It's easy to imagine oneself battling a virus outbreak or a deadly natural disaster as both have roots grounded in familiarity. What about an alien invasion? It isn't too far-fetched of an idea. Many can easily accept that there is life that exists beyond Earth. With that being said, creators of alien-related projects have an endless amount of creative liberty when it comes to storytelling due to the diverse way aliens are represented in entertainment. There's Kang and Kodos, the campy aliens from The Simpsons, or the mysterious Demogorgons, the monsters who exist to haunt the singular town of Hawkins, Indiana, or even the titular alien from Lilo & Stich, a sweet dog-like friend on the search for compassion and family. Apple TV's original series Invasion takes a different twist on extraterrestrials, bringing forth deadly, mechanical creatures and showing their impact on the global sphere.
