Is anyone interested in reading files for a vid im working on? Ill be choosing 1 voice for each file reading (or multiple if from the same person). Only stipulations are clear English being spoken. Your voice will have a cassette like filter over your voice in the final video. Details below ⬇️

I realise the David model is more compelling for alot of folks, but I want to see more stories with Walter in them. Since Covenant, as far as I know, weve had no mention of them. Despite them being an "upgrade" to David. Strange, considering how popular Bishop is as well.

Closer looks at these weapons. They have a very similar silhouette but aren't actually the M41A at all. Clearly inspired by them, though. This is honestly a relief. Haha. I did spot a smart gun twice, though, which goes against the movies own canon at this point. But they could be precursors.

The Pulse Rifle in Romulus was one thing, explained as being an unstable version of the M41A Pulse that came a few years later, which a dude invented in a shed. So why is there an M41A Pulse in Alien: Earth? 20 years before even Romulus. I hope this is a jump forward in time or something.

The Rogue Xenomorph, aka The "King Xenomorph", is a genetically modified variant, 1 of a kind. (Currently non-canon). It was created by Dr Ernst Kleist for Project Chimera. The thought behind the project was to create a tame alternative to the Xenomorph Queen that was easily controlled.

Project Chimera was a fundamental success in its initial goals. The Rogue wouldn't attack humans if they didn't pose as a threat, but would go on to kill numerous humans as collateral in its rage against a rival Xenomorph Queen and her hive, seeking out and destroying any Xenomorphs it came across.

The Rogue was built to be stronger and larger than the Xenomorph Queen. A creature built to ursurp rather than ruling through hierarchy like the Queens. In the end, the rogues rage was its downfall, the rival Queen using her superior speed & intelligence to slay the creature and its creator.

Weyland Yutani has been connected and sometimes governs the United Americas. They've had many rivals, normally within the UA itself. But the Union of Progressive Peoples (UPP), one of the biggest Rivals to the UA also has its own twisted reflection of WY. The Jutou Combine. 🧵 1/3

Often shortened to just "The Combine," it shares the same ideals as the UPP. One that shuns corporate dealings and held Socialist ideals to the extreme. The Combine has its power in the Outer Veil and Frontier of space, where law is still malleable. 🧵 2/3

They do not suffer fools and welcome body modification such as synthetic augments throughout organic bodies. Life on the frontier is hard, and it's created a populace that reflects that. 🧵 3/3

Some new full res images and a transcript from the Artist John R. Mullaney has been released by Free League for the Alien RPG Evolved system. Gorgeous artwork, it's great to have John back. Sign up to the Free League newsletter to read it in full!

Some new Alien movie news with the creators looking at a sequel. Though nothing is set right now. The cinematic universe and the expanded universe have really shone brighter with consistent characters. Let's hope they can bring these fan favourites back!

It was these starting paragraphs that had their hooks in me with Alien and made me love the franchise. If you read anything from Alien, please read just the first chapter. This lore is still being built on today. But it's not spoken about enough.

Greg Bears, Eon and Forge of God books. Belgariad series. Alien. All classics in the traditional sense? Not really. But they brought me up! (Along with Tolkien)

Daniels in Alien: Covenant is still technically alive in the universe as of 2104. However, with David naming her "His Queen" in the short film titled "Advent," her time alive could be very limited. It's surprising that this plot hasn't been picked up by authors or by film since.

Alien: Cult has another release date, slated for July 15th of this year, originally reported by AvPGalaxy. With a first look at its spectacular cover. But what do we think about that synopsis? FBI involvement? We haven't had many FBI stories from the Alien universe at all. Interesting!

Synopsis of Alien: Earth is now on the Hulu site. "When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat"

Alien: Rogue Incursion, survios' new VR game featuring fan favourites Davis & Zula Hendricks is set in 2146. 9 years after the events of Alien: Isolation. It's also after both Zula and Davis have had a lot of experience with xenos if we take the late Dark Horse comics into account. Exciting!

We have news on #AlienEarth, a release and a year! 2120 is 2 years before the events of #Alien, so we're VERY close to what happened here. This means we could get more reveals about the motivations of Weyland Yutani sending the Nostromo to Lv426. The summer release is a surprise. But Welcome!

So why did Nevaros Child capture Rain near the end of Romulus? The XX121 Xenomorph recognises strong hosts, and Rain is an incredibly strong candidate. Moments after the creature caught her, a facehugger is revealed that Andy shoots. It planned to have her impregnated.

Back to the origins of the Alien franchise, a new still image is out of the Alien: Romulus Xenomorph. This is a drone, often used in hives as scouts as well as the collectors of hosts. With the numerous facehuggers shown in trailer as well, it's likely we'll see more than 1. #Alien #Lv426
