This is your final warning for major, major spoilers forAlien: Covenant.
Prometheuswas billed as a prequel toAlien, but it was also a huge departure from that 1979 classic.
Is this Ridley Scotts pointed attempt to scratch out as much of the last films events and start again?
(Alternatively, maybe David killed Shaw because she wouldnt stop singing John Denver hits.)
As Ridley Scottdescribed the characterin 2015, Hes the evil son of a bitch!
Hes the good-looking one who gets all the girls and goes to all the nightclubs.
The good one is kind of dull and depressing!
Transparent plotting aside,Covenantleaves Ridley Scott with plenty of possibilities for another film.
Did David discover something about the Engineers while he was alone on the Juggernaut and Shaw was asleep?
Presumably, the Engineers David destroyed werent the only examples of their species in any case.
For one thing, they looked less tall and less technologically advanced than the ones on LV-223.
The xenomorph itself has some evolving to do before the franchise marries up with the events ofAlien.
And what of the Alien Queen?
Did David engineer that too or did it somehow evolve by itself betweenAlienandAliens?
What exactly is the deal with all these flutes that keep appearing in these prequels?
Will it emerge that the eerie, piping music composed by Jerry Goldsmith forAlienwas actually performed by David himself?
Its possible that several of these questions will never be answered especially the one about the flutes.
Scott, then, has two films and 18 years of history to bring his acid-dripping saga full circle…
