Now Viewing: alien_(movie)Tag type: None Tag refers to any image referencing the Alien movie series. Aliens in general are tagged as alien. Iconic and influential sci fi horror series (particularly the first two movies). It is famous for its eponymous aliens designed by H.R. Giger which include the xenomorphs and facehuggers who have become iconic villians. Series protagonist Ellen Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver, is often considered to be the first successful Hollywood action heroine (moreso in the more action-oriented sequel Aliens) and has also become an iconic character. The first film also helped popularize grittier depictions of the future: settings that boast technology far beyond what's currently possible, but at the same time, looks grimy and worn-down. The second film Aliens, written and directed by James Cameron as opposed to the original's Ridley Scott, is also a large influence on how space marines are portrayed in fiction, and the film itself was inspired by the original Starship Troopers novel to the point that some say it is the best adaptation of Starship Troopers. Each installment of the franchise was handled by a different director until the prequel Prometheus, which saw original director Scott return. He would do the same for Alien Covenant. The series has also influenced Japanese fiction: Capcom has produced a 2D arcade beat em up adaptation of Alien vs Predator. The Contra video game series has featured aliens that resemble those in the film series. Metroid's style and tone is also heavily influenced by the Alien series. The original movie is also a major influence on the 1987 anime OVA Lily C.A.T.
