    I’ll always die on the hill of this being a good movie for the alien series. It’s not perfect, but it’s got some gorgeous storytelling elements in it. David’s character progression is unbelievably good and the music choice & score? My god don’t even get me started it’s excellent. I adore this film regardless of the alien fandom’s general thoughts

    Fassbender is truly an ss-class actor.
    Somehow managed to deliver two character's lines, tone and accent completely differently.
    The way he portrays Walter's demeanor, mannerisms, body language and attitude are incredibly different than the way he acts David out.
    He's one of the very best and i wouldn't be surprised if he reaches de niro, alpacino level of greatness.
    More like, im sure he will. By the time he's 80 he'll be screen legend.

      The original Engineers couldn't procreate, they created the goo to alter DNA, what they didn't expect was to create a Deacon. They worshipped the Deacon and the process of being used as a vessel for these beings. However something happens and they decide to lock up the goo and only use it to wipe species out. The ship in Prometheus was meant for Earth.
      David used Shaw's body with the goo after much experimenting to create the first eggs. David does this without a Queen, because Shaw's genetic material is used to make David's xenomorphs which are cousins to the xenomorphs we saw in Alien/Aliens

      I think they did a good job, brought back visceral alien violence and somehow in trying to balance it and make everyone happy pissed off the most people. Idk I liked Covenant but I get people feeling underwhelmed and it doesn't help that these movies kinda make you connect dots on your own to figure out the engineer/goo/xenomorph relationship and if you don't understand it why would you care? It leaves you less invested

    It’s too bad this movie tanked hard at the box office when it could’ve done so well.

    The planet they're on isn't actually the Engineers' homeworld. It’s more of a settlement they used and those indigenous were another race created by the Engineers. Also David was merely trying to replicate the xenomorph that were referenced by the Engineers. Some background is the engineers either discovered or developed an organism as a bioweapon. This was called the wolf and is meant to be the first iteration of xenomorphs

    • @ChibiHoshiDragon
      @ChibiHoshiDragon 2 місяці тому +1

      The book mentions that David found an egg sac with a face-hugger in it that was dead/petrified. That is why Oram looks and the egg sac and believes David that he is safe. He has survived looking at one already as well as everything in the lab.
      I wish the movie had included things from the book that show as it makes them less "reckless" as they are depicted in the movie. Walter had made scans during the few weeks they had to travel to Planet 4. He is the first one out of the ship to confirm the air. He even reaches to physically test the water and states the results match the scans, before they all leave the shuttle.
      Of course, the ending is different. The book does end with the reader not knowing if Daniels figured it out or not.
      Instead of the cabin error, they talk about how she doesn't care about regulations and would find a way to help him once they reach Origae-6
      _“Walter-thank you. For everything. You’re crew, and I don’t know what kind of a future there will be for you once the colony is established, but I know there’ll be something. I don’t care what the regulations say. I’ll see to it myself.”_
      _At his touch on the external controls, the pod canopy closed. He hit the control to activate hypersleep. Her eyes were locked on his as the narcotic steam began to fill the pod._
      _“I know you will, Danny, but even if you can’t do anything for me, I’ll love you just the same.”_
      (after he kissed her as David, he said "You stink of Humanity, but I'll love you just the same.")
      _When the steam cleared, she was fast asleep. He wondered if he would dream. If so, he wondered if he would be in it. That last moment, those last words-did she know? Had she retained, at the last, just enough cognizance to comprehend?_
      _The thought that she would dream of him was pleasurable._

      It's not an opinion to understand that the characters in both Prometheus and especially in Covenant act stupid just to further the plot. That's factual. You may enjoy that but that shows you lack the necessary critical thinking skills to understand what makes a story good or not.

Neither is a measure of "quality." Characters don't have to ACT stupid to further the plot. They ARE stupid. That IS the plot. Humans are stupid = plot. That was the plot of the first Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien 4, Prometheus, Covenant, and even Romulus. It's the central pivot of the entire franchise.

The film is gorgeous. And the ending was genius too

    Alien - a blue collar, working class, slasher film. 70s inflation, rising gas, an every persons decade of doing what you must for cash, despite the consequences.
    Aliens - a Reagan esque, military heavy romp where no matter the weapons, hubris is how you fall.
    Alien 3 - a grungy, dirty, Gen X slog, that shows that the dirtiest of them all, despite their issues, will stand up for whats right.
    (I think 4 doesn't move anything forward, so I'm skipping.)
    Prometheus - A "hope and change" Obama era film that ponders the innate need for us to trust where we're going and what we're made of and the hope that who created us has the empathy that we know we're capable of. We overestimate our own sociopathic programming.
    Alien Convenant: A late 2010s Trump era, sobering dose of reality, that when we take a risk on a "what if?" or "we should try!" only returns horrific results. The "hope and change" of our search turns out to have incredibly disgusting results in our trusting of the uncertainty.

      I think it's a valid complaint with Prometheus. The crew in that movie are supposed to be the best of the best because of how important the mission is to Weyland, you'd think a bunch of highly educated field scientists would be more careful around potential biohazards on an alien planet and clearly hostile mutated fauna. Compare that to the crew of blue collar space truckers in the original Alien and it makes a lot more sense in that film's context. At least in Covenant it's the less educated members of the crew who initially are infected and completely by accident, which is way more believable. I still find it a bit odd that in both this and Prometheus they would enter and explore an alien biome with no respirators or helmets even if the air is breathable. I feel like that's the first thing I would be concerned about in that situation. Like you have no idea what could possibly be in the air even if there's enough oxygen to breathe.

    Actually David only recreated the aliens.
    In Prometheus you can see a painting of an alien queen in the background of the room where they find the pods, meaning the engineers were already aware of the aliens.
    Also the crashed ship of the very first movie had a dead pilot which was fossilized.
    That would not happen within just a few years, so the ship probably crashed a long time ago.
    You could also take the AvP movies into consideration, if you really wanted to.
    If you think of the Covenant aliens as kind of a "second" generation the AvP movies do not really go against anything established in the other movies.
    As a sidenote: the white aliens in this movie are called neomorphs and the bulky ones are the protomorphs.

      Either way, it still proves that the xenomorphs, or at least one sub-species of xenomorph, was already known to the engineers.

    It’s shocking to me that audiences aren’t suspicious enough of David in the first movie and still don’t understand how dangerous he is in this movie until it’s all being laid out. Maybe it’s the politeness? As long as David is bland and polite, nobody seems bothered to dig deeper. Which, of tbh, meshes with my experience of society, where people will accept those who can blend in with their group and appear to respect their feelings of importance/value within the group, even if that person’s actions demonstrate clear violations of values that the group believes that all members should uphold.
    It makes sense that David was “too human” and promoted the creation of Walter, who to me seems just as human but with a more humanistic attitude. David is human in the way cult leaders are human.

      If you played the game, Isolation, Christopher Samuels helps Amanda Ripley.
      That of course led to many a shipper of Ellen Ripley/Bishop, Call/Ripley, A. Ripley/Samuels and Shaw/David 8 at the end of Prometheus for those who interpreted his actions as unable to disobey Weyland and not his own actions).
      You only know David 8 is bad if you watch Prologue: The Crossing, where Shaw attaches David's head to his body, you see she trusts him to put her in cryo (And she may have been sick given her pallor) and you see the weapons being dropped

    43:20 Walter is a more advanced model compared to Ash and Bishop. He has self-repairing capabilities, which allow him to heal from injuries. This feature is part of his design to make him more resilient and reliable for long-term missions1.
    Ash, on the other hand, is an older model with a different set of priorities. He was designed primarily for scientific and covert operations, which didn’t include self-repairing abilities2.
    Bishop is another advanced model, but his design focuses more on human interaction and ethical behavior, rather than self-repair. His primary function was to assist and protect the crew, adhering to strict behavioral inhibitors
    being a prequel doesnt mean they were built in that order, Ash and Bishop models were earlier and different than Walter.

    Just to clarify one thing here. The aliens we saw in “Alien: Covenant” movie were not the original xenomorph we saw in “Alien” and “Aliens” franchise. Just like in “Prometheus” movies, the virus or pathogen 🦠 manifests different kinds/types/shapes/species of creatures by hosting or infecting the human bodies. These alien creatures in “Alien: Covenant” were more agile, feral, skinny and edgy/thorny compared to the original xenomorph. So, at best you could only called it xenomorph-like creatures, but not xenomorph itself 😊

The term xenomorph is tossed out pretty casually by the Lt Gorman, and Gorman (and the marines in general) definitely had never encountered nor knew anything about the aliens, because at that point the company was still denying the aliens existed.

      Yes, the xeno we all know and love , is bio mechanical in nature . The alien in covenant is a protomorph as Ridley Scott calls it ( David’s prototype) and is only organic in nature , like the white neomorphs and the final deacon at the very end of Prometheus all organic only .
      To get the actaul bio-mechanical xeno , it’s been suggested David in search of evolving his perfect organism sacrifices himself or perhaps some of his body parts somehow , and this sporn the very first xenomorph , which is both mechanical and organic in nature …
      It’s what maybe what the 3rd prequel would have been about . David’s further experimentation on the colonists on the covenant ship and perhaps on himself , then leads into the back end of the 1979 Alien;) and an engineer get facehugged somehow , leading to the derelict and the space jockey sitting in the chair on lv426 that was first discovered in the 1979 Alien.
