David , commonly known as David, is a fictional character featured in the Alien franchise, portrayed by Michael Fassbender. I trust Ridley to drive the bus only to make a beautiful movie but managing plot,script and story telling he is bound for the ditch. If you were surprised when the synthetic at the end of the movie turned out to be the evil, British David and not the kind, bland Walter, then you haven't seen a lot of movies, have you? He even admired her for her willingness to live, when she survived the vivisection. This is all in service of distracting us for the climax of the movie as we wonder if Walter is David and if so, why is David pretending to be Walter after getting on the ship?What the ending doesn’t explain: how the xenomorphs got to LV-426, the planetoid the Nostromo crew discovered in.Click the button below and wait for a message from our Facebook bot in Messenger!Awesometacular: Jeremy Jahns Talks 'King Arthur' Box Office Flop,'Twin Peaks': The 10 Best Episodes of the Original Series, Ranked.COLLIDER participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means COLLIDER gets paid commissions on purchases made through our links to retailer sites.

I would say, studios are stagnating and they are anxious - look at their grip on producers. If this is what David sees in humanity, then surely we are those miserable ants.I can see you have missed the fundamental point I was making. David wild with rage destroys the Engineers and the ships crash is caused by a clash with the doc and rams itself into the mountain side. Just that, most of them lack finess and production quality at the moment but that is okay, as natural selection will make its work over time.I suppose, over time, studios with their out of time strategies will go through harsh times. Certainly not content creators. Two months before Alien: Covenant's May 2017 release, The Sydney Morning Herald reported on a set visit with director Ridley Scott.

This is not an attack on you as you have nothing to do with the movie, but at the same time, because of this, you can admit that there is this hard question which is actually being skipped over.

That is one of several options for creating a protagonist to David. Without any critical tension or mediation within him he is dramatically done - just a mad robot. Rich people will want to eradicate those chromosomes in their gene pools that would lead to some human ailments of their prospective children.

The Alien prequel timeline spans hundreds of thousands of years in its entirety and, as its opening shows Peter Weyland bringing David to life, Covenant itself manages to cover the better part of a century. If Ridley is only as good as a screenplay can allow him to be, I hope Hampton Fancher does not produce complete garbage, although I rather expect them to fail miserably.Forgive me but you sir Ridley Scott needs to get some help or just hang it up.. Tearing things apart is one element putting them back together is another.You mention the lack of the docking vehicle that all goes with what happened between the dispersal and hitting the mountain side (wild guess's and speculation).

So, while "hate" is an explanation, it is not the whole story. Grandiose characters who can back up their words don't mess around.Its good to see someone else actually view the XXX121 for what it really is and to recognise in the imagined world that if you want to pursue the inherent logic of curiosity it would not be the fixation with the creature which always gets blasted into space but its creation myth (not just who created that one).The audience or a part of it wanted the Xenomorph to be placed centrally within the prequel narrative and to place motivation and creation in a wider sense on the periphery.In ten years time when all this is history those whom reflect on the potential of Prometheus and look back from a dispassionate point of view will sadly recognise a substantial opportunity will have been missed to do something audacious and genuinely thought provoking.I have now completed reading the novelisation which has some interesting and distinct ways of moving the narrative in the third act and does not box the next film in, in the way the film has but you cannot get over the inescapable fact that the Beast,I'm currently reading the novel, and finding it quite enlightening.

The book is much closer to that narrative vision than the film Elizabeth is cremated and her ashes kept by David in memoriam rather than the ghoulish corpse. But why the hate?

Rather than simply observe that substantial amounts of the narrative momentum of Prometheus are missing or that David is now a one dimensional mad robot I prefer to go further and say and here is what in my view would be much better. Alien Covenant: David's Drawings will satisfy every serious fan's hunger for details of the most intriguing character from the Alien prequels. He might not even bother to toss a coin, unless he is forced. But what this analysis tells about the question? In space, no one can hear the stupid. We are curious and on her side with David I just want it over.I really would like to know the timeline:Did Prometheus end....David and Shaw arrive at the world and just drop the 'bombs'?
