The Covenant follows Shaw's signal to Paradise, an uncharted forest planet and homeworld of the Engineers...

David is clearly trying to create the *perfect* organism thus the new ones are weaker than the original alien. Why would it be a powerup ? Unless the headbutt alien from the trailer is very high tier.

Sometimes I wonder what it is like to live in a homogeneous community surrounded by people who are similar to me. I bet the engineers don't have to write race war fantasy novels to ease the burden of living near nigger engineers. That city looks great, a nice walk-able environment with no diversity. Walk is a great way to keep the pounds off. It is why the engineers are in such good shape. They get their cardio in going to the office. With no niggers around I bet they can walk the streets without fear of random violence.

But isn't the whole new idea:
A huge sense of jealousy for hundreds of years cannot be healthy. Surely they had their own issues.

The neomorph in Prometheus came from Holloway who was infected with goop having sex with Shaw, who birthed the tentacle monster that then impregnated another crew member to create the neomorph, like a weird reverse chest bursting. That's when the film ended though so we have little indication of what these little raptor fuckers are capable of.

you mean the fucking deacon

which is just going to be ignored completely

t. Rey Mixer

Huh. I thought it was going to be a shallow remake of Alien with just some vague references to Prometheus. This might be okay.

They got bored and created a race of black predators that killed everyone.

Ridley Scott is a good director, but idk, fam, the trailer was bad. Also, the actors are trash. Fucking James Franco and that fat fuck from Tropic Thunder? Eh…

If the deacon is made from the combo of engineer and shaw's own vagina spawn wouldn't it be stronger than xenos?
I wonder what burst from the original space jockey

...

why would it make that face?
it has to know what it looks like… I'm going to guess it is mentally unstable.

They put James Franco in this? Here's hoping he gets chestbursted real quick, at least they made him shave off that ugly pube moustache for this

Will she have a Ripleyesque walking around in lil panties scene?

I've seen better fan fiction.

Holy shit, that violent sex scene. I didn't expect to whip out my dick during Inherent Vice.

There's two alien sequel threads now. Maybe keep them in one place

Who gives a shit?

People who ain't denegenerate fucks living without order and common sense.

Engineers from thousands of years ago wanted to destroy Earth. So Shaw genocides an entire planet of aliens that may not even know that humans exist. Some hero.

Only way to quarantee your species' survival in instellar scale is to destroy everyone else sapient first. Preferrably with a large projectile before they even know you exist. Engineers fucked up by not destroying humans when they had the chance.

That's not really applicable to this situation since the Engineers directly or indirectly created humans. This is more of a case of them trying to terminate an experiment that got out of hand somehow and failing to do so.

Have you been here around GoT or Star wars airings ?
Is this your first post here ?

what the fuck is this shit? like dragon ball power levels?

Planet names.

Humanity was a mistake.

Why would anyone in his right mind do something this stupid?

pastebin.com/66qntM33

If Prometheus is anything to go by its SOP to just take off your helmet as soon as you determine the air is breathable.

I know, right?

They revealed too much about the Engineers too soon. Now I don't give a fuck, I want to see who was above them. The whole point of ancient alien civilizations is to see them as otherworldy gods. Now they just seem like vulcans or something.

To progress the plot.

meh

You missed the important part.
The Alien universe has FTL. More importantly humanity/Earth is an Engineer experiment of some sort. Even if the experiment has failed or got out of hand chances are that they would want to terminate the experiment in some fashion that would allow them to gather useful data or preserve what they can, not just nuke it from orbit.

That is wrong. Ridley directly said that the experiment we saw at the start of prometheus was not necessarily earth.

alien-covenant.com/news/engineers-did-not-create-humanity-or-xenomorph

So you can now drop the shitmetheus theories down the toilet.

...

Looking better than the crappy alien retreating of the earlier trailers. Still I feel that a Shaw and David mystery adventure film would have been much better than yet more horror. The alien formula is just so stale at this point.

Well, this is not standard formula. This is the *david is ridiculously overpowered, wipes off a world and creates life* formula.
Not sure if it will be good or not, but seems interesting so far.

I'll take interesting. Don't usually pay to see movies, anyway.

Those giant ones actually have a name. They're called "Ultramorphs" or "Jockaliens"

engineers created the humans, humans created the androids.

it's poetry.

Are Blade Runner and Alien in the same fictional universe?

That was shitmetheus. But see here:

Engineers did not create humanity. That is already established. It was just a cool theme for prometheus.

Woah, woah, woah, so David literally wipes out an entire planet?!? Why?

Either that or *we must push buttons* like in shitmetheus.

Prometheus would have been kino with a few minor changes.

So do you think Shaw will live?

Nope. A ton needs to be changed.

I see there being either a retarded cliffhanger at the end where they realize that David wanted to preserve her for a reason (either preventing her from knowing of his sins or he wanted to build a certain kinda world for her) or he did something to her with the goo and there's a third part revelation where they find her mutated and locked down in David's personal rape dungeon or something.

Nah. He liked her, he probably made her an alium queen.

The Engineers were cylons?
the cryo-thing looks like the cylon hybrid's tub

Yeah, that's what I mean with the "mutated and locked down in David's personal rape dungeon." part.

If all this alien shit keeps fucking killing everyone, why not just send a crew entirely of robots instead?

This isn't even porn.

Didn't the supposed leak say David used Shaw as a guinea pig and experimented on her with the goo?

GOOED

is that what there called now…

...

Why is this always a thing? You can have a planet just like Earth you fucks. In fact, it's probably one of the more likely outcomes of a habitable world.

...

Yes it is. I don't care about the tentacles there, but if you don't find the xenomorph there arousing then you are probably a homo.

Shaw being revealed as a mutated alien queen or something similar at the climax of the film would be perfect, given that in Prometheus a big part of her character was that she was barren. It would be so twisted if she finally had the children she wanted but it was as some monstrous she-beast ala Aliens or Resurrection.

Even more stupid, why didnt the engineers just started an orbital bombardment on earth instead of makign a biological weapon that was so dangerous to themselves?

Explain that to Star Wars fucks

Because they suck alone or become fucked up like david.

It's a pretty good theme when you think about it. Fierce, genocidal war between children.
Wonder what the aliens will do besides kill stuff. Might have even more symbolism shoved in there.

Earth is one in a billion odds. There's planets made completely out of diamond and planets made out of gas. "single thing" planets are more common, however habitable ones aren't

Admittedly a planet of all desert or all ice would be fine, they're just really shitty planets nobody would consider living on, also they shouldn't have a breathable atmosphere due to there being no plants.

Ice Age planets would be interesting. And fuck, most galactic scale scifi has enough history that it should be happening.

WH40k? Room for 2 full blast Ice Ages on every inhabitabed planet. Atleast sometimes in the Imperium. Era.

Star Wars? Again, Galactic Civilization is old enough and spread out among enough planets that some of them have to be entering and exiting Ice/Warm Ages

Or maybe not do fucking green humans in space and do something interesting like silicon or ammonia based life. Just because something isn't habitable by humans doesn't mean it can't have an ecosystem.

Wow, hire this man as a writer, he solved the boring aliens problem like it was nothing. Other writers sure have been stupid wanting to have plot relevant things instead meaningless autism.

Hilariously ironic to be calling something "meaningless autism" after a post like that. What a random fucking tangent; it has nothing to do with what they're talking about.

You aren't very bright, but I'm going to give (You) just to brighten your day.

Didn't they leave David's body on the other engineer ship?

You know, the one that rolled over and crashed?

Well, David is an android, he could always have had his severed head re-attached to another body by Shaw or somebody else.

Are you functionally retarded? You might have well said 'why would Britain want diplomacy with China? It's not like China has any unique exotic goods or inventions that could be a massive economic and social boon!' Commercial trading alone would be a huge driving force for diplomacy.

Like wander around an unknown planet they've been on for an hour without any protection and then die from being retards? That's some great writing. Yeah, shame on me for wanting movies to be 1/10th as interesting as any remotely hard sci-fi literature.

Go back to cuck posting you dense cunt.

Shaw reattaches David's head and he experiments on her AGAIN?

Didn't you see her rigging a pulley system to hoist it out of there at the end?

yeah but I don't think Ridley's movies are taking Aliens into account.

in Ridley's version of Alien there was no alien queen, they reproduced by turning humanoids into eggs.

Aren't their heads supposed to be gigantic? This scene needed a smaller prop.

So he's going to retcon Aliens and everything past it out? That's…bold.
So every xeno requires two separate creatures every time they need to reproduce?

I've never been more disinterested in a sequel

David is defective. He does not follow the basic rules of robotics due to wayland reprogramming him.
The moron here is Shaw for fixing him while being aware of that and of him killing her husband and infecting her with an alium squid.

Why do I feel like this is all some halo tie-in?

Nah, fell asleep at that point.

I don't see the problem, I imagine she got lonely out there and David managed to sweet talk her.

I watched prometheus a while back and iirc, I don't think she's aware of any of that.

Damn, David really is getting around for a guy who was just a head

David clearly tried to subdue her and bring her back to earth with the monster inside, for *studying*.

xenomorphs are partially silicon based if I'm not mistaken

Yeah, that and his whole disgregard for the safety of the crew during first excursions while clearly being able to read Engineer glyphs and operate their technology (opening the room with the decapitated engineer for example).
Even if she doesn't know David infected her husband he was clearly acting malevolent from the beginning (which only got worse due to Holloways goading).

HHhhsssssSSKREEEEE

This is actually terrifying

captivating as hell

Who asked for this shit?

the kind of people who think Aliens > Alien and were mad at 3 killing off Newt and Hicks during the opening credits instead of being super alien-hunting space marines with Ripley

The killing of Hicks and Newt were shit because Ripley survived. The problem was turning her into an action star.

They could have killed them later on, maybe let hicks die in the crash and let newt get killed by one of th e inmates. Or just get her killed by the xenomorph

I hope you like rape.

specifically the "Rape" part of "Wreckage and Rape" from Alien 3.

Most of them are novelizations of comic books which is why the plots sound sound like comic books.

you mean raped to death?
dunno why fincher didn't go for it, he's an edgy fuck

Thats a given with thirsty inmates. It's been a while since ive seen the movie, how do they handle the not raping ripley part?

muh strong nigger with a heart of gold saves her right?

So Lawrence of Arabia is responsible for ayylmaos?
I hate that I know I am going to disappointed on levels I can't fathom but I still have to see this shit just because. I wonder what cringey throwback nods to previous movies will beat the audience over the head.
Going to at least wait a few weeks and see it on a Tuesday morning though.

Not a heart of gold. Just found religion and believes that people should act better than animals.

"Face Hugger" sure raped my ears.

"Med Bay" is pretty good.

Lot of it is just ambiance mixed with Goldsmith's god-tier score. Modern composers can't create good original scores nowadays?

Aye, and Prometheus was going to star one.

Basically a lot of the plot was gonna be the same but better:

Not to mention that scale is a thing. What's to say anything on the planet would be remotely around our size as a base?

Why not everything the size of an elephant and then go larger from there because of a lower base gravity or stronger base materials of the genetics of the creatures?

Why not a race of finger sized creatures that are super dangerous because of their great technical prowess?

...

As much as I like speculative biology and would welcome more creative and cool alien designs, the idea of convergence, the idea that the same adaptations will occur in separate evolutionary lines, does kind of support humanoid aliens. At the bare minimum they would have to be able to grasp tools (like Eosapien) to advance to the space age.

We're not really in the space age ourselves though, this kind of human myopia and limited imagination is dull as fuck. How about we move beyond our navel gazing and actually try to be more creative? Even the idea of tools being a necessity show just how limited in our thinking we are.

So what exactly is the black goo? Nanomachines? Chemical magic?

Moving beyond the tools (or becoming them) is the concept of Singularity.

Singularity is a moronic concept only taken seriously by people completely ignorant of how things actually work.

that would have been cool. maybe they could have spent more time exploring the ship and maybe some shit about engineer lore.

Honestly 3 would have been a decent movie if it was about Hicks instead of Ripley.
It made no sense for Ripley to be in that kind of situation YET AGAIN, but Hicks was a soldier.
It ended up turning the franchise into another muh chosen one bullshit.
Not only that but since the fucking writer didn't even watch the earlier movies he didn't remember there were supposed to be other characters, so he had to find a shitty hamfisted way to get rid of them to open space for MUH RIPLEY (how the fuck did the egg get inside SULACO?)
Overall 3 was an awful movie that contrarians like to praise for having exactly the same symbolism as the first but in a worse way.

Supposedly he's meant to find and create new life, so he just decides to drop all of the canisters on them.

I bet you were disappointed to hear Blunderkamp's Alien-film getting shit-canned.

You misunderstand, it isn't about being a Hicks fan. It could have been about Newt, with both Ripley and Hicks dead. The problem was turning Ripley into an action star. Alien and ALiens was as much Ripley as we could ever want.

This. It would have been better if their story just ended right there and we had different characters for the next movie.

The kikes are really obsessed with christianity.

Just finished watching the latest trailer for Alien: Engineer Extinction. Did I like it?

lel fukkin saved

None of this are in the movie, in fact, a lot of the prologues aren't included in the movie. Alien:Covenant? More like Prometheus 2: Even More Question

Is Ridley Scott Jewish?
