Why do you not like this scene? I love it. David finnaly sees the birth of his (child). You can see he's so happy. The music is perfection. Its like the xeno knows he,s his father.

Yeah, which is why I kinda like the scene even though it's a bit cheesy. They're trying to show things from David's perspective, and of course he thinks it's beautiful. I like that.

I think Covenant overal would be a much better movie if the entirety of it was shown through Walter and David's perspective. One, where he's treated with some dignity by his crew and the other... well, it's David! With the humans just kinda going back and forth in the background doing their thing, stuff we've seen too many times in other Alien movies and since they're all gonna die anyway, why even bother trying to flesh them out? Would've helped the scene in question make more sense, since it came a bit out of left field, though it was pretty obvious we were seeing things from David's perspective.

Also one of the reasons why I wanted David's introduction aboard the Prometheus to be longer, so that his loneliness and time to have his own thoughts and ideas would become more apparent. And because the ship looked frickin' great and I wanted more time to glimpse at it.

It's a scene that, alongside David's lab and his drawings, just screams that David is the filmic embodiment of Giger. So what's not to like?

I get everyone's problem with it. But I think it's actually one of the few things straight from Giger. I haven't the slightest idea if he would approve of the scene itself, but he always insisted that the Alien was a kind of beautiful thing, so the creation of the first of its kind (at least to David), is that its a beautiful thing not unlike what HR Giger thought of his initial creation and his work on Alien 3.

It's a stretch but I think it's a reference to Giger's belief that the beast was, in its own way, beautiful. And almost sort of a posthumous tribute to him.

Didn't know that, that would be such a cool idea, though the tube shapes don't really seem like a good way to hold the host but I guess the webbing would help.

Perhaps they are like luggage holders to carry the host back to hive for insemination

The old Leading Edge Aliens RPG said exactly that. Webs would shoot out of the tubes to hold the victim in place. Then the alien would have its hands free to climb easily.

Well that conjures an interesting image... Preds riding xenos like ponies!  :laugh:

Though I really first thought how that was an obvious flaw, if you got the alien from behind and hang on, it would be hard for it to grab you, but then I remembered that awesome tail. There is no safe direction to approach an alien from.

Lol, only David can ride them.

its a rape flute-

The back of the Alien always reminded a bit of an organ though.

So it's a murderous pipe organ? The back tubes take on a whole new meaning...
