Future of the series - Prometheus' Sequel(s) - Ideas, Expectations & Desires

Telepathic communication would be interesting. One way or another they will be able to have a conversion since David is around to act as an interpretor.

I think that would be the basic principle as i had said with Shaw left no choice but to be in Davids hands unless she either learns some Engineer via Cryo Sleep or if they are Telepathic.

Otherwise Shaw has to put he faith in what David says on her behalf and also in how he translates the Engineers Messages...

There is nothing stoping David making it up or even stretching the truth a bit.

If Shaw does not know Engineer Lanquage she simply has to take what David says is true.

I think it is obvious that in this movie, the Engineers created humans on Earth for the purpose of incubating zenomorphs.  The base found on LV 223 was a bio weapon factory designed to develop the weapons to incubate zenomorphs in human hosts.   The alien ships on LV 223 were actually bombers.   The "vases" in the development area of the base were spaced out like we store nuclear warheads, well apart so that they don't interact with one another.   The vases in the "cargo hold" on the ship looked like they were arranged in bomb racks, for dropping on earth.  I'm not sure why the writers didn't make this clear as the visiting human crew began to figure things out.   In the end, the main character indicated she wanted to take an Engineers' ship to the home planet of the Engineers, not Earth.   I would expect in the sequal she will find out that the Engineers are hostile, and she will use the ship for it's intended purpose and bomb the Engineers' planet with their own bio weapon load.  Somehow one of these vases will make it back to Earth (presumably from a rescue ship sent to find out what happened to the original Promethius ship).   All of these speculations are probably a little too simple and linear for Ridley to put into a movie, so I expect some mind bending turns for the sequels that I hadn't predicted.  For instance, I expect see Ridley to bring back the space marines concept from "Aliens".    j1

Although I feel that Prometheus could, and should have been a much better movie, I also feel that at times it truly shines. Some scenes are incredible, and really add to the world building that has been part of this "Alien" universe. It is a real shame that within this one movie, the quality of the writing alternates from solid and good, to absolutely abysmal. The movie suffered because of the unrealistic plot contrivances and illogical events, and even though the artwork, and cinematography were absolutely top notch, the movie just fell flat in many other areas. 

So basically all I want right now, is a coherent movie script in which the characters are behaving like real people, and the situations are handled with care for realism.

Curious to see how people's expectations change after seeing the trailer...

I would love to know more about the Engineers - origin, culture, their faith perhaps. So far, i`ve stumbled upon many speculations and little threads that lead to everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I, personally, do not believe that David translated his conversation with the last engineer correctly ( judging by the engineer`s tone and posture, his face ... ) .. the things is that i expect more from Covenant. I would expect experiments , horrid experiments on humans( Shaw maybe) and Engineers. And why not find out why they wanted to wipe us out ! 

Btw, i have recently found a test shooting from Prometheus - with different David and different ending ( which gives clues to Paradise and different interpretation of the Engineer`s speach). Here`s the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tu5Mwq_L2A  

Thank God that guy was not used to play David.  Lol

this may have been brought up in others threads but I find it interesting that through the movie Prometheus it seemed that David formed a conscious and the will to survive and bargain. Which makes me wonder if he's more than just a robot 

and also his desire to meddle with human life.

and as far as paradises..... it could mean a totally different thing to the engineers than it does to humans

I've never had an exact idea/dream for and Alien/Prometheus film. I just hope we get a true horror/thriller film with good: acting, build up, CGI/practical effects, cinematography and music. I think these are key (not that anyone disagrees) and I think that's what we'll get with Alien Covenant. 

Alien Universe Theory

The Engineers worship the Xenomorph, the Xenomorph is a form of god to the engineers. They serve the Xenomorph and Xenomorph is actually the more intelligent of the two.  As depicted in the shrine room, the alter and mural.  The mural was a Xenomorph. The alter was the first step in the engineers sacrifice to create life as depicted in the beginning of Prometheus.

The engineers are part of a Xenomorph life cycle, the slaves to the Xenomorph gods. They travel the universe and create homeworlds, life as they did on earth.  They visit these worlds and leave behind clues to their existence.  When life on that planet evolves enough to sacrifice them, they visit with the Black Goo and destroy the planets cities making it a Xenomorph transforming home world.  The population of humans not destroyed are used as host (via) the egg cargo their ship also carries, making more Xenomorphs to populate the host planet.

The Black goo is Xenomorph sperm, they need it to create life and in turn destroy life. When consumed by the engineer, it will create the basic fabric of evolutionary life. But when exposed to living creatures it creates mutation and death.

Once a Xenomorph host planet is created in the ashes of a human planet, they follow the Xenomorph life cycle of a queen, egg, face hugger and then a host to create a birther Xenomorph.

Perhaps the origin of the Xenomorph is that the engineers created them, they turned on them and became the slave. Much like the engineers turned on us, thou we see them as our god, or how David turns on humans…his creator. But for the sake of the movies, the Xenomorph is the gods (or devil).  The Engineers are the Slaves (or angels) and the humans are the sheep (sacrifice) used to create more gods.

d.r.barbarook, that video is down. Fox pulled it. I would like to see who was playing David, as I can't stand his character lol.

Can you elaborate on what was contained in the video? Thanks!

Is anyone curious as to how the Alien franchise will end? As far as I know, the black goo changes you irrevocably and its game over. Weyland Yutani, in its corporate greed, would keep sending spaceship after spaceship and poor folks would get infected and die and of course, the alien manages to survive somehow. So my question is, how would Ridley Scott end this story in a satisfactory way? Your thoughts are welcome as this has been bugging me quite a bit.

Probably it won't end as such it will just wrap up some things. I get the feeling the end will be an overwhelming vision of just how old and big the universe is if it does it right. Possibly glimpsing some so advanced it looks apon us as specks of dust...And still it is not the universe's creator....thousands of levels of more and more intelligent or advanced life forms uncountable different types...mostly centering around who made us and who made them up to the universe's creator. God as such.

Well maybe if it's done well :) if its bad we probably won't see the end...and Ridley did seem to say he's making it up as he goes along which isn't very reassuring. :s

Honestly after watching Prometheus I was a little turned off from it because of how it was portrayed but at the same time still interested in where he was taking it. However, after seeing Covenant I'm completely uninterested in where it's going, I was expecting some kind of revelation or answer to the questions Prometheus created but there was none. I hoped for a slight hat tip and a little information on the original Xenomorphs instead of yet another film filled with them. WELP.

I would like to see future installments show the inner workings of Weyland-Yutani, and show how their desire to obtain this bioweapon (the xenomorph) originated.

Surely, after Covenant, the company will know of the existence of these aliens and the accelerant.  I want to see how the company will react.
