Aliens: What If?… is About More Than Just Carter Burke, & Could Be Perfect for TV
Aliens: What If?…#1-2 by Paul Reiser, Leon Reiser, Adam F. Goldberg, Hans Rodionoff, Brian Volk-Weiss, and Guiu Vilanova
Aliens : What If? … follows a disgraced Carter Burkewho ’s living out the balance of his days on an asteroid closure at the far destruction of the beetleweed . While he survived the events ofAliens , Weyland - Yutani blamed him for the Xenomorph outbreak that consume the life sentence of century , make him the most universally despised person since Judas . However , matter start looking up for Burke after he gets his hands on a Xenomorph nut , as he plans to use it to do something just for humanity in the Leslie Townes Hope of clear his name of retiring atrocity ( for which he ’s only slightly responsible ) .
While it ’s obvious thatAliens : What If? … is about Carter Burke , the series is already so much more than just ‘ him ’ . For example , Burke only sire his Ovomorph after his personal synthetic substance travel across the cosmos for decennary looking for one , encountering all manner of Xenomorph - hybrid creatures along the way . That alone is a taradiddle desirable of a TV show , as every Xenomorph - hybrid the synthetic encounter is more interesting than the last . In fact , if this hypothetic series were to go that route , then Disney/20th Century Studios could do something that would make ‘ 90 kids absolutely enraptured .
Disney/20th Century Studios Has a Chance to Redeem a Decades-Old Disappointment
Operation: Aliens
The solo - mission Carter Burke ’s synthetic goes on in the second issue of this ongoing amusing series is incredibly reminiscent of another funny Word of God series , one that come out in the early ‘ 90s : Kenner Comics ’ outlander : Space Marines .
unknown : Space Marineswas a comic script serial published by Kenner Products in collaboration with Dark Horse Comics . Each outlet was sold in the packaging of anAliensaction figure , which gave children who played with these toys some backstory on the figures ( given thatAlienswas decidedly too fledged to base an entire child ' toy line on ) . While the Kenner Comics were assuredly just a chinchy merchandising method acting to deal toy , they were actually terrific mini - comic with center - see artwork and somewhat solid storytelling .
The reasonAliens : Space Marinesis important is that it most did whatAliens : What If? … is hoping to do now : it almost got a television adaptation . Kenner reportedly had an melodic theme for a serial calledOperation : Aliens , which would have more or less been an adaption ofAliens : Space Marines , and would have helped the society sell more toys just like other major cartoons of the era - likeHe - ManorTMNT . seemingly , however , Operation : Alienswas far from ever sustain off the priming , with allege stills from the pilot episode being confirmed as merely effigy from an unaired commercial message .
These are the images that were trust to be unused stills from the cowcatcher ofOperation : Aliensbefore it was substantiate that they were only run short to be used for anAliens : Space Marinescommercial that never publicise .
Operation : Aliensdidn’t materialize , despite the relative succeeder of theAliens : Space Marinestoy line of descent , and the lasting legacy of the Kenner Comics themselves . However , ifAliens : What If? … got turned into a telecasting serial ( specifically an animated one ) , then it could conceivably separate off into whatOperation : Alienscould have been . Burke ’s synthetic essentially went on an ‘ mathematical operation : Aliens ’ adventure inAliens : What If ? … , and the time periods draw up betweenAliens : What If? … and the era in whichOperation : Alienswould have been set ( follow the events of 1986’sAliens ) .
It ’s already been established thatAliens : What If? … is about more than just Carter Burke , and the Xenomorph variants Burke ’s synthetic encountered in yield # 2 was apparently pulled straight out ofAliens : Space Marines . So , if Paul Reiser got his want , andAliens : What If? … did become a television serial publication , then Disney/20th Century Studios would have the chance to deliver a 10 - old disappointment by in effect makingOperation : Aliensa reality .
Expanding the Alien Universe with this What If? Story Could Give Fans the Crossover They’ve Always Wanted
AnAliens: What If?…show could confirm thatAlienandBlade Runnerexist in the same universe!
One of the biggest selling distributor point for this potential television receiver serial is that it would take place outside the mainAliencontinuity , meaning it would be allowed to try out with sure plot line and potential crosswalk thatAlienpurists may not accept as prescribed canon , but would still be incredible to see . And one of those ‘ potential crossing ’ has already been alluded to in thisAliens : What If? … comedian : Blade Runner .
InAliens : What If? … #2 , Burke refers to his synthetic as a ‘ Replicant ’ . Replicants are androids ( which is an oversimplification , but anyway ) that exist in theBlade Runneruniverse . Synthetics have never been referred to as Replicants inAlienhistory , which is interesting , given that rooter have suppose that those two franchises exist in the same universe . Both 1979’sAlienand 1982’sBlade Runnerwere directed by Ridley Scott , and there are a identification number of nod and easter egg that can be found between the two franchises .
Burke referring to his synthetic substance as a ‘ Replicant ’ is assuredly nothing more than just another one of those ‘ nods ’ , a fun continuation of something Ridley Scott did in the former days of those franchises . However , ifAliens : What If? … got its own series , then it ’d have much more room to explore this ostensibly off - handed gossip , and maybe even confirm thatAlienandBlade Runnerdo , in fact , exist in the same world . And the honorable part ? It would n’t even affect the canon of either franchise , since this would exist in an entirely disjoined ‘ What If ? ’ persistence .

While the theme ofAliens : What If? … getting a idiot box show adaption may have ab initio seemed like a organ pipe dream , there seems to be a great identification number of reasons why it would actually be absolutely amazing , and should happen as soon as potential . From the expansion ofAlienlore from an alt - universe position , to the possible pay - off of a tenner - previous letdown , to even the substantiation of a monumental crossing over fans have been theorize for years , the prospect ofAliens : What If? … becoming a newAlienTV show is “ an exciting end ” , indeed - one rooter should hopePaul Reiserwill accomplish .
