What do you want to see in Romulus?

[BigDaddyJohn]

I remember Ridley Scott referenced a Henry Fuseli painting in Covenant when the neomorph is eating the girl's body before Oram kills it.

The way Rosenthal's detached head spins in a fountain of blood is in itself very Gothic and poetic.

The only problem I had with that shot is that it's used numerous times and become a bit comical because of the repetition.

I wonder if there is this kind of symbolism & mythology in ℜ𝔬𝔪𝔲𝔩𝔲𝔰?

Possible but maybe with another form.

The Romulus/Remus interplay already seems to be planting some seeds there. I definitely don't expect Fede to approach it quite the same way Ridley does, and I think it'll be more on the peripheral/subtext rather than part of the forefront text like in the prequels, but I do fully expect to see a few embodiments of that particular myth take form in Romulus.

When you look at that shot of the lab hatch, what's interesting is that the twins are placed in such a way, that when the hatch opens, they are "torn apart" which mirrors the schism that develops between them in the myth.



This shot is also reminiscent of Brett entering the landing gear bay.



Here we have Tuthankamen's temple/treasure chamber with bas relief Egyptian "hieroglyphics" set into the doors made from pipes and other technological bits and pieces.

As someone on here speculated, perhaps some kind of schism develops between the Remus and Romulus modules of the station. Perhaps the scientists from Romulus decides to kill those in Remus? Like Romulus did to his brother in the myth.

Is it me or does the wolf not look that much like a wolf ?

Maybe  ℜ𝔬𝔪𝔲𝔩𝔲𝔰 establishes the Alien at the level of Lucifer.

The Engineers are some bastard freak weirdos who found the pilots' technology.

And in that biomechanical world was the Shoggoth of the pilots; the truly ancient Xenomorph.



The Mala'kaks are three-dimensional medium angels and silico-based life forms.

They don't have legs and their technology can manipulate objects at a quantum level, generating exotic biochemical symbioses with non-living matter, such as metal structures.

The black pathogen is the weaponization of the Alien by the Engineers...In this civilization there was a subspecies / culture... who liked to modify their biology through genetic experimentation with black goo.

But how does the Alien really fit into the Romulus & Reno🏹🏛? 

🤔

Believe it or not, there is in-universe conjecture that the Engineers possibly based their technology on a higher race, a species that actually has the biology reflected in the Engineers' helmets and architecture.

[Komenja]

If Romulus has a Queen, I will shit bricks of solid unobtanium.

[BigDaddyJohn]

I think it's pretty unlikely.

[Komenja]

Probably, but one can dream!

[Nightmare Asylum]

Hawley will put a Queen in the basement of Prodigy's headquarters, right across the hall from the Cross that the Jesus Enginner was nailed to.

In-universe conjecture in the movies?

[E. Shaw]

Maybe other paintings will be referenced in Romulus, although I suspect it's less Alvarez's thing.

He may include it since its a tradition in the mythos.

[SiL]

It's less tradition and more what particular directors like doing.
