Weyland-Yutani Notes on Project Prometheus 

I love how they shit on the captain here, even though he’s arguably the only reason earth isn’t a puddle of gout right now lol

Those static noises for the redacted sections are the most terrifying thing i've experienced this Halloween. Well done!

I enjoy "Prometheus," and appreciate your lore deep dives!

Vickers wanted the mission to go south, though not to be an epic fail with everyone dead. She was also responsible for picking the team, as in making sure everybody was the best available for the job, but at the same time unprofessional in specific areas, like unsocial, taking unnessessary risks, aggressive, problems with authority, stuff like that. Not the best of the best of THE BEST. All that to sabotage the maybe best outcome of the mission, just to let the big boss, her father, fail. This detail was in the script, but cut out reworked, probably never shot, I don't remember what exactly happend. But it's this 1 thing that was missing in the movie that was realy important to explain why people behaved the way they did. Though it's not in the movie, to me it's still canon, I'll make an exception, this kinda saves the movie, and I do like "Prometheus". The sequel, on the other hand, is steaming-hot dogshit, story & characters are awfull, nothing can save this production. But I do understand there was A LOT of studio-interference, so it's not Scott's fault alone.

We need the prequel stories to be completed. I'm in the minority I know, but I'd like to know what happens next for David. How did the juggernaut end up on lv 426?

My questions is even if Dr. Shaw had the skills and know how to put David back together so he could murder her is why. That's the main thing that ruins the end of Prometheus and Aliens Covenant for me.

AT, what do you think of the idea that the xenomorph can inherit the memories of it's host? Watching Ripley's escape in Alien, it struck me that the Xeno anticipated events in a way that required knowledge that it could most likely only get from Kane's memories. It blocked Ripley's escape into the shuttle without pursuing her, likely to get her to return and turn of the self-destruct. When she failed to do so, it went into the shuttle and awaited Ripley's arrival in order to escape with her. And it would also explain how it seemed to know it's way around the Nostromo so well...

Thank you for all your hard work as always. Its appreciated. Makes me want to watch all the movies again

I just loooove your videos! I'm a fan and I also learn a lot of Ennglish listening to you. 'What if' video idea: What if the alien on board the dropship would have stayed hidden so that Ferro and Spunkmeyer could have reached safely to collect Ripley and the others? Hugs from Patagonia, Argentina!

Loved the video, I hope you can find these dossiers for Covenant, A vsP, and heck all of them! It would be awesome!!

This was amazingly well done. The green hues are super spooky. I love all things Alien and loved Prometheus. I thank you. 💙

I liked Project ACHERON'S Alien Awakening animated series which filled in a lot of the holes that Orometheus and covenant couldnt be arsed to answer once posed as questions.

I loved Prometheus. Love Shaw. NR did a great job creating a Ripley-type character, while managing to make Shaw distinctly her own. David was also excellent, MF was outstanding. Wish the movie had answered more questions, but I still love rewatching it. Thank you for the reminder and visit back.

Another well produced video! You made Prometheus sound interesting :D I look forward to the next long form video.

Great job on this video. The work & dedication you put into it really shows & is appreciated

Thank you for all your uploads fine sir! I really enjoy your content for years now

You know, I really do hate Prometheus, but I do enjoy listening to you narrate the Weyland-Yutani Notes.

Super cool! Loved the breakdown, your narration is always on point! Great video, great work!

I really like Prometheus. It’s one of my favourites. The beginning of the film in Scotland always makes my mind race thinking of the similarities in ancient cultures like pyramid structures etc.

I absolutely LOVE these Alien lore videos, and would be so happy if you continued them. Learning more about the nuances of the Alien universe through your channel, is a great pleasure.

Just had this pop up for me. Glad your still doing videos man. Thanks for the upload

Awesome, great format! I really enjoyed it

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while. Well done, and thank you!

This channel is amazing.

Excellent work! This was so awesome.

Derek you are remarkable. You r use of video and plot with added narrative are so engaging. Thanks for putting this together. Looking forward to future projects.

Love how Alan Dean Foster added (unless it's in the script but not shot) a broken urn to the novelization of Alien. Makes me wonder if the Prometheus writers read it.

Great job as always brother. Love the videos!

I sometimes ‘Like’ vids before I watch them. This is one of those vids. Great work Derek, as always. 👍🏼

A lovely presentation! Bravo !

Hated it on release day, But since then ive fallen in love with it. I really wish we could have seen what Ridley had planned for Paradise Lost instead of the Aliens remake we got with Covenant.

Another great video, thanks my dude.

Great video Alien Theory! Happy Halloween!

Well… today i must say this (didn‘t had time before); I see your precise work for years, and MUST say: From ALL those „YT-Aliens“ that claim 2 know it all related to Sir Scott‘s legendary Movie-Story… YOUR Works, are truely the BEST! This is never EVER „fishing for compliments“, NOPE. I am an 68 german… and clearly remember when i run to our cinema, to see the Premiere of this new „SiFi Horror Movie“. When i came out… i was changed. But… back to the Present Day… i say it AGAIN; what YOU do with ALL your Contributions… is SPECIAL. As i said… precise, well done technical, and, OF COURSE: ENTERTAINING! Forgive me my bad grammar, cause… when i went to school, we didn‘t had english in school. Anyway: THX AGAIN.. and keep ON! I guess, even if he does not react with a comment (or, DID HE?)… Sir Scott will LIKE what you DO! Greetz, an old Fan

This video was excellent! Well done Alien Theory!

God I love your work in every way...superb quality.. even your voice works perfect.. Bob Ross of the Aliens world

Bro please balance the sound so the static isn’t making my ears bleed, much love

I had just finished, revisiting your treasure vault of videos, and then this newest addition was right on time, YoungFella 🤙😉 Great Production’s - As Always🙄❣️🤣😂 Love the Work, Matey - Please keep Goin’ 🙏😊

I seem to be in a minority that loved Prometheus so your latest video was as always excellent!…your detail and delivery on this subject is unmatched I really enjoyed this one.

Great video as always

Prometheus is a really good movie. Another great Weyland-Yutani Notes video.

1NOV2023, 16:17 Central Time, 21:17 GMT You know, I just had a thought about these Weyland-Yutani Notes, following thus -- At the end of each publication to this channel, you could add a segment from Morse, last survivor of Fury 161, or someone allied with him that would attempt to decrypt the redacted information of each relevant segment, or adding material previously not included in the Weyland-Yutani release. For instance, a section could be added, entitled "deleted scenes" for obfuscation of Weyland-Yutani cryptotechnicians and detailing further conversation between David 8 and the lone surviving Engineer.

Dude!! This was awesome.😮

Fantastic video, my only (minor) gripe is the redacted sections. The static is a bit off putting, perhaps an AI generated voice saying “redacted” a few times would make for a less jarring transition. Just a thought

I love this channel ❤

Happy Dias de los Muertos Alien Theory. Great video as always. 😎😉🫡

Man the static hurt my bloody ear drums. I get the purpose of it but turn it down in the mix please if you are planning to use it again.

Very niiice vid ,love the info 👏👏👏👏

Damn, this video is as entertaining as the movie. What a companion piece. This is top-tier editing.

A fine halloween treat, thanks AT!

I’m glad you gave us captions because the first redacted static noise exploded my ear drums. 👂🩸

I've always wanted to see an Alien universe animated series! Maybe set in the 57 years between the Nostromo events and Hadley's hope. I like the animated format, because you can be a bit more experimental and show things that are hard to express in regular film or series. Themes that you could explore here would be; the company and how it works, who sent the Nostromo to the derelict, Ripley's drift through the core systems, (and did Ash have something to do with it?) the Engineer's and the derelict craft as flashbacks, (in Giger's original form hopefully) how the derelict signal was discovered, Hadley's hope events and more...If done well I really think it could be exciting! (think Clone Wars but with a different style suited to the Alien universe)

We need alien series instead of a movie

Great vid enjoyed liked

The least realistic aspect of all this is that Oxford would offer a degree in a subject as lowbrow as Business Management.

I don't think LV-223 was in the Zeta 2 Reticuli system, that was LV-426.

Really awesome video, great as always, goose approved, only problem is the static destroying my ears every so often lol

When you think of how good most of the actors in Prometheus were, it's really going some to have made them so damn unmemorable.

Have you looked at the Alien RPG written by Andrew EC Gaska? He worked on the video game Alien: Fireteam Elite, and is a great author! His box set adventure Chariot of the Gods is a great tie-in to the Prometheus and Covenant movies, and the whole thing is a fantastic journey into the world of Alien. They are well worth picking up, even if you don’t ever play the game, but just use the resource material. 😊

Keep going brother

This is awesome

Bravo 🎉

Regarding the juggernaut and the events of Prometheus leading to its destruction… for such a “technologically advanced species”, I find it surprising the engineer onboard wasn’t able to stop, shoot down, avoid, raise shields, or deploy countermeasures to evade the Prometheus’s kamikaze attack and prevent its ship from being downed.

After watching this video, I just realized that the Black Goo and Urns are just like the Face Hugger and Egg. Great video.

I had a gut feeling i would see a video drop of alien theory on hollloween this year.

love it

Definitely liking that Ravel and Janek had their actor's first names. I know it says 'Iris" for Janek, but him saying Idris is all the confirmation I needed

They should have countiued the story and explore more of the planet they could find a map to find Xenomorphs homeworld and they could explore the planet like in the comics i hate how Covenant ignored everything Prometheus and the comics built for it

To alien theory: Will you please do a deeper dive video on whether the alien universe and the predator universe should stay separate or have been brought together like it already has. My opinion is that they should stay separate and the content/mythology within seems to be stronger when it is self contained, but this is just my own opinion. The narratives within the universes are different. They have combined Freddy and Jason together, Godzilla and Kong, Batman Superman etc. with varying results. This idea started with the dark horse comics and predator 2. Would be an interesting video discussing the separate themes and the intermingling of them. Your thoughts. Thank you and thank you for all the content.

Deep questions to be sure

"Charles Holloway, 2058 - 2093: DOUCHE." "Captain Iris (Idris...?) Janek, 2051-2093: SEXY MOTHERFUCKER."

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻🎃🤡🥸👽👹🦹🐈‍⬛🦇

I noticed you called the captain “Idris Yankek”, instead of “Iris” as the text shown. Not sure if this was just a text error or perhaps a spoken error as the actors real name is “Idris” :)

cool review, but they missed out the conspiracy that Vickers is a hot android

Okay, that redacted sound is cursed 😂

Great movie

How was Pilot/Navigator Benedict Ravel on this mission when he died saving the sun? Clones? Bless his soul.

Thank you for this video. Prometheus is the best movie ever made, and I would have watched Prometheus 2,3,4,5.............. Dammit!!!

I don't see why she feels alone, our world is teaming with life. We might explore the cosmos and find that all our answers were here all along.

What does the LV stand for?

And hey that's Lisa Arryn from GOT. GREAT ACTRESS. love how the engineer threw her across the room like a rag doll. Crazy!!!

I just finished the audio book for Alien Phalanx and the guy from Perfect Strangers was the voice over narrator he did ok. Although I have a good reason to believe AT would have made a great difference

The Prometheus had some of most incompetent crew which ultimately lead to bad decision-making and the eventual destruction of the ship and the failure of the mission objectives. Or was there a more sinister motive from Weyland, David, and Vickers to have such incompetent crew members? That's something I've been wondering about after watching the movie Prometheus and videos like these that go more in depth about the storyline and even early draft scripts.

I love Prometheus. I love the theory that 2000 years ago, humans crucified the engineer taught Jesus and that deemed humans as being fit for extermination. And it’s on Christmas

What are the numbers after the crew members names??l?

HEADSET WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

❤❤❤

I want the engineers to go find david and battle him and his hellish creations. They do need that 3rd film!!

I believe there is a missing piece that explains some of the seemingly odd circumstances. Remember how a big plot point is how humans made robots that look like humans? The engineer, imo, wasn't in stasis for millennium. It was a robot built in the likeness of the engineers. Probably the same with the jockey. Prometheus was supposed to be the start of the reveal that Alien Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence are one and the same.

I always have to laugh about the Space Jockey/Engineers bait and switch that Ridley Scott tried to play on us. Clearly the Space Jockey was twice the size at least of how the Engineers are portrayed in Prometheus, but nice effort!

Ear warning for new watchers

The hate for this film is insane.. it was beautifully shot, the acting was great and yeah, I wish the original script/screenplay was used, but even still.. it was so good to me.

Tl;dr: The megacorporation seriously shouldn't have messed around with an alien faction or government that is millions of not billions of years older than Man

- There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing

Was googling around and skimming forums looking to answer this exact question… should’ve thought to check here first- awesome and comprehensive video as always man

"It's what I choose to believe". Dumb line. Doxastic voluntarism isn't possible. You're either convinced of a proposition or you aren't. If you're not sure that still means you're unconvinced.

Why did the Engineers leave the star map in the first place? Was it an invitation? The last engineer seemed to despise humanity. Why did they want them to eventually visit?

I thought in canon the WY merger had not occurred yet?

The static is perhaps a tad too strong. Otherwise great.

😮
