We all love them, no
matter where they are. If they are the ”UFO” or if they are in
Sci-fi. I reccons since its almost a millennia since i actually said
anything in my BLOG and since iv talked about the “manly”
vampires and the “hugable” Zombies I thought Aliens would just
nail the spot perfectly.. Since there is a lot of games and movies
that has these things in them..
Even
the movie Aliens.. has aliens in it.. I KNOW it took even me by
suprise. The whole movie is about them, and they just love humans,
and other things they can come across. Aliens (from the movie) was
actually an “experiment” that was going to create more or less
havoc. Its like the Zerg and Protoss from Starcraft. Where they are
both aliens. And they were found
by the Xel'Naga on the planet of Aiur
(which Xel'Naga had created long ago). The
Xel'Naga was actually a very ancient and cosmic race. Though
this race seemed to be a very Noble race and helpsome. They arent as
they seemed. While the protoss isnt as bad as they look. The Zerg on
the other hand goes from world to world and conquer everything in
their way. These Two races did exist long time ago.
But the Xel'Nagas
was due to an end. Wanted to combine the two races to be Reborn
anew.. They chose the protoss because of their mental connection.
They chose the protoss and pushed the evolution further then they
could possible reach alone. Therefore they were counted as Gods among
the Protoss.
They also found the
Zerg which is a race or pure instinct. So the Xel'Naga gifted the
Zerg with “purity of Essence” making them the counterparts of the
Protoss, which was giften with the “Purity of Form” they were
intended to merge and create the new Xel'Naga lifecycle. The Xel'Naga
created the “Ovemind” (A massive organic creature that controlled
all the zerg as one mind) To prevent a repeat of “Aeon of Strife”
(which was one of the biggest civilan wars in the universe which the
protoss had because of the “gods”)
Though it didnt go
as planned. As the Overmind created the “cerebrate” (a kind of
“egg” that wielded the Zerg Brood leaders) the Zerg pushed away
the Xel'Naga because it knew what would happen mostly because of the
“Dark Voice” Which was Xel'Naga but is an entity connected to the
void. The Overmind had seen this coming and created the “Queen of
Blades” to prevent the destruction of their race. And to create an
attempt to free the Zerg and Prevent the future.
StarCraft and
“Aliens” is about the same story/legend only differs in a few
areas. The movie has been one of the biggest influences in Sci-fi
history. Since most sci-fies that has “aliens” in them, has some
kind of connection that you can easily connect with the Aliens movie.
You can even look at StarGate SG1 where there is a race called the
“Gua'uld” which is a “parasite” much as in the aliens
Facehugger. Though they act diffirently. The “Facehugger” jumps
unto a host's face and lays eggs in that will go down to the stomach.
While the Gua'Uld is a “Larva” which goes in trough the neck and
is rapped around the spine and eventually takes controll over the
“host”.
Though there are a
race called the “jaffa” which is the bearer of the young gua'uld
(when the Larva is young it cant controll
the host, since it needs to get to a certain age before that happens)
the Gua'ulds are
actually preferd as GODS (much as the Xel'Naga) Mostly because they
didnt age.
Just look at
Half-life with the Headcrabs. They also have a sort of “connection”
Though instead of laying eggs in the hosts Stomach they take them
over and make them to brain dead zombies. And Half-Life is also a
very good game which had the best mods like Afraid of Monsters and
Cry of Fear
There are hundreds
of “examples” you can take, though no one is bad nor far fetch.
They all have a common “theme” which makes this thing more
intressting. Though dont get me wrong.. there was aliens before the
Aliens movie, though not in that participle way.
There are hundreds
of games and movies you can connect to the aliens, but it all can be
said in a few words and a few more.. The Aliens movie.. IT IS one of
the BEST Sci-Fi movies ever made. And was the best thing that
happened to the Sci-fi industry. ITS BADASS
