      Agree, should be because final production decisions are based on box office success, that said Prometheus is much better than covenant, Prometheus leaves plenty of question to be answered while covenant kills that line of the story for a return to the original alien formula for those who pay tickets and want more gore and xenomorphs on screen

    In a deleted scene, the engineer that pursued Shaw seemed amazed at some of the stuff in the crashed ship which implied high culture, books and a hologram of a child playing. Kinda sad because it implies that the Engineer sort of realizes that they may have jumped the gun with regards to the humans.

    • @similaritiesendhere
      @similaritiesendhere 5 лет назад +170

      It makes more sense that the black goo/xenomorphs/everything in between is something the engineers naturally discovered and tried to control or manipulate. They can't control it either. Look at humans and nuclear weapons. If they were going off randomly during the development process, we'd probably stop developing them.

      @@luvgzus4ever The whole idea that the goo is a evolutionary accelerator sounds stupid to anyone who understands natural selection. It behaves more like a retrovirus that injects foreign genes into the victims' DNA. My guess is that they use the black goo to inject the DNA of an extremely aggressive creature or multiple creatures they discovered.
      If they mastered genetics so well that they could create xenomorphs from scratch shouldn't they have used that tech to make themselves invincible (at least immune to xenomorphs impregnation)?

    • @similaritiesendhere
      @similaritiesendhere 5 лет назад +73

      I think the best evidence that xenomorphs aren't entirely an Engineer construct is the fact that they seem to have a religious significance to the Engineers.
      Humans don't worship androids. The androids are just idols of something they do worship: themselves and the god/gods that made them in their image.
      The xenomorph is just them trying to recreate something they encountered. The perfect organism isn't the classic xenomorph that we all know. It's the parasite that can become its host and survive anywhere.

    • @similaritiesendhere
      @similaritiesendhere 5 лет назад +64

      To futher expound on the matter, the basic Engineer religion is the worship and spread of life throughout the universe. We've seen two types of Engineers. The highly advanced ones working on the black goo and the more agrarian ones that David wiped out.
      It looks like two sides of the same religion to me. One group might've been horrified by the destructive nature of xenomorph-like creatures and the other might have been an apocalyptic cult that worshiped them as the ultimate life form. One side sees death and the other side sees perfected life.
      We have the same divisions here on Earth. There's a whole lot of people who can't wait for the apocalypse.

    The Engineers appear to have a caste system similar to the Forerunners from Halo. Each member of the species is born into a caste, warrior, scientist, builder, etc. They have no wiggle room when it comes to their professions.

It was plainly said about the Alien film that the original idea was for the Xenos to have a complete, high functioning civilization, with the Queens and the male drones having elaborate mating rituals (involving a third party in some way) in huge temple-like structures. They were supposed to be this huge thing but R.S. was convinced to dumb it down because he was told that the average film-going audience was too stupid to understand/care about the super in-depth backstory they had.
      So yeah, "David" didn't create dick. He just killed loads of people because he was a psychotic robot that got out of control.

      David may have figured out how to bio engineer his own xenomorph but the Engineer already did that ages ago..it's apparent when Shaw and them discover the ship. Their are massive murals of a queen xenomorph and other form of "the alien" as we know carved all over the walls. So David is just rediscovering something that knew bout ages ago

    After a belly full of chest busters, Xenomorphs and androids, the Engineers have been the best thing to reboot the franchise giving the whole story purpose. I find them far more sinister, scary and interesting than any chest buster. It's just sad Ridley gave into pressure and instead of making Promethues 2 and leaving Shaw alive. He created Alien Convenant making David the centre piece. I want answers to Shaws questions and Engineers to be explored in depth, not more of what we've already had over and over.

Now engineers and predators are rival civilizations and our ancestors began to worship the predators while the engineers were away. Engineers might not have liked this and maybe thats why in Prometheus the ships current target was Earth before the outbreak happened on the ship. Now I havent read much of the comics, so this is based mainly on cinematic observations.

    Pretty sure the Xeno's were made before David, it just has so many genome editing abilities for adaptation. Davids just playing with a weapon he doesn't understand.
    To me it seems there is more then one version of the goo, or at least it can be edited to be volatile. One version to create life, another to destroy.

The exploration and pacing was excellent, the discovery just so satisfying, and the mysteries behind it all perfect. The film is also creepy as fuck, and so is the set design

    "They, were in good terms with us, but a specific event that happened two thousand years ago made them hostile towards humans."
    They sent one of them to guide us, and we crucified him. They sent an engineer named "Jesus". This made them lose all hope in our species, leading them to deciding to wipe us out.

    • @vengeance.7059

      The original script of the movie was that they took Jesus as a child to their home planet to teach him their ways and when he was crucified they got really pissed off, so they decided that they were gonna destroy the humans.

    For the 1st Alien movie event to happen, I see only 2 ways that can happen:
    1. Covenant is captured by the Engineers, they force David to work with them, and either they go off to test it or David somehow tricks them.
    2. Engineers come to Argai 6 to either populate/investigate it and find the xenomorphs, they then take some eggs, head to the planet but are killed off by the xenomorphs (facehuggers injecting them) and end up on the planet, and the inhabitants are wiped out.
    I personally don't see David working with them willingly, he'll either try to destroy externally or internally. But it will cut kinda close since if 2 is true, then David will have about 10 years to make the finishing touch; the Queen. Note that according to Walter, it would take 7.5 years to reach Argai 6. But if 1 is true, then I could see David having ample enough time as well as resources to finish his masterpiece well before that event.
    I do like origin movies, but I wish that Ridley had started Prometheus at an earlier date along with Covenant - It is a fictional universe and he isn't bound by "realistic tech development in time", even closer to our own time irl wouldn't be so crazy. The Gap between Covenant & 1st Alien timelines should've been wider, like 20-30 years wider, then it would allow David to R&D his creation more thoroughly. With the current gap, 10 to 18 years in my opinion is not really enough time for David to perfect it and somehow get the Engineers to transport it.
    Maybe theres a 3rd? David manages to make himself a God like figure to the Engineers for making the Xenomorphs, for all we know he ends up causing their extinction. Still, not a lot of time to tie in events.
    Still would make me wonder why Weyland decided on a such a tiny crew for such an extremely large ship, the one Ripley's team is on - just considering a Colony ship had way more crew. Compared to the ship Ripley's crew is on, Covenant for a Colony ship is SUPER TINY when you think about it.

    9:14 there are extended scenes of the engineer speaking to Welan. He says in that monologue that they wanted to destroy humans because they had raised a child in paradise and sent him to earth to lead them in their advancement and the humans killed him. 2 thousand years ago.....it was Jesus Christ. The engineers culture is to sacrifice themselves to create.

    As a person who at one point wanted to write Science Fiction, I read a lot of books, were the writer was far better at writing then I am, but as an engineer (Master degree in Electrical Engineering) I realized they lack in the science area. To that end I studied various area of real science to get to get in right in my own work. Much of genetics is were they get it wrong. Just because a Engineer was used as the starting source for live on earth, that would not mean out genetics would nearly identical. Because not all life on earth had nearly identical DNA. Humans have 23 base pairs, for a total of 46 chromosomes, but Wolf/Dogs/Foxes/Dingos/and the rest of the creatures in that line have 64 Chromosomes! And they evolved as mammals on the same planet we did!
