The Engineers were supposedly the ones who designed humanity in their genetic code, but saw their violent nature, so they left to create a weapon to destroy all of them: the Xenomorphs.
They made these weapons as the perfect killing machine, however, they needed to do it on an isolated planet in fear of contamination.
Now humanity by the time Prometheus takes place made another creation in its form, the Androids by Weyland Industries, which helped translate engineer language.
Weyland wanted to have eternal life, but the Engineer, knowing of humanity's nature, as well as seeing how Shaw was treated so harshly, decided against helping them.
So he ripped off David's head, and killed Weyland with it, intending to go to Earth to finish off the job.
But David managed to go to Paradise, the home world of the engineers, and poured out the black destructive sludge on all them, killing all life on the planet.
Alien: Covenant follows the distress call to that planet with more people with another android, and meets the Xenomorph.
Other Engineer colonies were also established in the past on other alien moons, far away because Xenomorphs were thought to have capabilites of travel from one world to another, thought to take over the whole galaxy.
>create species that becomes violent >disappoint >create even more violent species to destroy them and likely all other lifeforms in the universe
The engineers were stupid fuckin spergs.
Tkakha
Engineers live really long lives but lost the ability to reproduce. Somewhere in space they found the original Deacon alien who's blood (gold-ish goo) allowed them to seed new life. Since they couldn't reproduce naturally they made humans in their image as an attempt to recreate themselves.
Earth was one of their last attempts as they were running out of Deacon blood. They attempted to make a synthetic version (black goo), but rather than creating life it destroyed life. They did however find this to be a useful tool for wiping out life on planets where their experiments had failed.
Humans turned out to be barbarous and cruel, so Engineers took a human child to their planet and raised him. They sent him back to Earth to teach the rest of humanity to live in peace, but humans crucified him instead. Enraged by this, they decided humans are irredeemable and chose to destroy them via the black goo.
The ship tasked with delivering the black goo to Earth was the one found on the planet in Prometheus. Just before it left for Earth an outbreak occurred and the crew was killed, save one who was left in the hypersleep chamber.
The engineer in the hypersleep chamber is awoken to find a human, who he reviled and was tasked to destroy, begging him for eternal life. Even more, the human had made his own synthetic intelligence, which the Engineers view as an abomination.
There is a deleted scene in Prometheus where the last engineer enters the human ship and finds a room with a chandelier and videos of a young girl playing violin on a flickering screen. For a moment he is mesmerized and appears to appreciate the beauty of human creations, perhaps considering the possibility that humans may be salvageable after all. Then Shaw swings a fucking space axe at him and releases the trilobite on him.
This is fucking retarded and makes no sense, the stupidity of this film becomes even more compounded as the human characters kept doing stupider and stupider shit to get into this bizarre situation in the first place. How was this movie even made without someone saying something? How is is not considered one of the worst 10 films ever made?
That's a basic summary of the original script. A lot was changed by the final draft so technically none of that shit is canon. BUT it's the only way we have to make sense of what happens in the final movie, because the movie itself just leaves shit unexplained.
They could still come along with a sequel or whatever and explain things without it being a retcon, although that's not likely to happen because the more you try to explain things the more you write yourself into a corner full of plotholes.
Synthetics are just that- synthetic. They only look human, and Xenomorphs recognize them as the non living machines they are. They are advanced robots, but they are not cyborgs. Neither are they self-aware.
Synthetic what... oh, living material that's right. Xenomorphs don't generally try and infest them because the physiology is incompatible not because they aren't alive. You can see in every instance they are destroyed or damaged that their internals are primarily biological. The living android white milk thing is also carried over into Raised by Wolves, and while that's a separate show it has a lot of the same themes and same underlying principles for the androids.
Xenos do not attack androids unless an android attacks them first or is obstructing the xeno. It's supposed to be because xenos don't perceive androids as living creatures. This is used as foreshadowing for a character being an android in Alien 4. She falls into a bunch of xenos and then turns up unscathed later.
Also androids have artificial brains, that can be connected to computers. They recharge by plugging into sockets.
Why send weak ass humans to capture Xenos when you could send an entire platoon of Davids who never sleep/feel fear/hurt/think twice? I mean, the Xenos can't mouth rape an android, right?
they were supposed to be happy, friendly creators of humanity, who had left instructions to find them and would be super thrilled to finally meet the humans plus give them eternal life

It's like Fred Durst says in that Limp Bizkit song, Break Stuff >It's just one of those days when you don't wanna wake up >Everything is fucked, everybody sucks >You don't really know why, but you wanna justify >Rippin' someone's head off
That's Prometheus? Well that makes sense kind of. Whole movie is a weird Annunaki type story. Ridley had similar metaphor in Blade Runner with fallen angels and creation of man. I dont know if he's in some secret society or just read lots of Sitchin.
Some different theories floating around: >Engineers are all about the cycle of life. They even kill themselves to create new life on barren worlds. Immortality is disgusting to them >The Engineer has a xenomorph in his stomach and he is pissed that he was awoken by retarded monkeys and not a proper Engineer medical team >Jesus was an Engineer and humanity killed him so the Engineers got pissed and decided to wipe us out with Xenomorphs
The first one is the least retarded one, but they are all pretty stupid. Not gonna lie.
He's taking the fire away this time.
The engineer shat himself when he woke up, so he attacked them to keep them from realizing that he shit himself.

Thats when the original Alien movie follows.

why didn't they explain any of this in any of the movies tho
Ridley doesnt like to explain himself which is sometimes based and sometimes wack.

>but mah plot
Plot fags are such mitwits
David was not alive to begin with. He’s Windows 20 in the shape of a dude.
Androids in Alien are alive. They are more accurately cyborgs because they are robots made of living tissue like blade runner replicants.
That’s false, zoomie.
Synthetics are just that- synthetic. They only look human, and Xenomorphs recognize them as the non living machines they are. They are advanced robots, but they are not cyborgs. Neither are they self-aware.
Learn the lore before you pipe up.
Synthetic what... oh, living material that's right. Xenomorphs don't generally try and infest them because the physiology is incompatible not because they aren't alive. You can see in every instance they are destroyed or damaged that their internals are primarily biological.

I can't believe I lived to see the day an aliens prequel did more damage to the franchise lore than the avp movies

Yes. His name was Prometheus.

So why is Alien wearing such inconvenient underwear?
It can be confusing but that's not the Alien.
It's one of the few movies I own on blu-ray that has a 3d version to watch like a sperg in my 3d tv
Why did you make this stupid fucking thread yet again.
