So, here are 10 Questions TheAlien: CovenantSequel Needs To Answer.
Why did David bother saving the Covenant crew, just to then kill them?
Did the crew of the Covenant miss the perfect planet?
A sequel could answer this mystery.
Why did David send the Country Roads clip in the first place?
Why wouldnt David send a clearer message or a standard distress call?
How has David been tampering with xenomorph DNA?
David explains inAlien: Covenantthat hes been tampering with the xenomorphs DNA.
But from what we know about the xenomorphs, this isnt possible.
Their use of eggs and chestbursters suggests that they need hosts to survive and reproduce.
The new sequel needs to explain how all of this went down.
Why did David kill the Engineers?
David seemed to have accepted Elizabeths desire tomeet the Engineers and see what their plans for humanity were.
However, inCovenant, we see David flying over the Engineers homeworld and massacring them by unleashing black goo.
This was the same deadly black goo that the Engineers appeared to be planning to release to humans.
So, Davids plans seemed to change at the drop of a hat.
First, he wanted to confront the Engineers.
Next, hes slaughtering them with their own gooey weapon.
There are a few pieces missing from this puzzle that the newAliensequel should answer.
What happened to Elizabeth Shaw?
WhileCovenantcatches up with David following the events ofPrometheus, hes alone.
Elizabeth Shaw is nowhere to be seen.
Hopefully, it wont just ask even more questions and leave us high and dry yet again.
How did David manage to overpower Walter?
So, how did David overpower Walter?
Who put David back together?
The last time we saw David beforeCovenant, he was being ripped apart by an Engineer.
And yet, inCovenant, we see him fully functioning with all his parts in the right places.
So, the burning question remains: who put David back together?
The easiest answer is that Elizabeth Shaw foolishly pieced the evil android back together.
Did Shaw ever make it to Paradise?
Paradise Lostwas the initial title ofAlien: Covenantbefore it was changed.
But it also ties into the idea of Paradise in theAlienuniverse.
Because if it is Paradise, Paradise cannot be what you think it is.
Paradise has a connotation of being extremely sinister and ominous.
Did Shaw ever make it to Paradise?
What is Davids ultimate goal?
At the end ofAlien: Covenant, were treated to a harrowing plot twist.
But thats just speculation.
His actual plan isnt really clear.
The next movie will need to explain that.
