Both Prometheus and Covenant were very interesting and the plot twist about androids was phenomenal and very inteligent, since androids lack "soul/emotions", therefore why they could be responsible for "ehm".

It’s the “new forms” that gets me. This isn’t pokemon; we don’t need new creatures to watch, we just need new stories involving the one set up in the first two movies. Maybe that’s just me I also really dislike the black goo and the creation of the xenomorph that was set up in prometheus and covenant. I didn’t mind it at first, but over the years it’s felt worse and worse. It ruined the mystery behind both the xenomorph and the space jockey

@RaikenXion

3 ай бұрын

I like the idea of the black goo, but ONLY as a replicating, "John Hammond Jurassic Park" type of method, of replicating a version of a already pre-existing, ancient creature. Don't forget the Mural in Prometheus does still strongly suggest David replicated his own version, that was close to the original thing that existed eons ago, and was discovered by the Engineers. I prefer the idea the engineers themselves just found a way to create a more "Viral Bomb" method stored in those urns, of the biomechanical *Xenomorph*, because originally handling the actual eggs became too dangerous. that's the general idea i've always stuck to in my own headcanon which makes Prometheus and Covenant work well as prequels to the o.g. masterpiece ALIEN. But it always needed just one more sequel - "Alien: Awakening" to really connect those dots properly and explain what the Engineers were all about, while the ancient Xenomorphic creature could still remain completely mysterious. It's a shame Ridley lost the plot abit, preferring to delve more into David and A.I. instead of properly connecting the movies.

But unfortunately, she's 74, and I just don't see her strapping on the old M-41 pulse rifle at this point. I'd like to see her make an appearance in the upcoming television series, but as a different character... Like I'd like to see her playing like a ruthless Weyland-Yutani researcher or one an evil corporate executive, something like that.

What sounds good about it is how it is suppose to tie into alien and the prequels. I hear its suppose to set up something that plays out in Aliens.

There are so many questions that are not answered. So when Prometheus came out I was happy to see that it answered all my questions. Most people didn't like it because they really needed to pay attention. All the answers are there. The Extended version with all the outtakes is the perfect film.

Maybe I'm way off, but I don't credit David for 'creating' the Xenomorph. I think the black goo in Prometheus serves as kind of a... nanotechnological monster template, which can be used to create a variety of Xenomorph and xeno-adjacent creatures.

It sounds to me like the plot of an Alien video game rather than a film. In fact it sounds very similar to Alien Isolation, stumbling across a deserted space station that the aliens are loose on. I once read the leaked unused scripts for Alien 3 and most of them had more interesting stories than this. In fact the David Twohy one, a standalone plot with all new characters set on an orbiting prison satellite, would actually be worth dusting off and filming.

Interestingly Prey did not receive a cinema release in any territory, and no one is talking the numbers from week two on wards as Hulu discovered what the term "front end load" means. AR is getting a cinema release which indicates the Studio is confident this one is going to be a commercial success. The problem with the Alien franchise is no one is finding the Xeno frightening anymore and we basically get the same tropes movie after movie. My concern is they are going down the Jaws route, if a large shark is frightening to audiences (movie 1) then lets make them even larger, and hey they can roar, movie 2 to movie 4. This falls more into the realms of self parody than improving on what we have seen previously.

Not that the crew would be able to destroy it if/when things go pear-shaped (if they were overwhelmed, doubtful they could self-destruct it like the Nostromo was). However, I have a feeling W-Y would try to salvage it (for he research), or "nuke it from orbit" so that no one else could get it. I dunno....just seems off, to me.

I could understand maybe a W-Y ship sneaking in right after Aliens and grabbing the queen since she was simply flushed into space near LV-426, but the original thing was supposed to have been vaporized by the shuttle engines out in the middle of deep space.

My worry is that alien was paced very slow and its more artsy even for its time than anyone would think to give it credit for. Aliens was a product of its time as well, its a lot like all james cameron films of that era. Generally speaking none of the reboots of classic films live up to the nostalgia we have for them or their quality. The modern "good filmmaking" becomes very obviously poor when you've got something genius with "outdated filmmaking" to compare it to. I think studios just want to follow a formula and follow expectations with no regard for quality of the artistic work. I'd really rather have more prometheus films with less studio meddling and input. Less forced xenomorphs, less throwbacks to alien, and less CGI. Both were fascinating and beautiful films.

I had the exact same experience for covenant, I went into a cinema expecting another deep and philosophical film but instead got a super generic gore / bore fest. I hope this is at least fun.

them finding the xeno in space floating can be explained by 2 things...one ripley could have been found but they didnt want to find her because she was a witness and they didnt really care about her...and two they used predator tech to scan and find it

I think we should wait and see. Give it a chance. See it as a whole. I really like this director and I love how he has gone more gritty with this. It’s what an Alien film needs. It’s not a family/Disney film! Can’t wait to see.

Oh you're dead right buddy. I look forward to seeing it and hope I enjoy the film but it's still fun to analyse what we see and know so far objectively at least 😁

One thing that I could never figure out. It seems implied that David made the Xenomorphs. Or that they came from the engineer that was attacked and the Deacon came from that and is a precurser. But in Prometheous the was a figure sculped on the wall that was a Queen or a Drone. So the Xenomorphs existed before David was involved. How does this all work? The trilobyte that impregnated the engineer, Davids experiments and the Xenomorphs from before can't all possibly be linked because they came from 3 different scources. Anyone?

A good point to bring up @BlackAdder1970. I always interpreted it as the goo was created by the engineers and they learnt it's secrets long ago. They most likely experimented with it and created the xenomorph as well and using the goo for other utilities. As you say, they had a mural on the wall depicting this that was built maybe thousands of years prior to Prometheus. Who knows but hinging the perfect organisms creation on David's experiments was daft to me. Surely he only stumbled upon the goo's potential?

@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Yes. It still doesn't explain how the Deacon came from the Engineer at the end of Prometheous

If it doesn't reinforce the ORIGINAL canon and fix the GARBAGE that was both Prometheus and Covenant, I'm not interested. And, so far, if the "how the xenomorph ended up on a station" is accurate, it's complete BS and utterly defies the events that led up to Aliens. This is going to be stupid. It sounds like the only thing they are doing is using the alien character and heavier gore to make a quick dollar from the shallow public.

Yep, I agree. It sucks that they feel the need to to dumb down in rapid succession the original concept with imbecilic ridiculousness. It was better when the Xenimorph alien was a naturally evolutionary species encountered, instead of a bioweapon created by a god-complexed android and a black goo manipulated by space engineers. Preposterous!

My issue with Prometheus and Covenant was never the aesthetics - sometimes a juxtaposition elevates the tension - but rather the fact that both films were populated with idiots who behaved irrationally, and in many cases completely against their stated character motivations or even against their own interests. Add in the garbage explanation of the engineers and David being responsible for the Xenos… ugh.

I don't agree it's far-fetched that they find 'big chap'. Today on earth we track space debris down to the size of tennis balls. So in future, surely scanners would find an 8ft tall creature in an area they know the Nostromo blew-up in.

I think they showed way too much in the last trailer... and I agree with your point, I think that prometheus and covenant ruined the mystery behind the creature´s origin with cheap sci fi magic black goo, idk I prefer to keep that unknown, or find a better origin.

Interestingly, they kept those aspects out of the recent trailer so we still have no idea how much the film will invest in the prequel logic. The goo and engineer narrative haven't done much justice for the Alien franchise of late 😞

Sounds disappointing to me. The research station has already been done. Sadly we will never get closure in how the juggernaut ended up where it did with a bay full of eggs. The idea was Scott to finish the saga. That was supposed to be the end game for Scott. This sound disappointing at best. I will be taking a pass.

Prometheus was a start, introducing the engineers and their use of the juggernauts as a transport for weapons of mass destruction. The black goo was a bad idea, there was none of this in the original ship in alien, just a chamber full of eggs /facehuggers. Covenant just perpetuated the joke with a particularly insipid lead female - I thought Karine Oram had more about her than Daniels
