Russian animation studio 1A4 has boiled down the whole plot of “Aliens” into a 60-second cartoon.

The popular channel How It Should Have Ended made not one but two alternate endings to “Aliens,” each one based on whether or not Ellen Ripley actually knew anything about science and Xenomorph behavioral patterns.

Editor Job Willins made a fan trailer combining Ridley Scott’s contributions to the franchise, “Alien” and “Prometheus,” into a single story called “Derelict.”

YouTube critic channel The Long Take made a 20-minute video essay analyzing “Alien” and its themes of sexual assault and patriarchy through the Xenomorphs.

Video game critic Jim Sterling has a very unpopular opinion that he is willing to go to the mat for: He thinks that David Fincher’s widely disliked “Alien 3” is the best installment in the entire series.
