You forgot the part where they were eventually bought out by WalMart.
Look at the red / white checker boards on the passage doors of the Nostromo. Purina Corp.
@@DVincentW I think that may actually mean something because I see it in alot of space films
I thought brawndo bought them out

Bad primate?
@@VincentGonzalezVeg A bad, BAD primate! Monkey needs a SPANKING!
What if Weyland Yutani's motivation to exploit the Xenomorphs stemmed from the early encounters of the Predators. Knowing that Mankind would not stand a chance against such a species should it choose to invade. The only creature seen to stand toe to toe with the Predators was the Xeno, making their domestication and use for military application essential to counter any hostile alien attack.
Obedient Xenomorph Soldiers sound so cool to me 😂👌 BioSoldiers.
Makes sense.
Ah yes, the deadly Yautja, who are winless against all sorts of humans: former spec ops, a cop, a teenage native American.
Not really the existential threat. And I forget which comic it was that elaborated, but they Yautja consider humans more dangerous than xenomorphs (not that Weyland would have had that part of info, though).
The only problem with this is that the yautja as species have very low population numbers compared to the human race and the fact that not all yautja clans see eye to eye. They simply dont have even close to numbers it would take to launch a successful invasion of earth. The human armies would decimate them if they tried.

I didn't know Weyland Utani had an office on the Citadel.
It did, and it was Commander Shepard's favorite office on the Citadel.
Arku Winner
Nick Medellin Maybe something would have been done about the reapers
They were actually going to use the Xenomorphs against the Rachni but the Krogan were a better choice.
That would have been a disaster because they would have ended up with an unstoppable delugen of feral space faring RachniMorphs spreading across the star systems, almost like the Reapers.

In the Restored/Expanded scenes of Aliens, seeing the kids at Hadley's Hope playing with a Weyland Yutani Tricycle within the Weyland Yutani colony really set the idea how massive the corp. was.
Facts
So Weyland-Yutani is the Amazon of the Alien universe?
I think your comment is most apt. I can definetly see Amazon becoming a Weyland-Yutani type company.
Very much true in 2021.
I can see that. I always related it to the Umbrella Corporation.
Wrong It will be Amazon
Wow I whole heartedly disagree lol…
You think W/Y bought the umbrella corporation?
thatmar1neguy
Mhm....might as well cuz umbrella wouldn't have a market chance against weyland yutani
Rich Handsome true but Umbrellas Tvirus Could have used on
Weyland Yutani in an act of revenge for being bought out. Tvirus Xenomorphs would be interesting
Old School Media
Try G-virus xenomorphs... That'll be a handful for the BSAA and a USS ship full of Colonial Marines.
Tony Davis I'd pay to see that gorefest
You think they make the plumbus?
Nice to see a British/Japanese company doing well after Brexit
lickspittle1 yep
Firefly is in the Alien universe, in the pilot they shoot down enemies with a turret with the Weyland corp logo on the
As is Judge Dredd my dood 😉
They also stole armor from Starship Troopers. But that's props, not canon.
Aliens collector dvd also mentions that the Tyrell coorporation from Blade Runner were direct competitors of Weyland. I imagine that androids like Ash are the spiritual successors of the replicants
As is predator
One of the backgrounds used was from Mass Effect... ;-)
7:48 the citadel
Fantastic video dude. You explained this perfectly and did it in a really pleasant way. Keep it up! :)
Thanks Jack :)
Ahh, the M41A pulse rifle!
If you look real close at 7:12, upper-left, you can see the Thompson machine gun hiding under all that fancy movie-prop plastic.
The film-makers wanted a loud blank-firing prop gun, as it gave the actors something to react to.
Hard to be a bad-ass space-marine when your prop gun only flashes!
The 'smart-guns' were stripped-down MG42's on steadi-cam mounts.
The blank-firing got so loud that ear-plugs became mandatory on set.
Not the only ones, the storm trooper blasters from the original star wars trilogy were sterling sub machine guns with a much smaller magazine.
@@TheSalamander_ And more. You can see storm troopers holding T-21s (Lewis guns without their magazines and some random bits added too it) and DLT-19s, which are just MG-34s with random piping and wires added too it. As we all know Hans blaster was a C96, and the A280 used by rebel pathfinders were made from MP-44s
And in the end they were bought by Walmart 😂
Disney
@@immovableobject6851 no literally in the movie they say Walmart bought them out
@@pacdoforlove8263 which movie???
Alien resurrection
pac do for love Lmao I remember hearing that in alien resurrection and wondering if I actually just heard that Walmart bought the company
The one short sighted thing in this universe is the lack of competition for WY. You'd think there would be dozens of other evil mega corporations out there in the movies.
While it is addressed in Alien: Isolation that there *are* competitors to WY, truth is in a government ran market all it takes is one company to start expanding regulations till they're so complex that competition can't pass regulation standards and can't bribe their way out of them. The end result is smaller companies continually getting naenae'd by regulations until one remains, now backed by a government regulatory system likely first lobbied for in an attempt to end WY.
Fun economics in the RUclips comments section you didn't think you were getting today eh?
Best evil company
Thomas Wightman ever heard of fifa?
Thomas Wightman it has nothing on czerka corporation
EA...
Current year reference!
Pretty sure EA would turn into Weyland-Yutani if given the chance.

Nice video man. You explained just about everything except Weyland's connection to Blade Runner and Yutani's connection to Predator and AVP
I am not sure about Blade Runner but I think Ridley Scott never confirmed a connection. But regarding your question why he didnt explained the connection between AvP and WY: because there is nothing to explain. The AvP and Alien Universe are two complete different universes. Charles Bishop Weyland never existed in the Alien Lore. Most of the things he explained regarding the companys History is from the Alien Universe. In the Alien Universe Weyland was formed in 2016 by Peter Weyland. The AvP Movies are set in 2004 and 2007 which means that a possible plot related connection between those universes doesnt makes sense. The AvP games/movies do pretend there is a plot connection but there is non.
I find it funny that the company want's the aliens as weapons. Against whom? besides of the xenomorphs and the engineers we have never seen any other alien creatures. The engineer civilisation lies shattered and destroyed. And if all the humans ( besides pirates) are one faction and don't fight each other then why do they need so much military and stuff?
Edit:whoops... returned 2 years later to find hundrets of comments and answers to my comment. I'm glad that I accidentally started a large exchange of ideas and theories even if some replies give of this 'you are a ignorant shortsided c*nt' and 'I'm more intelligent that thou art' vibe. Thanks for all the replies.
( except to the duolingo bird)
A very good question...That could be a question worth investigating , Zirkel., ty, ...et carter
ZIRKEL MAGISTER RAVING Agreed, why have a weapon that is pure over-kill
Who's to say there aren't species that could rival/overpower us? We haven't seen the full extent of the engineer's civilization either. All we've seen are a couple outposts and a colony destroyed by David.
I don't think it's to defend against anyone as apposed to selling it to highest builder
Perhaps to control the populations of the off world colonies they have established.
You've thrown a superb spotlight on, " The Company".
Thanks Leslie!

Thank you for doing these. New subbie! I learned ALOT And your intro music is BRILLIANT!
has anyone found out the intro yet?!? i found out this channel 2 days ago, and im literally looking every comment to find it.. if anyone can or knows that would be amazing to share
Why weaponise alien when you can clone Ripley and many other human who can kill many xeno morph before dieing human > alien
Temli Ete because Ripleys rebel.
Look at the one in Resurrection... basically part xenomorph.... wrecked the queen, and her own baby... she's a queen xenomorph in her own right.
As for the research team, well... we all know what happens when you try to keep xenos as pets.
Temli Ete an alien is an unthinking unreasoning monster. A xenomorph would never question your requests
@@MatataMcCleskey Nope, it will just eat you.
TazeMeBro McCleskey have you seen alien covenant ?
That will not work. Even making mechanical versions will be much worst, imagine the money they will spent on repairs and add-ons, they will be broke immediately
There is no other alien species that is fighting humanity as it is clearly stated by the Weyland-Yutani executives in the movie Aliens that there has never been any other alien species ever discovered. That makes the alien the first discovered alien creature ever, along with the Engineers. So why do the army need so many weapons and bio weapons to fight if there are no alien enemies? Well that is truly the mystery in the alien universe. If I had to take a guess at who the army was fighting with, it would simply be fighting with other humans. Factions or rogue world outposts that don’t want to be run or governed by Earth executives at Welland-Yutani is my best guess.
all that unrelated concept art ;) (mass effect) cough cough.
gotta say, love the aliens universe. As child i only saw it as a horror film but as an adult it is rich in substance that is the aliens universe.
as always, your story time rendition is great.
I thought the (two) mass effect concept art photos did a good job of representing the technology and timeframe of the 2200s and helped filmcomics explained get their point across :)
Well said Arthur! Thanks Buddy :)
Thanks, EclecticMage S!! :)
even though it is Mass Effect concept art, it easily fits into the Alien universe
agreed. excellent art
I thought Wal-Mart brought them out.
Weyland yutani’s a pretty cool company despite wanting to weaponise xenomorphs but that’s what made them good villains
Weyland Yutani was ultimately doing the right thing.
Not understanding the aliens was more dangerous than risking human lives and avoiding them.
It would be stupid to bring them back to Earth.
It was more logical to experiment on them in distant ships like the Auriga seen in Alien Resurrection.
Bigtruckseriesreview Motorsports but like them, would you risk doing as you say, or stealing,kidnapping, innocent people?
They were acting in such a way though for 100% selfish reasons.
I love the detail and backstory, really fantastic! Thank you!!
at the end of one of the Predator movie the utani corporation took hold of the Predators shoulder plasma gun for reverse engineering I see why the Wayland corporation wanted to merge with utani. thanks for the information👍👍👍
Thanks Alohim! Yeh its at the end of one of the AVP movies I think :)
Part 2, and that's Yutani? Thought it was Weyland tbh
Avp r.
I highly recommend the 3-4 Aliens novel anthologies written 15+ years ago. They really capture the coldness of the companies that run things and they're solid novella+ length stories.
If Weylan-Yutani was outlawed than how did they make a comeback.
Keith Allver
Blackmail and bribery
Sounds about right, Rich! :)
Through Seegson 🤔
@randomguy8196 or they just figured out how to own the government again. You'd be surprised how easy it is for corporations to hijack governments, *especially* democratic ones.
Just like how Blue Umbrella came back to life after their original collapse.
Walmart-Disney... or Apple-Nike!! Damn, I’m scaring myself here!!
The thumbnail image makes me think of the raptor squad from Jurassic World
Alien Resurrection can't possibly be cannon. The USM never existed.
I wish that were soo mate , But we dont get to decide whats cannon, thats left to 20th century fox :)
@@filmcomicsexplained I mean they could just pull a Disney (oh wait...) now that they've been bought and declare everything besides the first two films and the comics non-canon ;)
7:42 Good to know that the Citadel was built by Weyland-Yutani... :P
Okay, the Xenomorph control system in the thumbnail looks awesome. But I would never trust that thing not to fail.
You'd never be able to assign me alongside mind-controlled Xenomorphs. I'd expect for the system to malfunction at any second and to get torn apart.
Enclave and deathclaws
What pisses me off about prometheus and promotheus 2(cant remember the name) was how they destroyed the world building and its possibilities. Everyone was pumped to see the engineer homeworld and ridgley scott just gace everyone a middle finger and produced that trash of a film.
They should have adapted some story lines from the comics.
Hey Jeremy! I couldnt agree more champ
Why do people think it's destroyed? Why can't these isolated stories have greater twists towards a larger narrative. What if WY already knows that the Xenomorphs are mankind's last hope vs an awaiting foe? We never actually know how the Xenomorphs got to their destinations. So what if the WY obsession with the Xenomorphs and the engineers is in reality them learning from their foe and turning this weapom against them
I see hundreds of possibly arcs, just because they aren't doing what we thought doesn't mean the movies ruined anything.
why do people think its destroyed, i dont normally place stock in reviews. But the user reviews on imdb are very brutally honest
dude the guy was drunk as shit making the movie
think about it , it makes no sense, what happened to that second protomorph, its like he got sober at the end and said fuck it...
Don't blame scott blame A. The studio and B. The fans after prometheus who all just demanded a new alien film....
The Weyland-Yutani Corporation! Formerly known as Electronic Arts, and still upholding the same principles.
He has the same awesome, calming voice as the same as the guy who narrates in top5s
6:30 I wanna see that in a movie
Me too :)
Niel blomkamp
Lol you forgot the part where WY was literally bought out by Walmart before coming back aha. When I heard that in the movie I actually had to rewind it and turn on subtitles to make sure I heard that right. Weyland-Yutani, the big bad guy from the Alien franchise, was bought by Walmart. I had a nice laugh.
great video mate! subbed!
Evil mega corporation science fiction?!
Amazon: hold my stock!
Brilliant! This is some great stuff!
Brilliant for someone reading word for word the entire Xenopedia page at AVP Galaxy!!!!!
The Prometheus theme is so amazing!
We need the seperate movies about these corporations. Wayland Yutani, Umbrella corporation, Vought international, OCP (from old Detroit) ect..
Those would be very good stories to explain. Definitely dark humor and serious Sci-fi plots!
So it looks like, at some point, Weyland took over “Big Wheel”
Those Bastards!!!
I used to work there, at the Weyland corporation, until they had an alien impregnate me. No health insurance, no privileges, no apologies, no special health hazard pay.. And that Xenomorph never payed any child support. Just up and left.
.....that’s the citadel lol
indeed! lol
Dude i love collection art from the internet mostly sci fi xenomorphs 40k but where did you get that thumbnail!? That is soooo cool that would be my next desktop background

Strikes me as more of a Yutani
He's too worried about if The Matrix is real or not. Weyland and the guy from Bladerunner are power-CEOs. Maybe if Bill Gates wasn't a pussy and killing people with fake vaccines he could maybe count with his success.

Damn your channel really blowing up congrats
Yeh I know Xavier! Its crazy!!
"Humans were frequently used as unwilling hosts for the Xenos" You mean there were no volunteers?
I don’t know how, but I read the title as Dunder Mifflin Corp and it made me spit out my drink imagining Dwight in that suit…
I love that WY is just as scary as the Xenomorphs
i like that u actually reply to your commenters, it makes me happy to see u care 😎
I most certainly do care :) But it is getting harder to respond to everyone!
@@filmcomicsexplained Try writing your own work instead of simply reading what others have written. It's called plagiarism!
Im not a big alien cannon guy, love the movies respect the alien, but I love your images of all the different movie science and lore of the company its visually worth it because they are not common images and its adds meat to something i find exciting. as a kid these things were cool if a bit scary, I imagined having leagues of them like I was the king and how they could be used to threaten the bad guys of the world, fighting evil with evil, like the only thing they could understand lol.
why is nobody talking about the fact that Alien/Predetor and Bladerunner play in the same universe?!
Fun fact: the company is called Weyland (British) Yutani (Japanese) because the US population disliked/hated British and Japanese and the two were often the villain in most Hollywood films.

Wow wow that picture at 6:30 what is that from!
+Richard Valdes - Rasmussen want to know too!
Richard Valdes - Rasmussen The comic series, I'm pretty sure.
I think it was concept art for Alien 5 that Neil Blomkamp was supposed to direct, unfortunately I think it's cancelled now.
I believe it's concept art for one of the films or maybe one of the games, can't be sure. it's not from any of the comics (the art work is too good, most of the comics were quite poorly drawn) though it could be from some art's personal work
the comic series does show aliens being used in similar ways as blood hounds but these aliens are usually fitted with big metal harnesses (too keep them from biting) and again the art work in those comics were usually pretty poor by comparison
ummm no thats the concept art for concept art for Alien 5 that Neil Blomkamp was supposed to do before it got cancelled. Just making stuff up huh? lol
I really want a kind of post-apocalyptic alien movie. To where the Xenomorph have gotten on Earth and a lot of it's overrun. I think that will be awesome
That would be fantastic.
I would like a job in this company 😂

"Weyland-Yutani should be allowed to sacrifice innocent human lives developing a bioweapon they can't control If it's profitable. Nobody has the right to get in the way of their reckless pursuit of financial gain." - Space Libertarians.
Wrong, you know nothing about libertarians. First libertarians love private property especially thier own bodies and would never want it damaged or killed. Its called the non-aggression principle, it say we don't hurt people or break thier stuff. Second, who funds weapons development? Corperations dont do shit for free. If they wanted a bioweapon its because the government wanted one and would be willing to pay for it. Third, deploying bioweapons lowers property values in general and libertarians oppose that much the same as they view polution.
Libertarians wouldn't mind it if the corperation wanted to study the organism on say a privately owned research facility on an uninhabited celestial body perhaps a moon around a Jupiter like planet some lightyears away. Libertaianism isn't a suicide pact.
No, actually I'm completely right. You're just mad that your ideology is counter to all logic, ethics and morals.
Top argumentation and nice point you got there wow
irllcd13 - why even bring up political discourse if you don't have a reasoned argument beyond generalizations and poor hypotheticals? Are we not all nerds here my brothers and sisters, here to geek out on the Alien universe?
Honestly? Because I enjoy triggereing libertarians. It's so pathetically easy. All you have to do is point out the fact that capitalism is not perfect and they all get their panties in a twist.
Good vid . Thanks man. subbed.
6:22 I always wondered how exactly the xenomorphs would be used in a wartime situation. I love that photo too:

How awesome would it be if the Halo and Alien franchises were in the same universe? I think it could work, like if you agree, not because i want likes but because i want to see if my idea is stupid or meh.
Hey Tim-tam! yeh of course that would be awesome champ :)
Tim-Tam honestly alien is too "horror" for halo
SuperDuperParatrooper Not really, it is a bit of a stretch, but the flood are absolutely terrifying and they are in halo. In fact, the flood have scared me in Halo games more times than Aliens have in the Alien films.
Tim-Tam but it's a way better idea for an alien horror and it matches with the halo universe, as a matter of fact they're why there are halo rings basically. The xenos are just to weird to fit in with the universe of halo
SuperDuperParatrooper Yeah, but i think something similar to them could work, but not in the main story line. Maybe just a comic or book or something, i don't know.

Hi, where did you find some of the images? Like the pics of Hadley's Hope with the Bar sign and the three story building? I would love to see them!
Regardless of the organization, religious, political or corporate, when a few hold absolute power over the many corruption is unavoidable. No person or persons can ever be trusted with total power.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
