I made a thread earlier regarding this topic which was for some reason never posted, so ill try again.

AWAKENING:

I got some interesting ideas for the next movie (which is rumored  to be Awakening, the bridge between Prometheus and Covenant). Im so excited for the possibility to see Shaws journey and their discovery of (what i presume) a subspecies of the engineers and their "paradise". Since there is 10 years between Covenant and Prometheus, there is alot of room for an interesting story. I was also picturing a parallell story where we follow a small rescue team who set out to explore what happened to the Prometheus at LV-223. This would set up for some nice Alien action as we would get to see the Deacon in its fully grown size (hopefully) and ofcourse the black goo wrecking havoc. Maybe also get more information of what happened at the base, what the engineers purpose was and exploring more of the backstory of both the engineers and their bioweapon. What i also find really interesting is the idea that they might find vickers and find out she is in fact a robot. I dont really find this that far fetched since the reason her not knowing it could be because she was an experiment by Peter Weyland. But i guess she must have been a different kind of android with red blood to make her believe the lie...

"PARADISE"

Another forum member suggested that the Derelict (in Alien) is a female reproductive system. I found this to be a really fascinating idea. Would probably also explain why the spacejockey in Alien is fused with the chair. The ship, the jockey and everything in it is in a way one living organism. 

I would love if there was in fact a "space jockey" race that created the engineers. This would explain the differences between the derelicts and size of the engineers. Maybe the engineers were just worshiping the space jockeys and mimicking their technology? The derelict in Prometheus/Covenant is clearly different than the one in Alien, much less Biomechanical and more "sterile and metallic". The derelict in Alien is so "lifelike" in a way it all hangs together (the biological look of it, the jockey fused with the chair, everything connected). 

Maybe this race is dead and when David goes to their homeworld he uses some of their DNA to mutate himself to be a bigger, stronger biomechanoid who can operate their ships (maybe becoming the spacejockey in Alien) which would make him vulnerable to the xenomorphs and alien pathogen.

Then he would use the colonists to produce the eggs on the ship.

I know im running wild here but i love these ideas. What do you guys think? 

EDIT: Updated the part about Meredith Vickers.

LOL Glad this has posted now..

Nice Topic to debate....  i am not sure we will know what happened to Shaw and all those Questions.. well we will but only via a Book..

Its looking Shoe-horned for David to go to LV-223 and the results of the next movie set after the year 2105 leads to the Derelict... But i know some will be disappointed with this because of the whole Timeline and how the Ship looked Ancient and the Timeline..

I have a idea which i may start to work into a Draft, that can bring back the Space Jockey being Large and Ancient, but i wont post it here as this is your Topic for you ideas and so i dont want to try and Steal any Thunder ;)

Absolutely the Derelict looked more Organic than the Juggernauts, the Space Jockey (13-15ft) is larger than the LV-223 Engineers 8ft (in Space Suits) and slightly less Organic.

So it does appear, and we can assume (but may be in-correct) that maybe the LV-223 Engineers had Stolen, or Re-Engineered the Technology.

Shaw asked who created them as far as the Engineers, Ridley said he did not want to meet GOD in the first movie.. So indeed we can speculate that their is a Hierarchy above the Engineers.

We could maybe even see a Parallel kind of Story to David's, in that the Engineers was indeed a Creation by some other Race (Space Jockey) who are Taller and use similar Space Suits but it could be left open to how Human they would look.

Like David, the Engineers Rebel against their creators and wish them destroyed and then they Re-engineer their Technology.

There is a Story to be Told right there.

i sure hope so!!

if prometheus is going to have more input in the franchise remains to be seen

so if you have some ideas for potential scenarios or stories then that could turn out to be all we have.  i would be very interested to hear anything anyone has on prometheus/engineer stories.  i have some ideas myself and have spent a lot of hours theorising potential background and mythology connected with what we see on 223 in prometheus.

I would definitely like to see the Deacon in action, although I'm not sure if we'll see it again. In the Prometheus Fire and Stone comics it is implied that it became a huge organic mountain due to exposure to the black goo, and thus I'm not sure if he can still have this fate if he appears in Awakening. Although I don't think Ridley would care too much, he's probably not afraid to retcon a couple of things.

I dont think the fire and Stones comic is Canon. Doesnt that include Predators?

@Working Joe

Fire and Stone is canon even though it has Yautja.

My god please tell me thats not the case. I like predator as a standalone movie but i hate the " AVP" idea. I think its horrible. Even Ridley himself has stated he hates the predator/Alien mashup. 

I doubt it the comics hold much value canonwise.

Fox owns it and Fox says what is canon. Even some of the newer novels involve predators and they're sold as canonical. 

As for Mr. Scott, I've chosen to ignore him. He changes his mind more often than my neighbor changes her undies.

My literary works might not be, and may never be, Canonical but I suspect you'll enjoy the directions I explore.
Unlike FOX, I listen to the fanbase, and aside from a buncha bratcats I have no one kibbitzing in my works.

The ALIEN franchise might belong to FOX, but the realms of FanFiction are open to all.

I will say this, at risk of being spoilery:

1; I ONLY base things off Movie Canon, and extrapolate off such as need be, but am careful to try to work within the 'Ridley Scott Frame' of things.

2; I'm not doing this as a summer-box-office-cash-in, obviously. The Novel is well over 60,000 words and the tie-in short story is building rapidly.

2; I don't care what David does, he didn't create the eggs found aboard the Derelict on LV-426, which is Ancient and at least a few centuries old. It is also a quite different model of ship from the juggernauts seen in PROMETHEUS and seen in the trailers for ALIEN: Covenant.

3; David as Space Jockey is too simplistic and violates the temporal Canon.

4; LV-426 has a story all it's own.

5; I will be addressing the Deacon's fate, it takes a turn I think folks will find satisfyingly different.

6; The Big Chap does appear, I mean The Alien, not a drooling aggro space-ant or some bastardized creation by a mad android.

7; There's a more thorough, intelligently conducted and carried out exploration of the buildings on LV-223. There is yet one Engineer to be awakened.

Then ill just ignore the comics, as long as they dont make it to the big screen..

Just as resurrection and A3, avp doesnt exist in my head. It worked as a videogame, nothing more.

I cant imagine which Alien fan would like the predators to live in the same universe, just ruins the the credibility and realistic feel imo.

How do u know so much about your neighbours underwear btw

Blackwinter:

I do not think it was THE big chap we saw in Covenant, it looks way too different than the one in Alien and it begraves quite different as well. Hell even the chestburster was completely different. 

 

Im also wondering what info you might have about the deacon?

SPOILERS FOR Alien:Covenan

 

 

I haven't seen A:C yet but another member who (can't remember the name) has stated that the movie doesn't show what David uses to create the Morph. It leaves room for interpretation. Maybe he uses pre-existing material, knowledge etc. If that's the case the whole "David created him" debate is only based on an interview with Sir "I'm done with the dragons". Like I said before I'm ignoring him.

I go with the stuff that is officially released. Personally I don't mind crossovers since i like both franchises. I however do not like the AVP movies. They're a pile of wasted potential to say the least.

It doesnt really show you how he created the xenomorph, but implies it heavily through visuals and dialouge.

Exactly right!

When I mention 'The Big Chap', I mean The Alien. :D

The critter seen in the ads for ALIEN: Covenant, well, that's a David created beastie, as we all know. It's cool, but it ain't The Big Chap. ;)

I have no 'inside' info, but based on what little is canonically known of the Deacon I am making some careful extrapolations as to it's nature and such.

As I said I haven't seen it yet. Maybe it's implied but that would "plot hole" Scott's own Alien movie in terms of the jockey. Well, I'll see then, I suppose. ;)

How do you know that will plothole Alien? For what it looks like, David will be heavily involved with the derelict and its cargo on LV-426. Not to spoil anything but the ending in Covenant + what is shown of David and his creations and actions in the film, heavily implies he is responsible and foreshadows what will happen in the next film and how everything ties into the first Alien
