The Stranger Things series makes many homages to different movies. But… Does it share the Universe with the Alien saga?
The first part of the fourth season of stranger things can now be enjoyed in Netflix and very soon we will be able to see the two remaining episodes that will be as long as feature films. As usual, there are many references to movies and series, especially from the 80s, but there is a special mention to Alienwhich may have gone unnoticed by some viewers, but here we are going to explain.
Attention SPOILERS. In these new chapters, we have been able to see how Eleven / Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) she returns to the place where she was trained to regain her powers. But Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) and Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) they want to find her and the only clue they have are some coordinates. That’s why they ask for help Suzie BinghamGabriella Pizzolo that manages to decrypt some files and at that moment we can see a reference to Alien. Since we can read as Weyland-Yutani Corporation she is involved in the experiments they did on the children.
What is Weyland-Yutani Corporation?
In the Alien series, Weyland-Yutani Corporation is a large British-Japanese conglomerate that is responsible for providing the technology to manufacture synthetic materials, starships and computers for a wide range of industrial and commercial customers. It was founded in 2099, although throughout the movies and video games of the saga, there have been previous references. The ship Nostromo of the first delivery belongs to this company, although it is never mentioned, you can see the name on the monitors.
Now stranger things will show us more episodes that can be seen from July 2 on Netflix and there may be more references to the saga Alien. So we will have to be attentive to everything they mention. Although it is clear that they have bet more on parallel worlds than on aliens.
