THE GAYEST MOMENTS IN PROMETHEUS PROVIDED BY DAVID

Alien: Covenant Forum Topic

I would not claim that David in Prometheus is gay – we have no enough pieces of information concerning this question. But it is easy to see that he provides the gayest atmosphere in the movie.

This feature of the character is not a problem (for me) at all, but in the light of the new insight revealed by Scott regarding the question ”who David really is”, we can jump to the conclusion that David may have been Peter Weyland’s lover.

 

I had the intention to focus on a theoretical gay relationship between Weyland and David, and I think the possibility is the most important factor of this idea. I have never watched Prometheus with 'gay thoughts' in my mind - wow, that's a strange sentence - but Scott's new comment regarding the first minutes of Alien: Covenant pushed the limits in my view. Scott hints that the beginning of the movie (with more info about the relationship between Weyland and David) will be shocking.

As you know, Blade Runner (directed by Scott) reveals a scene where Tyrell (the creator) and Roy (the created replicant) have a kiss.

This is not a gay kiss - or at least it is much more than a gay kiss. It is a kiss between creator and creation. It is an act of becoming one. Can it be an act of a covenant?

Tyrell and the replicant/Weyland and the android... Creators and creations.

Blade Runner shows a kiss before the death of the creator.

Will Alien: Covenant show a kiss after the birth of the creation?

Is it possible that we should be prepared for something similar at the beginning of Alien: Covenant?

Vickers: "What did he say? WHAT DID HE SAY DAVID?"

David: "He said to try harder... by the way sis, where DO we keep the Crisco?"

Yes, I agree that David comes across as slightly whoopsie, but that's been made up for by the rather butch couple in A:C, so I'm a happy bunny.

Damn I only released a teaser page of my non-erotical Fifty Shades of Phallus.

Guess I'll have to toss that one away then....

 

Ok but seriously I get it ;)

S.M – I did not want to hurt you if you are gay. We are just talking. We are talking about a possibility. And I think it is an exciting possibility. I know they say that the gay couple of Prometheus is the Fifield-Milburn duo, but I believe David provides more remarkable features of the atmosphere in question. However, it does not mean that he is gay – and nobody claimed that. So please do not be so rude.

As for the emotion mystery, there are some scenes in Prometheus where one can feel that David does have emotions.

Then make a point that can actually be discussed instead of posting pictures of David colouring his hair and being neat and generally indulging in lazy stereotypes.

I tried to help you above discussing sex synths, but you're still not taking this anywhere.

S.M - I don't need your help and I don't agree with you. The topic is not about hair colouring and stereotypes. If you claim that, it means that you haven't read the text or you have problems with reading comprehension. If you think there is no anything to discuss here, please leave the thread. So simple. You don't have to read my posts and make comments.

Comment by S.M to Neomorph in the CGI... thread:

'Aren't you all just precious delicate little petals when someone disagrees with your desperately important "opinions".'

No comment.

Back to the sex synth/Sex Doll angle. Is there a reason why these synths couldn’t be programmed to respond accordingly to one’s orientation based on a need/tactic as a persuasive measure to gain information, plans etc?

If they can make droids as realistic as the ones we see in the films, I can't imagine there would be any limitations other than the ones the creators morally impose, or are legally required.

Since they don't have behavioural inhibitors until the mid 22nd century it would seem the technology got ahead of the law somehow.

Ingeniero, thank you for comment number 60. Short summary: this useless post helped create at least one useful expression, the dildomorph. I think this is the new name of the chestburster. Please use it.

Chris, this topic was not used by me against anyone. If you warn me, you must warn S.M as well for providing comments like: Aren't you all just precious delicate little petals when someone disagrees with your desperately important "opinions".

Please warn S.M as well. That would be correct.

It's not a warning aimed at you specifically, more so it's a reminder of community standards. There was some serious concepts which could be explored in this topic, despite the comedic manner in which it came to be created. But this isn't a he said, she said situation, nor am I placing blame here. I'm just preventing a topic derailment and suggesting you, S.M and whoever else was riled up from the discussion to take a breather and realize arguing with strangers on a forum is pointless. This place was created for fans to enjoy and have fun, not bicker. If you have a problem with another member you're welcome to message them privately (remaining respectful) and sort out any miscommunications there, but the public forum is not the place for it. It only detracts from the topic and breaks up the conversation.

There was no comedic manner added to the post, at least not by me. Thank you.

This brings a whole new meaning and questions to the

"TRY HARDER"

Message Weyland gave David

I do like where you was going with this as far as the Blade Runner connection... and so who knows?

@Chris

I wonder if David is given a bit of a Male Personality to fit in with his Male look or indeed if he has no Gender not only Aesthetically but in terms of Emotionally..

In the Outakes though did Fassbender not joke to Theron about his Slong! lol

I would assume in the future that however, when we create Androids nearly as Advanced then a Market would be for Anatomically Correct Parts.

As far as the big secret as we find out who David is...

I really had a idea about this even as far back as when i was working on my draft, which i then had covered when we finally got some information about the Prologue Scene... basically how David has his memories transferred model to model but only to the Prototypes that are Weylands Personal Android and so this gives him his Soul and makes him Immortal and i think this is where the Prologue will touch upon...

But Alas......

Alien Covenant has Evolved... from the plans for Prometheus 2 and Ridleys Vission before John Logan did a Re-write

And Maybe Ridley Scott has lost his Marbles and come up with a new Plot that would do more injustice than AVPR did to AVP... or maybe its Logans idea.

So some of the concerns and changes now are..

*Juggernaught  = Derelict (could be another one he later gains)

*Paradise  = LV-426

*David Creates the Xenomorph (Totally)

*Covenant 2000 colonists become the Eggs.

And so indeed the theory some have about DAVID is actually Weylands Soul in Davids body could be TRUE

They could go this route, but i think its totally poor writing and does not add up with what Prometheus showed...

But then those other points dont either..... yet worryingly who can rule them out of the way they INTEND to take us.

First of all didn't Vickers in order to prove that she wasn't a synthetic person, have sex with Captain Janek. Secondly David was born that way, it's not like he has a choice of whether he's homosynthetic or heterosynthetic. I fully support his decision.

I think I got the same response as Ripley.  ;)  

Maybe it was just an off-hand remark that was not meant to further Ati's discussion in any meaningful way.

This is even too bizarre for me.

Then again Weyland could have designed David to be "equipped" for every scenario...

@Neomorph. Too late..I'm taking "Dildomorph" to the patent office as we speak...

ali, the descriptive phrase dildomorph was created by Neomorph. :)

Dave, thanks, I wanted to highlight the possible intimate parallel between the two movies, and this exciting creator-creation relationship, and I did not want to over-explain it since we have no much information concerning the characters - we have to wait until May.

Karstenphd, thank you for these words: homosynthetic, heterosynthetic. They look and sound in a beautiful way. (No joke, serious comment.)

Damn Suwhited you beat me to it lol, but maybe you'll be more successful in your approach. 

If they asked me "so what is it?", I'd *look at the table, look at the ceiling, look out the window then look back at them* 

"Errr...it's um...."..

"So...err....."  

Needless to say I would need to bring this guy with me as support:

@Ati thanks for making this topic, great fun! Sorry to get OT but I just can't help it sometimes lol
