The Alien franchise is heading to television for the first time thanks to FX.
Here’s everything we know about the new TV series so far.
WhiletheAlien Vs Predator movieswerent well-liked, they did provide a relatively clear, simple prequel to this saga.
ThenPrometheuscame along and swiftly retconned all ofAlien Vs Predatoras well as complicating the rest of the franchise immeasurably.
This makesPrometheuss black goopivotal to the entire franchises story, but its barely mentioned again.
Instead, it is only mentioned in this movie and never addressed before or after the prequel.
If the monster occurs naturally, then the companys plans are much more morally dubious.
However, it is not onlyAlien Vs Predator that this twist disrupts.
An existential space-set drama likeInterstellar,Ad Astra, or2001: A Space Odysseyseems better suited to this material.
In theAlienfranchise, the Engineers are effectively living evidence of a creator god.
After all, there cant be that big a gulf in tech terms.
The same is true of Bishop fromAliensor Andy fromAlien: Romulus.
Alien: Romulusis currently available to stream on Amazon and Apple TV.
