1. Why
do engineers create humans? I think it is a total coincidence that engineers create humans.
The plot of YY is: The engineer race accidentally discovered/created black water, but only used it as a common poison to punish certain felons, such as the engineer at the beginning of "Prometheus". The earth at that time was similar to the execution site of the engineer - jump to a random planet, put the prisoner here, give a bottle of poison, and then you can choose to commit suicide or starve to death. However, the engineer died or died, but the DNA accidentally spread to all corners of the planet along with the water source. After several years of evolution, a new species, human, was born.
2. Why did engineers eliminate human beings
As mentioned earlier, since creation is unintentional, it is reasonable to eliminate accidental products, similar to the relationship between unintended pregnancy and abortion. So why take so long? Of course, thanks to the continuous development of human spaceflight, we send signals to outer space all day long, and the engineers know of our existence, and they are ready to kill these illegitimate illegitimate children. So the last engineer in "Prometheus" saw David and first touched his head like a son, and then immediately killed his family.
However, I am more inclined to be the engineers who discovered the unexpected side effects of black water, thinking that this may be the key to evolution. It happens that there are so many ready-made experimental bodies on the earth, so they carry a lot of black water for in-depth research.
3. Why did the engineer die in the middle of the road?
There are many lunatics among scientists. Maybe someone opened a brain hole on the way and felt that his research was mature and that he could transform himself by drinking it, so he drank a cup first - of course, it was more likely to be an accidental infection - in short That is, he died before he got out of the apprenticeship.
4. How did Elizabeth die?
There is a large grain of wheat at the beginning of "Contract". Some people think that this is Elizabeth's planting, but this inference is obviously wrong - firstly, this wheat is very large, which is obviously different from the products of the earth; secondly, when Elizabeth came with seeds. So these wheats must have been planted by the engineers who lived here before, but because the engineers were wiped out by David, David himself didn't have to eat, and after a long time of desolation, only a few were left mixed with weeds. In the film, Elizabeth's body was always wearing a spacesuit, and she did not appear in the footage of the Extinction Engineer, so it can be considered that Elizabeth died on the spacecraft. The cause of death may still be a viral infection - it may be because of the black water on the spacecraft, or it may be because of the alien in the body before, but I guess it has a lot to do with David.
5. Does David love Elizabeth?
I think it is love. Although many people think that David's memorial to Elizabeth is an illusion, I think it would be too much to fake it, and just to show Walter a robot? So I always think that David has a very complicated feeling for Elizabeth - firstly, he looks down on human beings and feels that he is a higher existence than human beings; secondly, he has congenital defects compared to human beings, such as infertility; thirdly, from " According to his words to Walter in The Covenant, human beings are divided into three types in his cognition - 1. His creator; 2. Elizabeth; 3. Others. So David's feelings for Elizabeth are definitely very different from other human beings, it can be said to be love.
6. What did David do to Elizabeth's body?
Elizabeth's body in "The Covenant" was autopsied, because it has been cut open, and we have no way of knowing whether any aliens ever came out of it (not counting the one born before).
Here we first think about what was the original purpose of the Prometheus project? That's right, looking for the mystery of immortality. (Actually, I think the big boss may have made a mistake in the beginning, and it may be more reliable to directly study brain transplantation.)
What is the biggest difference between David and Elizabeth, or human beings? It's the difference between dying and not dying.
So let's think about why David dissected Elizabeth's body. It is definitely not for cultivating aliens, because all the aliens that can be cultivated in the film are living bodies, and they are not cut open. And in my limited observation time I've noticed that it seems that the back of her head has also been opened--probably. In short, Elizabeth was dissected very thoroughly, so what is the reason?
7. What is the white alien?
In the film, a white alien got into the castle and brutally killed a girl. In this process, it is not difficult for us to find that there is a difference between the white alien and the black alien killing, that is, the identity (or attitude?) of the other party will be confirmed first. When killing the girl, she waited until the girl touched the gun before moving her mouth, but when facing David, she did not speak. The two non-humans stood there facing each other. The scene was a bit ambiguous until the captain appeared. At that time, David told the captain that they were "communicating". As for the specific communication, it is unknown. Anyway, David and Bai Xingxing looked very cool, but the captain soon shot.
Please note here that if the black alien is "the mature body, and the white alien is just an abandoned breed", David didn't have to react too much here. But the fact is that when the white alien was killed, David was very, very, very angry, and then he took the captain to the place where the alien eggs were stored and killed them.
Because of the context, the audience will naturally think that this white alien is the one that ran away during the day, but it is obvious that it is familiar with the route into the castle, and it does not look unfamiliar to David, and its skin color and identification before killing It's easy for me to think of the new breed in "Alien 4" who recognizes Hopeli as a mother. So make a bold inference, maybe the white alien is not an inferior product, but a mutation direction that David developed using Elizabeth's corpse that can have a higher level of consciousness or be less aggressive? Even this white alien may have inherited part of Elizabeth's consciousness, in a way, her immortal form?
8. Summary
In summary, I think David's ultimate goal is probably to develop two forms of aliens - the black ones are weapons, and the white ones are the subjects with self-evolution ability, which are also his real research results (because According to the murals of the spaceship, the black aliens appeared long ago, not created by David), and he finally got on the ship with two young eggs, which may be these two species respectively.
