@@odjurensland The best technique is a perfectly balanced (as all things should be) combination of both, practical effects alongside computer generated imagery.

I like your channel man. You have that distinctive pace of speaking, it's easier to understand to non-native English speaker like me :) Most of the similar channel speak so fast (too fast!), make it a lil bit difficult to catch each word.
The one thing I've always wondered was in the expanded universe, how do you safely move an ovamorph? Androids are a given, but if you're trying not die from the queen or the facehugger does one simply wait for an android or just sacrifice an employee?
Hey PsycoPyro! Sorry for the late reply!! The only way to move it is, as you said, with an android or by sacrificing employees, which has been a recurring motif in the alien franchise.
Well since Weyland Yukatani care little for employees and want to understand the xenos, they would probably try to convince people that it’d be faster just to sacrifice someone
I love the music in the backround. Straight from Covenant and the first film (including the tracks Alien borrowed from Goldsmith's other work Freud). Nice touch.
When I first saw the deleted scene where Ripley fun found Dallas I thought that Brett was just partially digested or covered with some substance that was breaking him down for digestion. Later learning about the concept of egg morphing just made the scene more horrifying. I'd love to see this concept further explored in a film.
Let's all take a moment to appreciate how much time and effort this guy put in to explain this stuff. We would be all non wiser without him. Thank you.
I always assumed the Preatorian xenos looked like big badass super soldiers because they were the breeding males which kept the hive running, kind of like how some insects like bees or ants do it. The queen lays the eggs, but only after being continuously fertilized by a pack of 6-12 large breeding males who exist for two sole purposes - protect and fuck. The males are usually unique in that they're the only males in the whole hive, while the rest of the worker drones and soldiers are female. We know that the standard xeno form is female after all.
One thing I've always disagreed with in terms of Alien lore is the idea of them being "the perfect organism". Yes they are incredibly durable, and superior strength-wise to humanity, the mere fact that they cannot reproduce independently keeps them from seeming "perfect" to me. I would argue a perfect organism would not require the "assistance" of a third party in order to continue it's life cycle. Seeing as how the only way one can be born is for an unsuspecting human to stumble upon it's egg. Say humanity as a whole knew what the eggs were, and made conscious actions to avoid, contain, or eliminate them. The entire species would most likely die out. If I remember correctly, one movie featured a Queen that gave birth, to live young. That I would argue is more along the lines of a "perfect organism" biologically speaking. But when an organism requires another's interference to reproduce, that doesn't strike me as the pinnacle of evolution. Especially if it was intended to be a planet-wiping bioweapon.
I always thought that is what they meant by " perfect organism '' that its a bio weapon that can do life wiping potential on Galactic scale or somewhere in that direction
I'm pretty sure Ash/WY meant that the Xenomorph drone specifically was the perfect organism, not necessarily The whole species and all their paraphernalia. Because it is only driven by survival of its kind even if that means destroying oneself. They don't love or hate or risk the group to save one individual etc. Xenomorph drones always make the correct choice for the survival of their kind. They'll see all their young die to protect a queen whereas humans would always choose to sacrifice 10 adults to save 1 child. Aka we're blinded and handicapped by morality whereas the xenomorph drone is not, therefore it is a perfect organism.
Typhoon Andy but you have to cut off either all limbs or attack the central nerve systems. There is also another necro that literally can’t die cause it regenerates
First off man, gotta say I love your vids. Seen almost all.of them. Second, I like to think of the ovomorphs and their "roots/tendrils" as more like a fungus' mycelium since it also allows communication, than a plants roots
@@gregmattes2119 They did that in the follow up comic with Hicks and Newt coming back to Earth. There are some funny parallels to what we see today there.
This was a terrific unexpected surprise. I’ve been an Alien / Aliens fan all my life and I never knew or even considered this aspect of the species before. Thank you very much for giving us such well presented lore to consider and rounding out the Universe of all things Alien. Immediate Sub and Like.
Alien Isolation may or may not have confirmed the alternative reproduction process from the deleted scene of the first film, because there is no queen, but we the start of a colony. This could indicate that every standard xeno might either A: Be able to have an emergancy-morph into a queen if there is none and we just didn't see it happen, or B: Have the ability to somehow fertilize a human or other victim, morphing them into an egg to continue the cycle. We could perhaps someday see a mixture of these two things, as perhaps a xeno might be able to spontaneously set the groundwork for a queen to be morphed, if not by themselves, then with the help of some random victim. In real life, certain kinds of fish will change their gender if they detect there aren't enough males/females in the water.
Can you explaine about the eggmorphed victim? How it was made by xenos and how it was done in a process specially if it was completed and the facehugger is inside the eggmorphed victim.
Those eggs must have some sort of mind control ability because every sucker who sees one feels compelled to walk right up to it and stick their face in it.
So is AVP canon? If it isn't then my next question can be disregarded, but if it is I ask this. How exactly does the Xenomorph exactly evolve into the Xenomorph we see in Alien? Because in AVP we see that the Predators already had the Ovamorphs and Queens that are seen in the far future by Ripley and used humans simply as the hosts to create the Xenomorphs for them to hunt. So how does that exactly work, timeline wise since the Xenomorph we all know isn't known to exist until Ripley finds it. It can only exist in that way with the same type of species of FaceHugger and Xenomorph infecting a human. Also in Predator 2, he had a Xenomorph skull (Human Epruption Variant) in his trophy case, how does he even have that?
In Predator 2, the Predator is an adult, and as the Predators are known to travel to many planets for worthy opponents, it is possible that the Pred in 2 had found and murdered a Xenomorph.
Bradyn Shenberger but dude Xenomorphs, the ones we know from Alien don't exist until the years before Ripley finds them and after Covenant. Predator 2 takes place hundreds of years before that gap in time that they could come to have evolved since they need the initial human contact to create that species of Morph. If Predator hunted something similar they would've had to have the black goo, tested it on different creatures, and made one that resembled the Xenomorphs made from Human hosts.
I heard a theory that AVP could be canon if you believe that David has been trying to revive the true Xenomorph in the films and not create them. This is backed up because carvings depicting the traditional Alien appear in Prometheus on the ship. So if the Xenos were only made by David, then how could the Engineers know what they look like? You could theorize that those eggs on Earth and other planets are the select few that survived since the Engineers died out and stopped producing them. If the Xenomorphs were first made by Engineers, it would make sense that one ship could've crashed on LV-426 and fossilized, they could appear in carving and the eggs could be collected by Predators for hunting.
AvP is its own universe in its own right: In the Alien stand-alone films, Xenomorphs were created by either the Engineers or David himself. In the separate AvP universe, the Xenomorphs originated through natural means like any other animal and evolved to become the "perfect organism" in their origin planet known as Xenomorph Prime.
The only thing that explain, since it never explained, the xenomorph's greatest ability is not attacking/lifecycle, it is elemental/molecular alteration skill most likely at the cellular level. You cannot explain the energy lost/gain any other way. To produce massive H ions, or able to grow inside a host without creating a corpse so fast. Fluid lost as the xenomorph drools is a huge energy sap when the xenomorph seemly dont eat or drink plus all the movement.
Hi Niyat. Can you talk about an extraterrestrial species that eat alien eggs for snacks?. They have a comic book story about it. In fact they sell those egg on street of their planet
It also gives a reason people were taken sometimes instead of outright killed. By hive logic you’d think the alien would react the way it did in the film by going on a killing spree but there’s no queen and no ovimorph scene to do as you said, add another layer of horror to Xenomorphs.
Having that egg morphing scene cut was for the better. It would've cut down on the importance of the queen from Aliens. They could've gone for a middle row and have the Xenomorph still trapping people in the first movie, but without the incubation. Showing that drones will still capture suitable hosts even is a queen isn't near by to provide eggs. Otherwise, why protect a queen whos job can be done by anybody?
The deleted/directors cut eggmorphing scene reminds me a lot of the clone room scene in alien resurrection and would have been a cool connection between these movies in my opinion
Only drones produce the resins that make up the hive wall and cocoons, the warriors and other castes are unable to "egg morph" a victim without a drone.
Wasn't it David, who created the xenomorphs? I mean, the version of the xeno's, that we see in the Aliens franchise. As I understand it, it wasn't the Engineers, who created them.
The engineers created them, David creating Xenos is just something added in the covenant movie (plus having the engineers make the xenos sound better rather than a robot created by a human create xenomorphs)
It may be canon, but that information is still a retcon of the established information from the previous movies. What, you think they had all this planned out since day one? The Alien was designed to be an enigma, a mystery that we actively discovered as it terrorized the crew and slowly learned these details about it. These new, over-explained and convoluted movies can not redo the intents of the original movies.
dragonheart967 Over explained? Isn't the biggest criticism of Prometheus and Covenant that they don't answer shit? Also, If David did create them it raises a lot of questions, most importantly how did they get out? And how are they still propagating? It brings back the mystery of what the Xenomorphs actually are as a species. Instead of the over simplified nonsense Aliens presented us with, which was literally space bugs.
over-explained in all the wrong areas. Like you said, they didn't answer shit, they focused on building up all this other shit. How did all those eggs get onto LV-226? Fucking nothing, just the backstory of a android playing god. It goes over the top in an attempt to explain origins, yet so far, hasn't explained shit. It's as though it's all a side story, because Ridley is attempting to fit it into the original movie. H.P. Lovecraft stated that the greatest kind of fear we can experience is fear of the unknown. In Alien, we had a creature on board a ship that was hunting the crew with LITERALLY no prior knowledge to what this thing is capable of, just that this thing wants to kill the crew. And it's fucking unstoppable, and is only given pause when it's flushed down the god damn airlock. But now we're int he trend of trying to explain every detail and remove any and all mystery of the Alien, just like they did in the sequel. In my honest opinion, it's best for the franchise to keep the Aliens just that, Aliens. Stop trying to come up with a convoluted and complex backstory for them, leave it be for us to at least speculate but at the same time, set up ground rules of what we are seeing. It's stuff like this that killed a lot of potential for a lot of movies in the late 80's and well into the 90's, when if they had anything mysterious or supernatural, they went ahead and explained a broke down every detail, trying to make sense of a monster or a disease or whatever it was. Leave it as is and just roll with it, you kill any majesty of what you made when you explain to me the very DNA structure and even the moral motives, going full Kojima.
I wonder what would happen if you sedated a face hugger and removed the embryo from it, would it continue to try face hug people or would it die also I know in reality this couldn't happen because the acid blood would kill the surgeon or destroy the equipment
Arsenic Poisoning it would be natural instinct to do so as the face hugger shows no signs of being sentient so it would just face hug till it's death :/
I am not so sure the Alien IS the perfect organism. Until they can breed without hosts and find a space faring creature to impregnate they will remain dependent on others.
I just thought of this watching this video and seen that the face huggers can live for a long period of time, who created it at what time? cause in AVP there was some back in that time when humans worshipped the predators and allowed them to be sacrificed for the xenomorph to be made for the hunt but the day they were created it seems in the future to go to space and have an android make the face huggers, I'm confused.
regardless , David would be disapointed how much his creation gets wiped out each times it accounters the humans ,and even more when it accounters the Predators
I saw the egg morphing scene in the theater, Saturday afternoon the day after the movie opened, back in the summer of 1979. Later on, people thought I was nuts because nobody else had seen it. I thought for years that I imagined it.
The director's cut is legit... but I always bristle at the idea of the xenomorph being the "perfect organism." Bogus. Being efficient ruthlessly hostile and efficient in procreation doesn't make something "perfect."
If I had to theorize the Mist it may have been a made by the Engineer as a suppressant and alarm. Some how the must blinds the Eggs ability to sense a Host how ever if a Host breaks the mist and gets closer. the egg can now sense a host given the Egg typically reacts to a nearby host a odd security mechanism by the Engineer? But I guess if it worked for them.
H.R Giger gets his monster inspiration from nightmares (In his own words), then actively decides to make the egg flaps look like a cross as a mockery to Catholics....Yeah, nothing strange here i guess
can't say i'm a fan of egg-morphing as a concept. i prefer the explanation one of the alien VS predator games made, where the Aliens undergo metamorphism as they age. If a Drone or Warrior lives long enough, it begins to molt into a Praetorian, a process which releases a chemical that compels other Drones and Warriors to attack it and try to kill it. If the transforming Praetorian is able to escape and finish it's molting, it returns without this chemical being released, and takes it's place as a Queen's guard, eventually molting again into a new Queen if either the former queen is found absent, or the hive requires more queens to continue growing. This way one alien escaping can still lead to an outbreak and a hive, but it has a more natural flow to it, and you don't need to figure out the biological backflips that must be happening to turn a human into a completely different species' egg.
TH-cam ads are getting worse and worse. I just had to click four times to get through the ad before the video. It wasn't a simple "wait 5 seconds and skip". And now there's also an auto-pause feature like what Netflix has, asking if we're still watching??

What came first the ovomorph or the queen
Da queen
The egg, seeing as the queen developed afterwards so the species would sustain itself.
David came first
My pet chicken says *delete your mammalian comment*
Going by just the movies lore, the egg came first, David’s sciences developed the first eggs and therefore, the egg cane first

They do have robots. Prometheus has one and alien covenant has two of them

Wait the eggs open when something comes too close I just thought everyone had really bad timing I’m so dumb
Ridely Scott left nothing unaddressed.

In Alien, we had a creature on board a ship that was hunting the crew with LITERALLY no prior knowledge to what this thing is capable of, just that this thing wants to kill the crew. And it's fucking unstoppable, and is only given pause when it's flushed down the god damn airlock. But now we're int he trend of trying to explain every detail and remove any and all mystery of the Alien, just like they did in the sequel.
In my honest opinion, it's best for the franchise to keep the Aliens just that, Aliens. Stop trying to come up with a convoluted and complex backstory for them, leave it be for us to at least speculate but at the same time, set up ground rules of what we are seeing. It's stuff like this that killed a lot of potential for a lot of movies in the late 80's and well into the 90's, when if they had anything mysterious or supernatural, they went ahead and explained a broke down every detail, trying to make sense of a monster or a disease or whatever it was. Leave it as is and just roll with it, you kill any majesty of what you made when you explain to me the very DNA structure and even the moral motives, going full Kojima.
This video is eggcellent
Slow handclap 👏
I wonder what would happen if you sedated a face hugger and removed the embryo from it, would it continue to try face hug people or would it die also I know in reality this couldn't happen because the acid blood would kill the surgeon or destroy the equipment
Arsenic Poisoning it would be natural instinct to do so as the face hugger shows no signs of being sentient so it would just face hug till it's death :/
What studies? Are they being conducted right now?
love your videos mate. who's the artist of the intromusic?
I like the Alien: Isolation music
Basic life cycle
Not really. Its complex.
The eggs themselves are alive!? They really are a powerful lifeform
Pause at 0.22. Nice!
I like the galaxy background music
Best intro👍
The face hugger and it throwing eggs to your throat it’s freaking disgusting
Good experience
Shame they took out that final scene
I like the video.
I just got an ad for Eggos on this video.
Is this a coincidence, or was this planned somehow?
Randy Rogers That IS a good question...
Practical effects are the fuqin best.
I am not so sure the Alien IS the perfect organism. Until they can breed without hosts and find a space faring creature to impregnate they will remain dependent on others.
song name intro?
egg morphing is not whats happening in the deleted scene
I just thought of this watching this video and seen that the face huggers can live for a long period of time, who created it at what time? cause in AVP there was some back in that time when humans worshipped the predators and allowed them to be sacrificed for the xenomorph to be made for the hunt but the day they were created it seems in the future to go to space and have an android make the face huggers, I'm confused.
Can you look at GODZILLA Planet of the MONSTERS??
Where is the directors cut thing with the eggmorphing?
its in the deleted scenes on the complete collection blu ray, or just search online for alien deleted scenes and it will probs come up
Sick intro beats! What's the name tho?
regardless , David would be disapointed how much his creation gets wiped out each times it accounters the humans ,and even more when it accounters the Predators
I saw the egg morphing scene in the theater, Saturday afternoon the day after the movie opened, back in the summer of 1979. Later on, people thought I was nuts because nobody else had seen it. I thought for years that I imagined it.
I have a question what is that alien gum that is sticking them to the wall?
The first time I heard you curse
The director's cut is legit... but I always bristle at the idea of the xenomorph being the "perfect organism." Bogus. Being efficient ruthlessly hostile and efficient in procreation doesn't make something "perfect."
It's called racism they don't kill other xenomorph
Where are the OWOmorphs?
I can't find the link to the extra director's cut scenes left in the about me section
If I had to theorize the Mist it may have been a made by the Engineer as a suppressant and alarm. Some how the must blinds the Eggs ability to sense a Host how ever if a Host breaks the mist and gets closer. the egg can now sense a host given the Egg typically reacts to a nearby host a odd security mechanism by the Engineer? But I guess if it worked for them.
H.R Giger gets his monster inspiration from nightmares (In his own words), then actively decides to make the egg flaps look like a cross as a mockery to Catholics....Yeah, nothing strange here i guess
Uh where's the link you discussed?
How about a video on David.
Knee-ant?
can't say i'm a fan of egg-morphing as a concept. i prefer the explanation one of the alien VS predator games made, where the Aliens undergo metamorphism as they age. If a Drone or Warrior lives long enough, it begins to molt into a Praetorian, a process which releases a chemical that compels other Drones and Warriors to attack it and try to kill it. If the transforming Praetorian is able to escape and finish it's molting, it returns without this chemical being released, and takes it's place as a Queen's guard, eventually molting again into a new Queen if either the former queen is found absent, or the hive requires more queens to continue growing.
This way one alien escaping can still lead to an outbreak and a hive, but it has a more natural flow to it, and you don't need to figure out the biological backflips that must be happening to turn a human into a completely different species' egg.
TH-cam ads are getting worse and worse. I just had to click four times to get through the ad before the video. It wasn't a simple "wait 5 seconds and skip". And now there's also an auto-pause feature like what Netflix has, asking if we're still watching??
