>They still don't wear helmets on alien planets >They're

Helmets doesnt works against a facehugger.

Have you forgot Brett from Alien, he had a helmet?

>>82718287
Too bad there aren't facehuggers in this movie until David engineered it and tried it near the end

You know, it could have been an actual plot point of why the facehugger is a better carrier than a aerobe strain, or why he designed the facehugger that way/why it mutated to be that way.

Or better yet, they could have said the planet they landed could have been an already terraformed lost colony of early years since it seems it's more possible to embark to explore deep space now. That would have fixed (sloppily) but somehow fixed why they're NOT wearing Hazmat suits or don't seem to feel the need for.

But no.

Normies don't like helmets.

This really irked me too.
Just land on a bizarre planet and go thrashing through the bush and vegetation without considering a single hazard.
The New Zealand native bush really broke it for me though.

>They still don't wear helmets on alien planets

I have been defending this movie but yeah I can't with this point. It was just too ridiculous for me.

Im sure Ridley is just fucking with the fans, I refuse to believe he's this dumb. The movie can still work almost the same if they wore helmets

>>82719260
he sorta trusted him. sorta.

"something to see?" line was creepy.

>>82718953
they should have left the planet the minute that woman commented on how there were no animal noises.

Fully autonomous space ship capable of faster than light travel in an age of androids still has to command a synthetic to carry out routine functions like deploying solar panels. Does so using a human voice over a loud speaker

>>82719440
>capable of faster than light travel
what? this has never happened in Alien.

Why didn't they shoot the rogue synth when they were escaping the building and saw them fighting?

He comes across like someone just walked up to him in a pub and said 'let's make movies, I'll pay, you direct!'.

Also it takes something like 70 years traveling at the speed of light just to reach the nearest star that isn't the sun

>>82719716
You missed the fact that that was the second person to slip on the same bloodstain.

I thought the original captain facing discrimination for being "a person of faith" in the far future whilst the gay and interracial couples aren't even given a second thought was far too clever for this shit-tier movie.

Best scene of the movie, the camerawork was incredible

who else guessed straight away that david replaced walter?

>>82720394

I'm dumb so not straight away
I clicked on when he ripped the plaster thing off the face of the gay guy who got facehugged

>>82720394
It couldn't have been anymore obvious.
Also predictable as soon as you see David in one piece and acting evil

>>82720275

Do you have some kind of disease where you stop reading sentences before they're completed?

>>82720394
I thought it was coming but then David helping them dispose of the alien threw me off. But then it came.

It's such a B-movie reveal. I loved it.

I left as soon as the credits rolled.
Was there another scare scene?

If there are no facehuggers until the end how do the backburster and mouthburster get inside the red shirts?

>>82720762
What are you talking about you fucking retard?

Ridley Scott very obviously totally had planned David all along, back in 79 when he released Alien he very clearly had a plan to come back and make 15 prequels about where the jockeys and eggs came from.

>>82720666
I don't know. I did too.

>>82721205
The matrix style fighting was fucking lame

>>82721187
That's on you man, the shitty white xenos not indiscriminately attacking everyone and everything was considered a flaw by David. This is why he smiles when one of the actual xenos attacks his face in the monitor.

Why would xenos kill people if they won't eat them?

>>82721434
Because David made them that way

I love all the justification given for the amount of crying over this brilliantly acted, directed and shot movie
Sure doesn't make Alien fans look like insufferable faggots or anything

>>82720394
tbqh i was thinking that walter killed David but then he realize that he was right so become the new synth villain and roast the survivors

Actually I talk with Ridley the last night and he says he did it because he wants to see how much these things makes you mad.

I gonna show your replies, he will sleep very happy tonight.

>>82718953
I thought the New Zealand bush made a lot of sense, considering this was the Engineers' homeworld. Presumably when they habitated Earth, they based it off their planet.

I heard that modern guns kill aliens and they evolve really fast.

What the fuck did Ridley do?

>>82723004
Anything post Alien 1 is not canon to Ridley since it's not "his" work.

fucking usher was doing some random shit near me near the end of the film and kind of ruined my concentration near the end of the film

so please help me with something i i think i missed

what tell did david give the girly that it was him and not walter when he was putting her in cryo sleep?

also

didnt walter take an embryo at the start of the film? he picked one out but did he replace it?

becasue later david is seen placing alien specimens in the same containment unit. which made me think maybe it was the same samples being put back but with an alien, maybe leading to more evidence that walter turned into david or some shit.

i dont understand why when they were escaping he has to crash into every structure in the vicinity

theres no explanation for it

the alien isnt distracting him particularly (it never enters the cockpit) theres no damage to the ships flight systems

If anyone needs proof Ridley is a hack just point to this scene and how bad a job he did of concealing this twist

>>82723525

>>kill alien on space ship scene was just running and quick shots

the pacing in the last scene was terrible, was expecting an alien remake, but it was rushed, and the stupid girly (i didn't even register her name) has no character arc

>some woman we dont know grieving for some man we dont know

Is there anything on a scale of that ginger faggot from Prometheus?

I was hoping that David would be the Xeno "King", like that he had tamed them, ordering them around.
That was the impression I got from the movie poster, I guess.
Alien: Awakening then?

>>82723483
I relate to this pure autism.

she asks "Walter" if he'll help her build her log cabin by the lake.

David wasn't around during that conversation and has no idea wtf she's talking about so he looks confused.

That's when she realises.

>didnt walter take an embryo at the start of the film? he picked one out but did he replace it?
he just checked it. he put it back.

>>82721526
He smiles and people already figured out the twist like 7 minutes earlier

>>82723987
>>82721526
I wish I could place a bet on this. I remember him not smiling and thought to myself "if he smiles then he's DEFINITELY David"... but never saw it.

>>82723801
my guess is that beard man was terrible pilot.
the rig was very heavy, remember them saying that they put a lot of plasma in the engines so it could get back.
also they did extend the crane that made it unstable.

>>82724038

its the ever so slight smirk, a subtle smug look, other times when it cuts back he looks more intrigued

>>82723911
>the pacing in the last scene was terrible
the editing and cinematography in this was dire. crushed blacks everywhere. pasty grey color palette. action takes place mostly at night. except for the generic ship design there was no visual panache at all.

the "action" is so rushed that it barely feels significant. she uses a harness and swings around a ship and uses a giant crane in the space of like two minutes and you're like "oh ok. that happened I guess."

>>82724122

ah yh you are right, there is a line that explains the crane instability now i that i think of it

>>82724122
>A ship that large with 2000 colonists on board

>Only one dropship on board

>>82719716
And that's what happens when you try to shoehorn action to drive your plot without taking realism into consideration.

>>82717865
just enjoy the ride, pleb

it's a good accidental b-movie

>>82724233

that crane capture didnt make sense within the lore

the crane moved around ever so slowly

the alien is quick and agile

i thought to myself, "that thing is too slow the to capture an alien"

>alien walks right into it

>facepalm

>>82721187

i thought walter was doing the xeno whispering...

>>82717865

Why is continuity so hard/impossible?! Shouldn't it make writing the thing a lot easier when you have a framework to work with? Not to mention, you get a better, more thematically consistent film.

David didn't create xenos. he created the black drone xeno.

the black goo can turn anything into a xeno and likely has done for thousands of years before Prometheus. You see a white xeno in Prometheus that comes out of an Engineer and was sourced from Shaw.

>>82717865
in the universe of Alien where interstellar travel is a casual thing, you're not going to be paranoid enough to wear helmets on a planet that has the EXACT SAME atmosphere as earth. And because of the beacon, they already knew that there was human life on that planet.

>>82724490
>>82724513
>>82724550
anyway we don't understand at all why they would have done some experiment on their own kind, and then worship the xeno.
This movie is an other blue balls simulator. It's like they are trolling us at this point. We get 0 fucking explanation about everything.

>>82724592
Even traveling on earth itself, people face infectious diseases that can kill entire populations.
I assume they are aware of the history on earth of native americans, europeans and the plague, and many more.

>>82724592

It on the same level of retardation as drinking water from some random lake in Africa you know nothing about. Would you?

>>82724657
>This movie is an other blue balls simulator.
you got that right. unlike literally everyone else here though I still enjoy the ride.

I like mythos. I also think David's character arc is really interesting. I explained more about this yesterday but there are lots of art + music references that point towards his grander ambitions.

>>82724424
Black Goo contained Xeno's DNA.

Engineers created Black Goo.

Therefore, Engineers knew about Xeno before David did.

David wanted to re-create the original Xeno, because Weyland wished him to create the perfect organism. Therefore, he reverse engineered Black Goo to create the original Xeno.

How hard is this?

>>82724782
>because Weyland wished him to create the perfect organism
he doesn't give a shit about Weyland. he's on his own power trip now. also kiss rape.

theres whole chunks of dialogue in the first alien film that deal with quarantine protocol

it seems extremely negligent of the crew to be so relaxed with regard to these considerations especially in the scene where they let a person obviously carrying an alein infection on board the drop ship

>>82724457
prometheus might be shit but i really enjoyed learning about the engineers.
>>82724477
brett wouldnt use jack shit unless he got that bonus.
>>82724550
from what i understand the black shit creates the neomorphs.
david said that even when infecting smaller animals the end result up the food chain would be a neomorph.
David showed jesus-guy that the black shit had altered an insect to infected larger animals. and we got to see different types of neomorph abomination skulls, probably animals that had been infected, but in the end a pure neomorph would emerge
what david did was to experiment, probably with different combinations to end up with our classic xenomorph.

>>82717865
Hey man. This is what you all wanted. More of the same. Now you got it. Enioy.

>>82724987
they made a biochemical weapon (goo) that acts like a virus and stored it in metal urns.

it mutates and replicates into organisms in hosts.

except when it comes to their own body where they apparently just disintegrate or turn into black statues. I don't think they really thought this through.

>>82721033
We knew that from Prometheus

>>82725143
So how could they have known about the xeno w/o humans???

>>82724424
Ridley Scott is a terrible director and hates the franchise.

Is it just me or does it feel that this movie needs a directors cut?
>trailer shows something exploding from shaws back when she is in the chair

>is Walter a secret asshole?

>>82725345
The lack of shaw's death or any of her scenes disappointed me greatly, as well as the lack of Walters death for some bullshit and badly done obvious twist

>>82725237
xenos can probably form without humans. We haven't seen the evolution tree to get there.

if the goo can infect a worm to get a xenosnake (Hammerpede), which in turn infects a host to get a xeno... it's likely the goo can infect anything and keep climbing up the food chain until it resembles a drone or neomorph.

here you can see David has pretty much sketched every type of known xenomorph and facehugger.

he also has a fully dissected egg.

I guess he studied Elizabeth's skeleton super hard too.

>>82725665
David was clearly acting alone when he arrived to that planet, so I thought Shaw was long dead/handcuffed by that point. No way she would have sanctioned such attack.

No idea why he hated the Engineers though. I thought he just felt like testing the Engineer weapons out of curiosity on some primitive planet he happened to find on the ship records.

When it was its own film I liked it a lot. Autistic robots were great, cheesy evil David reveal was satisfying. When no-charisma-what's-her-name-again was spouting 'MOTHERFUCKER' and doing what is now apparently xeno-protocol 101 (use a crane, burn them, lure them into an airlock) it sucked.

>>82725970
>he happened to find on the ship records.
fucking cheese fuckers didnt even include shit from the prolog into the movie.
if you didnt see that prolog you wouldnt know that david learned of their ways while traveling to the planet.

>movie does not explain why david did it.

that's not white son

do you think they will eventually get around to having a ayy burst from a android and make a robo alien?

So how did that derelict ancient engineer ship in alien 1 have lots of eggs on it if David created them?

>>82727250
she has her own prologue scene that explains what happened to her after Prometheus and before Covenant.

What happened with the Covenant's bonus situation?

This wasnt meant to be a twist. It was only a twist to the protagonist.

Is that in the film?

It was so out of place that I honestly thought it was a Hobbit that found them in some kind of freakish crossover.

Out of morbid curiosity I didn't leave the cinema, which now I see as a mistake, since the movie was terrible even or a bad movie.

I'm not even kidding. What a shitty movie this was.

just made me think of another

>>82720394

when backup captain wakes up from getting face hugged he mistakes david for walter, foreshadowing the later mistaken identity

desu i guess having the same actor play the droids pretty much set up this "plot twist"

its hardly much of a twist tho, given that its the sort of story line youd expect from something like sister sister, south park already did it

makes me wander what really did happen offscreen, there was clearly no way david could beat walter in a fight being his inferior

>>82727454

in the film its discussed that the virus thing only affects biological organisms, it would be a major shift away from this established concept if this happened

to be honest, the androids are a big enough menace without becoming hybridised, they already lack humanity which is a trait they have in common with the xeno.

isnt there a line in the film, in conversation between walter and david, where it is suggested that all android have nefarious clandestine role in their assigned crews. perhaps a droid is assigned to crews to carry out certain tasks that would be compromised by a persons humanity, this makes me further wander what happened after the droid fight

david has now been established as the biggest threat in the whole franchise, being the master of the titular menace and even being guilty of genocide

altho perhaps if david and the xeno are perfect, perhaps hybridisation from his point of view would be desirable

>>82725273
I think he is just too old and isnt into the script.

>>82725487
>until it resembles a dron
I think the black goo it's simply a sort of clay, to shape lifeforms.
It goes in overdrive as soon as it makes contact with another living organism and begins creating or altering it into a new one.

The "Angel" daecon from Prometheus was just a by product of experimentaiton with such clay.

Everything would make sense then but they arent as brilliant as I am.

Walter was too good for this sinful franchise, really the only one I truly cared for in the movie. I must admit it hit hard when Daniels found out David was posing as him because he didn't get the cabin thing

>I WASN'T CHOSEN TO BE CAPTAIN BECAUSE OF MUH FAITH

Why the fuck did they hire him then of he was such a concern?

If I was sending people in to space I'd want every single fucking crew member to be perfect and ready to assume command in the event of a crisis.

>>82720394
I was so disappointed in myself because I said straight away after they were fighting

"David has taken Walter's clothes"

Then I saw he missing hand and thought "huh, maybe not"

I was so annoyed that I got it right but then changed my mind because for some reason I couldn't see David cutting off his own hand.

>Let me do the fingering.

>>82728326
>This is when I knew the movie was shit, and there was absolutely nothing that could save it.
Personally, I found the moment where the person put two people into quarantine, left to go get a gun and then unlocked the quarantined section so she could go in and shoot things to be the tipping point.

>>82729780
I had the same thought when I first saw the missing hand, but later I realized the hand didn't look exactly the same. At least it looked to me like David's hand was lacking the burned-by-acid bits that Walter had

>>82724424
>>82729522

The black goo, the very existence of the xenomorphs, was created long in the ancient past by the engineers.

David did not create the xenomorphs himself; David and the rest of the Prometheus crew discovered the xenomorphs on the engineer ship. He and Shaw stole the engineer ship and drove to the engineers' planet - the planet in Alien Covenant.

After he killed all the engineers, David spent 10 years experimenting with and genetically modifying the black goo in order to create different breeds of xeno. He merely changed what he found; he did not create them.

riddley scott doesnt fucking remember what made the original movie so special, how mundane and incidental it would be.

Since that can't be done again, he basically just mixed some Blade Runner themes with some tacky teenage-level philosophy about life and religion. Meanwhile he explains what the Alien fucking is, defeating the purpose of it being an ALIEN, a monster you should not be able to understand.

Just make Alien about what it is, biomechanical dicks, sodomy and the devil. And take it away from senile riddley.

>>82735992
Alien was always meant to be a character drama

>>82736202
too bad horror movies cant have good characters anymore

>>82724858
Didn't the alien in 1 do just that at the end of the film? Those engines were hot from the escape from the nostromo and it was like oh, a lil hole to hide in, then gets blasted when ripley hits the switch?

>>82719539
Yes it has. Ripley had a kid at home that she was planning on returning to. The nostromo escape pod was lost in space for 60 years.
In aliens they lost contact with the colony, and by the time the colonial marines get there they find cocooned humans who havent been chestbursted yes, and more importantly newt is still a kid that hasn't aged since since we see her and her brother in the DC in the crawler when they discover the space jockey ship.

>>82721033

If you didnt see it coming then you've gotta have brain damage

Saw it coming as soon as David showed his zoology collection

The movie was fine but the fallout just elevates it for me.
So glad im not in the >tfw too dumb to understand a Ridley Scott movie camp

>>82738794
Just like star wars fans or any other thing with a big fanbase

>>82738794

Then how come that wasn't the case in Alien?

>>82738794

>>No David didnt create the Xeno's hes just using the knowledge he learnt from his years aboard the Engineer ship to reverse engineer them from the black goo.

Why even bother though?

As it stands the black goo by itself is deadly enough and releasing it effectively wipes out an entire ecosystem. You can't even walk around in that environment since goo particles will fuck you up from the inside.

And creating "the perfect organism" is retarded as well since the xenos just exist as eggs and predatory animals basically and nothing else.

Not only that but the goo>human>monster cycle is faster than the egg>human>xeno cycle too... so all his gene-dicking around did is diminish the potency of the weapon.

None of it makes any sense.

>>82738878
He was not trying to make the perfect weapon but what he considered to be the perfect organism. Maybe it was about how well it can survive as a species? He talked with his creator about inmortality and shit.

>>82717865
This movie has so many problems and what you listed isn't even the main ones

>>82718636

yea i really dont follow the jerk off over xenomorphs being the "perfect organism". the sentiment has been in the franchise since the first film, but none of them or most other alien media has portrayed the xenomorphs as anything other than extra mean ants

>>82739536
You can blame Cameron for that, while I love Aliens to death it did ruin the mystique of the xenomorph.
After all the original script for Alien had the xenomorph kill ripley and then sit down and finish writing the message home (Fox told Ridley to fuck off with that shit)
we got a faint level of this in the form of "they cut the power"

the question I wish Covenant would have answered instead of the xenomorphs origins was: Just how smart are xenomorphs? We've only ever seen them with a couple of months to learn the soroundings (so figuring that you can cut the power and use an elevator in that short timespan is actually rather impressive)

Can you imagine Xenomorph scientists reverse engineering how to build spaceships and stuff?

How long until the prequel sequel to this comes out? It really annoys me that Ridley didnt make that first.

I dont get how this movie has gotten many good reviews despite it having ZERO backstory about the Engineers when Prometheus at the end promised to explain about them.

Prometheus is a WAY BETTER movie than this

>>82721351
>the shitty white xenos not indiscriminately attacking everyone and everything was considered a flaw by David.

Are theaters holding movies back? Do you guys think that if movies were mainly accessible through an online service (IE Netflix), that it would allow for better storytelling through longer movies since people can watch whenever? Or are movies in general destined to be restrained by people who can only watch them in one sitting?

Sigourney definitely had her sides implode as she read the script.

This wouldn't be such a problem if the fucking movies ever addressed this issue but the just keep ignoring it as if we're supposed to forget that spring loaded muscle powered penis' can't punch through a solid steel shield.

>the shit with oram was so fucking retarded, makes no sense
>people complaining about the walter/david switch being obvious, yeah it was meant to dont know how anyone couldnt see it
>daniels should have known it was david

Holy shit the amount of scenes they filmed and didn't put in the movie. It's ridiculous. They better release the director's cut soon.

>>82744279
In the original movie Kane's helmet is melted so that the facehugger can get at him
Not sure how it works but clearly it can get past some thick plastic stuff to touch the sweet mouthpussy
I'd say it like, sweats acid or something like that but that's just a guess

>>82744225

at this point it's a marketing thing to do the director's cut after the theatrical one does its run

that way they can get extra cash later on and they have free insulation from criticism since nerds who would instinctively talk shit about the movie delay their criticism until they see the director's cut

win-win

>>82744298
also how the fuck did the spanish guy who got his face burnt, still get chest bursted when the face hugger was on him for a few seconds without him being unconscious

The prologue explains nothing, she fixes up David then goes into cryosleep en route to the engineers homeworld. During which time David turns into batshit Frankenstein and presumably kills Shaw to turn her into a xeno egg vector.

It shits on the promise shown at the end of Prometheus of shaw becoming the new series protagonist.

I finished the film with more unanswered questions into the lore of the series than when i entered.

Killing off Shaw was a mistake.

>>82717865
>It's more of a B-movie tier with high budget, kinda like Ghosts of Mars minus Ice Cube
Haven't seen Covenant, but this is a great description of Prometheus. An uninspired B-movie that wears makeup to look like a serious sci-fi movie - and, given that the people who made it had access to a lot more money that the makers of B-movies, hard to excuse.

>>82739356
>Literally a robot
Fixed 4 you

>>82744370
I think I've proven my point that the helmet critique is ridiculous when there's several other valid ones.

Why did they choose Daniels as the main protagonist instead of Dr Shaw is beyond me. Why establish a bunch of new characters we know nothing about when we have Shaw? It's a fucking franchise, people saw the previous films. They don't explain Darth Vader again in TFA and R:1.

This would be a much better movie if Shaw was hiding somewhere on the planet, sending a distress call the Covenant would pick up and they would send two a rescue crew for her and another science crew to investigate the ship from Prometheus. Shawn would tell the rescue crew all about David going crazy, the science crew would be in danger, Daniels in one crew, James Franco in another, she would want to save him etc.

>>82728825

The idea of the xenomorphs as bioweapons has never made sense to me. It's basically an animal - a tremendously dangerous one with some disease-like qualities, but still basically a super-dangerous version of a tiger. How could it possibly make a good weapon compared to, even, something like nukes much less weapons available to trans-human beings?

>>82745043
Daniels has less of an atrociously disformed face than the fingolian Shaw
but that doesn't explain why they gave her that grotesque mix of a bowl haircut and knit cap made of hair

>>82727383
Of course it is, it even has a Klan hood on.

>plebs hate prometheus

>>82743733
It's a Protomorph

>>82745079
Because the xenomorphs are organisms, the virus derived things are not. People often forget that viruses are not living creatures, the external expressions of the black goo are just organic machines. By incorporating a viable reproductive system, David changed a virus to a parasite, in other words, a machine to a life form. He created life.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the crazy old man Ridley indicate that his next Prometheus/Alien project was explaining the second chapter?

>>82745365
I think you're thinking about it wrong.

You got to realize this bioweapon meme came about in the 1980s and you need to understand the contextual culture that would create such a narrative device. Governments looking for the next troaping weapon to render their opponents arsenal null and void. It is generally assumed no one really wants to nuke. If that's the case we'd see one be used fairly regularly between nations and when has that happened? So this is the next best weapon verse a nuke. Also I can sell this dangerous thing to the government for a fat contract.

I kinda got of the rails but I think I explained my point.

>yfw David's ruse cruise

>>82727250
Just saw this movie today and parts of David's dialogue and motivation still baffles me.

1. So why exactly did David kill Shaw? If he cared for her so much to construct a memorial for her, why murder her so brutally?
2. Did David have sex with Shaw or not? At that point of the movie it won't be surprising if he did, but then why would he even ask Daniels whether he's imitating human copulation properly?
3. On that note, what's the significance of David mis-attributing Ozymandias to Byron?

So is David simply so idiosyncratic that his obsession with creation drove him to engineer a lifeform in his perferred image? And what is Shaw to him in all of this?

Do lorefags realize how retarded they are for expecting a developed lore from Scott AND hating James Cameron?
Cameron is one of you. He's an autist who still play with action figure. He's obsessed with lore when he makes a movie.

>>82728237
Normies wouldn't like that.

>>82745920
1. because he's evily naughty-naughty: grrrrrrr!
2. nah, he's a robosexual; also gay
3. Scott is a hack

Didnt understand how they killed the xenomorph that came out of Cudrup and what happenned to shaw, also the thing from prometheus and the other aliens are like an inferior xenomorph right? And why do the plants have aliens on them?? Some shit is unexplained..

>>82745920
>3. On that note, what's the significance of David mis-attributing Ozymandias to Byron?
maybe to show that david the creator of the creatures will ultimately be forgotten even if his creatures live on, although im not really sure, that part confused me

>>82745964
>implying Cameron even is sentient

>they still don't wear helmets

Goddammit, this was so fucking annoying in Prometheus. I don't care if you can breathe, it's a goddamn alien planet with weird alien bacteria.

I understand why they did it, because they wanted the audience to clearly see their faces, but it's still dumb.

>>82746064

Star Trek.

Shut up.

>>82745920
It's their way of "subtly" hinting that something was wrong with David. A properly-functioning machine wouldn't mis-remember things.

>>82746182
That makes sense, but we already knew that since Prometheus.

I enjoyed this movie.

The helmets issue was a bit of a plot hole and kind of annoying.

The colonisation has to continue even with mishaps. We still make Nuclear bombs and Nuclear plants knowing full well how dangerous they are, because science.

>commies in space
wew, lad

>>82745920
>why murder her so brutally

We don't know how he killed her.

>>82719260
David knew his curiosity would win out.

Curiosity kills the cat.

>>82745920
>1. So why exactly did David kill Shaw? If he cared for her so much to construct a memorial for her, why murder her so brutally?
She was the mother of his children. He was aping human behaviour and sentiment has he was programmed to do.

>2. Did David have sex with Shaw or not? At that point of the movie it won't be surprising if he did, but then why would he even ask Daniels whether he's imitating human copulation properly?
As above, he's designed to try and be like humans. He wants to be a real boy but at the same time sees humans as pitiful and worthy of extinction.

>3. On that note, what's the significance of David mis-attributing Ozymandias to Byron?
He's a flawed creation created by humans who are another flawed creation.

Point 3 effectively explains why the Engineer ripped Davids head off. Humans are the Engineers version of David. Creepy flawed things that need to be stopped before they create more creepy flawed things.

>not orbiting the planet for a few weeks observing the surface, atmosphere and potential landing sites

>>82718287
Sure, but in general wearing a helmet makes sense because you have no idea what kind of diseases are on this alien planet and we have no way of being immune to it.

>>82746513
Defo a plot hole.

>>82746261
It's been a while, but I don't remember David being all that "off", relatively speaking, in the last film. From what I remember, he was just following Weyland's insane directives.

Hope there's a clear rip or something soon, so I can watch both Prometheus and this back-to-back.

Are all the engineers dead now?

>>82746677
there sure ain't anyone better than a polish shit unclogger in the series, now

>>82746513
>wearing a helmet makes sense because you have no idea what kind of diseases are on this alien planet

Why are people obsessing over this?
his is not the Martian its a silly space flick about killer monsters on distant moons.
They don't wear helmets on Star Trek either but nobody cares

>>82746833
>They don't wear helmets on Star Trek either but nobody cares
nobody cares because star trek is just about gay commies in space
the 1979 Alien at least was rly good

>>82718287
>implying they even knew what happened to Prometheus
even here on earth people wear masks when entering old homes, why would it be so lax on a alien planet?

>>82746332
this movie was unsatisfying on so many levels

>neomorphs are fundamentally just a recoloured version of the black alien species, they dont seem to have much weaknesses or inferiority to the black one despite being "prototypes" of the final product

>despite both these aliens being predecessors to the OT aliens, they develop at near instant speeds, 10x faster than their evolutions--why?

>every human here is overtly emotional, retarded, forgettable except the main butch

>no exploration of the engineers (so do they have the same attitudes towards humans as the engineer that Shaw met? what was their motive for creating the black goo? why dont they have fucking airport security, cargo scanning or quarantine protocols? a fucking lost ship from hundreds/thousands of years ago mysteriously comes back and they just crowd around to welcome it?)

>what was David's motive? why is he like that?

Aliens being created by fucking david is such a shitty development, part of the beauty of Aliens is that they had a mystery and mystique to their origin, but now we know they are just the science fair project of an emo android

>>82746506
what a film that would be

>>82719973
>implying bloodstains stop being slippery after one person slips on it
>implying two people are incapable of making the same mistake
>implying the character wasn't extremely scared and panicky
>implying you'd be aware of slipping on blood when you're crewmate is having her face eaten by an alien

Jesus Christ you're a retard

>>82746921
I reckon the engineers David fucked up are remnants after the more technologically advanced engineers 'fell', and that they're greeting their 'gods' when the ship arrives

maybe

>>82747008
it's a joke of a scene. why are you defending it saying it is realistic? the pool was a bigger threat than the ayy lmaos

>>82746931
A boring one?

>>82723483
Another clue is that Walters hand is melted off leaving a rounded stump, but it is a clean cut when David replaces him.

>>82746669
It's hinted at in the dialogue between David and Walter.

Davids "tune" is a bit off and it is now cascading and the "whole symphony" is coming undone.

>>82747242
exactly

>>82747468
I said,
>in the last film

The first scene with non-decrepit Weyland and David is telling enough as is.

>Engineer Planet
>One city

>>82747100
It's just human error, would you be cool and collected in a situation like that? Also if she just shot it then the story would have been completely different

>>82747727
It could have been another race seeded by Engineers which hadn't evolved to create more cities, or it was a colony which never expanded.

>>82747242
They could have alluded to it though. Just a fucking black screen with "2 weeks later" and some staff banter about surveying the planet for the past 2 weeks or whatever.

>go see it yesterday
>like 30 people in the theatre
>everyone dead quiet
>movie ends and some dude shouts "FUCK RIDLEY SCOTT" real loud
>hear a few murmurs of agreement
fun night

>>82746506
>not just sending one David so he could check shit out
Seriously whats is even the point of humans in this Scottverse? Davjds are smarter and more competent. Just crew the ship with one or two Davids and you're set, why bring human crew?

>>82748003
>some dude shouts FUCK RIDLEY SCOTT
Fake. Cameron can afford his own movie theater.

>>82748037
>why bring human crew?
My guess is they're cheaper.

>>82748115
They seem pretty common, standard enough to put them in regular colonization ships or take on WY bug hunts
