      Just thought I would point out that these are all different planets. LV426 (Acheron) is a moon actually and is the planet from the first film where they find the Engineers ship AND the setting of the second film where Hadley’s Hope terraforming station is located.
      Fiorina 161 is the planet from the 3rd movie.
      LV-223 is also a moon and is the neighbor to Acheron (LV-426) from the first two films. This is the location of the film Prometheus, and is the site for the Engineers bio weapons research and development.
      Planet 16EG14 aka planet 4 is the planet that this film, Alien Covenant takes place after the ship is rerouted from its course to Origae-6, the colony planet they were heading to. This is also the planet that David drastically alters the ecosystem on when he releases the toxin above the Engineer city (also planet 4).
      Alien Resurrection takes place on a research vessel.
      Hope that clarifies the locations.

    Little note: the Neomorph (white xeno) was suppose to encounter the new Protomorph (black xeno) during the escape to the evac ship. Unfortunately the method of puppetry (yes the aliens are practical props but edited in post like in Alien 3) limited the motions for a brawl and the scene was scrapped.
    However, this fight is included in the book copy. The scene plays out that one surviving Neomorph ambushes the team and the Protomorph catches up. These two aliens sense competition with the other and begin fighting each other, thus allowing the team to flee. While the Neomorph had faster attacks, the Protomorph was more robust, bigger, and stronger. It tanked all the attacks and killed the Neomorph with ease before resuming the pursuit.

    As o commented before, the final part of this trilogy was canceled, the story was to continue with the engineers coming to find what David had done, it was not certain that these were the engineers he killed as they look a lot different from the engineers in Prometheus. Fans were not happy with the idea that David is supposed to to have created the alien. But in Prometheus you do see a sculpture Of the alien.

    • @applegeepedigree
      @applegeepedigree 5 місяців тому +7

      I loved the idea that David created the alien. It is 100% canon that the original alien was biomechanical, and this give the explaination of how the mechanical side came ino the picture. My guess is that David would finally add a bit of himself into its final form, thus completed it.

    • @Nerdlabor
      @Nerdlabor 4 місяці тому +1

      Originally, I believe this was also mentioned independently of Scott or other involved parties, the alien species that David wipes out in Covenant was supposed to be the Engineers species. But as you say, that didn't sit well with fans, and the fact that they messed up the design of the Engineers in that movie and made them noticeably different from the ones we met, certainly opens up the potential for integrating a retcon into a perhaps future concluding prequel trilogy part, so that they were just some other species created by the Engineers, like humans as well.
      Yes, in Prometheus we already see a sculpture that looks very similar to the Xenomorph we know. I think it's very likely to assume that the Engineers also conducted numerous experiments with the black goo. Just in the process of developing it, etc. And perhaps they also conducted experiments on themselves or on other alien species they created, like humans, in the more distant past. We know from Prometheus that they visited Earth occasionally in the past. And the black goo has led to developments that repeatedly have similarities in the design of the Facehugger or the Xenomorph. Therefore, it's not unlikely that the Engineers have already created creatures similar to the Xenomorph we know through experiments with the goo. The concept that the definitive Xenomorph, as we know it from Alien 1, was created by David or something like that, I actually like. It's like a circle closing at the end.

    • @mjm3091

      ​​@@Nerdlabor to be fair - Engineers definitely moved around through many worlds, so this very much could have been their homeworld, where the traditionalists regressed to super basic style of living. The Engineer in the Prometheus is said to be almost immortal, likely a product of bio-engineering himself, created with a mission to start more life (or in his case to eradicate the Earthian life after humanity failed). The people on the planet destroyed before the Covenant, could have been much more mortal kind of Engineers. It's also important to mention - even if technology evolved, pretty much all travelling through space takes a lot of time - days, decades and centuries that impact history of every species, including humanity.

    Can’t wait for Alien: Romulus! Heard it’s supposed to be set between the events of Alien 79’, and Aliens 86’, during the 57 years Lieutenant Ellen Ripley was asleep on the Nostromo’s emergency escape shuttle. It’ll be interesting to see how they go with it. The writer showed it to Ridley Scott, and Scott had nothing but high praise for it, said it sounded “F-ing incredible,” and he especially liked the dialogue. The writer said it had been his dream for a man of Scott’s talent, and caliber, to be that impressed with one of his works. So it should be good. Release date set (so far) August 16, 2024.

    • @EmpyreanDreamer
      @EmpyreanDreamer 19 днів тому +7

      That's not really true. If anything Prometheus makes the universe feel more vast and mysterious and blurs the line between science and religion. The main problem with the movies is Ridley Scott caving to "fans" and making such a drastic change in direction going from Prometheus to Covenant. They should have focused on the engineers and the philsophical questions surrounding that whole story line and kept it as loosely connected to Alien as possible.
      But I will say they hardly explain everything, there's plenty of mystery. For example so many people are under the impression that David ends up being the creator of the Xenomorph despite the fact there's a lot of evidence in the films to disprove that. He recreates them at best using designs and technology he got from the engineers and attempts to improve them because he has a god complex and believes he's the superior being.

    One of my favorite parts of the movie was the musical score.
    I really liked that “whoo-whoo” motif that they used. It sounds like either woodwind synths or some other industrial effect. It plays out almost all the time in some form or other. The Med Bey sequence being a good prime example. I also really like those electronic beats in the sounds too. Has a really sick bass tone that I never get sick of. Of course, it’s always nice hearing Jerry Goldsmith’s themes from the first film making a few appearances as well. Sounds just as triumphant and romantic as it did long ago.

    How about this? The Engineer's created Humankind but for some reason decided to wipe us out but failed in Prometheus.

    The ship on LV-426 carrying the eggs in Alien can't be David's creation. The engineer in the chair was fossilised. Dallas said it. That ship had been sitting there for hundreds or thousands of years. And that's part of why so many people hate this movie with a passion. Scott is undermining his own 1979 masterpiece with this new David narrative. It doesn't make sense. Also, when you go explore an unknown planet : step 1 you wear protective gear like A HELMET ! But this crew aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. And another thing that doesn't add up to the lore : these protomorphs (or whatever they're called) that grow from spores are much more efficient at infecting a host and becoming a super deadly killing machine than the classic xenomorph life cycle we know. So why bother with adding eggs and fafehuggers. It's a step backward. So many things wrong with this movie.

    Prometheus released in 2012 and takes place in (2089 and 2093) as for Covenant released in 2017 and takes place in (2104) which Alien released in 1979 but takes place in the year (2127) the Newer 2000's movies technology doesn't make any sense to the Prometheus (2089) technology that it completely destroys that movie itself just by show it, I guess Riley Scott though he could do the George Lucus Star Wars switch and that's why the movies are the worse of the franchise. At least Star Wars did show holograms in The Empire Strikes Back movie which made the Phantom of the Menace link up with tech, but Alien didn't do any of that. Aliens Ripley wakes up after being saved in the year (2184) which means Bishop would be a super Android and not a slow-moving dumb robot as he shows in movie plus the Technology on LV426 and everything else would have been so much more complex and better technology than what's in the movie, just some of the Reasons why this timeline doesn't work with trying to make movies about what happen before Alien nothing lines up or makes any sense, No Logic! given Weyland-Yutani Corporation would use and have the best newest technology. 👎👎💩

    If you want more Alien IP while you wait for Romulus, check out the 40th Anniversary Alien Anthology. It's a handful of short films that add to the lore. All together, I don't even think it's an hour long, but it's pretty damn cool. Especially because each part of the anthology was directed by upcoming directors who were all mega fans of the franchise

    It always seemed to me that the chest burster is essentially fully a seperate entity from the host and it just exits the host through the chest.
    But the back burster makes no sense as an exit path... so that lead me to theorize that maybe neo-morphs aren't the lifecycle of an organism at all, but they are almost like a kind of rapid onset cancer.... the black nanite pathogen in a sense infects the host to make a kind of cancer and it coopts the hosts organs and spine to create itself, so it exits the back because it IS the back.
    That's akso why it looks fleshy, its MADE of the host.

Also the crew was pathetically inept. Why have a second-in-command of the mission that wasn't confident and extremely competent. Visually it was amazing of course for a Ridley Scott film.

    Once again, the viral marketing campaign & the prologue short that was released online were the shining stars in the release of Alien: Covenant. Whilst I don’t think it’s a bad film, I do find the actions of the crew questionable.
    It’s such a shame that the prequel trilogy has been left incomplete. For example, we can only assume that David is responsible for the derelict craft the crew of the Nostromo find in the original Alien film. Did he further engineer the xenomorph, giving it the biomechanical look we’ve become accustomed to? Who’s the engineer the crew of the Nostromo find? If David is responsible for the derelict on LV-426 how did he manage to create so many eggs; as we can only assume he created a Queen. The list of possible questions goes on & on.
    Fun Fact: The opera Das Rhinegold; which David listens to, possibly influenced LOTR.
    J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novels The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954) share elements with Der Ring des Nibelungen, but Tolkien himself denied that he had been inspired by Wagner's work, saying that "Both rings were round, and there the resemblance ceases." In spite of Tolkien's protestation, there are various similarities in addition to annularity: a ring of power which curses its bearer; a powerful wanderer in a large hat carrying a spear (Wotan) or staff (Gandalf the Grey); magical invisibility; the reforging of a powerful sword; a riddle contest; Sméagol's murder of his cousin Deagol for possession of the ring and Fafner's murder of his brother Fasolt for the same reason; the slaying of a powerful gold-hoarding dragon; to name but a few. Tolkien may have drawn, albeit partially, upon common source material, including the Völsunga saga and the Poetic Edda. The crucial element of the storyline, that the Ring is evil, and will work of itself to the undoing of its possessor, is common to both, as is the lust for world domination connected with its power, and that the Ring has been stolen (Wagner) or captured (Tolkien) from its rightful owner(s).

    I personally disliked Prometheus when it was released. I felt it was too far away from the xenomorphs that we knew and didn't appreciate the direction. That was until covenant was released. After I watched covenant for the first time it made me go back to watch prometheus immediately. It made me fall in love with direction that was taken when some of the dots were joined together.
    Aliens is hands down still my favourite but between alien, prometheus and covenant it's hard to put a second place.
    Keep in mind the lore in predator and avp (franchise) does not add up now prometheus and covenant explains the xenomorph origin story. I'm not going to explain how and why so you don't get spoilers but you'll see by the timeline of events if/when you get to watch them.
