Have any of you tried playing the game Alien Isolation? It recognised as one of the scariest computer games ever. Just try sitting in a dark room on your own playing this game. It's the most terrifying atmospheric games ever made
That be fun. I know there's lotta things going on in the community, wether if the new things can stand the old movies, or if people are too dumb to recognize crappy scripts, doesn't matter But i like this community. Bc it is not so violent. Compared to other sht you could say. And you guys do a really good job. It's actually like me, watching new stuff, at a certain age. Best chanel atm, keep goin. Raggedy is fkn real. Except when Blake goes cringe, but that's just funny to watch
Just thought I would point out that these are all different planets. LV426 (Acheron) is a moon actually and is the planet from the first film where they find the Engineers ship AND the setting of the second film where Hadley’s Hope terraforming station is located. Fiorina 161 is the planet from the 3rd movie. LV-223 is also a moon and is the neighbor to Acheron (LV-426) from the first two films. This is the location of the film Prometheus, and is the site for the Engineers bio weapons research and development. Planet 16EG14 aka planet 4 is the planet that this film, Alien Covenant takes place after the ship is rerouted from its course to Origae-6, the colony planet they were heading to. This is also the planet that David drastically alters the ecosystem on when he releases the toxin above the Engineer city (also planet 4). Alien Resurrection takes place on a research vessel. Hope that clarifies the locations. Here is a helpful timeline for you as well including Predator franchise for full scope: 1719- Prey 1987- Predator 1997- Predator 2 2004- Alien V Predator 2005- Aliens V Predators Requiem 2010- Predators 2018- The Predator 2093- Prometheus 2104- Alien: Covenant 2122- Alien 2179- Aliens 2179- Alien 3 2381- Alien: Resurrection
She realise it was David once she mention cabin on the lake. She spoke with Walter about it ,David had no knowledge of it ,so when she asked if he will help her build it His face was surprise, like what cabin you on about
All these years later and I am still not forgiving them for the offscreen murder of Elizabeth Shaw it broke my heart since the actress Noomi comes from Sweden my home county and loved her since 2009 and was excited to see Elizabeth again in this. I went in completely unknowing and cried a lot
Yes one of the most stupid ideas on this franchise I was looking forward to seeing Shaw journey to the engineers planet They didn't even have the decency to give her a good send off
Yes. Just as stupid as killing Newt in the beginning of Alien 3. Bad writing. But anyway it doesn't make sense for Shaw to go to the engineer planet after all that happened. Any normal person would go back to Earth and report.
It was as terrible a decision as killing off Newt and Hicks. At least Newt's actress had aged between Aliens and Alien 3, so they had that excuse. Shaw was killed off for no reason other than to make her a fking egg experiment
@@davidpax At least killing off Newt made sense considering the actress had aged between the movies, so it would only mean they'd either had to change the actress, or go against their established science (they do not age during cryo sleep).
White alien is a Neomorph and the black one is a Protomorph "prototype" That is why it isn't born like a little snake type from the first movie alien is feral like the white one that why it needs a mother and the mother is an alien queen.
I wonder if the next one will take the mother AI network all the ships seem to be part of and do a biomechanical transfer into the mother alien and all other aliens DNA. Then explain away it wasn't the humans looking for the alien but the AI as it's still seeing David as it's new master since Weyland died.
This movie managed to piss off both fans of Prometheus and Alien. About the only good thing i can say about it is the performance of Michael Fassbender as David and Walter. I think Ridely Scott wanted to make a Blade Runner type movie about A.I. but forgot he was making an alien movie. It really sucks how they killed off Shaw's character, it makes all she went though in Prometheus to be pointless.
Ive always liked this flick depsite some of its flaws, when you guys eventually do the Alien vs Predator films be sure you do the unrated extended cuts for both🍻
I don't know what's wrong with people who don't vibe with Prometheus and Covenant (well nothing wrong with them, I just don't agree I guess), these are so interesting and well done, exploring the origin of a lot of things, still leaving a lot unanswered. I love them and I hope Romulus won't disappoint.
As o commented before, the final part of this trilogy was canceled, the story was to continue with the engineers coming to find what David had done, it was not certain that these were the engineers he killed as they look a lot different from the engineers in Prometheus. Fans were not happy with the idea that David is supposed to to have created the alien. But in Prometheus you do see a sculpture Of the alien.
I loved the idea that David created the alien. It is 100% canon that the original alien was biomechanical, and this give the explaination of how the mechanical side came ino the picture. My guess is that David would finally add a bit of himself into its final form, thus completed it.
Originally, I believe this was also mentioned independently of Scott or other involved parties, the alien species that David wipes out in Covenant was supposed to be the Engineers species. But as you say, that didn't sit well with fans, and the fact that they messed up the design of the Engineers in that movie and made them noticeably different from the ones we met, certainly opens up the potential for integrating a retcon into a perhaps future concluding prequel trilogy part, so that they were just some other species created by the Engineers, like humans as well. Yes, in Prometheus we already see a sculpture that looks very similar to the Xenomorph we know. I think it's very likely to assume that the Engineers also conducted numerous experiments with the black goo. Just in the process of developing it, etc. And perhaps they also conducted experiments on themselves or on other alien species they created, like humans, in the more distant past. We know from Prometheus that they visited Earth occasionally in the past. And the black goo has led to developments that repeatedly have similarities in the design of the Facehugger or the Xenomorph. Therefore, it's not unlikely that the Engineers have already created creatures similar to the Xenomorph we know through experiments with the goo. The concept that the definitive Xenomorph, as we know it from Alien 1, was created by David or something like that, I actually like. It's like a circle closing at the end.
@@Nerdlabor to be fair - Engineers definitely moved around through many worlds, so this very much could have been their homeworld, where the traditionalists regressed to super basic style of living. The Engineer in the Prometheus is said to be almost immortal, likely a product of bio-engineering himself, created with a mission to start more life (or in his case to eradicate the Earthian life after humanity failed). The people on the planet destroyed before the Covenant, could have been much more mortal kind of Engineers. It's also important to mention - even if technology evolved, pretty much all travelling through space takes a lot of time - days, decades and centuries that impact history of every species, including humanity.
@@freshoftheoven965I think Prometheus was the worst one. This one was absolutely unnecessary. And yes, Alien 3 was the most brutal. The alien was savage. This movie was about David, which completely takes the story off.
Yes i love you guys and i hate David ! What did you think about the back breakers? Excited to see you Cary on the franchise with predator you guys should definitely check out raised by wolves at some point as well.
The captain who burned in his pod was the chicks husband not father, and the race David wiped out was a different race that the Engineers, though they looked similar.David used Shaw’s DNA,to experiment and make the new aliens more human looking.
Nah, it's just terrible writing. Covenant should have continued on the Engineer saga, but this movie is just one big old mess, rewriting the script over and over and Ridley Scott changing his mind mid-filming. Its only saving grace was David and that's because of Fassbender
The decision of killing Shaw was as bad as killing Newt and Corporal Hicks. At least Alien 3 had the excuse of the child actress playing Newt aging between the movies and causing problems because of that. This was just a terrible decision, trying to replace Shaw with that cheap Ripley knockoff.
I love the thought that David landed, continued his work perfecting queens and is currently traveling the universe seeding planets with Xenomorph queens
Can’t wait for Alien: Romulus! Heard it’s supposed to be set between the events of Alien 79’, and Aliens 86’, during the 57 years Lieutenant Ellen Ripley was asleep on the Nostromo’s emergency escape shuttle. It’ll be interesting to see how they go with it. The writer showed it to Ridley Scott, and Scott had nothing but high praise for it, said it sounded “F-ing incredible,” and he especially liked the dialogue. The writer said it had been his dream for a man of Scott’s talent, and caliber, to be that impressed with one of his works. So it should be good. Release date set (so far) August 16, 2024.
It will also be composed by Benjamin Wallfisch. I am very curious to see what he’ll do with the music. Knowing his style, I think he’ll keep a bit of the classic Jerry Goldsmith’s themes but still use his own elements as well. It’ll most likely sound like a bit of IT and possibly The Invisible Man.
@@rodgill9376I really wished that filmmakers today would hire classic film composers to score more big movies like Alan Silvestri, John Williams, John Debney, Randy Edelman, David Arnold, Danny Elfman and even John Powell, instead of composers who just make a lot of noise they call "music" and call it a day 🙄😒.
I agree that David is the most interesting character of this series. Ridley Scott has been obsessed with themes of children/the created trying to take power from God/parents by killing them and becoming creators themselves. He did this in Blade Runner, Gladiator, etc. David is the personification of that theme.
David's God complex starts when he realized that humans will die but he will live forever unless destroyed somehow. That's what it sound like to me at least. How about this? The Engineer's created Humankind but for some reason decided to wipe us out but failed in Prometheus. Perhaps they decided that Humans are flawed and well humans ends up creating androids like David who gets a God complex and decides to create a perfect lifeform and he sees humans as imperfect. I think there is a theme here
Its implied that the reason they want to wipe us out is because we killed their ambassador (Jesus). Hence humans being guilty of killing their gods/mothers
Little note: the Neomorph (white xeno) was suppose to encounter the new Protomorph (black xeno) during the escape to the evac ship. Unfortunately the method of puppetry (yes the aliens are practical props but edited in post like in Alien 3) limited the motions for a brawl and the scene was scrapped. However, this fight is included in the book copy. The scene plays out that one surviving Neomorph ambushes the team and the Protomorph catches up. These two aliens sense competition with the other and begin fighting each other, thus allowing the team to flee. While the Neomorph had faster attacks, the Protomorph was more robust, bigger, and stronger. It tanked all the attacks and killed the Neomorph with ease before resuming the pursuit.
Competition between the aliens over what? Scoring kills? edit - I'm asking because it doesn't make sense to me, so I'm hoping for more of an explanation
This movie got so many mixed reviews and so much flack but I actually like this one and I enjoyed it a great deal. ✊🏻 Great reaction you guys, keep them coming brothers! ❤
There’s 2 types the NEO MORPH and the XENO MORPH the neo morph was the ist creation David made he was experimenting using the animals on the planet as hosts the neo morph was an early version of the thing that we come to no as the ALIEN the xeno morph he made other creations until he eventually created the alien xenomorph
nah Prometheus is the one. better movie better lure overall. aged gracefully. I didn't get to see it in theaters but went to see covenant in theaters first week that sh*t was traasshh whole crew was incompetent lol no wonder it took David a few days to infiltrate😂 hopefully we get a 3rd movie to close out this modern trilogy but idk don't think Ridley & fox wanna do it
The upcoming series is also ignoring those movies, so now there's speculation that Disney might remove them from canon.......like they did to the Star Wars Universe when they acquired the IP.
@@The.Crawling.Chaos. I did not say Star Wars movies, but for clarity they removed everything other than the movies from canon. An easy example are the Thrawn Novels, of which only the three most recent are canon.
The problem with these 2 movies is they shrink the alien universe down to one crazy robot instead of a large alien civilization. It is like a completely different universe from the original movies. It also has the modern movie issue of explaining every last detail, leaving all mystery destroyed.
That's not really true. If anything Prometheus makes the universe feel more vast and mysterious and blurs the line between science and religion. The main problem with the movies is Ridley Scott caving to "fans" and making such a drastic change in direction going from Prometheus to Covenant. They should have focused on the engineers and the philsophical questions surrounding that whole story line and kept it as loosely connected to Alien as possible. But I will say they hardly explain everything, there's plenty of mystery. For example so many people are under the impression that David ends up being the creator of the Xenomorph despite the fact there's a lot of evidence in the films to disprove that. He recreates them at best using designs and technology he got from the engineers and attempts to improve them because he has a god complex and believes he's the superior being.
I see where you’re coming from, but it’s also extremely easy to separate the first Alien films from these prequels You can watch those originals without needing the prequels after and visa versa
The ship on LV-426 carrying the eggs in Alien can't be David's creation. The engineer in the chair was fossilised. Dallas said it. That ship had been sitting there for hundreds or thousands of years. And that's part of why so many people hate this movie with a passion. Scott is undermining his own 1979 masterpiece with this new David narrative. It doesn't make sense. Also, when you go explore an unknown planet : step 1 you wear protective gear like A HELMET ! But this crew aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. And another thing that doesn't add up to the lore : these protomorphs (or whatever they're called) that grow from spores are much more efficient at infecting a host and becoming a super deadly killing machine than the classic xenomorph life cycle we know. So why bother with adding eggs and fafehuggers. It's a step backward. So many things wrong with this movie.
I have a suggestion for a fim for you to react to: PSYCHO (1960), a classic mystery thriller, which influenced several other films that came later, it has tense and surprising moments, you'll like it
I love the cinematography and set design and David is genuinely such an interesting character..... but I just CANT see these movies, Covenant and Prometheus, as cannon. They just contradict way too much of the established lore, and in a sense genuinely ruin the "alien" aspect of the story. They make the universe feel so much smaller. Its a damn shame. And this is just personal preference, but design wise I think this is the worst looking Xenomorph. Easily. No biomechanical designs. No distinctive texturing. It feels like a generic b movie zombie thing with a big head.
To be fair its Covenant that starts to break things. If anything Prometheus makes the universe feel bigger and more mysterious and adds a layer of philosophy to it all without breaking any canon. They should have continued with that story and not caved to fans who wanted a generic alien movie, it should focus on the engineers and be very loosely connected to alien. I personally don't consider Covenant canon either (mostly because the film is just bad and wasted potential) but at the same time it doesn't really break any lore. By the end of the movie there's zero explanation of how eggs David is supposed to have created end up on the original space jockey ship. Without a third movie the only explanation is he didn't create those eggs, the engineers did, he was just tampering with their designs during the events of Covenant. He has a god complex and thinks he could improve them but he never actually created anything the engineers hadn't already. So in the end it really doesn't break anything. And when it comes to the original alien the Engineers were transporting the eggs, its not a crazy to assume they created them especially given the biomechanical look matches the design of their ships and I don't think it ruins the origin of the Xenomorph at all given it not only makes sense, but the Engineers are incredibly advanced, mysterious and god-like figures in the first place. Exploring that mystery is what makes the plot of Prometheus so compelling to begin with. If they had cut the scenes with the dumb scientists and kept all the deleted engineer scenes the movie would be excellent. Covenant is unredeemable though, cheap shock horror.
@@EmpyreanDreamer "If anything Prometheus makes the universe feel bigger and more mysterious and adds a layer of philosophy to it all without breaking any canon. " HARD disagree. The movie absolutely makes the universe feel infinitely smaller and absolutely breaks canon. In the original film we are introduced to the remains of the space jockey and it sinks in just how small and irrelevant humanity is in the greater universe. That there is this greater conflict, potentially thousands of years old at this point, and these civilizations have zero connection to us and dont even acknowledge we exist. Then Prometheus decided, no actually, the space jockeys made humanity, and humanity is also directly tied to the creation of the xenomorph as well. Not only that, instead of being a cool elephantine creature, the Space Jockey is instead just a big albino human. Its such a dumb decision to just ruin the lore like that. And it absolutely destroys canon, on account of the space jockey suddenly being a third of its size and being armor instead of bones. It was VERY CLEAR in the first film it was a skeleton. The philosophical element is half baked, at best, and completely undermined at worst. I get that its supposed to be an anti-religion, anti-theist message, but when you have the space jockeys LITERALLY being humanity's creator, it completely defeats the point. "They should have continued with that story and not caved to fans who wanted a generic alien movie, it should focus on the engineers and be very loosely connected to alien." This is a terrible idea and it ruins the mystery of the space jockey, another reason why Prometheus sucks dog water. Its the ALIEN franchise, not the Space Jockey franchise. They were always meant to be an enigma and trying to explore them more absolutely hurt the lore. " its not a crazy to assume they created them especially given the biomechanical look matches the design of their ships" In expanded media, its been shown that xenomorphs are naturally evolved and have a homeworld. And this is much more in line with the anti-theist message and just much more compelling narratively then them just being constructs. This lore has been established and yet Prometheus rejected it for something objectively worse.
I know people have their gripes about these movies but dayum Michael Fassbender really made me love these. Really amazing!! 👌 just insane! Super hype for avp its another interesting one! Cant wait for the reactions!
Prometheus released in 2012 and takes place in (2089 and 2093) as for Covenant released in 2017 and takes place in (2104) which Alien released in 1979 but takes place in the year (2127) the Newer 2000's movies technology doesn't make any sense to the Prometheus (2089) technology that it completely destroys that movie itself just by show it, I guess Riley Scott though he could do the George Lucus Star Wars switch and that's why the movies are the worse of the franchise. At least Star Wars did show holograms in The Empire Strikes Back movie which made the Phantom of the Menace link up with tech, but Alien didn't do any of that. Aliens Ripley wakes up after being saved in the year (2184) which means Bishop would be a super Android and not a slow-moving dumb robot as he shows in movie plus the Technology on LV426 and everything else would have been so much more complex and better technology than what's in the movie, just some of the Reasons why this timeline doesn't work with trying to make movies about what happen before Alien nothing lines up or makes any sense, No Logic! given Weyland-Yutani Corporation would use and have the best newest technology. 👎👎💩
A few things. Alien Awakening was to be the third in the prequel trilogy. Also, David tinkered with the xenomorph biology, but did not create them. And third, Alien Romulus takes place between alien and aliens, and is not a direct sequel or prequel to anything as far as we’ve been told.
that’s not what the movie did. david is trying to recreate them and make them even better with his experiments. in prometheus and covenant there are multiple points of evidence showing they already existed, and david’s god complex pushes him to try to recreate them and control them with his need to create
ROMULAS it nothing to do with the alien saga or Prometheus and covenant it’s separate it’s a reboot of the original alien but these 2 films are completly unfinished as alien covenant 2 has been SCRAPPED SHELVED, ROMULAS is completly on its OWN separate nothing to do with any other alien film
The only redeeming quality of this movie for me is Michael Fassbender He was chef’s kiss ❤. I really hate this movie for what they did to Elizabeth, the f**king disrespect to her & Noomi Rapace.
Once again, the viral marketing campaign & the prologue short that was released online were the shining stars in the release of Alien: Covenant. Whilst I don’t think it’s a bad film, I do find the actions of the crew questionable. It’s such a shame that the prequel trilogy has been left incomplete. For example, we can only assume that David is responsible for the derelict craft the crew of the Nostromo find in the original Alien film. Did he further engineer the xenomorph, giving it the biomechanical look we’ve become accustomed to? Who’s the engineer the crew of the Nostromo find? If David is responsible for the derelict on LV-426 how did he manage to create so many eggs; as we can only assume he created a Queen. The list of possible questions goes on & on. Fun Fact: The opera Das Rhinegold; which David listens to, possibly influenced LOTR. J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novels The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954) share elements with Der Ring des Nibelungen, but Tolkien himself denied that he had been inspired by Wagner's work, saying that "Both rings were round, and there the resemblance ceases." In spite of Tolkien's protestation, there are various similarities in addition to annularity: a ring of power which curses its bearer; a powerful wanderer in a large hat carrying a spear (Wotan) or staff (Gandalf the Grey); magical invisibility; the reforging of a powerful sword; a riddle contest; Sméagol's murder of his cousin Deagol for possession of the ring and Fafner's murder of his brother Fasolt for the same reason; the slaying of a powerful gold-hoarding dragon; to name but a few. Tolkien may have drawn, albeit partially, upon common source material, including the Völsunga saga and the Poetic Edda. The crucial element of the storyline, that the Ring is evil, and will work of itself to the undoing of its possessor, is common to both, as is the lust for world domination connected with its power, and that the Ring has been stolen (Wagner) or captured (Tolkien) from its rightful owner(s).
There was supposed to be a alien covenant 2, but they shelved it scrapped it it’s not going to be made it was supposed to pick up after covenant pick with daniels the colonists and David and the aliens and maybe tennesse but these 2 films are LEFT UNFINISHED will never be completed and finalised the next alien film has nothing to do with Prometheus or covenant or the alien saga it’s a reboot of ALIEN
Watching this movie alone was true horror. Watching it again made me really like it. Good sense for the older movies, the character acting. And it made Prometheus even bigger, more important. I enjoy the reactions very much, you rock
One of my favorite parts of the movie was the musical score. I really liked that “whoo-whoo” motif that they used. It sounds like either woodwind synths or some other industrial effect. It plays out almost all the time in some form or other. The Med Bey sequence being a good prime example. I also really like those electronic beats in the sounds too. Has a really sick bass tone that I never get sick of. Of course, it’s always nice hearing Jerry Goldsmith’s themes from the first film making a few appearances as well. Sounds just as triumphant and romantic as it did long ago. Really love the music of these films!
I love it too. That sound you’re talking about that gets going in the beginning when everything starts going to shit is so eerie. It almost sounds like a ghostly alarm. It really made it feel like a nightmare.
@@jonathanmoore9661 I honestly kind of wished I knew how Jed Kurzel made that sound effect. It’s either some kind of synths or a woodwind effect. Not too sure but I’ve always loved that sound. It’s rather jarring and suspenseful.
This was a good movie that was Prometheus but I look at them as a Multiverse style movies and alien and aliens are in one universe. Prometheus and Covenant are in another, Aliens versus Predator in Aliens versus Predator Requiem are in another, predator and Predator 2 are probably in another universe predators and the Predator are in Another Universe, praise in the first Predator universe predator and Predator 2 Alien 3 is a nightmare and Ali Resurrection is a wild ass dream of somebody's, something that should be in a comic book . I love all the movies though, just for the content and the way they all give me nightmares.
I just found out that there is one Alien comic series indicating that David not only survived long after his final movie appearance (Alien: Covenant) but that he became an android messiah.
It's such a bummer that the two latest movies are SO plagued by "dumb characters". I feel like these would be absolute classics if it weren't for that.
Soo who’s really bad here if we created David and David created the zenmorphs and the engineers created us? 😂honestly it’s all the engineers fault, one must create to destroy or is it one must destroy to create? A lot to think about 🤔
These two movies (Prometheus and Covenant) are like Mad max Furiosa. Not that they are bad movies, but are completely off the trilogy they are BASED on.
I'm sure people have already commented this but one major clue that David is Walter is that they are stapling his face, Walter would have just healed unlike David who cannot.
Killing off Shaw (best character alongside David in these 2 entries) feels like a slapt to the face. Dont know what they were thinking when they decided that.
I hated that most of the characters were morons. Especially the idiot that blew up the shuttle! She locks up her colleague for fear of infection, even though SHE was sprayed in the face with blood, then proceeds to shoot the gas tanks. Man I hated her. But then the captain sticking his face into an egg! OMG Also, not a fan of the killer android story, so David had to go.
I personally disliked Prometheus when it was released. I felt it was too far away from the xenomorphs that we knew and didn't appreciate the direction. That was until covenant was released. After I watched covenant for the first time it made me go back to watch prometheus immediately. It made me fall in love with direction that was taken when some of the dots were joined together. Aliens is hands down still my favourite but between alien, prometheus and covenant it's hard to put a second place. Keep in mind the lore in predator and avp (franchise) does not add up now prometheus and covenant explains the xenomorph origin story. I'm not going to explain how and why so you don't get spoilers but you'll see by the timeline of events if/when you get to watch them.
Would have been better if they had infection control... spacesuits on an alien planet, strict quarantine if signs of infection... BUT... the alien blasted through the infection controls. Also the crew was pathetically inept. Why have a second-in-command of the mission that wasn't confident and extremely competent. Visually it was amazing of course for a Ridley Scott film. The themes of creation and meeting your maker are fascinating. Thanks guys, I really enjoy your reactions.
There is a small clip of Shaw and David, after the events of Prometheus, Shaw got terribly sick and David did everything to save her but she didn’t make it, so after that David played god with her eggs in her ovaries to create the perfect Alien
Good reaction. The CGI, most notably in the 3rd act, and the ridiculous method in killing the alen were my primary issues with this film. Other than that, a very enjoyable watch. I particularly liked the interactions between David and Walter.
Now that you've reacted to all these Alien movies, I think it's time you reacted to Sigorney Weaver in a comedy alien space movie called Galaxy Quest. Very good movie with a great cast.
I love your guys as reactions. it's where you find such intelligent thoughtful reactors and I appreciate it. I also love your set up. It's well done excellent
The first AvP movie is ok it gets a lot of hate but it's fun Not so much the second one it's very poor one of the reasons is you can't see bugger all Anyway good show guys keep em coming Are you thinking of doing the predator series some of those are really good 👍 Or how about the resident evil films they get some hate as well but I find them fun if nothing else 👍
Definitely going to get into Predator! Not sure on Resident Evil yet. I know we all have some knowledge about Resident Evil from the games. Could be a fun watch. I've seen a few of the films already -Corey
David loved Shaw only because her mutated eggs he harvested from her ovaries allowed him to create the face huggers and eggs for the Xenomorphs, allowing him to achieve his God tier status
If you want more Alien IP while you wait for Romulus, check out the 40th Anniversary Alien Anthology. It's a handful of short films that add to the lore. All together, I don't even think it's an hour long, but it's pretty damn cool. Especially because each part of the anthology was directed by upcoming directors who were all mega fans of the franchise
@@ilikeknives1000 I like this lore rather than the aliens just being a buncha bugs. Cameron's movie was great, but it didn't make the concept of the Alien better.
Dahmer didn't experiment on the dead, really. He was obsessed with making a living zombie. Once they passed he came up with ways of disposing of them, but he did not experiment on them to achieve means to any end.
I still contend that David did NOT create the Xenomorph. He created a convergent strain based on the inherent properties of the Black Liquid...the Xenomorph being the ultimate expression of the Black Liquid's dna jiggery pokery, and that's why his creatures are different.

Fiorina 161 is the planet from the 3rd movie.
LV-223 is also a moon and is the neighbor to Acheron (LV-426) from the first two films. This is the location of the film Prometheus, and is the site for the Engineers bio weapons research and development.

Cojo: "David is not a good guy."
Igli: "David is a freak."
Corey: "He is becoming my favorite character."
She realise it was David once she mention cabin on the lake. She spoke with Walter about it ,David had no knowledge of it ,so when she asked if he will help her build it His face was surprise, like what cabin you on about
Walter was able to heal himself, so the hint that it was actually David at the end was the fact that the cuts on his cheek didn't heal.
Also he didn't know about the log cabin.
I absolutely love all of the Alien scenes in this movie. The story is all over the place and weird but the action and cinematography is excellent.
You are sick! This is unlogical, and stupid to dusgust!
All these years later and I am still not forgiving them for the offscreen murder of Elizabeth Shaw it broke my heart since the actress Noomi comes from Sweden my home county and loved her since 2009 and was excited to see Elizabeth again in this. I went in completely unknowing and cried a lot
Yes one of the most stupid ideas on this franchise I was looking forward to seeing Shaw journey to the engineers planet
They didn't even have the decency to give her a good send off
Yes. Just as stupid as killing Newt in the beginning of Alien 3. Bad writing. But anyway it doesn't make sense for Shaw to go to the engineer planet after all that happened. Any normal person would go back to Earth and report.
Her eggs and the reproductive system served to David create his organisms.
It was as terrible a decision as killing off Newt and Hicks. At least Newt's actress had aged between Aliens and Alien 3, so they had that excuse. Shaw was killed off for no reason other than to make her a fking egg experiment
@@davidpax At least killing off Newt made sense considering the actress had aged between the movies, so it would only mean they'd either had to change the actress, or go against their established science (they do not age during cryo sleep).
White alien is a Neomorph and the black one is a Protomorph "prototype" That is why it isn't born like a little snake type from the first movie alien is feral like the white one that why it needs a mother and the mother is an alien queen.
I wonder if the next one will take the mother AI network all the ships seem to be part of and do a biomechanical transfer into the mother alien and all other aliens DNA.
Then explain away it wasn't the humans looking for the alien but the AI as it's still seeing David as it's new master since Weyland died.
Slight mixup, the protomorph was what people also refer to as the Deacon at the end of Prometheus and the black one in this film is a praetomorph.
I can't wait for PREDATOR react, alien's "rival" franchise.
This movie managed to piss off both fans of Prometheus and Alien. About the only good thing i can say about it is the performance of Michael Fassbender as David and Walter. I think Ridely Scott wanted to make a Blade Runner type movie about A.I. but forgot he was making an alien movie. It really sucks how they killed off Shaw's character, it makes all she went though in Prometheus to be pointless.
It's as if Ridley Scott thinks his cinematography is so good his stories don't need to make sense 😁
I think the original Alien looked more gritty, grimey cyberpunky than these too clean prequels.
Whatever he had, he lost it.
Some people need to know when to retire.
Ive always liked this flick depsite some of its flaws, when you guys eventually do the Alien vs Predator films be sure you do the unrated extended cuts for both🍻
I always say: James Franco was in this for a hot minute!!
Ah ah ah
I don't know what's wrong with people who don't vibe with Prometheus and Covenant (well nothing wrong with them, I just don't agree I guess), these are so interesting and well done, exploring the origin of a lot of things, still leaving a lot unanswered.
I love them and I hope Romulus won't disappoint.
As o commented before, the final part of this trilogy was canceled, the story was to continue with the engineers coming to find what David had done, it was not certain that these were the engineers he killed as they look a lot different from the engineers in Prometheus. Fans were not happy with the idea that David is supposed to to have created the alien. But in Prometheus you do see a sculpture Of the alien.
I loved the idea that David created the alien. It is 100% canon that the original alien was biomechanical, and this give the explaination of how the mechanical side came ino the picture. My guess is that David would finally add a bit of himself into its final form, thus completed it.
Originally, I believe this was also mentioned independently of Scott or other involved parties, the alien species that David wipes out in Covenant was supposed to be the Engineers species. But as you say, that didn't sit well with fans, and the fact that they messed up the design of the Engineers in that movie and made them noticeably different from the ones we met, certainly opens up the potential for integrating a retcon into a perhaps future concluding prequel trilogy part, so that they were just some other species created by the Engineers, like humans as well.
Yes, in Prometheus we already see a sculpture that looks very similar to the Xenomorph we know. I think it's very likely to assume that the Engineers also conducted numerous experiments with the black goo. Just in the process of developing it, etc. And perhaps they also conducted experiments on themselves or on other alien species they created, like humans, in the more distant past. We know from Prometheus that they visited Earth occasionally in the past. And the black goo has led to developments that repeatedly have similarities in the design of the Facehugger or the Xenomorph. Therefore, it's not unlikely that the Engineers have already created creatures similar to the Xenomorph we know through experiments with the goo. The concept that the definitive Xenomorph, as we know it from Alien 1, was created by David or something like that, I actually like. It's like a circle closing at the end.
@@Nerdlabor to be fair - Engineers definitely moved around through many worlds, so this very much could have been their homeworld, where the traditionalists regressed to super basic style of living. The Engineer in the Prometheus is said to be almost immortal, likely a product of bio-engineering himself, created with a mission to start more life (or in his case to eradicate the Earthian life after humanity failed). The people on the planet destroyed before the Covenant, could have been much more mortal kind of Engineers. It's also important to mention - even if technology evolved, pretty much all travelling through space takes a lot of time - days, decades and centuries that impact history of every species, including humanity.
@@applegeepedigreeno
This movie Already fucked up the engineers lore so how could you make a trilogy?
This is without a doubt the most brutal film in the saga.
Is whitout a doubt the worse alien movie worse then alien resurrection a nd actually resurrection and alien 3 were more brutal
oh nooooo - he ruined another one?@@freshoftheoven965
@@freshoftheoven965🤡🤡 clown drunk in nostalgia
What? Hahaha definitely not.
@@freshoftheoven965I think Prometheus was the worst one. This one was absolutely unnecessary. And yes, Alien 3 was the most brutal. The alien was savage. This movie was about David, which completely takes the story off.
Yes i love you guys and i hate David ! What did you think about the back breakers? Excited to see you Cary on the franchise with predator you guys should definitely check out raised by wolves at some point as well.
at the end David goes to Origae 6 and you know what Origae mean in Latin ? : Charriot driver (space jokey ;) )
I wonder if the Romulans will come out in Romulus
🤣🤣🤣
The captain who burned in his pod was the chicks husband not father, and the race David wiped out was a different race that the Engineers, though they looked similar.David used Shaw’s DNA,to experiment and make the new aliens more human looking.
David didn’t make the Alien he just recreated the Alien. The space jockey was there for like 1000 years.
Nah, it's just terrible writing. Covenant should have continued on the Engineer saga, but this movie is just one big old mess, rewriting the script over and over and Ridley Scott changing his mind mid-filming. Its only saving grace was David and that's because of Fassbender
Fuck Ridley Scott he messed everything up it’s all a mess because David didn’t create it he thinks he did 😂if only someone crushed his dream
Noomi Rapace the lead actor in the last movie is amazing. Y'all should check out the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. She's so so good in it.
Agreed, the original series is flawless and Noomi is amazing!❤❤❤
The decision of killing Shaw was as bad as killing Newt and Corporal Hicks. At least Alien 3 had the excuse of the child actress playing Newt aging between the movies and causing problems because of that. This was just a terrible decision, trying to replace Shaw with that cheap Ripley knockoff.
*David kisses his brother* "..that's robotic incest."
To movie buffs, that's the Kiss of Death. 😂😂😂
Well it was really amped up the Wattpad relationship with "blow and I'll do the fingering."
I love the thought that David landed, continued his work perfecting queens and is currently traveling the universe seeding planets with Xenomorph queens
This and Prometheus are underrated as hell. Next best Alien movies after Alien and Aliens. Easily..
Covanent is so underrated
but not even close to canon. they didnt even get the planet right in prometheus.
My problem with prequels are mostly dumb characters, mostly.

Can’t wait for Alien: Romulus! Heard it’s supposed to be set between the events of Alien 79’, and Aliens 86’, during the 57 years Lieutenant Ellen Ripley was asleep on the Nostromo’s emergency escape shuttle. It’ll be interesting to see how they go with it. The writer showed it to Ridley Scott, and Scott had nothing but high praise for it, said it sounded “F-ing incredible,” and he especially liked the dialogue. The writer said it had been his dream for a man of Scott’s talent, and caliber, to be that impressed with one of his works. So it should be good. Release date set (so far) August 16, 2024.
It will also be composed by Benjamin Wallfisch. I am very curious to see what he’ll do with the music. Knowing his style, I think he’ll keep a bit of the classic Jerry Goldsmith’s themes but still use his own elements as well. It’ll most likely sound like a bit of IT and possibly The Invisible Man.
@@rodgill9376I really wished that filmmakers today would hire classic film composers to score more big movies like Alan Silvestri, John Williams, John Debney, Randy Edelman, David Arnold, Danny Elfman and even John Powell, instead of composers who just make a lot of noise they call "music" and call it a day 🙄😒.
I agree that David is the most interesting character of this series. Ridley Scott has been obsessed with themes of children/the created trying to take power from God/parents by killing them and becoming creators themselves. He did this in Blade Runner, Gladiator, etc. David is the personification of that theme.
I think Ridley is too obsessed with gods/mothers. The series Raised by Wolfes is terrible.
David is my favorite in the prequels
Just kick the Alien like a Small child had me in stitches 😂😂😂😂
David's God complex starts when he realized that humans will die but he will live forever unless destroyed somehow. That's what it sound like to me at least.
How about this? The Engineer's created Humankind but for some reason decided to wipe us out but failed in Prometheus. Perhaps they decided that Humans are flawed and well humans ends up creating androids like David who gets a God complex and decides to create a perfect lifeform and he sees humans as imperfect.
I think there is a theme here
Its implied that the reason they want to wipe us out is because we killed their ambassador (Jesus). Hence humans being guilty of killing their gods/mothers
Little note: the Neomorph (white xeno) was suppose to encounter the new Protomorph (black xeno) during the escape to the evac ship. Unfortunately the method of puppetry (yes the aliens are practical props but edited in post like in Alien 3) limited the motions for a brawl and the scene was scrapped.
However, this fight is included in the book copy. The scene plays out that one surviving Neomorph ambushes the team and the Protomorph catches up. These two aliens sense competition with the other and begin fighting each other, thus allowing the team to flee. While the Neomorph had faster attacks, the Protomorph was more robust, bigger, and stronger. It tanked all the attacks and killed the Neomorph with ease before resuming the pursuit.
Competition between the aliens over what? Scoring kills?
edit - I'm asking because it doesn't make sense to me, so I'm hoping for more of an explanation
@@w1975b The aliens aren't on the same side, thats all. It wasn't killing them for food anyway, according to Ridley's canon, the aliens don't eat.

This movie got so many mixed reviews and so much flack but I actually like this one and I enjoyed it a great deal. ✊🏻 Great reaction you guys, keep them coming brothers! ❤
There’s 2 types the NEO MORPH and the XENO MORPH the neo morph was the ist creation David made he was experimenting using the animals on the planet as hosts the neo morph was an early version of the thing that we come to no as the ALIEN the xeno morph he made other creations until he eventually created the alien xenomorph
nah Prometheus is the one. better movie better lure overall. aged gracefully. I didn't get to see it in theaters but went to see covenant in theaters first week that sh*t was traasshh whole crew was incompetent lol no wonder it took David a few days to infiltrate😂
hopefully we get a 3rd movie to close out this modern trilogy but idk don't think Ridley & fox wanna do it
ROMULUS will ignore the events of PROMETHEUS and Covenant. It will take place between ALIEN and ALIENS.
The upcoming series is also ignoring those movies, so now there's speculation that Disney might remove them from canon.......like they did to the Star Wars Universe when they acquired the IP.
@@jamesknight3070they did not remove any movies from Star Wars canon. Oh and by the way they are still selling and reprinting SW Legends materiel.
@@The.Crawling.Chaos. I did not say Star Wars movies, but for clarity they removed everything other than the movies from canon.
An easy example are the Thrawn Novels, of which only the three most recent are canon.
Thank god for that.😂
It's been a pleasure to rewatch this series with you guys!
I do hope you can get to Predator, and then eventually AvP as well.
The problem with these 2 movies is they shrink the alien universe down to one crazy robot instead of a large alien civilization. It is like a completely different universe from the original movies. It also has the modern movie issue of explaining every last detail, leaving all mystery destroyed.
That's not really true. If anything Prometheus makes the universe feel more vast and mysterious and blurs the line between science and religion. The main problem with the movies is Ridley Scott caving to "fans" and making such a drastic change in direction going from Prometheus to Covenant. They should have focused on the engineers and the philsophical questions surrounding that whole story line and kept it as loosely connected to Alien as possible.
But I will say they hardly explain everything, there's plenty of mystery. For example so many people are under the impression that David ends up being the creator of the Xenomorph despite the fact there's a lot of evidence in the films to disprove that. He recreates them at best using designs and technology he got from the engineers and attempts to improve them because he has a god complex and believes he's the superior being.
I see where you’re coming from, but it’s also extremely easy to separate the first Alien films from these prequels
You can watch those originals without needing the prequels after and visa versa
@@ilo2224 I enjoyed them, but to me don't fit the rest of the Alien universe. They are more like their own thing.
I read that Alien: Romulus takes place between Alien and Aliens.
The ship on LV-426 carrying the eggs in Alien can't be David's creation. The engineer in the chair was fossilised. Dallas said it. That ship had been sitting there for hundreds or thousands of years. And that's part of why so many people hate this movie with a passion. Scott is undermining his own 1979 masterpiece with this new David narrative. It doesn't make sense. Also, when you go explore an unknown planet : step 1 you wear protective gear like A HELMET ! But this crew aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. And another thing that doesn't add up to the lore : these protomorphs (or whatever they're called) that grow from spores are much more efficient at infecting a host and becoming a super deadly killing machine than the classic xenomorph life cycle we know. So why bother with adding eggs and fafehuggers. It's a step backward. So many things wrong with this movie.
I have a suggestion for a fim for you to react to: PSYCHO (1960), a classic mystery thriller, which influenced several other films that came later, it has tense and surprising moments, you'll like it
I love the cinematography and set design and David is genuinely such an interesting character..... but I just CANT see these movies, Covenant and Prometheus, as cannon. They just contradict way too much of the established lore, and in a sense genuinely ruin the "alien" aspect of the story. They make the universe feel so much smaller. Its a damn shame.
And this is just personal preference, but design wise I think this is the worst looking Xenomorph. Easily. No biomechanical designs. No distinctive texturing. It feels like a generic b movie zombie thing with a big head.
To be fair its Covenant that starts to break things. If anything Prometheus makes the universe feel bigger and more mysterious and adds a layer of philosophy to it all without breaking any canon. They should have continued with that story and not caved to fans who wanted a generic alien movie, it should focus on the engineers and be very loosely connected to alien.
I personally don't consider Covenant canon either (mostly because the film is just bad and wasted potential) but at the same time it doesn't really break any lore. By the end of the movie there's zero explanation of how eggs David is supposed to have created end up on the original space jockey ship. Without a third movie the only explanation is he didn't create those eggs, the engineers did, he was just tampering with their designs during the events of Covenant. He has a god complex and thinks he could improve them but he never actually created anything the engineers hadn't already.
So in the end it really doesn't break anything. And when it comes to the original alien the Engineers were transporting the eggs, its not a crazy to assume they created them especially given the biomechanical look matches the design of their ships and I don't think it ruins the origin of the Xenomorph at all given it not only makes sense, but the Engineers are incredibly advanced, mysterious and god-like figures in the first place. Exploring that mystery is what makes the plot of Prometheus so compelling to begin with. If they had cut the scenes with the dumb scientists and kept all the deleted engineer scenes the movie would be excellent. Covenant is unredeemable though, cheap shock horror.
@@EmpyreanDreamer
"If anything Prometheus makes the universe feel bigger and more mysterious and adds a layer of philosophy to it all without breaking any canon. "
HARD disagree. The movie absolutely makes the universe feel infinitely smaller and absolutely breaks canon. In the original film we are introduced to the remains of the space jockey and it sinks in just how small and irrelevant humanity is in the greater universe. That there is this greater conflict, potentially thousands of years old at this point, and these civilizations have zero connection to us and dont even acknowledge we exist.
Then Prometheus decided, no actually, the space jockeys made humanity, and humanity is also directly tied to the creation of the xenomorph as well. Not only that, instead of being a cool elephantine creature, the Space Jockey is instead just a big albino human. Its such a dumb decision to just ruin the lore like that.
And it absolutely destroys canon, on account of the space jockey suddenly being a third of its size and being armor instead of bones. It was VERY CLEAR in the first film it was a skeleton.
The philosophical element is half baked, at best, and completely undermined at worst. I get that its supposed to be an anti-religion, anti-theist message, but when you have the space jockeys LITERALLY being humanity's creator, it completely defeats the point.
"They should have continued with that story and not caved to fans who wanted a generic alien movie, it should focus on the engineers and be very loosely connected to alien."
This is a terrible idea and it ruins the mystery of the space jockey, another reason why Prometheus sucks dog water. Its the ALIEN franchise, not the Space Jockey franchise. They were always meant to be an enigma and trying to explore them more absolutely hurt the lore.
" its not a crazy to assume they created them especially given the biomechanical look matches the design of their ships"
In expanded media, its been shown that xenomorphs are naturally evolved and have a homeworld. And this is much more in line with the anti-theist message and just much more compelling narratively then them just being constructs. This lore has been established and yet Prometheus rejected it for something objectively worse.
I know people have their gripes about these movies but dayum Michael Fassbender really made me love these. Really amazing!! 👌 just insane!
Super hype for avp its another interesting one! Cant wait for the reactions!
Prometheus released in 2012 and takes place in (2089 and 2093) as for Covenant released in 2017 and takes place in (2104) which Alien released in 1979 but takes place in the year (2127) the Newer 2000's movies technology doesn't make any sense to the Prometheus (2089) technology that it completely destroys that movie itself just by show it, I guess Riley Scott though he could do the George Lucus Star Wars switch and that's why the movies are the worse of the franchise. At least Star Wars did show holograms in The Empire Strikes Back movie which made the Phantom of the Menace link up with tech, but Alien didn't do any of that. Aliens Ripley wakes up after being saved in the year (2184) which means Bishop would be a super Android and not a slow-moving dumb robot as he shows in movie plus the Technology on LV426 and everything else would have been so much more complex and better technology than what's in the movie, just some of the Reasons why this timeline doesn't work with trying to make movies about what happen before Alien nothing lines up or makes any sense, No Logic! given Weyland-Yutani Corporation would use and have the best newest technology. 👎👎💩
🤡
I love David lol. Fassbender made the movie for me
A few things. Alien Awakening was to be the third in the prequel trilogy. Also, David tinkered with the xenomorph biology, but did not create them. And third, Alien Romulus takes place between alien and aliens, and is not a direct sequel or prequel to anything as far as we’ve been told.
I thought that making the entire lore of the aliens "david made them" was reductive and a terrible creative choice
Yeah, that was a real head scratcher.
that’s not what the movie did. david is trying to recreate them and make them even better with his experiments. in prometheus and covenant there are multiple points of evidence showing they already existed, and david’s god complex pushes him to try to recreate them and control them with his need to create
All their dirty laundry in the background is hilarious. If I made a reaction video right now, it’d be the same.
For me, of the 6 movies, easily the most interesting movie and entertaining. Brutal but beautiful.
"David is not a good guy"
Well it's a matter of perspective
Alien Romulus has nothing to do with covenant or David. Totally stand alone movie.
ROMULAS it nothing to do with the alien saga or Prometheus and covenant it’s separate it’s a reboot of the original alien but these 2 films are completly unfinished as alien covenant 2 has been SCRAPPED SHELVED, ROMULAS is completly on its OWN separate nothing to do with any other alien film
the Alien tricking people onto it's planet with John Denver Music got you a subscribe. Best Alien movie reaction line ever!
The only redeeming quality of this movie for me is Michael Fassbender He was chef’s kiss ❤. I really hate this movie for what they did to Elizabeth, the f**king disrespect to her & Noomi Rapace.
You should watch Species 1 and 2, has another creature designed by Geiger.
Once again, the viral marketing campaign & the prologue short that was released online were the shining stars in the release of Alien: Covenant. Whilst I don’t think it’s a bad film, I do find the actions of the crew questionable.
It’s such a shame that the prequel trilogy has been left incomplete. For example, we can only assume that David is responsible for the derelict craft the crew of the Nostromo find in the original Alien film. Did he further engineer the xenomorph, giving it the biomechanical look we’ve become accustomed to? Who’s the engineer the crew of the Nostromo find? If David is responsible for the derelict on LV-426 how did he manage to create so many eggs; as we can only assume he created a Queen. The list of possible questions goes on & on.
Fun Fact: The opera Das Rhinegold; which David listens to, possibly influenced LOTR.
J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novels The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954) share elements with Der Ring des Nibelungen, but Tolkien himself denied that he had been inspired by Wagner's work, saying that "Both rings were round, and there the resemblance ceases." In spite of Tolkien's protestation, there are various similarities in addition to annularity: a ring of power which curses its bearer; a powerful wanderer in a large hat carrying a spear (Wotan) or staff (Gandalf the Grey); magical invisibility; the reforging of a powerful sword; a riddle contest; Sméagol's murder of his cousin Deagol for possession of the ring and Fafner's murder of his brother Fasolt for the same reason; the slaying of a powerful gold-hoarding dragon; to name but a few. Tolkien may have drawn, albeit partially, upon common source material, including the Völsunga saga and the Poetic Edda. The crucial element of the storyline, that the Ring is evil, and will work of itself to the undoing of its possessor, is common to both, as is the lust for world domination connected with its power, and that the Ring has been stolen (Wagner) or captured (Tolkien) from its rightful owner(s).
There was supposed to be a alien covenant 2, but they shelved it scrapped it it’s not going to be made it was supposed to pick up after covenant pick with daniels the colonists and David and the aliens and maybe tennesse but these 2 films are LEFT UNFINISHED will never be completed and finalised the next alien film has nothing to do with Prometheus or covenant or the alien saga it’s a reboot of ALIEN
Watching this movie alone was true horror. Watching it again made me really like it. Good sense for the older movies, the character acting. And it made Prometheus even bigger, more important. I enjoy the reactions very much, you rock
One of my favorite parts of the movie was the musical score.
I really liked that “whoo-whoo” motif that they used. It sounds like either woodwind synths or some other industrial effect. It plays out almost all the time in some form or other. The Med Bey sequence being a good prime example. I also really like those electronic beats in the sounds too. Has a really sick bass tone that I never get sick of. Of course, it’s always nice hearing Jerry Goldsmith’s themes from the first film making a few appearances as well. Sounds just as triumphant and romantic as it did long ago.
Really love the music of these films!
The haunting score was perfect for a cosmic horror...
I love it too. That sound you’re talking about that gets going in the beginning when everything starts going to shit is so eerie. It almost sounds like a ghostly alarm. It really made it feel like a nightmare.
@@jonathanmoore9661 I honestly kind of wished I knew how Jed Kurzel made that sound effect. It’s either some kind of synths or a woodwind effect. Not too sure but I’ve always loved that sound. It’s rather jarring and suspenseful.
This was a good movie that was Prometheus but I look at them as a Multiverse style movies and alien and aliens are in one universe. Prometheus and Covenant are in another, Aliens versus Predator in Aliens versus Predator Requiem are in another, predator and Predator 2 are probably in another universe predators and the Predator are in Another Universe, praise in the first Predator universe predator and Predator 2 Alien 3 is a nightmare and Ali Resurrection is a wild ass dream of somebody's, something that should be in a comic book . I love all the movies though, just for the content and the way they all give me nightmares.
53:12 drop the OF link. 😋
I just found out that there is one Alien comic series indicating that David not only survived long after his final movie appearance (Alien: Covenant) but that he became an android messiah.
It's such a bummer that the two latest movies are SO plagued by "dumb characters". I feel like these would be absolute classics if it weren't for that.
Soo who’s really bad here if we created David and David created the zenmorphs and the engineers created us? 😂honestly it’s all the engineers fault, one must create to destroy or is it one must destroy to create? A lot to think about 🤔
"kinda looks like David' dude its THE SAME ACTOR
Now and just wait for the next film titled: ALIEN: ROMULUS.
These two movies (Prometheus and Covenant) are like Mad max Furiosa. Not that they are bad movies, but are completely off the trilogy they are BASED on.
yeahhhh Predator and AVP/AVP2 would be super fun
I'm sure people have already commented this but one major clue that David is Walter is that they are stapling his face, Walter would have just healed unlike David who cannot.
You’ll want to watch aliens vs predator, it actually ties in with Prometheus and covenant
Killing off Shaw (best character alongside David in these 2 entries) feels like a slapt to the face. Dont know what they were thinking when they decided that.
I'm so glad Brent Spiner was in this reprising his roles as Data and Lore, huehuehue.
I hated that most of the characters were morons. Especially the idiot that blew up the shuttle! She locks up her colleague for fear of infection, even though SHE was sprayed in the face with blood, then proceeds to shoot the gas tanks. Man I hated her.
But then the captain sticking his face into an egg! OMG
Also, not a fan of the killer android story, so David had to go.
I’m with you. David…ugh. Crew…idiots. No likable characters which kills the movie.
I still remember how pissed I was at this ending because I didn’t see it coming my dad thought my frustration was hilarious 😅😑
Great editing by the way!..✌️❤️❤️
The Captain should have killed David the moment the laser from his weapon pointed at him.
Aliens has a way of killing off beloved characters
I personally disliked Prometheus when it was released. I felt it was too far away from the xenomorphs that we knew and didn't appreciate the direction. That was until covenant was released. After I watched covenant for the first time it made me go back to watch prometheus immediately. It made me fall in love with direction that was taken when some of the dots were joined together.
Aliens is hands down still my favourite but between alien, prometheus and covenant it's hard to put a second place.
Keep in mind the lore in predator and avp (franchise) does not add up now prometheus and covenant explains the xenomorph origin story. I'm not going to explain how and why so you don't get spoilers but you'll see by the timeline of events if/when you get to watch them.
Would have been better if they had infection control... spacesuits on an alien planet, strict quarantine if signs of infection... BUT... the alien blasted through the infection controls. Also the crew was pathetically inept. Why have a second-in-command of the mission that wasn't confident and extremely competent. Visually it was amazing of course for a Ridley Scott film. The themes of creation and meeting your maker are fascinating. Thanks guys, I really enjoy your reactions.
Alien Romulus Teaser Trailer!! Please React to it!!
i still dont get why they killed off James Franco right off the bat i should probably google it
There is a small clip of Shaw and David, after the events of Prometheus, Shaw got terribly sick and David did everything to save her but she didn’t make it, so after that David played god with her eggs in her ovaries to create the perfect Alien
Good reaction. The CGI, most notably in the 3rd act, and the ridiculous method in killing the alen were my primary issues with this film. Other than that, a very enjoyable watch. I particularly liked the interactions between David and Walter.
Now that you've reacted to all these Alien movies, I think it's time you reacted to Sigorney Weaver in a comedy alien space movie called Galaxy Quest. Very good movie with a great cast.
cant wait to wrap this story up in like 5 or 6 years after disney flops on woke alien lol

The first AvP movie is ok it gets a lot of hate but it's fun
Not so much the second one it's very poor one of the reasons is you can't see bugger all
Anyway good show guys keep em coming
Are you thinking of doing the predator series some of those are really good 👍
Or how about the resident evil films they get some hate as well but I find them fun if nothing else 👍
Definitely going to get into Predator! Not sure on Resident Evil yet. I know we all have some knowledge about Resident Evil from the games. Could be a fun watch. I've seen a few of the films already -Corey
David loved Shaw only because her mutated eggs he harvested from her ovaries allowed him to create the face huggers and eggs for the Xenomorphs, allowing him to achieve his God tier status
If you want more Alien IP while you wait for Romulus, check out the 40th Anniversary Alien Anthology. It's a handful of short films that add to the lore. All together, I don't even think it's an hour long, but it's pretty damn cool. Especially because each part of the anthology was directed by upcoming directors who were all mega fans of the franchise
yes! these are all so well done. please react to them.
READ THE COMICS THEY PICK UP AFTER ..THEY CREATED THE MYTHOS THAT THESE CRAPPY PREQUELS RETCONNED HORRIBLY
@@ilikeknives1000 I like this lore rather than the aliens just being a buncha bugs. Cameron's movie was great, but it didn't make the concept of the Alien better.
Lets fken goooo💪🏽😊
David is like a serial killer 😂 no emotion and no empathy idk why but reminds me of Jeffrey dahmer experimentation on dead bodies
Dahmer didn't experiment on the dead, really. He was obsessed with making a living zombie. Once they passed he came up with ways of disposing of them, but he did not experiment on them to achieve means to any end.
8:32 "Don't die in my video!"
10:35 "He just got Among Us'ed."
I don't mind this film it got mixed reviews back then.
Theres a youtube up where a school play reacteated alien, sigourney weaver attended it , defo worth a watch even if not on the channel !
If Romulus is about building Rom, then David would definitly burn it down.
Guys dont forget to watch on youtube alien covenant prologue two of them if you wonder what happend to elizabeth shaw.
Juicy Smooyé!!! Didn’t know he was in this movie. 😀👍🏾
So glad you guys didn't stop at Aliens II. I think its worth it to go the full journey. Thank you!
I still contend that David did NOT create the Xenomorph. He created a convergent strain based on the inherent properties of the Black Liquid...the Xenomorph being the ultimate expression of the Black Liquid's dna jiggery pokery, and that's why his creatures are different.
