You could not know it because the studio did not let it be shown as it was planned. In fear of getting people angry on the movie, and more so cutting that part of that religious group of people from paying for the movie. It is still very much hinted even on the current cut by the quoted time caps, but not outright explained like it was planned. I actually loved many of the themes on prometheus, even if the movie had many failings, like the crews often very illogical actions. Covenant feels like it wont satisfy the people looking for science fiction or the ones looking for moody horror. Science fiction story wise it feels like they are running to a corner and I'm not liking how that corner is looking like.

Nope, that's just a fan theory because of the bombing Earth being planned some 2000 years before.

vladdx Which blows. It seems David could find out why in AC. Instead of killing their entire population.

If you look closely at the "engineers" David slaughters, they appear different than the one seen in _Prometheus_. Also their architecture is different and more primitive. Which makes me believe that the planet seen in _Covenant_ was not an engineer world at all, but like Earth, a planet where the engineers seeded life. That, or it was an engineer colony, not their homeworld.

I actually got that from my first viewing. What else do people think those holograms were?

Michael Myers was the epitome of pure evil but then it turned out that he was just bullied as a child and cut the ears off rats.

Cosmic Rogue The difference is that the first alien movie hints that they are engineered or at the very least used by another intelligent species for some purpose. The alien franchise raised actual curiosity and questions that could have been answered if given the proper respect the series deserved.

RisingVictor 1. Calm down 2. The actual application of the force is just space magic, also what is the difference between an energy field that permeates everything and magic? Same concept, I’m pretty sure that if you replaced every instance of someone saying "the force" in Star Wars with "magic" the films would still work.

David: covenant

There were murals of xenomorphs in the "big head room" of Prometheus. Suggesting that they werent "engineered"

A mad scientist trying to create the perfect organism... like Frankenstein? Ever see an old copy of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' with the full book title? "Frankenstein : The Modern Prometheus" . Weyland came up with a new type of sentient being, David Shaw tried to reanimate a dead head with a jolt of electricity David harvested Shaw's organs to adapt the Xenos. The entire lab on LV 223 was a bioweapons lab to breed Xenos, with 9ft tall albino _Igor_ going to Earth every few centuries to pick up fresh warm bodies as raw material for the lab. These films were 'Frankenstein' in space. Then David is quoting 'Ozymandias' which was published the same month as Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' and written by her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley .

Studio can't forget the alien. Y'know, because of brand recognition, & money.

The xenomorph being the failed science experiment of a robot with a god complex, accidentally let loose on the galaxy, because the robot doesn't know how to recycle; is a way better story than what we got.

having him finally create the alien at the very end of the final film would be great

@@Wabajak13 I haven't watched Covenant but Prometheus had the potential to be a franchise by its own right. With a more refined script with less idiocy by certain characters it could have been a much better movie

Lol!

"Yeah, put your stick in his mouth" - my perverted thoughts

I fucking lost it when he said that and I heard some people behind me snickering too.

David was teaching his brother how to blow, while he was doing the fingering. Can't believe I just wrote that sentence.

I got up to use the bathroom during the movie, and I came back to that scene. I was pretty confused, and yet, oddly intrigued.

Yeah fair point lol

They wanted to kill them for attempting to create life of their own (hence the freakout when meeting David)

Because we made Prometheus and Covenant, that's why.

Because fuck you

Ridley Scott said in an interview: "Jesus was an engineer and we know how that ended. They did as well and that's why".

ORE NO WAIFU

It's called "theme" and just because this movie couldn't stick it doesn't mean that movies should determine character through beep-boop robot assembly line logic

"this movie was great because danny mcbride risks 2,000 lives because of the power of love!!!" hey,kid. nice emotional logic you have there but you're not as deep or smart as you try to appear.Youxre actually pathetically shallow in your attempt to seem nuanced lol

+thunder cleez - Uh... What about my post said I was trying to be deep, smart, or nuanced? I left a overly-simplistic comment/statement for a reason. This movie REALLY sucked, and I took one dumb example from the movie just to show how many fucks I gave about it.

that´s kind of a scary thing about space missions. if one couple forms, that can fuck up the very delicate balance for everyone. maybe i would even trust that "mother" ship artificial intelligence more than humans.

He smouldered.

His best performance yet imo :) Such a good actor!!

What did jaws do after moonraker?

Jaws was a young shark whose mother was killed by humans which gave it an intense hatred of all humans. Then it swam through toxic waste dumped into the ocean by evil corporations which gave it enormous size and strength and started attacking people. This causes humans to start attacking sharks more which causes other sharks to fight Jaws but Jaws beats them. Then the movie ends.

David Hasselhoff is definitely involved.

Basically lesbians

Can you blame him though?

Each new iteration is worse, though. Ripley was super hot, Shaw was alright and the Covenant girl was just ugly.

i wish your mom was a short haired lesbian!

i like them more

facts.

Yet Redlettermedia shat all over it and chose the most ridiculously worded comments and clips from the game to make their points seem better.

Yes, and no. Because no matter what "origin" is provided, we can continue to ask the same question everyone has been asking since the dawn of human consciousness. They can attempt to explain who created humans and who created the xenomorphs, but then we can ask who created the engineers? Origins within origins.

pluckyduck11y Who cares. That isn't important. Can't wait for Creature of the Black Lagoon origin story

The Xenomorphs don't need an origin story. They work better as a terrible thing that lurks in the depths of space, have a cruel indifference towards other lifeforms and it being something we don't understand why it would exists. Just making it a genetically engineered monster turns it into something mundane.

Exactly. The explanation of the mystery is never as interesting as the mystery, which is why most mystery stories save the reveal for the very end. Once you know the story, there's no tension anymore. And then to keep dragging it back AFTER the reveal... that'd be like the same killer in a "Murder She Wrote" episode returning over and over and doing the same thing every time. Horror, especially, depends of the 'fear of the unknown'. Having an explanation for these otherworldly monsters and making them more and more overcomplicated ruins the terrifying simplicity of them in the original film. Even in "Aliens" having so many of them running around and a Queen made the film a space action movie, not a suspenseful space thriller. The series has become akin to "Friday the 13th", where the aliens are now the slasher in the hockey mask. You know everything that's going to happen the instant the movie is announced and only the decreasing number of people still fascinated by the repetitious schlock and stupid characters being slaughtered one by one are coming back.

I disagree that it ruins anything, but if they absolutely wanted an origin explained then the least stupid would be this: It's a naturally evolved organism with a home planet where it actually just occupies an ecological niche and where it has its own set of natural enemies and prey. That's it. No ancient aliens, no creationist dumbassery, no religious crap. Just another species wreaking havoc after being removed from its natural habitat.

Plus the Xeno-dinner has gone completely cold and lumpy, then been reheated again..... *6 times in a row* 🤢

He literally just did that in Raised By Wolves which is the weirdest shit imagineable

@@funasylumstudio raised by wolves was a let down. At first it seemed like it was going to be philosophical and deep. But it devolved into nonsensical shlock

But the alien is how he got ppl to throw gold nugs into the production pouch

at this point, he would fail.

Steve Rudzinski But that could just be a Deacon maybe. It seems like the Xenomorphs basic features carry over between iterations so maybe a similar creature had already existed but David refined it into what we know

David himself claims this, and why do you believe him? He's delusional. Other engineers did create the xenomorph before David did.

I forget what part David might have explicitly claimed to have originated the xenomorphs. There was a lot of information in these two movies, Prometheus and Covenant. As far as I am concerned, it just seems like a lot of people making big presumptions, such as David wiping out all the engineers. Yes we see him lay waste to a city of engineers. How do we know that's all there are in the universe? People see David created eggs, but why should we assume he was the first to? Why is it not possible that the engineers could have experimented long before David and created similar if not the same eggs? People assuming so much is more of the problem than whatever issues there are with the movies.

Steve Rudzinski My theory and the likely scenario is as follows Through Prometheus we see that the black goo has the ability to manipulate organic beings into Xeno type bio weapons (deacon and mural). David has simply found a way to manipulate it to be more easily adapted to human hosts. He is tinkering with an already existing weapon. His xeno is different from the classic one which likely resulted from a different mean along a different, Likely engineer based design. The OG alien design was more in line with the warrior class engineers bio mechanical design they have infused with their own bodies. this combined with a human host resulted in the classic xeno we saw in the original alien. Basically David has created his own variant based on engineer bio tech but his is more organic because his template was Shaw and not a bio mechanical engineer.

You don't think the engineers created the xenomorph at one point?

jcaashby3 That was the best scene in the whole movie

@K OB it was a great scene no doubt visually but was a letdown as far as seeing live engineers on a planet.

So david created aliens, you admit it? Then why the fuck these aliens have fully functional and strong arms and legs at birth and it takes fucking seconds for facehugger to plant eggs into its victim? What happened to those aliens that are like snakes when they are born, and those hours it takes for facehugger to take off? Or maybe you wish to explain why the fuck computers in Alien use old ass equipment, while in covenant and prometheus they can create fucking holograms?

@movie fan I appreciate all your thoughts as a fan of the series but after watching Covenant I dont think Ridley or the writers have even thought that far or deep about the timeline or story. Some of the problems I had with this movie is when sequels dont follow there own rules set up by prior movies. Example is Alien 3.....a egg just showing up in the sleep chamber!! And ONE solo face hugger implanting Ripley with a queen AND implanting the dog. Never has that ever happened. BUT for the plot they made it happen. With covenant...we have the AIRBORNE goo....getting into 2 humans and thus spawning the white looking aliens from them in less then a hour I would assume (could be longer but seemed pretty fast in the movie)..but in Prometeus we see no character who are exposed to the same goo affected this way. Also the Alien goes from birth to FULL size very very fast....faster then we have ever seen in ANY Alien movie. That was very jarring. Especially the one that was on the ship at the end. And the one that was released on the ship. So now facehuggers can impregnate humans in seconds?? The guy with the burned face had a hugger attack him and from what I saw never even got his dick lol or whatever down his throat. But yet later on he has a Alien pop out of him (that we dont even SEE happen) Now correct me if im wrong and that Alien came from somewhere else? Maybe David put a hugger on him and it just got cut out so the identity of David is still secret?

So facehugger needs that much time to let the victim go? What the actual fuck are you saying? Why does it even need to hold so tight for so long, if all it takes is to just a freaking second? If this is a different type of Alien, where did "xenomorph" come from? David evolved it? So David willingly made aliens weaker? Because if you honestly think being a snake-like thing is more advantageous than having fully functioning limbs at birth, then you are a dumbass. Same applies if you think that growing to a full sized creature in a matter of minutes is less advantageous that taking hours to do so. And I will nitpick the shit out of the newer tech, because consistency is not just a fucking suggestion in storytelling. You and Scott should really learn that. Alien: Isolation could keep those old computers, why couldn't Scott? And why the hell did space jockey have those eggs, if David invented them? This is simply retarded. Oh, and let's not forget that bullshit you try to pass as a great idea, saying that it is okay for producers to say "Kane misjudged the fossilization", because he has to be a fucking inbred, to think that stone-like material and regular dead tissue is the same thing.

Hex Isme well in Covenant it's a little bit like Creepy Android VS Strong Female Character

Gloknox Creepy android is still also rapey. RE: Forced kissing scene(s).

Can't you just say that about every Alien movie? LOL

Hex Isme “strong” only fully applies to Ripley though haha. Maybe Short-Haired Female Character

Funny enough, the original design in Alien was meant to give the impression of a woman, with all the curves with the ability to forcefull penetrate, ie the creepy mouth, the tail, the chest burster. Sort of a nightmare for the sexually insecure, its what made it creepy besides the tension and structure. Geiger's designs really just cemented all those together in a great package.

Even the X-Files died when they focused too much on black goo. That should have been a lesson. Goo monsters belong in cheesy B-movies.

Ooze Shane. Ooze.

A lot of people forget their training when faced with an actual critical situation. It's a known phenomena.

But those decisions get overridden by studio management and turned into "improved and better" decisions.

It's because the plot has to happen.

Yeah, They shouldn't have wasted time looking for jonese.

That’s what was so fun about the original alien. They’re a bunch of space truckers trying to solve a problem together, acting like real people. Idk maybe scientists have a tendency to spazz out on scientific expeditions when shit starts to get scary

avnub you nailed it on the movie level, but in term of games I personally have got very good memories with "Alien Trilogy" (1996); "Alien: Resurrection" (2000) and "Aliens vs Predator" games, especially the first (released in 1999) and second one (2001) 👍 The 2010 sequel / reboot is kinda "so - so".

The cgi for Grand Moff Tarkin was pretty deep in the uncanny valley though, am I right guys?

Dalo Knight Trailers are made before the final edit so some of it gets cut. He also cut stuff out for KZfaq videos. The crew logs and the crew prologue should have been in the opening.

+Alex ThePrizeFish maybe deleted scenes when it comes out on Blu ray?

ridley Scott even said he made scenes for the trailer specifically also other companies are hired to make trailers and not the director

If you watch the film it's so obvious that the last portion is gutted. No tension whatsoever. I think probably studio pressure to get the runtime down so there can be more showings per day. There's so much promotional material that's not in the film. This and the (really good) shot of the xeno wall-jumping down the hallway.

Alien:THE DAVID CHRONICLES PART 2: 2 DAVID'S ARE DOUBLE TROUBLE IN PARADISE

shouldn't be an excuse, the building blocks for actual good movies are there, why should we settle for this multimillion dollar garbage

Why would they wear spacesuits? seems pointless if you know the planet you're on has oxygen. It was a little silly in Prometheus when they took off their helmets because they were in this giant alien temple with pods filled with leaky black goo and a clear sign that something had gone horribly wrong there, but in Covenant I thought it made sense. It was a planet that looked just like Earth with the same atmosphere and they knew other people had survived there because of the transmission they got. The crew brought guns and protective clothing just in case, and that seems like reasonable enough precautions for the situation. Then again I'm not an astronaut, but neither are you. Also, isn't garbage a little harsh? I mean Transformers 2, Rings, the latest Mummy movie, THAT's garbage. A talented director making ambitious and well-made movies with some script problems and a few leaps in logic isn't what I'd call flat out "garbage." Maybe that's just me though.

+Pocketses McFlurry Because there's countless reasons why Oxygen alone doesn't mean it's ok. There exists many many pathogens ,microorganisms , germs etc which we have evolved resistances to. If you were visit another world you'd die in hours without a spacesuit. No scientist would be stupid enough to just walk around another world in clothes they brought from home. It's absolutely stupid, and there's zero defense against this.

Because we don't breathe pure Oxygen? Maybe the Oxygen on the planet your exploring is laced with other elements that would kill you like say the occasional Dimethyl Mercury vapor floating around? And because we assume that people in the future are familiar with Microbiology, you know, that shit we knew since the 1890's or so.

oh.

Alien: Covenant was suppose to be part 3 of a 4-6 movie series. Fox and Ridley skipped the 2nd movie that covered David and Shaw's story due to believing it would have fared worse than Alien: Covenant, due to fan backlash of Prometheus's lack of aspects that Alien movies have.

💯 agree..Seeing her blast off at the end of Prometheus I was well looking forward to the next one..

They should just give up They will NEVER replicate Signourney Weaver. And for a simple reason. Back in the 1980s when we were more advanced, having a female lead was normal and no biggie. That is why they were able to write Alien in a non-gender specific way. They wrote everything and then just cast whomever they liked in the roles. In this primitive, sexist society though, having a WAHMEN lead has to be a Big Deal, as if it has never happened before! And to mark this momentous occasion, that female lead has to be absurdly perfect. So she can have no weaknesses, everyone must love her and she can never be in any danger of dying at all. Unless killed off screen between movies I guess. And to double our chances of succeeding with this sexist writing, the male characters must be made extra stupid. ALL HAIL THE GREAT VAGINAH! And this is really why movies suck these days. Untalented, political fruitcakes write all the scripts.

@@Movie Crazed Yes Shaw was alright. But again mostly because all the characters around her were written as morons to make her look good. "Feminist" writing, 101 right there, and it is bad. Of course it is how they used to write roles for the bad male "action heroes" too. Like Sly in the awful Rambo series, where he was made to look amazing by enemies who never used cover. Or van Damme, Arnold or Segal. In fact my second name for this kind of writing is the "van Damme", because this is what he would always do as well. And it is of course the main reason why all his movies were shit and why anyone with an IQ above 50 don't remember a single one of them. And now it is why almost all current movies are shit. There is always some WAHMEN who gets the van Damme treatment in movies now, and it is still shit. It will never stop being shit.

Killing of Michael Biwhn's Hicks was such a wrong turn at the start of Alien 3, and the franchise has never recovered. I still enjoyed Alien 3, btw, but these last 2 have been such disappointments, and apparently written by dickheads.

Bro we're on the same page. If you haven't read the script for Prometheus you need to man. It explains so much more and it shows how David wasn't even translating everything the engineer said to Weyland, he was keeping stuff to himself. And it goes into Jesus Christ being an engineer and us killing him being the reason there's a whole sect of engineers that want to kill us and all this crazy stuff Apparently they even had a movie planned after Prometheus that was gonna be David and Shaw in a ship on their way to Alien: Covenant but that whole movie got cut because people didn't like that there were no aliens in Prometheus.

Honestly I wish the series had ended at 3, and if Ridley Scott wanted to have a cerebral Sci fi movie then just drop the relation to Alien. These movies are so much worse because illogical horror cliches and half-assed attempts at being scary don't mesh at all with the rest of the ideas.

pluckyduck11y I completely agree. I love the classic Xenomorph! I think I would have preferred them to have made Covenant more in the vein of Prometheus, focusing less on the classic "Aliens" and have kept the Neil Blomkamp idea for a proper full on Alien sequel as well. I think that, despite been very confusing, that MIGHT in some way have helped with this situation, aha

SIMPSONS DID IT!!

Explains why David is so crazy that was the premise of pandoram omg pandoram feels more like an alien movie than this actually I can't help but feel like pandoram was original and neat and Ridley Scott has become roger corman

I'm not an expert on sadists, but i think that they enjoy torturing. Only thing i enjoyed in this movie is the visuals (except xenomorphs) And i'm not in a mood for explaining why death of poorly set up characters is meaningless.

I get why seeing a faceplant moment in the middle of a tense horror setpiece would be funny. For me, though, it wasn't; it seemed like a hazard that could realistically happen in that situation. No, the part that made me burst out laughing (after I stopped ranting furiously about how stupid it was) was when the doctor/nurse grabbed a machine gun and shot the fuck out of the spaceship until it blew up.

That whole segment on the ship was holarious. Blood slip isn't even the first ,,what the fuck,, moment. When main character's husband suddenly bursts into flames my friend and i started laughing like hyenas. It was just so sudden and bloody unexpected considering he was in a cryo chamber.

It was footage they could use in every trailer but utterly pointless in the movie.

I agree it was not particularly exciting, and most likely the producers thought the movie needed it to bump up the action. But it is not entirely pointless. It helps us understand why the humans trusted David. Remember they had become distrustful of him. But by helping the humans handle that last xenomorph, they truly believed it was Walter. While it was pretty obvious to me and probably most viewers that David finally defeated Walter, the humans didn't know.

The shower scene was a homage of a deleted scene from the original movie. Check out Lambert rape scene, it's stupid and it doesn't make sense so they removed it.

Loool

It get's slightly better too. Back to the Future was a joint venture for Robert Zemeckis with Bob Gale, and Bob Gale also has no interest in rebooting or making more movies for Back to the Future. So even if Zemeckis randomly dies, we'd still have Bob Gale holding the fort.

True and Zemeckis has also said that both his and Gale's wills state that no BTTF sequels or remakes are to be made after they die. So in theory it will never happen. I'm just assuming that one day Universal will figure out a way to get around it. So BTTF might still get ruined, it just won't come easy or soon.

Well he stopped because the third film sucked big time

Did you not watch the 3rd back to the future movie?

George Miller is in his 70's and Mad Max: Fury Road was fucking awesome.

They didn't "fuck up" the Alien origin because there was no official Alien origin before Covenant was made. Nothing but a bunch of stupid fan theories and comic books that say the Engineer is some giant elephant man.

Dan O'Bannon is the true creator of Alien along with Giger.

I seriously think Ridley Scott is senile. Anyone that thinks an origin story for the Xenomorph is a good idea is not all there.

TheSmashingTesticles That's just it though, the lack of an origin story for the space jockey, xenos, etc. is part of the horror. It is the vast unknown of space looking back at you, raising more questions than answers. Explaining it ruins the mystery that was a part of the cosmic horror element of the original film. Did you watch the movie?

It's a mediocre movie but... the "origin" is "unacceptable"? 1) It should have no impact on your enjoyment of the earlier movies and 2) your "acceptance" means nothing at all

Fuck you, Rick Berman

I suppose i don't see it as dumb. Or crazy. Maybe myopic, sure. But mostly it's an evolution of her character, and an erosion of her faith leading to Nihilism. It's kind of a Nietzsche-esque progression maybe. She's excited to meet her creators, then her questions shift to "Why do you hate us? What'd we do wrong?" Then while being strangled face to face with the cold, vengeful visage of her creator she kills him by opening up the door and releasing her child in an act of self preservation. She just found out her gods want her dead. That they want the whole human race dead. And now she knows that they can be killed. That she can kill her god. Then she takes off in a ship stuffed to the brim with apocalyptic level bio-weapons. "I don't want to go back to where we came from. I want to go where they came from." Hmmm... Ultimately, i think "dumb" would be thinking you could have a pleasant chat over tea with an alien race that wants your whole species annihilated.

@@Scott.Sandifer It would have been interesting to see all of that play out.. instead we got a terrible sequel

Yes. Sadly they scrapped a whole movie that would have mostly just been David and Shaw on the ship going there. The original script of Prometheus and the scrapped stuff from that movie is pretty fucking awesome to me. It's really sad they cut out all the cool parts, like Jesus Christ being an Engineer, and us killing Jesus is the answer to Shaw's "Why do they want to kill us?". And the scrapped movie would have shown David and Shaw bonding (him still just being a head) and her slowly deciding to repair him and trust him because she's lonely, and then when he's whole again he would use her body to make the first xenomorphs.

And what's amazing? No one fucking cares because the series has become boring-as-shit garbage.

That planet was just their favorite hangout spot

Has intergalactic travel capabilities Doesn't even have own pants

They should upgrade to fixing Betamax

What is a DVD? Is that like a compact disc I keep hearing about? I didn't think those were available to the public yet.

Other than the docking platform I didn't see a single piece of technology on the inhabitants or in the city, the whole place was felt like a monastery.

It felt like Vulcan

i had the same thought, there were no guys that had a suit like the guy that ripped David's head off. no architecture that looked like Giger's work. this aint the place.

Been thinking the same thing for years, since Prometheus came out.
