A Better Fate for Shaw?

I liked how they executed Shaw's fate. They left it mysterious up until we see her cadaver and it harkened back to Alien 3 (which I'm sure brought back fond memories/feelings lol). Prometheus was never Shaw's story but David's. I really liked the Shaw character as well as she was one tough little son of a bitch and she wasn't dumb. Yeah she had faith and was a bit naive but like BigDave you saw her character grow and adapt. I think that's what David found so interesting about her, her survival instincts. He wanted that for his perfect organism and I think we'll see the same thing with Daniels as she had a knack for survival as well, now David has plenty to experiment with. He has a thing for tough, strong women. I think Ridley is trying to break new ground with these prequels instead of rehashing such as having a female protagonist survive through each film and instead we're getting a male antagonist this go around. 

do u think it would have the same feel or just be wrong if say, Tennessee is the one who survives awakening and a possible next instalment? r we stuck with a female lead in the franchise do u think? would it seem weird to have a male lead?

@Thoughts_Dreams

Lol, I don't know why but your hatred of Shaw really made me laugh. Ok, I'm glad someone was able to benefit from her demise then. At least we can both agree that Daniels is a good character whom we hope to see again, maybe she'll get some more character development in the next movie. 

@ali81

It wouldn't bother me to see Tennessee survive instead of Daniels. He's not really the sort of character you'd expect to see in that role. It'd be really interesting.

@Vivisected I agree with you about Tennessee. His character was MUCH better and enjoyable than Daniels' whining, IMHO.

@Starlogger

Lol, I'm not sure that's exactly what I said. I'm sure I'd be a little whiny my self in Daniels' situation. But yes, Tennessee would be an interesting protagonist!

The Alien: Covenant Origins summary mentions Hideo Yutani just after the merger and the prequel could stretch back to the Quiet Eye Yutani Corporation technology that intercepted the beloved Dr. Elizabeth Shaw sending a message to Peter Weyland. 

And maybe sneak in a mouth cameo from you know who Ati...

@Vivisected Yes I agree, Daniels WAS whiney, lol...

Ingeniero - Ha, thanks for that cameo, but I think it's time to move on. Nowadays I'm fascinated by Olga Kurylenko and Theo James, I'd like to see their bodyparts in the next Alien movie:

Ok Ati. I respect that you have moved on but I will still carry a torch for my beloved Dr. Elizabeth Shaw.

Ingeniero -- Haa, Elizabeth is ok, :) As for the moving on, I was talking about Logan's mouth. :D

@Starlogger

lol.

Also, don't worry guys. David may still just have made and killed a bunch of Shaw clones, like this:

That's a much happier scenario...right? ^-^

I dont think David kills Shaw.When Daniels asks him what you did to her he answers the same thing im going to do to you.And then he kisses her.Maybe David kissed Shaw?

Oh, he did. I think he experimented on her for as long as he was able to whilst she was alive, then killed her in order to use her body and organs to further his research.

Cloning is an interesting concept, however, given that we only see its possible in AR, 200 years after Alien 3, would it even be possible in the late 21st century?

@Seph7

I'd say David's a little ahead of the curve when it comes to genetic engineering.

I really hope to see Elizabeth again. She was a such lovely character to me. There are a lot of opportunities, for example, she will be resurrected by Engineers, or she will come back as an android by Weyland Yutani.

Genx - 'or she will come back as an android by Weyland Yutani'

That's a good idea as well, but I hope she will return alive.
