Video Description

Thank you Opera for sponsoring this video! Check out their browser here: https://opr.as/Opera-browser-onetakevids With Alien: Romulus upon us, of course it was time for an Alien timeline! This video covers the entire primary Alien canon, including the movies, short films, and the game Alien: Isolation. Note: I used the director’s cuts/special editions for the original four films. They aren’t different enough to declare one version as canon over the other, but I thought these versions would be more fun to use since they include more detail (and at least in Alien 3’s case, make for a superior movie). Thank you @RabidRetrospectGames for providing the footage for “Alien: Isolation”! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdzz_cPTsqo For Andrew E.C.
