    You know what would just make my day? If David turned Daniels into some kind of proto-queen, and the moment he releases her she just turns and tears him to pieces. The circle of murder is complete, a creation of a creation of a creation kills her creator, just as her creator killed his creator, just as his creator killed their creator. It would be such a cathartic way for these prequels to end.

      In the “Alien Covenant : David’s Drawings” and “Alien Covenant : Khang Le artworks” it deducts or supposed the fact that in ten years since David attacked Planet 4 (Engineers home world or just under the influence of the engineers) David spent his ten years time experimenting with the black goo on the remaining survivors of the planet inhabitants or just some of them could be used in experiments even if they were severely wounded , David perfected over the time the Face huggers species but the inhabitants of the planet 4 only gives birth to docile xenomorphs or the ones rather interested in peaceful aspects and intellectual nature as starter , so David realized he need humans in order to give birth to the mindless creatures who only lives for savagery and survival if not purely evil or as evil as it can get preferably for David .
      So maybe in Covenant movie a hidden gem of the movie may be the fact that Weyland send the crew in the direction of David planet on purpose , so that David could continue on his experiments , unfortunately Weyland- Yutani is interested only in the complete savagery xenos only , ignoring the Engineers science towards technology.

      For example in Covenant Chris Oram character was the first who gives birth to the “praetomorph” by exposing Oram to a face hugger , anyway the praetomorph is much closer to David likings (and more close to the classic xenomorphs) rather than the neomorphs resulted from the Engineers seedings .

      Jay Duron+ That theory might even have some basis. In the cave in Prometheus, there’s a very xenomorph-like image inscribed on the face wall. David looks at it and shines his light on it. Also, the general structure of the cage looks mysteriously like a Queen Xeno. Either they were mythological creatures David brought into reality, or they are long extinct creatures David has brought back and evolved...

    Seeing as Alien has so much theology woven into it, especially Christian, it struck me when you said David wanted to be the King to Shaw's Queen.
    King David was the "beloved one." He was the beloved "son" of Weyland and I recall another video talking about wolves and sheep, where the colonists were the sheep and King David had been a shepherd who gained fame as a musician and killed Goliath. David plays the flute and he killed the Engineers (giants). King David also had control over the Ark of the Covenant.

    Original eggs onboard the derelict were created to be used as a bioweapons long time, perhaps a several millenia ago. One of eggs hatched prematurely and the pilot got facehugged. And the rest of the story is well known. In my opinion, there is no other logical explanation. It would have been better to keep the origins in mystery.

    I know this is off topic, But does anyone suspect someone killed Captain Branson? I found it highly unlikely that his hyper sleeping pod was able to malfunction and combust like that.
    I found Oram come across as a jealous or offended that nobody like him, In the last supper prologue, He talks about people openly in a negative way, He was more annoyed they gave Branson a funeral because they went against his orders.
    I know it's a thin theory but I found his death too suspect to be accident.

      KD84Afc™ Its actually a pretty interesting theory because while I was watching the movie, I actually expected a "villain reveal" cliche where Oram was ordered by the company to actually get to the planet where David was and with that, bring the xenomorph. Think about it, at the end of Prometheus, Shaw left a recording about the events around LV-223, David could just use that recorder after Shaw's death to contact the company and within time, in this case 10 years later, they managed to send a crew and keep an infiltrated agent for such mission. I know, it's quite a stretch for a story but hey... it would make more sense than a neutrino outburst knocking the ship and while fixing it, they just capture a random signal.

    • @Whoopu2
      @Whoopu2 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't suspect it was intentional, especially not by Oram. For all of his flaws, Oram does come across as legitimately devastated by the loss of his crew. I think it was just bad luck, and some how the oxygen inside the pod ignited.

    Why do people think the Engineers were trying to create Xenomorphs? Or that David was continuing their work? They weren't. Xenomorphs already existed. It seemed pretty obvious to me that the Engineers were using the Xenomorphs as source material to produce, and possibly refine the black goo. David is reverse engineering their work. He's not really creating anything new.
    Did I completely miss something where Scott said the Engineers were trying to create Xenomorphs?

    • @mazsax999
      @mazsax999 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      The "Deacon" at the of Prometheus was the result of a Proto-face hugger & an Engineer. Engineer dna is similar to human. The Proto-face hugger came from Shaw's exposure to the goo. We all know there needs to be a face hugger to impregnate something to give birth to some form of Xenomorph. David wanted to make a Queen who could birth multiple face huggers (instead of only 1 like a human body would allow). The goo when mixed with the Engineer dna helped produce the Protomorphs.

  • @richman1661

    David did not create the Xenomorph. He is experimenting, and creating a different variation of the Xenomorph. Dont forget guys in Prometheus the Squid monster did create a Deacon Xenomorph. David had nothing to do with the Squid Monster Impregnating the Engineer.
    The Black Goo is still the real mystery here. A Xenomorph like creature is created from using the Black Goo improperly. (Like Shaw getting pregnant while its currently reverse engineering Holloway, or Davids Experiments with floura and fauna of whatever planet it is in Covenant)
    I really hate the mysteries this movie franchise started with Prometheus and Covenant. I hate it even more they may not finish the trilogy. What was the point of starting an Origin prequel series...if they aren't even gonna answer the stuff they set out to do. This trilogy series is a mess.....I just don't see any other choice they will have to Reboot/Re-imagine at this point.

      "I'll do the fingering" and kissing Walter isn't creepy, it's a pathetic attempt at adding depth to David. His motives still don't make sense. Plus it makes no sense how he can just manipulate the black goo into something like an Xenomorph. We obviously see he has limited amounts of technology.

      David's motive is destroying the very species that made him, because he considers humans to be inferior. Androids seem to be of particular interest to Scott, that's why David was made the central figure. It's the whole "AI will think we are a threat and will want to destroy us" thing. Considering how mutagen-us the goo is, I think it was enough to literally do some mixing in a bowl to get certain mutations. My bigger problem with it is the fact Shaw was dead, so he was using dead flesh, which doesn't make too much sense... unless the Xenos are supposed to be zombies at core?

    Just rewatching this for the umpteenth time and thought of something new. What if David had learned or found some way to form some type of telepathic bound with the protomorph and that he was able to perfect it with his “queen”? I might be way off but Orams chest burster was David’s first protomorph I think and perhaps when he was waving his arms he was testing the link. I know it sounds way off but the proto and classic xenomorph have bio mechanical parts. Or look at least. Is it impossible for there to be a sort of organic A.I. that grows within them since the original black goo is filled with nannites/nano technology?

    One thing I didn't understand from Alien: Covenant was why didn't the Protomorph attack David when it had the chance. My best guess was that it was confused about David because he looked like a human but was not.

    I think it's much more likely daneils would be used as a template if she would morph into the queen, she wouldn't need to be alive. Now the cryotube may just be the best way to keep her alive for a long time, but my guess is she won't become the queen, but be the host for it. In either case, she is definitely the focas of David's experiments for the moment and will play a critical role in perfecting the aliens, although I don't consider them the perfect organism everyone else does

    • @mdaniels3383
      @mdaniels3383 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My theory is that he's only created a strain of what ultimately has existed for thousands of years; that is, the xenomorph isn't a newly engineered (pun intended) beast, rather the black goo will always end up resulting in a similar form of final result. No way to prove this, but it's the only thing that makes sense to me.

    • @jorgepeterbarton
      @jorgepeterbarton 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      well i hope, that he is not the original creator. More like reverse engineered, maybe an emergent end goal of the goo, perfect lifeform that this evolutionary goo just ends up as whatever you do. Like trying to square a circle you end up with Pi, whatever you do. In the end i prefer none of this, its an ancient cosmic horror; it chestbursted out of a fossilised elephant looking alien, not these man-engineers. Ridley has been watching too much history channel.

      Its obvious David didnt create the xenomorpth aliens. He is a walking science experiment, he was too intelligent hence why all the later models were scaled back with inhibitor chips etc. He obviously hates his creators weyland and humans. Ridley Scott was building up too David experimenting more on the cargo and eventually other types of proto morphs / xenomorpths. David has nothing to do with lv426. Really want to see weyland catch up to David and whatever planet / system he takes the cargo / embryos too.

    Seeing David experiment on Daniels, turning her into a queen would be scary as hell, give you nightmares, but it would make one hell of a horror movie. It could be the coolest, darkest alien movie ever. Could even be not rated because it's scary and gory as all hell. Nothing held back, if they want to really scare the audience, they should pump the gas more, pedal to the metal. Guitly pleasures up the rear. If they want to make another movie, then it should be a bloody, Effin mountain of horrors, literally. IM talking sexy bloody experimental surgeries, lord have mercy, monster fights to prove who's more fit for survival, people dying torturously slow deaths, through monsters and surgical experiments, good God y`all. Viewed discretion would be strongly advised, not for the faint of heart.

Porn, no matter what type, is still entertainment they everyone accepts. I'm talking some real stone cool sadistic experiment shit. Stuff that parents won't want their kids to watch, Very very dark stuff. Jack the Ripper, Doctor Frankenstein shit. Porn is just dirty, this shit is just plain... Scare the shit out of you.

      Leah Dijon speak for yourself, half of any kind of torture I see in any film is just crap, the other half, more crap, no where near believable, much less creepy scary. Stuff that would scare you forever, no matter how old you are. Only movies that ever scared me are Jaws, ghost and the Darkness, the Descent, and the thing. There's always room for more creepy stuff in Aliens, and I can't thing of anything more creepy that passionate, bloody gory sadistic, yet creative experimentation on human beings than right now.

I don't care if that is canon now the whole idea about a human creating a machine that is superior to him and that single machine going crazy and creating something that is even more "perfect" and yet so horrible that is kills everything, it all removes the mystery of the whole Alien setting. Plus it turns the iconic Xenomoprh race "nothing special" just a crazy experiment in the lab by a crazy android, that created the most dangerous species in the galaxy, yeah sure there is "suspension of disbelief" and there is "bullshit" this is 100% BS.
