elizabeth shaw was a complete fucking idiot in Prometheus and people are asking why david killed her irrational ass

David had all that time in the world to study the engineers history and culture so he understands what made them tick and all she wanted some bullshit meaning for her meaningless life even if he told her she could still want to meet them

FUCK THE HATERS DONT EVER KILL DAVID OFF BRING HIM BACK FOR THE NEXT 2 MOVIES
>>
how the hell did she rebuild him?
>>
>>83053853
Can someone tell me what the movie actually shows about what happened to her? All I know is that David ran experiments on her. Did she actually make an appearance?

Just lazered his head back onto his body.

>>83053918

No, only her corpse.
We see her in one of the promotionnal clips where she repairs David then go into hypersleep with David saying he will wakes her up when they arrive at destination

Did she forget that he killed her husband?
>>
>>83054270
I don't think she ever really figured it out, did she? There is that one scene where she says "the air might be contaminated because whatshisface inhaled something" and David says something like "trust me, he didn't", which is suspicious as hell but maybe not enough to make her think "yeah, she' killed him".

Also, why is somebody named "Elizabeth Shaw" completely incapable of speaking English properly?

she never knew although he hint at it not being the air

Oh well. I'm ok with that.
>>
>>83054110
Her mutilated corpse being covered in the same blanket makes me think that maybe she died in her cryo pod.

It'd be nice to get some clarity on how exactly she died to know where and how badly she fucked up.
>>
Makes me glad Ridley is not directing the new Bladerunner.

He's shitting on his own legacy.

>>83055202
Its similar looking so it may very possibly be a reference. The painting is done by Giger, so probably likely.

>>83054110

Maybe that's why the engineers wants to kill humans, because of how stupid we are.

She died because David used her to harvest Xenos, only logical explanation.

>>83053918

They show her dissected corpse on a table. Looks as though he might of used some sort of embalming thing on her.

After all that shit that went down, why in the EVER LOVING FUCK would she trust David enough to reattach his body?

No, but we do have computers on most US Navy ships.

1. She has no idea that David is malicious. She never figures out that he killed Holloway. As far as she knows, David just carries out orders and doesn't deliberately harm humans.

2. She's one of those "see the good in everyone" type of people.
>>
>>83054060
Ridley better fuck off with this every art piece of Giger is somehow for his faggot ass prequels.

>>83056491
Didn't she beg David to help her when her womb buster was about to get out and he just shrugged her off?

Did she forget how david helped weyland basically fuck over everybody in pursuit of irrational selfishness? how his demand to live forever led to blue man group going all hulk on everyone

He was merely following his master's, i.e. Weyland's orders like a good synthoid is supposed to.

Can somebody explain what the fuck Idris Elba's accent was supposed to be in Prometheus?

>>83056542
She asked him to help and he sedated her, which is a pretty reasonable thing to do when a hysterical pregnant woman is shouting at you.

>>83056547
I doubt she forgot that, but she probably thought David was just following Weyland's commands, and since Weyland was dead by that point it no longer mattered.

>Can somebody explain what the fuck Idris Elba's accent was supposed to be in Prometheus?

Not sure. I guess he was going for "American" but we don't sound like that. This bugs me about a lot of foreign actors trying to pull off American voices,since they never do it right, yet more and more are being used in TV and film.

The two britbongs in TWD don't sound right at all for instance, and they're suppoised to be playing characters from our deep south? please.
>>
>>83056681
Based on the dawning look she has in that scene I'd say she knows he is responsible but chalks it up to Weyland's influence since it happened while he was alive. In the end she undermines David's agency when she calls him a robot. Also yeah, she's a dumb forgiving christian.
>>83056304
fucked up.
maybe there will be some parallel and Shaw will have killed herself after all.
>>
>>83056681
I could never figure this shit out

At the end of Prometheus, she knows David is psycho

But then she's like, oh well, lets go fly to the engineer planet together! it will be fun!
>>
I kind of can't get over how David lost his - ANDROID - mind in 10 years. I mean even an ordinary human has a good chance of going that long withoug snapping and he's a goddamn robot ffs.

Also, the Neomorphs were so insanely overpowered. The black dust was just supposed to be some random byproduct of the black goo right? Like black goo 1.1
while David had all those years and his genius, autistic, cockgobbling robot mind to come up with what will later be known as the Xenomorph?
From what we saw in the movie, I think the only genuine thing 'better' about Xenos in comparison to the Neos is acid blood.
You can blow up eggs, you can shoot facehuggers and chestbursters but what the fuck are you supposed to do about f*cking dust that, once it touches your skin, kills you in a few minutes and spawns ultra fast killing machines that go to like 75% of their power the moment they burst out of you?

did that bjork chick that played shaw not do alien covenant because she hated michael fassbender really really badly after doing the movie with him or something?
>>
>>83056119
There was a theory floating around that David removed her blood to embalm her after the experiments and transferred some of it into his coolant fluid. He apparently bleeds a dark substance in the movie but I don't remember it if it happened. Could just be his works getting crusty from being marooned too.

Although Covenant managed to piss me off just like Prometheus did, the reasons were different.
I wanted in Prometheus to learn more about the Engineers, what did they created the black goo for and why did they wanted to kill us if they created us. I had hope in Elizabeth surviving long enough to get some answers but I'm not sure she even awakened from her travel.

In the prologue ("The Crossing", >>83054110), the last time we see her she looks like this. I have no idea where she got such a big sweater but it looks comfy.

In the movie, this is what we got:
- The convenant crew find the ship that flew at the end of Prometheus, crashed in a hill.
- Inside there's Prometheus stuff, including Shaw's dog tag and a picture of her with her husband.
- In the space jockey room, there's a recording of Shaw using the navigating instruments while singing "Take me home".

Back in the remains of the engineer's city, David is living in some caves. Inside:
- He has a tomb with "Elizabeth Shaw" written on it. Apparently it's an empty tomb.
- David says Elizabeth died in the crash, but later he admits that he did to her what he will do to the new female protagonist (kiss her? I don't remember seeing David directly attacking a human, he's always using indirect methods).
- Walter gets to see some of David's weird art, including a drawing which features Elizabeth Shaw's face but with a destroyed jaw.
- There's also a very artistic picture of a bald head (Shaw's again, I guess) with tubes all around.

And finally, Covenant's fem protagonist gets to see Elizabeth Shaw's corpse:
- It's over a table
- It's a little bit covered by a fabric identical to OP's pic.
- There's a big opening in the chest/stomach, you can see all of her organs inside. Looks like a vivisection.
- The final shot of this scene is a closeup to Shaw's face: she looks as a terminal patient, her eyes are closed and she just look like a terminal patient. It looks as if she never woke up from her sleep.

Why did all the married couples have different surnames?

Branson/Daniels
Ricks/Upton
Oram/Karine
Tennesse/Faris

It's only 100 years in the future, not really that long for society to rid itself of women taking their husbands name.
Also when have a couple ever referred to each other by their surnames. I can understand T and Dani as nicknames but everyone else sticks to the surnames only. Is it just another throwback to Alien, because I'm sure in every other movie it's always surnames only and that would only really make sense in Aliens where everyone is military.
>>
>>83058393
>- Walter gets to see some of David's weird art, including a drawing which features Elizabeth Shaw's face but with a destroyed jaw.
Here.
I really thought for a second that this really happened. But it's just a drawing and we get to see the proper corpse minutes later.
>>
>>83055692
Sorry to break it to you but a pricipal writer on alien convenient is also a writer on the new blade runner and is pals with scott.

Its quite obvious they are building AI universe.(not a shared one but bringing AI to the for front of movies)
>>
>people bitching about shaw 'trusting' david
she didn't have a choice. she didn't have a chance of piloting that ship alone, communicating with the engineers or most importantly getting herself in and out of cryo without him.

her options were die there, die on the way or take a leap of (lol) faith and hope that david wouldn't fuck her over.
>>
>>83053853
I dont get OP's pic.
It looks like a stand-in for Elizabet's corpse.

Pic related, it looks as if the used the stand-in to create that big cut that shows all her internal organs...
... and only in post-production they added Shaw's face on it. OP's woman looks nothing like Elizabeth Shaw. I also can't remember all that Giger stuff around her head.

nobody has pics of her corpse from the movie yet, it seems.
>>
>>83058393
>I have no idea where she got such a big sweater but it looks comfy.

I assume before taking off on the Engineer ship Shaw gathered supplies from Vicker's lifeboat. It had two years worth of supplies.
>>
>>83058393
>I wanted in Prometheus to learn more about the Engineers, what did they created the black goo for and why did they wanted to kill us if they created us
That was the exact thing I expected when I went to see it. Kind of a letdown that the only Engineers we got to see were slaughtered, in admittedly, a fantastic scene.
>>
>>83058601
I still don't know exactly how did she die and why.
>>
>>83058771
>why
bad writing!

I think there is probably some truth to the RLM review where they suppose that Ridley must think that everyone hates Prometheus (not far from the mark), so the only way to correct that is to kill off the only survivor from the movie, and more or less any plot point from the movie.
>>
>>83058771
it's purposely left nebulous i think. will probably be revisited in some capacity.
>>
>>83058586

If you read the thread you'd know OP's pic is art by Giger's girlfriend.

> If you read the thread you'd know OP's pic is art by Giger's girlfriend.
Didn't she died decades ago? What are you talking about?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Tobler
Yes, "Li" was the model for Giger back in the 70's, >>83054060 shows some of Giger's work using Li's face and OP's pic looks like a homage to it.
Shaw's proper corpse is a similar pose but with eyes closed and without all that weird stuff around.

Dude the short vignettes built around Prometheus had more depth and made way more sense than the movie itself.

For Shaw and co.getting assigned a spot on the Prometheus crew was like winning the lottery because the vetting and testing process was so unbelievably thorough.

But then in the movie every one of the crew is pants on head retarded.

i actually like how retarded they all are, the apollo 11 mission was mostly automated and even then, with simple routine tasks, it broke all 3 men psychologically. the magnitude of what they had done will echo for all of mankind, and that type of focused pressure you can only maintain for so long especially on mission, before going insane. they probably did isolation tests and figured out that the first people they send out there could only survive for one or two sleep cycles before they totally break down and a catastrophic error or man caused failure occurs.

the first people to ever do anything are often not prepared for it whatsoever. no doubt the prometheus crew was completely unprepared mentally or emotionally with what they were about to do. by ripleys time of course space travel is so mundane you just think about your bonuses and wearing comfortable shoes.

I watched again the extended version of Peter Weyland's TED talk.
He actually gives some answers to Covenant: the founding father of "The Company" just plainly says that he's ok with creating worlds without ethics or rules or legislations.

TL; DR: Peter Weyland created David not in his image, but as he wanted to be: inmortal and limitless in his creativity. Fuck ethics.
