Michael Fassbender Would Love to Return for a Covenant Sequel!

I think the "i will do the same to you" can be ambiguous.

What had David done to Dr Shaw?   Experimented on her to Create his Monsters...

But then we see him try and KISS Daniels... we could certainly assume that David had Grown Feelings for Dr Shaw and became Deluded that he could have some Relationship with her...   so he maybe made some Advances to her and she FREAKED out.... became concerned...

David does-not take Rejection well... its likely that Dr Shaw also Discovers what David had done to Planet 4 and the Engineers and the Experiments, and then David likely gave some Excuse and Reason, saying he was doing it for HER and offer her a chance to Create a New Eden... could he have said he could find a way to allow her to BARE Child?

So again she maybe Rejected this too, and then realized David has gone Crazy, and so then tries to Escape, which then David takes as Dr Shaw being the same as every other Human, and then WELL.... this is when he decides he has OTHER plans for her.

You have to Wonder.... if Dr Shaw had also gained more than Platonic Love for David... and she had welcomed him Destroying those Engineers who wanted to Destroy Mankind, and then using Experiments and Engineer DNA he could allow Dr Shaw to give Birth to Humanoids and Start a New Eden.

Then would David had turned out the way he had?

Why i am drawn from RS comments, that maybe David would see Origae-6 as a way to Start a New Civilization, that he will intend for those Innocent/Pure Embryos which he may Evolve/Perfect as his own Humanity and Govern over with some kind of Love/Care....

Until some Humans arrive and David's Children then wonder what they are seeing, and they become Corrupt with knowledge the Humans hand down and Discover David is NO GOD, and then maybe the Discover other Truths about David and then the £$"£% Hits the Fan and David has to UNLEASH his Horrors (Xenomorph) on this World!

I have a feeling that Raised by Wolves may carry a lot of ideas that RS may have intended for Alien Covenant 2 the kind of TV show that would be, i feel would not be Accepted in a Alien Movie for a lot of Fans..

Many are plain and simply Fed up with the whole David ARC and it being about him.

David is a warning about what could happen if an A.I is set free of restriction & human control. In PROMETHEUS, he was the flip-side of the Clone Engineers, who turned on their own masters. By COVENANT, the damage he sustained plus lack of maintenance has resulted in his maniacal behaviour.

That reminded me of Ash, when he attacked Ripley, hell bent on killing her, fellatio style, with the rolled up magazine. Both he & David are 'impotent', which seems to contribute to their treatment of the women who question their actions or motives. It provokes seemingly berserk behaviour!

The problem is that in COVENANT, on the one hand we have mad scientist David's over-the-top Peter O'toole-Lawrence impression, with it's seriousness, intellectual rumination, flute obsession & literary quotation, set against the Covenant crew as monster fodder, action-horror storyline. Those elements do not gel successfully. The more I watch COVENANT, it feels like two films spliced together.

Lone "David is a warning about what could happen if an A.I is set free of restriction & human control.[...] By COVENANT, the damage he sustained plus lack of maintenance has resulted in his maniacal behaviour."

Can't you see a contradiction in your statements there? Even if they had put all those restrictions on him what good they would have been in case of severe damage? This could work only as a cautionary tale against AI plain and simple. Which is the same old story since the appearance of the term Robot.

And why would Weyland make a "perfect" boy with sex drives but also impotent?

@BigDave

"which then David takes as Dr Shaw being the same as every other Human", yet he does not have a shrine to every human and a full collection of porn mags of them. This is the kind of behavior of stalkers (rapists) if anything.

I think the world presented in Raised by Wolves will not have the deranged sex offender baggage to it. But the funny thing is Netflix is Releasing I am Mother next week beating RS at this game.

@ignorantGuy

It is the same old story, Ridley is the one who discussed the dangerous A.I. aspect in interviews. The irony being that in trying to get away from the over-cooked beast, he focused on a crazy A.I. which is also nothing new. David's evolution has been interesting nevertheless, though not to everyone's liking.

At the end of the day there is very little in Sci-fi which has not been seen before. Old themes & concepts are constantly being recycled & reinvented by script writers & directors. 

Why would you create a synthetic who has the potential to go haywire in the way that David did? (It wasn't until after ALIEN that the ASIMOV protocols were put in place.) You would think that someone as clever & influential as Peter Weyland would have had more foresight. Apparently not!

Just to confuse matters, Walter apparently had 'upgrades', which had nothing to do with Weyland, but whoever took control of Weyland Corp after Weyland's death. Yet, Ash was not programmed with those protocols. It's rather messy as it stands.

@Lone Ash was as a Hyperdyne Systems model according to Aliens, not made by WY. As was Bishop according to avp.fandom wiki. And you know what? The relationship between Ash and Bishop seem similar to David and Walter, both were upgraded with emotion inhibitors. How can something full of nostalgia be scary?  

Good point ignorantGuy Now we just need to ask Ridley if he considers that canon in his Alien Universe! :)

"I think the world presented in Raised by Wolves will not have the deranged sex offender baggage to it"

Certainly what i mean is there was more to David than that, and it appears Ridley Scotts comments regarding the Sequel would be about AI and what World David would create.  That will NOT be about Xenomorphs.

Looking into his comments about AI he said that Replicants are AI and looking at how he claimed the Planet 4 Engineers are the Originals and looking at the Tale/Themes of Prometheus/Bladerunner.

Then looking at the Crossing Viral, and the Alien Covenant Trailer Song.  I was drawn to David having the Potential to be kind to a degree, depending how he felt treated.  And so i was drawn to think David may Evolve the Human Embryo's to become Evolved Humanoids which David would Raise and Govern over and who knows what kind of Creation Story and Rules he sets for them.

Then when another Human Ship comes in and then its what interaction between these Humanoids and Humans, and then what impact this has on Davids Children.

And so we see that Knowledge is a KEY thing... David was allowed more Free-will and Knowledge compared to Walter, Lucifer the same compared to the other Angels.   And its the Upbringing, Free-Will and Knowledge that Shaped Mankind to become what was against what the Engineers would have intended.

My Prometheus sequels ideas i had discussed on here about 2013-2014 had touched upon a similar Plot...  David and Dr Shaw would go to a World to Discover Engineers and HUMANS, these Humans brought up in ways that are not Corrupt as Mankind became....  then Dr Shaw interacts with these Humans and they learn of her Faith, and her Mission to Discover her Creator, and this Starts to Interest those Humans, and so the Engineers become Concerned and then aim to SILENCE Dr Shaw before she can Influence those other Humans.

This in part seems similar to the Raised by Wolves Plot, and in part its something i was drawn to maybe where RS was taking the Sequel (prior to Raise by Wolves Announcement).

Raised by Wolves seems to be about TWO Androids who are Raising Children on a Distant World, and have passed on certain Knowledge that Maintains a Certain Culture, then when incoming Humans with different Religious Beliefs turn up they Influence the Civilization those Androids are trying to Raise, and this has some Complications and maybe Confrontations.

I had pondered if Alien Covenant 2 would be similar, as in David is those Androids, and the Children are the Embryos which David will raise and Evolve...  Then things go to POT once Humans from Earth arrive.

Thats what i was drawn to from RS comments...

If we only go by the Advent and Alien Covenant, then you would be drawn to David just experimenting on those Humans and Embryos to get Thousands of Xenomorphs and then he needs a Ship thats by LV-426 so you assume he would take the Covenant to LV-223

So David continues his Agenda to Evolve/Mass Create his Xenomorphs and Unleash them on Humanity!  But his comments regarding the sequel seems to indicate to me that THIS is not the case.. NOT for the Next Movie... but certainly things will be very Xenomorph in the 4th Prequel.
