Man, it sounds like you have a Ph.D on xenomorph biology
I came in with a Bachelor in Alien, I came out with a PH.D in Aliens
Stetson Spencer 😆
lol!
You can have one, too! Just buy a copy of the “Weyland Yutani Report”. It’s on Amazon.
Stetson Spencer yeah it’s directly from a collector book
"Weyland-Yutani is synonymous with innovation, progress..."
And an employee body count surpassed only by Umbrella Corporation. 😀
WY owns umbrella now .. the buy out was last week
And Nestle and McDonald’s (:
Walmart ends up buying Weyland Yutani Corp. I’m not making this up, check Xenopedia.
Bill Gates
It's the only way to be sure.
the xenomorph for me is still the scariest species ever put on film.
And games!
They were one of the few aliens on
film that didn’t look humanoid.
No “little green men” - that what was so shocking at the time Alien first came out.
Utterly awful.
Nah that award goes to humans.
Absolutely agree. Nothing has even come close to it after all these years.
In the absence of a queen a drone can evolve into a full queen. The queen then emits a suppressive pheromone halting the evolution of the other drones. They in turn assume the role of partially evolved praetorians.
I love this. Especially the green hue for the footage. It makes the creature mysterious and ominous. Its what I loved about my ALIEN DVD collection. The green menu's.
Its also for using film scenes without getting strike from TH-cam i think
This level of technical detail/presentation reminds me of a Tom Clancy Novel. This is truly SciFi Horror Entertainment for adults. I saw the original movie while in high school and have been fascinated every since. Your contribution to the genre has been significant! Bravo. Keep it coming! It’s very much relished
17 days, we are not going to last 17 hours.
Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade but we're not gonna last 17 hours!
Bug Hunt.
Oh that's beautiful
Game over man
you can count me out!
It's game over man..GAME OVER!!!
Tommo902 what are supposed to do now...
"Cmon man it's a dry heat"
how about we build a fire, sing a couple of songs huh, how about we try that?
Nick Mattio hudson. Knock that shit off.
All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I love the Corps!
This video is scary as hell.
Well done.
This was so well done
When I was younger I never understood why Gorman wanted Sarge to take the mags from his grunts but I now understand the place could've gone up in flames with one wrong stray. It also helps drive home the despair when the survivors gather after the first skirmish and realize how screwed they are.
An absolutely incredible documentary on the xenomorph life cycle. The content is succinct, intelligent and engaging.
I commend you on the quality of this video and the amount of effort and research that has been sighted from the films.
The books have more information on these Nasty fictional creatures. Thankfully just that fictional. 1st of all they have stingers on the tip of the tail to subdue. Its described fully in book. 2nd their favorite food human brains... then soft organs perhaps also bone but don't remember about the bone.... beastly !
You should seriously consider doing commentary for the Alien movies. I would definitely enjoy hearing your thoughts frame by frame!!
Not even gonna lie, this is the absolute best Xenomorph video I have ever seen and I know my shit about xenomorphs!!!! Great work man!!!!
I'm not gonna lie either. This was most informative!
its slightly incorrect as it merges the lifecycle of the Alien/Isolation xeno with the regular hiver xeno but that's not too big of a deal so you're still fairly qualified
basically:
alien/isolation xeno has eggmorphing and no queen
others have queen but no eggmorphing
Did you notice he forgot about the stinger on the tip of the tails. He speaks well but if he read books he'd be 100 %. Next on whether they eat ? Yes according to books they're 1st choice is the brain. Didn't you notice in the movies they go for skull ?
@I lost my faith in humanity and i hate you 2.5 Since I posted that comment my thoughts on this have changed. They're just 2 different interpretations of the same thing (the Alien/Alien Isolation ones are portrayed as being much harder to kill to fit with the horror themes, whereas the others are easier to kill to make them work better in action films) and they said there was a queen to make it fit better with the established canon. They definitely did eggmorph as well though, since they built a second nest after you break the original one
@I lost my faith in humanity and i hate you 2.5 I didn't know there were different types of xenomorph, I assumed there were only eggs, facehuggers, standard xenomorphs and queens (though of course standard xenomorphs and queens can vary based on what their host was)
Where has it been stated in the Alien canon that there is a difference between warriors and drones?
"What do you mean they cut the power? How could they cut the power, man? They're animals!"
Stop your grinnin and drop your linen
We got nukes, we got knives, we got sharp fuckin sticks
Stay frosty...
That "fuck yeah" feeling when Alien Theory posts a new video.
One of the best videos on TH-cam I've ever seen.
the scene when you see the facehugger through the semi-transparent egg was just phenomenal, the entire movie is phenomenal...one of the best and most realistic sci-fi space horror movies
Man, this video really creeps me out. I remember that after i saw the first two films in consecutive days, i couldn't walk through any dark room or corridor without fearing a facehugger would jump to my face... You made a wonderful job!
I wonder if the 80's Blob could digest a Xenomorph? Could the Thing replicate a Xenomorph, it does have seemingly inorganic compounds in its biology? Could the Borg assimilate a Xenomorph? :0
Borg vs Aliens would be a good comic
@@makkaschatsanddits7899 I think the borg would lose
Yes, no, yes.
Good question 🤠👍
I'm wondering the same for The Thing. Would it be able to assimilate a Xenomorph, and would the same happen in a xenomorph hive as what happened at the U.S. Outpost 31?
Alien Theory, I absolutely love it I've been a huge fan since the first movie this alien species has haunted me since childhood, and I've been infatuated with it ever since keep up the good work!
they mostly come at night! mostly!!

I don't think the dog Xenomorph's intelligence was less than the others. It took out the warden right after Ripley alerted them all to its presence, and it killed the right prisoner to start the fire which killed several inmates.
very good information and visuals. I am quite a fan of this youtube channel!
Dr bright approves
This video was incredibly well made and very informative. Everything just works. The visuals, your commentary played off as a legit WY report, and the ambient music. On a side note, I would like to know what the name of the background music is. Would be awesome to listen to this while reading some of the Alien novels to add atmosphere. You did great man, keep it up.
Incredibly well done! If there was a Nobel Prize for
Alien life forms study you are definitely at the top of the list!

Thank you for making an overview of this important and educational information. Please do not hesitate in producing more intel reports such as this.
Your work in this field has not gone unnoticed.
Chances are you'll not notice this one comment in the hundreds you most likely get but just have to take the time to say I think the work you do is awesome and I get so much out of your videos. First of all I've always been a huge Alien Fan second your style of delivery is real pleasing to the ear and mind. Thank you.
Carter Burke: "the artificial person malfunctioned...a few deaths were involved"
If the facehugger’s acid is meant to burn through a small barrier to the host, say glass. How did the acid not burn off the host’s face within a second after melting through a helmet?
Because.... movie!
@@theradgegadgie6352 Barely an inconvenience.
Could habe a short acting acid that disintegrates when it hits air
exactly, plot hole.. because in aliens, the novel, the frustrated facehugger can't get thru to newt's cryo chamber on the sulaco and ends up chipping a piece of glass off the side, which impales itself, killing it and thus causing the fire and why the sulaco crashes, setting the stage for Alien 3.
@@Skelstoolbox not really a plot hole if you know basic chemistry, but O.K.
Bro these are so well done. Can tell you are passionate about the franchise and put a lot of effort into these!
What annoyed me about the Ripley, Newt reunion in the earth wars is that Ripley would have been so much more happy to see Newt again. She loved Newt, she charged the alien hive and faced off with the queen to rescue her, with the installation about to go nuclear. They treat like they sat next to each other on a train home from work one day.
Maybe we can build a fire, sing a couple of songs, huh? Why don't we try that?
"harsh language !"
I think it makes more sense that the Xenomorph in Alien is a different but closely related species to the hiver species. All the hivers ever encountered came from that one facehugger that infected the colonist while all xenomorphs from other eggs have been like the original alien.
This would explain why the original alien was so much more dangerous and intelligent compared to the other aliens which favoured quantity over quality of it's individuals. This would also allow for eggmorphing to still be canon
I need only two words to discribe this video and the work put into it:
outstandingly beautiful
Dude, this is pretty high quality! Keep it up man!
Great work on the visuals.
I like to learn more about The Yutani Corporation and it's merger with Weyland.
Terry Turner We may one day
I think i rember hearing wayland went bankrupt following the Prometheus fiasco and was bought out and merged with the yutani coperation.
Weyland yutani meets Skynet
Who would win?
@@Angel-gz8ju Skynet would win
@@TerryTurner how?
You have the most in-depth channel pertaining to the alien franchise not only on TH-cam but on the entire Internet.......BRAVO 👏 BRAVO 👏 BRAVO 👏
I love the production quality of these videos.
Man i love this, nice easy listening. Cheers.
The thing I’ve always wondered is where do xenomorphs get all that fluid from? They almost seem like an aquatic species because they are always so dripping wet.
There was a deleted scene where the crew says something stole the food supplies. I assume it takes bot organic matter and minerals and uses moisture, water to create the slime and the acidic blood.
I've been waiting for a video like this for a long time! Thank you. :D
keep up the amazing work team. I have been binge watching one after the other ever since i discovered this channel.
Very informative and well made. Definitely kept me intrigued throughout the video.
The A to Z of Alien in the making.
"Did IQs just DROP while I was away..?!?"
So basically Xenomorphs are more pleasant than my mother-in-law
That's how they stopped suicide bombings. They simply made it clear that sure you get 72 virgins......but also 72 mothers in law.
@@jacobjorgenson9285 7.2 is more than enough to do the job
Actually, this is a Fantastic posting !
Truly Loving Your Work Sir.
Absolutely love this video must have watched at least a dozen times. Thanks brother for all the hard work.
This video is beyond amazing, congratulations Alien Theory your channel just keeps getting better!!!
Something that’s always confused me-do the xenomorphs eat their victims or do they kill them for the Evulz?
Both. Ash says, "It's adapted remarkably well considering its nutritional requirements."
You just got yourself a new subscriber! I find your takes on the 'Alien' universe fascinating and exceptionally well presented!
These are really cool videos! Glad I found this channel!
Alien Theory, Fox needs to hire you to do narration for all things Alien (and maybe some Predator stuff, too). Great video.
ok as a life long fan of the alien films, i have to say good job with this video. keep it up as im sure there are more you could do. for instance the colonial marines and there weapons, a general overview of the marines space ship, the mining ship ripley is in, so much more and i look forward to whats to come next
Wow! This is more info than all of the entire movie log! Great insight!
Great vid work man ! A perfect scientific explanation of the Xenomorph species. Keep up the good vids !
This species has a specific dollar value, and I don’t think you or I have the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.
"They can bill me"
Response to a different statement, but appropriate nonetheless. I lol every time
Watch us
Burke was talking about the Atmosphere Processor "This instilation has a substantial dollar value attached to it". But I guess u weren't really quoting - nerd mode off
Dont know if you've been keeping up current events, but we just got are asses kicked pal!!!
I hope they make a movie explaining more about the telepatic capabilities of the aliens, 'cause make no mistake, they have them. Say whatever you want about Resurrection, but that was a perfect example. Remember Ripley saying: "I hear them, they're so close. It's the queen, she's in pain." How would she know that without telepathy?
VBSuper maybe they make a really high/low pitch sound that only xenomorphs hear
Sort of like an alien dog whistle, maybe? I would really like they would explore those options further on an upcoming movie.
Maybe the aliens have similar tech as we do but it's "biological". So it's like how the humans are talking on radios. The queen is prolly wondering how we can be "telepathic" if she can't hear us.
Pheromones
They have a hivemind
What a great edited video! Nice work!
I, though mighty, despair looking at your works
Haha very good and so true!
"Ripely you just blew the transaxle ur just grinding metal..ease down..EASE DOWN..ease down..."
I don't think I would ever dream up a phrase such as "aggressively hatching". Love it. And it's fitting.
now, this is why i come to this channel. great stuff.
Very professionally done. It's like watching the Special features, deleated bits.
7metres, thats in the room!!! how can that be??

To whom this may concern at the Weyland-Yutani Employee Services. My name is Thomas Draper, and I am a flight science officer. Having learned the fate "Nostromo" from employee information, I have a question and a request. I am a bio-mechanical engineer, currently assigned as science officer (Flight reg.: ID 514/S3-99N).
to the commercial science vessel USCSS "SHAW".
At company HQ in Mars City I have received company training in crew management and team psychology. I am curious about the specific crew members of the "Nostromo". What was the background of each crew member?
I believe that this info would be useful when making future emergency protocols for flight crews, and in setting up crew profiles. My request (actually more of a suggestion) is development of a specific defense strategy if a deep space vessel like the "Shaw" should encounter a similar attack from unknown species.
As science officer, I believe that IF the "Nostromo" crew had been trained and they had a defensive strategy, they might have defeated or even contained the XX121. Thus saving themselves, precious cargo and not missed the chance to bring back the alien life form for scientific study.
Regards, T. Draper, science officer of USCSS "SHAW".
I can watch this stuff forever, it never gets old
Wow! Blown away. Loved it!
these file videos are my favorites
It's really somethin btw no matter how many times I watch Aliens I always catch something new, complex textures angles perspectives dialogue diatlbe just brilliant film making
One of the coolest videos I've ever watch. Thznks!
Hi Derek! Love listening to you speak. Your work is phenomenal, sir!
Would you be willing to do a video on other castes of the Alien Series? From video games to books/comics?
I wonder why are the Xenos always wet and drooling, how do they have that much moisture?
Maybe they reverse process of how we dehydrate, losing liquid water as vapor, instead gaining liquids from the gas around them. It would be a neat way to gain water just from the air around you instead of needing to drink it.
Excellent take, The Sapien . It's a very good theory with the reverse process.
In the first movie they used a shitload of KY jelly to make all of that slime dripping off of the xeno.
Accel Pavlov effect.
Xenomorphs have to have a way to breakdown all substance to basic components and rebuild them. 1) Because the energy requirement to grow from a cell to chestburster should make the host dead or at least 80lb less sickly. 2) If they require silcon for cells, it would depleat the host 3)The amount of Kcals to go from a chestburster to a full size creature makes no sense, to grow that fast take 10x6 cals at least 4)Fluid lost and energy lost is massive for a creature drooling and burning energy constantly 5) You could argue that alien as a energy storage cells 1000x greater that human fat at 9kcal though it would have to come from the queen and eggs however the Queen would need to feed constantly and by feed I am mean eating 24x7 and still it would not be enough.
So it would have to either use the acid blood, however enzymatic would make more sense. So it must be able to breakdown material and rebuild them. However it takes energy to do that nothing is for free. Basically it would have to be a fusion reactor, perhaps the drool and hive building is it waste.
Interesting sidenote: the Neomorph is actually rather robust creature. I would actually take it over protomorph based on its speed, strength and bite radius. Certainly having fungi part of DNA is going to give in an advantage that is unexplored.
Fantastic video, nice work!
Man I love your videos Alien Theory.
Love it but didn't Weyland-Yutani disappear before the events in the Auriga?
Their research data still had WY meta tags.
the company was bought by walmart :D
"The trackers off the scale man..Jesus they're all around us man..."
Miguel González Del Pino ... they were defeated, in space wars with the victor and scientific military, 200 years before Alien 4 (Alien Resurrection) as stated in that movie!! 🤔 It is the supposed military that will come to earth wondering why it's science cloning station of which, Ripley states, "Plenty of places to hide here!"
It was actually stated in the movie that the company was bought out by Walmart like previously mentioned.
Amazing video, you do a lot of good video editing and narration. Great research based on what the movies provide, though I suspect you are basing these findings on more than just the movies.
Also maybe it is just me, but it seems like the xenomorphs acid blood works more effectively on non-organic material, for example, it melts through two whole floors of the Nestromo, but a person can survive getting splashed as far as I am aware.
Just found your chan mate, this stuff is brilliant. The tone and presentation looks like it could easily be an easter egg on official movie blurays. Very enjoyable.
Xenomorphs are terrifying, extremely viscious and highly dangerous creatures...and yet they are somewhat elegant - almost even "beautiful", albeit in a VERY morbid and creepy way. I don't know how to put it. Anyhow, they're probably the best-designed monsters in cinematic history. Using Swiss artist Giger's eerie artwork & designs as an inspiration and his guidance along the way was absolutely perfect, it was the right decision. No wonder why they are so popular. Utter genious, timeless.
Question...where is the xenomorph that burst out of the Space Jockey?
I know it goes to Ibiza several times a year.
The derelict was there for a very long time so it could've died
It most likely became a Queen Mother over time and is in a dormant state of hibernation. Which is why there were thousands of eggs.
@J. Mtz non canon and also where's your source?
It died of old age in a hospice surrounded by friends and family
Yo A_T ! would love to see, if its possible a scientific explanation of the Yautja species.
Its just a request !
Really enjoying these pieces of excellent story telling.
Very interesting way of covering everything found out about the species through all the movies. Also, clever that it's presented as a company information short, like most businesses use.
"Suitable Orifice". So what you are saying is that it could be a butt hugger.
Well, the facehugger was designed to make people uncomfortable because it quite literally rapes its host, so who knows, maybe it can.
Well yes, however that would make the chest burster become an ass blaster and we cant have any cross franchise word play here, now can we?
it is not shown, but hinted that the xeno in Alien raped Lambert to death. So yeah...none of your body holes are safe 🤣
@@istvanszennai5209 where in the film is it hinted that it did that?
@Jormy Gormy: in the scene where the xeno approaches Lambert with it’s tail slowly rising towards her butt. Another (more explicit) hint is in Alien: Isolation (Last Survivor DLC?) where you can actually see the corpse of Lambert, dripping blood from...well...
Awesome video on the Alien species, I doubt whether David Attenborough could have done a better job!
I love how these are written as almost like Weyland-Yutani executive training videos.
"Nobody touch nothin..."
Ooo was that a predator sound at the end. I get the hint ;)
Damn this video was so cool!! Can you do one with the Predator please?
this was awesome, thanks for doing this.
thank you for all the work.
Could these videos get any better?! It’ll be hard to top an already top level standard 👌🏻
Why couldn't I of learned all this in biology/anatomy-physiology/chemistry???
Nick Mattio lol
Your videos are always so awesome. Thank you.
Live your content!! Keep it up!
Man, you are awesome for collecting and assembling the information and presenting it in-character. I will be sad when you stop making them... or might you continue in other universes? Predator is a natural side venture.
Also, I was flipping through the console RTS Aliens vs Predator: Extinction. There's a Bestiary "manual" available for perusal on a Wikia for the game. Surprisingly there's a mechanic involving "spores" that the Alien faction can use to adversely affect enemies.
Grain of salt for canon, but reminiscent of black goo considering the spores infect and damage enemies by blackening and changing their bodily fluids, altering their genetic material and creating better candidates for impregnation.
There's also an equivalent of a tumor called a hive node that spread creep- I mean the hive resin by producing the same spores that dig into the environment, suck nutrients out, then propagate and provide sustenance to xenomorphs.
I know this is just a bit of fun, but how can Weyland-Yutani have notes on events that happened in Alien Resurrection when they no longer existed? Didn't some deleted scene say they were bought up by Walmart or something?
"This installation has a substantial $$$ value.."
According to the Wayland-Yutani company report, I believe that they either are continuing their practices, or they broke off from Walmart.
Wow I love the background music. So mystical, mysterious, ambient with even a cautionary warning attached to it. Just spellbinding. Going even Further, it consumes and enthralls the listener. Perfect music for the Alien theory.
Astoundingly well put together video once again, the editing though...the fucking editing! Alien Theory is the only channel I get excited to see in my subscriptions anymore!
A very interesting species....anyone want to make with me mission to study the xenomorph hive?
Jan Gustl_WT David, is that you?
"Hey man yea let Bishop go!"
GunGarve1985 hahahaha!
you should take ash with you.
I m the newest model from Weyland-Yutani. I have time travelled back to study the human species for creating a far more powerfull creature on the base of the Xenomorph.
Stainless Steel teeth and BioMechanical Armor makes a deadly combo. I liked how Alien Theory used real life insect and reptilian examples to show just how biologically and evolutionary superior the Xeno is to all forms of life. Better than Predators, Engineers , Synths , Humans , everything and anything.
I challenge anyone to disagree.....
I bet they are inorganic.
True and for good reason because if they had Predator or Engineer like intellect to utilize advanced technology , Game over man , game over.... However you forget that the Xeno ITSELF is advanced technology and posses no need for space travel or engineering feats , Weyland Yutani will provide all the advanced technology in their pursuit.
The tarantula wasp he mentioned hunts tarantulas then stings them. The venom is a neurotoxin that incapacitates it and the wasp drags the tarantula back to its own burrow, stuffs it inside and injects its eggs into the spider and leaves. The tarantula is still alive when the eggs hatch and the larva begin to feed. When grown enough they bore their way out of the tarantulas empty shell of a body. We have them here in the southwest and I've seen a wasp dragging a stunned tarantula to its burrow ....neat hunh?
jaketinsley1987 there's plenty of things far more dangerous than a Zenomorph even inside aliens cannon. A synthetic alone should be capable of dealing with a Zenomorph if properly dedicated to combat because if you can make something that can react and be as cold and calculating as a machine then a Zeno would have little chance against it. That's just counting what's considered aliens canon there's plenty of things more dangerous than a Zeno.
