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
