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.

I'm back to thinking that the Engineers on LV-223 had rebelled against the peaceful ones on Paradise and been outcast.this has been a long and on going theory among some of us... im pretty much certain that the Engineers shown in the beginning of Prometheus (both theatrical and deleted scene) aaaaaaaaand the Engineers on the planet in Covenant are the same faction. The Engineers on LV-223 were a war mongering faction which split due to the peaceful Engineers wanting to retain religion with rejection of a technology based populace versus the warring faction who kept technology in their forefront.and again, what leads credence to this is the easter egg in Aliens: Colonial Marines. fox said the game was canon, including the "prometheus easter egg"... soooooooooooooo the wolf that David refers to is most likely this warring faction.

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

I love how the video is in the form of transmissions. I always suspected that this was how W/Y found out about the Xenomorph.Poor Daniels. I really liked her. The full Phobos segment is awesome.

The version I was going to upload was shitty compared to his. Looks like he recorded it off his Xbox. I just wanted to make sure the fans were aware of it.

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 - Blame Shaw! She rejected Paradise as a gift!

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.

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.

That's probably it. Too independent.
