Alien is a multimedia film franchise created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, that codified science fiction Body Horror. The franchise, which spans films, novels, comic books, and video games, helped to launch the careers of creators like Ridley Scott, James Cameron, and Sigourney Weaver.The series revolves around the "Xenomorphs", alien monsters with acid blood that spawn by bursting out of other organisms' chests and try to kill or...bring to the hive just about anything that isn't them. Most works involve humans encountering the creatures, with horrific results. The monsters' designs were the work of H. R. Giger.A wide array of crossover works with Fox's other famous science fiction alien monster, the Predator, also exist. For more information on those, see the Alien vs. Predator page. See also Xenomorph Xerox for similar creatures in other franchises.

Psychosexual Horror
 Alien (Franchise) / int_1073963d
comment
Psychosexual Horror: The titular creature is rife with Freudian imagery and was originally created as an explicit rape allegory. The facehugger phase of the creature has a vagina-like opening with a phallic proboscis that orally violates the victim. The chestburster itself is entirely phallic-shaped. The adult phase features a similarly phallic head shape, and the way it kills Lambert is rife with sexual assault undertones.

Canon Foreigner: The comics, games, novels and toys introduce many characters and alien varieties that are ignored by the films. Kenner's Aliens toyline introduces the alien-animal hybrids Arachnid, Boar, Bull, Cougar, Crab, Gorilla, Mantis, Panther, Rhino, Scorpion, Snake, and Swarm. Each includes an Aliens: Space Marines mini-comic giving further details. The Alien King and Queen Face Hugger/Giant Face Hugger may be related to alien varieties in other media. A Jockey-Xenomorph appears in the comic Aliens: Apocalypse and the game Aliens: Infestation. This form is unlikely now that Prometheus changed the earlier Space Jockey concept into the Engineers.

Bizarre Alien Biology
 Alien (Franchise) / int_1161fb48
comment
Bizarre Alien Biology: The xenomorphs' caustic "blood" is more akin to battery acid than the nutrient distribution matrix other creatures have. It reacts with the metals the xenomorphs absorb from their meals to generate electricity, which they live off of. They also have a "mesoskeleton" of polarized silicon, basically meaning their hides are made of glass. Their nails and teeth are made of a silver-colored metallic material, possibly iron. Their tongues have their own mouth (when it's not adapted into a resin-secreting proboscis in the case of the Worker). Under their cranial shell/frontal lobe area is a remarkably human skull. They absorb traits from the species they parasitize, and their reproductive process is more or less haplodiplontic (a seed produces a number of highly mutable spores that grow into a more adapted offspring, something only seen in certain fungi on Earth).

Snowy Screen of Death
 Alien (Franchise) / int_119f77c0
comment
Snowy Screen of Death: This tends to happen all the time whenever there's constantly chest-bursting parasitic extraterrestrial organisms abound: In Alien, the monitor screen shows static when the connection to Dallas breaks off as he is attacked by the monster. In Aliens, each crew member's helmet camera and vital signs are hooked to a screen and any time somebody dies, their screen goes static. Happens repeatedly in one scene in Alien: Resurrection, as the Space Marines get picked off one by one.

Genre Shift
 Alien (Franchise) / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: The "quadrilogy" all share a narrative, yet are all wildly different from each other. The first film is a cinema verite-style look at space truckers who find themselves in a sci-fi Slasher Film. The script is sparse and eschews exposition in favor of suggestion and lets the visionary visuals carry the story. The second film is a muscular '80s action film with a tight script and flawless pacing that sets up and knocks down plot points with mechanical precision. It also delves into the trauma the Retired Badass heroine of the first film has to deal with, as part of its "Vietnam in space" allegory. The third film attempted to return to the style of the first film, but its director, who cut his teeth on music videos, lends it a sumptuous stylized industrial atmosphere and tried his damnedest to make the eight different scripts he was handed work as a cohesive whole. The oppressively apocalyptic air punctuated by hopeful Christian spirituality (aided by Eliot Goldenthal's ecclestically-tinged score) also helps it stand out from its two predecessors, for better or for worse. The fourth film is American postmodern wittiness meets French postmodern weirdness. The direction shifts from operatic to self-depreciating with no rhyme or reason and the script was allegedly written as camp but is played with straight-laced seriousness. Trying to reconcile the sheer oddness on display with the grimy industrial aesthetic of the first three films is liable to make your head blow apart.

Artificial Human: Ash, Bishop and Call (a bit of franchise-wide Theme Naming which Prometheus appears to have continued with David). Ash from the first movie is a particularly sinister example, since he secretly protects the Alien as part of his assignment and betrays the other crew members.

Crapsack World: The Dark Horse comic series is one hellish place to live.

The Aliens overrun Earth and more than one character wonders if we deserved it.

Genre Blindness: Of all people, the CEO of Weyland-Yutani themselves. In their mad obsession to acquire the Xenomorph, they seem to keep forgetting that sending a bunch of "expendables" who are out of the loop to inadvertently bring the Alien back to Earth and planting a mole in the team always backfires on them when the protagonists inevitably figure out they were set up and then kill the Aliens themselves. Though, it looks to have finally succeeded in Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Captain Ersatz: The two main characters in the first two arcs of the comic series were Newt and Hicks. When Alien 3 killed the characters off, future printings of the comic changed their names to Billie and Wilks, though this seems an odd choice in retrospect, as their backstories remained identical and the comics had diverged so sharply from the movies by that point that keeping them in step with one another seems irrelevant.

The Hero Dies: Seems to be a trend in the series, starting with Alien³ and continuing from there since all of the survivors of Aliens, even including Ripley herself, all die in Alien³, Shaw is killed by David at some point after the events of Prometheus, and the ending of Alien: Covenant heavily implies that the same fate awaits Daniels.

Sequel Escalation: Alien has one Xenomorph Drone preying on seven "space truckers." Aliens has a fully-fledged hive of Xenomorph Drones and their Queen pitted against a platoon of Space Marines. Alien³ reverts right on back to the original scenario with only one Xenomorph Runner attacking and killing off twenty-two prisoners and their three local overseers in a desperate attempt to ensure the survival of a Royal Chest Burster currently incubating within none other than Ellen Ripley herself in fact. Alien: Resurrection escalates it to a whole hive of cloned Xenomorph Drones, their also cloned Queen, and even a hybrid Newborn Xenomorph specimen seen near the end of the film again.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 Alien (Franchise) / int_420c50b7
comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Invoked in the films, but pushed to the extreme in the prequels. In the original Alien, Ash's directive to preserve the lifeform even at the expense of the crew evolves into a strange admiration for the creature as well as a peculiar sadism, particularly toward Ripley. In Alien: Covenant, David goes completely off his programming and begins to develop a god complex. Bishop in Aliens and Alien 3 averts this, explained as having stricter safeguards than the one that went against the crew in the first film. But by Alien: Resurrection, androids have been outlawed with orders to "destroy on sight" because some of them started to make "children".

comment
Neil Blompkamp's film was suggested to ignore 3 (and Resurrection by extension) due to early concept art featuring an older version of Newt, who had a bridge dropped upon her in the opening of that film.note Hicks was revealed to have survived in Aliens: Colonial Marines. Blomkamp clarified that his film would not be retconning them, while Sigourney Weaver indicated it would be set in an Alternate Timeline.

Trope Codifier
 Alien (Franchise) / int_44bd31e2
comment
Trope Codifier: The series as a whole is this for Used Future, along with Star Wars (which Cameron cites as a direct inspiration). Aliens in particular defined the Standard Human Spaceship visual style for humans and their military tech in a Standard Sci Fi Setting. Babylon 5, FreeSpace, StarCraft, Halo, and Mass Effect (to name a few) all draw on it. In a case of a work codifying tropes for an entirely different medium, the films cemented a number of formulae embraced by First-Person Shooters and Third-Person Shooters several years after the second film. The gun-floating-on-the-bottom-of-the-screen P.O.V. Cam and target-centered Over the Shoulder shots from the Marine gunner's incursion and Ripley's final assault on the hive, for instance, are prototypes for the standard screen layouts of both genres, as well as the cramped hallway sieges that defined the early days of 3D shooters. The gunner's flashy heavy weaponry, the grenade launcher on the assault rifles, and Ripley's kludged-together multi-firearm, meanwhile, together established a precedent that ensured the future prominence of tropes like Gatling Good, Swiss-Army Gun, Secondary Fire, Walking Armory, and the BFG.

Humans Are the Real Monsters: In all the films except for Alien³, the Xenomorphs are set loose due to human greed mixed with incompetence. Even in the third movie however the only reason the Company sends a rescue mission to Fiorina "Fury" 161 is because they suspect Ripley to be currently carrying a Xenomorph embryo. Otherwise they'd basically abandoned their Hellhole Prison planet because it was unprofitable.

Ethnicity Monarch: In the Expanded Universe, the Xenomorph species is ruled by a Queen Mother, which even outranks the more commonly-known Queens. The Queen Mother telepathically controls every Xenomorph in the known universe and can even control humans and other species whether living or dead.

 Alien (Franchise) / int_539ae07a
comment
Empowered Badass Normal: Ellen Ripley was a normal human who Took a Level in Badass by the end of Aliens by destroying an entire Xenomorph hive by herself, fighting against acid-bleeding parasitic Xenomorphs. Then by Alien: Resurrection her clone Ripley 8, who shares most of her memories, receives some Xenomorph DNA as a result of a flaw in the cloning process, resulting in Ripley's very own blood becoming slightly acidic as she gets a psychic connection with the Xenomorphs, has reduced empathy and predatory instincts, shows an increase in strength, and is able to shrug off being hit in the face with a loaded barbell.

Smoking Is Cool: Aside from the vice of Must Have Caffeine, every single heroic adult character (well, aside from the Dirty Coward Lambert) with spoken lines in the Alien Franchise is bound to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day like a chimney. The cigarettes in question have just as much filter as smoke, and are noted to be "denicotined" in the novelizations.

Air-Vent Passageway: Both humans and Xenomorphs make good use of air vents to get around without the other side noticing. The Xenomorph in the first film moves around the spaceship using air vents. In the second film, Newt survives by hiding in the air vents, and the Marines make their escape through the same vents. Newt uses them for more aggressive purposes in the Dark Horse adaptation.

Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions
 Alien (Franchise) / int_66181568
comment
Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions: Averted. The first two films are silent about religion, but In Alien³ the inmates of the prison colony have got religion. In Alien: Resurrection the space station has a chapel, and one character makes the Sign of the Cross upon entering, which is a typically Catholic observance and a somewhat old-fashioned one at that. This character is later revealed to be an android, and there is a mention of androids investigating religion for a morality which is chosen, rather than imposed through programming. In Prometheus, Elizabeth Shaw is a Christian. Not much is made of this, but she clearly keeps her faith; her last act is to give the date, in the style "year of Our Lord."

Canon Welding: Much like their decision with Star Wars, Disney had to make a call with Alien canon once the films shifted over to them and the comics to Marvel. Their franchise consultant, scifi writer Andrew Gaska, who also sorted out Planet of the Apes canon, has declared that any expanded universe material that did not contradict the six main films can now be considered canon, including Alien: Isolation, the 40th Anniversary shorts, the Alien RPG, Aliens: Bug Hunt, and most of the later Dark Horse comics. Things that contradict the main film series, such Alien vs. Predator, the earlier Dark Horse comics, or Aliens: Colonial Marines, are labelled "barroom canon"; tall tales and rumours told by roughnecks and raconteurs in distant saloons.

Baby Planet: The tiny moon that came to be known as LV-426 was just another dime-a-dozen planetoid barely 1,200 meters in diameter, so small that it's gravity is only 0.86 that of Earth's; another insignificant rock with a primordial and unbreathable atmosphere destined to be forgotten in the vastness of space... were it not for the ghost-ship of an unknown Alien civilization broadcasting a mysterious warning to not explore its cavernous innards... a warning unfortunately ignored by both the crew of the Weyland Yutani towing vehicle Nostromo, and the colonists of Hadley's Hope 57 years after the former mysteriously disapeared...

Cold Sleep, Cold Future
 Alien (Franchise) / int_74e24e75

Cold Sleep, Cold Future: The world seems to get a little bit grimmer each time Ripley wakes up. In the first film, the Company is willing to risk the lives of a ship's crew to get its hands on an Alien. In the second film, the Company (or at least Burke) is willing to sacrifice a whole colony to breed Aliens. In the third film, Ripley wakes up on a planet that is inhabited solely by a prison. In the fourth film, the megacorporations have given way to an even more irresponsible military that actually goes through with Alien genetic testing. The comic book canon is far worse than even this.

Transformation Horror
 Alien (Franchise) / int_7eda7f78
comment
Transformation Horror: Of the Slow Transformation subtype. As shown in a scene from the Alien - Director's Cut and novelization, and explained in Alien: The Roleplaying Game, an alien drone in the absence of a queen will instinctively abduct other creatures, bind them in its nest, and inject them via its tail with an invasive bacteria which will cause their body to gradually metamorphize into a new alien egg.note (This will continue as victims are available until one of the eggs produces a "royal" facehugger, which will in turn implant an embryonic queen into a host. Once a queen is born, she will produce eggs at a faster rate than the ovamorphic conversion and their numbers will rapidly increase as they move into the "hive" stage of their development.) If the creature being transformed is lucky, the alien will have smashed enough of its skull to leave it comatose through this process. If not, the creature may be fully aware of what's happening to it with no ability to move or stop it...

Space Clothes: Averted. The crew members wear normal clothes. People entering cryogenic sleep strip down to their underwear; otherwise, they usually walk around in civilian/military attire.

Better to Die than Be Killed: This is how those knowing what's coming while impregnated feel. Subverted in the Newt's Tale comic series. During the colonist's final stand against the xenomorphs, Newt's mother picks up a gun and looks at her children (intending to put them out of their misery before turning the gun on herself). She gets ready to pull the trigger...and then Newt tells her there's another way, and leads them towards a ventilation grate during the attack. Not that it helps, considering that her mother and brother get killed off in short order, forcing her to flee into the duct.

Canon Discontinuity
 Alien (Franchise) / int_a32334b4
comment
Canon Discontinuity: The Dark Horse comics totally ignore 3 and Resurrection because they were written before Alien 3 came along and killed everyone. In the subsequent novelizations, Newt and Hicks were replaced by Billie and Wilks and Ripley was revealed to be a artificial person with implanted memories. The Out of the Shadows trilogy serves as a Continuity Reboot for the expanded universe, disregarding the comics and other novels, aside from a few little nods. The second book very nearly decanonized 3 and Resurrection as well, before Fox changed their mind and asked the author to include references to them. Neil Blompkamp's film was suggested to ignore 3 (and Resurrection by extension) due to early concept art featuring an older version of Newt, who had a bridge dropped upon her in the opening of that film.note Hicks was revealed to have survived in Aliens: Colonial Marines. Blomkamp clarified that his film would not be retconning them, while Sigourney Weaver indicated it would be set in an Alternate Timeline.

And I Must Scream: This trope can apply to those patched to a wall in the hive with a facehugger soon to latch on. In the comics, a teenaged Newt falls in love with a Colonial Marine, who turns out to be an Artificial Human with more advanced emotions. He makes a Heroic Sacrifice by staying behind on an infested military base to allow her to escape, but this leaves him trapped on a Ghost Ship (the Xenomorphs leave him alone because he's useless to them for breeding) that can never return to civilization because of the risk.

Space Marine: A platoon of Colonial Marines is dispatched to investigate a human colony that has gone silent. They find a xenomorph hive and are largely wiped out, destroying the hive and killing the Queen in turn. Colonial Marines are frequent characters in expanded universe materials, either actively-serving or retired, and they're frequently pitted against Xenomorphs (more rarely, Yautjas) and suffer high casualties because of it. The ones who survive become (or already were) unspeakably badass.

Absent Aliens: Despite the name, the series might count as this: The titular Aliens aren't sapient and are basically intelligent animals and Alien: Covenant reveals (or retcons, depending on your viewpoint) that they were actually created by a human-built android. The novelization and Alien: The Roleplaying Game say that David copied his Xenomorph from earlier Engineer designs. The Engineers are a race of Precursors who created humanity but are wiped out in a flashback in Covenant. Though Ridley Scott said if he got to do a sequel six Engineers who weren't on the planet at the time would have shown up. The Colonial Marines in Aliens mention dealing with "Arcturians" but James Cameron refused to give much information about what they are (the interaction is in the context of sexual hijinks during R&R, which the Marines seemed eager to get back to). While there have been two crossover movies with the Predator franchise, Ridley Scott considers them non-canon and deliberately contradicted them when writing the backstory for Prometheus.

MegaCorp: Weyland-Yutani is the very epitome of this trope. They control every Earth government and have colonized many star systems. Not only that, but they have a private army with a bioweapons division. They have prison planets as well, such as the one in the third movie. The fourth movie changes this up by referring to megacorps like Weyland-Yutani as a thing of the past, though the government that replaces them is just as bad, if not worse.

All Gravity Is the Same: Going by the movies, LV-426 seems to have standard gravity but the novelization and screenplay say it has a diameter of 1,200 km. If this was the case, it would visibly be a Baby Planet with a ridiculously dense core to generate any kind of gravity. The Colonial Marines Technical Manual says its gravity is 0.86G and gives it a more realistic diameter of 12,201 km.

Zombie Infectee: Most people who know they're incubated by an Alien Facehugger, and its effects, choose to bite the bullet or die in a Heroic Sacrifice. One memorable scene from Alien: Resurrection involved an infectee bear-hugging the scientist responsible for his infection, forcing the Chestburster to go through his chest and the scientist's head, taking his murderer with him to the afterlife. This was actually done in the comic, many years before, but the artists had the creature enter the researcher's chest.

Continuity Snarl: Whether chestbusters can be removed without killing the host. It's implied in Alien 3, shown in Alien Resurrection, confirmed in the comic book Labyrinth, and rejected in Colonial Marines. Other supplementary materials state that even if the chestburster were successfully removed, the host would eventually die of complications arising from the infection process. Alien: The Roleplaying Game took the position that infection is almost guaranteed terminal, as the incubating chestburster's placental sac grows cancer-like tendrils throughout the body to shunt nutrients from the host back to it as quickly as possible, and a host isn't likely to survive their removal.

Schrödinger's Canon
 Alien (Franchise) / int_e1636077
comment
Schrödinger's Canon: Possibly a messier one than fellow Fox-cum-Disney franchise Star Wars: First, the Dark Horse Comics Aliens comics, which followed older versions of Hicks, Newt, and Ripley on a new Alien-stomping adventure. Once Alien³ came out, and those characters were all off the table, the stories were retconned to follow Suspiciously Similar Substitutes Wilks, Billie, and an android programmed to think she was Ripley. More expanded universe material was released, including the Aliens vs. Predator crossovers, until the Alien: Out of the Shadows trilogy rebooted the EU continuity, relegating all previous EU to Schrodinger's Canon. Interesting, part of the Shadows trilogy would have "observed false" Alien³ and Alien: Resurrection, a rare case of an EU work decanonizing a prime media work, until Fox vetoed that. Ridley Scott took pains to decanonize the Aliens vs. Predator portion of the franchise with Prometheus and Covenant, leading to at least two EU continuities, one with Predators and one without. Then, new EU material, such as Alien: The Roleplaying Game and Aliens: Fireteam Elite again attempt to provide a single, cohesive version of the Alien 'Verse, making references to each other, and to some previously-decanonized EU. . . but make no real mention of the Shadows Trilogy or other works based on them. Notably, the Shadows trilogy decanonized the Praetorian caste of Alien, yet Praetorians appear in both the RPG and Fireteam. Neil Blomkamp's Alien film would have split the timeline again, being a direct sequel to Aliens and taking place in an alternate continuity. The end result is that any given piece of EU material can take place in at least one of five separate continuities: pre-Alien 3 (with Predators), post-Alien 3 (with Predators), post-Shadows (with or without Predators), post-Covenant (without Predators), or post-RPG (still without Predators, at least for now).

Hero Killer: As under "The Hero Dies", a lot of heroic characters die because of the Xenomorphs, including the crews of the USCSS Nostromo and USS Sulaco. While this doesn't usually extend to heroes in their non-Predator franchise crossovers (though Superman, Orion, and Judge Dredd had close calls), the creatures being this trope was the case in the WildC.A.T.s crossover — only not for the WildCATs themselves, as Warren Ellis, who wrote the story as well as Stormwatch, decided to use the story to kill off the Stormwatch characters who weren't going to be part of The Authority.

Ascetic Aesthetic: Deconstructed in several ways. The Nostromo in the first film, for instance, clearly had this look before the wear and tear set in. The colony in the second film, meanwhile, has a facade of this look over a greasy industrial substructure. The contrast between this trope, Used Future, and unsettling organic structures is a recurring theme throughout the franchise.

Everything Trying to Kill You: In the comics, a group of Marines is forced to go to the Aliens' homeworld to act as bait for facehuggers. One character sagely notes that, on other worlds, the Alien is a foreign creature which the locals are not used to dealing with. On its own planet it would have struck an ecological balance with other species, and it might not even be the dominant predator. The bait plan is completely misguided because unbeknownst even to themselves, all the Marines are androids.
