Quote from: szkoki on Mar 11, 2017, 01:16:39 PMBtw whats the purpose of Prometheus if we have Covenant now? Its like a reworked Alienized Prometheus.
Quote from: Trucker on Mar 11, 2017, 03:16:01 PMMy theory is neomorphs from spores n xenos from eggs. His experiments evolving say
Quote"No. That was probably way back when. 'Should she be the daughter of Ripley?' I said 'no.' She's herself."
QuoteScott does not believe an AI could be authentically creative. "Can you have a computer write a book or a screenplay or a poem?," he said. "Yeah, but it's always going to be very derivative and only based on what has been done in trillions of different ways before, so it's going to be a cross-collateralization. It can only be that."

Quote from: Dangerous Days on Mar 11, 2017, 12:16:35 PMAfter being initially downbeat with the first trailer at Christmas, I must say my faith for Covenant has now been restored.Really enjoying what I'm seeing and reading now. This has real potential to be the film I wanted Prometheus to be.Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Mar 11, 2017, 08:35:01 AMI'm intrigued by this quote - QuoteScott does not believe an AI could be authentically creative.

"Yeah, but it's always going to be very derivative and only based on what has been done in trillions of different ways before, so it's going to be a cross-collateralization. It can only be that."Perhaps that theory that David is merely recreating the Alien has some credence.Couldn't agree more.I think this quote and the evidence from Prometheus adds a lot to the theory that the LV-223 Engineers were trying to resurrect the alien in the mural. Either the black goo is a mixture of a mutagen and that creatures DNA. Or the goo is the first life cycle phase of the creature and is made up of millions of microscopic parasites, which attack and then mutate their host on contact.Humanities part in all this. We were always meant to be hosts for the creature. That was the sole purpose of a our creation.David's now following in the footsteps of the Engineers and trying to complete their failed experiment.If the rumour is true:Spoiler And David bombs the citadel using the second juggernaut him and Shaw commandeered at the end of Prometheus.[close]Then as others have already speculated. I expect that not all of the Engineers are infected during the initial strike and retaliate. Shooting down the Juggernaut, before trying to stop the outbreak spreading, by burning the infected.The Juggernaut crashes into a waterfall, releasing the remaining black goo into the water supply and the spores and Neo-morph's wipe out the remaining Engineers. David's then left free to continue on with his Frankenstein experiments at the citadel, with only Shaw standing in his way.Needing more hosts for his creations, David lures the Covenant, by using a communication beacon Shaw recovered from Vickers life boat, before leaving LV-223.Because the company thinks the SOS is from the Prometheus, its rated as high priority. And the Covenant is then redirected, Nostromo style, to investigate.

Quote from: Xenomorphine on Mar 11, 2017, 03:51:28 PMI don't think it's literally going to be titled 'Covenant 2', Himmel, any more than this film was titled 'Prometheus 2'.
