      Alien 3 has a convoluted and complex history and Fincher walked away from the movie mid-production, due to heavy producers interference, and doesn't even want to be listed as the director because that is not his movie.
      You should watch the extended cut (not Director's cut because Fincher didn't even want to return to do that) which makes a lot more sense and it looks like a completely different movie.

    I agree,Alien timeline is all over the place😂 Bishop is great companion :D So said about Bishop,Hicks and Newt. Really bad handled. Alien:Resurection is great :D Predator vs Alien is not that bad. It's possible humans are creatied by Engineers. Maybe aliens too. Alien::Covenant looks like pretty good prequel. Prometheous is confusing 😂 Predator vs Alien 2 too😂 It's confusing like Highlander in a way😁 Great video😁

  • @danidance4622
    @danidance4622 8 месяцев назад +1

    Please note that David did not create the xenomorphs. He merely tried to recreate them, hence why they look so different compared to the original. I don’t believe that was what Ridley Scott had in mind, I’m almost certain that he wanted the covenant story to be the origins of the xenomorph but the fans quickly rejected that seeing as it didn’t actually fit the timeline or lore.

  • @mr.wiggles7535
    @mr.wiggles7535 9 месяцев назад +3

    The original two were fairly sound in terms of what happened, albeit some things could have been avoided if protocol was followed. But the shit seen in the "prequels" just made no sense whatsoever. Especially when they essentially tried to retcon and explain the origins, which didn't need explanation.

  • @psbates
    @psbates 9 месяцев назад +2

    I'm surprised you didn't offer what has always been the most plausible source of the xenomorph egg on the Sulaco, in my opinion.
    The alien queen was holding it with her tail. You never get a clear shot of her tail as she's chasing Ripley & Newt to the elevator. When the elevator carrying the queen reaches the level where Bishop picks up Ripley & Newt, her tail is once again obscured. Then, she left the egg in a safe location before disabling Bishop and hunting Ripley & Newt. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @HeyThreshold

      True but they have been made so it's kinda weird.

    • @bagsikdangal
      @bagsikdangal 9 месяцев назад

      It contradicts the Alien movies. The themes in the Alien movies, is that if the xenomorphs reached earth, they would spread and take over, dooming the earth. This is why Ellen Ripley is stopping(and died) the xenomorphs from reaching earth. But the AvP movies says the xenomorphs were already on earth, and nothing bad ever happened. AvPR is the most guilty, since the xenomorphs threat was easily dealt with, by nuking. So AvPR says the xenomorphs are only town level threats, and not global threats Ellen Ripley makes them out to be.

    • @HeyThreshold
      @HeyThreshold 9 месяцев назад

      @@bagsikdangal that's not really a contradiction for me.
      The fact that the Xenos didn't have to reach Earth was a Ripley's assumption not a fact.
      Maybe she was correct in assuming that the Xenos were too much to handle for humans but AVP showed us that Predators have been handling them for ages taking all the measures (a pyramid on an island in Antarctica loaded with nukes) to contain them even when they escaped.
      The movies could have been incorporated into the canon because just saying they are not canon doesn't erase them from existence and just ends up confusing the story even more for the public at large.

      @pearlsandstars829 9 месяцев назад

      Prometheus was the best film honesty. It's too bad that the movies that were supposed to be made were never made, but the main story is already there: it's really about how parents treat their children and how many tend to treat their creations: with jealousy, fearing they will surpass them, be better than them, that their lives are inferior in comparison, etc. (whether that's human children, A.I., etc.) David at least broke this cycle: he loved his creation and wanted it to be better (a mix of him and Shaw, who he loved) but he was very messed up from being brought up by Wayland so he also exhibits great cruelty in turn, for example towards the engineers the ultimate creators, who planned to wipeout all humanity with the bioweapon Shaw's team finds. David knows and understands that the engineers are exactly like Wayland, so he kills them all.
