which those behind the TV Show claim it will be.. and it will be doing something NEW/DIFFERENT but will still keep Respect to the Original (so it wont Change things too much) this is NOT to say it wont be trying to Re-Write/Change some of the Canon though.

TIME-LINE is a Massive Concern... but i had heard the TV Show is NOT set before ALIEN.....  but then i would NOT call being set after ALIEN as being in the NOT TOO DISTANT Future.

We are just going to have to WAIT and see... i think that Discovering the Xenomorph before ALIEN and Especially before the Prequels would be a MISTAKE.....

To then within such a TIME-LINE have the Xenomorph either brought to Earth.... or WORSE.... Discovered on Earth would be a LARGER MISTAKE.

This could WORK if we have it SET in the Time-Line say between 2200-2300 but then NOT on a Massive Scale, as the Mercenaries who brought the Human Hosts with them on the Betty had NO idea about WHAT the Xenomorph were.

If there was a Major Event/Outbreak on Earth before their Time i think they would have Heard about it to a Extent.

So having it Contained on say a Island where there is a Outpost like say a Area 51 etc etc, and some Population on this Island and a Outbreak Happens here and the Xenomorphs are then Destroyed by NUKE that Island... this would Cause like LESS of a Conflict....

But this is a PLOT that you maybe WONT NEED like a 8-10 Hour Run-Time or maybe a Season 2

To me it does seem the Xenomorph will be Discovered ON Earth.....and so i would Assume we could get something like a Underwater (Movie) meets ALIEN... that Progresses to a Alien Resurrection (Company has a Specimen) on a Outpost Facility that then GETS out of Control!

And its DOWN to HOW OUT OF CONTROL and where it gets to that could Determine as to HOW MUCH this could become a Conflict with the Franchise.....  This would be Lessened or Increased depending on WHEN is the TV Series Set!

Overall i think its a BAD PLOT... its asking for Trouble.. but Time will TELL.

Have it SET on a Earthlike World we have Inhabited for 100 Years, and set in the Year 2200+ and they Discover a Sunken Engineer Temple or another Crashed Derelict thats UNDERWATER and i think it could work.

Or you have it SET on Origae-6 some 100 Years after the Prequels.

Resurgence

Well if you stretch enough it’s related,

The Weyland Yutani Corp makes a lot of money, and so do casinos, so yeah.

These editorials have always showed up on every forum, I’ve just accepted it as part of the site.

I don't know but I have played an ALIENS theme slot machine at my local casino

"I just hope its NOT going to go a more Comic like way like MARVEL Series and we see Xenomorphs Running around say NEW YORK or LOS ANGELES"

I was thinking more of Dark Horse comics Aliens Outbreak/Earth Hive, Nightmare Asylum and Female War/Earth War

Umm what does this have to do with alien?

I guess it could in Part Explain as to WHY the Earth looked how it did in Alien Resurrection, but i would prefer it if the Xenomorphs would be KEPT AWAY from Earth.

Thats just my Personnel Opinion though and i raise it as a Concern that we have to HANDLE the Xenomorph with CARE.

I think there is more RISK if your having it SET on Earth, in that if any TV Show or Movie that takes this ROUTE becomes something that BOMBS then the ALIEN Franchise could be Tarnished and made into a JOKE.

However it maybe could WORK if its DONE in the Right Way... but if we see Xenomorphs running around a Urban Setting then i WORRY!  

with AVP we see the Predators had Contained the Temples in the Antarctic and ANY SIGNS of things getting OUT of Control then the WHOLE AREA is NUKED!

So if some Humans have a Specimen in a REMOTE LOCATION in a Heavily Secured Outpost and  then after a Outbreak this Place is then NUKED... then Yeah!  i could maybe BUY THAT.

I just hope its NOT going to go a more Comic like way like MARVEL Series and we see Xenomorphs Running around say NEW YORK or LOS ANGELES

When i look at Alien Resurrection i get the Impression of something more like Raised by Wolves, in which we get to a Point when NOT ONLY have we got WARING FACTIONS of Humans but we also have A.I and even the Autons and so the Earth is suffering from a WAR over WHO will Rule the Planet.

which then maybe Explains that USM are trying to Obtain the Xenomorph as a WEAPON to TRY and Turn the TIDE.

Its too EARLY to be sure about WHAT the TV Series will become but i Fear we will get Starship Troopers Meets AVPR

"i Certainly think having it SET on Earth is a Mistake even if its in the Year 2200+"

Why though? I mean it could explain why the earth ended up in its desolate state by time of Alien Resurrection

We can only wait and see.

It will likely run for 10-12 Episodes at 45 Min each, but maybe it could Start with a up to 2 Hour Prologue then have 10X 45 Min Episodes

Hopefully we should KNOW more come the Spring.

I think you NEED to find the Balance, but i will ASSUME that Once we get the Reveal of the Xenomorph it will NOT be long before we MOVE to more of a ALIENS ACTION and this is maybe where it will Remain.

Its  early to say yet, but Ive heard its NOT set before ALIEN but we have to wait and see when we get more Information, i Certainly think having it SET on Earth is a Mistake even if its in the Year 2200+

I can't wait until I can watch it on Amazon Prime

Beside ALIEN ISOLATION, the rest of these games aren't even part of the ALIEN FRANCHISE

very well done, good imagination!

Great I'll listen to it right away, thanks for sharing!

I think it is a good idea, I have thought of it but not as detailed as you temple run

OMG

“Raised By Wolves” – Second Season of Ridley Scott-Produced HBO Max Series Teaser

this is unlike anything iv ever heard of but i know he is 100% ! ! hear him out you will be glad you did! https://youtu.be/zkaREWRndHo also anyone with questions for this man is asked to leave them on youtube so they can become part of the new part-2 Q & A answering all questions on video. the title of this video is : ex-military man shares experience with highly advanced ORB - SPECIES aka UFO's

It's host was obviously a saiyan

I thought this should be brought up again.

damiendada

Who?

I hope it is good

damiendada

what?

I think the xenomorph should have been held off until Prometheus 3 and that the Engineers should have made the xenomorphs. Not sure if I would out right replace the xenomorph since that would be like replacing Godzilla with a different kaiju

Xenotaris: Ya that's what I've heard too. My problem is how he dealt with that, by making the angry android its creator. Covenant could have done without the monster and just have the Neomorph and maybe other monsters too, but Fox messed up. He seems too stuck on the android tale, so that's why I'm worried if he would have a heavy influence in the next Alien-project.

I would definitely go with Ryan Gosling, for any role.

It rather makes you want! In fact it is the story of the "original" comics that they will transcribe in series ... if this is the case, it can be very nice.

A lot of Scotts ideas were hindered by 20th Century Fox and it was 20th Century Fox that forced a direct xenomorph connection into Prometheus 2/Alien Covenant 

I'm not sure how I feel about this, while I'm happy more people will be able to play isolation, I'm not sure if it will be as good as the original and might sour peoples opinion of the original if they haven't played it

Wow happy to know it, definitely will try it out. This is still one of the best games I ever played ever. 

Ya, not sure about the earth/setting but if they can pull it off then sure why not.

Raised By Wolves? No thanks

If they can make this better than the prequels then why not. We haven't had anything good for a long while in this franchise so if it can excel what we've had after Alien 3 then sure. To have Scott as a producer makes me worried since he might influence this a lot and in that case it might mean more android-crap compared to what what it would have been if he wouldn't have been involved. Hopefully someone can tell him no if he comes up with crappy ideas.

Exactly, I fear this plot line is going to muddy the waters of Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. We can only hope with Ridley on board as a producer that he can steer the storyline in a way to incorporate the elements and timelime of his prequels. Weyland had plenty of interest in exploring the Zeta Reticuli star system for years prior to Prometheus since funding the mission and building the ships would have taken some time to complete.

I hope this series explores more of that corporate angle and maybe what inspired Weyland to obsess over Aliens and Engineers. To neglect that fundamental aspect would be such a disservice to this franchise.

And yeah, Aliens was a suspense / action / horror flick but it's mostly known for its emphasis on action over the likes of Scott's original. But absolutely both are horror films.

hmmm, interesting still nothing beats the PC port

I personally think the series should have taken place after Alien 3 (2180s) if they wanted an earth setting but having set before Alien Covenant is a big mistake.

On a side note, isn't ALIENS already a horror movie, sure action horror but its still horror.

Basically that's what I gather... Not totally sure how I feel about it. I think the Earth setting is a mistake. But we'll see how it plays out. If it's anything like HBO's Raised by Wolves I wouldn't mind it! 

So essentially ALIENS set on semi-futuristic Earth

I don't mind Xenos being on earth as long as its set after ALIENS/ALIEN 3

Well I already have xenomorphs as an engineer creation in AVPU that naturally evolves from its earlier forms millions of years ago. The evolution of the Queen caste in AVPU is the sign of the xenomorphs gaining independence from the Engineers. Of coarse this isn't in my fanfiction yet but in my creative notes on world anvil.

"To EVOLVE them where they then Speak to Each other... would be a Mistake they should RELY on a Telepathic Communication..... we dont need any JERRY'S LOL"

I already have the Xenomorph Queen and higher castes being telepathic.
Also Jerry is a not a real xenomorph, he is a robot that looks like a xenomorph similar to how you have talking teddy bears from the movie A.I.

So far in what is in my fanfiction as of now are early attempts of humanity trying to control the xenomorphs through genetic manipulation and cybernetic augmentations.

I think with the Xenomorph and its Evolution you are left with TWO ways to go.

1) A Natural Evolution, the Xenomorph could be a Species that has a RAPID kind of Evolution and Adaption, and so WHO KNOWS as to HOW FAR and FAST they could Evolve.....  8000+ Years ago Mankind was living in Caves with simple Stone Tools.... we had LIVED this way for 10's of Thousands of Years.  before we Gradually Evolved through Various AGES until we saw a RAPID EVOLUTION as FAR as Technologically in the Last 200 Years.

But i am talking about Knowledge/Technology etc as Opposed to a Physical Evolution.  So how we got from Stone Age to Space Age took a LONG TIME.. could the Xenomorph be able to Progress at a Faster Pace?

But then you can also look at Genetically/Physically as far as Evolution too.

A Human has NOT changed much over 10's of Thousands of Years..... we may Change so Little in Thousands of Years Time...... NATURALLY.

But i think if we saw Humans in 3000 Years we may look Very Different as i think we would EVOLVE ourselves in a Artificial Way..... which brings us too.

2) Artificial/Engineered Evolution....  the Xenomorph becomes Evolved via Experimentation and a HUBRIS in doing such a thing.....  this KIND of Hubris is what we see with the Planet of the Apes Plot.....

The Plot to TIE in a Xenomorph to Synthetics/A.I is ONE that has Disappointed a Number of Fans... but it makes Sense..... if Synthetics become Sentient, then using the Xenomorph and Evolving it to become a KILLING MACHINE to USE on Humans make Sense... because the Xenomorph requires Humans as Hosts, so it would HAVE NO Interest in Harming a Synthetic unless they GET in the WAY.

There is a PROBLEM with Evolving the Xenomorph though....

While it may be Limited as it is.... i think you have to be CAREFUL as to HOW MUCH you go and Evolve them.

The Xenomorph has NO MORALS it just SURVIVES like a Insect, Spider etc it has the Instinct to Survive and Procreate..... a BASIC INSTINCT.

To EVOLVE them where they then Speak to Each other... would be a Mistake they should RELY on a Telepathic Communication..... we dont need any JERRY'S LOL

To have them Building Space Ships and the LIKE would maybe make them become just a Star-Ship Troopers with Xenomorphs... this could LOOK like the Warhammer Tyranids... but would this WORK?

Having them EVOLVE to ADAPT to their Environment and Methods of Procreation i think is DEFINITELY something we should Expect the Organism to be able to do.

I think when looking at BOTH KINDS of Evolution you have to ASK the Questions.

A) What is the Xenomorphs END GAME/AGENDA?

B) What would be the END GAME/AGENDA of anyone who wants to Experiment/Re-Engineer the Xenomorph?

Because the Answer to these SHOULD then FORM as to HOW the Xenomorph would/could Evolve.

"So they are pulling a lying creator trope? I certainly hope so!"

Not sure what you mean by that, what i was saying is that while Noah Hawley says the TV Show would be SET in the Not Too Distant Future... it Really Depends on WHAT he sees as NOT TOO DISTANT.

So we could Assume this is like within 50 Years but then it could be within 100 Years.  I am going to Assume that its LIKELY to be set between 2040-2060, it does seem that it WILL be SET before ALIEN though.

And so YES we will be seeing Xenomorphs on the Rampage on Earth in PRIOR to when Ellen Ripley had ever Encountered One on the Nostromo.

I just think you have to be Careful, and HOPE that it would be in a Outpost in a Secluded Area that then gets NUKED with NO TRACE before we get to ALIEN and see a Cover-Up.

But Personally if it was down to me then Xenomorphs prior to Alien Covenant would be a NO NO! and Xenomorphs on Earth prior to say 2200 would be a NO NO!  I would even NOT want to see them EVER get to Earth ideally if i am Honest.

I have lately been flip floping on how I should uplift the xenomorphs for my later chapters to the AVPU. Should I make them more Zerg/Tyrranid-like, have a control unit like Mass Effect's Reapers, a new hybrid species, or a combination of the two?

Should the xenomorphs in the end be more like a rogue machine needing an updated software or a growing alien threat?

I am not sure how I would evolve the species, it takes us into new territories where anything could happen. But the main thing if we evolved the xenomorph, what traits do we keep and traits do we take away and how would this effect them both in-universe and out-universe
