The iconic sci-fi franchise has always revolved around a shape-shifting alien creature that can change its physical form to adapt and survive. This ability to mutate is not only a trait of the parasitic Weyland-Yutani corporation but also a staple of the Alien movies, where it is hunted by various characters including space truckers, Marines, and miners. The new FX series “Alien: Earth” takes this concept to new heights, paying homage to the existing Alien media while introducing its own unique twists and life cycle, breaking free from the traditional narrative constraints.
