That was addressed. He wasn't 'sitting'. He was fossilized, tens of thousands of years old, not in a suit, and merged with the chair with no lower body. It was obviously never connected to humanity in any way and certainly didn't create them.

A part of me wishes they kept the space jockey a truly alien mystery
Another part of me still appreciates the ideas that went into Prometheus
I just consider it an alternate reality. People were asking 'what-if' the space jockey was a guy in a suit a long time before prometheus, so it was neat to see it explored. But it shouldn't take over the full continuity forever after especially how they botched it.
Covenant wanted to up the power level on everything xeno but still pretend like it was inferior to every Alien movie. Little, airborne, invisible bacteria that can impregnate you, a backburster that can immediately break out of a sealed room and kill grown adults, etc. All so much more deadly than facehuggers that have to stay attached for over a day while it's vulnerable, then an implanted creature matures inside and also vulnerable, then a chestburster has to run and hide for another day or two while it grows.
No. The entire fricking point of Resurrection was that Xenos can't be fricking domesticated because all they're going to do is spend every waking second thinking of how to escape and kill you.

I don’t believe it. It was clearly trying to playfully mimic David. Either it sensed it wasn’t a true human (but do define ‘true human’ for me), or it was legitimately acting curious/friendly. The chestburster also mimicked David’s t-pose. They clearly have some sort of imprinting thing going on when they hatch/erupt.
They can probably sense that he is not a biological lifeform, and he also showed absolutely no fear. The next film should feature David as the protagonist, I'd like to see what he did on that planet with the 2000 colonists. Another interesting concept would be engineer retaliation to hunt him down, I don't believe that planet that got gooed to be the engineer homeworld, there were apparently no other ships and only one primitve city for a supreme space-faring race of unfathomable age... I believe it is more likely they were a similar case of panspermia and viewed the engineers as their gods.
>The entire fricking point of Resurrection
I don't think Xenos should be domesticated but I also don't think anything about Resurrection should be considered canon.
I'm not a huge alien fan, but is it fair to say that the pain and disappointment you have felt with the sequels and prequels are similar to how Tolkien enthusiasts felt about the hobbit movies and the rings of power?
Yeah I didn't watch it, but I heard it was absolutely terrible. I loathed the hobbit movies for a myriad of reasons. The alien films that I've seen didn't come close to being so offensive. I remember seeing the first avp film and thinking it was really dumb, the only thing I remember from it's sequel was that was really fricking dark. The scientists who were locked in the room with the hammerpede in Prometheus acted like morons, but even that didn't come close to the stupidity of the tom&jerry chase sequence in the desolation of smaug.

The geologist was legitimately high out of his fricking mind, both of them basically had an existential crisis when the saw the body of the engineer and realized that their worldview, as one of them put it of 300 years of Darwinism was entirely false, they wanted to leave immediately for the ship.
Yes, I'd say so. Imagine if during the beginning of Return of the King you found out that Sam and most of the fellowship had died horribly off screen through some contrived plot of Sauron's that was blatantly impossible. Then Frodo spends the rest of the story getting shit on, beat up, raped by humans and orcs, before ultimately deciding the only way to defeat Sauron is to toss himself into the volcano with the One ring. Then a few centuries later, someone uses some magic to resurrect Frodo with the ring. But now he's a jaded, quipping, ugly c**t that doesn't give a shit about destroying the ring. And they just make up a bunch of other crap as they go along.
pretty much the only good part of the movie unfortunately.
Will they show backbursters or chestbursters in new zoomzoom movie
There will be bussybursters instead
Cheekbusters and Wigsplitters
Hopefully no prometheus crap and stick to chestbursters and only true Alien canon. But they're making a movie and a tv series so who knows
promethus crap was there in original just never addressed, the guy sitting in the big penis chair
That was addressed. He wasn't 'sitting'. He was fossilized, tens of thousands of years old, not in a suit, and merged with the chair with no lower body. It was obviously never connected to humanity in any way and certainly didn't create them.
It was sitting and fossilized ypu fricking idiot. You zoomers are so fricking moronic, I swear.
>It was obviously never connected to humanity in any way and certainly didn't create them.
were you there?
It was never stated and is too moronic to infer.
I STILL CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THIS WAS A SPECIES OF HYPER INTELLIGENT ELEPHANT
is elephant okay

But the human died
Considering the ‘morphs reaction to David, before le butthole shot it, is it safe to conclude that ‘morphs can be trained?
And yes by ‘morph I mean the Xenomorph and all its variant strains.
No. The entire fricking point of Resurrection was that Xenos can't be fricking domesticated because all they're going to do is spend every waking second thinking of how to escape and kill you.
Neat ideas, shit execution.

I mean, how canon are the comics?
That's an android made in the form of a xeno
I know, i just always found it hilarious
But im pretty sure they always toyed with the idea of xenos being able to be tamed and used, or st least "mind-controlled" like in this
A good chunk of the 90s Dark Horse comics were about a mad scientist studying the Xenos.
Is that a black male and white female?!
WTF ESG shit is this?!!

No, rings of power is actual sabotage, made to be bad on purpose, no poor execution.
Quite expensive sabotage I'd say. What kind of moron spends that much only to ruin something ? Looks more like sheer incompetence and hubris I'd say.

It's the best movie in the franchise.
Training them is one thing, putting brain implants and controlling them by remote is another, like Blomkamp imagined.
