Being Emotional About Characters, Massive Issue It Is

It's Bishop's gruesome demise that grips me.
I liked Shaw's death. Shaw was a complex and sympathetic character so I like that she was denied the answers she sought and that she was used as a tool to implement horrors she would never have condoned.
To me that's chilling and that's what I like to see in a horror movie."
I agree completely. I found Shaw's death far more horrifying than any Xeno could be. Xenos have the jump-shock factor, but it's over with pretty quickly. I find suspense and psychopathy far more jarring and a mind-f*ck. Why I love Hannibal so much! David reminds me of him...
The first few times I saw Covenant, seeing what David did to Shaw actually made me cry... It was horrifyingly sad.

MemberChestbursterAug-27-2017 7:49 AMI'd say Shaw.
And IRaptus, please, your mention of "that" thing makes me cry...but not because I mourned its death...quite the contrary.
@Vivisected well done on Bishop. I like it!

MemberChestbursterAug-27-2017 9:13 AMYes! So agreed on all counts! ...David is very Hannibal-esque.
Much appreciated! I feel pretty strongly on this matter, lol.
(Also, I have to admit, I'm embarrassingly glad someone actually read it! I was afraid it was too much of a wall-of-text, so I thought my impassioned little Bishop eulogy had disappeared into obscurity, much like poor, unregarded Bishop himself. So THANK YOU!...for indulging my long-windedness.)
