Aliens Definition and 83 Threads

Alien is a science-fiction horror/action media franchise centered on the film series which depicts warrant officer Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and her battles with an extraterrestrial lifeform, commonly referred to as "the Alien" or Xenomorph.
Produced and distributed by 20th Century Studios, the series began with Alien (1979), directed by Ridley Scott, and was followed by three sequels: Aliens (1986), directed by James Cameron; Alien 3 (1992), directed by David Fincher, and Alien Resurrection (1997), directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Scott also directed a prequel series, composed of Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017), which follows the exploits of the David 8 android and the creators of the eponymous creatures referred to as the "Engineers".
The series has led to numerous novels, comics, video games and television series. It has inspired a number of spin-offs - most notably the Alien vs. Predator franchise, which combines the continuities of the Alien franchise with the Predator franchise and consists of two films as well as various series of comics, books, and video games.

    Is Intelligent Life Out There in the Universe?

    I've asked this question to a lot of people and a good majority of them said no, aliens do not exist. I just don't understand their logic in thinking that.

    Could Aliens Save Us from Our Own Destruction?

    If the aliens are studying us, and if we were to push the button to blow up the world 10 times over, would they intervene and stop us? Maybe intelligent life in the universe is very rare so they would. Or if they messed with our DNA, they would abandon the project.

    Why would aliens plant humans on Earth?

    What if humans were artificial life forms (heh, and aliens for sure)?
