That's right, Predator two. 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.760 Woo Wow. The crowd goes wild. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.720 Okay, let's precede this by saying that both Jason and 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.920 I shed a deep love for this movie when we 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:22.520 with children. 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.440 We love this movie, but it is. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.880 A very problematic movie when you watch it again. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.360 Hid watching it in the modern day, there's it definitely 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.520 raises some red flags. We open in Los Angeles. The 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:40.840 year is nineteen ninety seven. Los Angeles is slightly faturistic. 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:48.640 The Los Angeles is racked by hyper violent gang violence 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:55.680 between two, yes, very racially problematic, depictions of Colombian and 0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:00.280 Jamaican gangs that are at each other's necks end. This 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:05.200 violence attracts the attentions of a predator who's like, oh, 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:06.360 I love violence. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.959 Yeah, these guys are killing each other. 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.120 That I will kill the ones who are killing the 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.200 most because I'm a predator. That's what I love to 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:14.639 do is kill the most dangerous one. 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.359 And yeah, and then I'll be like the best killer 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.399 in downtown LA specifically. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.080 So the alien, just. 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.359 As racking up bodies, cuts a bloody swath through both 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.600 of these gangs. LAPD Officer Mike Harrigan played by Danny Glover. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.280 Huh that, Glover, Why were you cost in this movie? 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.320 I don't know, but I love it. He is too 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:36.960 old for this shit in this movie. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.519 He does you don't want to be able. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.600 To ashier suits in this than you would expect from 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:41.600 the Lethal Weapons series. 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:41.799 Huh. 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.720 So he's investigating the gang violence and he finds himself 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.639 in pursuit of the Predator, and of course nobody believes, 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.120 you know, he's getting all these reports, all this like 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:51.239 Invisible Killer. 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:52.239 It's weird. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.200 It wasn't a man, it was a monster or whatever. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.200 Towards the end of the film, as Harrogan is in 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:01.040 pursuit of this predator, the Predator goes to its ship 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.480 that it's hidden and as it you know, goes in 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.800 there to like restock on ammo et cetera, and like 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.440 treat its wounds, and we see among the Predator's trophies 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.960 is a xenomorph skull on the wall. And let me 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.440 tell you, in the pre internet era, when I saw 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.080 this as a kid and saw the alien style, I 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.920 was like, my mind literally exploded. But it's all I 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:29.640 could talk about. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:35.160 You don't understand the aliens exist in the Predator universe. 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.920 I've never heard of such a. 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.760 Cross this game. Yeah. 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.560 Literally, I think for me this was probably also my 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.640 first crossover movie. And then I think the second one 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.960 was like I don't know, Frandy in Hell Freddie goes 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:52.800 to Hell and at. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.880 The end he pulls down I mean that. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.200 I think those are the two memories I have of like, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.000 oh shit, like something's gonna happen. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.760 So Harrigan kills the predator with its own like little weapon. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.080 It's the Frisbee weapon. 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.440 And then a group of predators who I guess have 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:15.120 been like observing, appear and they take their fellow predators 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.479 corpse back with them to put it on the ship, 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.599 and they give Harrigan like an old like revolutionary war 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.520 pistol as. 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.479 A good job. All right, do you peace? 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.960 Next movie Alien Versus Predator two thousand and four. 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.760 The year is a year is two thousand and four. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:42.000 Charles Whaland played by Lance Henrickson that you played Bishop, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:47.560 the synthetic humanoid Bishop in Aliens and other roles which 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.640 we will get to in the Alien franchise, is the 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.799 CEO of Whalen Industries, and he sends a crack team 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:59.760 of international scientists and mercenaries to a recently discovered pyramid 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.679 which is under the Antarctic ice. Now the pyramid turns 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.760 out to be a predator like hunting temple, and it 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:08.560 turns out. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:10.680 How do they build it? 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:15.080 Because they're the space faring highly advanced hunters And it 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:16.000 turns out. 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.000 They're just like SPC the predators. Now, it turns out. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.080 The predators taught human beings how to build pyramids because 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:29.480 I guess people couldn't like figure out the triangle shape. 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.440 Like they were like they were like, this is a 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.680 two complex. What wo baby, I barely just got the 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.320 wheel going. I don't know what's going. 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:44.919 So predator culture apparently considers the xenomorph like the ultimate prey, 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.720 like the most dangerous thing you can hunt. 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.120 Right, So every one. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.440 Hundred years, the predator contestants come to Earth to hunt 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:58.440 xenomorphs specifically hatched from sacrificial human beings, and this alien 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.680 queen that they have like frozen in the pyramid. And 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.520 this is like the predator version of the Olympics, right, 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.280 It's a big deal. And the scientists and the mercenaries 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.839 get all caught up in this competition and they're like, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.320 we have to help the predators win because the aliens 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:18.240 if they overrun, you know, the predators, they'll like wild 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.599 on Earth and just kill everybody or use them as 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:25.599 you know, egg hatching incubators. The predators give Arctic guide 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.400 Lex played by snal A than a spear is a 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:33.600 gift and after this is after the predators defeat the aliens, uh, 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.040 they then get in the ship with one of their 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.520 fallen comrades named Scar and they take off, and then. 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.720 Soon after they take off, an. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:48.159 Alien predator hybrid bursts from the dead predator's chest. Now 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:54.240 you would, after several centuries of dealing with these creatures, 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:59.760 that the predators would like X ray everybody that they designed. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.960 Take that does with that, I. 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.960 Feel like to make sure they don't really think, y 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.719 know what these things do. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.800 And you're still like, yeah, yeah, don't even check it. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:10.800 Just bring it right on. 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.600 Just put him on the ship. He's fine. Definitely didn't 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:14.160 get that. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:18.360 Brings us to two thousand and sevens Alien Predator Requiem, 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.240 which occurs in the same year as Alien vers Predat 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.480 two thousand and four, happens in fact immediately following the events. 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.240 So right after the predators get in their ship and 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.160 take off to fly back to their home planet, the 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:36.880 pret alien, which is now hatched, it grows at a 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.680 fantastic rate, as we often see that these creatures do, 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.880 and immediately fucking goes ham and it causes the predator 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.920 home ship to crash into Gunnis in Colorado. Ah, Yes, 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.360 Gunnis in Colorado's poor town doesn't know what it's in for. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:56.640 The Xenomorphs then go fucking crazy and they start, you know, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:03.000 reproducing using humans as hosts, going nuts. A Predator champion 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:07.200 back on the Predator homeworld gets the distress signal and 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.000 it's like, fuck this, I'm going there alone. 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.880 If He's like, if you want to jump and I'm. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.920 Going to wipe out all the xenomorphs on Earth. 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.400 Now things get really chaotic and crazy, so much so 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:26.120 that the military like immediately gets involved and they decide, 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.440 we can't we can't let this spread any further. Let's 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:34.559 nuke gunnison, a thing you've seen in a million movie Outbreak, the. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:35.680 Blob, et cetera. 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.400 So, but I think it's actually like quite a reasonable 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.079 thing to do in this particular case. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.400 Jason's like, in this case. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.320 You go to do I feel like I feel like 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.400 they're they're not thinking about the fact that in the 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.319 canon of these kind of movies, if you nuke some creature, 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.040 it usually just becomes giant. So I would definitely be 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.480 thinking of the Godzilla potentials of the mutation, But I 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.080 still understand the intention. 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.080 It's pretty like you must imagine like the president would 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:10.160 have had to have been briefed Sally, Okay, mister President. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:16.439 So what we've got is a parasitic alien race species 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.200 that is reproducing very quickly, and they are also being 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:27.319 fought by a humanoid alien race of hunters. Are you 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.360 getting this, sir. 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.520 To alien species you didn't know about until this. 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.439 The military nukes Gunisen, killing the predator and the Xenomorphs. 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:41.480 The Predator's gun is then gifted to miss Utani, who 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.720 does not have a first name in the movie, who 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:48.640 is the CEO of a Japanese cybernetics and robotics company, 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.440 the Utani Corporations. Now we have Wayland and Utani in 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:53.000 the universe. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.800 Dude, I have to say the movies that are essentially 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.200 like so derived. 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:58.440 Both these movies are dumb. 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.440 Try to enjoy they are like so dumb, it's so funny, 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.199 how dedicated they have to. 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:10.960 Say they worked really hard, Like can't casting LANDA Hendrickson, Yeah, 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.720 I got you know, being like and they're like, we're 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.800 gonna make cannon manly, You're gonna kid, You're. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:17.560 Gonna care about this. 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.120 People will be talking about this, and it's like, people, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.840 these movies are so dumb, but I gotta they command 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:28.319 really hard to every single movie having a twist ending 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.240 that is somehow connectically in law. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.520 These reveals do have an interesting effect on the overall cannon, 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.040 which we will discuss as we get there. Next up 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:42.240 twenty twelve's Prometheus, The year is twenty eighty nine. Archaeologist 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:46.360 Elizabeth Shaw and her boyfriend Charlie discover that many ancient 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:50.359 human cultures have a very similar foundational myth that involves 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.880 very tall aliens from a distant star system. And these 0:10:55.960 --> 0:11:00.520 tall aliens are the engineers who I guess, so life 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:06.000 across the galaxy or something. Peter Whyland, who is very 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.720 very very very very old and about to die, Like 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.319 any second he's about to die. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.120 He is about to go. It's happening as his. 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.160 Like video recording is being played to this science team 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.160 that he's put together. He's like, I'm not by the 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:28.520 time you watch this, I'm gone. So hes an ambitious 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:32.520 mission to a moon in that particular star system that 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.360 they matched to the cave paintings and different pieces of 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.439 art from all those human cultures, and so they're going 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.280 to this moon called LVY two twenty three because he 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:46.160 thinks the engineers are there, and mister Whaland wants the 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.240 engineers to tell him how he can like avoid dying, 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.439 which is such a fucking come. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.920 On, just assassin thing to do. 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.880 Like, so many of the decisions in these movies are 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.920 so terrible, And it's really funny because once we you know, 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.160 we are doing this in fictional chronological order. So at 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.480 this point, by the time you get to Prometheus, the 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.280 movie is essentially like an MCU filled easter egg for 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.880 the previous alien movies that were released. But at this 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.160 point chronologically you're just like, my friend, what are you doing, 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.960 Like you have to spend this much money, I'm sure 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:21.960 you could just find. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.080 A sign to do this instead of going in the 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:24.680 real world. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:30.719 PayPal founder Peter Thiel, you know, investor in tech and 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.640 all around right wing nut job, has It's been credibly 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:39.000 reported that he injects himself with like the human blood 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.920 of like young healthy people. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.040 So yeah, yeah, you. 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:47.760 Know they're doing crazy in the real world. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.840 So yeah, okay. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.240 The journey take to LV two twenty three takes them 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.720 four years. They're in cryo sleep the whole time. Cash 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.480 While they're in cryo sleep, they're watched over by David, 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:03.120 who is a synthetic a humanoid that was designed by 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:07.160 mister Whyland. On LV two twenty three, the team finds 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:11.560 like a ton of artifacts from the engineers, including all 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.560 these jars of like black goo that turns out to 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:20.320 be a bio weapon. David takes like a drop played 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.640 very creepily by Michael Fastbat takes a drop of the 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.880 black goo, and he infects Charlie with it. Charlie then 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:32.320 has sex with Elizabeth and impregnates her unknowingly with this 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:38.040 very fast growing alien fetus, just as David wanted. She asks, yeah, 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.880 as it's growing, like she's in more and more physical distress, 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.640 and they do a scan and he's like says, very. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.400 Creepy, oh, you've got this alien in you. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.360 And she's like, well, let's get it out. And he's like, well, 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.000 we don't have the stuff, we don't have any way 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.120 to do that here, and we yeah, yeah, yeah, Bat, 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:56.760 let's just seeze you take you home. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.640 Okay, seems like nothing. 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:05.160 Very Elizabeth breaks into Charlie's thron's cabin on the ship 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.440 and uses her advanced like medical machine of which only 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.000 a dozen were made, and she does like an abortion 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:17.719 on herself, removing this like wriggling squid like alien. It's 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.240 really gross, it's really great super so can we just 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.920 say you mentioned Shaly's there on This movie has like 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:28.320 a wild cast is Yourselba Charlie's then Michael Fastbender, like 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.360 Wembridley Scott said he was coming back the original director 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:31.800 of Alien. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.960 Everyone was like, I'm jumping on that ship. Like there's 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.120 some very. 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:40.200 Iconic images from this movie, like Idris Alba smoking a 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.880 Christmas tree that I feel actually have almost more longevity 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:44.640 than the movie. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.640 It did inspire many important memes. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.320 So we learned that LV two twenty three was an 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:55.120 engineer like bioweapon facility. They were making this bioweapon and 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.800 that they had planned to release it on Earth. Non 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:03.720 canon sources, namely Ridley Scott, who directed this film, says 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.440 that in his mind, they wanted to send the goo. 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.240 They made the decision to send the good to Earth 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.960 like two thousand years ago, and it was because the 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:17.320 humans had killed their emissary, the engineer emissary that sent 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:18.960 to Earth to tell them to like chill out and 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:23.760 stop being so violent, and that was Jesus. So Jesus 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.360 was an engineer, but then he didn't really put it 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:30.760 in so that credible kind of like the under that's 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.480 the subtext, man, that's straight from Ridley Scott. 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:38.320 The movie is very heavily invested in the religious and God, 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.360 and part of the reason that Elizabeth even goes on 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.920 it is just because she's religious and she wants to meet God. 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.920 She wants to understand faith and where she comes from. 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.840 That is incredible and I had no idea that was 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.520 part of the canon, So thank you for that one, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:52.960 Ridley Scott and Jason. 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.880 And now we mentioned that mister Oylan was like really 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.840 really old and about to die, and by the time 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.160 they land on LVT twenty three, everybody thought he was dead, 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.120 but surprise, he's actually alive, and David goes to get 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:06.760 him from wherever he was high. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.720 He was like hiding in the in the ship the 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:09.280 whole time. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.560 He had like a secret a secret. 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.640 False bottom, like in a desk or something. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.480 So they get him out and David, you know, goes 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.080 with him, and Charlie's then sorry, Meredith Vickers, I'll call 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.960 it very character name. And Elizabeth and I go to 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.880 the engineership and then David wakes up an engineer and 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.040 he can talk to them because he's been studying proto 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:37.680 into a European this ancient language, and so he translates 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.840 for mister Whyland and basically says, hey, I know we 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.400 just woke you up, but like my boss wants to 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.960 know how he cannot die. And the engineer is like, 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.160 you came all the way here for this, and he 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.640 goes crazy. He rips David's head off. He's so pissed off, 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.560 He's like that, he rips. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:55.200 David's head off. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.600 He bashes mister Whyland in the head with David's head, 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:03.040 and then you know, it goes. He tries to take off, 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:07.879 but Elizabeth, you know, radios to Adris Elba and is like, 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.400 we need to crash the ship or else, like he's 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.800 gonna send the Black pep to Earth. The ship crashes. 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.040 Now the engineer is like chasing Elizabeth. It chases her 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.360 through the human ship, where all of a sudden, Elizabeth's 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.520 xenomorph baby that looks like now like a huge squid yeah, 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:31.440 math subdues the engineer and impregnates it, like puts its 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:35.399 like egg overpositor into the Engineer's mouth, which is like 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:40.000 super super gross. Elizabeth then recovers David's head and body 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.480 and is like, hey, I want to go to the 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:43.520 engineer Homeworld. 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:44.720 I need answers. 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:46.480 I want to find out why they're going to wipe 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.840 out humanity with the black Goo, and will you take me? 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:57.400 And David's like, you know what, fuck it, let's do it. 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:02.520 After this a xenomore, not a full alien as we 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.600 know from like alien and Aliens, but like more kind 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:10.359 of like certainly one that looks like right, it's getting there. 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:15.000 It bursts out of the Engineer's chest. Uh, and then 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.520 later off this is kind of like this is not 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.800 in the movie, but it's part of like the Off 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:25.359 Cannon and other fictional materials. Whaland Industries goes bankrupt because 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.040 mister Whalen put all his money. They flopped that to 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.960 just Coromedia's mission, and it is then acquired by the 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:36.480 Utani Corporation, creating the Whaland Utani Corporation that brings us 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:41.080 to Alien Covenant. The year is twenty one oh four. 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:47.760 The Whaland Utani ship Covenant, carrying several thousand Space Columnists, 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:52.080 is on its way to Orgie six Walter and Advanced 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:57.280 Synth using the David format, but with all of David's 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.520 like creative abilities that human beings found like really just 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:05.320 concerning removed manages things during the long cryo sleep of 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.240 the crew and all the colonists. But then tragedy strikes. 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:12.240 There's this neutrino burst and Walt tries to wake everybody 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.359 up to get them out of their tubes because the 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.639 ship is damaged, but Captain James Franco sadly dies in 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:18.560 his cryo tube. 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.720 Rip to that captain, rip to him. 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.399 Now, the crew while it's fixing the ship, gets a 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.760 distress signal from a nearby planet called Planet four, and 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.000 the new captain, Captain Orum, is like, let's go investigate. 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.000 So they investigate and they find out that this distress signal, 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.399 which came in the form of take Me Home, Country 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:44.040 Roads by John Denver in Christ, is from a planet 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:49.040 Planet four that is like completely like earthlike it can 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.760 it's got like water. They live there, and so the 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.720 whole crew is like, you know what, we just saw 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:59.240 the captain like get burned alive in his tube. Nobody 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:03.960 wants to get back for seven years. What if this 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:05.679 is the answer to all our problems? We just like 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.359 do this, We just like stay here. Daniels, who is 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.080 James Franco's widow now and is the second in command 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:15.800 is like, wait, wait, wait, it seems a little too perfect, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.359 doesn't it, Like why didn't we ever we do all 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.160 these scans, which is how we found six, but now 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.000 there's this closer planet and we never saw it, and 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:28.080 it's like perfect, Like this doesn't seem any weird anybody, 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.000 And everybody's like shut up, no. So they go to 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:36.359 investigation and these are the dumbest fucking scientists ever. So 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.400 they go down to investigate this earth like planet and 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:45.119 they go with like literally no ppe, no helmets, no breathers, 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:49.200 nothing that we can just bring. Well, I guess they're 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.600 just like sitting on stuff and touching things and like 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.400 you don't see them drink the water, but they might 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.560 as well be, because they're just like breathing the error. 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:01.920 They're raw dogging this fucking planet and shocking Goose because 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:07.680 what they get infected by like sports the black goo, right, 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:13.560 And of course they then become hosts for xeno Morphs. 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:16.720 By the way, we also see that this there's a 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.040 city here and it's full of like dead engineers. This 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.479 is like the engineer home World. So one of the 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:26.159 infected team members gets taken back aboard the ship the covenant, 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.280 which is crazy. You just bring him back on he's 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:29.840 got he's sick with Why would you. 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.199 Do it every time? They are not following. 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:36.440 It's kind of like just keep him in quarantine. They 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.879 were not prepared whoever put together this team of colonists, 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.840 and they were not prepared to be colonizing the. 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.640 Rest of the group like remains on the planet's surface 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.639 with another infected guy. They then get attacked by the 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:52.240 xeno morphs that were one of which was born from 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:56.040 the infected person. But then they're saved by David Damon's 0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:57.040 here dun dum. 0:21:58.160 --> 0:21:59.640 It turns out he's. 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:03.040 David wiped out all the engineers by like dropping their 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:07.480 black goo bombs on them, and he's spent all the time, 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:11.199 like whatever it is eleven years later or something, trying 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.640 to perfect the perfect zenomorph because he loves making things. 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:21.560 He just loves this. You get some deeply wild moments. 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:24.680 I remember sitting in the movie theater in Long Beach, 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.639 where I believe I went with people from my old 0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.840 comic shop that used to be on the waterfront at 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.119 Long Beach, and we went there and there is like 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.119 a five minute scene in this movie where one of 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:43.080 the Michael Fassbenders is like playing yeah, and then they're 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.560 like gonna kiss and like it is legitimately one of 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:50.040 the weirdest movies. Jason's Fantastic Recap has always is just 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:52.640 zooming through this, making it seem far more action packed 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:53.119
