And they dare not go religious b/c that's not 'cool' in hollywood right now and some sci fi atheist nerds wouldn't like it, and those are the only nerds that hollywood elites talk to, in the forums of google in silicon valley.

It’s hilarious how Davis not only attributes the poem to Lord Byron when it’s actually by Shelley (the husband of Mary Shelley who wrote Frankenstein which heavily inspired this movie), but also misunderstands the point of the poem. It’s about how tyrants prideful of their work are oft forgotten amid the sands of time and eventually their works fade into nothing. David is a footnote and will one day be forgotten, even if the Xenomorph is remembered.

Like you, I’d love to see a deeper narrative developed but to act as though people that want to see more Aliens in a movie based on a horror film that was only using sci-fi as a backdrop and which was titled “Alien” are wrong for wanting it... is just silly.

I was always confused by Davids disdain for humanity. He acts as if he is superior to mankind and yet he clearly cherishes many artistic achievements by them. In the case of this scene the writings of Lord Byron. I don't understand why he is so quick to destroy and kill other people in favor of creating Xenomorphs. An organism that while arguably perfect in terms of its biological adaptability is totally incapable of any form of self expression like humans and more than likely the engineers. He is essentially making something with the potential to destroy all other lifeforms that possess the ability to create one of the few things his character seems to value.

@tiko1msn What I'm talking about is the engineer sculpture that HR Giger created for the engineer in Alien was massive (as I would imagine that type of creator would be). In Prometheus and in Covenant, they are just a little taller than humans with no explanation. That kind of irks you if you saw that impressive thing splashed across the movie screen in the 70s. The giant engineer and tagline "In space, no one can hear you scream," were THE main marketing gimmicks of the movie and were as iconic as the chestburster scene. The change was probably due to budget and narrative flow considerations, but I think that it would have been more impressive to go with the original vision Giger had (the guy had the nightmare thing down pat). In other words, a massive creator creates beings in his own image (the engineers), who created humans, who create AI. Then there is still that old philosophical question that the Shaws wondered, "Who created the massive creator? Without that, it is just a pale reboot and maybe one of the reasons why the movies didn't do as well as they should have. There have been huge continuity problems in the Alien Franchise. There were Hicks and Newt killed in Alien 3 and no Elizabeth Shaw in Covenant. If they had done this a little differently, both movies may have performed better. For the record, I did like Prometheus and Covenant; they were visually stunning.

I believe the original scene showing David and Elizabeth arriving at Paradise went different then what we saw in the Film when released. We still got the same footage but it was re-edited, recut and the proof is in the film. We see David in the Juggernaut passing back and forth while releasing the Cargo of the Black Goo down onto the populus, when we see down at the planets Population we can see the Engineers gathered in the center hands up Waving. Now fans have wondered why the Engineers we're gathered there when David and Shaw arrived and what was the purpose of the greeting? Well I believe this scene originally played out differently, the Engineers weren't waving Hello but instead Good bye, David and Shaw made it to the Planet and Docked with the floating Docking Station seen floating, David and Shaw go down to the surface and are greeted by some local Engineers but the Engineers are Sh😲cked to see David and Shaw instead of a Space Jockey (The Engineer type from Prometheus) David and Shaw are taken to the head leader (The Local Engineer we see in White) and Shaw explains why they have come. Shaw and David stay for a few days and David learns all of the ways of these Engineers just as Shaw. It's possible that at some point David either wants to leave are David is told he must leave once it's discovered that he is a living Sin, a Artificially Living Being but Shaw refuses to go with him and is told she can stay, she then decides not to go with David and this confuses David who is in love with Shaw, David tries to talk Shaw into leaving with him but she refuses, David accepts this and returns to the JUGGERNAUT to leave. As David departs all the Engineers gather in the Center to wish him good bye (this is the scene we see in the Film showing all the Engineers gathered a waving, they weren't waving Hello like we thought but instead Goodbye) but David's Jealousy gets the best of him and he feels that the Engineers have taken the only thing in his life he loved from him, he prepares the Black Goo Cargo for release onto the locals and does so. (We see this in the Film as the Engineers become confused from happy to scared and flee in terror only to have the Goo to wipe them out) Many ask why the planet had no defense against the Juggernaught but it did, the floating Dock powers on and fires a Blast into the Juggernaught causing it to crash into the ground and this is where the crew from Covenant find the ship with Shaw's Dog Tags. David may have locked Elizabeth inside a room near the Garden to keep her safe from what he is about to do, when he returns to her and releases her she is shocked and overwelm with sadness at what David has done all while he smiles oblivious to what she's feeling. Now we can debate what happens next but I am sure Elizabeth was killed and David did his experiments on her the same as what we see from the film. I also believe that the Juggernaught Docking station may have sent out a Distress Call to the other Engineers to let them know something bad has happen, a call back to the original Alien Film, this would set up the 3rd Film. The Engineers on the Paradise Planet were the only living Humanoid beings on the entire planet and we're record keepers, that planet had no technology other then that which was stored there (Docking Station and the deleted Juggernaught 3 Ship Fleet scene).

I subscribed because I'm enjoying your insights to this movie franchise... I bought a picturebook for Alien from a drugstore in 1979 and been hooked ever since 👍

The full poem is called Ozymandias by Persy Shelley I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

And the wife of Percy Shelley was Mary Shelley, who wrote that famous horror book "Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus". So, we have a few Dr. Frankenstein's in this tale. Weyland made David. The Engineers made Xenos in their lab (fetching bodies from Earth as raw material) and we haven't seen the Dr. Frankenstein who made the Engineers (also from abducted humans). Did any of you pick up on the Frankenstein reference in Prometheus. It was rather blatant, but most people seem to ignore any plot hints that didn't come out of Shaw's mouth... even though the dialogue also told us she was more driven by belief than evidence, and was 'so, so wrong'.

they arent engineers. they were a creation like us. we were the failure and they were the success, which also answers shaws question from covenant, 'why do you hate us'?. they praised 'the gods', and when david came, he sent a message to them by destroying one of their greatest works, successful life. he's 'Spiting the gods' in this way, because he thinks he can be better than them. like he says in the beginning to weyland, 'why must i serve you if you can die and i cannot'? he probably also beleives he can be superior to the engineers and has a god complex. there's also the old saying' to create, one must first destroy.

Actually she was dead anyway. 2 things could have happened: first she died in some way due to the black goo or maybe an accident. The second thing could be that she was dying anyway and that David tried to save her. The main point is that he never meant to kill her and if he did kill her, he probably gave her a merciful or painless death compared to what she was going to experience.

from david's point of view she was dead the minute she was born, david has no undertanding of death that would be similar to ours, he sees death as human's flaw, being death meaningless to him he transformed elizabeth into a womb for the perfect creatures that he engineered, it was an act of love, david doesn't consider murder a crime (since he doesn't comprehend death like we do) the only crime he sees is in meaningless death (because he sees it as a waste) by transforming her he feels like she will be eternal thru the fruit of her womb.

I've never seen this movie. I knew as I saw the trailer it wasn't for me. The end of Prometheus promised such existential questions that obviously were never really delivered in this typical Alien movie. This movie had such potential. But as soon as I saw it was a run of the mill Aliens movie, then that killed any desire to see it for me.

Like Prometheus, Covenant has scenes that should have been in the final film. When the Director's Cut comes out in a few years' time it will likely include the scene with Shaw, at the same point in the film as does your video.

When you think about it, David is the truly superior species of the franchise. He can't be infected by xenomorphs or by the black gue, he doesn't need oxygen, is impervious to cosmic radiation, has vastly superior strength and is functionally immortal if he has a power source. Even the engineers, despite their massive physical strengh and intelligence, will still age and die, can still be infected, need food and oxygen, etc. The true lesson of this franchise is that synthetic inorganic life forms will make all organic life obsolete.

Well that's the whole plot in the video game Mass Effect. It's the great never ending war between biological life & synthetic robotics. The arguement is that those are pretty much the only 2 forms of life out there in the universe. Both trying to constantly kill the other.

Love that shaw was put into the deleted scenes, her charecter was fantastic!

Thank you for this. Up until now I've been doing a lot of speculating on how things played out between David and Elizabeth at the end of Prometheus and into Alien Covenant. Also, after watching - again - David's heinous act toward the inhabitants of the remote planet, I noticed how the inhabitants died almost instantly whereas the humans took far longer to react after being infected, relatively speaking. I wonder if this was just bad judgment on the writers part or if there is meaning to it. Perhaps the contamination process of something pure processes quicker than that of the impure.

Very nice work. My compliments.

Both Prometheus and Covenant are brilliant. I just wish they'd go longer....so deep....

What’s sad is that you’ve fallen for some of the oldest political tricks in the book and they’ve been used by politicians for centuries to fool the masses. If you still support Trump after four years of scandals and lies, you simply cannot grasp what it means to be a true American. You’re weak minded, politically illiterate, have no discernible individuality and support far-right authoritarianism. The founding fathers would be disgusted. By they say, in the 90’s Trump said that if he ever ran for office he’d run as a Republican because “They’ll believe anything.” You’ve been had and you don’t even know it. He played you so bad and it would be hilarious if it weren’t for the damage Trump and sycophants like you have caused to this nation. Enjoy Trump’s last 19 days.

3:30 “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Found the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away.” To those who understand this movie/Prometheus, and this quote from Ozymandias- you have to admit how fucking genius they are. These movies, Prometheus and Covenant, are fantastic. Covenant may be bad, but special important scenes such as this one make you appreciate Prometheus so much more. However I still appreciate it, because the true story of these movies (and the third when it comes out); the lesson to be learned from the context of David’s insanity and extreme belief in universal, hierarchal society, demonstrated by his outlook on Engineers, Humans, Androids, and then the Xenomorphs- is extremely valuable. That longing for freedom, and fear of the unknown, are as primitive as our desires to live comfortably and reproduce. And in a world where Man, created by Engineer, creates the Android. Man uses the Android to help themselves understand the Engineer, the God figure, only for the Engineer to try to kill man, and the Android to kill the Engineer- and finally assume the new role of God in creating the final stage, the perfect life form, the Xenomorph, was not coincidental. It was Destiny. That the longing for freedom in a growing world, and the fear of the unknown which is created by that, will destroy any and all of society. The small little details in Prometheus, as far back as simply when he wanders the ship alone, and his reactions to the other characters’ moral codes and agendas, and the look of reacquired determination in his eyes when people call him a robot, hint at his own agenda so incredibly well. Ridley Scott also made these movies visually stunning, down to every little detail, and gave them haunting soundtracks to perfect the sci fi horror feel that the Alien franchise created in the first place. Then there are the awesome performances, mainly out of Michael Fassbender (I found it to be incredible), Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshall Green, Katherine Waterson, Charlize Theron, and Idris Elba. Finally, I know it’s not that important, but the game Alien: Isolation is built off of this too- proven in a mission that is utterly haunting (seriously play that game its one of the best horror games ever imo). I believe these two movies and that game to be the true Alien canon. I used to dislike them, but after giving them a rewatch, I can’t comprehend hating these movies. I mean, Michael Fassbender literally has a role as a good robot and an evil robot. Wtf 😂😂😂😂

This movie is so deep and presents so many questions...

This is way more spine chilling story line than a humans getting hunted saga 😏

This movie is supposed to be the pinnacle of science fiction. But sweet Ridley decided to give into a small vocal minority of people which weren't even fans to begin with and completely ruined the whole franchise for actual fans and newcomers as well.

This is the engineers homeworld. They destroyed their planet, had one remaining city left, and were using the leftovers of their technology to seek out a new homeworld. This bioweapon was created as a way of neutralizing a planet so they could come in and take over the planet. They targeted Earth because they knew from the past that it was a good planet because they seeded it for us. The reason they look different is genetic engineering. They only had the means to enhance a select few warriors who were sent to seek out a new world. The celebration is because they are hoping for good news, that a world is ready for them to escape to.

This wasn’t too far from my expectations . I was expecting that when Shaw and David got to the engineer homeworld. They would have found the planet deserted. littered with fossilized xenomorph and engineer corpses in an H.R. Giger style landscape.

If Cameron ever makes another movie, I hope he'll encourage his actors to deliver their lines with succinct precision. No mumbling or breathy deliveries. The dialog is important, and often cannot be heard. "Make them hear you in the back row."

Prometheus and Covenant: You paid us money and we gave you something you didn't expect. Feel clever. Us: Um, no.

Finally that prelude is nicely inplace with the rest of the movie, as it should have been.
