Comcast Outbids Disney

Well Ridley Scott did think the Franchise should be where a Star Trek/Star Wars are.....

This could only apply to his vision regarding CREATION as in the Engineers and what other Races have they created or have came into contact with.

Because the Franchise before the Prequels was all about the Xenomorph and Ripley and about Humans being placed in Jeopardy by the Xenomorph....   There was a lot of stuff in the Background (Company, its Agenda and History and AI/Synthetics) but these were never explored in any Depth...

And so trying to make a Star Wars as in release of Alien Movie after Alien Movie would just NOT work unless they introduce more than just the Xenomorph as Ridley Scott once said... "there is only so much snarling and Chest Pumping" that you can do before it well gets OLD and Cooked..

So it will be interesting to see WHAT Elements of the Franchise, (also considering what the Prequels touched on) and what route that Disney would choose to explore IF it considers making  a Alien set of Movies is worthwhile.

Excellent point BigDave.

"This could only apply to his vision regarding CREATION as in the Engineers and what other Races have they created or have came into contact with."

I would like to see if someone else unleashed the xenomorph on the Engineers and they suffered a setback.

Indeed its all ambiguous and we cant rule out if these Engineers had been in contact with the Xenomorph well Related Organism in the past, we see it in the Mural/Fresco and maybe we have to ASK... Why, When and is this Event/Interaction only intended for Earth, was it only tested on LV-223 and Did it come from LV-223.

so its still open as far as connections with Xenomorph/Parasitic Organism in context to the Engineers...

When talking about other Races, i was implying that maybe and likely Earth is not the only World they had Seeded/Evolved and then do all Worlds they interact with have Exactly or Similar Life to Earth...  are there many Humanoid Races and how similar are they.

Then IF indeed there are Many Worlds and Races that can thank the Engineers for playing their Part, (No Engineers, No Humanoid Alien Races) IF this is correct.... then the WHY as in the purpose for Creating Life on Multiple Worlds because maybe the BIGGEST Question in the Franchise.

We cant rule out to be used as Hosts for Xenomorph related Organisms?  But there is NO 100% Proof to say this is what the reason is too.

The Alien Covenant poster was interesting... maybe its a Easter Egg and has no LITERAL or intentional connection at all... But it does imply Humanoid beings, much like the Engineers having unleashed upon them Xenomorph Related Beasts!
