Why do these shows always feel like they have to introduce aliens? Or at least why must they show them? The first 3 episodes were pure kino but I let out a loud sigh during ep 4
because that's in the comic!
Irrelevant. You can adapt it for TV

Name 5
It's a 1957 comic. It had aliens before the Last of Us and all the other stuff even existed. Would be completely idiotic to change the story to avoid looking like a copy of something that actually came after it.
Here are five shows or movies where supernatural or paranormal phenomena initially appear to be magical, spiritual, or otherwise inexplicable—but are ultimately revealed to be caused by aliens:
The X-Files (TV series)
Many episodes begin with seemingly supernatural or paranormal events—ghosts, demons, even religious miracles—but later reveal extraterrestrial or alien-adjacent explanations, especially in the mythology-heavy episodes.
The Fourth Kind (2009)
This film starts off like a psychological horror involving sleep paralysis and possible demonic possession, but it gradually shifts toward alien abduction as the root cause.
Communion (1989)
Based on Whitley Strieber's supposedly true experiences, the movie presents events that at first seem like hallucinations, mystical visions, or hauntings, but are ultimately attributed to alien contact.
Fire in the Sky (1993)
Though it presents itself more as a psychological or even spiritual mystery for much of the film, it culminates in a very alien-centered, abduction-based explanation.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
The movie includes ancient myths, psychic powers, and "interdimensional beings" that are initially framed as part of occult or ancient magic—only to be revealed as aliens with advanced technology.
NOOOOO, DON'T MAKE SHOWS INTERESTING!
it wouldn't be idiotic to make it good, no. The first episodes are very strong.
The whole point is that it's all some peronist political allegory.
Bugs = Argentina's military dictatorship
Subverted population = Subverted population
Mr. Hands Alien = The CIA directing things from the background (Operation Condor)
They couldn't ban it because it would make the military look unhinged and paranoid, so the author just slipped his message this way.
Don't agree with the author's politics but the story's still good tho.

>The X-Files
The other 4 are movies and not shows
Congratulations you are the retard of the day
he thinks there's a meaningful difference between shows and movies
At least I think instead of asking a machine to do it for me
The fucking x-files man...do you ever bother reading it before copy+paste it?
You can adapt it for TV
The message would be different, the whole point is that there are two sides: all the species in the universe: defeated, enslaved or still free, united in their conviction to fight till the last one. And "They", the cosmic hate. We all walk, hand in hand to our doom knowing that at least a few managed to escape "They", while the rest resisted to the last breath on the "killing zones"
not all the xfiles episodes are about aliens, and therefore not all of them have to be about aliens
(((THEM)))
what did Oesterheld mean by this?
The original point is about introducing aliens, something that x-files does during episode one albeit
don't worry, you are never shown the real alien enemies
We see a bit of the real aliens on the last episode.
why are zoomers incapable of not using AI? going to be hilarious when tech companies pull the rug and end all the free usage and charge a ton to use then
the author became a raging commie until after the comic was done. All that shit is cope he did JK Rowling style
Here are five shows

I'm watching episode 2. How the fuck did he manage to power a record player from a 12v car battery?
The comic went to really, really shit towards the end but granted it was made in the 50s, maybe tv-show is bettwr
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand El Eternauta. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Argentine culture most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Juan's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from peronist literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LA PATRIA. As a consequence people who dislike El Eternauta truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Lucas's catchphrase "Está Relampajeando" which itself is a cryptic reference to Borges' argentinian epic El Aleph I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Stagnaro's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have an El Eternauta tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the turras' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 33 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Poles don't just invert spontaneously, do they?
why not?
I must know why everything happens!! I need lore! I google [movie] explained!
The whole point is that it's all some peronist political allegory.
Don't buy the perontard narrative, the author wrote the eternaut when he was apolitical still, he was in fact slightly against peron when he first wrote it, he became communist peronists like 20 year after

I noticed at least 3 latinx posters itt seething at ppl who don't know "le epic lore" behind it like it mattered in a scifi TV series.
That being said, you will never be white.
the show was 100% aryan though. Every important good-hearted character is white with crystal blue eyes
Retard alert

Yes. I'm glad we understand eachother, Davonkius.
You can change some things, but you can't change key things.
Just because you were born in a world were aliens are a normal popculture thing doesn't mean this 50s comic or its TV adaptation should change and not include them.
But I agree the first 3 episodes are great because it's very realistic and suspensful, Stagnaro is a genius at atmosphere and making small groups of people work in a house environment (watch Okupas).
But the sci-fi part is done really well. I was worries about the special effects but I was pleased.
