Do you write sci fi? There is a new television series called Alien: Earth (as in the Alien movies, it’s set in the same universe a couple years before the first alien movie in timeline ) I definitely recommend watching if you haven’t already
The concept is really cool and I feel like you could really create a good plot with an oc
Babes, you are speaking my language.
Honestly I love the Aliens / Predators/ Aliens vs Predators franchise. Sci-Fi is one of my favorite genres and I’ve been toying with the idea of doing something within that franchise for a while. But I have yet to see Alien Earth because I’m waiting for the finale so I can just binge watch it all. I actually just saw a commercial for it this afternoon.
Instant gratification has me by the throat, I fear.
But I could go into a really deep conversation about how the Alien franchise plays with the concept of bodily autonomy and the violation of women under capitalism which also ties into how the predator movies put these stereotypically “macho” men in really feminine roles through the act of voyeurism and how it reflects what women go through. Honestly this franchise is just so complex and interesting.
Which, you know, if you watch the films this is a pretty obvious theme… but it’s interesting to see how men, who are usually the main focus in science fiction films especially in the 70s/80s, are being placed in really feminine roles. Men are the ones being violated, brutalized, and murdered by a predatory force that is bigger and badder and scarier than they are.
