They were androids and considered expendable. But Hicks still went down to rescue them. No man left behind no matter what.
Hicks is an honor-bound man, a stout Marine who'd give just about anything to complete his mission, save for sacrificing his men.
It's a weakness, but also a strength. Hicks is a good man, and it could be used against him. Still, no matter the odds or the opponent, he sticks to his ways and never relents. It's what we all love about Hicks, I think.
It they aren’t men. ?
Why waste so much time to make realistic androids, when you need simple basic android in massive numbers?..
That part its quite bad writing..
It's not difficult to believe that the androids would do the same thing for humans. Whether they did it because of programming or feelings doesn't matter imo.
@@luisar5755 maybe. Maybe they needed smarter androids to be worth it to fight the xenomorphs?
This channel is like a gold mine
KTHEDEVASTATOR Agreed
I know right!!
Full of carcinogenic byproducts?
More like gold and diamonds
absolutely
In a strange way...Massey's appearance, personality and his choice of words all reminded me too much of Albert Wesker from the Resident Evil Games.
i was gonna make a joke about easily seeing him teleport punching someone, but this saved me some time, oh wait
Maybe there could be similarities, but this material was out well before that series. I am not sure if I were insinuating some sort of character copying or not. If not apologies. Weaker is kinda normal villain archetype, which also may explain similarities.
Lmao, I thought the same shit. He doesn't just look like him either, he literally plays the SAME role too and has the same personality.
I agree.
Complete Global Lactation
This is where the Alien cannon should have gone.
Theodore Young Jr. Who's to say this isn't where its going , although I dont think they have a home , they are engineerd for "cleansing"
I think that is another thing David wants , a home for himself & his "artwork" (because David didn't create the Xenomorph from scratch , the Engineers are the original "founders/creators" what we saw in covenant is Davids artistic spin on an ancient "long frozen over " creature.
"I learned of their ways "
Nah, they should have just ended the whole character story arc of Ripley/Newt/Hicks and come up with some new good characters and situation to write a new story arc about.
there is no real canon, there were the alien movies....several books and comics, all of them not considered "canon".....there is no canon to identify, even ridley scott himself refused to see AVP movies as "alien" movies.
as long as you have enough money, you can do what you want with this license
hell there is even a Batman vs. Xenomorph comic out there
rene ziesig and superman vs aliens.
Man, this is awesome. This is the best one yet. It’s like I’m getting to see the Alien sequels I never got.
Your passion for a universe that I've loved for most of my life is infectious and your videos have such great production value. I'm glad I found you.
Jonah Manning well said
This would have been a much more interesting film than Alien Resurrection
All of these stories would have been better was never a comic guy as a kid but some one sould have told me about these comics
These stories capture everything the first two movies did. It’s like the second movie never ended
Everything after Aliens was an insult to the legacy of the first two. Including Ridley's absurd abortion of a film.
@@darioinfini two abortions.
This 'engineer' is better than the blue man group ancient alien history channel rubbish.
Idk I didn't mind resurrection, i think 3 was pretty bad tho, at least the way alien looked. I wish we could just have all these stories on screen, there needs to be an avp tv series so they can actually flush out this universe its so cool, they just need someone who can do it right.
Tueller Priniciple : An attacker can cover 21 feet in 1 second, faster depending on physical capabilities, personal motivation and commitment to the attack. Newt should have blown his ass away at the door.
That's if your gun is holstered, she already had her gun out and aimed at him so it's not that applicable. But I get what you mean
+Luc d'Eca The Tueller Principle applies in any aggressor/defender situation. Particularly where you are armed with range multiplier type weapon , and the attacker is armed with CQW (Close quarters weapon; Hands, feet, knives, etc)
4
Example: You come upon someone brutally stabbing another. You are armed with a valid conceal carry permit and a pistol. You pull out your weapon and train it on the attacker. The attacker stands up and faces you with a knife. It is commonly accepted practice that you maintain distance. You have your weapon trained on an individual who has a CQW. You have the upper hand right? Not necessarily, you must maintain the advantage. The Tueller principle tells us that attacker can close 21 feet in one second. Often times the attacker without range component will appear calm, and approach in a calm manner while still maintaining the threat factor of the CQW.
If attacker is within 21 feet back away to give yourself TIME to put multiple shots on target. Better yet if you are in a street, don't walk straight backwards, but instead move away and sideways; strafing if you'd like to call it that, so that you can have clear view of where your moving and still keep increasing the distance. While facing a close quarters attack, and having pistol drawn , backing into a curb or speed bump could instantly turn the tables on you.
In Newt's situation ; He was already armed with a pistol, had a hostage, and Newt not knowing if he had body armor. She gained the advantage when he dropped his weapon, but lost advantage as she let him close distance in what seemed like a calm demeanor. This is why the Tueller principle is very important. They teach this to law enforcement and military.
i cannot believe this part of the Aliens mythology isn't made to a TV Series yet! It's GOLD and i am sure even non Alien fans would dig it!
I'm convinced Aliens 3-4 is Ripley's hybernation dreaming.
One year later comment: nightmare, not dream. :-D
I accept this as fact 💯 and as far as I'm concerned... Prometheus and Alien covenant NEVER HAPPENED!
that was my favorite space jockey design.
RedheadMetalC yeah it was cool, idk if I prefer it over what we got though, maybe if the engineers had a slight trunk thing like the suit and the suit was really just covering the head
Just as awe inspiring as when I first made out the humanoid shape in the pilot chair when watching Alien for the first time. Both eerie and ancient in mystery.
This turns into a Slim Shady Freestyle at about 5:50 lmao
BAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Rofl nice catch
G fucking G
Its crazy that the Alien EU is amazing while the movies are kinda disappointing
Because it is usually handled by people who give a damn about the universe and the story, rather than movie tickets sold.
Yeah look at Star Wars EU
My only problem was it was like 3-4 people saving the world, For example why use Hicks when they could use another marine? Or Newt with some frontier girl?
But then again I never really liked the 'chosen one/few' type storytelling.
Most of the movies. Please edit that comment
The only alien movies that matter are Alien and Aliens
Loving the series
I like to think that Hudson is still alive
spartan order he was cocooned just like the rest of them and if he didn't die from a chest buster then he died from the explosion. Hell Ripley finds Burke impregnated and begin in the deleted scene so no doubt pvt Hudson was the same.
You find his body in colonial marines too.
In the movie, he was drug down but he got at his hidden boot knife and jabbed it in it's throat. Alien dropped him and he hit the ground running as his right hand dissolved
@@duchessarcher66 what movie
“GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER!!!”
I read this as a little girl and was bit traumatied by the shredded soldiers. And VERY disappointed when I finally saw Alien 3 and Newt did not survive! Felt so cheated.
Believe me, *everyone* felt cheated.
I knowwwwwww!!! I did not like that Newt died but maybe it was better that way because she would have been living on a prison...
When I was young, around ten years old, I read the comic book based on the original Alien movie. It was horrifying and traumatic.
wow, I just found this channel. I couldnt care less about the alien movies. I just love these stories and comics. It DOES make me look at the films in a new light. I had no idea the story was this indepth. Thank you so much for doing this!!!
ah the classic let the unarmed dude approach you technique. And even after all that "Embrace death talk.";)
My only complaint is that Massey's death felt kinda anticlimactic. Beyond that, great video as always.
"Come another step closer and I'll punch your ticket" is such a raw line
Great uploading Alien videos i really enjoy watching your videos!
That ending. Guy looks like a final boss
Enjoying this series 👌
This is an awesome channel. I'm glad you keep putting out content.
Well done. You’ve done a great job retelling the story and describing the characters.
OH that cliffhanger !! Your best video by far both aesthetically and narratively Alien Theory excellent job !
Love the sound effects in this one.
Ralph TheWonderLlama yeah that was dope
I like your editing style man, very clever AND effective. Subd.
Getting sucked back into the alien universe is great. Love your channel mate. Thanks for all the great content.
This video was as good as being in the movies! Great narrating!
Great video really liked this one. I know I keep saying this but love the content of your channel. It’s all the things I wanted to know about the alien universe. Thank you
Not read this series in YEARS! Doing an excellent job narrating keep it up! :D
I love these videos! Keep this up because this is just amazing.
Amazing, as always. Love Alien Theory. Well done, again for such tremendous work. xxxxx
These stories would make a good video game focusing on various characters some characters would have survival horror. Some characters deal with action packed suspenseful missions.
Great stuff I'm just finding out exists. Thanks to you. Going straight to play list to and watching all.
I hope the next Earth War account is about General Spears and his crazy plan to retake Earth using a army of trained xenomorphs.
Midway 1942 i believe that happened near the end. But that guy was bat shit crazy and also had a good idea on paper
If it doesn't work in practice, then it doesn't work in theory either.
Midway 1942 so badass haha
These videos have a nice flow to them . You have a captivating voice that draws me deeper into this world of xenomorphs . thank you and very nice work !
Wow these stories are incredible! If you have created them, then you are extremely talented! I don’t know why this hasn’t been picked up by a network and made into a TV series.
A starship trooper style alien movie would be cool
Not cooler than alien
@John Frylock I blame the brainwashing/propaganda. It is both hilarious and pathetic that they cant even sit down to watch a comic without hijacking a completely apolitical and unrelated comment in order to cry to random strangers about the "evil leftists", and in TOD's case taking the time to endorse unapologetic fascism. It sure is something isn't it.
Awesome video derick. I love all your video's but these longer videos are the best. Pls do more . Honestly man your content is in my opinion is shit hot.
Cool OUT! Can't wait for the next chapter. I'm gripped.
I really hope you make more vids like this loving this style of vid with aliens comics
My favorite corner of RUclips right here! Great channel

You've really got the voice for this, thank you very much. I was looking through this channel and accidentally clicked this video, decided to let it run & see what i thinks. I am captivated so gonna start at the beginning, get stoned and pose my neca and hiya jawns while enjoying the story time, hell yeah \,,/
Wooo, really love this series
Even though i m not a fan of all this darkness and horror the Alienverse is; you do a great job here. thank you

Poor Newt. She never catches a break, loses her family to Aliens, gets stalked by Aliens, is rescued by Ripley and the marines and starts to think that she can have a family figure again, then Ripley gets killed and she gets sectioned and drugged 24/7. She then dodges a labotomy, stows away on a suicide mission to the alien world, falls in love, gets laid, gets called a cunt, becomes a murderer, gets the love of her life ripped from her again and then worst of all, the very worst, she discovers an android sheep has been balls deep in her!
I'll say 😓 poor girl really can't catch a break 😓💯
buen video hermano, he pasado un poco de trabajo pero lo entendido casi todo.
So good thank you
Great videos
This is my favorite channel now!!!! I've been binge watching for 3 days now I forgot to eat and shower lol back to reality but can't wait to come back to my new secret love
Not a secret anymore. Thank you for watching!
It would be cool if there were video games based off of these comics.
Awsome!!!!
Your production value keeps getting better and better, just out of curiosity, what software do you use for video editing? Looks amazing
Such a good video! 🤤
Awesome story
I don't understand why the movies went the direction they did when there is this wealth of lore.
Me......I would NOT hesitate to shoot!
A mad murderous man is dangerous until dead and quartered in my book!
Turning a gun on someone is not an easy thing to do even when that person absolutely needs to be shot
u must not be american.
No it's just called having a conscience
What happened to Ripley in this story?
Fear the Pig Gaming self preservation outpaces morals.
Alien Theory is a great narrator
18:05 Holy hell.
Feels like I'm watching a movie!
The music goes with the story.
Thanks for putting the effort in to making these. Really fascinating.
Dude, listening to this while working through loads of code at work is amazing. Keep crushing it bro! I LOVE THIS SHIT!
So... what -was- that thing which had 'rescued' those stuck in the APC? I hope this gets answered later in this series, I'm fascinated yet disappointed it isn't explained. Googling nets no hits.
Isn't it obvious from looks alone? It's a space jockey, remember this comic predates Promethius and everything it introduced about the Engineers.
21:42
Disney is like
“Will change it to Dumbo instead
Get it done!”
All jokes aside I love your channel and I’m hoping Disney does a great job with any alien projects in the future
are you kidding? you do realise disney is intentionally destroying all old movies and shows on purpose right? disney wants all old classics erased from existance. so they can have only feminism and gay shows and movies
MrCcragg27 Right now
Disney is on its knees
I have these movies and there is nothing Disney can do about it
"SAVES ME THE TROUBLE IM A BAD ASS"
also newt: "dont, nnooo, stay their pleaaase".
Holy shit this was so good
Awesome
Hey man I love your video, can you please guide me on where to start?
Again amazing job.!
awesome
Wow I remember this comic. It came with the toys I used to collect
Great Channel, subbed! what is the music playing in the background?
Oh snap. They kept the Engineers original elephant like design instead of making it simply what their exo suits looked like. That’s kinda crazy.
This is the direction the movies should have gone.
Will there be a follow up video to this? I'm seriously considering finding this series and buying it.
Space jockeys must be mad powerful. Wonder what kind of weapon that was that killed all the xenos but never harmed the ship
Hey love it 😊 bro can you do the dame with aliens defiance and aliens dead orbit plis plis please
Thanks for these videos. They are such an enjoyment!
