But in the scheme of things, there are only a select few whose opinions <em>really<\/em> matter for those who\u2019ve been following the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/alien-movie-timeline-explained-alien-204117408.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Alien movie timeline;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><em>Alien<\/em> movie timeline<\/a> since the missions began, and scream queen Sigourney Weaver is certainly a big part of that list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/after-sigourney-weaver-alien-return-comments-time-resurrect-neil-blomkamp-sequel-idea\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Weaver\u2019s potential return to the role of Ripley;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Weaver\u2019s potential return to the role of Ripley<\/a> aside, her opinions about new canonical projects are always valued by the fandom, since she\u2019s arguably had more experience with the franchise than anyone else. So when she opened up about having watched <em>Alien: Earth<\/em>, ears were perked. She told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/sigourney-weaver-alien-earth-reaction\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Collider;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Collider<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What I admire about it is it&#8217;s not Alien-centric. It is about what world we will be living in in 100 years. I think the scope of it is so much bigger than an Alien project. Fascinating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To her point, pulling this sci-fi narrative away from the saliva-dripping Xenomorphs and putting it more on humanity was a big reason why Noah Hawley wanted to devote himself to this project from the jump. As it goes with most iconic horror properties, the monsters always get the marquee attention, but it&#8217;s the human elements that make the projects relatable and keep audiences coming back for more. It helps when the human characters aren&#8217;t just ciphers of archetypes, also, and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/alien-earth-creator-explains-episode-171538980.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Alien: Earth definitely has more complex ideas at play;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><em>Alien: Earth<\/em> definitely has more complex ideas at play<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Weaver specifically pointed out how much she enjoys the show&#8217;s digging into its core themes, despite not painting humanity in a very positive light. As she put it:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Much more about our world, what&#8217;s going to be happening to it, what&#8217;s going to be important, the role of greed. It&#8217;s just exploded some of the themes that have always been part of the Alien series, and I think it&#8217;s beautifully cast and beautifully done. I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s television, frankly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Case in point, the fifth episode was crafted more or less as a full-length prequel companion to Ridley Scott&#8217;s <em>Alien<\/em>, with the <em>Maginot<\/em> ship serving as more or less a mirror image of the <em>Nostromo<\/em>. It played out with much more of a survival horror vibe than prior episodes, trading a vastness in scope for close-quarters terror, showing off just how much budgetary scope the show is afforded by FX and Hulu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The show is always noteworthy for putting the focus on Weyland-Yutani and its current execs, rather than having them serve in an overarching antagonistic role as per usual. Having the billionaire genius Boy Kavalier as a separate antagonist only ups the ante, while also keeping greed and selfishness at the forefront. Poor Wendy and the other kids.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Carrie Henn and Sigourney Weaver in Aliens\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/JYW13e3N8Lkdwt6_HENkYw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/f6a6a08ccdbcfa5dbee9faae37cdc569\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Carrie Henn and Sigourney Weaver in Aliens<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>&#8211; <\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/stunned-sigourney-weaver-remembers-getting-195130555.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sigourney Weaver Remembers Getting The Script For Aliens After The First Movie's Success And Having An Intense Reaction;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><strong>Sigourney Weaver Remembers Getting The Script For Aliens After The First Movie&#8217;s Success And Having An Intense Reaction<\/strong><\/a><br \/><strong>&#8211; <\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/sigourney-weaver-told-aliens-handing-130701904.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sigourney Weaver Told Me About Aliens Handing Her Drinks And Puppeteers Making Grogu Come Alive On The Mandalorian Movie Set;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><strong>Sigourney Weaver Told Me About Aliens Handing Her Drinks And Puppeteers Making Grogu Come Alive On The Mandalorian Movie Set<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Will fans get to see Sigourney Weaver&#8217;s Ripley making an appearance in Noah Hawley&#8217;s series?
