And in Aliens when the Queen showed up and was an even bigger rear end in a top hat.

I was wondering who commissioned this. http://imgur.com/R3GRTNT If that's a quote from a Covenant clip that hasn't been released to the general public, please don't do that.

That's so nice. haha, I love the title saying the mission was a disaster due to "a deadly pathogen", that's a great way to think of capitalists! As much as I dig the Ozymandias, the best line is David's "I learned of their ways . ." perfect set-up for what follows. Which isn't a spoiler, I mean what did we think was gonna happen when they finally confronted elysium?

There will be no survivors this time. I'm only guessing based off of Ridley saying if we want monsters then we're gonna sure as hell gonna get em.

Black Bones posted:Here it is proper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeMVrnYNwus&t=16s I guess we just have to wait and see to find why David goes full genocide on the Engineers? Also I could've sworn the leaked photos classified elysium as an Engineer outpost, but looks like it really is their homeworld. Wonder if David gets clever and starts recalling other ships to complete his clean sweep.

Working on staying away from all promotion material for Prometheus 2. I followed Prometheus 1 pretty hard and quite let down. I'm giving Ridley one more shot to totally rip off his movies to make a name for himself.

I hope Scott gives us a good reason (not just that he's 'evil' or 'insane') for David's actions, particularly in regard to his inevitable treatment of Shaw. It was clear in Prometheus why he wanted to gently caress over Holloway and Weyland (did he ever do anything directly undermine Vickers...I want to say he did but I don't recall) and was pretty indifferent to the rest of the crew...but he seems to have a particular bond with Shaw, especially after she fixes him in that clip. If I had to guess based on that clip and the other leaks, I'd say he learns something heinous about the engineers during the journey that causes him to treat them with enough contempt to drop black goo bombs all over them right away to "protect her/humanity". He wakes up Shaw afterward and is all "well we're here...hmmm for some reason they're all loving dead, I guess there are no answers for you after all." At some point she figures out what he did and tries to turn on him, he gets the better of her, and she becomes one of his experiments as well as shattering his last bit of faith in humanity. So when the Covenant shows up he has nothing but full on contempt for humans too.

My dudes, this prologue summarizes the events of Prometheus. Like, that movie is when David learns the ways of these "gods". I doubt that there will be anything new to discover about the Engineers, other than that they had a capital city or wore such and such style of cloak or w/e

Curious why all the engineers in hats decided to all gather in one open area to get peed on. Did david phone in first to let them know he was coming? I guess he does speak their language.

I don't think Shaw knows that David is directly responsible for the Prometheus hijinks, or even for the mutation & death of her boyfriend. Edit: Despera posted:He tells her in the walk to the engineer that he did it Welp, I guess it's been longer than I thought since my last viewing of Prometheus. But that does elevate her decision to amazingly dumb instead of just typical horror movie dumb. Mat Cauthon fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Apr 27, 2017 |

David and Weyland were like "LOL" And of course there was the "congrats on your baby squidbeast" line from David.

I'm guessing that David declares is love to Shaw, is rejected, and turns her into some horrific experiment.

wyoming posted:Because he could. That's a cute response, but that was Holloway's narrow minded opinion, not David's. In fact, what we're shown supports the idea that David has the clearest vision of the capital-T Truth, but chooses not to share his insight with the audience or the crew. He rejects Holloway's world view. Despera posted:Well Davids first meeting with an engineer didnt go very well It actually turned out pretty well for him: Weyland died and by doing so gave him the agency and self determination he lacked.

By the end of the first film Shaw knows David is dangerous, but doesn't really hold it against him since she recognizes his slavery. She's not stupid, she's emphatic. Plus he is the only means for her to reach the gods and make them answer for what they've done.

Despera posted:Im guessing he never unsleeps her in a sort of reverse "Passengers". There's basically no chance that she doesn't end up spawning a Xenomorph in some fashion. Like some sort of horrifying body-horror she-is-the-first-egg thing where he repaid her compassion by giving her the worst kind of immortality.

Holy poo poo you guys usually can't shut up about comics and here James Stokoe comes and drops one of the most beautifully drawn Alien comics out there and not a word or hint of warning from this thread? Crazy.  If you haven't heard of Stokoe go read Orc Stain and Godzilla: Half Century War.
