Walter's Intentions and David's Freedom

As we've seen in Prometheus, David was responsible for the birth of the deacon... In the trailer of A-Covenant, we've seen that Walter letting his crew member facehugged...maybe for the first time (that somebody gets facehugged)... I don't know who of these androids are worse...

David 8 was following orders with no moral inhibitor engaged. He did nothing independently in that film.  Once Weyland was dead, he was more protective of Shaw than nefarious.

Interesting questions. Maybe BOTH androids end up being self aware and self-protective. We shall see. Either way, this film is going to be the best of the Alien franchise (well, the best since A1)...

That's an interesting thought, David could be a sort of anti-hero if Walter is something similiar to Ash. It's actually weird that I never thought Walter would be an antagonistic character. I figured he woulld be pure, until corrupted by David (whether, like, turned against the crew, mutated, killed, whatever.) 

But yeah there will be a great dynamic between the two androids no matter what, but David might end up taking Walter out because he represents the company and the company is only there to make weapons and money off of such outstanding technology. 

I'm thinking Walter just stood there while his captain got face hugged.

I'm thinking David unleashed black goo on the resident engineers spawning neomorphs.  What determines level of malevolence is motivation. 

If Davids like "I wonder what this does?" He's the bad guy. If he was like "these guys want to murder earth and look what they did to Elizabeth. Eat black goo!" That's a bit different.

If Walter wants to make sure pregnant skipper gets back on the boat, then he's the heavy. If he simply has nothing in his programming to aid the situation, then he's just an innocent bystander.
