THE WEYLAND-YUTANI SUPREME COURT.

Well.


We know some things.


We know that when the six hard-right Christian fundamentalists of the Supreme Court watch Alien they're not rooting for the humans. They're cheering on the  xenomorph rapist, or its duplicitous android fanboy. Maybe they don't approve of the fact that the alien rapes anyone, regardless of gender identity. After all, these unelected judges have never been fans of equal opportunity, have they? But they like the parts they like.


Good to know.


If they're watching Aliens, they're not cheering for the Space Marines.They're rooting for the slimy corporate saboteur-corporations are the New People-who sees humans as incubators for a perfectly ruthless class of living weapons. Think of all the pro-gun legislation.Weapons are the New People.


The much maligned Alien 3 takes place on a prison planet. An entire planet wasted as an incarceration facility. Do you know how many elements, and rare earth resources, and other valuable products you could extract if you had a whole planet at your disposal? Nope. Just make that shit a prison. Fuck logic. Fuck science. Fuck justice. Big time Supreme Court appeal on this one, obvi.


Alien: Resurrection is about space mercenaries who kidnap humans so they can be forced into being incubators for alien abominations. Rape. Forced births. You know the conservative six must love this one. 


Prometheus has that scene where Noomi Rapace has a tentacular monstrosity gestating inside her body, and so she has to cut it out of herself using an advanced robotic surgery bed. Yeah, the six probably don't care for this one. The woman controls what happens to her body and survives.


Alien: Covenant is much more of a Supreme Court flick. Noomi Rapace ends up vivisected. And the soulless synthetic man-memorably played by Michael Fassbender-ends up forcing alien pregnancies upon the surviving humans. Yes, some human males are targeted-which probably didn't please the six, who are strictly interested in attacking women-but what can you do?


Yes. 


This is the reality we're living in: a precursor to the corporatized, pro-rape, anti-freedom, money-worshipping future you see in the Alien Franchise.


We're most of the way there already.
