    Unless you take the “i” in Alien to be the imaginary number, then it’s -Alien

      Or I suppose take the e in Alien to be that mathematical constant.

      Is the first film, in part, an expression of the multiplication of the imaginary number by the mathematical constant? And if case, does n have to do with factorials?

      I’m amazed I know this many mathematical terms considering how terrible at math I am.
