They scanned the air with sensors which correctly said the air was safe.>Durr they should have known that David would be there and be bad now and have got into making xenos and have arbitrarily changed their reproduction to use inhalable vector bugs
>>219489168They should have known of the existence of other hostile alien life forms and reconsidered their choice to explore an unknown planet.
>>219489446The scan correctly assessed that the planet had no hostile native fauna. When you go into your empty room tonight are you going to wear body armor because even though you know it's not occupied, you should have expected that somebody that you used to know might have crept in there and turned bad and set a trap for you?
>>219489698
>>219489756I would David was hiding in my room than this nigga
>>219489698I sleep with a loaded crossbow within arm’s reach
>imma put my face right in front of this extremely dangerous looking alien egg because a very suspicious android who I just saw talking to one of the aliens that killed a member of my crew told me to
is OP the same fag nitpicking prometheus in the other thread?
>>219489698It was their first steps onto completely unknown alien world, no reason at all to forgo basic safety measures just because a scan that may be faulty doesn't identify a threat. Inb4>TRUST LE HECKIN SCIENCE CHUD!!!
>>219491004Go to bed, Lindelof.
>>219491004no i'm one of the few who knows prometheus is good because i watched it a second time and it turns out all the things that 'don't make sense' do. they just say things too easily missed the first time
>>219492846Good anon. Prometheus is not bad at all. Covenant on the other hand is a total shitshow.
>>219491400In the movie alien they wear 70s tennis shoes and trucker caps as their space craft uniform but you just didn't think to get upset because the movie comes from the past so you aren't invested in saying everything from then is bad like you are about the present because you need to rationalize your inaction
>>219492939Reminds me of the people complaining about them wanting to bring the dude onto the ship. As if Alien didn't have that exact same plotline.
>>219492939Sorry, I couldn’t see their hats and shoes inside those fully protective space suits.
>>219492846Well let’s hear it, then. What are these game-changing bits of dialogue?
>>219493282Smehow in Alien, the guy who goes out in the space suit gets a facehugger stuck directly on his face. I can't remember, either he take the helmet off or it broke through it. Either way that kind of negates your claim that behaving in dreamlogic or vastly underestimating danger is new with Covenant
>>219493022In Alien, they’re in what’s essentially a bare-bones space truck where EVAs are probably only done in emergencies. In Prometheus, they’re in a ship custom-built to explore alien planets, yet the whole ship opens up onto that alien environment like a C-17, and they still don’t have a quarantine bay. It’s clinically retarded.
>>219493431>the loading bay is the only entrance to the shipYou are even dumber than the writers you are talking about.
>>219493308just gave an example in the other thread where vickers says she hired the scientists. given she wants specifically the search for eternal life for wayland to fail (that part is clear right? i mean, she rants screaming about how its her right to inherit the company and fuck you for trying to keep living past a fair time. that's not something you missed too right?) it makes sense for her to hire spasmonic jerkoffs. the movie pointedly shows them to be irresponsible jackasses, which if you don't realizes she hired them, just leaves you baffled its true. but she did so it makes sense
>>219493431do you even know this is the covenant thread? your prometheus thread is right there
>>219493410It smashes (or melts) his faceplate. https://youtube.com/watch?v=qLuB2pThUlYCovenant takes that scene up to 11, and into utter retardation.
>>219493506I can understand hiring idiots. What I can’t understand is accompanying an expedition crewed by those idiots. It also presupposes that finding the Engineers = immortality. There are also far easier ways to stop a decrepit old man from achieving immortality.
>>219493673>What I can’t understand is accompanying an expedition crewed by those idiots. >crewed by I went into this yesterday. She didn't hire a jackass crew. There's a clear split in the group between the crew and the scientists, they do not get along, because the crew are normal, top tier even. Vickers a billionairess clearly respects the pilot as a kind of equal. She did not put herself in danger as far as she is concerned by putting herself in his hands. The mission is not required to experience any danger, it only has to fail to find eternal life for Wayland, and all you need for that is that the guy whose job is to look is blind to the signs
>>219493673> There are also far easier ways to stop a decrepit old man from achieving immortality.Ah ok why don't you just pop over and kill donald trump. He's old and fat should be ez. Wayland is like trump's power times 100
>>219493673>>219493773And the fact that you even said the ship is crewed by the idiots shows you don't even remember the movie and so you don't even know what you're talking about. Like I said it's easy to miss things on the first watch which makes it seem like other things don't make sense but nobody seems to have been willing to go back and check. try it
>>219492796Nein
