Alien: Covenant - Possible Answers To Its 10 Biggest Questions
1. Does David Incorporate Himself Into The Xenomorph?
Take a close look at the Xenomorph design in Covenant and compare it to its counterparts in the Alien movies.
There are subtle differences, notably the absence of biomechanical elements in the latest prequel.
Covenant’s version of the acid-blooded monstrosity is an all-organic offering; so why the discrepancy?
Possible Answer: The folks over at IGN speculate that David’s work perfecting his creation is far from over, and somewhere between Covenant and Alien he manages to incorporate synthetic elements into his diabolical life’s labours.
We can still only guess at what David’s ultimate fate will be, but it seems in keeping with the character to sacrifice himself to achieve his ultimate goal and a form of immortality in the process.
