Somewhere at Wayland-Yutani Corp.

Guy 1: "We need a new crew for our next space mission."

Guy 2: "Make it all Fassbender."

Everyone in the room: "DONE!"

Why not an all Fassbender cast?

I already have all the films(multiple times!)...So they'd have to sweeten the pot. 

Making of Alien:Covenant might get me to buy this.

"Death..Emotion..Revenge..all human constructs" - Walter

"David's not going to feel pain or loss. There is nothing we can do to such a being" - Daniels

"Mistakes were made in early synth development, mistakes we've overcome. They won't happen again" - Bishop

I would make him the hero. Have him find absolution. Giving his life to save someone.

The Xeno's are the 'evil stars' of the series...The star beasts.

If you ask me, one Engineer should give him a big bear hug that causes his head to explode.

I want David to kill himself.  He would kill himself because he experiences something we never thought David would experience.  That would be deep regret.  I want David to feel so sorry for the things he has done to people and in the end, kills himself.  I originally thought he would allow a facehugger to kill him, but according to A:C, the Xeno strain doesn't try to alter machinist type characters.  Even the Neomorph that attached Walter did so in self-defense.  Still, an impregnating is apparently done only with biological organisms.

All that aside, I do want David to cut his own cord and shut down forever at his own willingly hand.  That, to me, is the only death I would be happy with and it would be the most unexpected and unique death in the franchise, expect when Ripley kills herself in Alien3.  Still, David could theoretically live forever and with all of his ambitions, a suicide would be quite a page turner.

Even if David doesn't die that way, it wouldn't make the movie bad, but I think I would be most satisfied if David self-terminated.  That's unless I like other suggestions that people here come up with here or I come up with another later.  Maybe the writers for Alien: Awakening got a real good death for David.  I hope so.  I would like it if David did die and didn't return in the future Alien franchise movies that will take place after Alien: Resurrection.

TIMMY THE ULTRAMORPH - David, in my opinion, should meet his end at the hands of that for which he holds the most contempt: a human. His death should be as ignoble and anticlimactic as possible - perhaps a simple bullet wound to the chest which leaves him alive just long enough to grasp that he has been slain by a member of the species he deemed beneath him. :)

I want him to be Reprogrammed and I want his old hair.

Just erase his last 10 years memories

Ingeniero - We combine this with the huge stinky flower and we get the wall of the Alien egg as a result! :D

sherris - And I think that the holes on the Engineer cryo pods are not caused by Deacon bursts but they are the result of parasites bursting from their bodies:

The burst can be so intensive that it breaks the top of the cryo pod - similar result is the holes on the Engineer suits:

Plus, I don't claim that the LV-223 Engineers are not escaping from a Deacon in the hologram scene, but it is possible (and more probable) that they are running away from an infected and mutated fellow Engineer - similarly to the scene where the mutated Fifield attacks the crew members.

I saw that too drucea regarding the "an ancient and robust core code" and assumed this was David 8 referring to the genome or the "radical A.I." mentioned when describing what black goo is.

This is with the assumption that the mermaid's purse in the drawings is a mutated form from the mutagen applied to a local indigenous (Paradise) mermaid's purse.

I agree with Jonesy! (next movie I want three Fassbanders!) :D

But it will be probably a new crew or someone from the Covenant. Oh, Yutani! The CEO of Yutani! I want to see Yutani!

Continuity is already in shambles so why not blow the whole thing up. The severed coild wind up anywhere, could the source of the original signal. I don't care well you know after what.

I don't want him to die but I think the engineers or maybe Walter (assumed he's still alive) want him dead. Maybe tear is head off again? I bet one of the engineers will end him.

Wow, great topic, Timmy the ultramorph! I don't have a clear answer, but this is a fun topic to contemplate!

@dk

"I agree about being destroyed by his creation. I would add that he both understands this irony and fears dying just before he checks out."

Wow, I love it!

@red0guy@gmail.com

"Or even better to beheaded and to spend his restvof immortality as such."

Also love it! But, where should his fully conscious severed head wind up? For the rest of forever?

(I can't get behind your wiping out all life in the galaxy idea though, only because it would disrupt the series' continuity pretty badly.).

Man these ate stupid cliches. Rs should have courage to not lead these into the original and make David wipe out all life in the galaxy so that he would be alone forever. Or even better to beheaded and to spend his restvof immortality as such.

Have him killed by the son of God, the Ultramorph. 

Timmy the ultramorph - The nurse in Aliens played by Alibe Parsons. 

Two. 

Hollywood is guilty of whitewashing, and the next ALIEN film (if it happens) with 2,000 colonists should be extensively diverse. 

dp sorry

SJ is a possibility. Given the fact that those eggs are bio-mech 1979 Alien. So the eggs have not yet arrived on LV426.

It is not my dream scenario but better than they lose continuity and put another race in the seat or Engineer without them prior getting the eggs.

Anyways, David. i want him to die. i do not want him to be MU TH UR or Ash. I would like to see his own creation kill him. That is my most favoured too i think.

Walter still has some story in him for me. i would even have walter do it. or an engineer so long as he is dead and gone i happy.

I agree about being destroyed by his creation. I would add that he both understands this irony and fears dying just before he checks out.

Same. I have the Anthology and Prometheus/ AC on BR. Too bad they won't sell the box so we can put the discs in it.

Soon enough the seven disc box will be out with Awakening and a neomorph added to the picture.

I already own the first 4 alien films and their special editions so it would be a little bit of a waste of money for me. dont have any of the prequels so I hope there will be a box set just for prometheous, covenant and awakening eventually.

Barf The Mog aliens had one black actor in it briefly. that is all. 

vasquese was played by an american actor not a hispanic one so really the only diversity was the one or two scenes with the black captain.

alien 3 on the other hand had a black man being one of the main charectors and a central part to the story.

Ati - 

The sacrificial engineer kind of nails it. There is without question some relevance to his demise and the Planet 4 event.

That is real evidence for me after looking through it. awesome

avp is in no way part of alien cannon but it is cannon with the predator universe. the predator universe has xenomorphs with a completlely different origin, but the alien universe has no predators of any kind.

(Perez stairs in disbelief, partly out of what Wren is saying and also partly out of the consequences that could come from this "benefit")

Benefit... (says Prerez mockingly) 

David.

Who else is going to carry the narrative? 

Shaw "I'd like to sit down with the Engineers and have a lengthy discussion, maybe share some thoughts on religion and their ancient pottery..."

Tennessee "I'd like to have a beer with them Engineers and discuss some cool stuff...maybe find me a new wife.."

Daniels "I really just want to build my cabin...in memory of my dead husband"

David "I want to kill the Engineers and every human I encounter...create something horrific"

@daliens

You are right, those are great scenes! Very well acted and directed!

@MonsterZero

Good picks as well! "title of the movie forms devil horns around David's head!"

Wow, that's amazing!

@drucea

Good observation! ...Maybe his corpse was desiccated before vivisection or maybe the reduced brain mass is an effect of the pathogen?

I do agree with Barf The Mog that more diversity is needed. In theory, Covenant had a bit with Carmen Ejogo, Jussie Smollet, Uli Latukefu, and Demian Bichir, (and maybe Callie Hernandez because she is Mexican-American), but only one of them were anything more than supporting/background characters. Aliens is also guilty of that, but I think the characters there were done well enough to where everyone (until half of them die lol) is pretty 3-dimensional (or close to it.) 

I am guessing that if and when Awakening and the other possible sequel arrive, there will be more characters introduced, including a main character or two, at some point and AT LEAST one should be a non-white, female actor.

Still though, I think David should be treated as the clear cut main character at this point. Some Prometheus and/or David haters were mad that a lot of Covenant was dedicated to him and so I found it funny that he wasn't in trailers and was supposed to be a twist/surprise reveal of sorts. 

Nonetheless, David is the main character for sure now. Daniels or Tennessee (or someone new as I said) will be the audiences emotional connection, but the villian of these prequels is the main character. 

Not a popular post. :D

sherris - Thank you very much, I agree with you, the chart above can explain everything in my opinion.

Sacrifice Engineer:

Lv-223 Engineers: there are holes everywhere on their bodies, arms, legs, head, etc.

The exploding Engineer head:

Planet 4 Engineers:

More or less, we see the same process...

Ati -

This, for me, is without doubt the theory  that i am most happy about.

i tried for some time to make sense of it all. what is relevant ? what about this/that etc..

it ticks all the boxes for me. based on the evidence at hand that we have. perhaps someone will find a personal flaw but i am well happy with it.

it has all the answers and has enough to debate any area of the theory/evidence

great post Ati !!

 Any thoughts?

The above first two are not unused.

some awesome pics guys.

was a pleasure to see and to remember just how awesome the beast is !!
