he's openly an asshole

youtube.com/watch?v=XeMVrnYNwus

>And then I was alone again
>I learned of their ways
>And awaited our arrival

Two possiblities;
A) David's mission prerogative to find new life is still a go
B) When he learned of their ways, maybe he felt a justified reason in destroying them

Really hope it's the latter, since the former would make all the cute things he said about Shaw a lie.

you really this dumb?

Why did Shaw fixed him and then went to sleep while the killer droid had complete control of everything? Including her?

>"One of our ships assigned to carry bioweapons showed up unannounced without it's crew, should we let them in?"
>"Sure, what's the worst that could happen?"

why did shaw fix him when he tried to impregnate her with an alien?

"Hey we should make this big ass docking thing right in the middle of our city so that if someone ever wanted to park a ship and drop weapons on us, they could."

Do Engineers not have social conflict?

>1,000 years late too

Fuck you fascist. Maybe, you know, being an advanced society, they realized how fucking racist and sexist a close boarder society is?

That's actually some +A cinematography. Pretty awe-inspiring.

I was actually looking forward to Shaw, David, and the engineers plotline but looks like they will be in a fraction of the movie.

>boarder

>This is payback for the white genocide, schlomo!

Is david /ourguy/

>borders
>around a planet

>engineers wanting to interact with humans
Did you miss the part in Promethus where the engineer literally attack everyone after waking up and immediately resumed his mission of bombing Earth?

Whatever those ships were tasked with in Prometheus, it was of extreme importance for the Engineers, as evidence by their joy of seeing a ship a thousand years old make a return. That's most likely why they let them in so easily. David could have easily fooled them from the comms, and considering their excitement, they seemed to be pretty desperate.

I'm of the impression that whatever they intended to make out of the humans, it was to benefit Engineer lives. That's mostly likely why David bombs the fuck out of them. It's doing unto them what they intended to do to humans.
>Look on my works, you mighty, and despair

Didn't he feel like the virus/alien was a perfect creation or something? He could very well just be replacing what he finds to be inferior beings with his idea of perfect.

Does he turn Shaw into the first alien egg, as Scott originally envisioned?

Long journey?

Did you fags even see the movie?

He's angry at humans and the engineers for building him just for shits and giggles. He's Prometheus, he wants to kill God.

>unannounced plane enters airspace in 21st century
>fighters scrambled
>military escort to a landing zone if it complies, shot down if not

>damaged bioweapon ship shows up without a crew on highly advanced alien planet
>entire population of the city empties out to crowd underneath it

>team entering unknown environment in 21st century
>all precautions taken
>if deadly/unknown pathogens are a risk, personnel are deployed in full hazmat gear

>highly advanced future human expedition lands on alien planet
>Are those trees? Better roll up my sleeves and take nothing outside the ship with me but a shitty gas mask

It's going to be just like Prometheus. Visually kino, but with horrible writing.

David wants to be human, not a mere replica. He believes that his own creation, and humanity's creation through the engineers, proves that the creation of life is the paragon virtue among sentient life.

It looks like planetary destruction because of our perspective, as humans. In reality, all it is is one form of life superseding another. For a truly neutral party, its a draw. David views the creatures as his own creation (whether true or false) their propagation is his perceived key to winning the crown of true humanity.

>literally does the right thing
>gets called an asshole
He redeemed himself, and Scott redeemed Prometheus with that fucking teaser. I am pumped!

I hope not but it's likely.
Damn. That's kinda cool. I always wondered why he was fucking around with the samples in prometheus. Does this imply that he created the xenomorph?

Did anyone else really like Prometheus and like the look of Covenant but kinda treat them separate to the first Alien film?
I really like them as science fiction films but not as an expansion on that story.

>Prologue is what Prometheus could have been without executive meddling and a rabid, screechy fanbase

I hope he isn't mad at Shaw.

After all that jive he said about her compassion, I hope he makes an exception for Noonoo.

>WHYYYYY

Interesting. Why do you think David puts out a distress call to the new crew? Aren't they also headed to the engineers planet.

Is this him wanting to show off his creation.

Prologue was great in and of itself but it's a bit disappointing that they're finally going to living advanced alien world in this franchise and blowing it up 2 seconds after getting there.

>Does this imply that he created the xenomorph?
indirectly, he knows the goo does weird shit and transforms life, he started using the goo and esting and fucking around to "see what happens". I believe he thinks he is creating stuff. In retrospect he is like a stupid ass script kiddie that found some premade tool and yells he is a hacker. I hope if this theory about why he is a huge asshole is true, he ends up realizing he isn't the creator of new life form, just some random element in the grand scheme of things.

Obviously the next part of his plan is to destroy earth. His ship is probably out of fuel, puts out distress call so some faggots show up, kill faggots, steal ship, take goo to Earth.

David just wants to make them pay for what they wanted to do to humans. He literally wants to protect Shaw from these fucking barbarian blad cunts.
>Let us meet them, David
>Hello, my name is Elizabeth Shaw
>*instantly gets raped, killed, and transformed into a mutated being by the space jockeys*

Prometheus is beautiful but let down by the shitty script.

>Does this imply that he created the xenomorph?
Indirectly, yes, but we saw that in Prometheus already. In this case, I'm guessing it's directly, since he unleashes to goo on the Engineers.
>Aren't they also headed to the engineers planet.
Covenant takes place centuries after the Prologue, doesn't it? Notice the environment in the trailers, how it's just jungle, where as here there's obvious signs of a great civilization.

All i can think of when I look at that pic is "Look at me.. Look at me..... I am your creator now.

Nice. Pretty cool stuff. I'd like a little more depth like this.

...

what's Prometheus?

He was commanded to pursue that course of action by weyland. Now, he's a free man.

Yes, but I don't think it's as simple as your making it out to be.

He is utilizing a creation of the engineers to destroy/test them, and he himself is a creation of one of their creations (humans). His motives are tough to gauge based off that.

Do you think Shaw will wake up, or does she die in that pod?

It is as simple as that faggot. Prometheus stole fire from the gods, David stole Goo from the Engineers and used it against them.

she becomes the first alien egg

>cry because humans bully you for not having a soul
>prove them right by following creator's orders to a T

Does fassbender always play people like this (see Shame)

They modernized the scientists/crew a bit too much for my tastes. They act like they are on some kind of vacation in space instead of a ground breaking scientific expedition. To me it's like the difference between Jurrasic Park (serious dino shit) to Jurrasic Park 2 (fun and games with dinos).

David is a fucking robot...Is not someone else behind it with an agenda?

So he see him as a loyal "pet" that is just looking for a pat on the head?

Just FYI, these are parts of David speaking to SEPCOM (corporate earth police) about the mission failure. The film ends with him deciding, after killing off the remaining crew of the Covenant, to bring a small vial (hidden in his palm) of black goo to Earth and destroy all organic life as he sees himself as a god. He does this by shaking the hand of the officer interviewing him which starts the horrors on Earth, leading to the sequel likely about a human colony desperate to remain isolated. The epic twist is the planet Convenant lands on is in fact, the one the Protos (as seen in the trailer) inhabit, because they travel faster than light.

t. guy who worked on this piece of shit

Magneto, NO

>quoting the poem about Ozymandias
WE

>They act like they are on some kind of vacation in space instead of a ground breaking scientific expedition
almost like real scientists

does this deserve a serious response?
imdb.com/title/tt1446714/

Hmm, but Prometheus was created by the Gods...not created by a creation of the Gods. So your wrong. Your analogy would fit better if he was going after humanity with a sentient android race.

Also
>faggot
Rude.

Tell me more, Mark.

HE DID GO AFTER HUMANITY, HE FUCKING KILLED HIS ENTIRE CREW

SHUT UP

>lol, they smoke weed in space
That's not weed user or it's a photoshop.

I get that in this movies universe, weyland corp has pretty much made space travel/off world travel an affordable venture, but it's still treated a bit too childish by the people who are suppose to be serious. They just needed to tone it down a bit.

How could he have created the Xeno's when we see their fossilized eggs on LV-426?

with weyland dead, david no longer has anybody to obey

what did Shaw eat on the Juggernaut ship all this time (maybe over a year judging by her hair growth)?

Ridley FUCKED UP with Prometheus but this prologue shit man. OH MY FUCKING GOD! It is beautiful what he does to them. I love this.

he never obeyed Weyland, he literally got the engineer to kill him

we will see, i think there is another movie that connects the prequels to alien directly

he didnt persuade the engineer tho, he translated word for word what weyland said

she had a duffel bag full of space boyardee

No, he worded it in a way to piss off the engineer, not to mention he already expressed hatred towards Weyland and humans in general prior to that

>but Prometheus was created by the Gods
He was a Titan that allied with the Olympians (Gods) against the other Titans during the Titanomachy. And because of that he was spared from being thrown into the pit of Tartarus with the rest of his kin.

So if he was created by anything it was when his Titan father Iapetus stuck his BTC in his Titan mother Clymene.
The only primordial deities that were really created out of nothing (Chaos) were Gaia, Erebus and Nyx since eventhough Uranus and Pontus would become husbands of Gaia, they werestill her offspring.

which means Gaia was an ancient primordial trap

oh god I thought I was in the truman thread and wondered why everything looked weird

variety.com/2017/film/news/alien-awakening-next-alien-movie-ridley-scott-1202011249/

if he actually does it like that, he's gone full retard.

Yeah, you get the impression in the original Alien that space travel is extremely resource intensive and dangerous. The way they react to landing the ship on an unknown planet is pretty appropriate, they're risking the entire ship. Its another reason I like the old CRTs and switches in the cockpit; it makes it feel like everything in the ship is built to be as rugged as possible because if anything breaks then you're fucked. The flashy holographic displays in the new ships make it feel like space travel is a bit too safe, and casual.

>the new ships make it feel like space travel is a bit too safe, and casual

Explained in universe by the fact that it's a luxury ship for Weyland and his daughter

Dude, did you see Prometheus? We went full retard a long time ago.

Fair enough.

But either way, David isn't Prometheus.

That could be just because the Alien ship was cargo transport or some shit. You could think of them like cars. Can't take a fully loaded semi out on some country gravel road without expecting problems.

It was a fine movie despite what retarded anons think

Ultimately, I think Prometheus just needed less add on characters. Sure, they work well for spare meat to throw at bad guys and as displays for gruesome deaths, but they ended up taking more away form the film than they gave.

So is the entire point of these movies to show some android guy kill literally everybody and just "dadadum" through life?

He gets almost all them niggas killed in prometheus, and now in this one he's going to kill the og's and humans? What the hell is his problem? What does he think will be left? Is he just going to zigzag through space for eternity and kill every unsuspecting being he happens upon? Is he trying to search for meaning? How can he possibly be stupid enough to think he's a god when somebody else could have done the exact shit that he did? He don't got no special powers er nuthin. He aint no god. Just an annoying rustbucket with an ego.

What a cunt lol

>fine

Bad script, characters and the pacing was poor. Visually stunning though.

Cool.

no he didn't. weyland's hubris pissed off the engineer.

> Weyland: look at me, i'm a creeeator! you and me, we da same!

> Engineer: time to die arrogant human scum ;)

I thought he was pissed off at the terrible makeup ah-hiyooooo

Tbqh, I hope it plays out like this:

>scenes from the trailer are just the intro
>drops goo
>engineers retaliate by immediately destroying his ship; him and Shaw die
>time goes by, the next ship from Earth arrives
>planet is complete ghost town
>humans investigate
>crazy alien/engineer goo things fuck their shit up
>humans try not to die and get the fuck off the planet alive
>of course, one survivor unwittingly leaves with an alien baby

>What the hell is his problem?

inferiority complex. he wants to show that he is greater than his creators, and his creators' creators.

why is it called "Covenant"? a covenant is an agreement/pact usually between God and humans, right?

this. everything on Nostromo wanted to kill them. Prometheus looked like a faggot ride. I blame jews for this.

Because it sounds cool, bro. They don't give a shit about the meanings of words anymore.

How many fucking times has Hollywood used "Requiem".

what's the deal with the giant heads?

Why did any of the characters in Prometheus do the incredibly stupid things they did?

Because of Lindelof's rewrite.

Spaight's original draft wasn't much of an improvement tbqh famalam.

>I LEARNED TO THINK IN TRINARY

But yes, funny how the blonde ends up fucking the negroid captain when a Jew gets involved.

All racial politics aside, this part of the film was so out of left field. Was there any point to it?

No, he was a droid. Robots are autistic.

>It's a david turns all the engineers into xenomorphs so we dont have to write anything other than a 3 hour scooby doo chase scene with goofy scientists episode

fuck you

The implied sex you mean? It didn't fit at all, but it was hardly the only thing out of place. I thought Elba worked pretty well as the Captain, though the exposition his character gives was silly. Vickers was just plain boring; I think the reveal that she was the daughter of Weyland was supposed to be a big moment but nobody really cared because nobody had time to invest in the 30 fucking characters that movie seemed to have.

>I thought Elba worked pretty well as the Captain,
what? and when was he a captain? when was he in charge except for the suicide ride? He was shit captain

>in the end a woman and david will be on the escape pod carrying a xenomorph egg

>trinary

Elba just played the same nigger he always plays. In every movie.
Dude has no range.
