The flute is a key. Not all keys are physical. Music has keys. Everything has a resonant frequency, Tesla understood this well. Thus the flute was a key triggering the resonant frequency of the ship. Look into cymatics, it's very interesting and even more so with the theological things tied into Prometheus. The book of Job says.." Where were you when the world was created and all the angels SANG together with joy?" A tone! It's pretty cool if you think of it.
Going with the theory that the Engineer ships are biomech and that, as seen in Promethus, the goo doesn't seem to actually affect the Juggernaut when it's spilled down the sides of the containers, I wonder if we've got the purpose of the goo or pathogen all wrong. What if the black pathogen is actually a form of fuel for the Engineer ships that keeps the biomech of the ships alive and able to make adaptions and repairs as needed? What if the pathogen/goo was toxic to other non-plant based biologies in the fact that it terraforms and/or destroys their DNA because it's too strong to perform it's original function on weaker biologies than the ships, thus transforming the other lifeforms that come into contact with it into primal horrors according to their individual biology? I don't really think this is actually something they'd consider revealing but it is definitely an interesting thought and possible plot twist.
Be interesting if the ships are the sentient beings or brought by sentient beings who first created the engineers. Compared to their cities, the ships appear to be far more advanced. Would tie into your theory a bit
What about the idea that the Tyrell corporation created the engineers and sent them through a einstein rosenbridge to the beginning of time, thus creating perfect biological artificial intelligence with millions of years of experience. 🤢🤮☺🌹
The inside of the helmet that the space jockey is about to have equipped looks organic and not highly technological. There is no visible visor nor wires or lights. The pilot may be able to link his central nervous system to the ship in order to be more efficient when piloting the vessel since it would in theory be an extension of the pilot himself. This may be why the flute needs to be used so that the juggernaut knows that it is accepting a link with an organic being and not an AI or robot. Until David was able to bypass it by playing the flute.
This might also explain why David is obsessed with mastering the flute in covenant. We already know he desires to be more human, and if the ship crashed as a possible result of not being able to use the flute well enough to operate or land the ship he would definitely want to improve that flaw and so he eventually learns how to “create” his own music.
The idea of a bio ship was actually introduced by Geiger himself. He pitched the idea to Scott and he loved it. It is pretty common in sci-fi to find living ships. The most famos one being Maya from Farscape.
But Giger didn't design the Juggernaut, he designed the Derelict from ALIEN, the whole interior from the Derelict is different to the one from the Juggernauts when you compare them.
Don't forget the Vorlon's ships in Babylon 5. They're built specifically for each individual and when Ambassador Kosh is killed, his ship flies into a nearby sun to destroy itself. That was an amazing T.V. show...
Well we wouldn't have any alien movies if it wasn't for Ridley. Do me a favor and link your own sci-fi blockbuster movie that's so much better then his.
The point is basically this: majority only hate, left disappointed with RS's work. Like the Star Wars sequels, nobody can appreciate the themes that are presented before us. The negativity only confirms the Engineers reasons for resetting humanity. We have to work together as a collective consciousness to flourish. Not fight hate with hate. Save what we love. Alien: Awakening will have the rest of the Engineers seen leaving the plaNet from the Prometheus prologue to see one of their homeworlds in destruction, will put Walter back together to lead them to David & his created army. Engineers will be forced to unite with humanity to overcome the larger threat - Deacon, seen in the ending of Prometheus. An interview shows Ridley Scott say, "People don't know that's the way we're going with." (War of the Worlds)
I always kinda thought the ships were alive ever since they found those gooey walls in the originals. Really makes sense that the xenomorphs would kind of use it like a nest too.
How some one can imagine this kind of a highly advanced space adventure stories? It's brilliant, waiting to see engineers coming back in 'Alien Awakening'.
flute is one of the oldest human musical instrument since prehistoric age (43,000 years ago). glad they used that in creative way in this movie. well done, writers.
It's a bent femur, designed by H. R. Giger, who was into biomechanical fusion in his art, as well as extreme, overt, sometimes deviant, sexuality. Surrealism of Night Terrors.
Giger didn't design the Juggernaut, he designed the Derelict from ALIEN, the whole interior from the Derelict is different to the one from the Juggernauts when you compare them.
@The Pornographer Giger did no work at Prometheus directly!!!! He just make a few drawns and the big mural in the "head room" based on one of it, but not the rest!

That picture change isn't Jugornout changing, its because when they opened the door the atmosphere of the preserved room got corrupted & its immediately started eroding the inner walls .Shaw actually talked about that in proemetheus

a common mistake. The tapestry and leaky pots were NOT ON A JUGGERNAUT! They were down a long hallway completely away and separate from it. in Prometheus the 3d map clearly shows this, and David doesn't open the ship door by himself until way after they found the tapestry room in the main pyramid structure.

Redstone Tnt The face huger has lungs to breathe air for it's host. What ever that air may be. This makes sense, give the host the same air it's use to breathing.
I'm without words of description every time I look at how flesh and machine seems to merge in Ridley Scott's things, like Xenomorphs and Engineers. Even the Engineer Temple's Murals appeared to be merged somehow.
I think it is indeed quite plausible that the Juggernauts are living organisms. Most likely not like an animal , not with own intelligence or even a consciousness, such a ship would certainly not require a pilot, but maybe more comparable to a tree or a plant. Given their seemingly organic structure, the Juggernauts really look like they are actually grown, not assembeled of individual parts. As the engineers seem to be true masters of biotechnology and are even capable of turning their own skin into space suits it is just logical for them to "engineer" an organism which is made for traveling through space and naturally able to withstand its harshness instead of laboriously constructing an artifical vessel like we do.
The engineers ship does not resemble the Ouroboros. The snake (or dragon in some depictions) actually has to swallow his tail (hence the symbol of infinity) and the ends of the ship don't connect at all. I think this comparison is a stretch.
There are many inspirations garnered from ancient Astronaut and creator God theories permeating Prometheus & Covenant. Kroft was probably looking hard at every angle, like many of us do, to try to connect the dots that are there to connect. Some do. Some don't. Part of the process of search & discovery!
Incorrect. Not a stretch in the slightest. Many Ouroboros are depicted with the snake head not connecting to the tail,, but simply being in close proximity to give an impression.
maybe blowing the flute was just a shortcut of starting the ship by using a 3 dimensional map of an authorized engineer's lungs when playing a particular note (and series of notes)?
My idea for a third alien/prometheus movie is as follows: The engineers are the main characters in the movie and comes to the planet that was in the Prometheus movie. There they find Weyland inside the crashed spaceship. They have a blue elixir which they empty all over him and bring him to life. In the next part they arrive at the planet from alien covenant and find the other robot(Walter) who is david's twin.The engineers use the blue elixir and repairs him. Once awaken the engineers and Weyland get to know all the horrible things that David has done, and weyland says "we have to stop David" . They set course for origae. When they arrive,they scans all the planet,and finds the planet is full of hostile organisms except on a high mountain where they discover that there are humans inside a cave. Inside the cave they meet a herd of children, who tell that when they had lived on the planet for over ten years, they began to be attacked by Xenomorphs and all the adults died or were turned into these creatures. There were also great giants developed by someone the children calls David. The engineers get ready to wipe out all the Xenomorphs that David has created, but the great giants manage to escape with one of the engineers' spaceships. The engineers and Weyland hunts the spaceship and manage to force the spaceship down on the planet lv426.Where it start sending a distress signal. The engineers return to Origae to find David, but discover that he has escaped. In the last part we see David arriving and meeting an unknown alien species on a tropical like planet.And that makes the cliffhanger that ends the third movie.
So will the blue substance make Weyland young again or just alive? I just picture it more Scooby Doo-like with Weyland running around with an Engineer and Walter in tow, kind of comical.
@@geetaramnath3147 I did not think about that issue when I wrote this, but I guess it could be a good idea. Maybe he could be regenerated to become younger while the engineers are traveling to Origae 6 like Milla Jovovich was in the fifth element? Do you think I should include it in the story?
i think it may be some old tradition, a custom like we have in many areas also military and naval. which could be just there for that sole purppse of upkeeping tradition maybe used as additional security mechanism to avoid un authorised personel of controling the ship.
We call this stuff, BIO ORGANIC, but it should really be MECHA ORGANIC. Using sound or sonics to activate controls would be the perfect security system. Well done!
Bro, you just blew my mind, I never thought about that in all these years that the juggernauts were of organic properties. Makes perfect sense with everything about the ship and the suits were embedded into their bodies, that shit blew my mind!
This is a very small thing, but I had always envisioned the Engineer ship flying "prongs" forward, but the movies seem to show them flying "prongs" rearward. I'm just wondering how many other people were and are disoriented by seeing the ship as it appears to be flying backwards. It's like looking at pictures of a car you thought was so cool for a long time and then finding out what you thought were brake lights were headlights.
Exactly. And they always show the (now) back part, we have no idea how the supposed front looks like. This is unspoken of. Everywhere else the back of a ship is rarely shown, so I suspect the prongs side WAS always the front side, but they changed that for the movie, I don't know why, maybe to make it even more weird ...
Ganush the elephant God plays flute. The space jockey suit resembles an elephant because the creator of the alien series mix religious influences to their creative work
The original Giger's design for what has become the "Alien" was called "biomechanoid" and all the 1979 Alien extraterrestrial designs looked really bio-mechanoidly too, so it would make sense the Engineer's technology is a marriage of those two elements. Nice video, thx!
4:05 Everything is vibration, frequency and energy, someone important said that. Good job highlighting in the title the secret KEY to control of the Juggernaut (I didn’t realize that was the ship’s name/type, cool.) is the unique frequency that flute must be able to produce. Link could travel into different realms to find Zelda by playing an ocarina, interesting.
The biomechanical universe imagined by Giger is all-encompassing....why wouldn't the the derelict and juggernauts be alive? I always assumed this from first seeing Alien in 1978 - why is it being debated? The space jockey technology would be far beyond the engineers copy and paste versions though - inside the derelict, space and time would be suspended, inner chambers stretching forever within a fifth dimension transcending our concepts of linear spacial boundaries (like a tardis....) Enjoyed and agree with your theory. Keep up the good work but go back to your original slower speech style....forget these fan-boys and their pet-peeves!
I always thought the ship was alive as well. That was the original theory from the '79 original film- " ...was it ( the space jocky) a he or she or an it, a biomechanical part of the ship in which it was travelling?" This was a part of the scenario from ALIEN before it first aired.
I feel that's what makes it better. I prefer not to have a bunch of idiots enjoying things I do. The quality storytelling is it's own filter against unimaginative people.
In engineering there's something called topology optimisation which shapes materials based on the forces they need to withstand, and often results in organic shapes. Biology does this too. Eg your bones reshape as you grow in part directed by forces you experience. Maybe the ship is like a tree in that relatively small mass is actually 'living' and the rest is 'dead' structural material. Honestly it's a bunch of tradeoffs, bulk material vs nanostructured, growth vs machining, repairability vs strength etc etc
This is a fascinating theory. I love it. It totally ties into Giger's designs and how the derelict and space jockey were more bone like in Alien. They were decomposing and the mechanical parts made the jockey look fossilised. It reminds me of Moya and Pilot from Farscape. You have a great channel, keep up the good work.
The exterior Moya design was heavily inspired by H.R. Giger. It even had the same brown/green/ivory color scheme as a lot of his paintings. The interior on the other hand was a low budger papirmaché mess.
The biotek style of the ship as well as the Engineer's suit as well as the Alien in all its form's was inspired by and created by the Swiss artist H.R. Gieger and his art is full representations of biology mixed with technology. This could be the main reason why we see this in the films. It adds to the mysterious dark space horror aesthetic.
Of the two things that make sense to you in life I'm sure this isn't one of them... just as long as you understand that it is my heated BBC that runs not only your be whole son, but your entire life as well. There's a song called "Don't Fear the Night Penis" that I think you should listen to before you go to sleep tonight.
Nice theory indeed @kroft. I only just now watched Prometheus and Covenant, very interesting movies for a sci-fi nerd like myself. Concerning both the mothership and the Jagernauth crashing it could could be because of the black goo being released in the atmosphere and coming into contact with the ships as you hypothesized, however in Prometheus we see the black ‘cannisters’ being activated inside spilling the black goo inside the Jagernauth when the human crew gains access to the room where the cannisters were being stored. So at that moment the ship should have already been contaminated by the black goo, rendering the ship useless. Leading me to the idea that either the containment room where the cannisters were stored had a special resistance against the black goo OR both ships (mothership and Jagernauth) back on paradise planet have some kind of (symbiotic) connection with either the planet, its inhabitants or some kind of control center that was affected when David unleashed hell on the planet. One way or the other I think the theory that the ship is ‘alive’ makes sense, purely by looking at its composition as described by dr. Shaw.
The nightmarish fusion of life and machinery was an obsession of H. R. Giger's. And it was he, who designed the Juggernaut. And the Space Jockey. That alone suffices for me to support your theory.
It's very simple. The flute and its pattern produce certain frequencies and harmonics. All it is is a safety measure. The ship will activate when this specific sound pattern is played. Without that flute, pattern and engineer that ship would not start. Think of it like a very secure and sophisticated immobiliser for the ship. As for the ship being partly alive? Dont see it. And the room that changed wasnt on the ship. It was in the labs away from the ship. The mural began to tarnish because the environment had been changed in the room for the first time in over 2000 years. The materials in the mural would have oxidised. Either that or the mural itself was some sort of environmental monitor. But it had nothing to do with what you have suggested.
I agree with you. -the mural changed with the intrusion of humans. even the previously frozen black liquid only came out of the urns after entering the room. the black liquid reacted like it should as a weapon. individually. adapted to the new given conditions of the "environment". just like it should happen on earth.
That's a lot of theorization. The juggernaught - uroboros thing made me smile. Giger actually picked this design because he used organic material, in this case... a rib. So it's just because a rib was used to design it that it looks so, nothing to do with uroboros :).
David doesn't need to create anything to blow the flute. He already knows how to use it because he is made to resemble human in all ways, playing basketball, playing piano etc. He learned everything in a split of a second, that's why he can read all the writings/manual on the Spaceship wall and operate the spaceship after seeing in hologram video how SpaceJock operated them. Well, just like we are using remote control to operate machines, flute might be the way to operate the Spaceship. Walter obviously was made just to serve human, that's why he doesn't know how to play flute, playing flute is not a creation, is a learning steps, that's how David taught him. But making new song, new instrument or create new breed is creation, only David manage to do that and he hopes Walter can join him too to be the partner of creation.
That flute stuff is just advanced sonic technology. They using some echo location dolphin type stuff. Radar stuff. Sound, vibrations can tell animals distance,size, shape and all type info.
All very interesting points & observations that seem to fit, except for the last bit about the black goo pathogen coming into contact with the Juggernaut. The Juggernauts seem to have been designed to release entire cargo holds of the canisters of goo. If you notice the canisters are synchronistic in their deployment by design and do not burst until *well* beneath the Juggernaut and the mother Juggernaur. So I do not believe the goo had anything to do with the Juggernaut or mother Juggernaut wreckages directly. The cause for their crashes is one of several mysteries that should have been explained.
Really love how the ships are alive even though they're not sentient like the reapers from Mass effect they are literally the perfect combination between synthetic and organic material.
It actually explains why in the original Alien movie, the interior of the ship is fossilized, Great Theory!

The engineers are the main characters in the movie and comes to the planet that was in the Prometheus movie.
There they find Weyland inside the crashed spaceship. They have a blue elixir which they empty all over him and bring him to life.
In the next part they arrive at the planet from alien covenant and find the other robot(Walter) who is david's twin.The engineers use the blue elixir and repairs him.
Once awaken the engineers and Weyland get to know all the horrible things that David has done, and weyland says "we have to stop David" .
They set course for origae. When they arrive,they scans all the planet,and finds the planet is full of hostile organisms except
on a high mountain where they discover that there are humans inside a cave.
Inside the cave they meet a herd of children, who tell that when they had lived on the planet for over ten years,
they began to be attacked by Xenomorphs and all the adults died or were turned into these creatures.
There were also great giants developed by someone the children calls David.
The engineers get ready to wipe out all the Xenomorphs that David has created, but the great giants manage to escape with one of the engineers' spaceships.
The engineers and Weyland hunts the spaceship and manage to force the spaceship down on the planet lv426.Where it start sending a distress signal.
The engineers return to Origae to find David, but discover that he has escaped.
In the last part we see David arriving and meeting an unknown alien species

Maybe he could be regenerated to become younger while the engineers are traveling to Origae 6 like Milla Jovovich was in the fifth element?
Do you think I should include it in the story?
@@parmadacruz8755 you could maybe incorporate it somehow to your liking
i think it may be some old tradition, a custom like we have in many areas also military and naval. which could be just there for that sole purppse of upkeeping tradition maybe used as additional security mechanism to avoid un authorised personel of controling the ship.
We call this stuff, BIO ORGANIC, but it should really be MECHA ORGANIC. Using sound or sonics to activate controls would be the perfect security system. Well done!
Bro, you just blew my mind, I never thought about that in all these years that the juggernauts were of organic properties. Makes perfect sense with everything about the ship and the suits were embedded into their bodies, that shit blew my mind!
This is why I keep watching this channel as the possibilities and logic of the videos just make hope we will see more from this franchise.
These videos show so much that I overlooked in the movies. The amount of thought put towards the non-human components in the series is just amazing.
So this is why David taught Walter to play flute
This is a very small thing, but I had always envisioned the Engineer ship flying "prongs" forward, but the movies seem to show them flying "prongs" rearward. I'm just wondering how many other people were and are disoriented by seeing the ship as it appears to be flying backwards. It's like looking at pictures of a car you thought was so cool for a long time and then finding out what you thought were brake lights were headlights.
Exactly. And they always show the (now) back part, we have no idea how the supposed front looks like. This is unspoken of. Everywhere else the back of a ship is rarely shown, so I suspect the prongs side WAS always the front side, but they changed that for the movie, I don't know why, maybe to make it even more weird ...
So, magik flute responsible for how David imitates walter and stuff: as much sense as anything in the franchise...
I can't wait for the next movie. R.Scott has alot of explaining to do there are alot questions we all have and I hope he answers them.
Fascinating analysis! Even if your presumption about the ship being alive is wrong it's a wonderful interpretation. Ridley would be proud.
you have the best alien channel, love watching your views, explanations, and videos! : )
Very good point! I never thought about the ship and their suits being bioengineered. The flute explanation is excellent.
Ganush the elephant God plays flute. The space jockey suit resembles an elephant because the creator of the alien series mix religious influences to their creative work
Totally ready to hear more!
The original Giger's design for what has become the "Alien" was called "biomechanoid" and all the 1979 Alien extraterrestrial designs looked really bio-mechanoidly too, so it would make sense the Engineer's technology is a marriage of those two elements. Nice video, thx!
Very creative and imaginative analysis. Well done.
4:05 Everything is vibration, frequency and energy, someone important said that. Good job highlighting in the title the secret KEY to control of the Juggernaut (I didn’t realize that was the ship’s name/type, cool.) is the unique frequency that flute must be able to produce.
Link could travel into different realms to find Zelda by playing an ocarina, interesting.
I love the track you use in the background of your videos
The biomechanical universe imagined by Giger is all-encompassing....why wouldn't the the derelict and juggernauts be alive? I always assumed this from first seeing Alien in 1978 - why is it being debated?
The space jockey technology would be far beyond the engineers copy and paste versions though - inside the derelict, space and time would be suspended, inner chambers stretching forever within a fifth dimension transcending our concepts of linear spacial boundaries (like a tardis....)
Enjoyed and agree with your theory. Keep up the good work but go back to your original slower speech style....forget these fan-boys and their pet-peeves!
Not bad, keep making these videos. I like them, and good job with the editing btw.
I like the videos and the unique style... Keep up the good work Croftus...
Another well done summary!!
I always thought the ship was alive as well. That was the original theory from the '79 original film- " ...was it ( the space jocky) a he or she or an it, a biomechanical part of the ship in which it was travelling?" This was a part of the scenario from ALIEN before it first aired.
I wish Aliens was a real book like Game of Thrones, then I could read the missing pieces.
One day. Although, there're comics out there that helped to conclude the missing pieces somewhere (maybe as collector items?).
Kroft, you're SUPERB!!! Thank you!!! So many wonderful theories, thesis, speculations. You're the Engineer of our imagination :)
Love how you say the science behind juggernauts. Lol. Made me smile
This would help support the theory that David didn't kill Shaw. Because if the ship is alive it could have affected Shaw while she was asleep.
The movies are immense. Just a pity most people are too stupid to appreciate it.
If we judge them by visual appearance, you are right. Everything else, especially plot, raises a lot of questions.
Lassi Kinnumen................as i was saying!
as i said, it's cause you're stupid!
I feel that's what makes it better. I prefer not to have a bunch of idiots enjoying things I do. The quality storytelling is it's own filter against unimaginative people.
Rios. Ha-ha good point!
Keep the vids coming Bro!
In engineering there's something called topology optimisation which shapes materials based on the forces they need to withstand, and often results in organic shapes. Biology does this too. Eg your bones reshape as you grow in part directed by forces you experience. Maybe the ship is like a tree in that relatively small mass is actually 'living' and the rest is 'dead' structural material. Honestly it's a bunch of tradeoffs, bulk material vs nanostructured, growth vs machining, repairability vs strength etc etc
This is a fascinating theory. I love it. It totally ties into Giger's designs and how the derelict and space jockey were more bone like in Alien. They were decomposing and the mechanical parts made the jockey look fossilised. It reminds me of Moya and Pilot from Farscape. You have a great channel, keep up the good work.
The exterior Moya design was heavily inspired by H.R. Giger. It even had the same brown/green/ivory color scheme as a lot of his paintings.
The interior on the other hand was a low budger papirmaché mess.
Your videos are awesome!
The biotek style of the ship as well as the Engineer's suit as well as the Alien in all its form's was inspired by and created by the Swiss artist H.R. Gieger and his art is full representations of biology mixed with technology. This could be the main reason why we see this in the films. It adds to the mysterious dark space horror aesthetic.
oh my God that picture you have of the Juggernaut at 1:55 ish captured that in the sky and they are huge
So the flute is a captcha code.
I love your theories man
Great! Keep it up!
This makes sense. Great video!
Of the two things that make sense to you in life I'm sure this isn't one of them... just as long as you understand that it is my heated BBC that runs not only your be whole son, but your entire life as well. There's a song called "Don't Fear the Night Penis" that I think you should listen to before you go to sleep tonight.
Those sounds from the Juggernaut might’ve been the distress signal
Your analysis seems spot on to me!
Math and music are very interconnected. Those who are very intelligent in regards to math are also usually quite good at learning music.
Prometheus is the best movie ever
Uriel Gonzalez yes it was which was why i did not like Covenant that much 😀
jasio kowalski But it was, it just was not a good Alien Movie, but a lot of Alien Movies suck too sooo...
Uriel Gonzalez But saying it's the best movie ever is kind of an over statement.
Uriel Gonzalez honestly my favorite as well
You didnt watch many movies :P
I thought I was done after the movie was over but your videos are awesome thank you
Nice theory indeed @kroft. I only just now watched Prometheus and Covenant, very interesting movies for a sci-fi nerd like myself. Concerning both the mothership and the Jagernauth crashing it could could be because of the black goo being released in the atmosphere and coming into contact with the ships as you hypothesized, however in Prometheus we see the black ‘cannisters’ being activated inside spilling the black goo inside the Jagernauth when the human crew gains access to the room where the cannisters were being stored. So at that moment the ship should have already been contaminated by the black goo, rendering the ship useless. Leading me to the idea that either the containment room where the cannisters were stored had a special resistance against the black goo OR both ships (mothership and Jagernauth) back on paradise planet have some kind of (symbiotic) connection with either the planet, its inhabitants or some kind of control center that was affected when David unleashed hell on the planet. One way or the other I think the theory that the ship is ‘alive’ makes sense, purely by looking at its composition as described by dr. Shaw.
Or like earth the air traffic controller died and no one left to park the damn things
Yup, the obvious scenario.
how can David play a flute if he does not breathe? he's clearly not a human, so technicaly he does not need lungs...
The nightmarish fusion of life and machinery was an obsession of H. R. Giger's. And it was he, who designed the Juggernaut. And the Space Jockey. That alone suffices for me to support your theory.
Did anyone notice the DNA symbol on 4:58?
I never would have noticed.I wouldn't have expected something so demanding at alien covenant.maybe I have overlooked more
Because they were inspired by Elvis Presley. So, they thought what better way to encrypt the password?
And the material of the ship looks very organic
Great theory makes all the movies a little more interesting
Pretty good theory man. I concur.
Where can I find this music Kraft uses in the back ground?
It's a sample from a song called "Night Penis"
@@jennyanydots2389 You must be hard up.
@@oldhawkins It's a pretty popular song. I'm suprised you haven't heard of it already.
Hold on. If the ship had biological components, then why, if it was exposed to the pathogen, didn't an alien spawn from that as it did in other hosts?
So the Juggernauts are like the Wraith ships in Stargåte: Atlantis?
I fully enjoyed it..thank you 😍😍😍😍
It's very simple. The flute and its pattern produce certain frequencies and harmonics. All it is is a safety measure. The ship will activate when this specific sound pattern is played. Without that flute, pattern and engineer that ship would not start. Think of it like a very secure and sophisticated immobiliser for the ship. As for the ship being partly alive? Dont see it. And the room that changed wasnt on the ship. It was in the labs away from the ship. The mural began to tarnish because the environment had been changed in the room for the first time in over 2000 years. The materials in the mural would have oxidised. Either that or the mural itself was some sort of environmental monitor. But it had nothing to do with what you have suggested.
I agree with you.
-the mural changed with the intrusion of humans. even the previously frozen black liquid only came out of the urns after entering the room. the black liquid reacted like it should as a weapon. individually. adapted to the new given conditions of the "environment". just like it should happen on earth.
awesome video!
i personally dont find it strange because organic parts to a space craft isnt really a new concept in sci fi tales
That's a lot of theorization. The juggernaught - uroboros thing made me smile. Giger actually picked this design because he used organic material, in this case... a rib. So it's just because a rib was used to design it that it looks so, nothing to do with uroboros :).
Matthieu Nogues and if you know the scripts if religions - "I have taken a piece of you, to make you a partner"...
BOOYA
David doesn't need to create anything to blow the flute. He already knows how to use it because he is made to resemble human in all ways, playing basketball, playing piano etc. He learned everything in a split of a second, that's why he can read all the writings/manual on the Spaceship wall and operate the spaceship after seeing in hologram video how SpaceJock operated them. Well, just like we are using remote control to operate machines, flute might be the way to operate the Spaceship.
Walter obviously was made just to serve human, that's why he doesn't know how to play flute, playing flute is not a creation, is a learning steps, that's how David taught him. But making new song, new instrument or create new breed is creation, only David manage to do that and he hopes Walter can join him too to be the partner of creation.
Great points! Isn't it the biggest shame to now know that it's Michael Fassbender and NOT these guys who created the xeno?
David send a "message" to Elizabeth, when playing at the flute :)
Thanks kroft. Like your videos.
:) i hope engineers comes back in a another ridley scott movie
Truth be told that ain’t no flute 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That flute stuff is just advanced sonic technology. They using some echo location dolphin type stuff. Radar stuff. Sound, vibrations can tell animals distance,size, shape and all type info.
Becuse a piano is just too big to be packing everywhere
Sound vibration is what causes Energy to take manifest into physical form. In the beginning was the word, an the word was God.
Makes perfect sense they would use a flute.
All very interesting points & observations that seem to fit, except for the last bit about the black goo pathogen coming into contact with the Juggernaut. The Juggernauts seem to have been designed to release entire cargo holds of the canisters of goo. If you notice the canisters are synchronistic in their deployment by design and do not burst until *well* beneath the Juggernaut and the mother Juggernaur. So I do not believe the goo had anything to do with the Juggernaut or mother Juggernaut wreckages directly.
The cause for their crashes is one of several mysteries that should have been explained.
Really love how the ships are alive even though they're not sentient like the reapers from Mass effect they are literally the perfect combination between synthetic and organic material.
If it's TRUE.. wouldn't the ship also mutate or transform into an huge alien. Since it was infected with the back gooo
