Quote from: PsyKore on Apr 06, 2024, 07:30:15 AMI think his progression to all out villain makes sense given his "malfunctioning" and the long period of isolation. That's what I got from the story in Covenant: it's his decline into robot madness. It might not be as interesting, but it does seem the logical conclusion. Sometimes his depiction was like a mustache twirling villain but I can't say I didn't enjoy it, honestly.
But by and large, I still think he is the same as he was in Prometheus, it's just that in Covenant he has no one to answer to anymore, so he's essentially been let off the leash.
David was pretty sinister in Prometheus,
"I will be free, doesn't everyone want their parents dead?"
"Must feel like your God has abandoned you, to lose Dr. Holloway in such a similar way as your father."
"I didn't think you had it in you, forgive me, poor choice of words, excellent survival instincts Elizabeth."
It's clear he's the Diablo he becomes in Covenant, because Elizabeth is one of few who are nice to him and yet he tries to kill her by letting her untraditional fetus grow and birth.
David always was Satan from Paradise Lost.
