Created by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, the Woman in the Dark was introduced in “Alien: Bloodlines” - the first of Marvel’s Alien series - and had a much more significant presence in “Alien: Icarus”, the third Marvel series and Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s final.
The Woman in the Dark is first mentioned by ex-Weyland-Yutani corporate security member Gabriel Cruz at the very beginning of "Alien: Bloodlines", who describes a recurring nightmare he has in which he dreams of pure darkness, a dark "a truer shade than just the absence of light." In the dark he dreams of the Aliens, and of her, the Woman in the Dark.

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.

Cool video. Thanks! Now, let me have my fun, please. What’s the future of Yorkshire in this timeline? 😂 Glad I found this channel. If one thing was missing from the AvP universe, it was a Yorkshire narrator. I am not taking the mick! I’m glad someone who speaks something other than RP narrating sci-fi.

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.

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

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.

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

I'm cool with the idea, but the design of the Woman in the Dark is terrible. She has a literal snake head as a crown. I also liked it much more before there was even a concrete possibility of her actually existing. A shared fever dream brought on by hosting a xenomorph, is thought provoking. Seeing her, or something that is strongly implied to be her, kind of ruins the mystery.

The woman in the dark is a Sil rip off from the Species movie.

She does look an awful lot like Sil.

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.

I love that someone made a video about something this obscure and this thinly conceptualized. I'm reminded of the original Transformers™ series and how, despite it's vapidity, every generation since has tried to create a lore that feels as substantial as it's protagonist are cool to look at, and I feel the same could be said of the ALIEN™ canon, especially outside of the first two films. The graphic novels are great, but they're all over the place. In truth, ALIEN™ has never enjoyed the same top-down creative cohesion as the MCU or STAR WARS™, and that lack of guiding oversight makes for a mess of a mythos, which leaves enchanted readers struggling to make connections that the writers should have, but never did.

Fun video. I sub'd. The subject was cool, but I will always prefer lore that keeps humans away from any importance or connection with the alien history, biology, creation or hierarchy. A Lovecraftian backdrop should always cover this creature. It should remain older than we can imagine, with origins we cant guess at, an unknowable reason for existence and humans should represent nothing more than biological materials.

@edwardjohnson6744 3 ай бұрын

I agree with the origin mystery. But I'm ok with humans messing around and trying to understand/control/weaponize

I always liked this, she is what will/could happen if man keep trying to mix the Alien with Human. But I also like how the Prometheus mentioned in this comic isn't talking about the recent movies but something older then man.
