@@woooooooo9061 Spoilers for the book, so don't read if you plan on reading it. Basically there is a Colonial Marines detachment on Hadley's Hope for general colony defense, and a department of WY scientists there as well to "study" the planet while the processors do their work. It's revealed pretty early on that the scientists know about the derelict and they have a whole lab set up in a secret part of the colony along with an escape ship that only they know about. The book covers the infestation and the marines and colonists trying to fight back, which they are able to do with some success until the xenos start using the air ducts to abduct people and get more drones. The end of the book is basically their last stand(right before Newt escapes into the air ducts in the tie in comic book to ALIENS) and the marine captain who has found out about the escape ship is able to get himself, another marine, one of the scientists, and a young girl to the ship and they escape. They never really followed up on it which is kind of a shame.

You think so? I dig Hicks has a character. And Micheal Biehn played him to perfection. Thing is, if he didn’t make it out of the hive. Everything would have still played out the exact same way as it did. He listened to Ripley’s recommendations and did what she suggested. Leaving and nuking the spot. Going over the blueprints and pretty much instructing him and them on what to do. They would still have done everything they went over. Aside from shooting some “bugs”, All he really did was show her how to use the pulse rifle and do some welding. If anyone is the brilliant survivalist it’s Newt.

Thank you for another video. May I just take 1 min of your time and THANK YOU for all the videos you have put up. I work outside and have earbuds and during my work I have gone through all your videos. They are so good and have given me so much joy, working and hearing all the stories. I wish you could actually start to read any books of the alien franchise etc with your voice. I BECAME a fan of the alien franchise because of YOU. Even though I saw the original movies when they came out. Many thanks from Mallorca/Spain.

There is a Dark Horse graphic novel, Newt’s Tale - which details the sequence of events from Newt’s parents face hugger-trip to the colonists last stand, to Newt’s escape & survival, before the Marines arrived. It would make an excellent Rogue One style movie or mini series, if they chose to reboot this entire franchise properly

I loved Amandas’ story, but I don’t want the sequel to detail her story, other than revealing what happened to her. I want a new game, similar mechanics, that does the same thing with Aliens. Whereby, despite your powerful weapons, you feel the need to hide from the creatures more often than engage in combat with them.

She must have been rescued because in the Aliens movie Ripley finds out she was in her 60's when she died, a few years before Ripley was picked up. Theres even a photo of her in the extended directors cut, so Amanda Ripley definitely made it back to Earth.

I love how Ripley was wrong about only to use flamers in the hive. If Vasquez and Drake hadn´t disobeyed those orders, every marine would have died inside. I think this is a good thing for the movie, to show that even badass characters can have flaws.

What do you mean wrong? It was Vasquez and Drake shooting which causing the core to rupture which caused the explosion at the end.

Ripley had just cautioned Gorman about the marines being located beneath the heat exchangers. She was aware that if the creatures had taken refuge there, either for their increased metabolism due to warmth or tactical reasons, disabling the heat exchangers could trigger a dangerous thermonuclear chain reaction with catastrophic consequences. Ripley knew that if part of the cooling system were disabled, it could cause the fusion reactor to overheat and lose control, leading to the later resultant thermonuclear runaway reaction. Breaching the heat exchanger led to the reactor's energy output escalating to a level where it became akin to a hydrogen bomb, with a devastating release of energy and destruction.

A huge amount of work went into the editing here. The multiple cuts synchronising with the narration must have taken ages! It was all totally seamless, you can be very proud of this one AT, thank you.

6:52: As a guy who works in medical billing, I couldn't help but notice the alphanumeric codes used in alongside the descriptions of Gorman's injuries. They're reminiscent of the real-life International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnosis codes typically listed on medical insurance claims to denote the treated condition(s). They don't exactly match to the real ones... the first one translates to the ICD-9 code for a fungal infection and the other two don't match up to any others, but the attempt to include such a detail was a nice touch.

I always thought they'd lost the signal to the derelict because Marlow turned it off in Alien: Isolation, not so much volcanic activity

I do not count "River of Pain" the book as canon. It tries to retcon the Space Jockey into an Engineer and it allows for survivors to make a getaway in a transport ship. Let me brutally clear to everyone here. Newt's Tale, a 90s comic by Dark Horse explained what happened. She was LITERALLY the only survivor. In my opinion, from a writing perspective, River of Pain cheapens the horror of what she went through and tries to marry Prometheus to Aliens.

It bugs me that 'volcanic activity' was used as the reason the derelict stopped transmitting its warning... in Alien, they literally state that the surface "is rock, lava base. Deep cold, well below the line". Not tectonically active.

Man I just love the director’s cut of Aliens, but only after watching the original version of course. The fleshing out of the events is really great. Don’t get me wrong I think the theatrical cut is superior, imagining what happened to the colonists at the same time you’re watching the Marines go through the same thought process is pretty brilliant and establishes a better tone for the story. Great video as always!

From what the work print shows the eggs on the sulaco weren’t originally in the plans the studio had them built and added in the reshoots

This was a pretty cool breakdown. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The dialogue from the characters even sounded in-character to the people involved. I always hated that stupid egg explanation of Alien 3. It was pretty damn clear Ripley torched damn near all the eggs. The queen would not have had the extra time or hands to carry the damned things. A much, MUCH easier solution would have been to explain that in an emergency nest evacuation, that Facehuggers would simply attach the Queen Herself. It could have even been argued simply that she had a way to feed nutrition to the Facehuggers attached to her. Then, shortly before she attacked Bishop, that the Facehuggers had simply detached and hidden themselves aboard the ship.

@stevonbass

Жыл бұрын

There is evidence of this at the end of Aliens, after the credits. You can faintly hear the skittering of Facehugger legs across the deck. It can be presumed that the Queen grabbed a couple of Facehuggers to assist her in capturing the creatures that destroyed her hive. When the Queen clambered onto the Dropship's undercarriage, she may have decided a new hive was needed and "commanded" these Facehuggers to hide, then attack when things were clear. After sensing the death of the Queen, they kept a low profile until things got quiet, then followed the human scent to the hyper-sleep chambers. If you just ignore the egg and assume they were a couple of carry-ons, its a fairly smooth start to the movie.
