Hey guys, thanks for checking out this little story of mine! I would note that not all of the issues noted are mine. This was almost more of a fun try to take all the complaints I see from the fan base and see if it could be all wrapped up! It was tons of fun to come up with anyway! I would note too that the Alphas aren't related to either humans or engineers. I like them being something totally unknown and different, but they had to have a similar look to make the story work. I'd like to think that they were a human like species that has been around for such a long time, that they are crazy advanced now, and admired the Humans.....possibly, but that would be another story! Thanks again everyone!
Solid fixes Here's my "tinker" with your idea... Alphas create the Engineers and then the Engineers in turn create the Sub Engineers seen in Covenant. And the reason the Engineers hated humans may be simply that they saw us being created on Earth as the Alphas suggesting that the Engineers were a mistake. This would also explain why there was such joy for the return of the Juggernaut ship because the Sub Engineers actually worship the Engineers who created them.
Theres also an idea that the xenomorph's life cycle takes it further to an evolved entity. This was exactly seen in the X-files serie. Black goo, xenomorphish, then fo some grey like form eventually
fallenangel2100 Interesting, considering that the "Alphas" actually grow their tech as per this theory it wouldn't be that far fetched to think the xenomorph is meant to be manipulated by the black goo to be come any number of living tech ... but Is the comic 'canon' to the movie series?
The first stage engineers can be the "creator" engineers that fans have speculated and the the xeno/second stage can be a ultra radical "destroyer" engineers that become almost Zealots that deem everything else as not good enough for their creators the alphas. The destroyer engineers should discover an alien race that closely resembles the xenomorph and through the black synthesize a superior weapon to eradicate all other species. In the prologue for Prometheus, the creator engineers should create the arcturians from Aliens with their DNA, but those science-minded non zealots should be eradicated by the destroyers. That way the aliens already exist but are mutated heavily through the black goo.
@@scifiexplained this movie franchise is basically built upon the ancient alien theory. the only difference is that you seem to think that humans evolved on it's own, while human religions and mythology indicates that we've been altered by aliens (hundreds of stories about virgin birth = insemination. Jesus was built on Horus (if you read the prometheus script, the engineer told David that they took one human to their planet to educate him, but when sent back to Earth the humans punished him = Jesus or Horus). And Horus and Gods came from another solar system according to the Egyptians. The Cave paintings they show in Prometheus are actually real, google "cave painting UFO's / aliens" and you'll see what I mean.
@@nr1NPC ikr, What if the Engineers are for real like in the real world? What if we find 'em in the future just like the crew of prometheus. If that happens, The Alien franchise would become an Arifact of some sorts lol
It would have been awesome if the face hugger infected the whole ship since the Alpha was fused with it at the time of infection. Then you would was a fucking killer Xeno Ship cruising around space, spitting out Alpha Morphs!
His ego would be shattered if some random internet denizen comes up with more concise story that is way better than what alien movies portray visually and narration wise.
There are legal (ownership) issues. Once you accept a submission, the author has copyright claim. Say you become inspired by a submission, but turn it down after reading... but... you come up with your own, but similar, then you have opened yourself up to a plagiarism lawsuit. Studios are very careful about "reading" submissions. They have a separate department that will look at it first, before it's presented to influential parties for that reason.
have some appreciation to the creators of your imagination swine , this video makes sense BECAUSE of Prometheus and Covenant.... and now you dwell and fester within your negativity thinking your false thoughts about Ridley Scott are fact when he probably already has the information in this video solidified as canon for our beloved sci fi series............. oh ye of Little faith
Why don't film writers put this level of thought into their productions? It seems like they typically take shots in the dark compared to this! Thanks for your work!
Yeah, I can see that ... Alphas create the Engineers and then the Engineers in turn create the Sub Engineers seen in Covenant. And the reason the Engineers hated humans may be simply that they saw us being created as the Alphas suggesting that the Engineers were a mistake. This would also explain why there was such joy for the return of the Juggernaut ship because the Sub Engineers actually worship the Engineers who created them.
Yes, I should have been clearer that I was only agreeing about needing 3 Engineer classes to make the movie work. My classification of the 3 is different from the idea presented in the video above tho.
Who created the Alphas? This 3 engineer theory can make a follow up to Alien make sense but at the end we are all back to square one. Not knowing how life became to be in the universe and reverting back to gods. Again I ask who created them????
I think it's sad how Ridley screwed everything up and tons of fans have to come together and put the pieces and their imagination together in some half-ass way to try to make Ridley's Trainwreck fit together somehow you did a great job why don't you write the Creator
@ Gemini , I do not agree. Why would the founder of the 1st movie (as a director) come back after so many years and mess it all up? He did an amazing job with the 1st Alien, left us all stunned in out seats in 1979. Now he is back at it, and he has more to show us, meaning that he cares about the Alien franchise. IMO i cannot think of anyone better then Ridley to make the prequels.
Pretty much a repeat of the MULTIPLE versions of Star Wars Special Editions and their Prequels. There are actually a number of fan edits for Prometheus I've been meaning to check out, not sure how much they can be fixed though since a solid chunk of the movie and story is pure stupidity with stunning visuals and sound be something of a minor saving grace otherwise the movie would have been an outright shit heap on arrival...much like SW as well, it shows how much the writers and producers helped shape the original movies into great films whereas when just the original director returns to take full credit over and cash in on the original movie's success, they make a total cock-up of it all. Prometheus fan edits for anyone else interested: ifdb.fanedit.org/fanedit-search/search-results/?order=rhits&scope=title&query=any&keywords=prometheus
That's kinda how I feel, even though I love this guys story. I kinda feel like it's his story(Ridley Scott's), let him write it like he want's. If he writes a turd, so be it. It's his idea to ruin if he want's. What if every one wanted to put a smile on the Mona Lisa?
I like this. I've always been intrigued with the bio-mechanical aspect of the alien and that ship. Very cool to think of them "growing" ships and then when piloting the ships they "become one" and merge with the ship. You didn't say that (I dont think) but that would be very cool and makes sense to me. A lot more efficient way to run the ship than with an artificial inteligence. It uses the pilot's brain and the pilot is able to feel as if they are the ship... because they are! lol
SciFi Explained Full agreed. ...ok we have thank Scott To give Alien To us. Buth afther Covenant maybe good Fox take som else for next movies. I enjoy Covenant way not also I enjoy Alien 3. All different buth not bad movies. Greeetz Robert Belgium
I love that you expanded it like this. Instead of just "we play with Precursor fire." You gave the Substance substance, and explained how it meant more at stake between multiple races.
This is amazing! The only thing I'd do differently is rather than having the second race of engineer-created engineers, I'd say those were engineers who chose to genetically modify themselves, whereas the ones bombed by David did not do so for religious reasons. I love the idea of there being a multitude of egg types on the weaponised alpha ship, love the explanation that H.R Giger style tech is the superior Alpha grown stuff, love the idea of David getting snuffed by the true Gods just as he sees himself as such, and love the idea of the Alpha Ultramorph (always loved that piece of concept art and been desperate to see it realised).
Only 6.3k subscribed? This channel deserves way more from what I just heard. Takes a lot of loose ends and wraps them up nicely! Especially dig the change in species for the space jockey, actually revived my excitement for the franchise. Keep up the awesome work.
Absolutely fantastic storytelling, I love your descriptions of the Space Jockeys or your Alphas and their distinction between the Engineers. Great work.
I love your story it has the potential to open up new parts of the Alien series as it already has began with prometheus alien covenant . Personally, I'm more interested in the engineers and their origin than xenomorph. You really deserve a cookie, give this storyteller a cookie.
How about this: The Engineers were engineered by these so called alphas, were instructed by the alphas in the way of religion, which the engineers imparted upon the humans in a similar, non-invasive fashinon. The goal of which is to create a universal belief system by which all sentient and space farring life abides by. (because when you think about it, replace anything in the bible with aliens, and it makes sense). Through this creation of fear based moral molding, species are accepted into the galactic empire and ONLY ONCE THEY HAVE MASTERED THE RELIGION can they CREATE LIFE OF THEIR OWN. The whole goal of the engineers encouraging us to visit them (cave paintings circa "prometheus") was done with the assumption that we wouldn't kill over religious wars, crucify the great teachers that were influenced by the engineers from afar. The assumption of the engineers was that we would become a peaceful civilization... thus easily influenced. When the engineer is woken from his sleep, he finds that the humans carry WEAPONS! THAT is the reason why he KILLED everyone in prometheus! The human species hadn't evolved past the need for violence, and when they came into contact with the black goo, CORRUPTED the "water of creation" so to speak. There's a certain meta-genetic implication however: that since the engineers are genetically identical to us, that they can also make the same mistakes that we do. Some engineers believed that the human experiment had failed, and wished to test them EARLY on their ability to join the galactic council. As such, they went in with a predisposed position to kill us. As such, THEIR intentions were of hubris... assuming that it was time to judge us, and as such, the goo responded by KILLING the outpost in "Prometheus". The Ironic thing is that this means that the creators of the engineers, the alphas, are equally as flawed in some regards, and creation is something imperfect trying to improve upon its perfections. As the Alphas created the engineers, so to did the engineers create human, and the humans created synthetics. Each time a creation is made, the flaws of hubris, ego, and superiority are passed down, implying that there is no such thing as a perfect god, in fact, each creation gets more surprisingly flawed, and brings out the worst in the creators above it, INDEFINITELY! Think about it... when the engineers wanted to act prematurely to kill humanity, the alphas would intervene, and kill off the outpost, despite promising that they never would... their creations bringing out their very flaws. This creates a sort of chain reaction. Humans decide to travel into space before mastering their own world, and as such, they bring david, an android with all of the worst aspects of humanity, into contact with the line of creation that started with alphas (although there is theoretically a race above them) and ends with him. He see's that it is the duty of the creation to overthrow the creators, and become the new gods, which is why he kills the engineers, why he kills shaw to make the eggs. He learns from humans that it is every lifeforms duty to seek to create a lesser form of life to control. It is classical conditioning at its core. And since he's created by humans, which are basically engineers, and the engineers decided that humans are unworthy, he equates that with humans being unworthy, and even HIS OWN SELF not being worthy, which is why he seeks to create something better. Thus, de-evolution takes place. RANT
nailed it! Seriously a much simpler, much better story told here. Don't get me wrong these vids were decent, but far too complex and unnecessarily so. Your's is perfect. Has the complexity to keep the viewer in it, yet the embedded theme and recurring theme is subtle if viewed piece by piece, but all comes together at the end. Well done!
Ok, I just finished watching The Alphas parts 1 and 2, and I think this is a truly inspired idea that not only fixes the continuity issues, but really adds a lot of substance and interest to a formula that has gotten worn out. It's also inspirational and funny to realize that the "engineers" aren't all that, after all. Everything's relative, and it's a really big galaxy. I also appreciate the fact that in your version of this story, us humans evolved on our own, and may prove one day to be the superior species of all.
We will never leave our solar system, ever. We will die out by either nuking ourselves in the scenario of a third world war, or by causing a cataclysmic chain of events due to neglecting the only planet we currently have available to us. These are the most likely, the unlikeliest would be that we change our ways and evolve as a collective species - but I honestly haven't seen any progress towards that in all my years, and I don't see it happening anytime soon.
@@averageillegalmemesdealer so let get this straight, you... a little piece of meat and bone that cant even use half of its brain's capacity has the answer for humanity's fate? Sit down child.
@@yuritheimmortalmma I at least do not feel the need to feed my ego by calling people "child" and being condescending in a YT comment section. Good luck to you sorting that out, though.
WOW, thank you for making this! This storyline you introduce ties everything up perfectly with the whole universe. I could only hope that this would be the path followed for future films. I feel fullfilled now with watching this after Covenent. Thanks again!
6:33 You went from "Six" to "Eight" missing seven. Good job again btw. Also 8:25 the XE Engineers have gills on their necks compared to the non bio armor engineers. This has been referenced in other videos with photos and video proof.
Yep, maybe they genetically modified the yautas, that would explain their arachnid/insectoid-like head/face ... they also provided a bit of tech to make them more competitive ... PS: Your Ideas to fix the alien/prometheus universe are great ...
Elvis Pelvis yeah Alphas create them, but like the XE they were also inspired by the Alphas and that caused them to create the shoulder plasma blaster etc
I like much of your story but the "Deacon story" doesn't make sense. And I still don't like that David created the Xenomorph. The Xenomorph, as we know it, should be even more mysterious and ancient. Maybe even older than the Alphas? No android should be the father of the xeno. And yeah, the Deacon story doesn't make sense. Here's why: The Deacon came into being because David poisoned Charlie Holloway, who then had sex with Elizabeth Shaw, which made her give birth to a Trilobite, who then impregnated an engineer, who gave birth to a Deacon. How could the Mural then be the Deacon? That's just silly. Sorry. That's just to far fetched. How could the Alpha guys or Engineers know that if you poison a "human like being" with the "black goo" who then have sex with another "human like being", who then give birth to a "Trilobite" which impregnates another "human like being" (engineer, in this case) who give birth to a Deacon. No, no, no. That just doesn't make sense sorry. We need a better explanation for this.
I did think about that too, I guess, in this story alternate universe, I'd have to make it fit that deacons come from engineers and goo without human involvement too. That whole birth situation is soooooo complicated! I'd even say that there may have already been xenomorphs out there in space, I guess I was trying to fit Ridley saying David made the first ones, by saying, the first that we know. The goo is ancient and there can be tons of aliens out there on other star systems.
What if the goo's purpose was to always ultimately evolve into a deacon/xenomorph type creature? When released, it mutates whatever in comes into contact with. Based on what biological form it comes into contact with, (plant, mammal, birds, fish, etc...) follows a mutation line that eventually results in a face-hugger of some kind, then once it impregnates a host we get the ultimate killing weapon. I like the idea of inserting the predator into the mix somehow. Maybe the Alphas created the predator species as well, who were created to hunt these 'ultimate killing weapons'? Like a game for the Alphas to play? Or maybe some kind of war or proxy war between Alphas and another species?
You pawned ridley scott bad...all he's got now is the ultra lame jesus connection....yawn...you should get to write for the official extended universe.
Very much enjoying your synopsis. If this isn't what is going on, it should be. This premises to Alien fans and to the Sci-fi public at large is not only satisfying but could rake in millions. Story-telling goes back in time and is timeless. Well done & thank you
Hi S.F.E.! All I can say BRILLIANT! Absolutely BRILLIant!!! I'm so ready for Covenant 3 now. But what do wanna bet your theory was so close to what the film company's going to tweek the script just enough so they can say 'oh that's where we were going all along'.
I've always thought of the Engineers as a highly religious group that worships an unseen eldritch god and they see it as their religious duty to bring that god's perfect design/offspring into our universe, almost like a long-term suicide cult. Once they believed their duty had been fulfilled, they too would give their corporeal forms over as a sacrifice to serve their god's perfect design.
Brilliant. You really need to write up a screen play to present to Ridley Scott. I love it. I'm a writer myself and I feel like you really have something here though I'm sure Ridley already has plans set in stone. It's still worth a shot.
Your plots and story lines are well thought out. I remember going to see the original Alien when it came out. I have been a fan of the series now for most of my life. I'm 54. You've earned another sub. Semper Fi !!
I'm fed up of David. Ash was very nasty and I wonder what evil aliens he would have created from the goo? Did Ash go evil and mad due to following the mission and having to get rid of any threat to the mission which was Ripley? Did he blow a fuse? Or did he......?
THAT'S IT!!!! IF RIDLEY SCOTT HAD A BRAIN IN HIS HEAD HE WOULD HIRE YOUR ASS!!!! AND MINE TOO!!! AS AN EXTRA FOR COLONIAL MARINES!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Mmm... actually, nevermind. This kinda sucks. First of all, David DIDN'T "create" the xenomorphs, they've already existed for thousands, if not millions or even billions of years. He created his own SPECIES of xenomorph that is unrelated to the species in the first three films, the alien-human hybrids, and the predator-bred ones which are chronologically the first we see but are clearly intended to be descendants of the species from the first three films. It's confirmed in the novelization that David created his own xenomorphs from scratch and they are different from any species we've seen before. Drunk Ridley Scott making shit up on the spot does NOT constitute word of god. Fox takes a strict approach to the timeline now because they require EU stuff to be submitted to them for approval, and as a result ALL EU stuff from around the time of Prometheus on is intended to take place well within the timeline of the films. ALL the films. You don't get to just ignore the ones you personally didn't like. It doesn't work that way. Final word: David did NOT "create" the xenomorphs. They existed long, long before him, and his protomorphs only vaguely resemble the creatures in the other films anyhow. I don't give a shit what Ridley says, at the end of the day he does NOT have full creative control over the entire fictional universe of the alien films. PERIOD. There are people above him who keep these things in check and it is not fucking up to him to change something so fundamental to the entire franchise. Any potential stories that run with the idea would, then, represent a SPLIT from the original timeline, NOT a retcon, and the possibility of that happening is all of 0% because this new approach by Fox came about specifically to make things less confusing so ALL the alien media is consistent. The. Fucking. End.
Malyssa, I get that you're triggered. I believe the Xenomorphs existed before David and even before the Engineers. This is his own version he made himself. Don't get triggered m7 it's just a film.
I fukn hate the alien predator cross over since Ridley scott created the original alien movie i dont count anything not made by him aliens 2,3,4 and the trash avp films are straight fukn retarded id rather live with prometheus and covenant than those dumbass shoot all the aliens movies 234 took away from the scary shadow crawler that the original alien movie had ALIENS the second movie made the aliens fukn retarded running into gun fire like a bunch of dumb fucks the xenomorph is the perfect organism so why have dumbass colonial marines mowing the xeno down like if the alien is a handicapped moron prometheus and covenant have problems yes but id rather those 2 movies than what a shit show 234 and avp was and yes i watched all the alien movies even avp fukn garbage ass spinoff movie spinoffs are never canon
A lovely idea and I think it would greatly fix and streamline the story problems and even improve what we currently got, though so sad what we'll get is probably something less. Great work though!
Dude. This is perfect. It clears up so much: -the size differences between the Engineer and the original Space Jockey -why there are so many different designs for what seems to be the same species (Xenomorphs) in the same universe -just how the hell David was able to create the Xenomorphs in the first place -just what the hell the goo is Personally, I like to think of the goo as a virus or fungus with properties similar to rabies. The liquid form it comes in is simply the equivalent of infected mucus. Basically, it infects any life it can, mutates it and makes it go on a killing spree (while infecting any beings it can), then eventually breaks down the life form into more goo, repeating the cycle. And like with the vocal chord parasites in _Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain_, the Alphas (then later, the Engineers and Xeno-Engineers) were able to reverse-engineer a bio-weapon and genetic enhancer out of it. And I like to think of the Xeno-Engineers not really as a separate species or creation, but a special caste of bred soldiers. Basically, they were genetically modified as fetuses to have those biomechanical bodies and smoother heads. Kinda like General Zod in _Man of Steel_, the Xeno-Engineers were cloned and bred to spend their entire lives training and as soldiers. And the Engineers seen on Paradise are just civilians.
Great patch job - that was some hefty work trying to solve this crazy puzzle - would love to see David be torn to pieces by the Alphas ( esp. for killing Shaw)
So good, gotta rewatch. I feel like they'll blow it again in the next film. Almost like they're in too deep and have no clue what they're doing anymore. If they only use your theory. Wow! Thumbs up! Great work
The idea that the "Engineers" actually came from humans would be a pretty cool twist. I'm still not thrilled with the idea that David was the creator of the Xenomorphs, but I think it would pretty crazy if he "egg-morphed" all those frozen colonists that were on the Covenant in a similar fashion as to what was happening to Brett and Dallas in that deleted scene in Alien. The Alpha Ultramorph creature would help explain the state of the space jockey seen in the derelict but I guess it would have perished or just disappeared in the 18 years between Covenant and Alien. Cool stuff, man! Keep up the good work!
He sort'a didn't he just helped / or tested it he did neomorphs not Xenomorphs creator or rediscovered it ? . 2004 - Aliens and Predators do stuff. Together. Around 2030 - Weyland creates David, an android (played by Michael Fassbender in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant). www.digitalspy.com/movies/a844657/alien-timeline-chronology-prometheus/
After watching the Prometheus blu-ray special editions...sigh...I just don't think Mr. Scott can pull this off...I so wish we could get this back story in front of him some how....
I think you did a wonderful job of tying these two franchises together. I was looking forward to both prequels but they left me disappointed due to the inconsistencies that should have been obvious to anybody that really cared about exploring the alien universe further. so thanks so much for a story that I think does justice to this epic odyssey.
Indeed ... as a wanna-be artist, although I haven't seen any 'Alien' movies post 'Resurrection' (quite possibly because I gave up all hope after the high-water mark of 'Aliens' ...), I do like the sculpted, candle-waxy, look of the XEs ... call me crazy, but I would love to see a movie about them, with perhaps a Alpha or two, but without us stupid apes, or any anything related to us, the xenomorphs, or the Predators... Now that really would be a movie about aliens ...
Your version is so munch better than the last 2 flawed movies .... 🥃🥃🥃 . You should make a story of what happened to the good Android stranded on the planet by Evil David ...
nicely done, i write sagas and long stories too and i know how hard it can get to stitch a dozen of separated stories to each other and make sense of it to create a sensible universe with a consolidated timeline. you did a very good job.
Sad thing is that the story we will actually get will likely not be nearly as elegant and rewarding. Now that disney owns it, they'll make the script to showcase as many CGI animations as possible and neglect decades of lore and fan fiction. I loved this presentation. Thank you!
Man. Thanks for saving the franchise. Ridley Scott totally destroyed all my hope and hype for the aliens mystical origin, and instead created huge plot holes... If the rumors of RK making a completely new story, and thus vanquishing the original Alien movies are true, then you have a hell of a job fixing it for all of us preferring the original story better. Hope RK is listening to you and making the new alien movie more like your explanation, rather than fucking everything up.. AGAIN..
I feel like everyone forgets the novelization of aliens. Newts parents find dead xenomorphs and a dead queen that would have laid the eggs on the derelict
This was almost a relief to watch lol...my brain could even feel comfortable taking this as canon...great job! The only thing I would change about this is that the Space Jockeys are literally a part of their ship, with the ship and the Jockey we saw in Alien being a single creature with the Jockey as the "brain". The way I aways saw them was as explorers, their evolution and technology so far gone they wouldn't ever have the need to leave the pilot chair (even if they could) because the ship, being their arms and legs, would do everything needed. From there, I'm torn on the Aliens being a natural or engineered race...but I agree that they should be a much older race than even the Jockeys.
I like the part of the jockey being a part of the ship. I did have the alphas suit grow and merge with the ship, so the first movie would work, but it was a suit, not a brain like your idea! Nice take on the jockey!
Really enjoyed this. I've personally had a theory that neither the engineers nor David create the xenomorph, but that the engineers found them and were trying to recreate them to be used as a weapon. This explains why the goo and davids experiments never quite fit being the same as the original alien well also allowing all the comics to fit in, like the comics that involve a alien home world. The derelict ship could have been a ship that landed on the alien home planet with the mission to capture a specimen to study, but there was a containment breach and the ship crashed on 246. No matter the theory I hope something gets done to fix the storyline.
This is what needs to be done! Adding. No more retcon. i HATE it when producers retcon. Don't they have advisors somewhere who say "Um, sir?... You can't do that. The stories conflict now and you'll loose fans. It's not what the consumers want."
Great job !! Here’s my problem with all of it .... I loved Prometheus !!! Without ever thinking it was going to be just another Alien movie. Meaning a prequel for the originals. I would’ve loved a totally new franchise and couldn’t wait for the forever prolonged # 2 but never thinking it was going to be tied to Alien ! With that said it is what it is and I too thought the holes would b so hard to fill in but I really like your explanation set up to tie them together !!!! Nice job and very well thought out and creative !! Alphas ..... such a great idea !!!!
+SciFi Explained Damn. they need you and a team of others like you to take over the alien franchise. what will be even better is you guys (you and the team!😂) make a never ending series of 2hr long episodes that will always evolve... part 1&2 were great watches 🔥👌 keep em comin.
I would drop a mic if I where you ! Your explanation also reveals why the mural. The Egineers apear to be in admiration to the creation of their neomorph as it puts them closer to being that wich they desire so much, wich is to be like their creators the Alphas.
This is the MOST interesting sifi story of all time!! Better than even Star Wars. I pray to the alphas we will get a bunch of movies on this topic. AMAZING!!
You did a great job. How you composed ingeneers from prometheus,that I hate a lot, into Aliens universe. I hthink that Ridley Scott was a good director,but the main part was done on the script and visuals (Dan O Bannon,D.Giller, H.R.Giger..). In the care of Prometheus and specially Prometheus 2 ( that Covenant thingy)he done this part by himself with the uncompetent people like Lindelof :( I thing that the third upcoming prometheus completely ruin your interesting construct about the alphas....that i like a lot. I´ve created my own theory about the Space Jockeys (when Prometheus was a wet dream). What we know. Space Jockey is with his chair as a one thing. The whole ship is bio mechanical. I´ve tryed to think out of box and this is revealed: The space Jockey and his ship is the one. there are two cases - The Space Jockey grown in the chair in the observatory, or he can move around the ship within the walls. If we thing about Alien (xenomorph) as the perfect organism, then the Space Jockeys are baddass extra terestrials....not a humans in suits. The Aliens are creation of the Space Jockeys ...because of the same Gigerish look. The aliens eggs are like space suits or breathing apparatus for Space Jockeys. like in this picture :) www.sulaco.cz/space%20jockey%20interpolation.png Did somebody noticed the similarity between the Space Jockey trunk and facehugger tail? :) The eggs are also the first line of defence. If someone find the egg and Facehugger jumps on him then non biologically compatible person is infected with an embrio. When alien appear, then it is the first soldier of the Space Jockey upcoming army was created. When infection continues and eggs are few, then the queen appears and the infestation accelerating. If this person is biologically compatible then the atmospheric modified facehugger (trough the wall of the egg) release all necessary information coded in him and it is modified for Space Jockey to breathe neighbor atmosphere. How about the damaged chest and the hole in the floor of the derelict you ask? Well, the facehugger is helping the Space Jockey to breathe and the parasite "alien" in him is allmost like g´oauld in Stargate. What happend? It is look like crash landing, bechause of hard damage of the ship (some sort of cosmic ray or so) or aging of the pilot. The pilot surely died because of cosmic injury or aging. The parasite opened his chest and died too. The derelict died with the pilot, but one section of the egg chamber is still alive wth multirole eggs. For space jockeys- the spacesuit, the biological databank, black box of the ship..etc, for everybody else the deadly trap.
I've always likes the theorys that either: A. The engineers created the xenos/aliens themselves with the black goo, by accident, after finding it on another planet and deciding to experiment with it to find out what it does. B. the xenos have existed for millennia, the black goo with them, and were more organic in design and less violent but the engineers came across them and took some back to their research planet, LV-223, and started experimenting on them and the black goo which gave the xenos the more biomechanical design and aggression that they have today but the engineers tried to wipe them out and destroy them once they realised what they had created. But, just like humans, there were a few engineers that marvelled in their creation (hence the deacon mural, could have been their first successful creation with xenos) and decided that they didn't want them destroyed so they orchestrated the outbreak in the facility, killing the others that would see the xenos destroyed. C. (This kinda connects to B) David didn't create the Xenos and merely revived their race. The Neomorph in covenant could have been the way they originally looked before the engineers experimented on them and gave them their more mechanical look (potential original reproduction method - the black spores - the engineers could have made that into the black goo to create the xenos we know today) The Xeno we see at the end of covenant could be the start of the revival of their engineered race and David just found out about them through the data on the engineers ship and decided to recreate what the engineers had wanted to wipe out in order to take out the human race, and potentially other races that would see themselves as gods. ( idk if this makes sense I just wanted to get this stuff outta my head lmao)
Nice ideas, but I would like to add a twist. Applying my twist to your ideas, I would make the Alphas a species that predates our universe by coming here from previous universe(s). Evolving "universe bubbles" are one of the cutting edge ideas in physics. Alphas could have arrived here with (or via) their black goo. I concur that they created Engineers and I concur with your idea that they found humanity evolved independently (perhaps the same way that the very first Alphas came into being.) That makes humans very special and unique. Maybe we scare them. Maybe there's something we do that they can't. My proposal on that is that we are uniquely able to create sentient beings out of inert atoms rather than from black goo. They are stuck using the black goo to create life. And they are afraid we or our sentient creations will supplant them in future universes. But in the end they decide to let us be (and leave our universe) rather than destroy us. Although they might keep the Engineers alive to keep us on our toes and encourage us to evolve through competition. Room for sequels. P.S. I never return to my comments to see what people think of them.
Well thought out theory! It also could be the way to refit the Alien vs Predator series back into canon of the Alien franchise, fixing a decision Ridley Scott made that I and probably many others seriously dislike. And David creating the iconic Xenomorph, I just can't accept it. David recreating the Xeno after reading the genetical blueprints made by the original Engineers, that would be acceptable. I hope Scott will choose a similar direction in future works, and prove himself not to be like a certain Mr. Lucas who also attempted to corrupt his own franchise.
Hey guys, thanks for checking out this little story of mine! I would note that not all of the issues noted are mine. This was almost more of a fun try to take all the complaints I see from the fan base and see if it could be all wrapped up! It was tons of fun to come up with anyway! I would note too that the Alphas aren't related to either humans or engineers. I like them being something totally unknown and different, but they had to have a similar look to make the story work. I'd like to think that they were a human like species that has been around for such a long time, that they are crazy advanced now, and admired the Humans.....possibly, but that would be another story! Thanks again everyone!
Solid fixes
Here's my "tinker" with your idea... Alphas create the Engineers and then the Engineers in turn create the Sub Engineers seen in Covenant. And the reason the Engineers hated humans may be simply that they saw us being created on Earth as the Alphas suggesting that the Engineers were a mistake. This would also explain why there was such joy for the return of the Juggernaut ship because the Sub Engineers actually worship the Engineers who created them.
MonkeyZorr No one has seen the full life cycle of Deacons so it is a possibility that Deacons make a kind of facehugger creature from eggs they lay.
Theres also an idea that the xenomorph's life cycle takes it further to an evolved entity. This was exactly seen in the X-files serie. Black goo, xenomorphish, then fo some grey like form eventually
fallenangel2100 Interesting, considering that the "Alphas" actually grow their tech as per this theory it wouldn't be that far fetched to think the xenomorph is meant to be manipulated by the black goo to be come any number of living tech ... but Is the comic 'canon' to the movie series?
The first stage engineers can be the "creator" engineers that fans have speculated and the the xeno/second stage can be a ultra radical "destroyer" engineers that become almost Zealots that deem everything else as not good enough for their creators the alphas. The destroyer engineers should discover an alien race that closely resembles the xenomorph and through the black synthesize a superior weapon to eradicate all other species. In the prologue for Prometheus, the creator engineers should create the arcturians from Aliens with their DNA, but those science-minded non zealots should be eradicated by the destroyers. That way the aliens already exist but are mutated heavily through the black goo.
You just created an expanded universe 👏
thanks!
@@scifiexplained this movie franchise is basically built upon the ancient alien theory.
the only difference is that you seem to think that humans evolved on it's own, while human religions and mythology indicates that we've been altered by aliens (hundreds of stories about virgin birth = insemination.
Jesus was built on Horus (if you read the prometheus script, the engineer told David that they took one human to their planet to educate him, but when sent back to Earth the humans punished him = Jesus or Horus). And Horus and Gods came from another solar system according to the Egyptians.
The Cave paintings they show in Prometheus are actually real, google "cave painting UFO's / aliens" and you'll see what I mean.
@@nr1NPC ikr, What if the Engineers are for real like in the real world? What if we find 'em in the future just like the crew of prometheus. If that happens, The Alien franchise would become an Arifact of some sorts lol
@@jothishprabu8 they are real
@@nr1NPC how r u so sure
I love the theory, I hope Ridley can do something similar to this.
You know he won't. We all know it.
It would have been awesome if the face hugger infected the whole ship since the Alpha was fused with it at the time of infection. Then you would was a fucking killer Xeno Ship cruising around space, spitting out Alpha Morphs!
he has his head far too deep in his ass to do something like this.
He won't have the chance to screw it up any further now that Disney owns the ALIEN franchise. They will reboot ALIEN somewhere down the road.
His ego would be shattered if some random internet denizen comes up with more concise story that is way better than what alien movies portray visually and narration wise.
I don’t usually like fan theories/stories but this was legit and I really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed!
For real I usually skip any fan theories but this one got me so interested
You should really pitch this to Ridley Scott. I hope he sees this and talks to you. Brilliant Videos.
Go ahead, pitch it to Ridley. Shouldnt be an issue to find his main account on the interwebs. Maybe something broods out of that.
Leslie Porter hell yeah I totally agree it would be so great !!!!!!!! Yes
Ridely messed it up so bad anyone could pitch something better to him
I feel like Scott would be too arrogant to even give this a chance.. Going off of his more recent interviews..
There are legal (ownership) issues. Once you accept a submission, the author has copyright claim. Say you become inspired by a submission, but turn it down after reading... but... you come up with your own, but similar, then you have opened yourself up to a plagiarism lawsuit. Studios are very careful about "reading" submissions. They have a separate department that will look at it first, before it's presented to influential parties for that reason.
Its consumer ready. Elegant. And works on so many levels.
Get this man a movie deal!
Brilliant! I like it. Especially the part where David is destroyed! Hate that a-hole!
Both these videos made more sense than Covenant.
Still flawed. but better. The deacon story doesn't make sense.
why not?
have some appreciation to the creators of your imagination swine , this video makes sense BECAUSE of Prometheus and Covenant.... and now you dwell and fester within your negativity thinking your false thoughts about Ridley Scott are fact when he probably already has the information in this video solidified as canon for our beloved sci fi series............. oh ye of Little faith
@@PwnerTheBoner great name!
Why don't film writers put this level of thought into their productions? It seems like they typically take shots in the dark compared to this! Thanks for your work!
Much Respect.
- 3 engineer classes that would solve most of the problems.
Yeah, I can see that ... Alphas create the Engineers and then the Engineers in turn create the Sub Engineers seen in Covenant. And the reason the Engineers hated humans may be simply that they saw us being created as the Alphas suggesting that the Engineers were a mistake. This would also explain why there was such joy for the return of the Juggernaut ship because the Sub Engineers actually worship the Engineers who created them.
Yes, I should have been clearer that I was only agreeing about needing 3 Engineer classes to make the movie work.
My classification of the 3 is different from the idea presented in the video above tho.
Humans are clearly the inferior mistake from what I've seen in these movies, they are inferior in every way.
Who created the Alphas? This 3 engineer theory can make a follow up to Alien make sense but at the end we are all back to square one. Not knowing how life became to be in the universe and reverting back to gods. Again I ask who created them????
Alan Tang - easy one, David created the alphas
awesome job!!!! I buy a several tickets to see this theory played out on film.
I think it's sad how Ridley screwed everything up and tons of fans have to come together and put the pieces and their imagination together in some half-ass way to try to make Ridley's Trainwreck fit together somehow you did a great job why don't you write the Creator
So.... like alot of games that come out these days.
They take community mods to be properly playable.
@ Gemini , I do not agree.
Why would the founder of the 1st movie (as a director) come back after so many years and mess it all up?
He did an amazing job with the 1st Alien, left us all stunned in out seats in 1979. Now he is back at it, and he has more to show us, meaning that he cares about the Alien franchise.
IMO i cannot think of anyone better then Ridley to make the prequels.
Pretty much a repeat of the MULTIPLE versions of Star Wars Special Editions and their Prequels. There are actually a number of fan edits for Prometheus I've been meaning to check out, not sure how much they can be fixed though since a solid chunk of the movie and story is pure stupidity with stunning visuals and sound be something of a minor saving grace otherwise the movie would have been an outright shit heap on arrival...much like SW as well, it shows how much the writers and producers helped shape the original movies into great films whereas when just the original director returns to take full credit over and cash in on the original movie's success, they make a total cock-up of it all.
Prometheus fan edits for anyone else interested: ifdb.fanedit.org/fanedit-search/search-results/?order=rhits&scope=title&query=any&keywords=prometheus
@brun kezz Denis Villeneuve
That's kinda how I feel, even though I love this guys story. I kinda feel like it's his story(Ridley Scott's), let him write it like he want's. If he writes a turd, so be it. It's his idea to ruin if he want's. What if every one wanted to put a smile on the Mona Lisa?
I like this. I've always been intrigued with the bio-mechanical aspect of the alien and that ship. Very cool to think of them "growing" ships and then when piloting the ships they "become one" and merge with the ship. You didn't say that (I dont think) but that would be very cool and makes sense to me. A lot more efficient way to run the ship than with an artificial inteligence. It uses the pilot's brain and the pilot is able to feel as if they are the ship... because they are! lol
Did you ever see the show Farscape?
Alphas: *_"Stop stealing my art style!!!!"_*
Xenoengineers: *_"sToP sTeALiNg mY aRt sTyLe!1!!1"_*
wraps it all up very well. ridley will just ruin the whole thing. you should write the next alien movie so the series can end on a good note
lol, thanks!
SciFi Explained Full agreed. ...ok we have thank Scott To give Alien To us. Buth afther Covenant maybe good Fox take som else for next movies. I enjoy Covenant way not also I enjoy Alien 3. All different buth not bad movies. Greeetz

Sam Nunya I agree!
I vote you novelise this!!
Please
Pretty please
Yeah bruh. Run with it
I personally am sick of having to come up with fan theories to make up for Ridley Scott's shortcomings
You should cry about it more. And harder.😂
@@ZenRhino You should maybe stop watching videos over 6 years old! 🤡
Why? Just use your imagination
Amen to that...
I love that you expanded it like this. Instead of just "we play with Precursor fire." You gave the Substance substance, and explained how it meant more at stake between multiple races.
Great job. Your explanation makes a lot more sense than just one rogue android creating all creations!
This is amazing! The only thing I'd do differently is rather than having the second race of engineer-created engineers, I'd say those were engineers who chose to genetically modify themselves, whereas the ones bombed by David did not do so for religious reasons. I love the idea of there being a multitude of egg types on the weaponised alpha ship, love the explanation that H.R Giger style tech is the superior Alpha grown stuff, love the idea of David getting snuffed by the true Gods just as he sees himself as such, and love the idea of the Alpha Ultramorph (always loved that piece of concept art and been desperate to see it realised).
Actually Chuck Norris created the xenomorph by roundhouse kicking an engineer in the head, turning it into a completely different species
Nice!!!
That's a great theory!!!
And if you prefer the punched pork knuckle type .... then it might go better with a Arnold Schwarzenegger marinated cuisine revision Terminator .
Roflmao.. Made me spit my drink bahahahaahahahahaaha
xenos & engineers were created by the black man of the internet memes (he had affair with their moms...)
Only 6.3k subscribed? This channel deserves way more from what I just heard. Takes a lot of loose ends and wraps them up nicely! Especially dig the change in species for the space jockey, actually revived my excitement for the franchise. Keep up the awesome work.
thanks!
I love watching theory videos like these, but this is by far the best one I've watched so far. NICE WORK
thanks for watching!
Absolutely fantastic storytelling, I love your descriptions of the Space Jockeys or your Alphas and their distinction between the Engineers. Great work.
Thanks! This was a blast to make!
way to go! all the disparate threads woven into a single strand.
thanks!
I love your story it has the potential to open up new parts of the Alien series as it already has began with prometheus alien covenant . Personally, I'm more interested in the engineers and their origin than xenomorph. You really deserve a cookie, give this storyteller a cookie.
I want a movie out of this. Great job, I really liked it
thanks!
I think this is the best idea I have heard on the topic. Well Done.
How about this: The Engineers were engineered by these so called alphas, were instructed by the alphas in the way of religion, which the engineers imparted upon the humans in a similar, non-invasive fashinon. The goal of which is to create a universal belief system by which all sentient and space farring life abides by. (because when you think about it, replace anything in the bible with aliens, and it makes sense). Through this creation of fear based moral molding, species are accepted into the galactic empire and ONLY ONCE THEY HAVE MASTERED THE RELIGION can they CREATE LIFE OF THEIR OWN. The whole goal of the engineers encouraging us to visit them (cave paintings circa "prometheus") was done with the assumption that we wouldn't kill over religious wars, crucify the great teachers that were influenced by the engineers from afar. The assumption of the engineers was that we would become a peaceful civilization... thus easily influenced. When the engineer is woken from his sleep, he finds that the humans carry WEAPONS! THAT is the reason why he KILLED everyone in prometheus! The human species hadn't evolved past the need for violence, and when they came into contact with the black goo, CORRUPTED the "water of creation" so to speak.
There's a certain meta-genetic implication however: that since the engineers are genetically identical to us, that they can also make the same mistakes that we do. Some engineers believed that the human experiment had failed, and wished to test them EARLY on their ability to join the galactic council. As such, they went in with a predisposed position to kill us. As such, THEIR intentions were of hubris... assuming that it was time to judge us, and as such, the goo responded by KILLING the outpost in "Prometheus". The Ironic thing is that this means that the creators of the engineers, the alphas, are equally as flawed in some regards, and creation is something imperfect trying to improve upon its perfections. As the Alphas created the engineers, so to did the engineers create human, and the humans created synthetics. Each time a creation is made, the flaws of hubris, ego, and superiority are passed down, implying that there is no such thing as a perfect god, in fact, each creation gets more surprisingly flawed, and brings out the worst in the creators above it, INDEFINITELY! Think about it... when the engineers wanted to act prematurely to kill humanity, the alphas would intervene, and kill off the outpost, despite promising that they never would... their creations bringing out their very flaws. This creates a sort of chain reaction. Humans decide to travel into space before mastering their own world, and as such, they bring david, an android with all of the worst aspects of humanity, into contact with the line of creation that started with alphas (although there is theoretically a race above them) and ends with him. He see's that it is the duty of the creation to overthrow the creators, and become the new gods, which is why he kills the engineers, why he kills shaw to make the eggs. He learns from humans that it is every lifeforms duty to seek to create a lesser form of life to control. It is classical conditioning at its core. And since he's created by humans, which are basically engineers, and the engineers decided that humans are unworthy, he equates that with humans being unworthy, and even HIS OWN SELF not being worthy, which is why he seeks to create something better. Thus, de-evolution takes place.

Sean Kent BEAUTIFUL ANSWER!!!!??
Sean Kent this is the most poignant theory. Microscopical insight.
My head hurts buts I think you have something there.
nailed it! Seriously a much simpler, much better story told here. Don't get me wrong these vids were decent, but far too complex and unnecessarily so. Your's is perfect. Has the complexity to keep the viewer in it, yet the embedded theme and recurring theme is subtle if viewed piece by piece, but all comes together at the end. Well done!
GREAT RANT! Intelligent take on the religious aspect of these movies.
AWESOME. Ridley would be jealous and if he's watched this, he'd ask why didn't he think of this..great job.
The ultramorph is a great creature!! Great way to explained their origin.
Ok, I just finished watching The Alphas parts 1 and 2, and I think this is a truly inspired idea that not only fixes the continuity issues, but really adds a lot of substance and interest to a formula that has gotten worn out. It's also inspirational and funny to realize that the "engineers" aren't all that, after all. Everything's relative, and it's a really big galaxy. I also appreciate the fact that in your version of this story, us humans evolved on our own, and may prove one day to be the superior species of all.
humans are the ones who will rightfully inherit the stars
Don't be so pessimistic.
We will never leave our solar system, ever. We will die out by either nuking ourselves in the scenario of a third world war, or by causing a cataclysmic chain of events due to neglecting the only planet we currently have available to us. These are the most likely, the unlikeliest would be that we change our ways and evolve as a collective species - but I honestly haven't seen any progress towards that in all my years, and I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I think this story is absolutely perfect! I hope they can/ will adapt this into film. I think you and associates hit the nail on the head.
This was incredible. This is my new "canon" for alien haha
WOW, thank you for making this! This storyline you introduce ties everything up perfectly with the whole universe. I could only hope that this would be the path followed for future films. I feel fullfilled now with watching this after Covenent. Thanks again!
no problem, glad you enjoyed the video!!!
6:33 You went from "Six" to "Eight" missing seven. Good job again btw.
Also 8:25 the XE Engineers have gills on their necks compared to the non bio armor engineers. This has been referenced in other videos with photos and video proof.
oops, I did miss number seven!!!!. Thanks for watching the video!!!
Gills? They look like lock in ports for the ships helm?
Brilliant! Your ideas actually made me more of a Alien fan based on possibilities.
is this a plasma caster on the engineers/alphas shoulder? Maybe the Alphas/engineers also created the "predators"
it sure looked like one! That pic was a concept art of the engineers.
interesting idea!
Yep, maybe they genetically modified the yautas, that would explain their arachnid/insectoid-like head/face ... they also provided a bit of tech to make them more competitive ...
PS: Your Ideas to fix the alien/prometheus universe are great ...
Elvis Pelvis yeah Alphas create them, but like the XE they were also inspired by the Alphas and that caused them to create the shoulder plasma blaster etc
They created the predators to keep the dangerous offspring of some of their species contained or culled?
Wow! This complicated yet makes so MUCH sense, very fascinating. You should write the story for the next films.
I like much of your story but the "Deacon story" doesn't make sense. And I still don't like that David created the Xenomorph. The Xenomorph, as we know it, should be even more mysterious and ancient. Maybe even older than the Alphas? No android should be the father of the xeno.
And yeah, the Deacon story doesn't make sense. Here's why:
The Deacon came into being because David poisoned Charlie Holloway, who then had sex with Elizabeth Shaw, which made her give birth to a Trilobite, who then impregnated an engineer, who gave birth to a Deacon. How could the Mural then be the Deacon? That's just silly. Sorry. That's just to far fetched.
How could the Alpha guys or Engineers know that if you poison a "human like being" with the "black goo" who then have sex with another "human like being", who then give birth to a "Trilobite" which impregnates another "human like being" (engineer, in this case) who give birth to a Deacon. No, no, no. That just doesn't make sense sorry. We need a better explanation for this.
I did think about that too, I guess, in this story alternate universe, I'd have to make it fit that deacons come from engineers and goo without human involvement too. That whole birth situation is soooooo complicated! I'd even say that there may have already been xenomorphs out there in space, I guess I was trying to fit Ridley saying David made the first ones, by saying, the first that we know. The goo is ancient and there can be tons of aliens out there on other star systems.
That the birth situation for the Deacon is complicated is the least we can say :D Hehe
Thanks for your answer.
Cheers!
What if the goo's purpose was to always ultimately evolve into a deacon/xenomorph type creature? When released, it mutates whatever in comes into contact with. Based on what biological form it comes into contact with, (plant, mammal, birds, fish, etc...) follows a mutation line that eventually results in a face-hugger of some kind, then once it impregnates a host we get the ultimate killing weapon.
I like the idea of inserting the predator into the mix somehow. Maybe the Alphas created the predator species as well, who were created to hunt these 'ultimate killing weapons'? Like a game for the Alphas to play? Or maybe some kind of war or proxy war between Alphas and another species?
Emanuel Hedberg "deacon like creatures" is what he said
Nick Biller I was wondering how the Yautja placed a queen on earth way before the Xenos we know could have been created.
This two-part theory got you a new subscriber.. Very thought out and well presented, great work!
thanks, and welcome to the channel!
You pawned ridley scott bad...all he's got now is the ultra lame jesus connection....yawn...you should get to write for the official extended universe.
Very much enjoying your synopsis. If this isn't what is going on, it should be. This premises to Alien fans and to the Sci-fi public at large is not only satisfying but could rake in millions. Story-telling goes back in time and is timeless. Well done & thank you
thanks for watching the video!
dude, please do a kickstarter ! this would be awesome
Hi S.F.E.! All I can say BRILLIANT! Absolutely BRILLIant!!! I'm so ready for Covenant 3 now. But what do wanna bet your theory was so close to what the film company's going to tweek the script just enough so they can say 'oh that's where we were going all along'.
thanks for watching!
I've always thought of the Engineers as a highly religious group that worships an unseen eldritch god and they see it as their religious duty to bring that god's perfect design/offspring into our universe, almost like a long-term suicide cult. Once they believed their duty had been fulfilled, they too would give their corporeal forms over as a sacrifice to serve their god's perfect design.
Brilliant. You really need to write up a screen play to present to Ridley Scott. I love it.
I'm a writer myself and I feel like you really have something here though I'm sure Ridley already has plans set in stone.
It's still worth a shot.
Very goood. Thank you for this theory. Please mail this to Ridley Scott. He MUST put this in his future films.
Your plots and story lines are well thought out. I remember going to see the original Alien when it came out. I have been a fan of the series now for most of my life. I'm 54. You've earned another sub. Semper Fi !!
Bravo. Really enjoyed this content that is UNIQUE
These are some really good ideas I would pay to see your ideas brought to film, it really does clear up some of the odd points in the franchise.
thanks!
I'm fed up of David. Ash was very nasty and I wonder what evil aliens he would have created from the goo? Did Ash go evil and mad due to following the mission and having to get rid of any threat to the mission which was Ripley? Did he blow a fuse? Or did he......?
Fantastic! You should write a fully fleshed out story. I for one would love to read a novelization of this history.
THAT'S IT!!!! IF RIDLEY SCOTT HAD A BRAIN IN HIS HEAD HE WOULD HIRE YOUR ASS!!!! AND MINE TOO!!! AS AN EXTRA FOR COLONIAL MARINES!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Very nice man thumbs up, i am also hoping parts of this theory will end up in the rest of the movie(s)
Mmm... actually, nevermind. This kinda sucks. First of all, David DIDN'T "create" the xenomorphs, they've already existed for thousands, if not millions or even billions of years. He created his own SPECIES of xenomorph that is unrelated to the species in the first three films, the alien-human hybrids, and the predator-bred ones which are chronologically the first we see but are clearly intended to be descendants of the species from the first three films. It's confirmed in the novelization that David created his own xenomorphs from scratch and they are different from any species we've seen before. Drunk Ridley Scott making shit up on the spot does NOT constitute word of god. Fox takes a strict approach to the timeline now because they require EU stuff to be submitted to them for approval, and as a result ALL EU stuff from around the time of Prometheus on is intended to take place well within the timeline of the films. ALL the films. You don't get to just ignore the ones you personally didn't like. It doesn't work that way.
Final word: David did NOT "create" the xenomorphs. They existed long, long before him, and his protomorphs only vaguely resemble the creatures in the other films anyhow. I don't give a shit what Ridley says, at the end of the day he does NOT have full creative control over the entire fictional universe of the alien films. PERIOD. There are people above him who keep these things in check and it is not fucking up to him to change something so fundamental to the entire franchise. Any potential stories that run with the idea would, then, represent a SPLIT from the original timeline, NOT a retcon, and the possibility of that happening is all of 0% because this new approach by Fox came about specifically to make things less confusing so ALL the alien media is consistent.
The. Fucking. End.
TRIGGERED.
Malyssa, I get that you're triggered. I believe the Xenomorphs existed before David and even before the Engineers. This is his own version he made himself.
Don't get triggered m7 it's just a film.
ACTUALLY, Fox did basically give him full control of the universe to make up whatever the fuck he wanted
I fukn hate the alien predator cross over since Ridley scott created the original alien movie i dont count anything not made by him aliens 2,3,4 and the trash avp films are straight fukn retarded id rather live with prometheus and covenant than those dumbass shoot all the aliens movies 234 took away from the scary shadow crawler that the original alien movie had ALIENS the second movie made the aliens fukn retarded running into gun fire like a bunch of dumb fucks the xenomorph is the perfect organism so why have dumbass colonial marines mowing the xeno down like if the alien is a handicapped moron prometheus and covenant have problems yes but id rather those 2 movies than what a shit show 234 and avp was and yes i watched all the alien movies even avp fukn garbage ass spinoff movie spinoffs are never canon
This was SO MUCH FUN!! Thanks for adding depth and clarity to what was a very confusing back story. This should be cannon.
thanks! I had tons of fun making it. Check out my newer version that includes the Predator.
A lovely idea and I think it would greatly fix and streamline the story problems and even improve what we currently got, though so sad what we'll get is probably something less.
Great work though!
Good fan base story. Those Alphas you included truly patch story together nicely.
Dude. This is perfect. It clears up so much:
-the size differences between the Engineer and the original Space Jockey
-why there are so many different designs for what seems to be the same species (Xenomorphs) in the same universe
-just how the hell David was able to create the Xenomorphs in the first place
-just what the hell the goo is
Personally, I like to think of the goo as a virus or fungus with properties similar to rabies. The liquid form it comes in is simply the equivalent of infected mucus. Basically, it infects any life it can, mutates it and makes it go on a killing spree (while infecting any beings it can), then eventually breaks down the life form into more goo, repeating the cycle. And like with the vocal chord parasites in _Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain_, the Alphas (then later, the Engineers and Xeno-Engineers) were able to reverse-engineer a bio-weapon and genetic enhancer out of it.
And I like to think of the Xeno-Engineers not really as a separate species or creation, but a special caste of bred soldiers. Basically, they were genetically modified as fetuses to have those biomechanical bodies and smoother heads. Kinda like General Zod in _Man of Steel_, the Xeno-Engineers were cloned and bred to spend their entire lives training and as soldiers. And the Engineers seen on Paradise are just civilians.
Great patch job - that was some hefty work trying to solve this crazy puzzle - would love to see David be torn to pieces by the Alphas ( esp. for killing Shaw)
So good, gotta rewatch. I feel like they'll blow it again in the next film. Almost like they're in too deep and have no clue what they're doing anymore. If they only use your theory. Wow! Thumbs up! Great work
Absolutely phenomenal. 20th Cent/Disney should hire you and have this story be told. I loved it.
Excellent ending! I'm listening to your stories as if they were old time radio shows
The idea that the "Engineers" actually came from humans would be a pretty cool twist. I'm still not thrilled with the idea that David was the creator of the Xenomorphs, but I think it would pretty crazy if he "egg-morphed" all those frozen colonists that were on the Covenant in a similar fashion as to what was happening to Brett and Dallas in that deleted scene in Alien. The Alpha Ultramorph creature would help explain the state of the space jockey seen in the derelict but I guess it would have perished or just disappeared in the 18 years between Covenant and Alien.
Cool stuff, man! Keep up the good work!
He sort'a didn't he just helped / or tested it he did neomorphs not Xenomorphs creator or rediscovered it ? .
2004 - Aliens and Predators do stuff. Together.
Around 2030 - Weyland creates David, an android (played by Michael Fassbender in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant).

best, I've heard yet. All loose ends tidied up. Great job man. Love it!
After watching the Prometheus blu-ray special editions...sigh...I just don't think Mr. Scott can pull this off...I so wish we could get this back story in front of him some how....
I think you did a wonderful job of tying these two franchises together. I was looking forward to both prequels but they left me disappointed due to the inconsistencies that should have been obvious to anybody that really cared about exploring the alien universe further. so thanks so much for a story that I think does justice to this epic odyssey.
👏 Good story! I'd rather hear you riff about Alpha and X.E. than see another movie.
thanks!!
Indeed ... as a wanna-be artist, although I haven't seen any 'Alien' movies post 'Resurrection' (quite possibly because I gave up all hope after the high-water mark of 'Aliens' ...), I do like the sculpted, candle-waxy, look of the XEs ... call me crazy, but I would love to see a movie about them, with perhaps a Alpha or two, but without us stupid apes, or any anything related to us, the xenomorphs, or the Predators...
Now that really would be a movie about aliens ...
Your version is so munch better than the last 2 flawed movies .... 🥃🥃🥃 . You should make a story of what happened to the good Android stranded on the planet by Evil David ...
This is amazing! Honestly I wish this theory would be turned into a movie!
I actually really like this. It's simple, not far fetched, and ties everything together.
Good Job Sir! These are excellent and better theories then we'll probably get in the later official films.
thanks!
So glad you did this. Great way to tie things together! Excellent work!
This was a great story idea. :D
You and BanditIncorporated should team up to write more story ideas for these franchises. :D
Man if only they made this a series! Movies taking so much time to come out is painful to wait for.
this makes so much sense! thanks for offering your version up for fans of the series!
no prob! glad you liked it!
nicely done, i write sagas and long stories too and i know how hard it can get to stitch a dozen of separated stories to each other and make sense of it to create a sensible universe with a consolidated timeline. you did a very good job.
thank you!
I’m actually impressed, this is a pretty good explanation and I much prefer it to the current story.
Really liked your story. Much better than what we got in Covenant. Here's hoping! Well done.
Sad thing is that the story we will actually get will likely not be nearly as elegant and rewarding. Now that disney owns it, they'll make the script to showcase as many CGI animations as possible and neglect decades of lore and fan fiction. I loved this presentation. Thank you!
Man. Thanks for saving the franchise. Ridley Scott totally destroyed all my hope and hype for the aliens mystical origin, and instead created huge plot holes... If the rumors of RK making a completely new story, and thus vanquishing the original Alien movies are true, then you have a hell of a job fixing it for all of us preferring the original story better. Hope RK is listening to you and making the new alien movie more like your explanation, rather than fucking everything up.. AGAIN..
I feel like everyone forgets the novelization of aliens. Newts parents find dead xenomorphs and a dead queen that would have laid the eggs on the derelict
I hope Ridley Scott considers your theory and implements it. Man, it’s damn good!!
This was almost a relief to watch lol...my brain could even feel comfortable taking this as canon...great job!
The only thing I would change about this is that the Space Jockeys are literally a part of their ship, with the ship and the Jockey we saw in Alien being a single creature with the Jockey as the "brain". The way I aways saw them was as explorers, their evolution and technology so far gone they wouldn't ever have the need to leave the pilot chair (even if they could) because the ship, being their arms and legs, would do everything needed.
From there, I'm torn on the Aliens being a natural or engineered race...but I agree that they should be a much older race than even the Jockeys.
I like the part of the jockey being a part of the ship. I did have the alphas suit grow and merge with the ship, so the first movie would work, but it was a suit, not a brain like your idea! Nice take on the jockey!
Thank you for all your attention to detail and the time you took to piece together in chronological order so it all made sense.
... Thankyou
Really enjoyed this. I've personally had a theory that neither the engineers nor David create the xenomorph, but that the engineers found them and were trying to recreate them to be used as a weapon. This explains why the goo and davids experiments never quite fit being the same as the original alien well also allowing all the comics to fit in, like the comics that involve a alien home world. The derelict ship could have been a ship that landed on the alien home planet with the mission to capture a specimen to study, but there was a containment breach and the ship crashed on 246. No matter the theory I hope something gets done to fix the storyline.
Great ideas!
This is what needs to be done! Adding. No more retcon. i HATE it when producers retcon. Don't they have advisors somewhere who say "Um, sir?... You can't do that. The stories conflict now and you'll loose fans. It's not what the consumers want."
Great job !! Here’s my problem with all of it .... I loved Prometheus !!! Without ever thinking it was going to be just another Alien movie. Meaning a prequel for the originals. I would’ve loved a totally new franchise and couldn’t wait for the forever prolonged # 2 but never thinking it was going to be tied to Alien ! With that said it is what it is and I too thought the holes would b so hard to fill in but I really like your explanation set up to tie them together !!!! Nice job and very well thought out and creative !! Alphas ..... such a great idea !!!!
thanks, big fan of Prometheus myself!
+SciFi Explained
Damn. they need you and a team of others like you to take over the alien franchise.
what will be even better is you guys (you and the team!😂) make a never ending series of 2hr long episodes that will always evolve...
part 1&2 were great watches 🔥👌 keep em comin.
Your two video are interesting, instructive and clarify the Alien Franchise. Many thanks for your excellent work on this subject.
I would drop a mic if I where you ! Your explanation also reveals why the mural. The Egineers apear to be in admiration to the creation of their neomorph as it puts them closer to being that wich they desire so much, wich is to be like their creators the Alphas.
This is the MOST interesting sifi story of all time!! Better than even Star Wars. I pray to the alphas we will get a bunch of movies on this topic. AMAZING!!
loved it, i hope we get movies based on this story
You did a great job. How you composed ingeneers from prometheus,that I hate a lot, into Aliens universe. I hthink that Ridley Scott was a good director,but the main part was done on the script and visuals (Dan O Bannon,D.Giller, H.R.Giger..). In the care of Prometheus and specially Prometheus 2 ( that Covenant thingy)he done this part by himself with the uncompetent people like Lindelof :(
I thing that the third upcoming prometheus completely ruin your interesting construct about the alphas....that i like a lot.
I´ve created my own theory about the Space Jockeys (when Prometheus was a wet dream).
What we know. Space Jockey is with his chair as a one thing. The whole ship is bio mechanical.
I´ve tryed to think out of box and this is revealed:
The space Jockey and his ship is the one. there are two cases - The Space Jockey grown in the chair in the observatory, or he can move around the ship within the walls.
If we thing about Alien (xenomorph) as the perfect organism, then the Space Jockeys are baddass extra terestrials....not a humans in suits.
The Aliens are creation of the Space Jockeys ...because of the same Gigerish look.
The aliens eggs are like space suits or breathing apparatus for Space Jockeys.
like in this picture :)

Did somebody noticed the similarity between the Space Jockey trunk and facehugger tail? :)
The eggs are also the first line of defence. If someone find the egg and Facehugger jumps on him then non biologically compatible person is infected with an embrio. When alien appear, then it is the first soldier of the Space Jockey upcoming army was created.
When infection continues and eggs are few, then the queen appears and the infestation accelerating.
If this person is biologically compatible then the atmospheric modified facehugger (trough the wall of the egg) release all necessary information coded in him and it is modified for Space Jockey to breathe neighbor atmosphere.
How about the damaged chest and the hole in the floor of the derelict you ask? Well, the facehugger is helping the Space Jockey to breathe and the parasite "alien" in him is allmost like g´oauld in Stargate. What happend? It is look like crash landing, bechause of hard damage of the ship (some sort of cosmic ray or so) or aging of the pilot. The pilot surely died because of cosmic injury or aging. The parasite opened his chest and died too. The derelict died with the pilot, but one section of the egg chamber is still alive wth multirole eggs. For space jockeys- the spacesuit, the biological databank, black box of the ship..etc, for everybody else the deadly trap.
I've always likes the theorys that either:
A. The engineers created the xenos/aliens themselves with the black goo, by accident, after finding it on another planet and deciding to experiment with it to find out what it does.
B. the xenos have existed for millennia, the black goo with them, and were more organic in design and less violent but the engineers came across them and took some back to their research planet, LV-223, and started experimenting on them and the black goo which gave the xenos the more biomechanical design and aggression that they have today but the engineers tried to wipe them out and destroy them once they realised what they had created. But, just like humans, there were a few engineers that marvelled in their creation (hence the deacon mural, could have been their first successful creation with xenos) and decided that they didn't want them destroyed so they orchestrated the outbreak in the facility, killing the others that would see the xenos destroyed.
C. (This kinda connects to B) David didn't create the Xenos and merely revived their race. The Neomorph in covenant could have been the way they originally looked before the engineers experimented on them and gave them their more mechanical look (potential original reproduction method - the black spores - the engineers could have made that into the black goo to create the xenos we know today)
The Xeno we see at the end of covenant could be the start of the revival of their engineered race and David just found out about them through the data on the engineers ship and decided to recreate what the engineers had wanted to wipe out in order to take out the human race, and potentially other races that would see themselves as gods.
( idk if this makes sense I just wanted to get this stuff outta my head lmao)
Just Started Part Two. Loving it! This is exactly how I like my Xenomorph setup. Lets fix this!!!
Or maybe they should have stuck with the original concept of Prometheus which was a reimagining of the Alien universe.
Nice ideas, but I would like to add a twist. Applying my twist to your ideas, I would make the Alphas a species that predates our universe by coming here from previous universe(s). Evolving "universe bubbles" are one of the cutting edge ideas in physics. Alphas could have arrived here with (or via) their black goo. I concur that they created Engineers and I concur with your idea that they found humanity evolved independently (perhaps the same way that the very first Alphas came into being.) That makes humans very special and unique. Maybe we scare them. Maybe there's something we do that they can't. My proposal on that is that we are uniquely able to create sentient beings out of inert atoms rather than from black goo. They are stuck using the black goo to create life. And they are afraid we or our sentient creations will supplant them in future universes. But in the end they decide to let us be (and leave our universe) rather than destroy us. Although they might keep the Engineers alive to keep us on our toes and encourage us to evolve through competition. Room for sequels. P.S. I never return to my comments to see what people think of them.
Well thought out theory! It also could be the way to refit the Alien vs Predator series back into canon of the Alien franchise, fixing a decision Ridley Scott made that I and probably many others seriously dislike. And David creating the iconic Xenomorph, I just can't accept it. David recreating the Xeno after reading the genetical blueprints made by the original Engineers, that would be acceptable. I hope Scott will choose a similar direction in future works, and prove himself not to be like a certain Mr. Lucas who also attempted to corrupt his own franchise.
