Saw your Alien comments and questions. And replied to some: https://youtu.be/m31-KDCmJg8

"Heavily implying that Jesus Christ was an Engineer. Which is false. He was a carpenter." 😂
-
Ripley finding out her daughter Amanda is dead "doesn't add anything"? Are you serious? It adds everything to the central relationship in the movie, that of Ripley and Newt!
-
There is the theory that cyberdine used Dutch as the model for the T800 because of how good he was at defeating the Predator
-
I love the idea of a shared universe between Aliens and Bladerunner
-
The scene where the hybrid gets sucked out through the window literally scarred me mentally for a while. As it was screaming you could hear it say "help me". That scene haunted me for quite a while afterward, I remember going to school the next day and it was all I could think about, lol. Just a truly horrific scene.

Taken over by Walmart is nearly as good as Taco Bell surviving the franchise wars in Demolition Man. XD
-
Aliens is my favorite movie of all time. My older brother introduced it to me when I was too young. I cannot hear the motion tracker beeps without getting anxious. Hudson is literally an all-timer.
-
The multiple cuts of Alien 3 answer so many questions for me. I could have sworn that ripley grabs the alien as it bursts out of her chest at the end of alien 3. But then when I saw the film, that scene was missing. For years, I just figured it was the mandela effect... until watching your video.

Dude the writing and delivery of this timeline summary is top-notch. Entertaining and hilarious. Well done
-
A little easter egg that indicates a long future of the alien universe is Firefly. Ex: In the pilot episode Mal (Nathan Fillion) activates an AA-gun, the aiming display that comes online has a clearly visible Weyland Yutani logo at It's top. I know its probably not canon, but still a fun tidbit. 😊

Jones the Cat: still the smartest character in the entire Alien universes

Great video, my one minor nitpick is this: I'm not sure the alien world that David destroyed was the actual engineer homeworld. Seems to me that this was another Engineer-seeded planet as the humanoids don't look exactly like Engineers, plus their civilization and technology came across as rather under developed. I took that scene as David embarking on a "scorched earth" attack on their "legacies", he's attacking any and all Engineer-seeded planets while on the way to their homeworld. Just my opinion.

Weyland-Yutani: "Crew Expendable" Walmart: Our business plans are so similar, we'd like to make an offer...

23:56 the “spooky Tuscany” is in fact a visual hommage to a painting by HR Giger “Hommage a Böcklin”. Which in turn is a hommage to a painting from Arnold Böcklin “Isle of the Dead”. He painted multiple versions of this and one of them was owned by Adolf Hitler, hung in his office.
-
“ wetland yutani is bought out by wal mart “ I love that text on the timeline spreadsheet just sitting there lol
-
Thank you for translating the Predator, I always wondered what he was saying.
-
My daughter is named Rebecca (Newt) because the first movie my wife and I watched together as a couple was Aliens on Video.
-
The difference between Brian David Gilbert and everyone else: he actually reads all the novels for his research.
-
Wow, that's a lot of info packed into 43 minutes. I love all these franchisees mentioned and did not know about all these connections. Great job.
