Alien: Covenant - 10 Big Questions It Needs To Answer

1. Why Did The Engineers Change Their Minds?

If the Engineers are the godlike creators of mankind, what the hell happened to them? Why did they decide, as the crew of Prometheus surmised in the previous film, to create biological terrors and target Earth for an attack? These are the biggest questions left dangling by Prometheus, and Alien: Covenant is bound to lay some groundwork for an answer (if Ridley Scott really is making three more Alien prequels, you probably can€™t expect full clarification here). Certainly, the sole living Engineer that met the Prometheus crew didn€™t pause for long before deciding to kill them all. This suggests that this godly race see mankind as unredeemable enemies. Why? And also, David€™s dialogue with the Engineer still hasn€™t been translated. What did the android say to the god? Hopefully, Scott will choose to address some of these queries in Alien: Covenant. There€™s a chance that he could just veer off in a new direction instead, but providing some closure on these dangling plot threads would be very welcome. Which questions do you want answered in Alien: Covenant? Let us know in the comments€
