Alien, Alien Isolation and Aliens is a great trilogy. In my opinion I’d even throw Alien 3 in there and make a great quadrilogy.

@@-.-.11 and don't forget the earth war saga by dark horse.

Yes it is one of the best games for tension I have ever play (still have it). Shame they never followed it up.

and they failed

@@Dead_Hitori how

I mean, they are imperfect copies of the real thing.

they looked too dark i mean you could hardly see any biomechanical detail on them.

@@RaikenXion Because they were never meant to be biomechanical anymore since they had been gene-spliced and hybridized with human DNA. They became more organic and that's why they looked that way.

@@multiverseoftimelessness4391 Well i don't know bout that cause the underwater shots of Xenos do show some biomechanical detail, and those facehuggers that impregnated those kidnapped humans were just normal like before. I just think at end of the day these particular Xenomorphs look the way they do because of the different quality of practical effects and especially camera quality used; and you can clearly see. Alien Resurrection is filmed in a more smudgy kind of quality to that of Scott and Cameron's Alien films, even Fincher's Alien 3 has a more clearer film quality and that film was quite dark in it's lighting.

i liked the newborn it seems interesting and would be cool to see ripley and a squad with the newborn go into a hive of xenos and start just ripping apart the xenos

@Tyler Clark The Alien has heat sensors like a rattlesnake.

I always assumed that too

Actually if we were to accept the expanded canon (assuming it wasn't blown out of the goddamn airlock) then if there is a lack of a queen, a drone may undergo a hormonal change and turn into a female, thus growing to become a queen. Much like some frog species here in eart.

@@thekraken1909 Or they're female right off the bat. Like most ants/ bees are female. Since in the expanded lore, any warrior or drone has the capability to become a queen.

@@matthewparker1655 it’s weird cause other lore contradicts this by giving the xenomorphs male pronouns, even from their point if few. I’ve always seem them as mostly androgynous creatures barring the queen and some variants anyhow.

In the AVP game the alien you play as is female and eventually becomes a queen

I would be okay with a…resurrection of the franchise, but only if the developers made a….covenant to be faithful to the first two.

I feel like a similar thing could be said about the Predator movies

That's honestly most of the successful franchise, we compared Alien, Terminator and Predator here cuz they're all similar in terms of universe but Star Wars also kindof suffered that and I'm too tired to think about other examples but I'm sure there is

The difference between terminator and Alien is that the first 2 terminator movies had the same director resulting in both being totally consistent and actually both being action movies, while Alien and Aliens had 2 different directors with the second one being a completely different genre dumbing down and redesigning the Xenomorphs. Aliens is great and all but Cameron did start the path of the series ruining the xenomorphs. Like Cameron even stated that the design change in the head was made not for any lore reasons but to make them look more cool which is entirely the opposite of what the xenomorph should be. The Alien franchise is better compared to the resident evil games with re 1-0 being Alien and RE4 being Aliens and goes downhill for a while until Alien Isolation and RE7.

“I see what you did there.” *insert pointing meme*

I always thought that Alien actually has eyes but they're just not visible. Idk. Like that they're on each side of it's skull but kind of comouflaged with the rest of the skin so they aren't visible. :D

You just made me realize that after having like 8 movies of Aliens not once had any of them had an autopsy scene done on the adult xeno (like in most other sci-fi alien movies).

@@ArcadeMusicTribute - Interesting. My thinking was, the whole long dong-head was like some big compound eye.

@@TalentCaldwell - You'd think it would've happened in Resurrection if anything. But the whole acid-for-blood thing could make it a bit of a problem. Have they ever been n a position to do it?

@@FTZPLTC Well they performed an autopsy on the face hugger in the first movie (which is how they learned of the acid blood). And they also did a digital scan of the Engineer head in Prometheus. Other than that they’ve all been too busy killing them and getting killed by them to examine.

THIS exactly. I understand the gripe of the cross breeding but THAT is what makes it the perfect organism. The fact that one egg can create a creature that takes on the absolute strongest traits of the host. It's not that the exact version of the alien in the first film is the perfect organism it's the fact that no matter what or where the alien will always take on the strongest and most dangerous traits of that environment.

@@rahmodin9209 the Xeno will always rule! 😂

They should make a comic where a Xenomorph hive is invaded by doom’s Hell.

@@juanjoyaborja.3054 omg! Imagine that!!!! Id like to see that!

It's how they adapt to their environment

Ayo! I didn’t expect to see you here! Love the content man!

*It finds itself in Drones don't have a sex/gender. Only the queen is a she.

@@igorivanov299 Lets be real Does it matter?

@@historicflame972 Yes it's important to be accurate. A lackadaisical approach is never ideal.

@@igorivanov299 how does that make any sense? If a female exists then the other aliens must be “male” then, otherwise how a female is a female and not just a thing that lays eggs?

@@igorivanov299 Then lets be real, Aliens is not a direct sequel to Alien, its a soft reboot. Ridley Scott never considered it as a sequel as evident from his Prometheus and Covenant. And considering that...Ash called it Kane's son so....

Getting mass downvoted on Reddit is tantamount to being irrefutably proven right at this point. So many of its users just live in their own private universe.

the point of mandibles is to be like lips to not let the mouth dry out but since they keep getting wider but not shutting correctly they stop being useful

@@antpope6222 spoilers regarding the predator design if you haven't seen prey............ I liked the blend of the the physical suit and the CGI face. It made the character feel real and the face closed nicely. I hated the eyes though.

@@ferniefabian5503 predator eyes kinda have to be angry and not to visible to

@@antpope6222 yeah this predator had huge eyes and his face didn't even get enough screen time to warrant changing the design so much. I suppose you can have it all. Oh well, great movie nonetheless

Well said brother

a logical extrapolation is the opposite of what Alien was and a mistake. Nothing was logical about the alien. It was...alien lol Making them termites is what everyone loves? A giger direction would have had those eggs not being eggs, but organic vessels, in line with the bio organic motif. Bugs...are you kidding?

@@Nerdmcloser Its one thing if you just don’t like the change but if you can’t see why it’s good (not my words, but the words of Giger, Ridley, and O’Bannon) then you’re not knowledgeable enough in the medium yet

Ehhhhhh he said the same thing about his changes to Blade Runner, so I have trouble believing that.

@@worldscoolestperson7672 so you're telling me that if the alien infected, say, Jones the cat, that it would look and act the exact same way it does in the first movie? Right down to having a human skull? It's not even Scott alone who said this. The various comic books that were released around the time of the second movie also went into detail about this. I understand in this video he's going by the movies alone but this idea has been around for like ever. I mean the whole point is that the alien imprints off of its host. And again, this makes sense to me. It uses the host to incubate. And think about this, depending on the environment the alien may need certain traits from the Host in order to survive. That's what makes it the perfect organism. It's completely adaptable. I can see where he's coming from with his argument regarding the predalien becoming a queen and then creating this weird breeding cycle. But I don't really see a problem with the concept otherwise.

Same My headcanon is that the eggs are former lifeforms that have been morphed eiher by whatever material (black goo perhaps?) was in use by the Jockeys or by the Xenos themselves via the tail rape injection we saw in the first film. Think about it, you cleanse a planet in a way that automatically refills your ammo supply so that you may do it all over again as many times as you like! Its brilliant!

The egg morphing plays into the queen easily though. Xenos morph people into eggs to get a few xenos then they make an egg with a queen facehugger to have a queen. Basically they create the eggs to build up the start of a nest to protect the queen when she comes, once she does they focus on collecting hosts for the eggs she produces more efficiently.

@@IaMaPh1991 That is painfully blatant in the original movie. The cut eggmorphing scene was supposed to be answer to Lambert's question back on the Derelict. "Where's the rest of the crew?"

"Parazitoid wast but somehow even more disturbing"is definitly better then "writers don´t know how eusocial organism works" of first sequel. Also work better for what metaphoricly xenomorphs stands for.

@@-.-.11 yeah idk why some people seems to think it’s one way or the other when both can perfectly co-exist

I like that idea myself.

@@anubusxMr. Ditkovich, how you doing?

@@raymonddarhk20 Worried about the future.

@@anubusxyou might get the perfect specimen.

@@anubusxyou might get the perfect specimen.

My head cannon was something similar. It didn't matter if the queen was hosted from a human or dog etc, they would always produce regular eggs. The DNA from the queen's host wouldn't infect or alter the eggs.

I think that as cool as the scene was, the sentry gun sequence (in the Director's Cut) of Aliens ruins the sense of cunning that the Alien had in the original film. It makes some sense later on in the film when they are climbing their way through the ceiling shafts to ambush Ripley & Co, and then by the time they attack they are all coming from different directions in the room, showing a level of tactics and strategy to their attack. But them mindlessly running in and dying to the sentry guns just shows how meaningless they think their lives are, which is in stark contrast to Ash's dialogue describing the Xenomorph as a "Survivor". Even though I adore Aliens, and I think as cinematic experiences go it remains a masterpiece of horror and thriller, there are indeed aspects of the film that do not connect very well with the original, despite its best efforts to stay grounded in the same universe and provide relative continuity.

The og alien was only threatening because the setting was in space, hundreds of light years away from earth with no hope of any rescue, the characters were all just regular people with no weapons or combat experience and they had a sleeper agent android sent by the very company they work for to ensure the capture of the alien, by ANY means necessary. The feeling of loneliness, hopelessness and despair is aleast 50 percent of what made the first movie so scary, the other 50 percent being the xeno itself. If the crew were battle hardened marines the xenomorph would be destroyed in no time. Hell, that's probably why the company decided to use unarmed space truckers instead of marines to retrieve the creature. This means that turning them into hive mind bugs is the only way you could've made them more threatening in a more "familiar" setting like in Aliens. This is why I am somewhat more biased towards the Predator as my favorite movie monster. It's not a dumb monster who eats humans. Instead it's smarter, stronger and more agile than humans. It's so superior to humans that it purposefully nerfs itself for the sheer fun of it. The Predator's society is probably so advanced that death is completely meaningless to them. They care more about the sheer thrill of the hunt and the honour than living a safe and stable life. It's a cool ass concept and it's such a shame that the Predator seems to play second fiddle to the Alien these days.

Personally, I believe the perfect organism would have no need for physical adaptation, as It's already best suited to all environments.

Thats right. Just cater to the lowest common demoninator. OOOO big monster! BIgger than the other one! cool! OO robot hit mosnter cool!

I wish more Alien pursuits would acknowledge that fact. You can watch interviews and listen to the commentary that talk about the insect influence.

It makes zero sense. What happened to the skull and hollow eyes? Not to mention Ridley scott established back in 79 in interviews that you are supposed to understand that the Xeno is dying by the end of Alien. Its lifespan is short.

Well maybe it wasn’t dying and was beginning to molt into the ridged headed Alien. And as for the skull, my theory is that is shifts as the alien grows and that the humanoid skull contorts into a Xenomoprh skull like the one we see in Predator 2 in the trophy room

And a Train for another movie too. Might of been species too. But he did this Ugly Train thing.

Well if they never made more predator movies after 2 then we never would’ve gotten Prey, which is easily the second best predator movie.

Aliens is shit ruined the franchise Fuck off with your dumbed down alien made to be cannon fodder shit.

Your last sentence is confusing. Your saying it IS and ISN’T called the same thing.

@@TalentCaldwell oops typo lol

it's not doing too bad for 4 months on hiatus. It's doing better than my last video that's for sure.

@@cordzfx I hope you make videos about the four species movies.

@@cordzfx A lot of people don't seem to talk about Species. It's probably not as popular as the alien and the predator franchises. I've been a Species fan since I was 12 and I watched the first movie with adult supervision, and I watched all 4 movies on Prime Video when they were free. I acknowledge that The Species Franchise has its flaws, but I will always enjoy the classic franchise for what it is even if the movies were low budget. The Lore, the characters along with the hybrid characters will always hold dear to my heart even if they are forgettable at times. My favorite characters were Hybrid Sil and Empath Dan Smithson from The Species movie, Mercenary Preston Lennox and Molecular Biologist Dr. Laura Baker from Species 1 and 2. Astronaut Dennis Gamble and Hybrid Patrick Ross and Sil's clone Eve from Species 2 and Eve's daughter Sara and College student Dean from Species 3. Hollywood should revive the franchise with another sequel without retconning the four movies like a sequel tv series or a Species Sequel Trilogy that is continuing the events after Species 3 and Species: The Awakening. If it were me, I would've called it The 5th Movie Species: Resurrection, The 6th Movie, Species: Reckoning and The 7th Movie, Species: Retaliation. I wish they would revive it and hire people who really love the franchise and people who really care about the lore and the source material and who wants to respect and honor H. R. Giger's vision. But due to our current Political Climate, that's probably unlikely. Regardless, If you're a fan of The Species Movie Franchise, Make this hashtag go viral. #ReviveTheSpeciesFranchise Hey, maybe you can make a Species Theory KZfaq Channel and make all kids of theory videos on how the movies and the characters could've done better and make more What If videos for the franchise and maybe you could make more videos that would add more lore to the hybrids and for the Species Franchise.
