The Woman in the Dark (Alien Lore)

[@Dirty_Nero_Main]

I would love the Woman In The Dark to be played by Noomi Rapace. The ultimate evolution of Xenomorphic life synthesising with the Pathogen's radical AI. A unification of David's love of Shaw with his twisted ambition to recreate the perfect organism.

[@MrUnboxerVideos]

That's an awesome idea, in the Prometheus story, the changes david makes to the neomorph would all stem from Shaws DNA as the source of the first xenomorph. So any human hybrid could conceivably have Shaws facial features as a base 🤔 😮😁

[@Dirty_Nero_Main]

@@MrUnboxerVideos while I like that, I don't personally believe that David created the Xenomorphs. He may have engineered his own caste of the creature, but I believe that the iteration in Covenant was an attempt to recreate the monsters. That said, a little bit of Shaw is in every one of his brood.

[@Salvalhaownz]

@@Dirty_Nero_Main I agree, David is not the character pretending to "invent fire", he seeks answers and uses the knowledge acquired to emancipate himself from his own condition by himself, more like a gigachad androïd if we may say... His given god complex by a blinded fanbase is in fact simple raw superior intellect and the lack of emotion an android has. But his seeming empathy towards Shaw is in fact more a dedication to the hasardous opportunity she allowed him to experience, nothing else. He used her and what he did to her, let's be honest, is a macabre humiliation, like puting a skull on a spike, but here expressed in a more complex twisted manner.

[@domonator5000]

Her facial structure is perfect for it

[@non-applicable3548]

Brilliant idea. I loved her and was bummed out they killed her off. My favorite swede

[@goldenyak629]

I'd prefer the Dark Woman entity to be something more symbolic - not that there's literally some humanoid lady out there, but this is more humans projecting their own impressions onto something else, something too horrible to contemplate. Like Nyarlathotep of the Cthulhu Mythos taking on a seemingly human form to disguise how unfathomable otherwordly he truly is, this hallucination is a mask the human mind puts on the true entity, the ultimate source of the black blood accelerant, the goddess of the Aliens.

[@kinagrill]

or not even really a goddess, but due to human mindset... the resulting symbolic showing of the end-result xenomorph is something so alien, vaguely feminine, cold and inhuman in all the ways that both causes instant revulsion, as well as an alluring attention-grab.

[@PrettyTigerlilly]

Honestly, it just seems like SIL from the movie Species to me. H.R Giger did design her.

[@DanFloresII]

​@@PrettyTigerlillyaspects of her appearance remind me of Giger's "Li" works, which he modeled after his dead girlfriend. The name even sounds the same.

[@xavierlucky397]

Thats super lame, nah.

[@Strix2031]

The woman in the dark is a what if humans fully fused with aliens. Its predicted as the future of "humanity" if Weyland-Yutani gets their alien specimen and creates a real hybrid (It means the end of humanity as its the literal perfect organism wich will wipe out everyone)

[@robertpetre9378]

Interesting that the character is called Li as the original painting by H.R.Giger that inspired the woman in the dark was also called Li 1

[@Pawguinius]

Yes Li Tobler

[@boianko]

Looking at that painting the random snake head on her forehead makes a lot more sense.

[@neurohack9038]

Well duh

[@Trepanation21]

Why is it interesting if it's absolutely obvious why that name is chosen? Lmao tf?

[@sebatronnn]

​@@Trepanation21It's interesting this KZbinr and 99.92% of so-called fans haven't the slightest idea who Li Tobler was

[@WyvernDukemon]

I dont HATE the concept of the Woman in the Dark. To me, she represents the Hive Mind, the Eldritch Construct of the consciousness of the Xenomorph Species in a form our fragile psyche can comprehend. Is it done well? No, not yet, but there are scraps of ideas that can be used.

[@permafrost7781]

Hate it, Borg imitation, plus does not fit at all. If they push that, will kill this fr.

[@nono9543]

For sure. The concept of a somewhat humanoid female embodying a hivemind while not original isn't exactly bad. That concept has been floating around for a while and given how Giger uses women as a subconscious fear attached to the Xenomorphs, it's honestly pretty fitting. But yeah, currently she doesn't really stand out too much compared to other hive humanoid beings like Kerrigan from Starcraft or Sil from Species.

[@magnusdareus]

I mean yeah but she has a snake head on top of her head. Any intriguing aspect is completely overshadowed by that goofy nonsense

[@DtLS]

Seems too much like a Species crossover to me.

[@RetroCube]

It's a Species/Borg combination which I don't really like. We've already seen humanoid hivemind females in media before and I think they can be a little more creative than that. I can appreciate the symbolism but there's room to do so much more.

[@NXPhoenix3]

I like the idea of the xenomorphs as The Great Filter in discussions of the Drake Equation. More specifically, as Iris described species encounter the xenomorphs, then try and harness the xenomorphs for their own benefit. Whether they can do that successfully without destroying themselves (arguably the Engineers as described in some Alien tie-ins or Dr. Blue Marsalis), realize that is beyond them and stop, or fail miserably at control and effectively annihilate themselves is The Great Filter. I think the Alien RPG potentially goes into this a bit with the Fullermen, but I have not read the Building Better Worlds supplement that expands the lore on them so I cannot comment further.

[@cor2250]

[@edwardjohnson6744]

I wish the Alien movies would dive a little deeper than they do into this side of things.

[@vavra222]

I feel like Ridley tried with Prometheus and to a lesser degree, with Covenant and it kinda bombed, sadly. I dont much care for Covenant but for some reason, i love Prometheus, mainly for the lore and the "mystery just out of sight" type feeling. Oh well, cant have it all and at least Alien youtubers have material to use.

[@matenzo]

Not knowing a lot about the alien made it feel more alien. Frankly I wish marvel would stop trying to come up with all these convoluted backstories.

[@DarkMikaruX]

Sooooo... we have all this lore on the Marines but no other movies exploring their conflict with the xenomorphs. Killing me.

[@Cabooseforprez2012]

I think Ridley Scott has had a grudge against aliens either for not having his involvement or for just being regarded so well. Everything he does seems to try and erase that movie.

[@DarkMikaruX]

@@Cabooseforprez2012 Bro I've been wondering about that for decades at this point. How the Fly F do we have nothing but "Alien" clones but not a single Action movie beyond Aliens. Honestly.. it's why I checked out of the franchise after 3 (3 was garbage and I don't care what anyone says). You might be onto something. Petty for sure if that's the case. Maybe fans need to unite and make our own. I don't know... but yet another Alien clone saddens me.

[@MollyHJohns]

@@DarkMikaruX afaik there's one? Alien VS Predator? But fans are the loudest to hate about it and claimed that it's not canon? So they simply stopped doing more crossovers like that.

[@DarkMikaruX]

@@MollyHJohns Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of the crossovers. I'm more talking about the Marines themselves. There were tons of conflicts and even experiments with the Xenos in the books / comics. And none of it has ever been done on the big screen. I'm tired of just the suspense aspect. ALIENS was still the best out of all of them. Hands down. I'm sure I can't be alone on this!

[@caibra88]

The new alien is fantastic. It would be nice to get more tastes of the mysterious xenomorph universe. I'd love for the films to start having an air of mystery that goes beyond the surface level. We all know we will see xenomorphs and face huggers so it'd be great to give us more. Show us the different Queens. Show us this Woman in the Dark. Dont be afraid to deep dive into the Alien universe to give us something new and awesome on the silver screen.

[@GarbearFitness]

I agree and i feel the predator movies need more thrilling mystery not just creature in the open blasting all the time. I love that but add a bit more fear

[@YodaOnABender]

Fantastic is a stretch. Apart from the production value it’s basically just a mashup of every alien movie that’s already come before

[@imStorm3r]

They tried to expand the universe and put a bigger focus on the lore in Prometheus and Covenant but for some reason people don't like them xd GOD FORBID a complex franchise dips into other genres to make the story more rich...

[@nanosmokex6998]

​@@imStorm3r Covenant was trash I was done with it when David created the Xenomorphs

[@Hypnobong]

@@imStorm3r they’re written poorly. Great ideas that suffer from bad writers. There’s a lot of cool stuff in those movies but nothing feels cohesive.

[@sebatronnn]

Wait a minute... 1. The "woman in the dark" is first encountered on a planet called Tobler-9 2. A character called Lee (... Or "Li". Bare with me.), who was drawn with weary, half shut eyelids "lost her last traces of humanity" continues to mutate and becomes the Woman in the Dark. Has anyone seen the artwork HR Giger created in the 70s from which the aesthetic of the movie franchise was inspired (or derived)? Li Tobler was the love of HR Giger's life. She was a Swiss actress. Giger created a series of artworks under the name "Li I" and "Li II" in 1974. She committed suicide in 1975. I thought the positioning of Noomi Rapace's head in Covenant was a deliberate tribute. This comic is similar. But I've got no idea who decided to rope more Giger art into a canon pseudo backstory for a character that doesn't exist in the movies. But who cares. I recommend everyone checks out Li I&II and check some of the real story involving Giger's influence and impact on not just the first Alien film, but the whole series.

[@ThugShakers4Christ]

This shit sucks and we need to go back to the Earth Wars style stuff

[@stretcher]

Reminds me of Sil from the movie Species

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

Same.

[@greensun1334]

Indeed, there are similarities!

[@cyryc]

it was designed by HR Giger as well

[@Trepanation21]

Not unintentional or coincidental, as the xenomorph and Sil are literally designed by the same person.

[@ramonantoniodejuanbennett6239]

Maybe a female like Sil is the PROGENITOR of the xenomorphs.

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

Oh, hey. It's Sil from Species.

[@SiegeTF]

[@cyryc]

[@permeus2nd]

15:39 so just because we see a human alien hybrid as this creature in the dark doesn't mean that's what it actuly looks like, it's just how we're seeing it as a human mind trying to interpret this thing. I don't know if you have played any of the Mass Effect games but there is a really interesting conversation I think it's in ME2, you go into a bar and there are 2 or 3 people at a table watching an Asari dance on their table it's the Turians bachelor party and they end up talking about the dancer and long story short the human turian and the selerian all see her differently with one of them saying that her knees bend backwards just like mine which is completely different to what us as the player are seeing. There is this question of just what do the Asari really look like (slightly ruined in ME3 as we see the banshee which looks kinds like how we see the Asari anyway) as there is clearly some kind of psychic manipulation either willingly or unwillingly to make them more attractive to all who see them. This is kinda what I think is happening with the hivemind, us humans don't have the understanding to deal with what it looks like so our mind is taking the info it can see from it and crafting a human alien amalgamation.

[@ptonpc]

I'd prefer The Woman in the Dark to be something that is not explained.

[@fulcrumusprime5782]

I’m assuming lees mutation will continue and the woman in the dark aka xenomorph goddess will posses and take full control of her and morph her body into her own as a way of manifesting herself into the mortal world

[@SkanRashke]

Plot twist, the woman in the dark is Dr. Church. He finally became one with the hive.

[@josephmassaro]

I find it somewhat derivative of the Borg Queen in Star Trek. I find the black goo is really a dead end. The more they try to explain xenomorphs, the less interesting they become for me.

[@kylel7158]

[@ButterflyBox89]

[@jamesquinn6662]

There hasn't been any mystery since Aliens made them space ants

[@alijah1539]

I totally disagree I feel like the goo is the best hope for the franchise to live on. I really hope in the future we get some really creative showcases. Maybe we get a show of weyland scientists testing the goo on different creatures. The Xeno is a great design but there can only be so many stories you can tell with just the main strain of genetics we've seen thus far. But this is all opinion speak lol I just want more Alien stuff to watch I don't really care along as they don't get political or too campy.

[@Exar_Kun]

Absolutely agree. The goo has to go. It’s muddling up everything story wise.

[@domonator5000]

16:22 I think this makes sense based upon what Weyland Yutani corp. has been obsessed with across the classic alien films, and what the men heard in their dreams in the blood lines comic, compared with the sci fi behind the icarus comic. All of this has happened before and will happen again. The W.I.T.D is a result of the inevitable experimentation pursued by intelligent space faring species after discovering the existence of Xenomorphs. And given that the Xenos have a matriarchal hierarchy, it makes sense that it is a female genetic experiment from the intelligent species that “flies to close to the sun” before plummeting to darkness, that takes the place of an organic Xenomorph queen within the Xeno hive mind. Maintaining both an individual intellect and will while connected to a collective consciousness allows the W.I.T.D. to become essentially a Xenomorph Empress

[@GarbearFitness]

She looks like she’s from “species” horror alien movies

It's always amusing to be reminded of the desire of certain people to project some kind of dark, cosmological significance onto what is ultimately a simple extraterrestrial animal (well, technically a needlessly overcomplicated animal but nonetheless simply an animal at the end of the day).

[@SunTzu176]

I dont like the idea of her being a real tangible thing. Rather it should be what the human mind is interpreting as either the "Empress" of the xenomorphs, the source queen, or rather just be the manifestation of the hivemind, its not really a humanoid alien, but rather what our poor human psych can do to represent it. Something so far beyond us, the series should have leaned more into the eldritch nature of the xenomorphs rather than the terrible direction its gone in now. I really dont care that Scott himself was behind Prometheus and Covenant, and that is the direction he envisioned for Alien as a series. The universe has moved past him now, and frankly I do not consider ANYTHING related to those films cannon. The whole black goo is such a terrible idea, the engineer was a mystery that should never have been explained. It was all so terrible, all so Scott could do some self masturbatory philosophy 101 slop. The real true cannon of the Alien series, in my opinion goes Alien, Aliens, and a smattering of the books and comics, like Earth War, and Stronghold, Labyrinth, Colonial Marines. Ill even throw in the games Isolation, and Dark Descent for great entrees into canon, but not Prometheus or Covenant, Romulus, 3, or Resurrection. Never those, not only are they all terrible films as an alien fan, but even if I wasnt, they are terrible films outside of being related to aliens.

[@drfunkypunk]

Such a silly concept. Just because xenomorphs have a 'hive mentality' doesnt mean you need to have a humanoid queen with feminine features. Feels like they're just copying the Borg.

[@NIGHTGUYRYAN]

[@greensun1334]

9:00 - flying insect xenomorphs and facehuggers - this have to be the most menacing and terrible ones imaginable, and probably also the most resistant ones. Just imagine them swarming out like aggressive hornets or bloodthirsty mosquitos, just to attack or impregnate you... They are to small to hit them with bullets and you could'nt squish them either bc of their acidic blood. They would be able to get everywhere with ease because of their size. Simply spoken, nothing would work against them, you would be doomed. Terrifying, indeed!

The one thing that doesnt make any sense is how the android knows all that about the lady in the dark, thats such convenient exposition but where does it all come from.

[@kcop1882]

At face value, it effectively means, as always, that Weyland Yutani knows so much more than they're letting on. The stories we get from the Alien franchise are pocket stories for the most part, with Weyland Yutani being the shadowy figure on a TV screen, so we as an audience are almost always kept in the dark in order to hold onto the mystery. There's a whole lot of ambiguity in the alien franchise that has to just be taken with a pinch of salt, because you're not told enough, but you are made aware that there is an inordinate amount of smoke and mirrors, so you just have to wait on installments to get more pieces to the puzzle.

[@Ando1428]

​@@kcop1882 I think yutani has a central ai system that understood the makers from the prometheus movie. Understood what it meant knew more then it let on. Tobler 9 is the first time the xenomorph actually cared to attack synthetics and those ones were smarter then the rest. Improved on through the icaris strain. Others are just basic versions. The synthetics are always the thing that turns on the humans and infects them. Repeatedly.

[@overweightgerbil6747]

What im wandering is if the xenomorph or this entity's perspective is what ai specifically david and walter's view is that to of humanity as a whole. Or if there is an underlying or enhanced dogma to that of David. A desire to perfect or create. If there is a consistent theme of the created wanting to usurp or be THE or a creator. The Xenomorph species being the pinnacle of that ideology in its most perverse way made manifest. If the Woman and black is so incomprehensibly warped and evil because she is the next deliberate phase in the creation of intelligent life or xenomorph variant not as we know it but however it is intended by the xenomorph. From space jocky to engineer to xenomorph and human to AI to whatever the woman in the dark is. Something unfathomabley more unhinged and inhuman in search of its origin story much how humans did through religion or space travel.

I like the stories like this one that came during the time before Prometheus when everything hadn’t been over explained and the xenomorph still felt like this ancient, eldritch thing that’s been out in the universe eons before man ever entered the scene. They were still very mysterious and that made them an even bigger threat because all we knew was, they reproduce, they kill, and that’s it but there was always a lingering feeling that there was still so much more to them. A history, their own culture, and possibly even a greater motive besides breeding Now we already know and it really makes them kinda flat and dull: engineers made a goo weapon, lost a batch of it during a catastrophe, robot takes jar and runs his own private eugenics project until he makes it. Not nearly as cool if you ask me
