[@kingkiller5325]

​@@devidiaHe's seeking his makers approval by killing them? This becomes even more dubious after Alien Covenant. The best explanation we have for David's motivation is that he resents the idea of bieng created. Of having "Masters". I think he also has a Superiority complex wherein he considers himself better than both the Humans and the Engineers and thus believes he can create the perfect life form. The Xenomorph Something that in his mind both Engineers and humans failed to do. (You could also say that he considers their creations to be failures because both the Engineers and Humans tried to make their Creations in their own image. Whereas David took the Xenomorphs to the full extent of evolution). Ofcourse all of this sounds good on paper but in reality had a very mediocre execution at best.

@@H3llb0und - Yes, you're right. There are several deleted scenes. All together I think they add up to approx. 20+ extra minutes of scenes that explains A LOT. Wish those scenes were kept in the final edit of the film because they do explain more on the character backgrounds and add extra information on the Engineers and other plot points.

For me, part of the horror of the original Alien was that there were so many questions: what were they? Where did they come from? But the scary part was that the universe is so vast, so old, so much more immense than humanity can ever be, that it doesn't care about our questions. We don't deserve answers because, ultimately, in the face of the black, cold, ageless cosmos, we are insignificant. And there are beings out there utterly beyond our comprehension, to which we are just food. The new batch of movies took that totally away, and made it all about *us.* Like, humans have this special place in the scheme of the universe. I really feel that completely diminished the Aliens' power.
