Facehugger: How did it know to go for Kane's face?

[Local Trouble]

Ridley can't wait to put David in the Space Jockey suit.  You can just feel it.  He thinks it's going to be the ultimate masterstroke of his long career.

Hicks knows this.

[Immortan Jonesy]

That would make David breedable in a way.

Nah it's Tennessee in the suit.  He's the pilot after all.

That's what I'm fearful Scott would do in a 3rd movie. The Space Jockey in the Derelict ends up being David inside an Engineer suit and that's how the Alien becomes biomechanical.

If he does that in an hypothetical 3rd movie, I would burn my copies of Prometheus and Covenant

[Xenomrph]

I don't trust him not to do that, so I really don't want him to.

At this stage I'm not confident he's going to get the chance.

[PsyKore]

It's a tacky idea, just like how they linked the Engineers to humans. I wouldn't put it past Ridley to make David the Jockey, but I would at least hope he'd want to leave the first film directly untouched and not go that route.

According to Alien: Icarus, David became a messianic figure among synthetics. I'd be more interested in seeing how that came about.

When I was reading it I wasn't sure that was THE David, but it makes sense.

If Scott were to stage it like that, it would be further unbelievable and illogical.
The androids were not used as breeding grounds by the aliens in the films because they are not organic living beings.


If David were to sink into the black slime together with an alien and the biomechanical being was formed out of it, it would at least still be understandable in the context of Prometheus.

Due to the new directions, especially in Hawley's series, this will no longer be clarified anyway or will even be completely reinterpreted.

no matter how,
Everything, really everything is better than what the Strausse brothers had in mind with the Space Jockey.
I hope that they are never allowed to touch our beloved franchise again...

It's not exactly explicit and I wouldn't go as far as to say the comic depicts him as a messianic figure for them all, but they're certainly aware of a figure called David and have access to his teaching.

I'm sure it would involve him using the goo on himself in some fashion, but I wholly believe that to have been his endgame.

In spite of a plot point in Prometheus being that his immunity allowed him to use Charlie Holloway as a test subject, and the crew at large generally,  to see what the stuff does?

Funnily enough, the 26 Draconis Strain can affect synthetics as well and turn them into biomechanoid Abominations, and even Perfected.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Not only do I sttongly dislike the strain concept itself, I feel that in particular just comes across as nonsensical.

[SiL]

Prometheus wasn't consistent on a lot of things but David touching goo with no effect was preeeeetty clear.

How so? It's like any pathogen or virus; it evolves and mutates, and can be tampered with.
