Quote from: Protozoid on Aug 02, 2017, 09:22:50 PMThanks for sharing, Echo!The way the short video was edited made it seem like the xeno was the wolf David referred to. The long version makes it clear that David is referring to the Engineers. I'm back to thinking that the Engineers on LV-223 had rebelled against the peaceful ones on Paradise and been outcast.

It took Fox ten years to admit they screwed the pooch with Fincher and in return released the Assembly cut.

Maybe he did, but he sure has a strange way of showing it. He's gone loopy, remember. Fassbender said in the Collector's Edition how he killed Shaw so she couldn't ever leave him. I kinda liked that psychotic angle to his motivation.Also - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twK0ymaSQa4

Quote from: Elmazalman on Aug 03, 2017, 09:37:58 PMSpoilerPerhaps it was having his head torn off and used as a club, that caused irreparable damage to his android brain, rather than lack of maintenance? Or Shaw missed something in wiring him back up? (it's supposed to be simple) Shaw should never have done so, but had she not, she would have been trapped on LV-223 with a quickly-developing Deacon for company. I'd really like to know what her final moments were - a mystery as great as Lambert's. [close]

[close]I thought it was simply the fact that he was programmed to be too human, too emotional, and he doesn't quite understand how to handle his programmed approximations of feelings... which is super interesting and makes for a great, dark, creepy origin for the alien.
Quote from: ElmazalmanThat's probably it. Too independent.
