This is one of the single greatest lore videos on RU-vid. I get chills before I watch it and I watch it often. And it’s not provocative or anything. It’s just, awesome.
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.
@@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
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.
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.
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.
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”
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.
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
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]
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
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.
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! ?
@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!
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!
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 !!
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
+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.
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
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 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.
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!!
"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!!!"
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
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 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!
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...
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.
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.
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....
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.
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
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...
Alien Theory.....Superb and very realistic video. The content and structure are impressive and there was a lot of work put into this. Sir, I salute you!! Extraordinary endeavor!!!
Wow, after awhile I actually thought you'd just uploaded an extra feature off of a Blu-ray. Very impressive, when Alien Covenant is available to buy this should be on it!
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 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. :)
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
great vid. the alien films actually have alot of focus on androids, something ive not really paid attention too much.since weyland never had children, i wonder if an android inherited the company.i wonder if weyland yutanis intentions behind acquiring the xenomorphs is actually to study their biology so they can try to bridge the gap between organic and synthetic life since the xenomorphs are technically somewhere in between. i always assumed the reasoning was to use the aliens as a weapon, but given the companys history it just doesnt link up with with weylands past ventures. hes a humanitarian not a dictator.
Peter Weyland had one child. A daughter, she was in the movie "Prometheus",, her name was Meredith Vicars, She dies at the end of the movie when the captain crashes the Prometheus ship into the 'Engineer' ship attempted to take off to destroy earth with the massive containers of black goo.
According to the Alien vs Predator game from 2010, Peter Wayland still technically exists and is still in charge of Wayland-Yutani way into the 2300s. Is revealed at the ending of the Alien (?) campaign that he is an android, and he has been alive through androids over the years.
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?
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.
Such a fascinating look back at one of the most technologically advanced corporate goliaths. Shame we haven't been able to overcome the low-res, monochrome green all-capital font though.
