The Alien movie canon is getting tricky, and recent installments have now ruined this one moment of James Cameron's Aliens.
movie franchise is a mess, and it doesn’t look like a knot that’s going to get untied anytime soon. In fact, astook a sharp turn from Ridley Scott’s original film, changing the tone from a sci-fi/horror nightmare to an action-horror thrill ride.
Cameron was clearly interested in expanding the lore that Scott established – not just with the xenomorph creatures and their life cycle , but also with the megacorporations behind the dangerous expedition that doomed the crew of the USCSSoccurs after Ellen Ripley has been awakened from cryostasis after nearly 60 years of drifting in space. Ripley is debriefed by executives from Weyland-Yutani, the megacorporation that employed her, and the interview doesn’t go well., Ripley is trying to convince the Weyland-Yutani execs that the threat of the xenomorph is very real. Unfortunately, the corporate suits don’t buy Ripley’s story, citing a total lack of evidence; in fact, one female exec sums it up by calling into question how Weyland-Yutani could’ve missed discovering the xenomorph species, “something never recorded once in over 300 surveyed worlds.” They go so far as to read all the traits of the creatures Ripley described, with total skepticism that such an organism can even exist. Cameron’s film put much greater emphasis on the “monstrosity” of capitalism and a future run by corporate oligarchies, turning Weyland-Yutani’s skepticism about xenomorphs into a metaphor for how rampant greed could lead to biological and ecological disaster. As Ripley eventually says to her corporate liaison, Burke , humans are worse monsters than xenomorphs, due to their penchant for betraying each other for profit.already stretched credibility to the limit with its opening scene: Weyland-Yutani scientists salvaging the body of the xenomorph from the wreckage of the USCSS, and using it to reverse-engineer the “compound Z-01” mutagen created by the Engineer race. That scientific breakthrough was the entire catalyst for the story of Romulus – but it obviously doesn’t jibe with Ripley’s debriefing scene inHow could Weyland-Yutani executives not be aware that xenomorphs existed by the time Ellen Ripley was begging them to do something about them on LV-426? And why would the company create an entire colony on the planet?have demonstrated, many factions and folds exist within the Weyland-Yutani corporation that don’t necessarily play well with one another. The Weyland and Yutani families each seem to be following their own agendas, while the science and/or bio-weapons divisions seem to operate in a compartmentalized structure, so that one hand often doesn’t know what the other one is doing. Some fans have already re-written their own head-canon to reframe the originalcrew purposefully being sent to LV-426 by some Weyland-Yutani executive, who secretly knew about the xenomorphs’ existence and their potential value to the company.film, but try to acknowledge them all, in some way.
