Canon as I understand: The "black goo" was a bioweapon created as a result of a failed attempt to re-create the blood of the first deacon. Rook basically extracted the Alien's base essence which was the "black goo" and transformed it into something else (Z01). It wasn't complete or perfected and failed to enhance humans as intended. Instead it simply mutated them.

[@maxheadroom4659]

I'm fine with there being different versions of aliens & black goo all derived from ancient engineer bioweapon. It's a good explanation for the differences between films, and why David was able to create similar looking creatures from scratch.

[@yevhenp9797]

I think the most logic version is that xenomorphs were not created by engineers. They are perfect organisms as during reproduction cycle, they inject their mutagen, which is actually black goo, into any other organisms and copy part of their DNA. As a result, xenomorphs would survive at any conditions and with any available hosts. Engineers just found them and used that goo to enhance themself into immortal creatures. Thats why they worship to the first deacon (original form of xenomorph found by engineers), as he grand them immortality. Rook and scientists from Romulus wanted to do exactly the same for humans. Just failed, because were not as smart as engineers or because were killed by xenomorph before they could finish their job.

The Blood of their Lord is taken from the Orange Prometheus Draft which is a Fan Edit..... The Goo is a Mcguffin.... it just does whatever is convenient for the Plot. ORIGINALLY.. at Conception it was a Creative Tool... a Organism that could consume the DNA of a Organism and then have the ability to Pass this onto other Organisms to Create a Hybrid. These originally were Tiny Scarabs. Scarabs consume Engineer and then fly off and we see one inject the Cargo of Engineer DNA into a early Hominid which Evolved into a Human. The next time we saw the Scarabs they are stored in a Urn, which Fifield knocks over.... he gets Bitten and he Mutates into a like Xenomorph of sorts Hybrid. This means these Scarabs had obtained that DNA from a precursor Organism to the Xenomorph. This Organism was Native to LV-426 and it grew on the Walls of a Cave, as Spores... which contain a Octopoid looking Facehuggers. The Holloway Chest Burster is a Octopus type Human Hybrid of sorts. It is able to flatten itself like a Octopus..... Alien Engineers/Genesis which is where this information is from. Indicates that the Engineers use their Creation Tool on a Organism in those Caves to Create a Variety of Organisms.... some looking more like the Neomorph and Mural in Prometheus while others more like the Xenomorph. The GOO is basically what was these Scarabs... the Goo being microscopic Worm like (actually more like the Hydra Cnidaria on Earth related to Jellyfish). But as we moved on they made it more complicated and contradicting and it became Mcguffin.

I didn't hear Kroft mention this and I haven't seen any comments alluding to it, but I feel this is very relevant to the "black goo" discussion as we know it. Rook straight-up name drops "Plagiarus praepotens" when asking MUTHUR about the Z01 compound. This is directly an invention from the novel "Alien: The Cold Forge" which tells me some of the information in there could be considered hard canon now with this name drop. To those unfamiliar, the novel explains that scientists aboard the Cold Forge station have been experimenting with facehuggers on chimpanzees and discovered that they don't actually deposit an embryo in their hosts. They have a fluid sac filled with a mutagenic pathogen which they named "Plagiarus praepotens." When injected by the facehugger into the host, it essentially breaks down the genetics of the surrounding tissue and rewrites it via combination into what amounts to a "tailor made" tumor, aka a chestburster. The chief researcher of the novel is also secretly trying to adapt the substance into a medical treatment as she suffers from a degenerative physical disease. This kind of aligns with what Rook tells us the intended use of "Z01" is. I also seem to recall that when asked, the author, Alex White, alluded to the concept having ties with the Engineer's black goo as well. So again, I'm taking it tenatively now that this is canon and perhaps this info will help you all in constructing your own fun theories 😁

[@language.wanderer]

This new version of the back goo is not so unpredictable and wild as the engineers version. The girl injected a lot of it in herself, if it was the original black goo we would see something really grotesque happening, since only a little drop of it caused severe mutations in Prometheus.

One thing I love the most about the Alien series is its cassette-punk setting. How it's simultaneously a futuristic scify view of the human race that is full of spaceships and lazers, yet we still struggle with the limits of our technology. I think that was shown well in this movie.

[@MarioTheLiopleurodon]

Fr. I do like the more "modern sci-fi" aesthetic of Prometheus and Covenant, but for something else and *NOT* the alien franchise. Alien is best with the older style of "casette futurism" aesthetic instead of holograms and sleek ships. They can still be super high tech, hell they can even have holographic map tables, but everything else being push-buttons and large blocky objects just fits better. They can still have their curved CRT-style monitors and just make them hi-def too (it is sci-fi after all). Everything in Alien feels practical

[@florisvdwetering]

The movie seemed to imply to me that the xenomorphs already existed long before and that the engineers revered them for the substance they could extract from them (black goo) with which they could evolve themselves, seed planets, and create bioweapons. This would explain the mural with the xenomorph and facehuggers depicted on it. David was likely just reinventing the species based on the substance. Due to the substance spawning xenomorph like creatures David was just following along. His strain is likely not even the one we encounter in the 1979 movie. The strain in 1979 might just be an experiment gone wrong. With the engineers either recreating the xenomorphs and one getting lose. Or finding eggs from them which they wanted to transport and study. The appearance of the space jockey in Alien could also be because of the engineers modifying themselves. I think the Engineers we find in Prometheus were incredibly ancient. In their more early/mid stages of experimenting with the black goo. This would also explain why the juggernaut looks so different from the derelict, and the engineer so different from the space jockey. In Prometheus the ship looks pretty normal but in Alien the ship looks very biomechanical. So I think the space jockey and derelict show us what eventually became of their black goo experimentation, evolving themselves and possibly growing part of their ships.

[@El_Grande_Jefe]

The craft and the engineers are the same. There might be some scale differences but Ridley already addressed that and said they're the same. That's the intention at least. Even though I think there is some scale differences. And some minor tech differences. We don't know. There's at least three possibilities. The engineers created the goo. The engineers found the goo. The insurance family go and then manipulated it creating their own version. The deacon could pre-exist IF They found the goo. We don't know. They definitely seem to worship it. I think because they look at it as like the purest formal life. Maybe the original form of life. And the deacon is a natural product of that? Or maybe like in Romulus they found the deacon first and then they extracted the material from their bodies? There's also suggestions now in Romulus that it's a natural occurring type of virus. Pathogen. Maybe they discovered it in that form. Either way they look at it as like they found THE god particle.

[@florisvdwetering]

​@@El_Grande_Jefe For me it's not about the scale differences but the space jockey looking so different from the suits the engineers use. And the juggernaut doesn't look like it's built out of bones in the interior like the derelict was, the artstyle is very different. So the engineers using the black goo to evolve themselves is just my way of explaining away that visual inconsistency.

[@El_Grande_Jefe]

@@florisvdwetering I think there is some minor stuff too. But it's not on purpose. Ridley might say ... Derelict was exposed to an outdoor harsh environment. Prometheus everything was underground and sealed.

[@SqueezeNowCryLater]

I was thinking, maybe the temple of the deacon was just a cult of engineers that worship that xeno like figure. We cant just assume all Engineers worship that same image.

In terms of speculation what was happening to Kay, earlier in the film when describing why the ship was named Romulus, a few seconds of screen time is given to Andy staring at a painting of a baby nursing on a corpse. I expect this was foreshadowing as we later see the hybrid essentially feeding on Kay's corpse. The black goo from her chest is likely breast "milk" for the hybrid.

[@jeannin.wallace2795]

What scares me most is. The fact that, the Black Goo didn't effect Kay into complete mutation , but only selectively her baby. What is also scary is, within minutes it grew just as tall as an engineer , and probably wasn't even fully grown knowing it was only alive for less than half and hour. And what's even SCARIER Is. The beginning of the movie, it shows the Xenomorph can survive in the vacuum of space and create a cocoon to stay alive or have surviving tissue still active. WHATS WORSE IS. The Colony was notified of the incident and there are samples of the re-engineerwd goo on the ship. Create yet another search to complete the mission. WHATS WORSE IS Tyler might have been the true traiter the entire time and working for the company to make sure the samples where escorted off Romulus. (Why would he have a thermal scanner. Specially known the exact model of the rifle, know almost every part of the ship , and single handedly discovered the station and it's estminated demise before entering.

The 'Space Jockey' is just an Engineer in a 'biosuit' that makes him look bigger.

[@mkyriacopolous]

Or, the Engineers tried to substitute themselves for the Space Jockeys, so designed a suit to be able to operate their space travel device/seat. Maybe the Space Jockeys created the Engineers as slaves for them but then left to another galaxy or died out.

there’s a lot of people complaining about plot holes in the story but to me that just makes the series so much better. the alien universe is absolutely genius-giving you just enough to go off of and follow along with the story but still leave room for own imagination as well as room for twists/turns in future installments of the franchise.

Kroft, as usual your videos are the best of the Alien explanation channels on KZbin. Im a huge fan of Prometheus and David and was sad that story wasn’t continuing. When Fede said Ridley watched the film and loved it, it really reignited my hope for David’s story to continue. Watching Romulus, when they showed the black goo and they played notes of the Prometheus theme song, I was so happy. Then, the rat mutation to the hybrid happened and I thought that there is no way the David story is over. I really think Ridley is making Gladiator 2 to bankroll his vision for Aliens to continue.

[@aistej4943]

I too hope Ridley won't give up on his vision.

[@polarsnare]

Error in your video: The Black Goo does not contain Engineer DNA. The Offspring appears as an Engineer because it is a human-Xenomorph hybrid (the black goo is Xeno DNA, as mentioned in Prometheus draft scripts) and the base for human DNA is actually Engineer DNA.

This part of the Film Series may of possibly confirmed a Prometheus Part 2. Because in Alien Covenant we all thought that Prometheus will continue its story all the way till the very end. Because that particular part of the series had a more importance to the franchise & a significant message. A deeper story of the Alien origin universe. It played it Big part in the entire trillogy which was missed in the series. It was only right bringing the Engineers return in the Alien franchise. Everyone was more focused on that 1 particular series 'Prometheus' because the way it left us on a cliff hanger with so many unresolved questions.

They are kind of intertwined. It's like it breaks chunks out of your DNA and encapsulates them to try and create a new lifeform. You kind of mutate because you've now got parts of you missing their code, making you unstable. And little lifeforms all up in you. (That worm thing in that guy's eye after David spiked his drink with a drop) The one that did the terraforming chugged a bigger dose in one go, so they just broke down and their DNA was fragmented down to single cell organisms.

There are 2 "black goos." One creates life (the opening scene of Prometheus.) The other destroys life (David's in Prometheus & Covenant.) I haven't watched Romulous yet so I am not certain which "black goos" Rook, reversed engineered.

[@wispartan]

He didn't reverse engineer the same black compound from Prometheus. What they did was extract what was left over from crashed deralict on LV-426 which was an ancient ship which had a fossilized space jokey. Everything in Prometheus and Covenant is reverse engineered by David from the substance used in Prometheus. Everything in Romulas is reversed engineered from more ancient strains reversed engineered from the Big Chap on LV-426 What is not clear is where that space ship came from? - why it crashed. But what we do know it's ancient possibly it did come from the same place in Prometheus. If that is case the derelict is over 2000 years old. It would appear engineers lost control in their pursuit of perfecting a perfect organism or whatever ancient being they were trying to create. Hence fossilised space jokey with chest ripped open. It most likely this hybrid gave birth to the more biomechanical aliens with see in first two films. What I gathered in Romulas they were experimenting in trying create Super Human Hybrid. But just like engineers they lost control.

[@MarioTheLiopleurodon]

3 or 4 if you count Romulus. 1) Blood of the First Deacon. Drank by sacrificial engineer. Seeded life on Planet Earth. 2) "Black Goo" from LV-223. Responsible for most casualties of Prometheus crew and Planet-4 residents. 3) "Facehugger goo" from inside facehuggers. A modified and much more stable version of Goo #2, found inside xenomorph facehuggers. Instead of causing mutations, it simply creates chestbursters with some adaptive traits from the host's DNA. 4) Z-01. Experimental substance based on Goo #3, intended to enhance human physiology. Mutates and kills a rat. Caused the fetus inside Kay to mutate into an abomination.

I think there is more to his character than shown in movie. Even Rook was somehow more reasonable than Tyler. He even warned them and that they should leave the station immediately. I think WY hired Tyler to check on the station but just gave him little information about what happened. He might have even gotten a better bonus situation and that he could leave afterwards and his quota would not matter anymore. There is more to his background to unveil.

Wherever the black goo comes from isn't that relevant I think. As mentioned in my comment to your last vid: my believe is that engineers are able to control it in its pure form, upgrading them from a human race to biomechanical freaks (strong, durable, giant in size, merged with an outside armour, able to survive looong time). ALL usages we saw in every of the last movies (Prometheus, Covenant, Romulus) were UNCONTROLLED usages causing random mutations. David was closest to controlled with his Praeto- or Protomorph. He used an old recipe from the engineers (stated in canon book version of Covenant) but was limited in tools and material. So for me in the end the "perfect organism" aka the Alien is a bio-engineered creature based on alien insects and controlled use of pure black goo serving as a bio-weapon.

What I'd like to know is; the hybrids' egg acid burned through the ship down into the cargo hold and then was again kicked to burn through the cargo hold to vacuum the hybrid off the ship. In the end the cargo hold part of the ship is disconnected from the rest, and the very next shot is of Raine putting Andy into the cryo pod. Now Here is my question. At the end; After seeing multiple shots of the cryo pods in the ship's hold, as well as multiple shots of the acid burned hole in the corridor to the cryo hold which only has one door to the Bridge (and we just saw the Hybrid crawl back out through the hole and stand in the corridor entrance, before it makes it's attack) After watching Raine Eject the cargo hold from the ship, WHY HASN'T/ISN'T THE SHIP DECOMPRESSING? Raine is putting Andy into the cryo pod WITHOUT WEARING A SUIT OR HELMET ANYMORE. So How did she quick-fix the acid burned hole through the ship? As that acid burned through into the ejected cargo hold, meaning when Raine was putting Andy into the pod in THAT ROOM which had no door on it's entryway to the corridor said burn hole was in; should have been DECOMPRESSING as it now just has a burned hole into outer space. Am I wrong?
