Alien Romulus Promises To End A 38 Year Franchise Trend
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although Alien: Romulus promises to keep many Alien franchise traditions alive, at least one element of the reboot will be a major departure from a recent series trend. The Alien movies have been through many incarnations, all of which differ from each other greatly. 1979’s original Alien was a horror movie, while 1986’s Aliens was an action-forward sci-fi thriller with more firepower.
Alien: Romulus Features A Heroic Droid Star Cailee Spaeny Explained The Synthetic Character’s Role Close In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, star Cailee Spaeny explained that Andy, the synthetic character in Alien: Romulus, won’t necessarily be a villain. Per Spaeny, ”Rain’s brother is a synthetic. She loves him like her brother, but there are difficulties growing up with a synthetic.” Throughout the Alien franchise, android characters have typically been unambiguously villainous figures.
The Alien Franchise’s Androids Are Typically Villains Alien, Alien: Covenant, and Prometheus Featured Evil Androids Apart from an important exception, the Alien movies typically depicted androids as inherently untrustworthy beings. Ash was a heartless killer who was loyal to Weyland-Yutani instead of his colleagues, while David was a monster with a god complex who engineered the genocide of an entire alien race in Alien: Covenant.
While Alien using Ash as an embodiment of inhumane corporate culture was clever, the gag was overextended in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Fassbender provided a mesmerizing performance as David in both movies, but his character arc ended up overshadowing the main plot of the prequels.
