I always imagined the space jockeys being more biomechanical, like the pilot has that trunk because it's his oxygen hose. Like if they were to appear in a new iteration, I imagine them more closely resembling the aliens in scorn.
I discovered your channel by accident searching for what the engeneer was saying to Whyland in Prometheus. Now I'm addicted! Thank you very much for all of your outstanding work on these videos that I'm still trying to catch up on Alien Theory!
Props to them for that mission. I can understand the meaning of leaving Earth behind and all that. But I'd probably end up siding with those that wanted to get their planet back.
These books and comics were some of my favorites back in the day. Imagine if we could have had movies about this instead of Prometheus, etc. Always enjoyed the actual Space Jockey vs. what they did with the Engineers, but who knows, maybe they exist in the same universe and are actually different beings. Maybe the Engineers actually modeled their technology after the Space Jockey, would explain why they used similar ships and chairs.
TeknoVKNG23 The franchise was wisely sold to Fox News who in turn owns FX cable channels. I get confused on this as well. Apparently 20th Century Fox was seperate and apart from Fox news so it was unaffected by Disney's takeover of the movie studio. Anyway, that's how what was once dead (and make no mistake , Alien was dead)has been given life once again on an upcoming FX streaming service . I've been paying pretty close attention to what little has been said about the upcoming series and against my better judgement, I like what I'm hearing. There may not be an episodic show with a core group of cast members you see week in and week out. There may a core group of characters with a centralized plot and a main story to follow but if there is it won't be a week to week thing. Something they might get back to every once in awhile but I don't think it's going to be like that. The producers have said they aren't going to be constrained by any existing, current unresolved plotlines and will be free to move backward or forwards in time nor are we ruling out the possibility of adapting already published comic book or novel material. That means they can literally do just about anything including finish The prequel films(hope not) or adapt Dark Horse material, hopefully Verheidens original Aliens series.
@@chrispekel5709 Yeah no because heres how it is - These thing's or others like them created the engineer's who are WAY more advanced who the engineer's got their technology from, And werent even the best at it in their own way still. That modernity-hack who created ''covenant'' IS sh%t, But that doesnt mean him or his word means anything anymore after creating a crap-factor sequel like that and never apologizing for it, Let-alone for creating traaash like ''romulus.''
@@DavidpuzzlerU9738 it's on record the engineers are the same as the space jockey. It's canon. Ridley said in an interview that he was making the backstory of the space jockey seen in Alien. There's no way to interpret it except they're the same thing. You are taking fan fiction to explain the fact it was a shit decision and making it canon
I personally believe the theory that the Xenos existed before the Engineers and were worshipped to an extent by them, much like David and Ash the engineers admire their “purity.” And in my head cannon the engineers and space jockeys are separate species, space jockeys being more ancient.
The engineers worshipped the neomorph which came from a strange creature that birthed something from the otherwise infertile engineers. So it would make sense that due to them calling this facehugger predecessor a strange creature would mean they were unfamiliar to it and therefore hadnt met the aliens in their history. Which gives a strong possibility of aliens existing before the engineers and not created by them
In my headcanon, Prometheus was never made. Trying to make sense of it all is totally stupid. Either that or Prometheus is a totally different franchise
I prefer that the space jockies are engineers... but I think prometheus would have been better if the transmission was a distress call that wasn't meant for humans (didn't think humans had the potential to eventually receive it) and the engineer, who had put himself into stasis hoping for rescue, quickly dies when a chestburster emerges from him.
Would love to have a playlist for watching this Beyond series in chronological order, like with Earth War. Much thanks for your work. this is a sweet binge.
Lol you mean "Wilks" and "Billie" 🤣 I'm actually lucky enough to still have the original Dark Horse comic editions where Hicks and Newt have their own names before Alien 3 came out and they were retconned (lazily, as some pages still have "Acheron" instead of "Rim" and the right names instead of the Retcon names).
This is absolutely *Amazing!* as well as Damn! Those Malakak or Space Jockeys are unsettling as hell! As far as I learned that if the humans and Malakak have met under different conditions they could even be allies against much more hostile civilazations (You know whose)
I'd love to see a crossover between the Aliens and Independence Day "universes" in a graphic novel series, like this. The setting could take place at around 2,000 BCE, and might explain why the Independence Day aliens live as nomadic "locusts" during the present day. They went to war with the Malakak and paid the price by watching their own homeworld be rendered uninhabitable. The real trick is figuring out exactly how Human civilization factors on, during the Bronze Age.
I loved reading the Dark Horse Alien comics when i was a teen. Absolutely loved them! Wished that they would have taken these stories and made them into movies, or at least taken some parts of them. Sadly.. Well, here we are.
Dallas said the Jockey's remains were fossilized. I liked the idea of them them being that distant in time. Whatever they were any of their remnant had to have evolved into something else. Thats what really disappointed me about Prometheus and what was introduced in that film.
Given the room temperature IQ that everyone on that ship seemed to posses I always assumed that he meant mummified and not fossilized. A body being fossilized in that scenario just doesn't make any sense. *Mummification is possible in a sterile environment due to desiccation of soft tissue, if the environment isn't sterile then the soft tissue rots leaving behind only the skeleton. Fossilization is only possible by replacing that same tissue with minerals which wouldn't have been possible in that environment. So what we saw was a mummy not a fossil and Dallas is an idiot.
@@chrisdupuis2523 that could be true, but it's proportions were completely different to the engineer - even if the helmet looked similar. It was also double the size at least
Keep making these videos. I'm sure you've seen this before but if you covered stuff like Resident Evil (including books and comics) or the Thing with detail you put into Alien....Yeah I'd just leave your channel on repeat and go about my life
I have been watching your vids for a while now, and want to say youve done a great job! the way you put it all together is brilliant. keep up the great work and thanks.
The description of the psionic alien presence takes me back to the days when I suffered most from sleep paralysis. Just a moment ago, my eyes were darting all around my bedroom... lol
Imagine an alien intelligence that can read everyone's mind,sends a probe to hear us and build against that....to harvest earth's core😁 Oh hell! Imagine they read our imaginations thinking they're real. They be like "f that!"
I always enjoy seeing artists draw nude characters in works where they cant show any actual bits. It shows how creative the artist can get with placement.
I've been watching Alien Theory Earth War on The Shroud™...it has better reception than Salvahey's eyebox. Plus, i can neuro-load all of the episides when i get ready.
Maybe the engineers from prometheus were rebels that were tired of being a slave race and rebelled then the space jockey dropped the xenomorph on the planet's and that why we see the destroyed base
Unpopular Opinion : I actually prefer the engineer in the prometheus to these Elephant-Space jockey things I feel prometheus was a missed opportunity, alien the covenant was bad.
I prefer the engineers as a extinct race thanks to the xenomorphs. The pilot on the Acheron derelict was one of the last ones trying to escape the inevitable.
I realize the president was ingesting something to awaken the chest-burster from a sort of stasis, but the notion that humans had developed a method to impregnate a host, nurture the parasite to full size and then activate its escape instincts in less time than it takes to reheat a cup of coffee seems very on-brand for how most humans deal with xenomorphs in this franchise.
i actually know that alien that looks like a purple elephant kind of. i found a world in the canyons when i went exploring inside a crack in the wall of the canyon. i saw torches leading down a path of stairs and everything was dim and i started to see these alien gaurds with spears and gold bracelets. it was a lucid dream but it felt real like i get flashbacks of this day.
Ridley Scott did the first _Alien_ movie and immediately abandoned the series once he became a household name. Now, decades later, he comes crawling back, bitching about the fandom that kept his fame maker alive. Prick.
Just a dumb idea I had about my two favorite narrators. A youtube channels cross-over, "Battletech Theory" and "Tex Talks Alien" (from Black Pants Legion). This channel would narrate a BT storry or theory, and Tex would explain a weapon or military technology from Alien, probably the ATAX as the most prominent weapons and the Power Loader have already being covered here.
Great, if only further movies or tv series based on alien could be linked with account of the earth war, that would be amazing ! By far the lore period I prefer in the all alien universe Great video, keep it up 👌
This is not only a comic book. But 3 300-500 page novels. I found em in a library in 2006. All i did was read. And work. ( the earth war) can't remember if this is in the trilogy
I like that every alien race in the Alien and Predator franchises has a different function: the Yautja are hunters; the Xenomorphs are rabid parasites and the Engineers/Space Jockeys are an ancient race with a violent superiority complex.

Good word, gonna smoke my Grandma at Scrabble now.
I was just checking the channel recently to see if there was another video about Earth War.
So glad you’ve posted this
Leaving a comment for the algorithm. That's how I found you , and I hope others will. ❤️
Just when I thought this was all over... You've pulled me back in.
Never underestimate the Alien species.
There is always one more egg 🥚
I always imagined the space jockeys being more biomechanical, like the pilot has that trunk because it's his oxygen hose. Like if they were to appear in a new iteration, I imagine them more closely resembling the aliens in scorn.
In prometheus it was a hose connected to a helmet
Scorn is what Alien Covenant should have been
The entities in Scorn are confirmed to be humans
NICE!!! It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten anything from the Accounts of The Earth War... and a VERY welcomed one. Thanks A.T.

Unfortunately he retconned it and the engineers are the space jockey. It's shit but its true

This was incredible. I was not aware of any of this, so thanks for uploading this. Love the channel and your commitment to the A.T. Community.
I never get tired of your creative enhancement of the Earth War story with your visuals (ala the opening) and video effects.
Would love to have a playlist for watching this Beyond series in chronological order, like with Earth War.
Much thanks for your work. this is a sweet binge.
This coming to a close feels like an end of an era.
"You've been in my life so long, I can't remember anything else."
They really should have kept this design.
IMO they can still establish that the Engineers were created by the OG!Space Jockeys.
That trunk...... nah.
This is the “alien” of aliens we deserved, not “android engineered” bio-weapons.
Yes
hell yes
Agreed, but really wish we had gotten biomechanical species that grew living starships. Imagine.
@@landryprichard6778 Maybe their tech is biologically based? But alas, you are right my friend, we will never know...
I mean they can easily still biologically engined weapons
Just from a civilisation so old they are the only remnants
I'm glad there is a world where Ripley, Newt and Hicks get a happy ending, UNLIKE the movies
I read the comics before I saw Alien 3 and my disappointment was immeasurable and my day quite ruined.
Alien 3 sucked....
Lol you mean "Wilks" and "Billie" 🤣
I'm actually lucky enough to still have the original Dark Horse comic editions where Hicks and Newt have their own names before Alien 3 came out and they were retconned (lazily, as some pages still have "Acheron" instead of "Rim" and the right names instead of the Retcon names).
It's only bc of capitalism lol
Nah, it was retconed to fit with the canon. This is in the regular continuity and the characters have different names.
This is absolutely *Amazing!* as well as Damn! Those Malakak or Space Jockeys are unsettling as hell!
As far as I learned that if the humans and Malakak have met under different conditions they could even be allies against much more hostile civilazations (You know whose)

Keep going 🤓
These are so damn good.
Your narration is REALLY good!

Honestly man, you ought to do audiobooks, your work with this is amazing and I enjoy every upload.
Mike tyson: im the heaviest puncher.

man I can listen to your channel every night, like good night story before going to bed. Thank You.
Yesss I've been waiting for the next video on this!
Hell yeah! I love these readings so much.
You tube dropped your channel ony two weeks ago in my feed and I could not have been more happy. I love everything you have posted.

Same here
That would be more interesting than just having the Engineers be the space jockeys.
Maybe the engineers from prometheus were rebels that were tired of being a slave race and rebelled then the space jockey dropped the xenomorph on the planet's and that why we see the destroyed base

Glad to see you again :) the video's great!
16:54 that was one mean change of expression!
Bro, where are more of your long, hour + readings? I miss those badly
So even this scene was ripped off in Prometheus, but badly.
Never understood Ridley's snobbery around the 1990s comics, when he was so clearly influenced by Heavy Metal in Alien and Blade Runner.
@@jneilson7568 He would probably say he was a bigger fan of Metal Hurlant.
Ridley Scott did the first _Alien_ movie and immediately abandoned the series once he became a household name.
Now, decades later, he comes crawling back, bitching about the fandom that kept his fame maker alive.
Prick.
What happen to the woman did the pilot kill her too
Just a dumb idea I had about my two favorite narrators. A youtube channels cross-over, "Battletech Theory" and "Tex Talks Alien" (from Black Pants Legion). This channel would narrate a BT storry or theory, and Tex would explain a weapon or military technology from Alien, probably the ATAX as the most prominent weapons and the Power Loader have already being covered here.
Nice, just keep up with the Earth war!
What year does this take place in the AVP Galaxy?
The hatred for androids is very much making me think of what the engineers would do when they find out about Davids deeds.
Yes!!! Been waiting for you to get to here. Excellent work as always good sir!
Yes this is back, been a long time subscriber. Always tell people about your channel
Great, if only further movies or tv series based on alien could be linked with account of the earth war, that would be amazing !
By far the lore period I prefer in the all alien universe
Great video, keep it up 👌
This is not only a comic book. But 3 300-500 page novels. I found em in a library in 2006. All i did was read. And work. ( the earth war) can't remember if this is in the trilogy
I've been binging these comic videos at work, thank you for making them!! I've been obsessed with the Alien franchise since I was about 10 years old
i was expecting cult of personality to start playing
I like that every alien race in the Alien and Predator franchises has a different function: the Yautja are hunters; the Xenomorphs are rabid parasites and the Engineers/Space Jockeys are an ancient race with a violent superiority complex.
When I need to be reminded of what it feels like to be horrified, I come here. What a badass storyteller.
Neeeed moreee, fasteerrrrrrr! Aka this is hella good and I love listening to thsse.
these need to be films or a series/anime they would probably have a lot more hype for the alien series.
Someone should make an animation of ALL your vids I would pay for that
Great to hear from you again love your work keep it up amazing 😁
