And wouldn't it be excellent if the one Walter designs are eventually Predators! I also thought the Space Jockey had legs...Unless the Space Jockey was a supersized Engineer.In Prometheus we were led to believe that the engineers created life on earth. Given that whole scene was considered unnecessary by Fox I am not building up my hopes that it made an emergency jump into space. She informs the survivors of the Engineer ship and its mission to wipe out humanity, a mission that David is now attempting to resume. And thus, surely, they are on the same level as humans, at least as far as David is concerned.But why the hate for humanity from David? Perhaps Shaw made a deal with David, whereby she puts him whole together if he promises her to not allow those Engineers go and destroy Earth should something go wrong, hence the covenant. You skirted around this as did Ridley. A massive storm springs up and heads right for the temples. But at the same time there are lots of things they can follow up, and in a way, it is good for the Alien prequel/sequel franchise.Sounds like they found another excuse to sweep more of Prometheus under the rug :/.it has been pretty obvious since the first COVENANT teaser that the "seeding" scene in PROMETHEUS is not set on Earth (which i never thought it was). *Maybe Titans should be on the same level as Angels?Basically all Mythos and Cultures have a Hierarchy of Gods, above Mankind and even other,So in context to Prometheus/Alien Franchise... the Engineers and Elders are not the Top of the Hierarchy but we dont know how many levels are above them... could be.But indeed the Source seems to hint that Paradise is where the Cradle of Creation took off from within this Galaxy, the beings/Power above the Engineers are not bound to just this Galaxy they are Galactic in Scale.They seem to hint that Paradise was where Ancient Humanoids who are connected to the Engineers (maybe even Engineers themselves) originated from... but they have gone (or have been used by a higher power) around the Galaxy with many Worlds that have Creation taking place.. so there are more Humanoids than just on Earth.And indeed Mankind is actually 4th/5th Generation and Engineers DNA is involved in this Evolution but they dont hint at which stage this is at.They are basically hinting that Mankind did not Evolve from Apes, but that the 1-5 Stages before Mankind we would see those Engineers and beings on Paradise fit in some way.The claimed that Biblical Disasters are and have indeed happened within context to the Franchise, just we should not take it literally as those events effecting our Generation of Mankind. David is different from the moment he is activated he is telling us what it is like to be a robot. What is the bloody difference, if they will die anyway in a week or two? Guys, come on...@First Child, i dont see that they are borrowing anything from the AVP Galaxy but i am not familiar with the comics or novelization of AVP though to be honest. Engineers made mankind because... they could. It is all about constructuve(or not so much) argument because the movie as it is on the screen is just too vague and skips the interesting, imo, points. Judging from it's relative size in comparison to a standard engineer juggernaut - it's a massive craft so had it crashed - wouldn't we have noticed the wreckage?Thank you for your question about the speculation. How do we settle such a pickle then? It's gonna take time to make peace with this film and wrap my simpleton mind around it. Ridley himself admitted on a number of ocations, that for him the most difficult part is the story.If I just search for support for a hypothesis that great movies are those based on great stories so far it checks out. 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. Does he have to act in vengeance? The first humans came from the womb of an Annunaki woman, where as the initial iterations were born from an early hominid woman. He certainly can understand the particularities and peculiarities of human traits such as hate, envy, love, fear and irrationality, btw, which is the precisely the quality that makes us humans.From the first minutes of his inception David learns that his creator, is just a human, a mortal, not rational, manipulative, egoistical, power loving narcissist thinking he is the creator. An indeterminate amount of time later, Doctor,The team travels to the system indicated by the obelisk aboard the.Concept art of Watts and Holloway examining the decayed Engineer head.Concept art of the creature bursting from Holloway.Janek discovers Millburn's corpse and orders his crew back to the ship, although Vickers' mercenaries and several scientists remain to deconstruct the terraforming machine. In fact you will lose nothing if you skip the Covenant and go directly from Prometheus to the next movie.After reading a ton of comments on here - I have determined that you are my favorite commentator. He is not bound by the weak organic body the humanity has, nor he has the fear and uncertainty driving the humanity. It would suggest Eng's but then why create us, if they did? 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. Should he be worried that a group of ants perpetrated a subterfuge to kill some other ants? What kills me is the most important parts of the movie are rushed through way too fast like the engineer apocalypse and David's workshop. It would obviously be quite costly to have to do the make up and prosthetics to all those extras in order to make them look comparable to the Last Engineer in Prometheus - but could it have been done to a much more acceptable standard with CGI?
