Thanks to Alien, I grew up thinking androids were made of milk and spaghetti.
Jinnx you mean they’re not?!?!?
💔
and Grapes!
I didn’t watch them growing up, I was like a senior in high school, but it looked like fettuccini Alfredo to me
🤣🤣🤣
These videos are great! Thank you very much to all who participated in the making of them. Just watches Covenant again. Dying for another movie.
im here ready to be educated with knowledge i will never use but still enjoy watching
Alien series knowledge and trivia really impresses chicks at parties trust me.
Siralsmi54 *theory
yeah, i think the point is to be entertained.
And - you know - it's pretty important to know how to make sure that you're not hooking up with an android by accident. I'm pretty sure romantic subroutines are an expensive add-on.
The best kind of add-on...
Bishop from Aliens was my favorite. He honestly was just doing his job, and despite Ripley's understandable hostility, his programming still ensured he help her and he eventually earned her trust. By the end she saw him as a friend.
He was a sleeper agent built by Hyperdyme Systems those Synthetics never had behaviour monitoring systems or shutdown protocols intended in harming humans. Until the later models came out from Weyland Yutani like Bishop who had those adjustments and upgrades, he can't harm humans like he said in Aliens.
Bishop from Aliens is my favorite character, because he was just badass and sought the approval of his peers. He inquired to whether, or not he did a good job while talking to Ripley. He actually smiles when she says that he had done a good job. I actually skip the part where he's torn apart by the queen, because it always makes me mad. I always wanted them to fix him and bring him back, but it never happened. I was also disappointed that they kill off Hicks and Newt. Aliens had the best characters in the whole franchise thus far. It pisses me off that they wasted such good characters.
Limbo Prime I totally agree with you. Alan Dean Foster was so mad about the decision that he refused to do the novelisation for alien Resurrection. 😐
He also seems to have a subtle sense of humor, which I don't think I've noticed in any of the other synths.
My favorite too
Lance modeled Bishop after his 12 year old self. An innocence about him that is not bitter/resentful towards humans like Ash, Call or David had. Seems like he goes up and beyond to serve people that need him.
David isn't bitter towards humans. Indeed he even tries to model himself after the character Lawrence from the Lawrence of Arabia movie he would watch practicing to match the words and even hairstyle indicating he admired the person. He expressed no ill will towards his team mates despite his testing on them. The problem is with him his curiosity is clearly established as Orange and Blue not black and white well not malicious some of his curiosity is clearly dangerous both to himself and those around him. Think of it like a child exploring the world around them and nobody to guide them properly on to restrain and think things over on the morality of some things, and a child's mind is pure but unfortunately for as innocent as they are, they can be extremely uncaring and cruel. As someone would say. "There is nothing more innocent or cruel then the mind of a child" Jet Black Cowboy Bebop. 1999
One thing I find interesting about the androids we've seen is that in addition to scientific and military "thinking", they are just as capable of making AESTHETIC judgements:
1. David's favourite film is Lawrence of Arabia and patterns his appearance after Peter O'Toole
2. Bishop describes the biology of the Facehugger as "Magnificent"
3. Bishop compliments Ripley on her "new haircut"
So is this a pre-programmed sub-routine or is their A.I. sophisticated enough to develop an individual andriod's sense of what makes something beautiful over time?
Not pre-programmed.
Androids can learn.
The usual thinking is AI evolves
But David can play opera music within minutes of being woken... some parts have to be pre programmed, he knows what tea is, he can identify a steinbach concert piano without prior knowledge, he can make tea.. but he also has the capacity to identify what makes him happy, Lawrence of Arabia is his favourite film, he appreciates fine things and enjoys learning, he taught himself bio chemistry on an alien planet and gene spliced alien dna to create the xenomorph as we know it.. I personally think its a bit of both, pre programmed and an insatiable curiosity.
The longer an Android is allowed to learn, the less and less similar it becomes to the base-model. Look at David, who had enough time to develop their own tastes and subjective opinions which aren't held by any logical constraint or thought. This goes directly against the mentality of android, but is a side-affect of consciousness and individuality.
My favourite has to be Samuels from Alien: Isolation. It's just crazy good how the developers play with your expectations about him. It's possible to catch early on that he's a synth, but then the player expects it to be used as some kind of twist, but it's not, it just gets casually mentioned. After that, throughout most of the game you're unsure whether or not you can trust him.
Came here to say the same. While I love Bishop, I think Samuels is the best synth in the universe. How far he is willing to go to help Amanda get the answers she is searching for really makes him stand out to me and wins him top honors in my book.
High five! After sending the xenomorph into space, I was convinced that Samuels would somehow try to get it back for WY because the game had to somehow bring it back. And when you see the aftermath of Samuels going through the Seegson synths, it almost seems like they're building him up to be the new opponent. But no, you actually CAN trust him!
Agreed. He was my favourite as well.
Kodaemon
I loved Samuels, he was one of the only androids who sincerely cared about human life and thought about Amanda's reasons for being stationed near the area her mom disappeared, allowing her to go on mission with him to close old wounds.
Kodaemon I knew he was a synthetic when he said "I don't need as much sleep as the crew does" when Ripley woke out of hyper sleep.
You always know a Working Joe...
GlupiDecko i cant help you if i cant find you
GlupiDecko Damn those Joe's!
-Cobra Commander
We don't forget the little details when seeing the big picture.
Yup, you know a Working Joe tag-teaming you with the Xenomorph.
You are becoming hysterical.
I love the working joes from isolation, it was great to see a low budget competator to Weyland Yurani and expanding the universe showing there are other companies out there.
Should do a video on seegson sometime, I'd love that
Those were freaky - a combination of planned obsolescence and resource-skimping parsimony on the behalf of those watching the bottom line, given a face... well almost a face.
They were a brilliant idea, I like how they were made to look not human so to put people at ease, but they still look humorously creepy and unsettling. They really belong in the Alien universe proper.
That was just seegsons selling point for their crappy androids, the truth was there android tech was garbage and they needed a selling point to excuse the lack of looking "real". Pretty clever actually. :D
You always know a Working Joe.
You're becoming hysterical
I always thought the white liquid was some form of hydraulic fluid.
Bishop was my favourite. I loved his exchange in Alien3, where he said if he wasn't top of the line, he'd rather be nothing. When I wrote an Aliens fanfiction story starring an android as the main character, that moment in Alien3 provided terrific insight into android motivations.
Bishop is so fucking cool, but Davids perfeccion gives me the creeps
Thats actually another point made in the Colonial marines technical manual. USCM synthetics, are specifically modeled to appear in their early middle age and project a parental air to those around them. It makes people around them more comfortable with the synthetics, compared to David's perfection, which only serves to highlight to people how artificial he is.
Carlos Rodriguez as if a creepy robot wasn’t bad enough, I don’t need a damn aryan one
Uncanny valley shiz
Jep Ash and Bishop!!! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮
I wonder how david would have survived on Paradise for 10 years, if the androids need 2-yearly maintenance and replacement parts?
RazerBe repurposed engineer tech maybe? Idk
Is it the same David, though? David is an android, mass produced.
Well, it was confirmed that David survived (I thought). David is also the prototype. The other android is the mass produced version of David called Walter.
RazerBe Maybe he's using that machine on the ship. He can fix himself.
Wasn't David just a head at the end of Prometheus, after the Engineer tore it off and used David's head to clobber Mr Weyland? I'm sure Shaw was carrying David's head around in a bag
Bishop: "I'm shocked! Was it an older model?
Burke: Hyperdyne Systems 120-A2
Bishop: "Well that explains it the A2's were always a bit twitchy.
it sounded like bishop was spilling some serious tea in this scene 😂 the scandalized face when burke explained her aversion to droids was priceless.
_"I prefer the term 'Artificial Person' myself."_
*proceeds to prove his un-twitchiness with knife and human hand...
Yeah, those Cyberdyne Systems Model 101s were a bit twitchy.
Definitely Bishop. When he savedRip and Newt from the Queen and then Newt from being sucked out of the Sulaco, he won me over.
Bishop and Walter are my favorites. I think Walter may be at the top of my list because he was kind and helpful to humans even without the inability to harm them that was later hardcoded into the later models.
So far I think Bishop ends up being the most endearing synthetic, though David or Walter may turn out to be the most layered and interesting.
So far, Bishop is my favorite. But I'm looking forward to see Walter in Alien: Covenant.
Can you make a video about how a facehugger would react to a android.
James C they wouldn't do anything to them
It's very interesting question, never shown in the movies.I think, the facehugger have no interest in synthetic, because they are not living organisms and can't be hosts for alien embryo.For Aliens, if androids don't cause them any trouble, they are just a inanimate things.
James C Yes, like the Black goo in David's finger, no reaction
I think you can see in one of the new Covenant trailers that one of the eggs react at all to David.
So facehuggers can sense what between a living and a non living organism?
My favorite synthetic being in the alienverse is not an android. It is Jeri from the Alien Stronghold comic. He was a synthetic alien with a wicked sense of humor. I would love to see a character like him in a movie.
Ash is my favourite sinthetic, he is so sneaky, and his final monologue, brilliant.
Let's not forget the Xenomorph Android Jeri from the comic Aliens: Stronghold.
I thought it was gonna be stupid when i saw the picture of a Xenomorph serving dinner!
Or the cover picture, of a xenomorph wielding a pulse rifle and smoking a cigar
"damaged sustained in combat to central processing... experiencing system failure. prime directive enforcement program has been incapacitated"
*smokes a poisounous cigar, and blows the smoke in the villains face*
"but i still know a son of a bitch when i see on"
extremly badass
what about the paperback dark horse edition of alien: hive, where they have one of the original xeno synths playing with a golden retriever? :-P
Does he smoke the cigar with his outer or inner mouth though? 🤔
"Whatever you are, wherever you're hiding, I am a very patient machine." - i love the Working Joe's
The image of Bishop being torn in half by the queen is one of the most vivid memories from my youth and it always made me want to know how androids worked in this universe. I always assumed the white stuff was hydraulic fluid that inflated and deflated those bulbs you see when Ripley is working on Ash. Kind of like how an insect body works just way more complex. Interesting video as always, the more I see the more hyped I am for Covenant.
The best is hard to pick. What I like about Bishop is he is slightly different compared to the others. He is not bitter or resentful towards humans. Lance said he made Bishop after his 12 year old self. An innocence about him. That is really nice.
David is the coolest so far... Just cause you get to see his daily routine and it's pretty neat.
+FYVE dude has some sweet basketball skills that's for sure
What about Call? She seemed a little more than "superficially" self-aware.
John-Michael Barnhill 200 years of technical advancement does wonders.
Call's personality was designed by synthetics as infiltration unit so she behaves like a human according to other synthetics but other people think she is too humanistic. She hasn't restrictions on harm or kill humans, her main directive is to preserve humanity. Technically she is the most advanced synthetic. She was able to take control over Father and military ship but her motility and sense organs are noticeably worse than those of previous models
perhaps to look like a woman but not like precise robot.
The claim that synthetics only mimic the appearance of consciousness is an in-universe statement of official USCM policy (from the Colonial Marines Technical Manual). It is not necessarily true, it is just convenient for the military to believe.
such a good video!
David is by far my favorite. He embodies his creator, and really carries the storyline.
Samuels from alien isolation was my favorite because he didn't behave like "company property" and genuinely wanted to help even going so far as to "die" in order to save the player and help defeat the xenomorph
Him demolishing the Working Joe will forever be satsifying
Weyland Never Crease Fabric?! I need some of this! I hate ironing my shirts.
Bishop seems the most likable - he's Pinocchio
Ash was more Hal 9000. Heartless.
David is soulless. He's... Hitler - a God complex looking to perfect a master race, but he's much worse. He's essentially immortal, extraordinarily intelligent, immensely educated and utterly ruthless. David is truly scary.
I prefer the term artificial person myself ;-)
Haha, they deleted that scene for a reason!
Yeah, Bishop is my favorite.
Bishop ! i think the most ppl in here will agree with me that your voice is rly calm and tender, thats one of the reasons i subed, Main reason is ofc coz of the alien stuff
Samuels from Alien Isolation because he was a good guy with no other objective but to help you or David 8 because I don't know what he's up to...
I always liked the Bishop android growing up as a kid and I got to meet Lance Henriksen the actor who played him in Aliens and Alien 3 a few years back at ComicCon which was awesome! But I would have to say I find David 8 to be the most fascinating both in terms of his synthetic anatomy and his artificial personality. It's ironic that an android which is not technically alive is so fascinated with life and creating living organisms!
I'd be really interested to know more about the Colonial Marines. Specifically what kind of missions have they gone on in the past. The dialogue in Aliens seems to suggest they have dealt with other forms of alien life before.
Bishop is not only my favorite android, but my favorite Alien character. I saw Aliens as a child and the pipe scene really impact me.
I like how Ash tried to kill Ripley. It was exactly what you would expect a robot to do that isn't programmed to kill. But overall, Bishop was the best synthetic. Even when he was in two parts he was still useful.
Sweet video man I've been waiting for you to cover the androids and behavioral traits. This video gives an incredible insight on the inner biological workings of the androids as well. Sweet work, keep it up!
Thanks,
While Michael Fassbender has been great as David, and I look forward to his continued "evolution", Bishop will always be THE Synthetic to which all others are compared. Heck, I still use the name Bishop for RPGs, videogames, etc. Not only is he (IMO) the second most compelling character in the Aliens Movieverse, but I'd rank both he and Ripley in the top 25 Sci Fi characters of all time, personally.
What an amazing and intelligent commentary! And a well done video as well! Thank you!
best android was Bishop, because he had that amazing soft, smooth and deep voice of Lance Henriksen
Tell that to Hudson in the mess...
Haha!
I loved bishops android character for the simple reason that he requested for ripely to shut him down because he knew he would never be top of the line again. It really was a marvel of self desire that I have yet to forget.
Definitely Walter (from the Covenant) because he seemed the most moral, though less human.
The way you narrate this stuff makes it feel like actual, factual history
my favorite is Samuel's from Alien isolation
David has to be my favourite android we have seen so far. His personal motivations of freedom from Weyland and his own search for knowledge makes for an interesting character. Cant wait to see him in Covenant.
One thing that doesn't make sense to me is that with artificial humans this advanced, there is absolutely no reason you would need to send a whole crew of real humans on any of these expeditions. The risk makes no sense. You would send a bunch of robots who would report back to Earth. We already do that with today's limited technology. With the androids from the Alien universe the only reason to ever send a real human would be to fill an already built colony on a distant planet. Humans would never be sent for expeditionary activities.
The humans are probably cheaper to replace.
Humans have always engaged in perilous expeditionary activities. it's not about practicality, it's about the human spirit, and it may still be the case that there are ways in which humans can observe things that androids cannot. Remember, even advanced computers are still not as complex or resilient as the human brain. Androids can glitch and break down over time.
You bring up a great point.
Ultimately, I think it boils down to cost.
We never see the actual price of an Android as sophisticated as David.
However since crews are always "expendable", I think human life is considered dirt cheap in the Alien Universe.
gosh darn man, so much work is put into this. I can tell you enjoy it tho! :)
Bless.
How could David have survived so long based on this description of synthetics
Fantastic work Sir. Encyclopedic in scope and profound in context.
I personally prefer Bishop as it tends to perform the best human phenotype.
I've always wondered if the androids from the Alien movies were related (so to speak) to the replicants in Blade Runner. I've heard the Alien world was in the Blade Runner universe.
Bishop from Aliens is my favourite without a doubt. "I thought you never miss Bishop. " 👍
I loved that scene as a kid, and over the years I've figured out why.
If the androids are designed at the fundamental processing level to mimic even a part of Humans' natural and heuristic approach to sensory percept analysis, logic and motor control then it follows the android would occasionally... miss.
THAT AIN'T BLOOD
THAT'S SPLOOGE
It's coolant fluid.
I do actually think David is a personal favourite android. It could be for lack of other stuff (especially characters) in that film, but feels like he's the actual protagonist and made out to be more human than everyone else and superior in every way, despite their denial. Well at least is the only android with major character development, and the only character in prometheus with character development.
I definitely like David a lot as a viewer. It seemed so much more that he wanted to learn about everything around him and expand his "mind". It was a type of curiosity that I enjoyed watching. A lot of his one-liners in Prometheus were also quite amusing
I enjoyed Bishop in the second movie (is the name right?). I found his personality sensitive to the human condition and wanting to be accepted by the humans around him. You have a vast knowledge of this sci fi universe and it is admirable the level of detail you provide. What are your sources when compiling your information for your vids?
Wynona Ryder is my favorite synthetic. Do they make a Home model?
I've always loved Bishop. One of my favorite scenes is when he is in the pipe; Vazquez gives him a hand gun, which he promptly hand right back.
Call! Hands down! More human than human.
Seeing Alien Covenant Droid commercial as clicked to this !
Too perfect to be coincidental...
Alien Theories; your works're awesome !
What do you think of the theory that Blade Runner and Alien share the same universe? The Nexus six are super advanced androids. I heard that Ridley Scott( who created both) more or less confirmed this, or at least approves of the idea. Don't hold me to that last bit.
Jake Theberge there was a whole bit about that in the Prometheus "extra" content. Weyland had an email/diary where he spoke about his "colleague" (the head honcho in blade runner) that also had a God complex, which bit him in the ass.
Ridley Scott did not create Bladerunner, since it was based on a novel by Phillip K Dick. That said, Aliens and Predator have both crossed over with pretty much EVERYTHING.
weldonwin He directed the film.
Scott adapted Dick's story to film and as +Jake Theberge said he has essentially agreed it was intended and to solidify this, as +Taylor King said there were extras on the Prometheus DVD content that showed correspondence with the "colleague" from the Blade Runner film. I'm led to believe this will be adapted further in the sequel, Blade Runner 2049
i don't know if the time line of the alien universe can technically match with the blade runner universe. in the blade runner universe replicants are created with DNA and this to me is much more technologically advanced compared to the androids in Alien.
I really love this channel. I binge-watched all of your videos in one day and thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them. Hell even the Female Wars video, that's the power you have. I really hope your channel expands even beyond this point, even though what you already achieved is quite an accomplishment.
I appreciate that Simon, thank you! I've already grown way way way beyond my expectations so any more is really just gravy. It's been really incredible and I'm so happy people enjoy my videos.
Man, I appreciate your reply to! Just keep making awesome content!
where is the podcast?
my favorite android is probably David 8 he's such an interesting character and can't wait to see him again in Alien Covenant
I think if perhaps David was in a better movie, he could be compared and rightfully so to Ash and Bishop. But i fear due to the film he was in, he is brought down a peg or two.
The problem with David is that hes turned into this grand antagonist of the series when Alien was never about that
David is my favorite. I love that he thinks for himself and that he believes he's better he is by far in my opinion the android with the most depth.
Alien Theory
If Ripley Scott has come out and said that the Alien and Blade Runner movies are in the same vers, whats the difference with Androids and Replicants?
Are they basically the same but made by different groups so get branded a different title?
I guess it would imply that Tyrell and Weyland were competitors which would make sense - it's not like iPhone is the only smart phone on the market.
Thanks for getting back to me so quick. Do you think there would ever be a cross over or mention of the other type/brand?
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if there is a certain reference in Covenant that would later go on to have some significance in the Blade Runner sequel. Maybe nothing terribly obvious, but an off-the-cuff reference to a corporation or piece of technology.
Like a hidden story line going on under the over laying one.
Rick and Morty does it on many levels, why I think the show has amazing replayability, could give both movies a deeper meaning and more appealing to people.
That being the case, Kurt Russell's underrated _Soldier_ would then be part of it all too, eh?
You did it once again ! Your vids are so detailed and vast explanatory, thats y I love them. Keep up the good vids. =)
you've missed Samuels, the synthetic who helped Amy Ripley, who is quite the badass among the androids :)
curiously enough, hyperdyne systems were to be known a cyberdyne prior to their reform and later acquisition by WY, which would have connected aliens and terminator universes, perhaps one is an alternate reality to the other? XD
as for the white blood... well, it is unlikely they eat the same as humans, So their interior hasn't to be similar, making a difference again with the cyborgs and replicants, whose bodies are either machine covered in living tissue, or completely synthetic bodies, created out of artificial DNA structures, designed to last 4 years at most, but human like and actually alive. The white blood, somehow, is also a token, a sort of totem for the robots to never forget they are robotic in nature, when the doubt appeared.
Have you ever considered doing commentary videos for the Alien movies? Would be awesome to watch them again with your input & thoughts. Great content as always.
Honestly David is one of favorite characters in general from the alien series
David was my favorite, such an interesting "artificial person."
is their blood milk?
Behind the scenes, yes actually. For the first two movies, they used milk as the 'blood' coming out of the androids' mouths, in the scene where Ash has been beheaded and in Aliens when the Queen impails Bishop. As an aside, Ian Holms who played Ash *HATED* milk and for Lance Henrickson's scene, they kept these cups of milk standing around for retakes of the scene, but no one thought to refridgerate them, so as a result, he got really sick afterwards.
weldonwin makes sensr
I think youre wrong about that, they were going to use milk but it went bad too quickly and started to stink so they just used water with colouring through it, i'm sure its brought up in a commentary for one of the movies
They just ruined my appetite for milk...
***** ;)
My favourite synth is the cigarsmoking synthetic xenomorp Jeri from the comic Aliens: Stronghold.
would it be cool if a face hugger impregnated a synthetic AND IT WORKED?!what would the xenomorph look like?
bonkle arple prederctions : My opinion is that what you just mentioned is how the Xenomorphs get their bio-mechanical look. If you notice the Deacon (prometheus), and the creatures we've seen in Covenant trailers do not have that bio-mechanical look that we've seen in Alien and Aliens. I'm guessing David finds a way to incorporate himself into the creatures. It could be his way of "sharing his DNA" or improving upon the species.
Techno-Virus 757 Now that's scary. An alienandroidxenodeacon
I always thought the bio-mechanical look was a result of the xenomorphs merging with the organic technology we saw in the ship of the space jockey and the engineers. But you're right, the Deacon would not follow that pattern.
It could be a result of Davids meddling, however, proper DNA merging would be simply impossible, since androids don't have DNA or something equivalent that holds information in a similar way.
MrMartechi : You could be right. I didn't think about that. The Xenomorphs do resemble the ship. And, the bio-mechanical? armor that the engineers wear could be connected to the Xenos. I can't wait to see this movie.
it would look like the thing that fell out of the pod at the end of The Fly (1986)
the first artificial person is my favorite. he has a good storyline and he's bonkers mentally but plays it off very well to the crew of the ship
I'm gonna be *that* guy and point out that chassis is pronounced "SHa-see," not "KA-see".
Sorry, for being *that* guy!
+Kj16V so far that guy has commented about a dozen times lol. This mistake will follow me forever. :(
You’re becoming Hysterical
Weyland androids are more advance than the Seegson and Hyperdyme Type androids.
SR71ABCD - BETA TYSON "You'll always know a working Joe"
When I first saw Ash get his head partially knocked off and still trying to kill- that was more shocking and scary to me than the chest burster scene
Annalee Call,
She's my favorite too.
Bishop hands down is my fave. He seemed the most human and was just over all a cool dude
Chassis is pronounced "ch-ah-see" not "k-ass-ee"
+Brian Bagnall oops
or sometimes "shah-see" depending on the country.
Props for not saying "CHA-sis".
Great video. I love the cold and clinical way in which you described the inner workings, history and even the dubious property status. Very weyland yutani.
am i the only one that thinks the synthetic blood is human fluid. (if ya know what i mean.)
KineTM That gives 2:57 a whole new context
KineTM yes you are
With Ash in Alien 1, it was originally intended to look like that, keeping in line with the subconcious catching on to the sexual themes in the film.
it's strange.Their blood resemble this kind of human fluid,but it's realy sick comparison.
just in case they need to help with repopulation.
Bishop is my favorite so far, but David is slowly growing and may soon take my top spot.
I love Bishop. He's actually my 2nd favourite overall behind Hicks.
I choose to believe that the androids in the Alien franchise have true sentience. Ash is intelligent and sardonic, Bishop is sensitive, proactive and contemplative about his condition as an android, Call is a deeply and diversely emotional individual, and even David (a more primitive earlier model) has clear agency and self-awareness.
By the way, my favorite android in the Alien franchise is still probably Ash, as I admire his dry wit, wisdom and stolid efficiency.
Bishop is my favorite but Ash is amazing too. Both incredible performances by gifted actors
Annalee Call is a phenomenal character with a beautifully written story. She’s by far my favorite android in the Alien universe.
It's funny. I never considered it "blood" or thought of it as "milk" like most people do. I always thought of it as "oil."
This difference of interpretation is why Alien's brilliant.
Cheers
Finally, someone said something about milk! The stuff is white, in part, so that an android can replenish openly in front of humans without blowing his cover - just drink a glass of "milk." Remember Ash tearing off his gloves and downing a glass in the lab? Not so easy to accomplish if his "blood" turns deep red when oxidised ...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Hyperdine (I probably misspelled that) the same company that made the Terminators? If so, does that mean the Alien and Terminator universes are either the same, or is the Terminator universe is a parallel spin-off?
Yeah, that's what I thought when I heard Hyperdine.
That would be cyberdyne or however it’s spelled
I love these videos so much, I'm a huge fan of the Aliens series and I loved them all. I think Bishop & Call were my favorites but I loved Ash too, he was a great baddie. I liked David too, I wonder how different Walter will be from David.
I always wanted to know more about these Androids and their tech.
Thanks for sharing..
David may add mechanical element to the alien morphs. like ash said "perfect organism, its structural prefection only matched by its hostility, unclouded by moral and consciousness " and david said "big things have small beginnings." ...David is trying to be a god, "in order to create you must destroy " and "not matter that it hurts "
I really enjoyed David and Bishop the most. And I love that Bishop's actor plays the human owner of an android in Detroit: Become Human--that's such a wink to us Alien series nerds.
Your videos are amazing! I've watched several of them today. Some of the best insight into the events of the Aliens universe and franchise ever.
Nicely done. 😀
+officerbrock I really really appreciate your kind words, thank you! I really love doing these videos and I'm glad you've been enjoying them! :)
Alien Theory ,
I'm also the commanding officer of a group of Colonial Marines in Denver (1st Battalion, 38th Regiment). We are USCM costumed re-enactors and are huge fans of the franchise, too. I have a dual role as the Captain/CO (hence the name "officerbrock") and a synthetic. Would love to talk with you some more. Look me up on Facebook as "BJ Brown."
Thanks for this very cool upload,bro.
My favorite android will always be Bishop. I always feel bad for how Ripley treats him for most of the film, although I understand why she does. His role in the film is vital to the survival of the Ripley, Hicks and Newt. The characters in this film were very well developed. When he saves Newt from flying out of the garbage compactor at the end always stands out to me.
Airlock, not garbage compactor, that's Star Wars
