>In an interview with Collider (via IBT), Scott discussed the nature of Alien: Covenant, and why now is the right time to answer a question that has bothered fans since the original released over 30 years ago:
>“It shouldn’t have really ended, so we’ve come back with a very simple idea: Who made them? [Alien] was just about there it is; it exists. And this is what it is…
>So we’ve reinvented the idea of Alien, I think, which is that Covenant gets us a step closer to who and why was this thing designed to make human beings. And if you think it’s them [the Engineers], you’re dead wrong.”
Thats not an Alien apparently, and we will never know what the fuck it was
Robert Davis
>retconning a vital part of a classic movie so you can make some more jewbux
These are truly the end times.
Isaiah Jenkins
>I swear if he has David make the Aliens I am done cant be that unless they come out and say predator 2 and the avp movies are not cannon. aliens are an old race older than humans they might not have existed as we know them (the black one) because humans werent there for the facehuggers to turn humans into the iconic aliens they had to have at least existed before humans
>and we will never know what the fuck it was What's there to know? It's a xeno that burst out of an Engineer.
Levi Cruz
The plagueship found on LV-426 was ancient. The 20 foot tall jockey was fossilized.
If David made the xenomorphs this will be worse than black goo and midichlorians.
Brayden Martinez
that alien mutated into an alien mountain in the comic
Ethan Russell
It was the wheat all along!
Jaxson Cook
who even gives a shit about the alien mythology anymore? the mystery is what made the very first movie so cool, now it's all fucked up
William Ramirez
so noen of this shit matters at all anymore? Christ AVP has better linearity and is actually a more redeeming franchise at this point. There has not been a good Alien movie since 3, and even that was a stretch.
Jayden Morales
he's gone senile and crazy
Easton Young
>insists on pursuing the space jockey origin despite a pretty lukewarm interest in that story and fucks it all up >no gonna delve into the creature lore and will probably fuck that up too
Bishop is going to be next bros.
Jaxon Turner
...
Caleb Perry
Fucking this.
Oliver Evans
Thats called a Deacon
The Divine Engineers, who created the regular engineers also created the aliens
Gavin Mitchell
Just how "pre" was Prometheus?
Jayden Phillips
>There has not been a good Alien movie since 3, and even that was a stretch. Resurrection > 3 They're both shit though.
Brandon Richardson
I'm calling the Predators created them, with Predator of Suburbia coming in 2018, Ridley will not loose the opportunity to make some shekels
Eli Rivera
>Look it up >Its real >and theres a fucking predator and something from john carter
Wtf
Parker Smith
neither are as good as one or two, but Resurrection was utterly awful. Just Whedon showing he has no idea how much camp is too much camp.
Andrew Walker
It actually look more interesting than what we have now
Nathan Murphy
>who and why was this thing designed to make human beings
hes not talking about who made the alien, he literally says its about who made humans
Christian Ward
i hate comic books so fucking much goddamit
John Rogers
Ok bros, help me decide:
>go pay money to see this in the theater >spend the money on Alien:Isolation instead
What do?
Carter Perry
3 special edition is good.
Only held back by shitty CGi, luckily is less than 1 minute on screen.
Ayden Diaz
there able to get away with shit that wouldn't fly in other areas
Lucas Cooper
are we talking about that the Engineer didnt create the whole concept that the thing grows inside you and comes out, and has stages as it matures
Or that they didnt make the black goo that causes them to exist?
I feel like this was a throw away. the aliens could have existed before this, and this was just a variation that occurred here. hence the alien like mural earlier in the film
Noah Reed
I really don't care about another movie in the alien franchise. Prometheus was good because it was in the same franchise but took it to novel territories. I rea
Carson Smith
both the game is good and the movie no matter what is still a fucking new alien movie
Ethan Flores
who the fk is david again
Landon Gray
I hate Joss Whedon as much as the next guy but Resurrection is the kind of schlock that can be entertaining when you're smashed or with mates. Because 3 exist it underplays how bad Resurrection is because at that point nothing matters anyway.
3 was so insulting bad it makes me want to die. You cannot appreciate it in any way. It was bad on its own and it also fucked everything up.
Robert Lewis
Prometheusfags will defend this.
Samuel Ramirez
Hi James Cameron, any other movie to turn into mildless action shit?
Noah Torres
android from Prometheus
Brayden Johnson
ah yeah, Im not good with names
whats the reasoning behind it then? How wouldve he made them?
Brandon White
he didn't make them see
Lucas Williams
Yes yes, all very good, but what was Weyland Yutani's tax policy?
Robert Myers
14.7 % more on aliens
Angel Wood
>guys, uh, what do we do with this fanservicy piece of shit that shouldn't even exist in canon? I only attached it at the end for some extra shekels and didn't plan to actually use it >no worries senpai we'll just morph it into some stupidity with underpaid amateur comic book artists
Same. God damn I just hate the half-assed expanded universes in general.
>here's a shitty movie >fuck we didn't even had a sequel in mind but let's just cash in on it >in the meantime read all these novels, mobile games and shitty comics made by some uninterested art degree college drop outs just to know what the fuck is happening in the sequel
Worst offender is Disney with the new Star Wars. They removed fucking everything from previous SW EU and are now shoving shit back in with fucking novels. Like Finn being a buttbuddy with that traitor Stormtrooper.
Joseph Sanchez
>needing to plan months ahead for a trip to the movie theater
Get a job, faggot. Both of those things together will only cost you like $30
Nolan Walker
is that taxed at source?
Camden Hernandez
Alien Isolation is 6 bucks on steam most of the time. Try g2a or kinguin
Resurrection is a "so shitty it's fun" b-movie. Alien 3 is like getting kicked in the balls.
Adrian Nguyen
I just assumed he was buying on console
David Diaz
Here's what I'm not getting, aren't the xenos supposed to take DNA from their hosts?
In AVP Req we see the Predator Alien, in the toys you always see aliens like pic related....
It seems like the only truly consistent aspect to their nature are the queens and the facehuggers.
Justin Davis
Do people really play first person games on consoles? How the fuck can you aim on a joystick?
Liam Roberts
bull alien
Ian Thompson
>predator 2 and the avp movies are not cannon Theyre not and never were
Adam Williams
Agreed.
I wish I still had these magazines, but I remember reading after Aliens there was a bunch of Alien films planned.
Newt was going to take over from Ripley as the lead after Alien 3 or so, Earth would have been involved and a whole bunch of other shit I can't remember because it was like 30 years ago or something.
Killing Newt and Hicks off was a mistake and a real kick in the balls.
Jeremiah Kelly
>I swear if he has David make the Aliens I am done- 50 posts and 6 image replies shown.
makes sense, that's how Weyland-Yutani in the future knows about the xenomorphs and wants the Nostromo to bring one back
Blake Walker
>and theres a fucking predator and something from john carter So does this mean Predators exist in Alien universe? Didn't Ridley Scott hate AVP?
Aiden Cook
But they are in reality
Lucas Hernandez
xenos do take dna like you said to change there form the neomorph in the upcoming movie is probably the alien that existed before humans existed
Isaiah Wood
Yea my understanding too, the alien in the third one was a smaller faster thing wasn't it? Because it grew inside the dog no?
Michael Sanchez
...
Anthony Lee
After Prometheus I officially can't give a fuck about this franchise's canon. Also see for fuck's sake.
Logan Gonzalez
yes
Noah Scott
The facehuggers dont attack anything that isnt human, its only designed to latch onto humanoid faces, i dont know what your comics and gay toys are about
Hunter Taylor
>It's a the wrong Scott brother died episode
Ayden Brown
IS THAT MOTHERFUCKING BATMAN?
James Campbell
Yes, several super heros have fought aliens, including Green Lantern taking on a whole hive by himself.
Eli Evans
So this is capekino now?
Logan Jackson
Yes, but what a xenomorph born from a batman would look like?
Adrian Carter
Regular Xenomorph but with Batman mask.
Jonathan White
Except for the Dog in Aliens 3 right? Fuck off sperg lord.
Here's a snake Alien hybrid from a venom spitting cobra, that burrows underground, use's its tail to strike, spits venom acid, and has a wicked yellow/black/green color scheme.
Joseph Hernandez
the toys are not cannon but face huggers have always be able to latch onto other species other than humans
Thomas Evans
Since Batman is a human, a regular Xeno I guess?
Parker Diaz
It's really easy:
1. Facehugger inseminates living creature 2. Xenomorph baby grows inside living creature and uses some of its DNA 3. Xenomorph variant bursts out of creature
Humans as hosts produce the stuff we see in Alien 1, 2, 3 and 4 Dogs make little weird ones as seen in Alien 3 Engineers produce Deacons (maybe not canon): Predators -> Predalien (what a stupid name)
Connor Hughes
>a movie that isnt the original Alien
capeshit tier fanfiction tard
Owen Young
...
Ryder King
>it's a "Ridley Scott is a senile hack who has no idea what the fuck he is doing is likely making shit up as he goes along" episode
Prometheus was shit and this is looking to be mediocre at best, he's going full Lucas.
Hunter Cruz
Some of these variants were created by WY trying to weaponize the genome. For example.
Mantis can jump 90 feet, probably the fastest of all variants, but not very durable.
Mason Anderson
but the engineer in Prometheus wasn't inseminated by a facehugger
Henry Green
>Predalien they are canon theirs been one of them in movies, games, and comics
Carter Peterson
He does, and both him and Cameron ripped them apart.
Zachary Gutierrez
i kek'd
Cameron Mitchell
The deacon/squid is a prototype, not the actual thing. The facehugger was created as a biowep to wipe out humans, and only humans
Evan Gomez
Fuck you're right.
That blue squid facehugger thing is weird. Maybe it's a different species of the same genus (did I use that right)?
>theirs
Austin Hughes
I'll get stoned for spoiling but the aliens engineered the engineers as servile race.
Adrian Rivera
the alien was created by god, but human sins destroy it purity and black goo
Bentley Lee
Because it's not 1995 anymore you autist
Daniel Scott
fps on a pad are shit
Jayden Reyes
The Alien is a more evolved form of human being,
You think they are monsters devoid of thought when in fact they are just homo sapiens evolved to a tenfold.
John Morris
Did you just call me gay?
Levi Wilson
Calm down gramps they're fine
Anthony Smith
What is a neomorph?
Robert Cooper
A homo what now?
Gavin Campbell
*blocks your path*
Colton Kelly
We all homo for assbender
Adrian Hill
It's not even a shooter. It's not like you'll need to properly aim a gun at the xenomorph.
Ryder Jackson
Do not know. I can say it's two more films after this so we won't know much from this one either other than seeing what comes from the back, bursting its way.
Ian Miller
Where the fuck are you getting your info from? Because non of that was explained in any film
Alexander Gonzalez
Xenomorph isn't even the scariest thing in that game.
Kayden Jones

Owen Bell

Jonathan Ward
If that motherfucker streetches its arms and cries "mama" in a childish tone, I'm gonna scream at the theather.
Cameron Allen
i feel like their tail would come out of their head
