David

At the beginning, David meets his creator, his god, Mr. Welland for the first time.

David is the first robot, and Mr. Welland treats him as his own son, and imposes any restrictions on his functions. Wisdom, emotion, selfishness, and means, he was created to serve Welland. In his view, human beings are fragile, ignorant, limited, arrogant beings, perhaps not worth mentioning at all. Eternal service is temporary, omniscient service is stupid.

Look what he did, induce Shaw's husband Charlie to devote himself to science, (guess) provoke the engineer to destroy the dialogue between man and the creator, fall in love with and kill Shaw, exterminate all life on the engineer's planet, and destroy all life on the planet of the covenant. The crew sacrificed to the aliens as prey. He did all the treason against them that mankind did not want him to do. Slave in heaven or king in hell? David is to be king. David's rebellion may have been brought about by endless time. Human life is so short, fall in love with them, and then lose, leaving yourself an endless wait. Perhaps abandoning them completely is the best option. Perhaps the real killer of David is his contempt for humans and the engineers who created them, but I believe time must also be a factor. David isn't really a robot. His follow-up products are Walter, who can't create; Ash, who only obeys the company; Bishop, who can't hurt humans; Kaur, who protects the planet. They are subject to their own functional settings and cannot make other choices. David can, he's just a mechanically immortal person who has to face surrender, loss, loneliness, and so on. Mr. Welland's quest for a lifetime of eternity David has done. He is the ultimate goal of mankind. In the Lord of the Rings, the greatest gift that God bestows on human beings is the immortal and immortal death that is different from the elves. Death can fill human beings with hope and fighting spirit, not just remembrance. Eternal life may be the real ordeal. All that David did was destruction and regeneration, and perhaps his real purpose was to experience death.

Haha, who knows, it's all speculation. How many years to wait for the next one
