Iris insinuates that the alpha specimen Gabe is looking for is in fact a bio-weapon. This means that Weyland- Yutani has been doing more than just researching the xenomorphs.
They've been breeding them to use against others. While they certainly hadn't planned for the rebels to board the Epsilon, the xenomorphs' destructive behavior is exactly what the company was working to develop.
As scary as the murderous aliens are, they pale in comparison to the horror of a corporation deliberately manufacturing monsters for a profit. In a way, Weyland-Yutani is responsible for all of the death that has occurred so far in the series. Not only did they send Gabriel Cruz and two young agents on a suicide mission, they intentionally bred the nearly unstoppable monsters that pose such a threat to Gabe and humanity as a whole.
A company with resources like Weyland-Yutani must surely be capable of having more than one space station full of hazardous monsters, but the true scope of their research and their general intent remains unknown, making them all the more frightening. Regardless of the corporation's goals, it seems certain that more people will die in their pursuit. Dustin Holland is an avid reader, writer, and art-lover living in Colorado. In he gained worldwide recognition thanks to his dynamic break-throughs in generating synthetic atmosphere above the polar ice cap and ending the global warming.
He achieved knighthood at age 25, one of the youngest people to become so. He is honored with the Nobel Peace prize in Science. Peter Weyland generated controversy when he announced his intent to build the first convincingly humanoid robotic system by , he challenged the ethical boundaries of medicine with nanotechnology and the Vatican on the issue of gene-therapy sterilization. Prometheus Wiki Explore. Blogs Forum. LV LV Engineers Deacon Hammerpede Aliens. Damon Lindelof Jon Spaihts. The idea that a machine can be insulted and want the one who insulted them to answer for that trespass is alarmingly human, so much so that it subtly posits a question to the audience about the ability of life to spawn seemingly from nothing and the limits of actual humans to be humane.
Alien is probably the most reserved in asking this question. Ash, the Weyland-Yutani android aboard the Nostromo, is the most lively character on the ship. He gets cold, so he jostles a bit to get warm. He sees LV and marvels at the majesty of space. Ash breaks protocol to allow Kane back on to the ship, out of concern for his crew member, angering all the humans aboard the ship. Meanwhile, Ripley, the lead and effectively the top ranking officer of the Nostromo after Dallas dies, seems wooden by comparison.
Though their escape was violent, Roy, Priss and the others have come to earth not for any nefarious purpose but for a fundamentally human one—they want more life. Limited by science, legislation and corporate mandate, replicants are designed to live only for four years.
To Deckard, all that matters is his ability to perform his function, much like a machine. Were it not for corporate branding, one could easily confuse David, Ash and Roy as different models produced by the same company.
But what about a more concrete evidence to link these three being in the same universe? Thanks to a pretty old and informative thread on Reddit we have some definitive proof as to the existence of a shared universe. As the Narcissus docks with the Nostromo and when Gaff pilots his spinner with Deckard in tow, we see the same update screen in either vehicle.
Firstly, Scott is known for making expensive films which has also made him a bit frugal. Whether out of necessity or craftiness, Scott has reused footage between films in ways that are a bit obvious. So could that be the case here? Not necessarily. It could be deliberate. We do know that in the time of Blade Runner there are already enterprises in space who could use the same technology for their shuttles and ships, but it seems illogical that whatever company provides cars to an American police force uses the same user interfaces as a corporate vessel about one hundred years in the future.
Between and there ought to be significant changes in technology. Prometheus went all in with its viral marketing campaign when promoting itself. A lot of his talk has to do with the ingenuity of the human race, and in particular his emerging god status. His most impressive development was his most perfect son, David. While not in that talk, there is a draft of a speech, presumably this speech, found on the Prometheus blu-ray that was cut from the film.
It clearly establishes a relationship between Eldon Tyrell and Peter Weyland, that they parted ways professionally, and that they both went on to be gods in their own right, creating life from nothing, coming to similar results through slightly different technologies. Of course, he chose to replicate the power of creation in an unoriginal way, by simply copying God. And look how that turned out for the poor bastard.
