Female Engineers?

Svanya
AdminPraetorianApril 21, 2017Was looking at the new images and realized a couple of the engineers on the planet were smaller and had more delicate features than the others. Could they be females?
Wat
No, I think my yelling was just to get the animation and emotion of the face, it sounds not of this earth now. I have a video clip but not sure if it infringes on any copyright laws or disclosures that I signed if I were to upload it here.
no idea of any connection between Prometheus or covenants engineers. Perhaps the next instalment will reveal more.
and no I don't have more engineer pics.. those were last minute shots after my makeup.
Having seen the movie... there are inconsistencies for sure..
The second set C+D do not look quite the same as A+B and in hindsight Make up like E with Contacts of F would have presented us with a more realistic looking Engineers.
But i think its a oversight, the whole scene is so quick, that people are not expected to notice the difference, well maybe that was the intention....
Ridley Scott has made this mistake and oversight with every incarnation of the Engineers, from Space Jockey to Alien Covenant.
But there are plenty of Questionable Plot Holes/Inconsistencies that allow for debate to turn this is to Questions that could indeed allow for the potential of these beings not being the same as the Prometheus Engineers.
Especially looking at the Sets, they still and more so now i have seen the movie... Give me a kind of This Place (Planet in AC) is a place those above those beings (Big Head Statues) come to this place for Sacrifices.
It also has the whole Aeon Flux Movie Plot about those beings... not so much as they are Clones, but they are a Humanity that are kept within that City alone, to be monitored by a Hierarchy above them... who view them from above..

Holy shit BoZ, that's you?! That's awesome!, never thought I'd talk to an Engineer, and about your yelling and all of that, did they have you learn some P.I.E, proto indo european?
Lol, we can only hope they'll have more screen time or dialogue in Prometheus 3 or whatever
Is that an official movie shot (the group of Engineers in the first post) or just a side-story trailer like the Peter Wayland talk.
I disliked somehow newest trailer "The Crossing" which make the Engineers look like sheep waiting for destruction, when you consider how they swarm in large groups the area beneath the Juggernaut.
A bit of mystery about this species got lost and make the film Prometheus pointless since the whole point was to seek for answers.
Just returned from seeing it... it I hadn't read this thread I would say that some of the engineers appeared female
WIsh they had more of an effort with the AC engineers. @BoZ used your pic of yourself as an extra and added dark eyes...would have made a big difference IMHO.
Oh yeah @KaliPrime that looks HEAPS better!.
This whole settlement/town with the buildings and how the local species clothings look like gives me the impression this is a sacral place.
That planet is surely not their homeworld but a place where they (the local lifeforms) probably meditate,worship a higher entity (if there is any).
It seems to have only a few cities or maybe just the one which David encountered.
If that planet was the Engineers homeworld it would be way more high tech and covered with much more surface structures which have probably counter-measures for destroying asteroids or enemy ships. In that case the little Juggernaut would be turned to ashes long before entering the atmosphere.
Keep in mind the scene with the sacrificial Engineer probably
took place approx.1.5 million of years before humanity, and even then they where space faring. Hard to image how far they have advanced since then.
So the Engineers are by far not Extinct number-wise but maybe lost some important testbed (how important, we dont know) for their grand scale life seeding experiments. That planet seem to look isolated anyways(without satellites,orbital defensive systems, mainly overgrown by wildlife). A perfect hidden/isolated place for experiments.
Note that LV-223 was supposed to be the Engineers homeworld in Prometheus with that cave paintings. We know it was instead a military outpost, while the true Paradise (another Engineer life seeding experiment?) was still hidden (till David & Shaw set course for it at the end of Promethues).
i think they had managed to hide it in plain sight, there is a female engineer with her breast exposed in the movie poster?
Lol, BoZ dis you get to meet Sr. Ridley Scott or any of the cast members, if so, how was it?
After my second viewing of covenant today.
I have spoken to people who say there are engineer women and even children in it but I think it is still unclear.
what is clear is that every statue in the engineer city and in David's drawings is masculine in features.
Even if there are women 1: there seems to be very few 2: they could still be a sterile race.
As for there being children, there was one smaller looking engineer that I noticed but this could easily just be a smaller 'male', or female if they are definitely there, which again, for me is unclear.
it would make sense to me if the engineers were in fact unable to procreate as it would explain their worship of the creation of the xeno through the black goo and humans as wombs.
it would make even more sense, in my opinion, if the engineers were genderless and/or asexual. Adding women just makes it more confusing.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie and despite some stupid plotholes and things,(similar to but not as bad as Prometheus), the intrigue of the creation of the perfect organism/the engineers' religion won out.
Not Ridley scott Xen, but some of the others were there. I'm naive with any actor or actresses but heard some of the others talking.
I never know who's who.
After seeing the movie 3 times I can tell that in the flashback the engineers appear to be androgynous in some aspects, there is a small one that could be a girl but also looks alot like a boy so it's my guess that if there are females they look very similar to the males, the difference in height doesn't matter in my opinion, also there is a special white robe engineer that shows for like half a second and he stands out from the others cause he is on the staircase and you can see he is much older than the rest, I theorize that the engineers we see on this planet are only a small colony since they seem to only have inhabited the citadel.
