Another Covenant theory

Less aliens would be my preference,but yeah alot of the pictures suggest a larger xenomorph presence.

im the same, though I love aliens, u just cant beat the whole isolated, dark cramped environment where only one or a couple of xenos r stealthily stalking the crew. I think lots of xenos just takes something away from it but for the idea david brings mass destruction to the planet, loads of aliens makes sense 

I think theres not only one xeno.

There will be at least 3 neomorphs.

I can think of a creature before covenant arrives..derivative from shaw or elder engineers,responsible for eggs if they dont make shaw making them...then whatever comes from shaw. But this creature would be revealed in the very end of the movie.

I just dont see them spoil everything in the trailer. We can expect more then neo or xeno

there has to be something that comes from the infected indigenous species already there, if there is any

From what is posted on this thread, it reinforces my thought that David is going to pull the old bait and switch on the Covenant crew.

I think so too.This brings up the thread about David's hair color.I think it'll be dark like Walter's,allowing him trade places much easier.

What if the protomorph is born from a human impregnated by the trilobite?

Yep. I see logic in shaw breeding a trilobite that attachs itself to a chained engineer david captured..would give a instersting scene between david and a elder engineer to know more about them .

I think its very cheap move for them to show the facehugger catching the captain in the first trailer...its like a very anscious and lame response to fans...alien is here bois get spoiled...maybe it doesnt catch him...maybe it does...but those eggs came from something...and that something would be cool if its shaw or the creature that came from the situation before covenant arrives...and leaving it as a ending scene unveiling itself from some place where is trapped by david.

Because of the different looking egg,I've thought what if Shaw some how layed it.It's a pretty gross thought.

I am not sure we should take the Music... thing as credible at the moment as its based off the 4Chan leak... which has a lot of holes in it...

I can in the 4Chan leak thread or my Trailer Analysis Thread go and cover flaws it had... and trailer highlights them.

DOG TAG...

Shaw and David could not have had a Dog Tag... the Dog Tag either belongs to.

*Crudrup

*Franco

*Previous group who had been there before the Covenant, if not maybe a previous Drop Ship.... where we would not be shown much screen time to what happened to them.....  (there is evidence for this).

*other member of the Drop Party that Daniels Attended..

For the Record... Daniels Drop Party with Walter contained...

Waterston* (Daniels)
Fassbender* (Walter)
Crudup (Captain/Pilot)
Seimetz (Pilot)
Ejogo* (Medic/Science Officer)
England* (Mercenary)
Latukefu* (Mercenary)
Dean* (Mercenary)

Bichir (Mercenary)

We see 7 leave the Drop Ship but more could be on it, as the trailer does not show the full departing.... 5 of the 7 are above marked ***  There are TWO more who are hard to make out.. but due to clothing are not Bichir (Mercenary) but he is part of the crew....

And we dont see Rigby.. who we have to assume is infected from this Drop Ship... (but could have been from another prior and found latter).  but i assume Rigby is on the same one as Daniels.

so the Drop Ship would contain..  at least 10...  This assume the one person in Drop Ship landing party scene (in light coat) is Crudrup or Seimetz

If not then the ship has 11-12

On the Trailer Thread or 4Chan i can detail it more as to who is where at which point and who dies at which point... but i wont here as its maybe a Spoiler....

"I think its very cheap move for them to show the facehugger catching the captain in the first trailer...its like a very anscious and lame response to fans...alien is here bois get spoiled"

The Whole Marketing is very Alien movie driven... and Poster, it leaves not much to the imagination and gives away pretty much the WHOLE Fanboy Xeno Scenes (which is very AVP or AR)

Maybe they are keeping something hidden?

I think these shots etc are to drag in the Alien Fans who was disappointed with Prometheus or never saw it or simply thought it sucked...

so then Rildey can then show them hints at Prometheus connections?

As for the Eggs... who knows... i think it wont be answered myself... it will be as ambiguous as how does the Mural/Fresco and Deacon and Hammerpedes link to the Xenomorph was in Prometheus.

So Alien fans or those who disliked Prometheus will be upset at this... but we see 3-4 Alien Monsters running around and 1-2 of those will be via Egg/Face Huger and that keep them pleased a bit.

I think Shaw is a Big Part to how the Aftermath of events that the Covenant crew arrive at..  either that or she plays a big role in explaining the Engineer intentions... but i think we wont get explained much on screen..

Hence the Prequel Book set prior to AC and after Prometheus.

I doubt Shaw or the Fans through Shaws un-shown story.. will never find or be shown some of the answers to the questions she had... and i doubt the Engineers will never be shown or touched upon..

Maybe they wont in the movie...

But the Prequel Book will

and AC sequel will as i think David redeem himself and be left with Daniels and then she is going to want Answers.. and David will give them her in the next movie

I bank on it ;)

about the covenant's destination, that is cleared up 100%, The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy(another planet), discover what they think is an uncharted(it's uncharted, they didn't know it exists) paradise

Yeah that much is clear.The question i was asking was on whether The Covenant is the first ship to arrive on paradise or not.I think it's possible that the company sent a ship looking for the Prometheus and found paradise.

EDIT 

Well, if Paradise is uncharted and they accidentally come upon a distress signal sent out by David, there would probably be an explored planet even further away in the universe (which the sleeping couples on The Covenant will colonize)? How likely is that given that not so many years (10 years later) have gone since LV-223 was discovered?

Isn’t it more likely that David sent a message to WY (perhaps saying it’s a paradise like planet) and The Covenant set out for this planet?

Yes that could very well be.

Another possibility would be that The Covenant searches in random for a paradise like planet for the colonizers (it would then still be uncharted). Then they stumble upon the distress signal from David?

Another possibility.Though i think it's possible the Planet would have been previously scouted,Sort of like how LV-223 was in Prometheus Fire and Stone.

I think WY is for sure doing something about the prometheus expedition, but covenant is bound for a different, specific planet, maybe its under false pretenses, maybe WY sent them to 'stumble upon' paradise by accident.. And i doubt they would send a ship to randomly search the universe, its just to expensive to play dumb luck, still everything is possible, maybe the script is dumb... dunno

I also wonder, im not sure if it was revealed, if this planet that everything is gonna go down at, is much much further than the Calpamos system, and its safe to assume (i guess) juggernauts are much faster than earth ships, maybe it would take more than 10 years for an earth ship to reach paradise, hell maybe covenant was even launched before prometheus
