Red Letter Media Talks About Alien: Covenant - SPOILERS

why is the original 1979 film called alien when we now know that it wasn't an alien and David create alien eggs without a queen alien why didn't the crew of the Covenant wear space helmets when landing on a weird alien planet just to be safe why didn't the crew wait to see if those terrible electrical storms would pass before trying to land on the planet how come they didn't notice with their spaceship scanners that there is a gigantic alien city within walking distance of where they landed why wasn't the crew at all suspicious of David a man that shows up looking like an evil wizard and is surrounded by thousands and thousands of dead bodies coincidence sang Threadless God I'm surrounded by thousands and thousands of dead bodies every day because I work in a graveyard why would Waylon create an Android that's hair grew because he bought stock in the barbershop industry how come David cut his hair with scissors but in the next scene that looked perfectly cloth he designed a specific alien species that was an alien barber why did the chest burster hatchling look like a little tiny version of an alien instead of the way that it looked before it came out of the same looking egg and grew up to be the same looking xenomorph did somebody forget to watch the old movie just to double-check what it looked like so the engineers created all life on Earth then Whalen created David then david created the xenomorph so why was there a mural of a xenomorph in the caves and prometheus did David not create the xenomorph and all of his experimentation he just created a beam that looked exactly like one that it already existed that's a pretty big [ __ ] coincidence cosmic coincidence Thank You Ridley Scott David's original mission was to travel with Weiland to the sequel planet so that Waylon could find immortality after Waylon died suddenly David decided to become a Frankenstein man who decides monsters for no reason at all just because David wanted to create the perfect organism I don't know why he thinks the Xenomorphs the perfect organism can't talk it's ugly and it can't create nothing creation seems pretty important to David the xenomorph also can't reproduce without the aid of another species it also drools way too much it also can't get an emergency blood transfusion without dissolving all the medical equipment it would need it also couldn't give me a ride to my shift in Burger King but also pointlessly and violently attacks everything it sees these attacks usually result in its own death how incredibly stupid of it I'm smarter than those a little more why did David kill all the engineers with the black goo when he landed on their planet and how did the black goo turn into an airborne pollen like substance is that what happens when it's exposed to air did David know it was going to do that well I send so many crew members down to check out the mysterious planet that no one's ever heard of before why not just send the Android down first to take some basic readings then they know if they didn't have to wear [ __ ] helmets why bother just roll the dice the Whelan Court knew exactly where Weiland was going why didn't anybody ever travel to that planet to investigate what happened if they did they'd find a gigantic crashed alien spaceship that fell over on its side bits and pieces of debris from the exploded prometheus ship the flattened remains of Whelan's daughter Leyland's body the bodies of all the people that went with Leyland the dead body of blue alien and a dead squid black goo spilt all over the place a little escape pod that's shot out of the Prometheus before crashed into the ship and lots and lots of other clues it's exactly what happened and don't forget about the little kind of alien creature what happened to him did he find a homeless a nice family to live with and then violently attacked them for no reason the relationship between david and walter was exactly like the relationship between data and law if you don't remember who law was it was data's daughter her emotions eventually drove her crazy and eventually engineered the Borg who would later go on to kill millions of people wouldn't a better comparison be data and lore who thanks Ridley Scott an alien versus Predator the aliens have been coming to earth since at least 2996 BC but David didn't create the Xenomorphs until 2103 though the states don't line up I guess the alien versus Predator films aren't canon anymore I wouldn't worry about it J all these films feel like canon now in recent interviews Ridley Scott said that the reason why the engineers wanted to kill the population of Earth was that 2,000 years ago humans killed Jesus who was an engineer I guess that answers the question of whether Jesus was white or black I guess he was blue thanks Ridley Scott as advanced as the engineers were how did they not detect that the incoming ship only had one Android on it and was thousands of years old didn't their spaceship technology advance at all no hey maybe they got their ships exactly how they wanted them and they didn't need to improve on anything if it ain't broke don't fix it just like the original 1979 film alien [Music] you

"Very cool" - David, after creating the perfect organism

[u/Belephron]

My favourite thing about RLM, aside from the things that I know that they fill videos with, is that fact that other YouTubers might force high energy, and make thumbnails with over top facial expressions and flashy bullshit to get people to watch, but RLM can just make a thumbnail of two miserable pricks for a video of two miserable pricks and we love it.

Mike's cut-off laugh after Jay said he worked at Burger King was the best part.

[u/TheGoldenCaulk]

Redlettermedia monotonously questioning plotholes? Mike wears a red sport jacket for elderly men? Jay blankly stares? These are things I know.

DAVID IS THE XENOMORPH'S NON-BIOLOGICAL FATHER!

HE WAS IN PROMETHEUS

First RLM video I ever saw was the Prometheus video, its all come full circle.

I see they tried to de-Susan Susan.

Alien has now reached the point of the Terminator franchise.

We acknowledge the first two movies as classic and in continuity. But now, with the studios putting their hands all over the franchise, it has become an unrecognizable mess.

They just need to let this franchise die. Something with such an easy story shouldn't be this complicated.
