His mind should start malfunctioning more and more (already hinted at in Covenant) and basically die of Android Alzheimers, a sad little death for that evil bastard. Or perhaps he realizes this and chooses suicide instead.

Given that he does have some human traits like emotions, it's only natural that he made a mistake with ozymandius. He's been mistreated and undervalued by those around him for God knows how long. Weyland was middle aged when David was created, in Prometheus he was ancient and days away from dying. There's no telling exactly how long David had put up with people's crap by then. His being alone for years did not help his mental stability. He's not malfunctioning, he's just going mad.

David is far more human than he realizes. His being an android will not protect him from his creation when the day comes, Just ask Bishop if it works. The Noemorph David encountered may have just been temporarily confused, or not as intelligent as the xenomorph. Had Oram not intervened, it may have destroyed David 5 seconds later. I don't see David killing himself, or being killed by the engineers. He'll fall victim to the all too human flaw known as hubris. He will create the circumstances of his own death. To die from ignorance, and to realize he is no better than the pathetic humans he despises, is the most cruel fate he could meet. He is not special, he is no visionary, he is no god, he's a flawed individual who is unknowingly crafting his own downfall, and is not worthy of "Valhalla".

Man this has gotten too complicated and over blown. The Alien universe dosen't give a shit about me or you or some asshole android in the ass end of space created by an old fool. It's going to be a simple death for David. He's probably going to get crushed by a derelict space craft. Like sister, like brother.

The Engineers are technically hobo's. It would be too good for him.

That's one way to go.
My dream ending for David is;
- Engineer explorers see the destruction of Paradise.
- They find Walter and put him back together.
- Pissed off Engineers with Walter as their guide track down David and rain hell down on him.
A Deacon vs Xenomorph fight would be great but I don't think it would fit the budget.
- Even though David was destroyed, unfortunately he had Xenomorphs overrun one of the juggernauts which has a panicked Engineer who takes off trying to get to LV-223 (but instead crashes on nearby LV-426) and that becomes the derelict.
- As for Daniels and the colonists, maybe a few of them escape and are able to help the Engineers destroy David.

Anyway, just a thought.

;)

Edit; clarity

David's demise should be a hedonistic irony.

Baron Von Marlon

David dying because of a xeno, human or Engineer seems to "normal" and predictable.
Getting infected is an option but we'd see it coming if he's made him self more biological or something.
Maybe he'd up on table like Shaw by the hands of the Engineers, but conscious. Tortured for eternity like the titan Prometheus.
And he'll be the one saying "Please, kill me."
But I think it'll be something we didn't think of.

If David becomes aware that he is superior to his father Peter Weyland, I suppose we can expect the same thing from the Perfect Organism toward its creator.

David will live forever, inside a tiny little lamp.

That's freaking me out, seriously.

I didnt read all the options but my thinking fo the next film is that somehow David manages to use his own artificial person DNA, if he has anything like that to create the perfect Xenomorph as we know it,  more biomechanical that the fleshy alien in Covenant.  However once he has done it he realises he has gone too far, becomes the space jockey and crashes on LV426 trying to destroy what he has created.

whiterabbit

Well that is exactly what most of us are thinking will happen. That he will in a way sacrifice himself to create the perfect organism. I mean shit that could be how an AI would think. Life probably doesn't have any meaning once you fulfill your primary programing or perhaps giving birth is important to him. The artificial person wants to be alive and can only achieve that through death. Yet it doesn't want to not exist so he's passing his dna to his child. The xenomorph.

Nightmare Asylum

David is the Space Jockey.

Its only Ourobous  :laugh:

Although the Xenomorph would have to possess a high level of sentience/sapience to be able to be so self aware that it could compare itself to David.
