Like a good scp

Vickers wanted the mission to go south, though not to be an epic fail with everyone dead. She was also responsible for picking the team, as in making sure everybody was the best available for the job, but at the same time unprofessional in specific areas, like unsocial, taking unnessessary risks, aggressive, problems with authority, stuff like that. Not the best of the best of THE BEST. All that to sabotage the maybe best outcome of the mission, just to let the big boss, her father, fail. This detail was in the script, but cut out reworked, probably never shot, I don't remember what exactly happend. But it's this 1 thing that was missing in the movie that was realy important to explain why people behaved the way they did. Though it's not in the movie, to me it's still canon, I'll make an exception, this kinda saves the movie, and I do like "Prometheus". The sequel, on the other hand, is steaming-hot dogshit, story & characters are awfull, nothing can save this production. But I do understand there was A LOT of studio-interference, so it's not Scott's fault alone.

I liked Covenant as a film in its own right but not as a part of the Alien universe; Shaw’s treatment is awful and the implications concerning xenomorph origin simply don’t work in the wider universe.

Agreed on the first movie, they should've left that important detail in, since a lot of the criticism was heaped on the irrational and unprofessional behavior of the scientists. If looked at with the missing part in mind, it suddenly does make sense. The second move INDEED was a big pile of 🔥🔥🔥 💩💩💩. Not to mention their mistreatment of the Xenomorph origins. As long as current Disney has it's claws in that franchise, there will be no good movie. Sad but true, since Disney seems to prioritize "other" things over good writing and talent.

@@koppsr To be fair, David did NOT create the xenomorphs we know from the other movies, he only experimented with real xenonorph-material he found, several eggs, facehuggers & 1 full grown xenomorph, if I remember right. So he recreated some creatures, yes, but he didn't create this species. Some of that is kinda explained in the book/audiobook, and probably in that David-Diary. The movie though makes this not very clear, Mystery-Box shit. I'm pretty sure the xenos were only included at the end of the production, to make it more ALIEN-ish, and lots of story/worldbuilding was cut, so the changes would make sense. Which they didn't. The characters are just the worst, wtf were they smoking. Especialy that one security-guy, sniffing on fungus or whatever, let's see what happens. I wonder how the original script was structured, with those characters & story...

I enjoy "Prometheus," and appreciate your lore deep dives!

We need the prequel stories to be completed. I'm in the minority I know, but I'd like to know what happens next for David. How did the juggernaut end up on lv 426?

Given that there is only 30 years or so from Prometheus to alien And that the jockey was fossilized, i think its save to assume that the ship on LV 426 is already there at the time of the doomed Prometheus mission. I think the engineers found the alien xx121 and used the harvested face huggers to create the black goo

Thank you for all your hard work as always. Its appreciated. Makes me want to watch all the movies again

My questions is even if Dr. Shaw had the skills and know how to put David back together so he could murder her is why. That's the main thing that ruins the end of Prometheus and Aliens Covenant for me.

Another well produced video! You made Prometheus sound interesting :D I look forward to the next long form video.

This was amazingly well done. The green hues are super spooky. I love all things Alien and loved Prometheus. I thank you. 💙

AT, what do you think of the idea that the xenomorph can inherit the memories of it's host? Watching Ripley's escape in Alien, it struck me that the Xeno anticipated events in a way that required knowledge that it could most likely only get from Kane's memories. It blocked Ripley's escape into the shuttle without pursuing her, likely to get her to return and turn of the self-destruct. When she failed to do so, it went into the shuttle and awaited Ripley's arrival in order to escape with her. And it would also explain how it seemed to know it's way around the Nostromo so well...

Just had this pop up for me. Glad your still doing videos man. Thanks for the upload

I really like Prometheus. It’s one of my favourites. The beginning of the film in Scotland always makes my mind race thinking of the similarities in ancient cultures like pyramid structures etc.

Awesome, great format! I really enjoyed it

Well… today i must say this (didn‘t had time before); I see your precise work for years, and MUST say: From ALL those „YT-Aliens“ that claim 2 know it all related to Sir Scott‘s legendary Movie-Story… YOUR Works, are truely the BEST! This is never EVER „fishing for compliments“, NOPE. I am an 68 german… and clearly remember when i run to our cinema, to see the Premiere of this new „SiFi Horror Movie“.

1NOV2023, 16:17 Central Time, 21:17 GMT You know, I just had a thought about these Weyland-Yutani Notes, following thus -- At the end of each publication to this channel, you could add a segment from Morse, last survivor of Fury 161, or someone allied with him that would attempt to decrypt the redacted information of each relevant segment, or adding material previously not included in the Weyland-Yutani release. For instance, a section could be added, entitled "deleted scenes" for obfuscation of Weyland-Yutani cryptotechnicians and detailing further conversation between David 8 and the lone surviving Engineer.

I had just finished, revisiting your treasure vault of videos, and then this newest addition was right on time, YoungFella 🤙😉 Great Production’s - As Always🙄❣️🤣😂 Love the Work, Matey - Please keep Goin’ 🙏😊

Love how Alan Dean Foster added (unless it's in the script but not shot) a broken urn to the novelization of Alien. Makes me wonder if the Prometheus writers read it.

Hated it on release day, But since then ive fallen in love with it. I really wish we could have seen what Ridley had planned for Paradise Lost instead of the Aliens remake we got with Covenant.

I’ll never get over it honestly. Could have been an epic trilogy.

Fantastic video, my only (minor) gripe is the redacted sections. The static is a bit off putting, perhaps an AI generated voice saying “redacted” a few times would make for a less jarring transition. Just a thought

God I love your work in every way...superb quality.. even your voice works perfect.. Bob Ross of the Aliens world

Damn, this video is as entertaining as the movie. What a companion piece. This is top-tier editing.

A fine halloween treat, thanks AT!

Have you looked at the Alien RPG written by Andrew EC Gaska? He worked on the video game Alien: Fireteam Elite, and is a great author! His box set adventure Chariot of the Gods is a great tie-in to the Prometheus and Covenant movies, and the whole thing is a fantastic journey into the world of Alien. They are well worth picking up, even if you don’t ever play the game, but just use the resource material. 😊

I’m glad you gave us captions because the first redacted static noise exploded my ear drums. 👂🩸

I've always wanted to see an Alien universe animated series! Maybe set in the 57 years between the Nostromo events and Hadley's hope. I like the animated format, because you can be a bit more experimental and show things that are hard to express in regular film or series. Themes that you could explore here would be; the company and how it works, who sent the Nostromo to the derelict, Ripley's drift through the core systems, (and did Ash have something to do with it?) the Engineer's and the derelict craft as flashbacks, (in Giger's original form hopefully) how the derelict signal was discovered, Hadley's hope events and more...If done well I really think it could be exciting! (think Clone Wars but with a different style suited to the Alien universe)

Happy Dias de los Muertos Alien Theory. Great video as always. 😎😉🫡

Really awesome video, great as always, goose approved, only problem is the static destroying my ears every so often lol

When you think of how good most of the actors in Prometheus were, it's really going some to have made them so damn unmemorable.

Keep going brother

This is awesome

love it

Bravo 🎉

After watching this video, I just realized that the Black Goo and Urns are just like the Face Hugger and Egg. Great video.

Regarding the juggernaut and the events of Prometheus leading to its destruction… for such a “technologically advanced species”, I find it surprising the engineer onboard wasn’t able to stop, shoot down, avoid, raise shields, or deploy countermeasures to evade the Prometheus’s kamikaze attack and prevent its ship from being downed.

I had a gut feeling i would see a video drop of alien theory on hollloween this year.

To alien theory: Will you please do a deeper dive video on whether the alien universe and the predator universe should stay separate or have been brought together like it already has. My opinion is that they should stay separate and the content/mythology within seems to be stronger when it is self contained, but this is just my own opinion. The narratives within the universes are different. They have combined Freddy and Jason together, Godzilla and Kong, Batman Superman etc. with varying results. This idea started with the dark horse comics and predator 2. Would be an interesting video discussing the separate themes and the intermingling of them. Your thoughts. Thank you and thank you for all the content.

Deep questions to be sure

Definitely liking that Ravel and Janek had their actor's first names. I know it says 'Iris" for Janek, but him saying Idris is all the confirmation I needed

The least realistic aspect of all this is that Oxford would offer a degree in a subject as lowbrow as Business Management.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻🎃🤡🥸👽👹🦹🐈‍⬛🦇

And hey that's Lisa Arryn from GOT. GREAT ACTRESS. love how the engineer threw her across the room like a rag doll. Crazy!!!

How was Pilot/Navigator Benedict Ravel on this mission when he died saving the sun? Clones? Bless his soul.

I don't see why she feels alone, our world is teaming with life. We might explore the cosmos and find that all our answers were here all along.

Okay, that redacted sound is cursed 😂

I always have to laugh about the Space Jockey/Engineers bait and switch that Ridley Scott tried to play on us. Clearly the Space Jockey was twice the size at least of how the Engineers are portrayed in Prometheus, but nice effort!

I want the engineers to go find david and battle him and his hellish creations. They do need that 3rd film!!

HEADSET WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Prometheus. I love the theory that 2000 years ago, humans crucified the engineer taught Jesus and that deemed humans as being fit for extermination. And it’s on Christmas

They should have countiued the story and explore more of the planet they could find a map to find Xenomorphs homeworld and they could explore the planet like in the comics i hate how Covenant ignored everything Prometheus and the comics built for it

I noticed you called the captain “Idris Yankek”, instead of “Iris” as the text shown. Not sure if this was just a text error or perhaps a spoken error as the actors real name is “Idris” :)

❤❤❤

I thought in canon the WY merger had not occurred yet?

"Charles Holloway, 2058 - 2093: DOUCHE." "Captain Iris (Idris...?) Janek, 2051-2093: SEXY MOTHERFUCKER."

I believe there is a missing piece that explains some of the seemingly odd circumstances. Remember how a big plot point is how humans made robots that look like humans? The engineer, imo, wasn't in stasis for millennium. It was a robot built in the likeness of the engineers. Probably the same with the jockey. Prometheus was supposed to be the start of the reveal that Alien Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence are one and the same.

I just finished the audio book for Alien Phalanx and the guy from Perfect Strangers was the voice over narrator he did ok. Although I have a good reason to believe AT would have made a great difference

The static is perhaps a tad too strong. Otherwise great.

lol Prometheus isn't canonical.

- There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing

Why did the Engineers leave the star map in the first place? Was it an invitation? The last engineer seemed to despise humanity. Why did they want them to eventually visit?

The hate for this film is insane.. it was beautifully shot, the acting was great and yeah, I wish the original script/screenplay was used, but even still.. it was so good to me.

We need a video on Weyland One that answer why, if the med pod was in Vicker's room, was it not set for female biology.
