Ridley Scott’s Alien franchise is a classic in the world of sci-fi and horror. So like all things that were successful at a certain point in time, Hollywood decided to bring it back in the past decade. Alien: Covenant hit theatres in 2017 and was a follow-up to Prometheus, while also being kind of a sequel to Alien and Aliens? It’s a little blurry.
Alien: Covenant definitely raises some questions. Like why is James Franco in this? Why are some significant scenes on the internet instead of in the movie? Why isn’t anyone wearing protective gear on an alien planet? How does everyone not see how obviously evil David is? Why did that girl lock her friend in a room with an alien, only to go in a few seconds later after the alien got her? Why does David think that Xenomorphs are so perfect?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Alien: Covenant! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

"an homage is when you press ctrl c on your keyboard and then ctrl v"
my new favorite joke from this whole series.
He should put in that joke, word for word, in his next three Pitch Meetings.
Mac users be like, "huh"?
Same, so i'll homage your comment
@@Test-vr3kf As ctrl c ctrl v is ubiquitous, I'm pretty sure at least most mac users know what it is, even if they (we) use command c command v. ;)
"an homage is when you press ctrl c on your keyboard and then ctrl v"
my new favorite joke from this whole series
I agree.
'Do all characters have brain damage?'
Everything makes sense now.
They should have explained that cryo does temporary brain damage for a while. Would have explained most of it
All the writers and producers and directors certainly did.
I don't even feel like that was Producer Guy saying that. I think that was just Ryan George's honest take on the movie.
Also, the movie makers counted on brain-damaged audience.
@@Sixstringman Yeah but they couldn't exactly put a line in the movie about how everyone was snorting massive amounts of coke
The quality of this series is some of the most consistent on all of UA-cam.
Yeah, even though it's just one guy with a greenscreen
Yeah it's also extremely low budget and uses one person lol
Mocking mainstream films is consistently easy to do.
Too bad the rest of screen rant is trash
Yes
Fun fact, i saw this movie in theaters and at the "you blow and i'll do the fingering" line i was the only person in the entire theater to laugh. It was a sad day for humanity.
Did all the people in the theater have brain damage or what?
@@dashs1496 No, they were all just hardcore Alien franchise fans, all simultaneously dying inside.
OR, maybe, um there was a lot of um, blowing and uh, fingering going on in the theater?????
I laughed in theaters at that as well! I think there were only maybe 6 other people in the whole theater with me though
saw it opening night in L.A, in a packed theater, and the entire theater erupted with laughter. There's no way that that scene was meant to be taken seriously. The screenwriters can't be that dense, can they? Probably. They probably are.
"Immediately reversing your convictions is tight." - "No it's not." - "I agree."
Underrated.
Only 6 hours ago? I was just about to post this comment my UA-cam twin, except I was gonna add "I may or may not have rewatched this line 5 times" Xd
no it's not underrated
Wow didn't catch that. Subtle ironic touch.
Too meta.
Yep, got me. Too good.
3:20 Unironically, the idea that the characters all have brain damage because they were forcibly woken from cryo-sleep makes the whole movie make a lot more sense.
lol
Maybe their brain damage is what got them put on that ship & made to go live on an uninhabited world.
Damn good point actually
Thanks for this 😂😂😂😂
Oh my god you cracked the secret of the movie
"if you raise massive question and don't provide answers that's mysterious." Ah, the JJ Abrams method.
Yeah. Prometheus and Covenant were so bad that one would think JJ Abrams made them.
The JJ Abrams method isn't just not providing answers, it's not having them in the first place.
@@z00ropa One of his writers did, if I remember correctly
Why 98 and not 07?
ah true, the great Lost Desaster.. A Pitch Meeting on that would be great.
My head cannon for this movie is that Wayland went full on Vault Tech and intentionally put the dumbest possible people on this ship as a social experiment. It makes the movie like 10 times better.
Colonists are well known for being dumbasses, as the Colonial Marines opine in "Aliens" 🙂
They must have been on the “B” ark.
Canon
I'm rewatching this movie now
@@mkvv5687 The crew are all former telephone sanitizers!
“Do all the characters have brain damage or what’s up?”
“They might!”
The Producer Guy's face before saying this killed me! 😂
@@deeya i honestly do not stop laughing watching these videos 🤣😂🤣
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just like the screen writers did... This movie contains so much unexplained stupidity that it is overwhelming.
One of my all time fav PM quotes and delivery 🤣
"Is it going to be difficult to make a Prometheus sequel that's even stupider than Prometheus?"
"No, actually it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience!"
"Oh, really?"
@@karekarenohay4432 Hiya how are you hope your fine
“Immediately reversing your convictions is TIGHT!”
“No, it’s not.”
“I agree.”
They also made Elizabeth stupider since David was just a head at the end of Prometheus, which means she gave him a body back despite everything he did.
@@oniakuma2392
Hey, a lady needs some D.
And by D I mean David.
"So, you have some confusion for me?"
"Yes, sir! I do!"
Stupidity*
"So, you have some utter nonsense for me?"
"Yes, sir! I do! LOTS!!!"
🤪🤪
Perfect!
I had the exact same reaction as the producer guy when that one lady locked her friend in the lab, let her die, went back in the lab, fell and then blew up the ship. I was like wtf man! Lol
I think that was the hardest I ever laughed for this channel!
Oh, so it's a comedy?
@@andrewturner7128It's a deeply disturbing documentary about a horrible fate of a ship's crew that got brain damage by being forcefully woken up from cryosleep and decides to randomly explore an alien planet.
The movie makes more sense when viewed as a slapstick comedy.
"She is badass looking female character with short hair in an Alien movie"
"There it is, that's a main character right there"
This is just pure gold.
"She is a bad*** looking female..." (shows picture)
"Is that Snow White?"
"It could be! Everyone knows Snow White was the biggest bad*** female! She served seven small men and was easily tricked on multiple occasions by her stepmother in disguise."
"I think you might be confusing 'hapless' with bad***."
"Woopsie!"
"Woops!"
Killing off Noomi Rapace and replacing her with some basic chick is NOT tight!
Pretty much sums of most movies/shows these days
David is single handedly carrying this franchise. especially now he cut off his hand.
"I would applaud that, but, well, you know..."
-- David
Yeah, Screen rant would be dead without - wait what..?
That is a good one 🤔🤣
Yeah I think David is a genuinely terrifying villian and I hope he can get a third movie, finishing off his story. I didnt like how they implied he created the first Xenomorphs, I think it would have been better if it just implied he was experimenting on Xenomorphs due to Weyland programming compelling him to do that.
However, I do like the idea of a created organism like him trying to use the Xenomorphs as weapons to get revenge on Humanity.
Isn't that going to be difficult?
it's unbelievable how these pitch meetings never get old. maybe it's because the writing and delivery are so good. Ryan, you're a very talented individual.
A very talented set of individuals. ;-)
Ryan is lucky to have found a decent foil to act with.
As long as there are insightful observations delivered with irony and wit, they will never get old
Being a very talented individual is tight
It's also the way in which he keeps his memes fresh by applying them in altered or totally unexpected ways *(pow pow pow ... pow),* so we basically become thrilled for the How as much as for the What.
"Weren't the humans gone when Walter got his face cut? - nobody knew about that part?" Absolutely classic!
Whoopsie!
“Immediately reversing your convictions is tight! No it’s not. I agree.”
This might’ve been the best joke in Pitch Meeting history...
This is Monty Python Life of Brian level humor
Probably my new favorite Pitch Meeting moment.
5:51
@@DragonBallUniversity No, it's not.
I love how these pitch meetings roast these films savagely and cleverly at the same time
Roasting these films savagely and cleverly at the same time is tight!
So noticing plot holes in movies that took months to produce, should be almost impossible?
@@sirloin8745 It's actually super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
@D. Rüesch So, the point of the channel is appreciated explicitly. What did you want to contribute with your comment? I read it as a mix of belittling and passive aggressiveness, but I hope I read it wrong.
Shut up bot
“Yeah and he gives himself a sliced up face just like Walter has.”
“Weren’t the humans gone when that happened like none of them were there.”
“Oh yeah but he did that for the audience cause they were present during the fight.”
“Ohhhh that’s nice of him!”
“A very considerate evil robot!”
“Wowowowowow-“
Too much pitch meetings in this one
I read all that in the voices
@@autumneagle same 😭😭
David knows about us? Welcome to the end ladies and gentlemen
Robot broke the 4th wall, are they programmed to be able to do that.
"Characters have to say things sometimes, and this is a thing this character can say." That explained the entire movie!!!
Prometheus, as well. A WHOLE LOT of nothing.
I would love a channel that has the writers come on and react to these videos and try to explain themselves would be gold.
"Real Hollywood Writers React To Pitch Meetings" needs to be a thing, I agree.
The setting should be a court room and the writers are on trial for shitty writing
@@anthonygusman9909 🤣Your charges are wow wow wow wow.
The closest thing I can think of is The Russo Brothers reacting to honest trailers
@@chillywill "How do you plead?"
"Your honor, I'm going to need you to get allll the way off my back about that."
- "It will be difficult to make a worse Alien movie than Prometheus"
- "Actually super easy, barely an inconvenience"
why were they so bad... why Ridley .. tell us why you fked them so bad....why did you forsake ussss
Of course we hade shitty movies back in the time. I feel like I needed to mention that, before the inevitable strawman is screaching at me.
Just hire John Logan
I still liked them more than "Resurrection."
@@rcole718 At least Resurrection is fun, until the baby alien shows up.
Prometheus and Covenant are like the Fast and the Furious series, they are parodies of themselves, but at least the F&F creators are aware of that.
Pitch Meeting is a master class in film criticism mixed with comedy.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Good job Ryan making all of this look super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Oh, mixing film criticism with comedy is TIGHT!
More like film roasting than criticism.
It's like Honest trailers or Cinemasins, but Pitch Meetings are actually good
oh, making things look easy is tight!
@@StanSays ouch, agreed, for cinemasins, honest trailers is pretty funny.
I can’t really explain it, but at 4:54, the way Screenwriter Guy is looking at his script and delivers the line “Yeah, just the perfect organism.” is one of the funniest and most unique moments in all of Pitch Meeting history.
It makes it seem like Screenwriter Guy dismisses and ignores Producer Guy pointing out the plot holes. He doesn’t even respect him enough to make eye contact. And then he pretends that everything supports his narrative, repeating “Yeah, just the perfect organism.“ as if Producer Guy had been making positive and encouraging statements about the script the whole time.
That's one of my favourite person pars too 👍
It's truly amazing how Ridley Scott read this script and thought this was a good idea to turn into a movie.
I heard Ridley Scott is also the one that cancelled the proposed Alien 5 sequel from Neil Blomkamp. Somehow he thinks he owns the franchise.
You find some amazing things when you get really far up your own orifice.
Well it's because $$, and then $$ and so $$. I hope that explains things.
@@zaltmanbleroze well because he kinda does though. But yeah, Im also one of those people who actually liked Prometheus..
@@zaltmanbleroze he really sinks his own franchise.
Almost choked on my food on that homework line, guess that's what I get for eating during a pitch meeting xD
same!
Almost choked on my food at the CTRL C CTRL V part 😂
Oooh almost dying while watching UA-cam is TIGHT
@@SRP3572 I died while watching the Lord of the Rings pitch meetings.
Its ok, though. I came back as Wesley the White. I used to be Wesley the Gray.
Yeah no... Never eat during pitch meetins... And definetly don't drink
The opening is brilliant. "So you have an Alien preque... A prometheus Sequ... Da.. Ju...Do you got a movie for me?" LOL
🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for him to say, "Oh, it's something."
"Why do they make an android with growing hair?"
LMAO.
That's a very valid point.
Same question I have with the Terminator having aging flesh in Terminator Genysis.
Do the finger nails and toe nails also grow or would those be add ons ?
They're ALL valid points, that's why Ryan is so popular on UA-cam.
@@christianhardtofind6349 made more sense in terminator as it is living human tissue over a metal endoskeleton.
@@christianhardtofind6349 In the case of the Terminator, the aim was to have them infiltrate the resistance strongholds, so Skynet probably needed them to look as realistic as possible with organic flesh and skin to not arose the suspicions of the humans. David on the other hand, doesn't have that excuse.
That's kind of what was great about the first Alien. The characters were exactly as smart as they should be, none of the decisions ever really felt unjustified. Even the seemingly bad decisions are explained when you realize Ash had an agenda
When i watched the pitch meeting i had the same thought.
When writers weren't so lazy. Those were the days
well.... a very undecisive captain, yes captain Dallas, going into the tunnels to kill it wasnt smart, guided by a hysterical Lambert. And then splitting up to look for the cat, not killing the baby alien when Kane was chest bursted, oh, and Lambert being a gripey biatch, and freezing when cornered. Kane peering into an alien egg, and Nostromos security allowing someone to just punch open a quarantine door to let the face hugger in, and Ripley blowing up the ship when the alien was in the escape pod, no one noticing an android on board at all, ever....erm, just a few examples. But it is still my favorite movie anyway.
The mistakes in the original film were believable unlike the current films.
@@meisterlymanu5214Everything you listed besides Lambert guiding Dallas is fine ( and that is fine too considering they originally supposed to have some romance).
And actually, listing Lambert freezing when cornered is idiotic by you, since its obviously not a desicion in the first place, its a mental breakdown from fear.
That scene where David kills the captain bothered me so much
David is like: "Hey captain you wanna die"
Captain: "yeah sure"
HEY! That disgusting alien egg looks perfectly safe to put my face in
“I told you that egg was too wet!!” ~ Morty
Makes the guy who wanted to play with the snake in the last film look like Stephen Hawking.
By my calculations, watching this was 37,000 times more entertaining than watching the film.
These 2 bloke's have such good chemistry onscreen.
Even look a little bit alike.....
@@nhmooytis7058 probably helps with the chemistry.
@@nhmooytis7058 They look nothing alike, that one guy is wearing glasses.
@@nonplayercharacter6478 true! Maybe distant cousins.
Perhaps they are androids like Walter and David?
I'm not sure when the people working on the Alien franchise all suddenly started thinking 'let's be like Lost, but worse' with their writing
Probably when they hired Damon Lindeloff.
I think they were lost in both manner, lost like "JJ abrams mystery box lazy writing" and lost "I don't know where I am going".
Soooo much worse
@@davidsumner7604 I read the original script to Prometheus, it was more conventional but would have been a much better movie.
I actually like'd Prometheus. Having that movie end with a lot of loose ends was fine except two problems: 1 - They forgot to answer any of those questions in the second movie. 2 - Hollywood banks far too much on future sequels where if the series doesn't continue, you're left with barely functional plots.
The Ryanverse is the only universe where the producer is the voice of reason in a pitch meeting.
Producers without reasoning is tight
Wellllll...he raises great questions, then caves for the money, that pretty much nails how they got rich, then stayed rich. on point
If the roles were reversed, it wouldn't be funny. It would just be a moneyman destroying an artist's work, like usually happens.
The way producer guy says "Oh my God" cracks me up every single time🤣🤣
J.J. and most other writers these days: "The mystery is more important than the answer!"
Story writing 101: I'd like a word...
Or are they just lazy writers--I don't know the answer to this mystery
These days? JJ mastered this skill with Lost
Yeh, it's like storytelling's 1st rule: Promises and Payoffs.
seriously.
"Do all the characters have brain damage?"
Maybe it's for the best they didn't get to start a colony?
It'd be a colony full of Twitter idiots, Facebook morons and Reddit mods...
"An homage is when you press control C on your keyboard, and then control V" I'm dying
That was gold.
That was just epic
Ok Roomer. A Ryan fan boomer
3:15 I like how the latest scene was enough to just make the producer pause with a gobsmacked expression haha
"Were gonna pretend like it's a big twist later "
*WandaVision pitch meeting pops up in the top right corner*
😂😂😂😂
If the space crew of this movie remained on earth, they would totally fall for one of those “Free Candy” vans.
"Do all the characters have brain damage" 😂😂 Of all the pitch meetings, this has to be the most brutal beating of a film, and therefore my favourite ever.
I watched half of prometheus, then came here for both pitch meetings, and now i can go on with my life. Thank you for the gift
I'm a writer and horrified that pitch meetings are really like this. So, thanks for these training videos.
"Do all the characters have brain damage?!"
"They might 😃"

@@purefoldnz3070 Top comment here.
Didn't the Critical Drinker say HE had brain damage from watching this movie? Have to go back and watch that review again.
@@fixedfocusfilm3068 underappreciated observation.
They really could have made something classic with the Prometheus movies. Instead we got scientists that visit alien planets without breathing gear.
It’s an alien planet. Is there air? You don’t know!
@@benwhitworth8881 it's less about the atmosphere and more about the biosphere. an alien planet would have alien micro-organisms. We wouldn't have the immunity to fight them off.
@@andreanto8685 exactly! Hell, in the first movie, Ripley didn't want to bring Kane back on the ship after getting attacked by the facehugger because she was afraid of alien diseases, keep in mind that she, and the other characters are the equivalent of truckers in this universe, but somehow have a better understanding of dealing with alien life than scientists in Prometheus and Covenant. And before anyone mentions how the rest of the crew wanted to bring Kane back on the ship, they were worried about their friend and it was mostly the ones who were on the planet with him
@@wolfmantheimpaler Ripley by logic was the smartest (or one of them) character, earning the main protagonist spot naturally.
"Yeah, well the movies happening now, so now is when things have to happen."
Truer words...
I feel like Alien Covenant was the directors way of scolding Alien fans who hated Prometheus and wanted an actual alien film, so he pretty much wrote and directed the movie with his buttchecks and shouted “are you happy now!” When everyone hated it
even crazier that, assuming it doesn't stay canceled, or assuming it does (please don't, I'm fine with the ending of prometheus at this point, rather see "a real alien 3" or "an alien 5 on earth then back to space" far more). Ridley Scott said basically he wanted MORE David involvement in a third film. Like, how? You make him the main character I don't see how they changes anything given covenant made an indentical looking clone as it was. Killing Shaw was also just as wrong as killing Hicks and Newt. Also there was literally nothing in covenant that couldn't have been covered in 30 minutes-like the entire film. Ok add on "Alien vs. Predator in space" I'd also rather see that too.
"Not enough gory alien horror!"
"Oh no,Too much aliens!"
From wat i've heard about Ridley Scott, he would be totally into that.
Disney is going to make a new Alien movie, with one of the Xenomorph's being friendly, so it can fight the bad one(s).
@@BeCoShooter And does it make friends with a little kid? That would be so cute.
I think if Hollywood hired Ryan to read these scripts, we would have better films, or at least a lot less worse films.
That's the thing I don't get. A movie can have bad acting and special effects, but why on earth do they have plot holes? They cost nothing to fix during development. The only thing I can think of is that some people just don't care about continuity or logic. They are more concerned with things like ambiance and cinematography.
@@KenMathis1 Well I mean you do know about the final season of Game of Thrones - right?
Do you know the names of the writers or their future projects? Most people don't.
So chances are, their careers didn't suffer from their bad job. Just like how StarWars kept going after the prequels - if there is little to no consequence for bad work, there is little incentive to do better.
*fewer
We won't have movies
@@KenMathis1 Concocting a captivating yet logical story without gaping plot holes is hard work. Since people seem to swallow all the low effort crap Hollywood can throw at them, I guess they figured why _should_ they invest the extra effort?
"So you got an Alien prequel....Prometheus sequel....er.....do ya have a movie for me?"
"Yes sir i dont know."
4:53 RIP Ian Holm. “Perfect Organism” joke was fire 🔥
"an Hommage is when you press control+c and then control+v"
This actual fact blew my mind
Actually Ryan exaggerated. Homage is when you get inspiration from another artist. The screenwritter here misinformed the prod, saying that homage is copying.
@@johngr1747 of course he exagerated, its COMEDY
@@johngr1747 wow that joke just flew right over your head, didn't it?
@@johngr1747 wow wow wow ..... WOW
@@johngr1747 u know its not an actual pitch meeting right lmao
Screen Rant needs to know the ONLY reason I still know who they are is because of this man.
What is this Screen Rant that everyone yammers on about?
It's kinda sad though, cause Ryan's channel would be way more popular if this series was uploaded there. He'd have millions of subscribers.
Unclear
I think they know. He probably has the CEO's parking space..............and his office.
Are you saying that Screen Rant is more than just these pitch meetings?

"Well characters have to say things sometimes and this is a thing that this character can say."
I feel like that sentence should be in every pitch meeting from now on.
Damn this guy must be hella rich coz he wrote all the movie scripts I saw in my life's.

I was astonished to see how much worse ‘Alien: Covenant’ was. They had no choice but to stop making them.
I mean they had a choice, they just finally did the right thing against all odds.
It was the studio slamming the brakes because if it were up to Ridley we'd be 2 movies past 'Covenant' by now. I don't normally like studios interfering, but this time I'll allow it.
“Do all the characters have brian damage?” Is a question that applies to both these Alien prequels.

Each of Ryan's Pitch Meetings contains more laughs than a full year of Saturday Night Live. Ryan is a genius!
Pitch meeting are so good to the point where I would watch without seeing the movie.
Saves a ton of time and money.
I do that all the time.
One of my favorite memories from the movie is when I went to go see it with a few school buddies. During the David /Walter scene where the iconic line: "I'll do the fingering" was said, one friend busted out laughing, followed suit by another buddy. They then proceeded to continue laughing at each other's laughs for quite some time, getting a few others alongside me to join in. I hope we didn't annoy others in the theatre but the chain reaction was too hilarious
I hope SR realizes that *”Pitch Meeting”* sketches are basically the only reason they still have subscribers...😆❤️

"Who is the wizard, where did he learn to do that, did he go to Hogwarts or is he from Middle Earth?"
"Characters have to say things sometimes..." Genius
I know it’s impossible to overlook just how genius Ryan George often is even if you’ve only seen a few of these videos, but I still gotta single out the exchange about immediately reversing your convictions. It’s such a brilliant and also brilliantly economical joke. The setup and punchline have no fat and it all came so quick I almost missed it but I’m very glad I didn’t.
Maybe I missed it but I’m surprised you guys didn’t make a crack about the same guy playing two different characters.
that would have been hilarious.
"I think it'll be a lot more enjoyable for people if we give them homework"
Ah, I see someone attended the Star Wars Sequels School for Storytelling
Or the prequels.
Uh no. Has literally never happened.
@@cenciende9401 Kylo Ren's motivation and backstory + the First Order conquering the galaxy are nit in the movies, only in comics.
@@luizfelipevbf5567 Everyone knows Darth Vader's motivation and how the Empire conquered the galaxy is in the original, oh wait...
@@joshuapray However that was just kinda set up, the sequels have a problem with that because the OT kinda set up that everything was pretty good at the end but then suddenly the First Order is huge and there doesn't seem to be a reason for this to have happened in the intervening time, so it seems like it should have some explanation as to how the republic did NOTHING to stop it
I didn't even realise James Franco was in this movie, or that there's additional clips
Buy the alien covenant blue ray and you get them on disc
Someone didn't do their homework.

It was a big controversy with "Passengers" (2016) that people saw the trailer and couldn't predict the plot twist.
@@Ackalan huh? That was actually an ok film.
"Does every character have brain damage?!"
*checks cast*
*sees Jussie Smollett*
😂
Well, being hit on the head by guys yelling "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black" must be brain damaging!

@@jacknapier8201 Hey, remember when the last president was a sociopath with an IQ of 60 who killed 600,000 Americans? Idiotic sociopaths who are also mass murderers are tight!
This is the movie that made me so fed up with current films that I have not been back to a theatre since.
Self-destructive behaviour is not healthy, you might need to see someone and get help.
This is the second best alien film in the franchise.
@@foundhorrificgames.2505 in your opinion. Good for you. Not everything needs to be enjoyed by everyone.
"Well, see, if you raise MASSIVE questions and then don't provide answers for them, that's mysterious" is the entire plot of Donnie Darko
“Immediately reversing your convictions is tight!”
“No it’s not.”
“I agree.”
Took me a sec, hahaha.
Layered joke. Definitely my favorite line.
same.
My Dumbass self didn't get it yet! Can you explain?
@@இறை_நேசன் by saying "I agree" he reversed his convictions.
“Ok guys we should make the origins as mysterious as possible”
Writers: “Nah let’s just make a cyborg purely responsible”
actually the writer did alot of homework but the director screw it, like joss whedon to justice league.
we should have the origin intelegent alien called Deacon and why the engineers fails to clone him and resulting abomination psychopath alien, but.. nahh.. director prefer popcorn movie.
It's still mysterious. The creature David created isn't the Xenomorph we see in Alien, nor is it the one we see on the mural in prometheus. The novel reveals that his creation is just an altered/modified version of something he found on the engineers planet.
@@porcu12345 The Mural was a Deacon. And he was very specific that he designed the other things.
@@SuperSymbiote1 The mural isn't a deacon. Deacon creation requires a very specific chain of events to occur involving humans. The engineers on the prometheus planet had exploded chest cavities without any humans being there. David designed the creatures that appeared in covenant, but he built upon blueprints he found on the engineer home planet. Here's a direct quote from the canon novelization:
"In case you were wondering, I had nothing to do with it (the dead facehugger). It lies as I found it, a supreme example of the Engineers' skill. And also, their hubris, I suppose. Would that I create something so perfect in its function? I try but I don't have thousands of years of practice in biological and genetic engineering. I only have my pitiful programming on which to draw."
He then goes on to imply that he's not entirely sure if the Engineers created it. That's why his creation is called a praetomorph and doesn't have any of the bio-mechanical features of the drone in Alien. It's also pure aggression and lacks higher intelligence, which you can see when it blindly attacks the mechanical crane claw that it thinks is a creature, or when its lead around the ship by opening/closing doors like a dog on a leash.
@@porcu12345 The mural looks too vague to be the version of Xenomorph from the franchise. It could of been a different breed.
Some say, this was James Franco's most defining role since the Tommy Wiseau biopic.
Thanks!
