David's the only link in the chain. He needs to be in the next movie or the next movie needs to be a reboot that's nothing to do with this line. I don't see another option.

It's highly doubtful he was kind to Shaw since he treats Daniels like a pile of shit, twice. More likely he got bored or she got killed in the bombing.

You would need more than someone stumbling across a dead robot and wondering what happened to it.  It would need greater context in whatever story they're telling.

No more than we needed an explanation for the remains in Alien.

Makes me really sad, because I honestly think David could have benefitted from the dimensions of the Shaw relationship, and he had not been reduced to a butchering pyschopath. At least, not in totality. If Shaw had been an accident or something.

The only fitting end is if he is destroyed by his own creation, repeating the "doesn't everybody want their parents dead?" thing again.

That's part of the context of the story though as it foreshadows Kane's fate.

Well sure, but that could be the repeated theme of the next Alien movie. Distress call, rescue team, find a dead android mangled to pieces.

Because she had rumbled his plan.

Daniels was not, and could never be Shaw to David. I doubt he would care even before he went insane. That he composed a song for Shaw, and made her a headstone in the garden, is telling. Surely he couldn't have ever expected any others to find him or his paradise. Why bother doing any of that if he didn't give a hoot? If feels like that whole situation was trying to play out 2 different ways at once.

The Cruentus

I chose motorcycle accident because that would be hilarious.

My serious choice would have been David killed by Engineers.

Yeah David loved Shaw, he couldn't care less about Daniels.

Whether Walter loved Daniels is debatable.

He was going to give it a fair old crack though.

You heard Walter, it was "doody", pure and simple. Or maybe that was an insult directed at David, I don't know.

Baron Von Marlon

His fate:
I hope he somehow escapes the planet intact. Perhaps in an escape pod from the Derelict after infecting the pilot.
Drifting off into deep space. Trapped with his thoughts, slowly going mad.
Until his pod crashes on some other planet. Cue David spin-off movie.

His relationship with Shaw:
David was gonna kill and cut up Daniels. The same thing he did to Shaw.
He used her and killed her when she was done being useful alive.
Yeah, he could keep her alive for a certain amount of time during and after removing parts. But sooner or later that person dies as consequence of those operations. I think that would counts as killing.

Ridley Scott said in an interview that David hates humans and the Engineers (=humanoids).
Shaw was a human.

OpenMaw

I think everybody get's why David killed Shaw.

I get it, I just don't like it. The character could have been so much more.
