Alien: Earth, the new serial installment of the most terrifying franchise

The company created by Walt Disney, through its international streaming service Disney+, has seen fit to release, or is currently releasing, a prequel to the film Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, this time in the form of a television series.

Judging by what's being said online, that is, the various comments from internet users, we could be facing an opportunity for Disney to redeem itself and take action again, as some of the reviews are quite positive.

The series' cast is indeed very young, "millennial," we might say, and we're confident that the offering will resonate with that current demographic.

Disney has long followed a similar method, trying to "Disneyfy" franchises; they've already done so with Star Wars and others. In the short term, the idea isn't bad; it's simply a matter of seeing some fresh money pour into the company's coffers (which, by the way, will have spent a fortune buying the television rights to the franchise and producing the series). But in the long term, we don't know if the move is paying off: the stock value of the company in question has been stagnant for some time now at approximately half of its all-time high, and considering rampant inflation, among other considerations, many people think the company's stock price may have reached a "zombie" state, neither rising nor falling.

Anyway, putting these long-term thoughts out of our minds, we need to give this new manifestation of the Alien franchise a chance.
