Alien Covenant

What gave it away that David had killed Walther, and disguised himself as him?

1. When he tells the guy who had been attacked by a face hugger that he is fine. I think Walther would have been a bit more concerned in his diagnosis.

2. When he attempts to staple his face back together despite the fact that Walther is revealed not to have been able to learn how to perform tasks unfamiliar to him. Walther was not the crew medic, after all.

3. When he fails to respond immediately to the captain when an alien is discovered on board the ship.

how about when he was fucking smiling when daniels and danny mcbride was chasing down the last alien

When he picked up a knife during a bit of fistycuffs

>le 2001 referenz XD

David has a British accent.

Walter has a fake-sounding American accent.

There's that shot of the wind blowing up the hood of his jacket for a couple seconds that's a callback to his initial appearance in the wheat field.

I still don't get this film, if they wanted to tie Prometheus and this film into the main series then why did the facehugger gestate into a lil' alien instead of a chestburster? I know the film implies he now now has free reign and 2000 people to try breeding new types of alien with but that seems like a step backwards to me.

When his wounds didn't auto-repair but Walter had JUST shown that he could auto-repair.

When he wasn't bothered in the slightest about his waifu daniels getting potentially hurt by an alien.

What did he do to Walter exactly when he stabbed him with the flute? What did he implant in him?

It became obvious when I was not a fucking 5 year old incapable of seeing this contrived bullshit from a mile away

In the trash it goes, rest in shit Alien, hope this kills the franchise

The "twist" was so obvious (cutting away from the fight INSTANTLY gave it away) that I honestly thought they were going to reveal that Daniels knew all along and she would outsmart David in the end. Fuck this movie so hard and fuck Ridley apologists too.

He pulled a cord or poked his shutdown button, whatever works.

Who the fuck is Walther

It's okay, it's not like he's going to be making a sequel to Blade Runner or anythi-... Oh.

if you didn't know immediately that it was david when he emerged and it didn't cut back to showing walter's triumphant escape, i thoroughly envy your ability to still be manipulated by movies.

I cringed at that

A lot of things gave it away, I just really didn't think it that way so the twist surprised me.
For the whole movie I was thinking that Walter somehow staged the whole thing. He could start the solar charge shit exactly when the ship was vulnerable to the solar flares or whatever the fuck to pick up the signal and eliminate the alpha male captain so the new cuck captain would take his place and check the new planet out. I mean, he dismissed the fact that you can't foresee solar flares way too quickly, as if he was hiding something.

The moment they cut away from the fight as David grabbed the knife I thought it was dodgy. Then the shot of "Walter" with the cut face looking behind is when it confirmed it for me that it was in fact David.

Blade Runner 2049 is being directed by Denis Villeneuve. Ridley is just exec producing it.

The fact that it was an obvious twist for someone to put into a story, or that David was acting suspicious as fuck during the entire end sequence

That was so blatant I almost thought it was supposed to be a joke

They cut a scene after the fight where David stands up and an Alien gets right in his face.

It then leaves him alone because they both do the raised arm pose thing again as a call back to when it was born.

They ditched that in favour of the 'twist' which I am guessing was a reshoot.

They did however put a still from the scene out in their promotional material because they are con artists.

Sauce?

Here

When for no apparent reason, David decided to cut his hair to look like Walter.

This.

Right then and there. And it was terrible. Not a bad movie. But fuck, this was obvious as fuck.

>Walter has a fake-sounding American accent.

God damn that was horrible to listen to

Aliens > Alien > Alien: Covenant > Prometheus > Alien3 > A big ol steamy pile of poo > Alien: Resurrection

If the AVP films count then they're last.

Because of new technology. Chestbursters look silly as fuck now, so maybe Scott just wanted to skip that step altogether.

Don't the synthetics have a fucking barcode on their ass you can scan or something?

>Hey, not to disrespect you Walter, but you look exactly like the insane android that tried to kill us, so can I scan you before I let you put us in cryogenic pods and have us be completely at your mercy? Thanks

>Danny stabs David under the chin with her pendant
>David doesn't have a hole under the chin

Any cams of this shit yet? I just want to watch it to see how bad it is, tbhfam

This was pretty much my exact interpretation. It almost felt like they added that scene and what David said to Walter during the fight scene in to give the audience a sense of ambiguity about him. But from the other character's perspective it should have been a lot more obvious.

>Waifu reacts with horror as she realizes it's David
>He gives her a shit-eating smile

I was hoping he'd dramatically pull up his sleeve to show that he still had his right hand. Shit would have been hilarious.

Why did the entire population greet the spaceship as it arrived? Why were there no military procedures in place preventing a lost space ship with known WMDs on board to approach the planet/city?

We may look like a lesser species in terms of technology compared to them but even our primitive military's of the world wouldn't be so incompetent.

Maybe they were so advanced and powerful that they couldn't comprehend the idea of their own ships being hijacked.

Don't remember anyone picking up knife in 2001. Even then almost every space movie is going to have a 2001 reference, it's the most influential space movie of all time as well as one of the most influential in general

I think he tried to sever that chord of anal beads that has little lights inside the balls, those have been present in every Android who's head has been removed, it looks like the power source. One of them started to fall out, and the light went out. That was so scary, his whole body went into an emergency crisis mode, it reminded me of our fencer posture when we suffer catastrophic brain damage. I was so happy when he came back, but so sad that he lost.

>Blade Runner 2049 is being directed by Denis Villeneuve. Ridley is just exec producing it.
I really fucking hope this is true enough that the film is actually good

Lol not even close Alien 3 is better than Covenenant and Prometheus and AvP is better than Covenant Pls be bait

Yeah I noticed that too This whole movie is garbage

>Kuloshov effect

You assume David won, but you have no evidence.

Its when she is standing outside on their landing ship just after having killed the Xeno. David goes out to bring her back in, and his hood blows up on his head, just like the first jacket we saw David in. He also touches her on the shoulder, which is far too much of a human reaction. Walter never touched anyone to comfort them.

I think the REAL mystery of the Alien franchise is why Charlize Theron's character in Prometheus had a medbay that was calibrated for males in her chamber.
Was she...hiding "something" OwO

When the tiny cg xeno burst out of the captain, the whole audience burst into laughter. The girl in the row in front of me was talking about how cute it was and she wants for a pet.

It was Weyland's personal medbay, but it was in Vickers' quarters because Weyland officially wasn't on board. It's been five years user, you should've figured it out by now.

It was for Weyland you bellend

>yfw when Walter is still alive
>yfw when he is trapped on the planet with all of David's research and slowly goes crazy like
>Next film Daniel's kills David and we think all is good
>twist shows Walter has repaired the crashed Engi ship and is loading it up with eggs.

>Maybe they were so advanced and powerful that they couldn't comprehend the idea of their own ships being hijacked.
They say cuckolding is a thinkers fetish, too.

>Fassbender will never take the role of T.E. Lawrence to complete the Arabia trilogy

vickers is an android herself, thats why she could shove David in that scuffle they had. She needs no med bay.

This

>but that seems like a step backwards to me
because it literally was. David hadn't perfected the xenomorph

They literally zoomed in the fucking knife then cut to another scene abruptly, it fucking in your face

>2. When he attempts to staple his face back together despite the fact that Walther is revealed not to have been able to learn how to perform tasks unfamiliar to him. Walther was not the crew medic, after all.

it's quite a stretch to just assume that Walter wouldn't have medical skills, these androids are built to help in many different ways

Give Fassbender a fucking Oscar for this role! And Daniels was a generic Ripley with zero appeal. And holy shit Shaw's scene.

No way you fucking nigger

Aliens > Alien > Alien 3 > AvP > Alien: Covenant >>>>>>>>>>>>a steaming pile of ball shit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Alien: Resurrection >>>>>>>>>> Prometheus >>>> AvP2

>thats why she could shove David
it's not like he was going to knock her out...

I hope Danny McBride is in the next Alien movie. He was pretty good in Covenant.

>problem with the movie is writing
>so a movie with a different director could be good
how are the two things related, alien covenant has fantastic camerawork

>inb4 the next film is a rescue mission trying to find out what happened to the colonists

Why Alien: Resurrection so low ?

That body on the table who is it ?
Its not the captain.

That's the pilot from the landing ship

I'm going to kick your ass if you don't stop with this shit

>alien 3
>better than anything

user, your mom and I are getting a divorce.

>>>Joss Whedon

Does anyone know Jim Cameron's opinion on Covenant? I cannot rank the saga until his holiness JC shows us the way.

>wah wah muh theatrical cut
blade runner also had a shitty theatrical cut, it doesen't matter anymore

I was sure that was going to be a plot point. They even made it very clear we saw her stash that nail on her necklace. How did he conceal that?

You don't matter anymore which is why I'm leaving you with your mother.

What gave it away was the movie's predictability

Well, if you'd have put Aliens after Covenant, we'd be on par.

Sorry newfriends but prometheus is vastly superior to covenant. Covenant was 100% fanservice and had nothing going for it. And never before in a history of hollywood has every single plot twist in a movie relied on such human idiocy, incompetence and irresponsibility. 3 times during the movie audience started laughing at the stupidity of the space ship crew. There was approximately 15 minutes of decent footage, rest was quality and content wise identical to capeshit.

Did David's eggs need a female host to make a queen/eggs? The rapey scene in the room with scrolls kinda implied it

I was surprised by the twist desu, but that's probably cos I fell asleep in the first 20 minutes and wasn't really invested after waking up

haven't seen the AvP movies but I'd say it's Aliens>Alien>>Alien3>Covenant>Prometheus>>>>>>>>Resurrection

Resurrection is the only one I really didn't at least enjoy

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OBVIOUS GOD DAMN

>le praise the sun gesture
XDDD

I just assumed he needed human eggs as a base to work off of since that's what he had to work with with Shaw and that's what all his designs are based on
Or maybe he just wants to fuck her

Humans don't lay eggs dumbass.

>never laid an egg before

You're probably a virgin too.

No scar on his neck from the flute when he was stapling himself

Alien > Aliens > Covenant > Prometheus > Resurrection > dogshit > Alien 3.

>why did the facehugger gestate into a lil' alien instead of a chestburster?
Because it still isn't an actual Xeno yet, the formulae isn't complete and is lacking the bio-mechanical DNA (presumably from David somehow, however that shit will work).

Cryosleep makes people stupid.
It's the only way I can accept the behavior of the crew.

this scene was fantastic

Pride before fall.
Also, Pearl Harbour.

In that case why would they put the crew in cryosleep when the need to be ready right out the pods in case of an emergency?

It was pure shit.

Delet this

Cutting away from the fight should've been a dead giveaway to you. The '''''twist''''' was so predictable.

I believe the xenomorph from prometheus is the queen from Aliens. Since its cycle has been through both a human and engineer. While David's variant is made from humans only and possibly genetic material from the dead engineers, which would explain the resemblance but still make it flawed.

Humans are wasteful. Food and oxygen is valuable and scarce. You can save a lot of weight by having all the people sleeping. It's not like there's much to do during most of the multi-year/decade travel.

Just saw it today. It was good. Fuck you, no matter what you guys always bitch. My only gripe is that it abandoned the unsolved creation mysteries from Prometheus, but I did get some enjoyment seeing our creators fucking glasses (that canister death cloud...mmmm). But all in all it was a solid film

>a full scene for more unneeded exposition
Alien was so much better when some things were left to interpretation. Nothing in this film is mysterious. As soon as you wonder something, the answer gets spelled out for you in exposition.

Oh, look! There are two identical people. I wonder if they will switch by the end...!

Why do they only send 1 (One) replicant with each mission?

And yet everyone complained like whiny cucks when Prometheus did the exact opposite.

Literally impossible to please you fags.

>Engineer this, you albino fucking shits!

With how much david was quiping throughout the last act I'm surprised they didn't throw that line in.
