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)?
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.
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.
Ridley actually said in an interview that humans were on their last chance 2000yrs ago to change their ways. The engineers sent them a teacher who they then crucified. That's why a wipe-out ship was getting ready to launch for earth 2000yrs ago according to the nav computer.

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. Once you’re born into one of these castes, there’s no leaving it. When you’re born a warrior, you’ll die a warrior.
And then there's gonna be this one person who were born as a warrior but wanted to be a scientist, question their culture & rebel for what he/she believes which then inspired the whole race 😂
Halo also has the flood (which could be like xenomorphs), and structures to wipe them out in case of emergency. I've played Halo for years and it's fascinating how much Alien and Halo share with one another, even in sound and architecture, it's absolutely amazing how much of Alien is in Halo.

Yea but corrupt Hollywood don't want us believing in Jesus or religion. So they had to "dumb" it down sadly. I wish they did add that scene, would have made it even better.
Idk why people hate on Prometheus, I absolutely loved this movie and the amount of depth and backstory it brought to the universe. And the cinematography is breathtaking. I didn't enjoy Alien Covenant neeearly as much but I still appreciated the lore aspects of it even though the story was eh.
to me it was a big mistery to know where xenomorphs came from. now i know they used the "bad humanity" excuse, and the xenomorphs are basically what they are because of humans, and thats a total bullshit. to say that an entire race is going to wipe out another one that they were responsable for creating, just because they behave bad, it´s cheap and stupid. the "humans meeting its creators" was good, but the entire outcome and the way it happened, PITY
@@KittySYT stfu lol @ odyssesus; yeah me too this was a favourite of myne. It was just something about the engineers and the explorational tone of prometheus, something about discovering new things and traveling to a planet light years away using a map from millenia ago, it's just so mysterious and beautiful Shame that ridley listening to the fans resulted in covenant :/
I much preferred the set up in the original Alien movies before the retcon. I loved the idea that humanity was taking it's first steps into space and finding something like a desolated galaxy, the sides involved dead by the weapons they resorted to, Great Filter-style. I liked the xenomorph as being like a metaphor for landmines on a cosmic/lovecraftian scale, as human's explored who knew what we might trigger in the dark corners of a post-apocalypic galaxy. So much potential in that idea now gone...
The engineer that killed weyland was disgusted at him begging for more life and silencing the scientist shaw who was asking the right questions but was silenced with a muzzle to her c section. The engineers face was so understanding of shaws questions, that I’m convinced he understood her.
Yes he seemed both interested in Dr Shaw and had a sense of Pity for David, but he looked at Weyland actions and he indeed knew that Mankind was still a Rotten Apple
Of course he didn't create the Xenomorphs. 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.
I agree we all expected that Dr Shaw would get us our Answers. But looking at David and Weyland and their Relationship and reason for Davids Creation and also why David wanted to Create is likely the same as why the Engineers created us.. which likely was because they could/test how Great they are. And/or to serve some Function
The first of the movies gave you more of a sense of “awe” and “curiosity” toward this potential human origins story. The second didn’t have that for me. It was more of a look into the bio weaponry David harnessed and him becoming a “god”. “In order to create, one must first destroy”
@@mevinr72 Yeah I guess so, but like they dont do any transitioning or making it as if theres thought process involved when speaking a foreign language form an aliens perspective
I love this upload too; The Engineers presented epicly, like a true superior being looks pathetically towards through the humanity, and with an absolute disgust to AI
@@toastpuppy3491 Stfu, shiteater. And yes, Frieza also had a Xenomorph like form. Toriyama likes the Alien movie franchise ever since seeing the first movie.
There was a scene in one of the original Alien films with a gigantic deceased Space Jockey in the pilot seat, with a huge hole cavity in his chest,that insinuates that he had gotten contaminated when either landing on a desolate planet and a distress message was sent out to the other neighboring space voyagers and Engineers,that is where that part of the prequel picks up at with Space Marines taking the SOS distress message from dead Space Jockey.
@@brainwashed9380 That’s exactly his point. Don’t get so high on your own hubris that you think you can demand immortality from your own god. (The engineers in this case).
@@account4345 I got the point he was making I’m just saying dat “Don’t play god and not expect him to play back” sounds like a Christian saying but in this case there’s more than one god since the engineers are a god like species so they are gods and can be out smarted by humans. It’s probably highly unlikely for us to out smart them but in a rare occasion we could and they make mistakes just like us
Also it won't be so much about what Ridley Scott wants to do with it, but what Disney allows him to do with it. Which I guess is okay, just so long as The Queen gets to be inducted into the Disney Princess franchise.
they should jsut stop thewse movies sucked and they just dropped the engineers being humanities origin they just didnt even bother showing more and made it all about cooky maternal god complex david.. Ridley Scott used Aliens as a tool for more spooky AI android horror no one really wanted
DarkestEye there’s been lore throughout the AVP and colonial marines video game franchises that shows a potential civil war between engineers... those that wanted to make weapons and those that wanted to end the practice of species creation. The lore is that all this is really about a war between two engineer factions..
Well, it's a long story. The Yautja were originally known as the Hish, but were augmented by the Amengi race of alien insectoids and after their creations overpowered them, the Yautja took over their technology.
I still think they’re very good movies, especially Covenant which to me was a really great watch. Both are pretty fascinating for how they explain the original Alien films too
I feel like some of the horror of Alien was not knowing anything about where the Xenomorphs or Face-Huggers had come from. The more Alien (or Alien related) movies we get, the further away from horror it becomes. Kinda makes me worried for the future of the franchise.
I have my phases of things that I'm super into from time to time. Sometimes it will be Greek Spartans, sometimes it will be samurais, etc. Thanks to you, that phase is now aliens.... On a side note, you think you'll cover some things in the Stargate TV series?? Things like the Ancients and Asguards??
What if that engineer that we think sacrifice him self for the creation of the human race, was actually sentenced to death and he created us by accident.
the engineers held the xenomorph in high esteem because they used its blood to save their species, and thats why their pressure suits look like the xenomorph. but they ran out of its actuall blood a loooong time ago and theyve been simulating it with a techno-organic substitute. the big engineer head in prometheus was a tribute to the first engineer to have been facehugged. this is all stuff you can find out from the original script.
In one of the films, Prometheus (I think), I remember the engineers sent someone to earth about 2000 years ago to teach them about peace and stop the violence...but humans killed him. After that they decided to wipe out their creation. I actually thought that was a good plot device which is why I remembered it.
I have come to believe there are 6 types of engineers. Each shaped by their cast Elder. The black goo in the vials is hostile as when properly armed the canisters explode open, causing the goo to become agitated/hostile. At some point one or more of the factions had a disagreement on how to deal with the human population and they were sabotaged
Here's an important weakness in the plot of Prometheus that needs explanation: the cave paintings on Earth all give the location of the "military installation" planet, and not the Engineer homeworld or some other place. Why is this? Did military installation planet really have a different purpose somehow? Why would the Engineers direct humanity there?
@@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203 Engineers: dont visit us here's a map of where we live! Jokes aside I think it was a warning that engineers will come down to earth from that planet to kill the humans if they misbehave
@@Georgefloydsneckk cause even if we killed jesus , we are living better life now . Atleast better than 2000 years ago . All of us have better nutrition better healthcare bigger immunity and we all are growing big and tall . So killing jesus would piss off engineers is a stupid assumption .
@@dermachtige6123 that’s seriously missing the point. It’s not measured by income or production it’s based on cultural aspects of the species as a whole
@@Thomas-gs3gv yeah , i mean if they had to, they would have done it anyway . We are living Better life but what's better according to them is still unknown so , cant say more.
Ridley destroyed the xenomorph mythos by forcing David into the role or creator. What made them so scary were the things that were unknown about them. Aliens introducing the Queen and Warrior class made it clear that they could come in any form, and further emphasized the threat they posed. Having them now be nothing more then a cyborgs pet project has made them as lame and pathetic as an experiment gone awry.
Except David did not create them. He was doing his on experiments on them but considering in Prometheus they go into the room with the canisters and there is a relief etched into the wall clearly showing a Xenomorph they obviously already existed.
Ridley's own words, were that he wanted to have David be the creator of the original Alien xenomorph. As the xenos carry over various physical characteristics from host to host, it could be surmised that it took generations of different host species to look the way they did in the original movies. Yet, even tho Prometheus clearly showed a distinctive looking xeno at the end. David somehow managed to create a strain that looked a lot like the original xenos even tho they were using the same species of host as the one from Prometheus.
Yet after the original film that unknown element was ruined by having about 50 Xenos in the movie. The thing that made them so scary was that you barely saw it, knew nothing about it etc. Only after Aliens do we learn more about them. They haven't been scary since Aliens lol.
@@soul_vicex So to you, its plausible that a ship containing hundreds of eggs would only ever infect 1 host? Alien was a claustrophobic horror. Aliens was a run and gun action movie. Despite the difference in genera, the menacing effect of the xenomorph was not lost. The only difference was that instead of a solitary game of hide and heel, we got to see the effect of a plant wide infestation. We still knew little to nothing about them. Yes we saw were the original eggs would have come from, but that was it. It took the cowardly more stealthy xeno from alien, and introduced us to its more aggressive and confrontational warrior cousin. Again, nothing else was reveal, questions were left answered. All we knew is that xenos were more of a threat then initially thought.
I always thought the engineers that David destroyed in Covenant were the same as the ones in Prometheus, and the reason they looked more like us was because the filmmakers didn't want to go to the effort and expense of all the make-up that was necessary for hundreds of people. So have I been wrong all this time? They were supposed to look less like the engineers from Prometheus?
If we consider the AVP and alien timelines, which I know Ridley didnt direct besides first alien, then it shows the predators visiting earth sometime in the past. 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.
00:09 Ever notice the Engineers body suit looks like its made of Xenomorph skins? Like a Gothic futuristic Xenomorph leather body armor suit thing, would make sense to make armor out of their hides, since its acid proof....js
I had heard somewhere (I feel that it was by Ridley Scott himself) that the Engineers in the Prometheus movie are actually a splinter faction of Engineers that were disgusted by the creations of the other factions of the species and this why in Covenant we see such different Engineers and they seem sorta happy to see a ship of theirs coming back because to them it means that their brethren are returning home and accepting their pacifist way of life.
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.
Man I can't stress enough how fucking good Prometheus is, never have I ever had such a will to know the lore of a film like this. 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
I have not watched a single one of these because they seem convoluted. But I can't help but wonder about the story. Super intriguing. I love channels like these that explain it well. I don't wanna waste time with the movies since it seems like they're a mess.
"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.
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.
@@jvvayne555 Damn, it might have been another request then. Hopefully he'll make one at somepoint, it was a great film. And still so much more that I want to know about it.
I'm hoping it turns out xenos are older and more mysterious and are the source of the black goo and David just came full circle with an inferior strain and we get our proto/xeno Dule.
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.
Humanity has a shit attitude they think they are god. Just like Weyland. Also Weyland thought that he was a god by creating David. But he was just a false corporate god.
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!
Humans share 50% of our DNA with bananas. With chimpanzees, it's 99%. Makes sense that our DNA would so closely match with the Engineers' because there's only so many ways to match up base pairs.
It's funny how I'm more interested in the lore of these films than the films themselves. Bags of potential wasted in both.
Exactly how I feel
We want more engineers but they give us alien shit.
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

Idk why people hate on Prometheus, I absolutely loved this movie and the amount of depth and backstory it brought to the universe. And the cinematography is breathtaking. I didn't enjoy Alien Covenant neeearly as much but I still appreciated the lore aspects of it even though the story was eh.
Because depth and backstory mean's dick all if the characters and story suck. Lore accents a good story, it doesn't carry it.
Agree completely
The Engineers are boring and uninteresting.
to me it was a big mistery to know where xenomorphs came from. now i know they used the "bad humanity" excuse, and the xenomorphs are basically what they are because of humans, and thats a total bullshit.
to say that an entire race is going to wipe out another one that they were responsable for creating, just because they behave bad, it´s cheap and stupid. the "humans meeting its creators" was good, but the entire outcome and the way it happened, PITY
Prometheus is amazing, AC is disappointing.

Prometheus was one of my favourite movies when I younger. No joke, I saw it 19 times in theatres. I loved it so much.
Yes, younger mind takes longer to grasp. You should have watched it at the age of 18. You could have saved your time. 🌚

I much preferred the set up in the original Alien movies before the retcon. I loved the idea that humanity was taking it's first steps into space and finding something like a desolated galaxy, the sides involved dead by the weapons they resorted to, Great Filter-style. I liked the xenomorph as being like a metaphor for landmines on a cosmic/lovecraftian scale, as human's explored who knew what we might trigger in the dark corners of a post-apocalypic galaxy. So much potential in that idea now gone...
Forced oral penetration land mines? That cause you to go bye-byes from a violent pregnancy? And birth🎉O.o
The engineer that killed weyland was disgusted at him begging for more life and silencing the scientist shaw who was asking the right questions but was silenced with a muzzle to her c section. The engineers face was so understanding of shaws questions, that I’m convinced he understood her.
Yes he seemed both interested in Dr Shaw and had a sense of Pity for David, but he looked at Weyland actions and he indeed knew that Mankind was still a Rotten Apple
I too think like he got pissed that Shaw was silenced brutally by greedy men contending to be as superior as engineers.
7:05, that's right. We never got a chance to look at the culture of the Engineer homeworld.
Wee kinda did in the blue ray speciel edition i have it and ive see a few sights in this city :)
... I didn't think David created the Xenomorphs? I thought he simply followed the blue print and created a "type" or "varient" of Xenomorph? 🤔
Techno-Virus 757 This would probably be the healthiest plot for the story
Of course he didn't create the Xenomorphs. 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
@@monkeymonk666 He definitely wasn't told wrong lol.
@@monkeymonk666 Not to mention that we see a form of the mechanical xenomorphs on the engineers temple walls.
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.
I agree we all expected that Dr Shaw would get us our Answers. But looking at David and Weyland and their Relationship and reason for Davids Creation and also why David wanted to Create is likely the same as why the Engineers created us.. which likely was because they could/test how Great they are. And/or to serve some Function
Man… I was really hoping we’d follow Shaw and David :( it felt like a gut punch … all too familiar. Rip newt & hicks
The first of the movies gave you more of a sense of “awe” and “curiosity” toward this potential human origins story. The second didn’t have that for me. It was more of a look into the bio weaponry David harnessed and him becoming a “god”. “In order to create, one must first destroy”
This is one of the most legitimately possible and believable movie involving extraterrestrial life. Not some alien instantly speaking English.
They do the instant English thing because it’s easier from a narrative perspective and easier for audiences to digest

This video really made me appreciate Prometheus and Covenant for what they do for the series.
I still think they’re very good movies, especially Covenant which to me was a really great watch. Both are pretty fascinating for how they explain the original Alien films too
I feel like some of the horror of Alien was not knowing anything about where the Xenomorphs or Face-Huggers had come from. The more Alien (or Alien related) movies we get, the further away from horror it becomes. Kinda makes me worried for the future of the franchise.
So….you’re feeling Alienated?
8:00, David: Big things have small beginnings.
Lol, the engineers are like that 1 friend who hasn't played the game in ages, and comes back to carry you when somebody else challenged you to a 2v2.
maybe in engineer society only engineers are allowed to create life
and thats why the engineer is looking in disgust at david

What if that engineer that we think sacrifice him self for the creation of the human race, was actually sentenced to death and he created us by accident.
Now,that's a good question.
No its not not canon
6:54 that's why no
the engineers held the xenomorph in high esteem because they used its blood to save their species, and thats why their pressure suits look like the xenomorph. but they ran out of its actuall blood a loooong time ago and theyve been simulating it with a techno-organic substitute. the big engineer head in prometheus was a tribute to the first engineer to have been facehugged. this is all stuff you can find out from the original script.
In one of the films, Prometheus (I think), I remember the engineers sent someone to earth about 2000 years ago to teach them about peace and stop the violence...but humans killed him. After that they decided to wipe out their creation. I actually thought that was a good plot device which is why I remembered it.
We want more Engineers. The Prometheus story and start was great.
I love the backstory of the engineers, it is fascinating and leads to us asking our own existential questions,
Amazing Video Niat! Keep up th great work!

I love the topic of everything Alien and can't wait to see the final installment to the greatest film franchise ever created!
engineers were 9 to 10 feet? they were playing with the wrong rockets
The actor who played the Engineer was a basketball player Im pretty sure
I have come to believe there are 6 types of engineers. Each shaped by their cast Elder. The black goo in the vials is hostile as when properly armed the canisters explode open, causing the goo to become agitated/hostile. At some point one or more of the factions had a disagreement on how to deal with the human population and they were sabotaged
I hope after all this time your a bit smarter
Alien Covenant is one of my biggest Disappointment.

Man I really enjoy the mythology behind the Engineers.
Here's an important weakness in the plot of Prometheus that needs explanation: the cave paintings on Earth all give the location of the "military installation" planet, and not the Engineer homeworld or some other place. Why is this? Did military installation planet really have a different purpose somehow? Why would the Engineers direct humanity there?
They told them not to go there. May be some engineers didn't agree with killing all humanity

Ridley destroyed the xenomorph mythos by forcing David into the role or creator.
What made them so scary were the things that were unknown about them.
Aliens introducing the Queen and Warrior class made it clear that they could come in any form, and further emphasized the threat they posed.
Having them now be nothing more then a cyborgs pet project has made them as lame and pathetic as an experiment gone awry.
Except David did not create them. He was doing his on experiments on them but considering in Prometheus they go into the room with the canisters and there is a relief etched into the wall clearly showing a Xenomorph they obviously already existed.
Ridley's own words, were that he wanted to have David be the creator of the original Alien xenomorph.
As the xenos carry over various physical characteristics from host to host, it could be surmised that it took generations of different host species to look the way they did in the original movies.
Yet, even tho Prometheus clearly showed a distinctive looking xeno at the end. David somehow managed to create a strain that looked a lot like the original xenos even tho they were using the same species of host as the one from Prometheus.
Mathew Poole in other words Scott had no idea what he was doing
Yet after the original film that unknown element was ruined by having about 50 Xenos in the movie. The thing that made them so scary was that you barely saw it, knew nothing about it etc. Only after Aliens do we learn more about them. They haven't been scary since Aliens lol.
@@soul_vicex
So to you, its plausible that a ship containing hundreds of eggs would only ever infect 1 host?
Alien was a claustrophobic horror.
Aliens was a run and gun action movie.
Despite the difference in genera, the menacing effect of the xenomorph was not lost.
The only difference was that instead of a solitary game of hide and heel, we got to see the effect of a plant wide infestation.
We still knew little to nothing about them. Yes we saw were the original eggs would have come from, but that was it.
It took the cowardly more stealthy xeno from alien, and introduced us to its more aggressive and confrontational warrior cousin.
Again, nothing else was reveal, questions were left answered. All we knew is that xenos were more of a threat then initially thought.
I always thought the engineers that David destroyed in Covenant were the same as the ones in Prometheus, and the reason they looked more like us was because the filmmakers didn't want to go to the effort and expense of all the make-up that was necessary for hundreds of people.
So have I been wrong all this time? They were supposed to look less like the engineers from Prometheus?
They were the same it was confirmed by Ridley.
Well just like humans they all have unique looks
@@red0guy are they? When did he say that? I swear it was confirmed they’re a sub species
Prometheus was so good, the vibe it had, covenant I enjoyed but not as much , it seemed to lack direction
JapaneseGiant Lizard1234 I wanted to see more engineers, David, and Shaw, and less prototype aliens against a crew.
If we consider the AVP and alien timelines, which I know Ridley didnt direct besides first alien, then it shows the predators visiting earth sometime in the past. 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.
Just think of the Engineers as The Annunaki from the summerian ages and the movie becomes immediately interesting and makes sense
Keep up the awesome work my friend :) And could you cover the robot from Wall- e?
I guess you could say the engineers tried to abort us 😂
A very late-term abortion lol
A genocidal abortion, at that.
00:09 Ever notice the Engineers body suit looks like its made of Xenomorph skins? Like a Gothic futuristic Xenomorph leather body armor suit thing, would make sense to make armor out of their hides, since its acid proof....js
Imagine having to team up with a predator, fighting Aliens and Engineers. A brotherhood forged in galactic blood 🤝
I had heard somewhere (I feel that it was by Ridley Scott himself) that the Engineers in the Prometheus movie are actually a splinter faction of Engineers that were disgusted by the creations of the other factions of the species and this why in Covenant we see such different Engineers and they seem sorta happy to see a ship of theirs coming back because to them it means that their brethren are returning home and accepting their pacifist way of life.
Also relating to a comic book, the Engineers are several times stronger than Predators.
Damn, what about xenomorphs?
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.
Yes I think David found their designs and adjusted them.
I love your narrations, you could make anything interesting
I agree 😄 his voice and diction is such a treat! 😊
Great video FilmComicsExplained :]
Man I can't stress enough how fucking good Prometheus is, never have I ever had such a will to know the lore of a film like this. 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
Sooo... The engineers is just some mad scientist who wreck their own planet?
Pretty much. Doesn't matter how advanced you can get failure will always happen
Aaron Rodriguez failure is always bound to happen when a species becomes very advanced
I have not watched a single one of these because they seem convoluted. But I can't help but wonder about the story. Super intriguing. I love channels like these that explain it well. I don't wanna waste time with the movies since it seems like they're a mess.
i don’t know why but i see the engineer face like an handsome version of squidward
This is my all time favorite night time channel. This dude helped me realize it’s ok to like hokey movies. Not to mention he’s got a relaxing voice.
duuuuude, you got the perfect voice for storytelling :DDD!!!
"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.
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.

Glossed over the fact the ship on lv426 was there a long time before David created his xenomorph
"Mundus gubernavi" actually means: "I governed/ruled the world."
I'm hoping it turns out xenos are older and more mysterious and are the source of the black goo and David just came full circle with an inferior strain and we get our proto/xeno Dule.
How can such great ideas result in such disapointing prequels...
My money is on forced studio intervention & lack of understanding of its properties,lore & fans intelligence for higher comcepts.
I thought it was great
"Hey people, Kroft is here..."
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.
I never got why they created humanity only to get pissy afterwards.
You are a perfect example, dumb and we suck
Because humans created anime...And Nuclear Bombs.
Humanity has a shit attitude they think they are god. Just like Weyland. Also Weyland thought that he was a god by creating David. But he was just a false corporate god.
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!
Interesting.
I suggest they add other advance aliens(other than engineers) who also came to earth and spread animal 🧬 dna.
Humans share 50% of our DNA with bananas. With chimpanzees, it's 99%. Makes sense that our DNA would so closely match with the Engineers' because there's only so many ways to match up base pairs.
Kind of makes me think of the Annunaki.
