same here brother, ALIEN "tickled" something very special within^^... Event Horizon, Alien...perhaps its coz of my love and admiration for the artist that made all this possible in the 1st place: Hans Ruedi Giger. The man with the (artistical) vision and plan. I was born 1973 and watched Alien for the first time ever in like 1983 or so, I was IMMEDIATELY in love/scared to death/blown away by every aspect of the film!

Prometheus and Covenant set up a point that seemingly nobody has picked up upon. The 'Engineers' are based upon the ancient myth of the Annunaki, whom were giants from another planet that created humans by accelerating the evolution of apes and infusing it with their own DNA. This is evident from the fact that in Prometheus, the humans have the same DNA as the 'engineers'. The story we seen in Prometheus - and partially in Covenant - are a very modern and re-fitted imagination of the Epic of Gilgamesh, mixed with other ancient lore. The Epic of Gilgamesh is about the hero, Gilgamesh, his companion, Enkidu, and Gilgamesh's quest to find fame and immortality. Along the way, they encounter otherworldly individuals and complete several impressive feats that anger the gods. In this case, Weyland, essentially, is Gilgamesh, and Enkidu, is David. In the mythology, there were the igigi, young beings of the 'annunaki', that rebelled against them. as a result, they created humans, in order to do their labor and work. Enlil wanted a slave race of beings and insisted on placing a worship gene within humans.This is exactly what Weyland also wanted and built, and created a 'worship gene' within his creation - david. That very much became clear in 'Covenant', where he ordered David to make him tea, and he could not resist. It set the stage. In this case, Weyland also was Enlil. Enlil appointed Enki in actually 'making' the humans. Enki put the essence of the annunaki and aswell gave man a soul, he wanted humanity to be superior to the annunaki. Weyland claims David does not have a soul. It seems however, this is not entirely true from the way covenant also goes down. He is clearly not like the other 'robotic' drone androids. The exact fate of the Igigi after the creation of humans can vary depending on the specific Mesopotamian myth or text being referenced. In some accounts, the Igigi were banished to the underworld or were forced to live in a separate realm apart from the affairs of humans and the higher-ranking gods. another aspect is about Marduk's anger Marduk, the Enlil of the gods, got angry. His mind became furious. He made an evil plan to disperse the land and its peoples.His angry heart was bent on leveling the land and destroying its people. A grievous curse formed in his mouth.Evil portents indicating the disruption of heavenly harmony. This is clearly what David 'became'. Now, obviously it doesnt follow the story to the letter, but it takes a whole bunch of elements, mixes and fuses it to create it's own story. This is what religion has done too, the Noah story is a literal steal from the Epic of Gilgamesh and the flood. There is also a lot of Christian and Judaic lore in the movie too. The 'jesus messiah and Armageddon in particular. There is a hint towards Jesus, as there is a claim that the 'engineers' wanted to go to Earth 2000 years before. Mostly however, it might revolve around the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 by the Romans. It's interesting that the planet Shaw and David go to, had very clear Roman-esque design, btw. But regarding to the Armageddon lore, there is a text in the bible (revelations) saying : let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: It is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred and threescore and six (666). Ridley scott very much spoke about the Alien as 'the beast'. that people wanted to see 'the beast' (covenant). The 'xeno' is based upon human infection, making it the result of human 'a human number'. David, was supposedly an ancient king, a king that would slay down the giant Goliath. There is a clear link here too, even though ironically, it was Goliath that took David's head in 'prometheus'. At the same time, when everybody was scared of Goliath, David (supposedly) stood up against the tyrant, which is essentilally what we see in both Prometheus and Covenant. David was a man of bloodshed, easily angered, and obsessed with a 'god complex'. He also committed adultery and murdered the husband of his 'lover'. David, in prometheus, 'fell in love' with Elizabeth Shaw, and killed her husband by putting him 'in the frontline' - he knew he'd die by his actions ( the black goo ). Indirectly, David impregnated shaw creating 'their' offspring. David caused a child with Bathsheba, but the child was cursed. Shaw's child, was clearly 'cursed'. Just like shaw decided to stay with david, bathsheba stayed with david, despite being responsible for the death of the husband, their true love. David later had other children with Bathsheba, one of them became king solomon, who was 'wise' and had thousands of wives. David killed and used the corpse of Shaw to create 'his offspring', the 'beast', the 'xeno', which could produce thousands of offspring (thanks to the covenant ship). Matter of fact, david took control of the covenant in the jewish lore. in the movie, david, in the end, takes control of the covenant. in the story of prometheus, prometheus supposedly was a hero that stole fire from the gods and brought it to mankind. this essentially is a metaphor of bringing 'knowledge' and 'wisdom' or 'intelligence' from the gods to man. that's essentially the same we see over and over again regarding lucifer, but also in the annunaki and other stories. As a punishment, prometheus, the titan, would have his liver eaten out by an eagle, alive, and die, and be ressurrected every day. in his 'ted talk', Peter weyland claims, that since they can create 'artificial life' ( the androids ), 'they are the gods now'. If you then finally analyze every story in history, it's essentially all every time a copy-paste and repeat. That's essentially what the whole lore seems to e about. The annunaki also had creators. Simply put, the engineers, are not the creators. That much became clear in Prometheus too. They are simply 'creations' that made their own 'creations' : mankind. And mankind created another creation : Artificial beings ( androids , artificial intelligence ). The artificial beings themselves also try to repeat that and create their own offspring : david tries to recreate the aliens. every time, the 'offspring' rebel against their masters.

@@jdfoster23 regarding how much mythology is implemented into the alien universe, which also includes the 'blade runner' movie(s) AND the predator franchise (supposedly), and Weyland's comment 'i refuse to believe we are the byproduct of random chance and accidents', one would have to lean towards 'something' in that direction, somehow. that said, the mythology also is set up very grounded. though very dark in atmosphere (that goes for blade runner aswell), one would also have to note that there should obviously also be a side we never saw, and likely never get to see, which is very 'light'. the alien universe (including blade runner) are very much thriller-noir-horror. so there's no room for anything else. still, going to the 'lighter' side, there are elements of that. The including of the cat, and that the cat survives and has a good life. Bishop and Walter meaning well. The (mistaken) human concept of good vs evil like there is some 'super good god-being' and some 'super evil god-being' of religious mythology is present in the real life. since clearly the myhtology is based upon that, it's reasonable that there will be some 'lore' there too. what 'kind' of 'being' or 'OG being' that is, and whether that is even something capable of portraying or imagining is another story though.

Shaw is an incredible charachter. Probably even more iconic than Ripley. Not only a scientist but an absolute badass!!! She didnt deserve what David did to her😔

The Engineer's explanation of Jesus would answer why the Bible only mentions his childhood once and then he is 30 years old.

Second script makes sense, they should have done that to give continuity to Alien.

appreciate the longer video, I really love the prequel lore. they cut a lot of crucial information out of the story just to keep it at around the 2hr mark. it would be nice to continue the story after covenant maybe in comic or video game form to really flush it out, but a series would be best because they have this idea of keeping the movies around 2hrs with no extended directors cut

Ehm ... Ackghtually, the LV22:3 translation says that *_"If_*_ the offerings (by the Israelites) are touched (by the descendants of Aaron, a.k.a. the priests) _*_while_*_ (that priest) being unclean (sick or unwashed or deviled) _*_then_*_ that person (the priest) must be 'separated' (fired from priesthood/banished from society)"_ . So not that the touching itself turns the priest unclean. That would be kinda ridiculous, as the offerings were demanded (by god) to serve as meals for the priests. If they wouldn't be allowed to touch these offerings at all then the priests wouldn't be allowed to eat, meaning that the priests all would've st4rv3d to d34th after a few weeks

@@Puppy_Puppington I can't say that I know if Disney owns Deadpool x Wolverine or not. What I do know is that the recent Predator movie (Prey) was a dumpster fire. Not because the lead role was a woman, not because of the time period or the setting, but because at it's core,it was/is moronic. Spoiler, the Predator was killed basically by its own stupidity. A creature that is the top of the line killer in all the universe is basically killed off by Home Alone traps. The Alien movie's prior to the new one were terrible as well for similar reasons. Disney's Star Wars movie's have managed to do the impossible too. That being taking a franchise that is literally a license to print money as long as the plots were believable and the acting not wooden and running it into apathy. I don't like them. I don't hate them. I just don't care about them anymore. Surely you remember at least a handful of movies and can say to yourself that they're light years better than anything today.

GOAT is back ❤

Dr Shaw never lost her faith….. that’s why she survived the ordeal on LV423

All they have to do in the universe is make it so that engineers transcend, wait out the big crunch for the next big bang, and then return to create engineers and xenomorphs again repeating the cycle. The xenomorphs allow the engineers to reproduce when they lose that ability and the cycle just repeats

great vid

David will never find the Engineers' homeland for they have evolved to ethereal ( non-material ) beings as shown in Prometheus film.

On planet 4 the people are not terrified by the ship at sight, so maybe the different ships do not define factions.

The Deacon’s lore and the Engineer’s beliefs of Sacrifice kinda reminds me of the ritual that an evil group was trying to perform in the Silent Hill franchise with Alessa. How her own mother and the group tried to use her a sacrifice vessel in order to revive the God they worshipped.

Thanks for drawing me back into an old favorite.

I love Prometheus and Covenant. I know they have their issues. People make very valid points about plot holes and everything else. But I don't know I just really dig it. It was such a fresh new story. Its so interesting. Like it could almost be real. The concepts have so much potential. For someone who "knows in e.t. life" it was something I've been waiting for. If they would've went with the original ideas and concepts for Prometheus and really leaned into it, I believe it could've been the best sci-fi film. Im hoping the new Alvarez film does incredible in theaters so they get motivated and return to these 2 films. But staying away from the zenomorphs as much as possible. So its not a horror film but a sci-fi film. Just really doing a storyline completely on the Engineers. Even better would be a series instead of a film. If only lol

This is blowing my mind, finally this all makes sense.

Great video

Love it! A prequel of a prequel, is needed! lol
