There are some nice things in “Alien: Earth” Trailer released this weekAnd we don’t just mean space beasties that are not similar to our favorite signature fall -shaped horror. In addition to a blonde-haired Timothy Olyphant who speaks of the critical car on board the unfortunate shipwreck that we will investigate in Noah Hawley’s new TV series, there is an important additional function given to Androids that can send the synth in directions that we could never have imagined.
A big surprise teased in the new series is that Sydney Chandler, which looks to play the show’s main character, Wendy, is undergoing a wild transformation. At Neverland Test Facility, Wendy (if it is her real name, given the name’s connection to the title of the science base), is a seemingly sick young girl, that her consciousness is transferred to an adult Android body for unknown reasons, which achieve a successful result. What is interesting about this is that this particular procedure is the same as used in another beloved sci-fi franchise-but unfortunately it occurred in one of the least liked payments of the franchise.
Human to-the-robot body replacement was a major plot point in Terminator: Salvation
Throw your mind back, if you wish, at a time when an almost Arnie-Smindre entry to the “Terminator” franchis was made in 2009, through the MCG-directed “Terminator: Salvation” (Which one, I’m sure the time is the one that Arnie thought was sucking). The film saw Christian Bale as John Connor, the leader of the human resistance, with the help of his wife, Kate Connor (Bryce Dallas Howard) and a mysterious stranger named Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington). Located in a world after the verdict, the big twist of the picture was that Wright, which had no memory of the machines’ attack on humanity, was in fact a previous criminal who had donated himself to be transferred to a robot body, which made him a half terminator. The film even ended with Wright giving up its heart to save Connor after experiencing an almost deadly attack from a terminator as well, which proven that machines are not bad after all. Hurray.
When it comes to wavy franchise ideas, this was not very horrible. But it was all a matter of execution, which was not so great, rightly to put “Terminator: Salvation” as The best of the worst “Terminator” movies. It is this wild progress in nailed Franchiselore that now looks to be applied to the series “Alien”, which makes the idea that Androids are used as surrogate vessels quite interesting. In a franchise that has handled the concept of life and brutal, wince-inducing deaths via xenomorph attacks, can the alien level be lowered if our heroes can simply come back from the brink?
Can Alien: The Earth changes the game for fictional people in a foreign infected scenario?
Imagine that Weyland-Yutani in 2120, exhausted from the efforts to discover the meaning of life after the cured Prometheus mission, decides to take a different path and use the Androids that it has been built as alternative methods for eternal life. Illness, injury and aging are no longer factors for Wendy, who have a new body to run with. In fact, even Xenomorfer is a problem anymore.
By taking the Chumbawamba method, there is a possibility that even if Wendy gets beaten, can she stand up again in a whole new body would she get stuck at the wrong end of a foreigner? We have already met several artificial people who look like Ian Holm’s ashes (last seen arose as a CGI’D Rook in “Alien: Romulus”) And Michael Fassbenders David. Factoring in Wendy and all these contacts with “Peter Pan”, can the question of several models for Sydney Chandler’s character see her live a “edge of tomorrow” -like existence? One who sees her live, dying and repeating close meetings with one of the most frightening space waders in popular culture? We must see if that is the case and that makes it alive with their rib cage intact when “Alien: Earth” lands on Hulu on August 12, 2025.
