This is one of the single greatest lore videos on UA-cam. I get chills before I watch it and I watch it often. And it’s not provocative or anything. It’s just, awesome.
I can´t believe nobody ever thought about a spin-off movie or series about Peter Weyland... Absolutely incredible...
you mean an alien movie ?
Great to know that 400 years after initial introduction, green text terminals still rule the technology landscape, completely impervious to the millions of innovations that follow.
We still use brushes to sweep floors, plates to eat from etc. etc. Sometimes somethings are born complete.
@@dickmonkey-king1271 Except that green text terminals are not among those things. And I say this as the most nostalgically partial person that I know to those terminals. Yellow on black and black on yellow are just about the most optimal combinations in viewing text for prolonged periods. That technology simply did not exist in the era when terminals were first introduced.
@@morpheus6749 its just that the saga was created in the late 70s we could just think that it has not change in the aliens universe because they have not find a way to change it
@@morpheus6749 show me a perfect movie/series with no flaws in logic or set design at any point, with no inconsistencies. I won't wait
Fuck Harlem Dangerous es ist sokiller
In many ways, the fact that Weyland-Yutani retained it's forward momentum instead of stagnating like what happens to most corporations, is pretty amazing.
Weyland = best inventor in alternate worlds history.
Weyland-Yutani corp = the most evil corp ever :-)
What do you mean "alternate worlds history"?
@ dystopian corporation 3 has left the chat.
Trioptimum has entered the chat
Nope.. WY is by far one of the most benevolent ones... is not like Amazon or Umbrella... or worst.. EA... fuck those guys.
@Lance Pableo EA... Hold my micro transactions.
Great job on this. The only unbelievable part is that it took until 2056 to invent the power loader which is essentially a forklift. It's hard to believe that the cure for cancer, faster-than-light travel, artificial human skin, and a host of other amazing inventions were all made before they figured out a wearable forklift. Lol. Your channel is awesome, btw. Thanks for all the great content. I'm exploring everything I've missed as I write this. Seriously, you do a fantastic job.
To be fair it's already 2024 and we still don't have them, and what autonomous robots and powered suits we have are limited in power and mobility.
@@jollygoodfellow3957I see what you’re saying but we’re far closer to the loader than anything else he mentioned. Specially FTL
Maybe it's just that the use case for the power loader didn't exist until then? It's not that they couldn't have made the power loader before
I believe they were waiting on Reebok to design a cool enough design of sneakers to match the awesome look of the power-loader… 😅
This was awesome and exactly what I wanted when I searched Weyland Yutani history. You sir, are a treasure.
As a proper Alien fan that was an outstanding bit of research
So far after 6 Alien movies we never got a glimpse of who Yutani is and where her character will rise in the franchise.
Yutanis in bladerunerr na?
@@HITTAGAMEhe say u brade runna
@@GenX_Catholic tell him i'm eating
I feel like this is so well put together that it could be a ingame video you watch in isolation 2 giving you the player more insight into the company
This channel makes me feel so good in side, I wish I could find other channels that are so dedicated to stuff that I like
over rated. terrible collation of lore.
Search for a channel by "Isaac Arthur"
"Klayton Fioriti" does a really great job with Jurassic park.
@@samuelwright7270 been watching him for years now, great channel
Campbell Wallace lol😂 yea, it sure is.
So detailed, this is an amazing timeline... I love how you even included the simulation of data blackouts for the incidents that the movies ensued, which would indicate the company's attempt to "silence" any recollections of the events.
In the movies they're always presented as the bad guys, but they seem to have done almost exclusively amazing stuff for humanity
MovieNerd_EP After everything he had done for humanity it all went to waylends head and he slowly went power hungry
He was getting really old as well. Could have been a combo of that and some form of senility maybe too?
We only see it as an evil entity because we hate big corporations, and they wanted to study the Xenos but if you think about it, closely studying your enemy is a good way to find a weakness to defeat them. Weyland advanced humanity so much I doubt they actually would mean to bring the infestation to Earth without controlling it
they wanted nothing but to weaponize the Xenomorphs
Letting any conglomerate gain so much power inherently opens the door for overreach and such. They did a lot of good but they in effect gained control over nearly every facet of life. Soon you begin to wonder what hope humanity has for survival if we're utterly dependent on a single corporation which can act in any way it desires by sheer value of its economic power.
Just give the man a xenomorph, he's earned it, I mean come on, he cured cancer!
It's a funny thought isn't it? "Man cures cancer, dooms humanity to instead live as livestock for aggressive predatory creature."
Exactly! So many more potential hosts!
In Philosophy that’s called balance you can’t upset the universe like that. Things could go wrong 😑 he did a lot great things but at what cost of humanity! ?
@@mrcooki3monster928 fair point
I feel like I am aging by watching this. Am I the only one feeling Iike that? Hearing the years go by.
One of the most amazing storylines of a universe that i would love to see expanded to something greater than starwars ever was and when looked back upon people would say this is what si-fi is all about
This was wonderful. Your narration is so professional and the background music lends a eerie atmosphere close to the original movie. Thank you. I felt like I was listening to a future Business 101 webinar of successful corporations.
Thank you very much! You have no idea how much that means to me. :)
Alien Theory have you thought about pinging this over to space x as this can very easily mirror Elon Musk. I really loved this video and what a fantastic time line. Well done on the effort and narration. Space X motto could very well be “building better worlds”
I thought he was about to fall asleep.
...not even close. It sounds like what it is - an overexcited fan getting it wrong...
Try gameological dig. He deals with game lore. I highly recommend going with SF game lore of SOMA!
The Alien franchise was quite advanced for it's time. Both in visual effects & lore
Your Alien videos, and the format in which you present them, is unrivaled. Those other guys don't even come close to your professionalism.
bagginsthemighty Giving credit where credit is due!!
3:29 , the exact moment you know someone turns evil. The slicked back executive hair.
I felt like a colonial marine stumbling upon this information
+The Trooper S2 clearance and above, soldier!
Alien Theory oh sorry sir
DON'T SNOOP AROUND AND GET ON THE READY LINE MARINE!!!
The Trooper YOU DONT GET PAID TO READ MARINE!
Assholes and elbows darlings, assholes and elbows......
Trooper, come here......COME HERE ! ! ! !
Truly magnificent. I first watched this 6 months ago. It's inspired my creativity, thank you! Quality fan fiction.
@Alien Theory, nice video, the background music added an element of suspense, and the voice sounded so calm, it just kept me glued to the video! I always enjoy well narrated lore!
+Gilgamesh, King Of Heroes thank you very much. I was very hoarse after recording this one lol
I echo the praise... Unlike many that have cropped up on the internet over the years - Yours was very well researched and you did not try to fill holes in teh timeline with fluff that isn't canon or fan theories... You also more or less got the time 100% accurate - Given the mess the timeline is in - That's no mean feat!
This video is so satisfying. I can’t express the feeling I get when I watch this. So neat.
This must've taken some serious work. Well done. Very, very cool.
It was a lot of hard work and I'm very glad you enjoyed it! :D
I still can't stress enough how amazing this is, man! Good job! You are awesome!
Thank you very much! Really glad you enjoyed it!
WY Corp is pretty good to work for. My only complaint is....aaaah!!!....( data missing).....
Sometime before 1989, we saw Guy Pearce waiting at a bus stop in Box Hill, at the time he was an actor for the TV series Neighbours. Nice fellow, he waved back to us after we waved to him from our school bus. It's wild he's now become a part of Alien Lore !!
This was fantastic.
Chris Dooley truly.
I disagree. It covers topics that aren't involved with Weyland-Yutani.
Guy said 3 centuries fucking with xenomorphs. Humans never learn.
So at the age of 15 he became a billionaire. Unbelievable
Nice work man, feel like there's so much room for more movies from this, like the search for Covenant 😬
Alien Universe 2017 - We discover alien life on Europa. Real life 2017 - Earth is flat... smh
Ikr lol
gaysngreys damn straight
Yeah xenomorphs aside, i kind of want to live in this universe.
Jeong you would probably be on one of the "newly formed" colonies that has a big ass human Xenomorph hive. Brought to you by Wayland Industries
deenman23 and you just proved his point
*The true villains of the Alien series.*
Patrick and a complex one too; they cured cancer and solved global warming.
@@anonamouse2780 I wish we could have seen after Alien: Resurrection to see what Wal-Mart did after they bought Weyland-Yutani out 😅😆😂🤣
This channel is really amazing.
I had no idea there was so much more to the alien series! Thank you. I've really enjoyed all of this.
This material is a pure gold! Well done, man.
Forgot the part about Wal-Mart taking over
+steven Navarra lol this video covers a lot but there's still much more to talk about when it comes to WY...the Wal-Mart takeover is going to be mentioned in my next WY-centered video.
Good in depth video, hope they come through with Alien 5, we need Segourtney Weaver back in this franchise.
Is the Wal-Mart takeover even considered canon?
Wal-mart taking over Wy? wtf?
John Six. i hope not
My video ended at 0:39 because I don't have S2 authorization, I'm trying to contact corporate security for legal prosecution and possible involuntary host for facehugger.
I've seen some of your other videos, they were also really good but this one is excellent and immediately made me subscribe :) great job man this video is very well put together
I love the soothing narration and calm, yet slightly ominous background music (especially when it comes to chronicling the dark deeds of a mega-corporation). It reminds me of the Viewer (Library) from Resident Evil 5.
Yes, I liked this. But it bothers me that the only cybernetics program we hear about is the "David series". What about "Ash" (Alien) or "Bishop" (Alien 2 & 3). We never hear anything further about those.
Good point! I also thought they should have included more info on the patent "mother" computer/A.I. controlling things behind the scenes on the Nostromo...Great timeline though! Awesome really!
TO: B0M0A0K: Sorry! You didn't have proper clearance. lol! But ah listen; if you keep this info between your ears.This is what I heard/::
Bishop was a covert syn-tech; he was implanted into the crew with a plausible deniability chip; also his aggression chip was removed so he wouldn't harm the crew,and thus be found out,or thought to be rogue. W.Y. thought this was best course of action to reach his goal,and this also granted W.Y. plausible deniability as well because Bishop's main goal; was an ulterior motive to that of the crew at the time. Why you maybe asking? Because Weyland-Yutani was about to lose their defense contract,and at this point it would cost them trillions of dollars. So W.Y. was very eager to recoup those funds at any cost. That's about all I've got for now. My apologies my friend,but I can say no more. without incurring the wrath of Ripley 9...
LoL Hope you like my lil story of why you didn't have clearance. It was fun coming up with it. 😃😉
Hope everyone has a great 2019!
Charles Bishop Weyland was Peter's father and due to his parent's divorce during his early formative years led him to become a reclusive yet brilliant scientist raised in England. Bishop Weyland died during a trip to Antarctica from chronic congestive heart failure. His remains were recovered after a measured deep core 8.4 earthquake collapsed a remote derelict exploration depot. Through DNA mapping and from his memoirs an early AI prototype was developed and enhanced by Peter Weyland to honor his father. Subsequent versions achieve near "singularity" similar to David prototypes.
Ash-A.I. Science Officer Model [Classified S3 clearance required]
They are all the goddamn same! Just a bunch of Murderous tin cans!
you just tripped him up'
Great stuff, man... apart from some moments where the text was washed out against the background, this was pretty much perfect. I even thought it might have been content from a boxset I dont have. Really cool!
That's the best video this channel has posted - and there have been lots of great ones.
Thank you so much! I put a lot of work into my videos and this is the one I'm most proud of. At least so far! I appreciate your kind words. :)
Nicholas Dickens I agree 100%. Best constructed video out there!! A real gem!!
unless i report you to weland-yutani or USM....
This is a fascinating breakdown of the Alien lore. Excellent video, Alien Theory!
Great work here, an excellent summary of the whole Alien franchise. 10 out of 10.
5-25-20. That was AWESOME!!!
The first time I saw the movie Alien, was in my neighbor's garage, on 8mm reel to reel projector. Greg Clark was his name and he was a genius home taught special effects and props creator!!
That sounds so cool....to watch Alien for the first time on reel to reel....😁👍
Brilliant and fun, should be part of a briefing in an alien simulator ride
Well done! Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Shame that the cool Prometheus homepage was closed
I remember it had a very neat page where you could explore space and check out information on all explored planets and colonies of weyland corp
Thorsteinn Gislason love that page 😢
probably find it on the wayback machine?
That was a really entertaining and well put-together video on the alien franchise good job man I appreciate it was really cool
Right at the end I thought you were going to say Weyland Yutani bought by Walmart.
Dark Jello Well.....
That is canon....
Dark Jello Lmao!!i remember now,fucking Walmart's a mega corp
We laugh at the goofy Weyland-Yutani cartoon from the 21st Century. They got absolutely everything wrong about MicroAppWalDisney.
Then phrases to "data missing", LOL!
Dark Jello Disney
Please more long videos like this one ! Excellent work
Never knew that Weyland is synonym for ACME...
Man I would love to go to the year: 2189
What’s ACME
I was glued to my screen watching this. You Sir are a true scholar!
Absolutely incredible video. I feel like no one else would've done this with as much passion and verisimilitude to the tone of the best of the series. As a kid, the mystery behind the company always intrigued me, as well as the logo which would appear occassionally. Also, could you tell me the ambient drone that plays beginning at 7:30 Top notch video!
I need to contact corporate security before I get in trouble for watching this!
You missed that Weyland-Yutan was bought by Walmart corporation, mentioned in Alien Resurrection.
Your channel is a gold mine, man.
16:28 Alien: Isolation. Damn good horror game and without question the best Alien game on the market
Absolutely👍
I love the atmosphere manufactured with the whole video. The green Mother text, the screen freaking out when Missing Data coming up, the even tempo of narration. So, so good!
Maybe you should try the comics next? Hehehehe...
The one moment I was anticipating finally happens at 17:43.
Took >300 years of a company monopolizing literally everything for people to decide mega-corporations are maybe not such a good idea. Lmao xD
Generally I don't watch these, but I stumbled upon this treasure and got hooked all the way through.
"Mother! I've turned the cooling unit back on!..MOTTHHEERR!!(bwipbwip! Bwipbwip!)-Morher- "The Ship..Will Automatically Destruct in T-4:59.(bwipbwip! Bwipbwip!) Ripley- "YOUU BIITCCHH!!! AAAGGHHH!!!"
You've outdone yourself! So good. Your work by far sets the bar :) great job. Be proud, man.
+Saint Theresa thank you so much! Yes I am very proud of this one, will probably be a good long while before I can top it. It exhausted me though lol
That's pretty good in military knowledge and terminology. Most sources and media gets it wrong.
This channel, and Hybrid Network are my faves. Thank you for some of the unknown lore in this universe. I wonder and hope for the future technology keeps bringing us...
This was awesome! Excellent work, man!
Do you have any vids like this with more Blade Runner references in it? Such as info on Eldon Tyrell, Blade Runner units, the Voight-Kampff test, etc. That would be ultra awesome. Thanks!
Yeah, I saw on other timelines that Eldon Tyrell was Peter Weiland’s mentor?🤔 Since Ridley Scott recently announced Blade Runner and Alien are in the same universe...this video needs an update!👍
Great Job! I felt like I was hearing a memo of someone from the Alien movie. I just watched Prometheus for the third time and after your video I understand the whole franchise much better.
first
Alien Theory damn you
Alien Theory how do xenomorphs drink and if so what do they drink
lol
Alien Theory what?
Burst
I imagine these are the Data Files that Call talks about hacking into in Alien Resurrection...This was fantastic btw, and beautifully edited and read as well. Great work! You got yourself another subscriber. :)
I loved the picture of Weyland at 25. He looked like an 80s soap opera heartthrob with that haircut ;-)
When it came to the patent for skin similar to humans my appreciation for this franchise went up. This was seriously ahead of its time.
btw Walter was better than David. Walter was like Bishop he always cared about his human constituents. they were protectors, and more human than any other androids.
It was a nice touch having Weyland's father be a professor of comparative mythology. One of Weyland's defining character traits is his megalomaniacal god complex. Considering he was so gifted, it's not a stretch to say that he was influenced to believe -- or, at the very least, led himself to believe, based on his father's work, that he was a god.
He have grandiose narcissistic personality dissorder. And he passes the same traits on to David 1. You see this in the first scene where he devalues Davids natural curiosity ( that he is made to have). Because he is a envious God ( his inferiority complex). Envious of his creations abillity to outlive live him for thousands of years.
So he makes him serve him tea, to show him his superiority ( the narcissistic superiority complex).
The narcissist has a split personality. And wheres the mask’s of both Hero ( God) and victim.
He has even called his creation David like the first man born of God. When in reality he has created Kain. The brother killer.
Excellent video.The advancement in FTL tech reminded me of The Shaw Fujikawa FTL drives from Halo Universe.If only that breakthrough would be achieved in our lifetimes....
THIS BRINGS BACK 🔙 BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OF THE WINTER 🥶 OF 2021!!!!
Very interesting stuff and great talking throughout.
I am playing Aliens: Fireteam Elite so it's rekindled my interest in Aliens again.
Well done. You are truly a fan.
So awesome. Your talents never cease. Thank you! You're incredible!
LOVE THE FORMAT!!!!
Wow, I really enjoyed this timeline explanation, I thought I had it all sorted out, but now it all makes more sense.
Nice job on hte narration mate. I guess the events of the AVP games are not cannon WY lore, otherwise the entries from the xenomorph contacts on LV-1201 (AVP 2) would make very interesting additions :)
AVP 2 was one of the best AVP games with a rich story and multiple character perspectives.
I've used this video in a Aliens RPG game i'm running. Thanks much for the great In-World content!
Weyland-yutani takes the best field trips
They choose Sci Fi movies to leak real life technologies and scientific discoveries. I wonder what technology from the Aliens series mirrors real life. Once Trump gets done dealing with this Coup and punishes all the Traitors, he is going to start rolling out a lot of this secret tech that the Deep State was going to use on us! He will also start putting out all the Cures that have been kept secret because they make no money when people get cured of disease.
Castlevania Trump is there a cure for your low iq?
@@castlevaniatrump1777 I admit, Trump did several good things, but I think that you’re taking this a bit.. Far....
But if you’re trolling, please continue.
This shit is so good, your narration really sets the mood of the quintessential rogue corporation.
Very Interesting, enjoyed!💯
This was fantastic! I had goosebumps watching this
This content is amazing. I really paid more attention to the all David models. David's character in Covenant was just amazing. How a synthetic (artificial person) is so human like. The way he went after Daniels was so human like. It still makes me question what did he do to Shaw. I hope somehow we get a full explanation of what he did to Shaw and how did he defeat Walter. So many questions lol. I wonder what he will do to Daniels. Maybe kill her right on the spot or make everyone seem that she is insane. Maybe even wake her up early in cryo and somehow put a facehugger on her face or in-pregnant her with xeno babies. Maybe somehow (just thinking) make her the first queen. He made Shaw physically different, why not do the same to Daniels. She's special to him now, just like Shaw.
david experimented on shaw to create the alien life cycle, its presumed he is going to use daniels to create the first queen and remove the need for artificial creation
Word now is the next alien movie won't be a sequel to covenant but a whole new trilogy. Thank God btw. This is because of Disney acquisition of fox.
No leave poor dani alone!!😂
Just dropped on your site. I'm amazed and mesmerised by your vision and professional output. Thanks for all the effort you've put into it and for the pleasure it has given me.
I'm not gonna lie I binge your content, also would love your take on the life cycles found in "Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction" 2003 release it had a massive amount of information as well as ways to breed xenomorphs. I mention it because it had many Xenomorphs and Predators that have just began coming to light in films but some of them are seen in the comics but yeah.... idk been an Xenomorph fan since I was like 5 lol but I used to play alot of the games avoided the new release like cancer though because it was generic.... but ya love the content and I'll be watching.
Impressed by this channel! Answering all the ifs and buts and watafacks I have been thinking about for years looking at these movies.
Impressive
Perfection!
Oficially Peter Wayland died on earth before the Prometheus was lauched. Since in the movie we can hear the classic "If youre watching this, im dead"
This was good. I started frowning up while listening like this was a real corporation that needed to be stopped!.....Lol. It really did kind of feel like information I shouldn't have. Well done
Excellent video but I thought the power loader was made by caterpillar ?
Ben Anderton Probably they manufacture it, or else WY bought them at some point.
Wow congrats on this video, its just awesome 🔥👌🏻
I love this. Always wanted this exact video. ❤❤
I was sort of glued to this and my imagination was going bonkers with some of it, really cool. I love how Peter Weyland created that atmosphere processor to help Antarctica, then after he died, the company sort of went shitty.
Better than Covenant
I'm surprised this company wasn't credited for revolutionizing the way bread is sliced.
sorry cant watch this im not of s2 or above so sorry

Gave a thumbs up for entertainment value. Been an Alien fan since '79 when I was blown away in the theater. Couldn't wait for the next one which I was sure would be in the making. Not since 2001 A Space Odyssey was I so impressed. The technical improvements were nice but writing screenplays had improved also. Both of these movie scenarios are equally well produced have to say the two best.
I know there's some who would say Pumpkin Head or Halloween are right up there in the SciFi film genre but thankfully those troglodytes aren't producing movies.
This video here is done with a concern for accuracy and believability. Done well guys/gals. It helps put together a mental picture for the whole series and gives some insights when watching the series. I think I'll go back and rewatch the entire set and use this as a reference when needed.
Do you think you could do a similar timeline vid for Plan 9 From Outer Space?
