WEBVTT - Recapping Every Alien Movie 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:15.880 Hello. 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:22.800 I'm Rosie Knight, and today we are diving deep into 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:27.160 the Alien franchise in anticipation of the newest entry alien formulas. 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.000 Now join me as I jump into the airlock where 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.800 Jason has been busy grinding tape preparing a recap. 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.320 Of all of the previous Alien movies. 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:45.760 So here we go, Alien Franchise recap in chronological order. Wow, 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:47.400 fictional chronological order. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:52.120 Chronological fictional order, which is our favorite way to do recap. 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:59.440 We begin with nineteen nineties Predator two. That's right, Predator two. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.160 Wow, the crowd goes wild. 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.120 Okay, let's precede this by saying that both Jason and 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.320 I shed a deep love for this movie when we 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:09.920 with children. 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.759 We love this movie, but it is. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.200 A very problematic movie when you watch it Agenheim. 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.240 Watching it in the modern day, there's it definitely raises 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.160 some red flags. We open in Los Angeles. The year 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:29.520 is nineteen ninety seven. Los Angeles is slightly furturistic. Los 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:38.840 Angeles is racked by hyper violent gang violence between two yes, 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:44.360 very racially problematic depictions of Columbian and Jamaican gangs that 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:49.160 are at each other's necks. And this violence attracts the 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:54.360 attentions of a predator who's like, oh, I love violence. Yeah, 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.560 these guys are killing each other, that I will kill 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.000 the ones who are killing the most because I'm a predator. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.240 That's what I love to do is kill the most dangerous. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.320 One and yeah, and then I'll be like the best 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.760 killer in downtown LA specifically. 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.120 So the alien, just as racking up bodies, cuts a 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:14.399 bloody swath through both of these gangs. LAPD Officer Mike 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.279 Harrigan played by Danny Glover. 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.640 Huh, why were you cost in this movie? 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.760 I don't know, but I love it. He is too 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.280 old for this shit in this movie. 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:25.880 He doesn't want to be able. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.960 To ashier suits in this than you would expect from 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.960 the Lethal Weapons series. So he's investigating the gang violence 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.880 and he finds himself in pursuit of the predator, and 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.880 of course nobody believes, you know, he's getting all these reports, 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.399 all this like invisible Killer. It's weird. It wasn't a man, 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.720 it was a monster or whatever. Towards the end of 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.799 the film, as Harrigan is in pursuit of this predator, 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.079 the predator goes to its ship that it's hidden and 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.680 as it you know, goes in there to like restock 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.079 on ammo et cetera, and like treat its wounds, and 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.440 we see among the predator's trophies is a xenomorph skull 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:06.000 on the wall. And let me tell you, in the 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.720 pre Internet era, when I saw this as a kid 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.360 and saw the alien skyll, I was like, my mind 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.200 literally exploded. But it's all I could talk about. You 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:26.160 don't understand the aliens exist in the Predator universe. I've 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:30.119 never heard of such a cross This game truly was yeah. 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.919 Literally I think for me this was probably also my 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.880 first crossover movie. And then I think the second one 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.560 was like I don't know, Freddy in Hell. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:40.680 If Freddie goes to Hell and at the end he 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.280 like pulls down, I mean that. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.920 I guess those are the two memories I have of like, oh, ship, 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.360 like something's gonna happen. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.080 So Harrigan kills the predator with its own like little weapon, 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:57.200 it's a frisbee weapon. And then a group of predators 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.680 who I guess have been like observing, appear and they 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.240 take their fellow predator's corpse back with them that put 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.640 it on the ship, and they give Harrigan like an 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.960 old Revolutionary War pistol. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:15.840 As a good job, all right, shot you peace. 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:20.400 Next movie Alien Versus Predator two thousand and four of 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.120 the Year is A Year is two thousand and four. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:29.359 Charles Whaland played by Lance Henrickson that you played Bishop, 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:34.920 the synthetic humanoid Bishop in Aliens and other roles which 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.920 we will get to in the Alien franchise, is the 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:41.160 CEO of Whalen Industries, and he sends a crack team 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:47.080 of international scientists and mercenaries to a recently discovered pyramid 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.039 which is under the Antarctic ice. Now, the pyramid turns 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.120 out to be a predator like hunting temple, and it 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.840 turns out how they build it because they're the spacefaring 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.960 highly advanced hunters. And it turns out they're just like 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:08.720 especially the predators. Now, it turns out the predators taught 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.239 human beings how to build pyramids because I guess people 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.760 couldn't like figure out the triangle shape like. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.479 They were like they were like, this is a two complex? 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.760 What woo baby, I barely just got the wheel going. 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:26.680 I don't know what's going. 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:32.240 So predator culture apparently considers the xenomorph like the ultimate prey, 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.320 like like the most dangerous thing you can hunt. Right, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.200 So every one hundred years, the predator contestants come to 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:44.640 Earth to hunt the xenomorphs specifically hatched from sacrificial human beings, 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.480 and this alien queen that they have like frozen in 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.880 the pyramid. And this is like the predator version of 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.920 the Olympics, right, It's a big deal. And the scientists 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.640 and the mercenaries get all caught up in this competition 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.359 and they're like, we have to help the pre dators 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:04.120 win because the aliens if they overrun, you know, the predators, 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.200 they'll like wild on Earth and just kill everybody or 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:11.719 use them as you know, egg hatching incubators. The predators 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.440 give Arctic guide Lex played by Snale than a spear 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.560 is a gift. And after this is after the predators 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.599 defeat the aliens, uh, they then get in the ship 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.480 with one of their fallen comrades named Scar and they 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:30.000 take off, and then soon after they take off, an 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:35.480 alien predator hybrid bursts from the dead predator's chest. Now 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:41.520 you would after several centuries of dealing with these creatures, 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.520 that the predators would like x ray everybody that they 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.200 decide to take back. 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.040 On with that, I feel like to make sure they 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.080 don't really think, yeah, let me know what these things. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.160 Do, and you're still like, yeah, yeah, don't even check it. 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:58.839 Just bring it right on, just. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.240 Put them on the shed. I definitely didn't get that. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.720 Brings us to two thousand and sevens Alien Predator Requiem, 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.679 which occurs in the same year as Alien Versus Predator 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.960 thousand four, happens in fact immediately following the events. So 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.800 right after the Predators get in their ship and take 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.160 off to fly back to their home planet, the pred alien, 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:25.120 which is now hatched, it grows at a fantastic rate, 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.520 as we often see that these creatures do, and immediately 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.320 fucking goes ham and it causes the Predator home ship 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.840 to crash into Gunnis in Colorado. Ah, yes, Gonnis in 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.120 Colorado's poor town doesn't know what it's in for. The 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:45.320 Xenomorphs then go fucking crazy and they start reproducing using 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:50.360 humans as hosts. They're fucking going nuts. A Predator champion 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.120 back on the Predator home world, it gets the distress 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.360 signal and is like, fuck this, I'm going there alone. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.240 He's like, if you want to jump and I'm going 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.440 to wipe out all the xenomorphs on Earth. Now things 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.040 get really chaotic and crazy, so much so that the 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.280 military like immediately gets involved and they decide, we can't 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.360 we can't let this spread any further. Let's nuke Gunnison, 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.280 a thing you've seen in a million movie outbreak, the Blob, 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.240 et cetera. So, but I think it's actually like quite 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.440 a reasonable thing to do in this particular case. 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:32.880 Jason's like, in this case, then you go to do 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.199 I feel like I feel like they're. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.240 They're not thinking about the fact that in the canon 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.439 of these kind of movies, if you nuke, some creature usually. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:43.280 Just becomes giant. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.440 So I would definitely be thinking of the Godzilla potentials 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:47.240 of the mutation. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.400 But I still understand the intention. 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.440 It's pretty like you must imagine like the president would 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:57.839 have had to have been briefed. Okay, mister President. So 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:03.959 what we've got is a parasitic alien race species that 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.160 is reproducing very quickly, and they are also being uh 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:14.679 fought by a humanoid alien race of hunters. Are you 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:15.680 getting this, sir. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.880 To alien species you didn't know about until this. 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.679 The military nukes Gunnison, killing the predator in the Xenomorphs. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:28.880 The predator's gun is then gifted to miss Utani, who 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.040 does not have a first name in the movie, who 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:36.000 is the CEO of a Japanese cybernetics and robotics company, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.760 the Utani Corporations. Now we have Whyland and Utani in 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:40.360 the universe. 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.120 Dude, I have to say the movies that are essentially 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:44.520 like so derived. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:45.800 Both these movies are dumb? 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.680 Should I to enjoy? Yeah? They are like so dumb, 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:53.760 It's so funny. How dedicated they have to say? 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:58.319 They worked really hard, like can't casting Lands Hendrickson, Yeah, 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:00.800 you know, being like and they're. 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.720 Like, we're gonna make a cannon manly, you're gonna kid, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.520 You're gonna care about this. People will be talking about this, 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.400 and it's like, people, these movies are. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:12.079 So dumb, But I gotta they commit really hard to 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:16.360 every single movie having a twist ending that is somehow 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:17.559 connectionally in law. 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.920 These reveals do have an interesting effect on the overall cannon, 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.360 which we will discuss as we get there. Next up 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:29.599 twenty twelve's Prometheus. The year is twenty eighty nine. Archaeologist 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.720 Elizabeth Shaw and her boyfriend Charlie discover that many ancient 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.720 human cultures have a very similar foundational myth that involves 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:43.160 very tall aliens from a distant star system. And these 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.839 tall aliens are the engineers, who I guess so life 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:53.320 across the galaxy or something. Peter Whyland, who is very 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.079 very very very very old and about to die, like 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:01.040 any second, he's about to die, about to go. It's 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.400 happening as his like video recording is being played to 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.880 this science team that he's put together. He's like, I'm 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.520 not by the time you watch this, I'm gone. So 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:18.520 heros an ambitious mission to a moon in that particular 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.839 star system that they matched to the cave paintings and 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.719 different pieces of art from all those human cultures, and 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.920 so they're going to this moon called LVY two twenty 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.600 three because he thinks the engineers are there, and mister 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.240 Whalan wants the engineers to tell him how he can 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:36.839 like avoid dying. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:41.920 Which is such a fucking come on, just asassin thing 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:42.160 to do. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.240 Like so many of the decisions in these movies are 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:50.240 so terrible, and it's really funny because once we you know, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.520 we are doing this in fictional chronological order. So at 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.800 this point, by the time you get to Prometheus. The 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.599 movie is essentially like an MCU filled easter egg for 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.199 the previous alien movies that were released. But at this 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.480 point chronologically, you're just like, my friend, what are you doing, 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:06.280 Like you. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:07.680 Have to spend this much money. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.600 I'm sure you could just find a side I mean 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.000 to hear this instead of going in the real world. 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:17.959 PayPal founder Peter Thiel, you know, investor in tech and 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.960 all around right wing nut job, has It's been credibly 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.360 reported that he injects himself with like the human blood 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.240 of like young healthy people. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.480 So yeah, yeah, you know. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:37.199 They're doing crazy shits in the real world, So yeah, okay. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.600 The journey take to LV two twenty three takes them 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.520 four years. They're in cryo sleep the whole time. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:42.959 Cash. 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.800 While they're in cryo sleep, they're watched over by David, 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.480 who is a synthetic uh humanoid that was designed by 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.439 mister Whyland. On LV two twenty three, the team finds 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.920 like a ton of artifacts from the engineers, including all 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.920 these jars of like black goo that turns out to 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:02.800 be a bio weapon. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:09.320 David takes like a drop played very creepily by Michael 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.040 Fastbat takes a drop of the. 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.240 Black goo, and he infects Charlie with it. Charlie then 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:19.559 has sex with Elizabeth and impregnates her unknowingly with this 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:25.440 very fast growing alien fetus, just as David wanted. She asks, yeah, 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.199 as it's growing, like she's in more and more physical distress, 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.280 and they do a scan and he's like says, very creepy, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.040 oh you've got this alien in you. And she's like, well, 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.319 let's get it out. He's like, well, we don't have 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.200 the stuff, we don't have any way to do that here, and. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:45.280 We yeah, yeah, yeah, bat, let's just see take you home. Okay, 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:46.800 seems like nothing. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:52.440 Instead, Elizabeth breaks into Charlie's thron's cabin on the ship 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.800 and uses her advanced like medical machine of which only 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.320 a dozen were made, and she does like an abortion 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:04.840 on herself. Moving cz this like wriggling squid like Alien. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.520 It's really gross, it's really great. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.200 It's super So can we just say you mentioned Shaly's 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:09.480 there on. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:13.520 This movie has like a wild cast Idris Elba, Charlie's 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.040 then Michael Fassbender, like wem Ridley Scott said he was 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.160 coming back, the original director of Alien. 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.360 Everyone was like, I'm jumping on that ship. Like, there's 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:23.320 some very. 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.600 Iconic images from this movie, like Idris Alba smoking a 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.200 Christmas tree that I feel actually have almost more longevity 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:31.840 than the movie. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:33.960 It did inspire many important memes. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.600 So we learned that LV two twenty three was an 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:42.440 engineer like bioweapon facility, they were making this bioweapon, and 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.120 that they had planned to release it on Earth. Non 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:51.680 canon sources, namely Ridley Scotty, directed this film says that 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:56.040 in his mind, they wanted to send the goo. They 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.720 made the decision to send the good to Earth like 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.000 two thousand years ago, and it was because the humans 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.840 had killed their emissary, the engineer emissary that sent to 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:06.560 Earth to tell them to like chill out and stop 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:11.240 being so violent, and that was Jesus. So Jesus was 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.760 an engineer, but then he didn't really put it in 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:18.360 so that credible kind of like the under that's the 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.840 subtext man. That's straight from Ridley scott The movie is 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:26.720 very heavily invested in the religious and God, and part 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.000 of the reason that Elizabeth even goes on it is 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.280 because she's religious and she wants to meet God. 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.240 She wants to understand faith and where she comes from. 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.240 That is incredible and I had no idea that was 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:38.920 part of the canon, So thank you for that one, 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.320 Redly Scott and Jason. 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.240 And now we mentioned that mister Oylan was like really 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.200 really old and about to die, and by the time 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.240 they land on LV tw twenty three, everbody thought he 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:52.080 was dead. But surprise, he's actually alive, and David goes 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.440 to get him from wherever he was. He was like 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.600 hiding in the in the ship the whole time. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.560 He had like a secret cabin, a secret at. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.360 A false bottom, like in a desk or something. So 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.240 they get him out and David, you know, goes with him, 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.760 and Charlie's then sorry, Meredith Vickers, I'll call him very 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.800 character name, and Elizabeth and I go to the engineership 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.560 and then David wakes up an engineer and he can 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.720 talk to them because he's been studying proto into a 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:25.480 European this ancient language, and so he translates for mister 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.600 Whyland and basically says, hey, I know we just woke 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.080 you up, but like my boss wants to know how 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.760 he cannot die, And the engineer is like, you came 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.160 all the way here for this, and he goes crazy. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.320 He rips David's head off. He's so passed off. He's like, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.480 he rips David's head off. He bashes mister Whyland in 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.600 the head with David's head and then you know it goes. 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:53.520 He tries to take off, but Elizabeth, you know, radios 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.920 to Adris Elba and is like, we need to crash 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.280 the ship or else, like he's gonna send the blackpoop 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.880 to Earth. The ship crashes. Now the engineer is like 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:07.400 chasing Elizabeth. It chases her through the human ship, where 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.560 all of a sudden, Elizabeth's xenomorph baby that looks like 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:16.840 now like a huge squid math subdues the engineer and 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:21.520 impregnates it, like puts its like egg overpositor into the 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.639 Engineer's mouth, which is like super super gross. Elizabeth then 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:29.159 recovers David's head and body and is like, Hey, I 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.080 want to go to the engineer homeworld. I need answers. 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.840 I want to find out why they're going to wipe 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:38.159 out humanity with the black goo and will you take me? 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:42.040 And David's like, you know what, fuck it, let's do it. 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.840 After this a xenomorph not a full alien as we 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.960 know from like alien and aliens, but like more kind 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:57.720 of like certainly one that looks like it's getting there. 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:02.359 It bursts out of the engine Year's chest and then 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.879 later off. This is kind of like this is not 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.120 in the movie, but it's part of like the off 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:12.680 Cannon and other fictional materials. Whaland Industries goes bankrupt because 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.399 mister Whalen put all his money. They flopped back to 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.280 just Comedia's mission and it is then acquired by the 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:23.840 Utani Corporation, creating the Whaland Utani Corporation that brings us 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:28.400 too Alien Covenant. The year is twenty one oh four. 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:34.919 The Whaland Utani ship Covenant, carrying several thousand space colonists, 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:39.400 is on its way to Oregie six. Walter and Advanced 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:44.600 Synth using the David format but with all of David's 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:48.359 like creative abilities that human beings found like really disconcerting 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.800 removed manages things during the long cryo sleep of the 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.800 crew and all the colonists. But then tragedy strike. There's 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:59.840 this neutrino burst and Walter has to wake everybody up 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:01.960 to get them out of their tubes because the ship 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.080 is damaged. But Captain James Franco sadly dies in his 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:05.879 cryo tube. 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.720 Rip to that, captain, Rip to him. 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.720 Now, the crew, while it's fixing the ship, gets a 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.960 distress signal from a nearby planet called planet four, and 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.360 the new captain, Captain Orum, is like, let's go investigate. 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.320 So they investigate and they find out that this distress signal, 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.760 which came in the form of take Me Home, Country 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:31.360 Roads by John Denver in Christ, is from a planet 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:36.359 planet four that is like completely like earthlike it can 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.879 it's got like water. They could live there. And so 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.840 the whole crew is like, you know what, we just 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.520 saw the captain like get burned alive in his tube. 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.679 Nobody wants to get back on sleep for seven years? 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.600 What if this is the answer to all our problems? 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.040 We just like do this, We just like stay here. Daniels, 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:00.399 who is James Franco's widow now and is the second command, 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.120 is like, wait, wait, wait, it seems a little too perfect, 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.719 doesn't it, Like why didn't we ever we do all 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.479 these scans, which is how we found six, But now 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.280 there's this closer planet and we never saw it and 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:15.360 it's like perfect, Like this doesn't seem any weird anybody 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.320 and everybody's like shut up, no. So they go to 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:23.680 investigator and these are the dumbest fucking scientists ever. So 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.639 they go down to investigate this earth like planet and 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:32.480 they go with like literally no ppe, no helmets, no breathers, 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.560 nothing that we can just breath. Well, I guess they're 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.920 just like sitting on stuff and touching things, and like 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.719 you don't see them drink the water, but they might 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:43.800 as well be because they're just like breathing the air. 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:49.320 They're raw dogging this fucking planet and shocking Goose because 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:55.040 what they get infected by like sports the black goo, right, 0:20:56.240 --> 0:21:00.879 and of course they then become hosts for xeno morphs. 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:01.440 Yeh. 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.040 By the way, we also see that this there's a 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.399 city here and it's full of like dead engineers. This 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.760 is like the engineer home World. So one of the 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.520 infected team members gets taken back aboard the ship the Covenant, 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:15.640 which is crazy. You just bring him back on he's 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:16.880 got he's sick with why. 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:17.320 Would you do it? 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.240 Every time they are not following. It's kind of a 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:24.720 theme like just keep him in quarantine. They were not prepared. 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.760 Whoever put together this team of colonists and they were 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:29.400 not prepared to be colonizrable. 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:32.600 The rest of the group like remains on the planet's 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.760 surface with another infected guy. They then get attacked by 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:39.159 the xeno morphs that were one of which was born 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.760 from the infected person. But then they're saved by David. 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:47.240 David's here Dun dun du. It turns out he's David 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.760 wiped out all the engineers by like dropping their black 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:54.800 goo bombs on them, and he's spent all the time, 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:58.560 like whatever it is eleven years later or something, trying 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:02.040 to perfect the perfect because he loves making things. 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:08.920 He just loves making you get some deeply wild moments. 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:11.920 I remember sitting in the movie theater in Long Beach, 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:14.960 where I believe I went with people from my old 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.159 comic shop that used to be on the waterfront at 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.440 Long Beach, and we went there and there is like 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:24.480 a five minute scene in this movie where one of 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:30.400 the Michael Fastbenders is like playing yeah and then they're 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.920 like gonna kiss and like it is legitimately one of 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.359 the weirdest movies. Jason's Fantastic Recap has always is just 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:40.040 zooming through this, making it seem far more action packed 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:40.440 than it is. 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.040 This is like such a weirdly. 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:49.400 Long, atmospheric like gothic movie, and the two Michael fastbenders 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:51.320 are just having the wildest part. 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:55.639 So David then kills Walter in the scene that Rosie 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:57.920 was just talking about. Yeah, the flute scene basically tricks 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:00.680 and like rips something out of his neck and fucking 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:05.040 drops him dead. But Walter is a significantly upgraded model 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:07.320 and he like fixes himself somehow off camera and comes 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:12.440 back and he takes out David Walter Daniels again. James 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.680 Franco's widow then flee back to the Covenant ship. But 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.720 then it turns out that the xenomorph hatched out of 0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.440 the sick guy that they brought into the fucking ship 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:28.720 is now loose on the ship. So David Daniels and 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:33.840 Danny McBride worked together to kill the alien. Hey, and 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:39.320 as Daniels is being put back into cryo sleep by this. 0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:43.480 Bit is actually genuinely terrifying and I still think about 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:44.560 how impact this and. 0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:48.720 Was fucking great. So Daniels has been put back into 0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:52.800 cry sleep by Walter and she says, hey, will you 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:55.320 help me build my log cabin? Earlier in the movie 0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:58.320
