Was it ever explained how the fuck David controlled the fucking xenos?

The fucking neomorph didn't attack him at all. And don't give me that shit about David being a robot. All other robot's in the franchise were utterly rekt by xenos

The other xenomorph that was born from the captain literally raised his arms and obeyed David right when it was born

What the fuck?

Could they somehow sense he was their creator? Or do all you really have to do is blow air in them like a fucking horse?

>>85896495
i guess david bred them to be sympathetic to himself.

>>85896550
that doesn't happen instantly
that would take generations of breeding and one of the early generations would have killed him

Not even close.

Prometheus was just stupid incarnate on film.

Covenant was a vast improvement over that insufferable piece of garbage.

>>85896495
well, the xenos were probably programmed to kill any biological life

The Prometheus movies only share continuity with the first Alien movie, and the android in that one was conveniently killed by humans before he had a chance to be killed by the alien.

David explicitly states that the xenomorphs are basically a secondary effect of the black goo, their purpose being to wipe out whatever large animals remain alive after the bombs destroy the bulk of the population. This actually makes the xenomorph creature make a lot more sense. It was never intended to wipe out civilizations itself, but rather just clean up stragglers after a carpet bombing.

It is completely terrible. Probably put the Alien franchise to bed.

Why do they have to insist to make it a horror film and not something with substance? Fucking terrible.

The only thing was interesting is why David nuked the engineers on accident?

CGI was total shit as well.

This was kind of "eh" in Prometheus, where they already seemed to be pretty shit at controlling their weapon, which begged the question "Why not just send some nukes?", but now that there is concrete evidence that a single robot could do the shit that somehow who knows how many of their expert scientists didn't manage to do? That's just bullshit.

I like how they refused to bring flamethrowers/weapons in prometheus, because it was a science exploration. That was a great plot device, and how they literally managed to get lost, just 10/10

Where does the queen fit into all this. If it's a queen type reproduction system like ants and bees then the queen should be born first, not the facehuggers

>>85903714
That's just a drone though, I think you're mistaking the decorative features for the larger head, which also shouldn't be that smooth. Aside from the torso belonging to a drone.

>>85903873
Ridley made a mess out of it anyway, the Chestburster should be first.

Many of the characters are shit and the story is often nonsensical but I enjoyed both of the new Alien movies just because of Fassbender. I would watch a third as long as he was the main character.

>>85903714
That looks nothing like a queen, it's just a standard xeno drone looking down.

>>85903873
The queen doesn't exist in this continuity. The aliens, whether created by David or by the Engineers, don't seem to have a reproductive capacity of their own at all. I think the idea is that they are designed to do their job and then die off so the Engineers can move in and start terraforming or whatever it is they do.

>>85904004
fassbender, while being the only one who can act and does it well, his character david is the fucking worst thing about these movies
>every question you have about the aliens is answer by lol david did it

>>85900494
They are though, what do you think perfect means? They're a good weapon but a shit lifeform, it can't procreate at all, just kill or mutate other lifeforms, the Xenos can.

>>85896495
i think so

>>85903918
>>85904002
>>85904021
Still doesn't make sense since engineers didn't create the xeno, only the pathogen. Also get glasses you blind niggers, it's clearly a queen.

Ridley Scott directs Alien, executives tell the script writer that they want an android in the movie, it's sci-fi after all.

>Ridley Scott retcons this android into being the creator of the aliens...

Ridley Scott directs Blade Runner

>Ridley Scott retcons Deckard into being a replicant the second he gets a chance (directors cut), and probably has made sure this will be the case in the upcoming Blade Runner 2049

Can he just stop fucking things up ?

>>85903714
not the xenomorph, not the queen. It's the deacon

>>85903367
Didn't stop the Queen from tearing Bishop apart.

>>85904159
>engineers didn't create the xeno, only the pathogen
You think they never deployed the weapon before? They clearly did, because they carved an image of it on the fucking wall.

>it's clearly a queen.
Why doesn't it have spikes, or a queen's head shape then?

>>85904267
not canon

>>85904336
in your head maybe, Fox will make canon whatever makes them money and if they need to put the Queen in the next they will and Ridly can whine all he wants

>covenant = trash
>ridley = hack
there should be no more discussion required

>>85904216
>executives tell the script writer that they want an android in the movie, it's sci-fi after all
Honestly Ash is one of my favorite parts of the original, I always find the scene where he tries to kill Ripley and gets dismantled scarier than any Xeno scene. Plus, it's a neat explanation for why they broke the quarantine procedures. Execs did something right for once.

>>85904267
When he got directly in its way, like a wall or some piece of furniture.

>>85904407
Actually, Fox endorsed game Alien: Isolation only uses the original Alien as basis and featured no Queen. How the eggs were produced is left ambiguous like the original movie but a deleted scene from the film suggests humans being transformed into the eggs in the nest.

>>85904159
Where are the T-Rex arms on it's chest, then?

>>85904407

>Fox will make canon whatever makes them money

Yeah, it's already been made clear that there will be no more sequels for Ridley, Covenant made no money at all and was quickly ushered out on Bluray and vod in the hopes of getting any kind of profit.

There will be some sort of reboot, probably avoiding any 'lore' as much as possible, then if successful, a sequel will flesh out a new story behind the aliens.

>>85904159
shut up you stupid fuck
>A mural of a fully-grown Xenomorph, resembling a Drone, can be seen on the wall of the Engineer Temple on LV-223, indicating that the Xenomorphs already exist by the time of Prometheus. However, the creature in the mural also seemingly possesses qualities of the Deacon, such as in its arms, which lack the biomechanical motifs of the traditional Xenomorph and instead are smoother and more biological in nature.

Also the creature effects were fucking atrocious.

In order to try and convince them he had the talent and skills for the job he arranged a screening of The Terminator for the crew on the set, to demonstrate his abilities. However, most of the crew ignored the invite and didn’t bother to turn up.

>>85896495
He didn't just throw their DNA together and then let it hatch. He actively puts cybernetic enhancements into them. The fully developed xenomorph you see in Aliens is a self replicating cyborg.

That's why the xenomorphs in these prequel movies are all "unfinished". Because David hasn't perfected the right kind of cybernetic enhancements that will self propagate along with the biological host.
