>>6934850>The one that came out of the captain's chest after he fell for David's painfully obvious "no its safe bro I promise" ruse was a regular xenoNo it wasn't. It was a Protomorph. It's very similar but it's still an "imperfect" version that precedes the Xenomorph.
http://www.alien-covenant.com/news/alien-covenant---the-protomorph-not-xenomorph>There are so many things wrong with Covenant it's not even funny. People give Prometheus shit for having plot holes, but holy fuck, Covenant is nothing but plotholes. Ridley couldn't even bother making Covenant consistent with Prometheus, let alone the rest of the franchise. Yeah, I agree. I thought the film was thematically brilliant (allusions to Paradise Lost, contrast between David and Walter, theme of creation) but it really shit the bed when it came to simple things like connecting point A to B. If you read up on the Wiki a lot of the plot holes from the film are answerable. I've no clue why Ridley decided to leave some things out, when they were clearly written. Backstory becomes a plot hole when you don't actually put in into the fucking film. Also, I thought some of the character's decisions were really hard to empathize with, chief among them Oram and that chick that decides to separate from the group just to dress a fucking wound, despite being in a hostile planet with 7+ foot creatures. The only deaths I could really understand were Ricks' and Upworth's. They survived the entire debacle and decided to fuck the pain from losing their friends away; what could go wrong? Their cluelessness and the improbability of what happened made it brilliant. The imagery of the Proto going through the dude's mouth fucked with me. It felt sexual, albeit a twisted and fucked up type of sexual, which I understand was the concept that went into the design of the original Xenomorphs (them being phallocentric and all.)
Despite its flaws I fucking loved it. Planning on seeing it again.
I agree with the anon that called it ART.
