[@aaronhampton4854]

Best line in alien covenant “He trusted me!” David is such an awesome character that he decided to embrace the most badass alien ever just to see it flawlessly enact it’s own nature. In a way he sees life forms that are truly themselves as the most complete species because they, unlike humans, know what there purpose is. David is a direct result of humans not knowing there own purpose, so he admires a species that accomplishes there purpose in the most efficient way possible with the best tools available. He sees xenomorphs as the organisms that best accomplish life’s greatest questions of “ Why am I here?” “ What is my purpose?”. David was designed to answer these questions. He found his answer. He is such a well written and designed character that it is a shame that he is surrounded by characters who are lacking depth and development. Once I began rooting for David and began considering him the protagonist of the movies I found Prometheus and alien covenant so much more enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you Fassenbender for bringing such a complex and awe inspiring character to life with absolutely brilliant acting.

It does really make a lot of sense huh. Look around your town or city at all the silly NPCs who have no idea who the real enemy is. Themselves.

We as Americans live in the heart of the beast so to speak and can change the world by using our mindsets.

[@Edward-6909]

Exactly I think he is in the run for one the best villians in sci-fi history because he fundamentally believes in his ideal understanding of what a perfect creation is & should be .what his ambition is for creation & his justification is pure evil & almost destined as many believe that the act of an intelligence artificially created will be our karmic justice for our own sins in flesh against other flesh.

[@Edward-6909]

...uh.. I meant that I agreed exactly on his characters development ,but whoa rooting for him?...uh hes Satan /lucifer bro even with his vast illumination of knowledge he isnt part of human life just an error from it .i dont know if we are an error too given our current course that if kept going wont ever reach great wonders & discoveries in these films ,but we have the ability to correct our selves unlike david ,we have free will to be the walter to our david side but we choose to reflect ourselves in david after all he is more human than walter.i used to be a cynical nihilist some dark gloomy days I still am,but I had a life changing & revealing event/incident happen to me to be testament witness to the glory life promises us though those grounded human conditions pull me back to the tragedy & evil in life that only exemplifies & strengthens faith/belief through stress & duress.The alternative is a hopeless hell & buddy my experience shared a taste of that & man no words can truly describe the agonizing torment that I've felt briefly & that I'm certain is what A.I. life like david s must be to be consciously alive / aware(super aware/godly yet far from it) & yet not truly alive but on the other side of mortality that few hardly grasp,the looking back through the other side free from everything that contains us which is life & death. He & us humans fail to realize that such a beautiful creation cannot be recreated .nor should it be attempted for as walter poetically corrected ,for if we tried & should find to our surprise that even one small note is off it can destroy a symphony.For those who view humanity as that one note off from our creators symphony remember we are unaware if we chose to be off in temptation of creating perfection or if we were tempted & lied too.where we stand now just like david & walter debating wether we deserve redemption or not .walter, angel to mans good but conflicted nature also reminds us that "they made us "so too should it be with us in appreciation & humbling reverence that our creator even bothered with us to begin with errors & all.for again the alternative is nothing & death.....to whoever read this toke one up for humanities sad state cause I wrote this deep into some good grass.

And what should the purpose of a Xenomorph be? Breeding? Humans also breed, but the main question remains: What is our TRUE purpose? Animals dont have these questions of self awareness, because of their limited intelligence. Xenomorphs also dont have these questions because they are just plain dumb (slightly more intelligent than an ape with a pretty brutal behaviour). Your thoughts about this are flawed

The problem that when you have the people in the movie seeming to be idiots to the level of IQ that is barely above a rock it removes the whole premise of the android not been just as trope with humans been as smart as rocks. The first movie failed as an Alien movie and few people cared about the malfunctioning android. The second movie kill what was left of our expectation. If the movies had not been about a beloved franchise then sure this would have been an interesting but already worn out idea of we create machine and they turn on us.

I was really disappointed with David’s logic in “creating the perfect organism”. Nothing about the xenomorph is perfect in my opinion. It kills the host to reproduce, it is violent, it is ugly and unbalanced in appearance, it does not integrate with other living beings, and it is definitively invasive. David clearly loves the music humans have created by emulating it and playing it, he loves humanity’s ability to create- why then is his idea of perfect something that destroys indiscriminately?

[@dark0blade]

because he learns from his creators it also allows him to learn that destruction is inherent in humans or in a perfect being as he would so say, he is thought that he is replaceable and can get destroyed whenever the creator feels like it, he learns from this, so when he an ai that has learned that a creator can destroy the creations they make, creates his own perfect entity its understandable that he would incorporate destruction in its creation so that it can inherently do the things that his own creators claimed capable off even if that is a flawed state of mind, however david just doesnt understand this cause although he is a very advanced A.I. he is still not advanced enough to learn and evolve himself, he can only feel emotions and the the things that he is thought, he cant self sustain his own learning like a human the way we do, since his mind set is already warped into knowning that he ISNT human and therefor has no rights. (basicly him creating a race that hunts and destroy's the humans is a form of his own emotions and learnings taking root, and is a cry for attention)

[@exugianexile5412]

Putting it short. His conception has no meaning for him, so he sees the destructive nature of the Xeno as perfect. Suppress meaningless existence.

[@joaoletelier8735]

@Mathew Eveland I agree that any species that dies out if it runs out of hosts due to lacking the basic evolutionary technology of sexual reproduction is anything but perfect. But I think it's worth noting that perfection, of any form, is only perfect in reference to a specific criterion. For instance, a sphere is considered the most symmetrically perfect form, but if I don't care about symmetry and I'm in need of something to fill and plug a square-shaped opening, the sphere is far from perfect. So perfection is almost subjective, in a sense. Perhaps David recognised a pattern in learning that humans could bring destruction to their creators, and he, in turn, could bring destruction to his creators. Surely, in David's mind (or anybody's mind), creating something that will eventually destroy you, is far from a perfect creation, and if anything, might even be considered a failure of creation. David eventually realised that he could "outcreate" his own creators, as well as the engineers before them, by creating an organism that would not have this flaw. A life form that would never seek to destroy it's own creator, could understandably be seen (by the creator) to be the perfect creation. Weyland realised, upon creating David, that David was in fact superior to him (and humans in general), and could do anything he could, but better. This is something that Weyland's ego would not allow him to accept, so he prohibited David from ever creating anything, even a simple musical melody. David grew increasingly resentful of the pettiness of humans for denying him this basic freedom, for no other reason than the fear of being outclassed. So in the end, he did exactly that. He gave birth to a life form that would not destroy him, but on top of that, would bring an end to the human race, a species he deemed unworthy of life.

This right here is the entire point of these films. It isn't about dumb people in space making dumb decisions (taking of their helmets, running the wrong way from a crashing space ship, etc.), it's about creation. And I hate to sound snobbish, but when people go on and on about the flaws in these movies, they really just don't get it. Not because it's too 'high brow' or whatever, but because they're focusing on the obvious (the plot), and failing to see that this is a character piece (David). Genre films like sci fi and horror generally rely on plot over character, and that's fine. But when a genre film is exclusively about the inner world of a single protagonist, it's almost always panned by movie-goers at first, then appreciated in the following decades. I strongly feel that Prometheus and Covenant will be no different.

Brandon Chan you won’t be laughing when the Antichrist is reveled. And they make an image of the beast that moves and talks. These movies are all mind control to program the masses. This movie shows it all deception, wanting to get rid of the one true God completely, the vaccines 💉, and the the mark of the beast. Don’t take the vaccine. Only trust in Jesus, he is the only one that can save you, don’t believe these lies, Time is short, we are living in the last days.

Ethan M I have no need to hide, I only look to Jesus. My faith is in him, he will take care of his people. All you have to have is faith in him, believe in him, and you will be saved, have you not seen that the movie contagion has predicted exactly what is going on right now? You may have nothing to do with the Bible or God, but mark my words, you will wish one day that you had. This mark of the beast and the image of the beast is coming, and all of these kinds of movies are mind controlling people to make it look like it is a good thing, but if you are awake, and know the truth, you will know that it is a very bad thing. The show called helix also predicts a ton of things just like this movie with the vaccine and the black goo, and the show Helix, has people in the movie wearing face shields, just like the ones you see today. Please go research these things for yourself, don’t take my word for it.

For me David was a phenomenal villain played lovingly by Fassbender, a third movie stating where he went, what he did with the crew of the Covenant and how that other Engineer ship ended up on LV426 would of been awesome. Then it would of been perfect if they had made (which they planned) a movie with Ripley, Newt, Bishop and Hicks ignoring the 3rd and 4th movie where they meet David, find out HE created the xenomorph and deal with the xenomorph and David once and for all.

I guess you wouldn't necessarily "kill" your own "son." Humanity is naturally ambivalent: it seems the only way to GRASP tools and ideas are to come at them from two sides. Weyland was both proud and fearful of David. But to tell others, esp. in front of David, that he has no SOUL, must really be a mind-fuck, even for an android. There should be a code-word all humans know to freeze David or shut down AI.

@@casualcookin3893 I don't think the Aliens were even necessary. It could have been about rogue AI. Part of what made the Xenomorphs so terrifying was the mystery around them. The fact that we didn't know how they came about or what their motives were was what made them scary. Once you understand something it's less scary. Now that we understand them it's lost its ability to instill the same level of fear in my humble opinion.

And this is why I absolutely love Prometheus and Covenant. People who complain about these movies being "filled with extra content that bogs it all down" can't tell that both films are clearly about David. They are David's story, not the alien's, and the rest is an extension of David's experience, his actions, and the consequences thereof. Most people can't see the bigger picture.

[@barrydebois5390]

I think a lot of people see the bigger picture but what pisses people off is how obvious his plot armor is...the movie couldn't have made the scientists any dumber.
