The backdrop of Alien is harsh and bleak, other than the dangerous planets through the yet to be explored galaxy
Earth is in perhaps the most hostile. It's in a state of irrevocable suffering, constant wars, polluting the environment until it's uninhabitable. Its a planet that engages in atrocities in a never ending cycle of violence, this dystopia isn't science fiction but a very possible future.
It's a greedy Megalomania-tic unfettered capitalistic conglomerate dominated future, the powers that be "the elite" reap the benefits of interplanetary mining/harvesting, plundering resources and exploiting people who are under their pay. Despite the promise of building better worlds the companies reign Dominion basking in glory while humanity are no more than mere worker ants in a colony, or a hive if you will.
The company is cold, ruthless and will pursue domination by any means necessary, unclouded by conscience, remorse of delusions of morality, the destructive, predacious, invasive all consuming nature of the company are just as much monsters as the aliens, but you don't see them screwing each other over for a percentage, And let's say the company were to obtain Xenomorph biotech they'd be worth than before and spreading this disease throughout the galaxy tenfold.
Is this our future? maybe unless we take the initiative to chance the course of our fate, to defy corrupt forces, advocate laws that look after people's freedoms, that the properties of land are properly negotiated, compensated, traded/exchanged, to defend individualistic identities, understanding merits of tradition while not being stuck in the dark ages given by fear. That we pursuit the ambitions of life's goals but not at the expense of another's suffering. To adapt to challenges that lie ahead in an ever changing world.
Is a more ideal Utopia that prioritises peace, progress, unity, the overall betterment of humankind and the world a future thats obtainable? So far that seems like science fiction, but is it possible? Perhaps that what the TV show could evoke, on how the future is grim, but we have it in ourselves to shape our future for the better.
