As the crew search for Oram, they gradually uncover David's activities on the planet: after landing on the Engineer homeworld with Shaw, David unleashed the "black goo", a bioweapon recovered during the Prometheus mission. This killed the Engineers and allowed David to experiment on local fauna by using the black goo to cross-breed them. The earliest xenomorphs came about after David experimented with a parasitic wasp that laid its eggs inside its prey; upon being born, the larvae ate the prey from the inside out. Elizabeth Shaw became the first victim of a facehugger, murdered by David in what David considers to be a necessary sacrifice.

With the ship safe, the crew decide to return to their original mission plan and re-enter stasis. As Walter puts them under one by one, crew member Daniels asks him if he will help her realise her dead husband's dream once they arrive on their new home world. However, Walter, whom Daniels previously confided in, does not understand this, and Daniels realises that she is talking to David, who has taken Walter's place. As Daniels enters cryosleep, David gains access to the colonists' cryosleep quarters where he regurgitates two facehugger embryos and leaves them with the sleeping colonists.

Lord Giger wouldn't have let this happen.

So David made the wheat? He was learning to control genetic engineering and to do that he turned a native plant into Earth wheat? I guess that makes sense. I feel like it's just going to bring up more questions than it answers though. Just like Prometheus. They'll never explain exactly what the fuck the black goo is or why it was on the other planet or why a fancy Real Doll from another planet is able to understand how to use it. It'll just be the catalyst to get David to stalk and kill some humans via the xenomorphs. I still want to know how David has the capacity to do all this but a human can't understand not to run sideways.

The planet that the movie is sets in is the engineer's homeworld. David managed to replicate xenomorph's DNA with existing DNA in the homeworld, although the xenomorphs produced are not perfect, grotisque and requires DNA of a compatible host (such as a human) to propagate. He was also busy exploring the fauna and animals of the Engineer's homeworld and that he was also fusing the black goo with select organisms (plant or animal) to produce new distinct species.

In the movie, the emrbyos are placed in a cryogenic drawer contaning a set of human emrbyos. Not all of the spaces were occupied as there were expired human embryos due to an accident earlier in the movie leaving vacant spots. David just placed the alien embryos in those vacant along with the human embryos. The alien embryos will grow into full sized xenomorphs.

>>82602073

Lol weyland industries does not know anything about what happened to the crew of prometheus. The new movie is about a group of colonists who were supposed to travel to their designated planet to habitate but changed course to the engineer's homeworld due to a random space related accident while traveling in cryosleep. Although the designated plaent that they were supposed to travel would require them to be in cryosleep for another 7 and a half years, which none of the crew would want, they opted to explore the engineer's homeworld instead as it was closer, more suitable with life and the time of travel is 4 and a half weeks. It's interesting to note that during their initial scan for a habitable planet, the engineer's homeworld was absent.

there's also some prequel novel by Alan Dean Foster, in addition to the novelization. that might've been what was meant by the "in-between" part, rather than an actual movie.

Personally, if I was WY, I would be way more interested in the black goo than the xenomorph. I would think that research into that shit would be way more useful as a weapon. It's basically the G-Virus.

The little girl dies? Come the fuck on. I kinda liked her.

David doesn't make any fucking sense now.

In Prometheus he's a loyal follower to Peter Weyland, and Peter Weyland is searching for immortality. He infects Holloway too see what this black goo does to people. He doesn't really fuck over the crew beyond that.

Killing Shaw and wanting to make Xenomorphs is just straight up dickery and he has no reason to do that. At least fucking over the Engineers kinda makes sense since they killed Weyland.

>>82602163

The xenomorphs are intelligent creatures which they do not receive much credit for, atleast to David which he considers as a perfect lifeforms. Xenomorphs are capable of sustaining a rational coexistence with another lifeform as long as you trust them and you regard them as your equal which if you fail, you'll fall into the prey category. In the movie, David was trying to establish a connection with a xenomorph which was standing in two legs, telling it to slowly breathe through its nostrils, and then momentarily afterwards, it was shot by another crew member. After this event, David turned against the crew.

I think xenomorphs can be tamed and thus non-hostile. Atleast that was David was trying to prove.

Probably in the new world, the full potential of the xenomorphs would be revealed. After all, they have not yet fully evolved, atleast to David's understanding.

>>82602361

It could be - and I'm reaching here, I haven't seen the movie nor do I trust Scott to employ intelligent writing - that David understood Weyland's motivation so well he also accepted it as his own. Weyland's mission was to gain immortality after he had already created life, to essentially become God. It's possible David also adopts this god complex, desperate to create the perfect organism since as an android he already basically has immortality.

Speaking of which, why didn't Weyland just have his mind and personality transferred to an android instead of flying across space and getting murdered by a giant albino?
