<blockquote>"Does something like this happen in ALIEN???" </blockquote>
The mission of the Nostromo was to bring back the Alien, Ash is their android on board. Weyland-Yutani searches for the makers of human life, until their creation takes over. It's the arc in Prometheus and Alien Covenant, culminating in David (poetic, but not Roy Batty) - killing the engineers. Face-huggers and other iterations (like we see in Alien, Aliens, ... ) were more or less bred in the process by (the first) David.
<blockquote>"But one also doesn't recall any RELIGIOUS THEMES taking place in ALIEN???"</blockquote>
The very beginning of Prometheus is a creation myth. David's motivation directly depends on knowing his god (Peter Weyland) in person.
If you want to watch the Alien movies in order, here's the timeline:

... and no kids around. Don't wanna be a bad example.
The Alien franchise took a sharp turn towards pretentious metaphysics in Prometheus and there's not much difference between Weyland-Yutani and Tyrell. AC was a step back again towards known tropes. It's still about the relation between creation and creator.
So far for the parts comparable to BR2049. They differ wildly in their roots. BR is a brainy SciFi book, Alien is a dark space shocker.
No idea how TDF should fit in here, it's as deep as any Transformers installment.
A title he shares with Berlusconi, but he's the bigger surprise.
Run Lola Run
Rush (2013) - Niki Lauda and James Hunt are historical figures
Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
Caligula (1979)
There's not really an exclusion. It depends on the type of zoo if they need to lock in animals. Greylag goose for example can come and go as they please, but mostly come back anyway to their respective research stations and zoos.
Don't wanna lecture you in biology, but in evolutionary terms, sexual reproduction is the guarantee for genetic diversity. Of course you're mutating any time when a cell gets renewed (a few years on average, but still). The main evolutionary motor for a population still lies in the mutations happening at initial recombination. This is where the ground work for faster, slower, more or fewer deviations is laid. In usual biology, we're all mutants and we already have the tools to provoke significant permanent mutations during lifetime.
For the comic book part:
As far as I know about Wanda and Pietro, they're children of Magneto. If Magneto would have spliced or cloned himself instead of having sex, they would form metals and look like him.
The X-Men definitions, like "children of the atom", would only apply if <spoiler>Pietro really was the other Quicksilver</spoiler>.
But why isn't Spider-Man a mutant? Poisoning doesn't let you climb walls or shoot webs, he partially became a (radiated) spider after the bite. In a 60ies horror movie, they'd have called him a mutant.
I don't know the comic book definition of a mutant. What's this and why do they need a different definition?
this is how sexual reproduction works. we'd all look the same if not.
If really you want to, come to Vienna on October 2nd in the evening and lift a bar of gold at the Austrian National Bank.
They usually participate at the "long night of museums" and this is one of the tour highlights. You'd have to stick your arms into a transparent box, it's not like they'd let you juggle with it.
I've been there about a decade ago, went on to the Schnapsmuseum.
It's not about the taste, cocaine is a local anesthetic similar to lidocaine. The tongue feels numb after contact.
Is it a safe practice? No.
as far as I remember, it makes Wombosi think of having good cards before he had to find out that he was playing the wrong game.
Papillon
I Heart Huckabees
Wag the Dog
Hook
Marathon Man
Some of them take place on earth and in space. It's more or less the (people on all filmed locations at the the time) / (affected people) ratio.
You have a pretty good chance of survival if you happen to be somewhere else, like not on the Titanic but on the docks, airport vs. plane, ...
Avoid the Golden Gate Bridge and the Chrysler Building if you want to make it to the end of a 90ies blockbuster.
Bela Lugosi. Because I'm afraid he'd still show up.
In a boarding school, being a loner is not an option.
This movie lost me at the Karaoke bar. I should have turned it off earlier.
It's weird, but layered. For every metaphor you get, the ride turns a bit darker.
