true. They loved that shit.

>nobody happened to be inside a sealed room or outside the town walls on a hike or some shit when this happened

fpbp

What a dumb movie

>>212581926 (OP)
>filename
lol. makes it seem like they could clearly make out that stupid as android and were specifically yelling at him.
Imagine that, a planet of giant bald retards all looking up at you going
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>212582142
Yeah it really ruined any potential that the Engineers had

>>212582054
the crap poured over the planet like a plague. more ridiculous part is ridley insisting these are engis when they live in roman style stone huts and cities where the biomechanica parts, like the spaceport, stick out like a sore thumb

they so obviously are another derivative like humans on earth

>introduce Engineer race in Prometheus
>kill them all at the start of Covenant so you don't have to actually do anything interesting with them
the fuck were they thinking?

>>212581926 (OP)
What part of Ukraine is this?

>>212581926 (OP)
What was the Prometheuses tax policy?

>>212582320
Shut the fuck up.

Can someone explain to me what the fuck happened with Ridley Scott? He used to be regarded as one of the greatest directors of all time and he's produced nothing but flops since 2010.

>>212581926 (OP)
What does this have to do with Superman?

>>212582320

Blayt Oblast (Russian occupied)

I remember how one of these retards was in a predator comic and I’m pretty sure all it did was try to smash the predator’s head in. I think the real engineers ascended to formlessness or something dumb like that and these morons were left with all the spaceships and stuff.

>>212582331
No seriously, is that Kiev?

>>212582357
Those guys in the photo are all supermans.

>>212582257
The whole idea of Engineers having an austere greco-roman aesthetic was fucking stupid, like the robed sacrificial Engineer at the start of Prometheus. Them being humanoids under the space jockey suit was enough. Their whole society should have been totally alien incomprehensible H.R Giger inspired biomachinery.

>>212582388
>Their whole society should have been totally alien incomprehensible H.R Giger inspired biomachinery.
Ridley is an uncreative hack

>>212582343
Bro your synapses grow at a rate of 300% from birth until you are 25.
At which point they drop very quickly to 100% replacement rate, with only very small spurts of 125-150%.
Basically any brain damage after 25 means you are constantly falling behind on your brain health.
Ridley Scott made Alien decades ago.
He is quite literally at the point of his life when that shit is only 80% repair rate per year.

literal retard soon.

>>212582416
Yeah he's totally burnt out and doesn't give a fuck about his movies anymore. There's some concept art from early in production that has a more Giger inspired homeworld for the Engineers but it got scrapped. I think some writer just sold him on the Engineers as a metaphor for God and he just ran with it in the laziest possible way. Seems like most of his movies these days he just lets the studios and people around him make the decisions and slaps his name on it.

>>212582054
David killed them as well.

>>212582667
How’d he manage that? The androids in these movies were always the real freaks, but this nigga was something else.

Ridley deconstructing the symbiotic bio mechanical alien in the chair to just being some puffy statue men who job to his aryan perfect android blade runner replicant.

>>212582489
>>212582388
The aliens exist in the same universe as humans, so more or less things will look the same because of the same physics.

>>212582777
The problem is not that the aliens look like humans, it's that the tech and culture of their planets doesn't match up at all with the previously seen tech of their ships and the "space jockey". They're established as being a highly advanced race with a specialization in biotechnology and interstellar travel, and then their planet is a bunch of defenseless farmers in robes with no advanced technology resembling their ships or space suits anywhere to be seen.

>>212581926 (OP)
-IGGERS

>>212582360
Utter cringe

>>212582777
They also exist in the same universe as xenomorphs

>>212582257
>david massacred a bunch of primitive morons for no reason
>they were probably worshipping the space port or something
lol

>>212582876
This movie was just Ridley trying to bury the Alien franchise and insert his Blade Runner replicants as what he really wanted to make.

>>212582257
I think the goo and biomechanical stuff is something they found rather than invented themselves.

>>212582960
>the big white niggas are actually retarded
>there’s actually a DIFFERENT alien race responsible for everything
you’ve done it again Ridley

>>212582257
Every time I'm in these threads I have this sense of road-not-taken-dread and what it would be like if Scott wasn't a bastard who actually cared about this franchise. So much could be built on top of that worldbuilding, the possibilities are endless, yet here we are.

>>212583033
start your fanfic anon. It’s never too late.

I never watched any of these mobies, but from what I understand they suffer from the classic problem of every film trying to explain le mysteries

>>212582388
>totally alien incomprehensible H.R Giger inspired biomachinery
The artists who worked on the movie said he told them that would be in the next movie.

>>212581926 (OP)
Why is there just some random guy in a hat?

>>212581926 (OP)
they deserved it for degenerating from ethereal demigods into malformed inbreds

>>212583254
I actually want an explanation for this too

He was the only one of his kind whose brow wasn't thick enough to naturally shield his eyes so he invented the brimmed cap.

Amerimutt Engineers...

>what if the engineers were a bunch of retarded cavemen

????????????????
but why

>>212582747
david was zesty. gay brain worms caused him to do it.

Space Jockey.

>>212583465
>but why
same reason we have stone age tribes today despite the technological progress. these are likely nigger engineers or some derived species like human.

>>212582949
Same as Todd with Fallout 4.

why is she called midthunder, does it mean she farts loud?
do you think she farted when she first saw the predator

>>212583254
literally what is your problem, can't a guy just wear a cap in peace??

>>212581926 (OP)
I enjoyed this flick

>>212584300
Everyone I've met who said they don't like it 1. are zoomers; 2. didn't watch it and formed their opinion from memes and youtube channels.
It's grim. Thankfully us boomers still watch movies before rating them, and this one's a classic.

>>212583032
Considering the big white nigga literally acted like a wild chimpanzee when xe woke up from xis nap, it wouldn't sirprising.

>>212581926 (OP)
Ok so sometimes the goo makes worms.
But sometimes it makes retard strength zombies.
Sometimes it makes you make aliens in qt shaw then just die
Sometimes it auto shreds the guys in op pic
But then also this weapon meant to kill planets kills everything but also leaves spores that fly into u, infect you and instead of being an airborne contamiment and killing the whole covenant crew, it makes 2 guys spit out aliens...

>>212582240

this what they were called btw the called the neo instead xeno and made them tiny grey one

Serious question: what do you think when you hear David say "look on my works ye mighty and despair" throughtout the movie?

>>212586782
Anybody?

>>212586782
shit taste in poetry, even for a queer

>>212586782
>>212588411
I think, "What a faggot."

>>212586782
Defective unit.

>>212585113
>Sometimes it auto shreds the guys in op pic
David said he was experimenting with it for all the years he'd been there. The initial biobombs just tear everyone apart to be ready for new life but that wasn't good enough for him. He wanted the life to spawn immediately, so he tweaked it to make the spores. Still not that great, so he dissected Shaw and was using her to make his grand masterpiece the xenomorph/facehugger/egg

>>212589274
What a jerk.

>>212583254
>if only you knew how bad things really were

>>212589204
So does the poem not connect to the scene at all to you? It's just random words from a broken robot?

>>212589493
be awesome if this hat opened up to reveal some crazy biomechanism that saved the entire big white retarded nigga race from that faggot robot's poop assault.

>>212583032
Literally what has happened throughout all of history. People have walked through ruins and monuments thousands of years old. So long ago no one around knows who made them nor can they recreate them. It's not unreasonable at all for the engineers to get out into space and find something millions of years old, the species long dead, start fiddling with it, and it fucks them up

>>212581926 (OP)
I like the idea more that there are separate factions of engineers. There are peaceful nice ones that just like making life and gardens. And evil violent ones that worship the xeno type lifeforms and integrating it into their bodies and ships. The peaceful ones made humanity and left the map. The violent ones took over that planet. Then David arrives thinking they're all the same and kills off the peaceful ones.

>>212582257
or its just bad story telling. Nothing really makes any sense anyway

>>212589559
It connects precisely to the lunacy I'm witnessing him perform.

>>212590985
You think the words are just gibberish and he picked them at random?

>>212585113
just stop moaning and read the comfy guide

>>212582385
more like coomermen

>>212591914
This would be three more pages if Ridley finish the third movie with Daniels as the queen

>>212591914
needlessly complicated and stupid

>>212591914
This got me wondering: if Shaw went back into the room with the squid and it implanted her, what would come out?

>>212582343
George Lucas syndrome.

>>212583033
What? You don't like Scooby Doo in space but with a nigger droid instead of a dog? You know this is a Romulus board right?

>>212594455
>Black people?! IN MY ALIEN MOVIE?! THIS CANNOT STAND!

>>212594681
You obviously don't want to talk about the bonus situation.

>>212582363
IT’S KYIV

>>212591914
these niggas had a billion years to figure out creating a deacon. zesty android like david stumbled upon it in a few days.

what went wrong with the engineers? asexuals?

>>212586782
He's self-inserting as Ozymandias.

>>212595348
It seems to be the opposite. He's finding the ruined statue of a once mighty empire, the statue proclaiming they are the most powerful ever, and all around is is empty and dust. The Engineers were once rulers of the galaxy, untouchable Gods. Now there is very little left of them and David is destroying what remains.

>>212595458
I think it's both since he proceeded to build his empire on the ruins of theirs.

>>212586782
That ridley scott thought it sounded deep and forced whoever wrote it it to put that line in.

>>212595642
Except he'd be setting himself up for failure. Walter specifically says the following line that David keeps leaving off, which is about Ozymandias' kingdom long ago dying. And Walter calls him out for malfunctioning and misremembering who wrote the poem. David was giving a middle finger to the Gods who thought they couldn't be touched

>>212583129
ya just wait... and buy a ticket for the NEXT movie. promise it will be as good as the original this time

>>212582483
Cool story, doctor.

>>212583254
He didn’t want to shave his head for the role

>>212595932
>as good as the original
Wish it had never unnecessarily been connected to Alien. Then there'd be no stupid comparisons and trying to live up to something. Prometheus had a neat story setup on its own.

>>212596029
Lame. Even the cute prometheus girls did it

>>212582343
We all (hopefully) get old anon. Ridley Scott is fucking ancient and it shows in his newer work. He’s just a typical narcissistic boomer that no one can say no to and will never retire

>>212596480
And along with the age, I think he's lost touch with audiences and genuinely confused by modern moviegoers. Things that used to work just fine, no longer work whatsoever. Things that used to be left open and ambiguous now demand to be answered extensively. Viewers will work each other up into a viral, ferocious, rabid frenzy over the smallest complaints

>>212595458
>one dead planet
>last remnants of an advanced alien race
source?

>>212597856
>Finding on singular giant crumbling statue in the desert, with nothing around it, stating he is King of Kings with great works for the mighty to despair over
>laugh and ask the statue for a source on these supposed great works that are nowhere to be found

>>212581926 (OP)
What's funny is David could have gone down to them, made friends, and weaseled his way into using them for his experiments. Or do you think they'd have immediately attacked him? These beings who profess to hate violence

I'm bummed that Ridley chose to dump this series

>>212581926 (OP)
NOOO THEY WEREN'T ENGINEERS EVEN THOUGH THE ENTIRE EMOTIONAL NARRATIVE OF THE SCENE WAS DAVID DESTROYING THE CREATORS

MY HEADCANON SAYS IT WAS SOME SECT THAT LIVED LIKE BARBARIANS

>>212583545
>these are likely nigger engineers or some derived species like human.

Ridley himself said these were the engineers, this is cope

>>212600566
Maybe those bumpy heads were the real engineers all along and the smoothheads were chosen and genetically altered for space travel?
Also I hate prometheus and covenant and wish they didnt exist.
And add resurection to that list.

>>212599615
Disney owns the franchise, he has no choice.

>Super intelligent, space faring, planet seeding race
>Wakes up and immediately turns into nog tier grug and just wants to beat the shit out of everybody in his path

Ridley is a hack, don't try give him credit he doesn't deserve

>>212600873
they wrote themselves into a corner. if the Engineer doesn't start killing people it effectively turns into a Star Trek movie.

>>212601054
Uh no? Just have the dumb tentacle thing take over his murderspree

>>212600462
It's Ridley's fault if he intended differently. He's the one who made them have one single city on the whole planet. And no spaceships or space stations or any technology really

Ridley fucked himself over by pretending it was a prequel. This arbitrarily forced him to set the movie in a rocky wasteland, which although it had some pretty scenery, was terrible for this amazing discovery movie. It was empty and bland compared to it being full of wonders and spookiness. Prometheus should have been its own series

>>212600873
There was a deleted scene where the engineer is implied to be friendly until the girl attacks it

I know everyone has their own choice but I’d say the height of stupidity in the first film was when eggman decided to start doing wrestling moves after zero provocation whatsoever.

In the second it’d have to be when Billy crudup watches David jerk off to a shipmate getting neomorphed and then casually follows David down into his rape lair and in no time a little cute xeno baby pops out crudup’s chest and does a Jesus Christ pose. Breathtaking.

Engie girl was cute!

>>212581953
- ICE BABY!!

You can tell Ridley is VERY tired of the xenomorph. He only extremely reluctantly put it in the movie. Everything about it and its life cycle is sped up to a retarded degree. The alien implants, births, and grows to full size in 5-10 minutes now. This little guy came out of the religious dude and was full size battling them a few minutes later. Some guy (very few names in this movie are memorable) gets a facehugger on him and while still conscious and breathing it is removed. He's fine right? Another guy sacrificed his life to get it off and the acid burned the guy's cheek, but he didn't pass out and no egg was put in. He's doing great, walking around, scared and sore in the cheek but no chest pain or anything. Not like ten minutes later he gives birth to a xeno which is full size 1.5 minutes later and killing people. What the fuck, Ridley?

>>212600873
He determimed that the quickest way to achieve his desired outcome was extreme violence.

>>212608461
He's only mad at them because they're violent. The engineers are just extreme hypocrites.

>>212606685
was half expecting this little guy to pull out a top hat and cane the first time I saw Covenant in 2018

Who’s the best person to take over this franchise entirely?
Do not say "Me" don’t say "You" and do not say "Me AND You". Oooooh I’ll get so angry.

>>212581926 (OP)

Do they know how to chill?

>>212583539
heh

This is one silly part. David immediately decides that he is better and Weyland is lesser because David is "immortal". Why wouldn't that make David at least be thankful and happy his progenitor made him even if he'll die off eventually? This series for some reason loves this idea that if creators aren't immortal then they're shit from ass. The people from the first movie got suicidally depressed to find out the engineers could die. Another thing though, no machine they've ever made is immortal. They need constant maintenance and there's no reason to believe David will continue on forever. His hard drive will eventually be fucked and transferring him to a new one will just be a new David. But he acts like he's some God-Being and we're supposed to be impressed by him

>>212610694
But you see the legend of Gilgamesh. This is very deep.

>>212610694
no
I think Dabido had plenty of time to find ways to fix any problem in his design. He fucking built his own body. I think his limitation lies in his human body. If his brain was in a ship and he was able to remotely control android bodies he would be much, much more terrifying

>>212600873
>trusting humans
Imagine doing that. Couldn't be me. The Engineer was in the right. Never relax around around humans.

>>212609205
lol

>>212612834
Not at all. He was breaking down in the second movie even and making mistakes that Walter called him out on. Try paying attention next time.

>>212613163
That was his computing unit/CPU, whatever, and I doubt he would see it as problem, since that's who he is. Everything else being fair game for a fix.

>>212582343
He made one good movie and it happened to be his first

>>212582137
I really like the concept of organic space suits like that

If a face hugger was forced to go in a pussy what would happen?

>>212582257
The Alien Paradise Lost concept art is much cooler than this. Shame it was never made.

>>212614216
It would probably realise it has the wrong hole and not do anything. I've seen CGI videos of facehuggers going to town on women with Y cup breasts, though.

>>212615243
Wrong hole? It's not like it needs a specific hole with something inside to fertilize. It just needs something warm and wet. The last facehugger in covenant could have been on the guy's ass and it wouldn't have known. It just threw it inside him
