The world that the AI might create as a leader if he finds himself on a new planet. We have actually quite a big layout for the next one.”

I have no problem with the A.I. direction.
Xeno's are cooked and not really 'evil'...just scary bugs. Jump scare monsters.
Don't really want the stumbling bumbling Weyland corp sending Space truckers or small families to secure the 'Perfect organism!' as a driving plot..that's been done........(You'd think a trillion dollar company can secure and find their own perfect organism/xeno...not rely on luck)
Hehe A whole movie with only Fassbender-Droids. lol XD

Oh no, not more shit.
I would rather see a poop monster try to infect people turning them into poop monsters to erase humanity rather than seeing a whole Alien connected movie only about AI. He is really trying to sink the whole franchise with the AI crap.
No chance that I would support that. That idea sucks so F it.
Someone should tell him to handle the visuals and stop interfering with the story. Understand that there are people (other then me yes) that don't like the focus of David at least try to balance it and not make it into a AI crap show.
Tiwaz I thought RS alluded to hundreds of Davids or Walters in an interview last winter?
MonsterZero i respectfully disagree about the beast being cooked. The classic "drone" might be a bit overdone, but the introduction of the Deacon and Neomorphs add a whole new dimension and layer to the Morph dynamics.
It just needs some imagination and a little understanding of ecosystem trophic cascades to open a whole new level of horror and threat from the beast :)
RS didn't do the beast any favours with that lacklustre climax on the Covenant though
He did, dk? Must've missed that one. On the other hand I started ignoring Ridley's "lost plots" since he says a lot of "things" when the day is long. TBH I just hope this is just another blackout...
I mean this called ALIEN not TERMINATOR IN SPACE. What comes next, Schwarzenegger in a wheelchair, throwing toothpicks at a queen while shouting "I'll be buck!"?

Tiwaz You are correct that he says lots of things. I cannot site a specific interview.
“I mean this called ALIEN not TERMINATOR IN SPACE. What comes next, Schwarzenegger in a wheelchair, throwing toothpicks at a queen while shouting "I'll be buck!"? “
:D :D
I am laughing so much at the thought of that. Thanks Tiwaz
I despise the route that the franchise is taking now.
I would rather see a parody of Terminator rather than a new movie that is trying to be serious that is focusing on David. There are some years left until the next movie is out and I am already worried that it will make AVP look good, yes seriously.
*grins* You're welcome, TD.

Poor old HAL, trying to do what's right and driven mad by contradicting directives, given to him by man. That's an AI i feel sorry for.

DK: Sure, if they will throw poop at eachother. :D
Movie title: The poop-wars of the androids
Uhm... Btw what does adroid poop look like? ... lol

Tiwaz: Well human crap looks like.. eh.
Let's say that androids eat metal and it gets processed in their "stomachs" (in " " since it is not a real stomach) it would probably end up like a thinner and less heavy version of it, like metal foil maybe?
They made the AI too human, even its stomach. :D
An army of pooping androids lead by fuhrer David the uber-pooper. :D
At least I can make fun of the movie if it turns out to be real shit, like malice I guess.
