New Update: Kingu has joined Team Ghidorah!

As a huge dinosaur fan, and particularly of the velociraptor, I really loved this scene in the film, and the animation is superbly well done! Thanks to Jurassic Park for giving me a passion for these magnificent scaly creatures!

These Kong: Skull Island toy images are absolutely fantastic! It's incredible to see the new monsters from the film brought to life in such detail. Lanard has done an impressive job with their lineup, and I can't wait to get my hands on these toys. From the menacing Skullcrawlers to the majestic King Kong, each figure captures the essence of the film's thrilling creatures. As a passionate fan of monster movies, I'm always on the lookout for collectibles that truly embody the spirit of the franchise. If you're as excited as I am about Kong: Skull Island, I highly recommend checking out the Godzilla 2014 toys available at Larger Than Life Toyshttps://largerthanlifetoys.com/products/godzilla-2014-figure-6-inch-action-figure-12-inch-head-to-tail-modern-godzilla.

Prepare to embark on a thrilling adventure with Kong: Skull Island and let your imagination run wild with these incredible toys!

Some of the plotlines to the ALIEN RPG dabbled on the Black Goo side of the franchise.

I know I'm not very good at writing entire paragraphs to explain my thoughts so I tend to write single sentences most of the time.

Indeed... what i was saying was i HOPE they dont try and make any Loose connections to Ripley though.... but i Suspect they will.... but it would be something like the Discovery of her Logs from the Nostromo. Which if its just that then  guess its FINE if it gives reason for the PLOT.

It depends how Imaginative they are..... to me i think we will see this SET on a SHIP where the Humans in Question will arrive and DOCK with a Weyland Ship thats in Space that has Eggs.... i am not sure we will arrive at any Planets. And so we basically could have a Plot like ALIEN/ALIEN ISOLATION.... but where the Eggs are Obtained (well Crew Face Hugged) after Exploring a Abandoned WY Ship in Space.

However then YES we cant RULE OUT either.... a) The Company had been to LV-426 prior to ALIEN and b) They Returned between ALIEN and ALIENS.

FINALLY

7. It seems there is terraforming engine or something inside this buildings, making me think that planet was thriving with life at some point in the past.

Indeed the Complex was Terra-Formed.... while OUTSIDE was Deadly to Humans.... however the Engineers can Survive on the Surface with NO MASK.

Which Begs the Question to WHY is the Complex Terra-formed so Humans can Breath?

Our LV-223 Engineers do-not need their Suits... the Suits likely are like a Bio-Hazard Suit... to Protect from the GOO... (but they still got Infected, i can give a Theory after). They maybe also NEED them for Space Flight.

The Atmosphere on Planet 4 can be Breathed by Humans and those Engineers on Planet 4 lack the like GILLS that the Necks of the LV-223 Engineers under Suits have.

I believe that if we look at the Star Map as NOT a Invitation but showing US that this is WHERE we came from.... thus making LV-223 a Outpost for Experiments and Evolution of Creations where when the Engineers are pleased with the Results they SEND/SEED them in the GARDEN (Worlds) so then LV-223 is a Nursery/Green House.

So the Engineers take their Creations back to LV-223 to then Evolve/Tweak us and then take us back etc.... should any of these Creations (Humanoids) Escape the Outpost they would DIE outside before they can get anywhere.

At some point the Engineers or a Faction had decided they wanted to ERADICATE their Creations and so LV-223 was turned into a Place to Engineer/Create something ELSE.... and these Experiments had lead to their Downfall (the Outbreak).

The NO WEAPONS... Question... if your a Ancient and Advanced Race who Visit and Control every Aspect of your Creations, and keep them to a Primitive Level Certainly like say Mankind like in Ancient Times, then maybe they DONT need Weapons to Deal with us.

When they was Experimenting with the Horrors connected to Xeno, Neomorph etc they would have NEEDED SOME... but seems in HUBRIS they did not.

This does-not mean they do-not have Weapons... the Earlier Drafts that had some kind of Weapon/Power like the FORCE in Star Wars where they could THROW like Invisible Waves of Energy at the Humans.  The Comics gave the Engineers a Energy Weapon/Blaster.... but when dealing with a Ancient and Advanced Race then their Technology/Weapons could be BEYOND what we could Comprehend of be Familiar with......

4. 3 of sleeping engineers had something bursted from their chests - pods are with holes in them.

5. Bodies of engineers seem odd

Ok well Originally some Engineers had given Birth to some Beasts and others Killed by such Beasts....

The Engineer Suits in Prometheus some show they are HOLLOW!

This could be as working on Props then Hollow is Lighter than a Filled Full suit etc.... However if we look at Prometheus... the Engineer Consumed the Goo and his Body basically Disintegrated in a Violent and Volatile Chemical Reaction.........

Ridley Scott had said that eventually Fifield and Holloway would have the same Fate (would have become nothing)...If we assume the Engineers suits are Pressured so they ACT like a Pressured Container.... then assume the Reaction with the GO is so Violent like the Reaction of a Mentho in a Bottle of Cola... they this Volatile Reaction would try to Escape.... this COULD explain the Holes as though the Dissolved Engineers Goo had Exploded from the Suits..

This Explains why the Beheaded Engineers Body/Suit was HOLLOW.... (No Bones).

The Head was Preserved however..............it had NOT like Dissolved, and so IF this is the CASE and lets Assume that Room somehow made the GOO inactive or would STOP it.... this would Explain why the Head is intact and the Body Suit was Hollow.

It would also give a Good Reason for the Engineers to RUN to that ROOM and SHUT the Door Behind them.... the Door Shuts before some could make it. And this could HELP to Explain as to WHY the URNS had ONLY started to Leak once that Door was OPEN and somehow the ROOM Environment was Compromised.

This should Answer most of your Points... again SOME is just Speculation by me based on Various Clues and Comments by those working on the Movie.

3. There is green crystal on the stand, which probably was activated for... Something?

Again another Mystery with NO Explanation... but there was a Reason...

Originally it was the BOWL from the Opening Scene.

Now we see IF this is the SAME CUP.... then its Smaller to the Engineer which roughly by SCALE would mean our Engineer would be 13-14 Foot Tall. The Earlier Drafts and Concept had them at 15ft Tall... revised down to 12ft and then with Prometheus Drafts to 10ft but our Engineers in Prometheus were about 8ft Tall Suited and just under 7.5ft without the Space Jockey suits.

So what likely happened was they SAW this Scale Difference as a Issue and Conflict and so CGI Replaced it with the CRYSTAL.  If they had KEPT the Cup/Bowl then what i said before about WHAT seems to have been going on would make Sense...

Something to Consider... some see the Mural as Xeno and as Engineers God/Worship as its like Christ on the Cross...

Christ is depicted like this to SHOW US that he SACRIFICED HIMSELF for the Greater Good or Mankind/Immortality (Life after Death).  It is my OPINION and Conclusion that the Engineers had Engineered and Created the Mural Organism and saw it as Perfect...

They had then Sacrificed this Creation to Create the STUFF in the URNS for some Great Benefit.... but the Results was NOT as Expected... but when Humanity became a Problem the Result could be USED to DESTROY US... maybe they thought it could SAVE/EVOLVE them...

This Theory does FIT with the Original Idea... the Master Narrative where our Engineers were once like us, they had Engineered and Evolved themselves to LIVE for a LONG TIME.. but they wanted more they wanted IMMORTALITY... and believed they was on the Verge of this..... but they NEVER Achieved it.

The Closest we see to Immortality in the Franchise is via the Xeno-DNA with Ripley 8, she can Regenerate, but she has some of the Memories of Ripley... so the DNA had Transcended some of Ripley  Memories and Soul into Ripley 8

A kind of Re-Incarnation if you would.... this would GIVE a Great Reason for the Engineers Experiments with related Ancestor Organisms.

I can give some Insight to these ;) but do not take what i say as Gospel, the Movie is still pretty Ambiguous and those working on the Project who make the Decisions (Producers, Director, Writers and Powers that be (FOX) etc) as they Pretty much just Change things as they go along... sometimes without Consideration of how it could Conflict stuff.

I will answer each Element as you wrote them.... i will USE like This for when i am referring to comments by those working on the Movie etc.  And normal for my TWO Cents...

1. Buildings with head on them.

These had gone through some Changes... but they were merely to be  Individual Research Facilities. The Engineers like to Show-Off what they Create like say the Ancient Egyptians. The END-PRODUCT like the Elongated Skull at the TOP was more for Dramatic Effect.... Originally ideas were just Engineer Head on them like the BIG HEAD we see in the Ampoule/Urn Room.

The Big Head is just a Monument to the Engineers...... it could be Speculated that it depicts a Specific Engineer of some Importance but could also be just to showcase the Engineers in General.  The Urns are Placed around the Engineer Head to maybe indicate their Achievement.... these URNS do Contain the Pathogen with the Effects we see in Prometheus.  The Basic Intention is these Urns have the Ability to Mutate/Evolve any Organism or Cell they come into Contact with.

2. Murals depict:

a. Engineer with hand that comforts some kind of alien creature.

There has NOT been given much of a Explanation for this.... what little is given is the Engineers like to SHOW OFF what they have Created... with Monuments and Murals and so they are of some Importance... but its NEVER explained. This kind of Birdy Creature as some call it, seems to be in a Fetal Pose, which implies its either (1) Submissive to the Engineer or (2) is New Born.

Its pose is similar to this from the Art Book/Concept.

The ENGINEER has a SCAR like a C-SECTION... like Dr Shaw.. (but this is open to Debate).

However when we look at the MYTHOS of Prometheus... and we look at some of the Murals of the Punishment of Prometheus, which include the ONE above which seems to be Similar to the Mural in Prometheus... just the Birdlike Xeno is Replaced with a Eagle.... i have Speculated that maybe these are Connected?

But nothing has ever been said about the Mural apart from THEY showcase the Engineers Creation while some are Easter Eggs... looking at the Mural in Question and the Prometheus Mythos and Mural ive shown, i can only ASSUME that maybe we could Speculate that a Engineer was Chosen to be a Sacrifice to Create something?  If we look at Dr Shaw and her C-Section could we Speculate that the Engineers could do a C-Section of a Organism before it has CHEST BURSTED!  Maybe... could a Engineer be Chosen for this ROLE.. and its Repeated over and Over... like the Punishment of Prometheus?  Was this a Punishment? we can only SPECULATE.

b. Xenomorph like hands holding opened egg

Again as far as i am aware this has NOT been Explained other than those working on the Murals had said they made Numerous Murals as a NOD to HR Giger and Easter Eggs.... The Egg is ONLY on screen for a Short Time and most would MISS it. If it is merely a Easter Egg then it can THROW US OFF... but this is NOT the only Wild Goose Chase... the Alien Covenant Poster had NOTHING to do with what we saw in the Movie.

Some USE this Mural as Proof the Xenomorph is Ancient however...  the Hands are more like that of the Beaked like Creature with the Engineer as shown prior. And so this does-not mean its the Xenomorph it could be that other Creature. (RS had said that the Xenomorph had NOT Existed at the Point prior to the Outbreak on LV-223).

c. Xenomorph/Deacon like creature on main mural.

Again this is NOT much Explained... only that it could be a Easter Egg, but someone who worked on the Mural had said that it DEPICTS the Deacon.

Something to Consider is it does-not look like a Xenomorph not Quite... it also does-not look like the Deacon at the End.... HOWEVER... Earlier Concept of the Deacon and also the Beasts from Earlier Drafts all look the Same as the Mural Organism which is more similar to the Neomorph.

d. Images of facehugger impregnating the Engineers.

These again are based on HR Gigers Early Face Hugger Concepts...

Again this lends to how it was merely a Easter Egg of sorts....

However if we take into Account the Earlier Drafts of Prometheus (Alien:Genesis and Alien: Engineers) then here is what the LOW DOWN is... the Engineers have a Creation Tool (Goo in Prometheus, Scarabs in early Drafts)... This TOOL can Consume the DNA of a Organism and then STORE this DNA, this Substance then can PASS that DNA onto other Life to create a Hybrid.

i) Engineer in Prometheus Consumes Goo, breaks down and his DNA is then Spred to Evolve Life on Earth.  In early drafts its Tiny Scarabs and then ONE goes and Bites a Primitive Female and Evolves her with Engineer DNA.

ii) Fifield in Prometheus comes into Contact with Goo and Mutates into a Toxic Avenger but other Concepts he becomes a Hybrid.  In  the Earlier Drafts he is BITEN by a Scarab from a URN and likewise becomes a HYBRID.

The Early Drafts... seem to indicate the Engineers had likely Discovered a Parasitic Organism, and they had attempted with the Creation Tool to Cross Hybrid many Experiments (like David was on Planet 4) and had Created a Number of Various Xenomorph/Neomorph/Deacon like Creatures.

Taking this into Account the Murals likely Depict the Engineers Efforts to use their Creation Tool to Create Hybrid Monsters until they Achieved their GOAL.. a Organism like the Mural (Neomorph/Deacon) and they then Sacrifice this to Collect its DNA with the Creation Tool to USE to EVOLVE LIFE... but a Outbreak put a STOP to their Plans.

No, Ash was made by Hyperdyne. Bishop I think was a Weyland-Yutani model

I suppose when your looking at a Advanced Species such as the Engineers then anything is maybe Possible....

Ridley Scott had referred to the Derelict as a Bomber like many Years ago, i think its a BIT SILLY considering the PAYLOAD....(Depends on the Height you Drop them).

However............. the Eggs especially when we look at ALIEN and Alien Covenant we see the Face Hugger is Surrounded by a Thick Membrane... maybe this could Shield the Face Hugger? I assume as LONG as the Face Hugger inside can Survive the DROP then using them in this way could work. Again it would depend on the Height.  We have to remember the Origins of the Xenomorph Story there was NO EGG CHAMBER on the Ship.... (Early Drafts) with the Abandonment of the Pyramid/Egg Silo and re-use the Pilot Chamber Set for the Egg Chamber that was BELOW the Pilot Chamber had led us to the Derelict becoming a Bomber but just as much could be a Cargo Hold.

However... again Ridley Scott offers us a Work-Around.... he said in Regards to the Dead Xenomorph in Alien Covenant, that they could REGENERATE... to me that sounds a BIT SILLY.... but i guess a NUKE or Similar can Prevent that (Hadleys Hope Destruction).... HOWEVER.............. if we consider the Xenomorph as a Virus/Pathogen of sorts....

And lets say that WHEN they DIE... regardless of IF due to Life-Span or they are KILLED.. if there Body just Dissolves into a Goo/Mush and then FROM this the DNA/Pathogen begins to Morph this Left Over Mush into a EGG or a Number of Eggs (example they Grow from the left over Material).

Then INDEED dropping the Eggs is NOT a Problem, if those that turn to MUSH will just begin to GROW more Eggs from the left over Material... But going this ROUTE does beg the Question as to WHY could they NOT use the Royal Face Hugger from Alien 3 (depends which Version of the Movie) but then Regardless even if the Xenomorph cant Regenerate/Grow into Eggs like this... the Face Hugger from ALIEN 3 is still a Problem as WHY you need Ripley DNA then?

But i dont want to try and see this Change the TOPIC from the OT and Poster who was looking to Explore as to WHAT could happen after Alien Covenant.

Bishop was made by hyperdyne and David and Walter were made by Weyland so that could be a reason why it's not alphabetical 

uh oh

im still workin on it tho

I was thinking that the eggs would be encapsulated by a gel-like anti-gravity solution that helps soften the landing should the eggs be fired out of a cannon-like device. Like that stuff from the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Yeah miss opportunity of expanding upon the neomorph

I hope we see more planets with possibly xenomorphs on them but visiting LV-426 again would be nice

By the looks of it this movie will be set in the same continuity as previous films but with no connection to Ripley

@BigDave

I agree 110%

Hopefully that means that they'll explore Ghidorah's origin and other alien life forms in future entries.

Admittedly, that is interesting.

"Which then limits the scope of how many worlds could have xenomorphs"

I think this Ultimately depends on HOW we go from Davids Input to ALIEN. If there is to be just ONE Ship that ENDS up on LV-426 then YES... but suffice to say as FAR as the Movies and Planned (Alien V that was canned) then the Derelict on LV-426 was the ONLY source of the Xenomorph that was Available.

This does-not have to be the Case, if you have Credible ways to Explain as to WHY they had to Result to Clone Ripley for a Queen in Alien R.. there has to be a LOT of Loose Ends to CLEAR.... (Destroy) but that does not mean there are NO other Ships in the Galaxy with Eggs.

"I personally preferred the Space Bomber origin where the Engineers/Space Jockey would bomb enemy planets with xenomorph eggs"

I just cant see Bouncing Eggs on the Surface of a World as Viable.... especially when  we see how Easy it was for Ripley to Destroy them in ALIENS. I have said before it makes more Sense that the Engineer Ships can Dock onto and Carry a Separate Egg Chamber that they DROP on a World... (as in lower it down).

Then Sections would Peel Back (open up) like say how the Warhammer 50K Space Marine Drop Pods do.

"I would image that the Engineer God Emperor wouldn't dress like a peasant he would resemble more of a Lv-223 Engineer with some awesome biomechanical bling and armor like having a biomechanical crown growing out of his temples. Kind of like a Xenomorph Queen"

We have kind of seen this with some of the Comics.... i think it depends on what kind of Route you would take. Placing the emphasis more on Xeno-Conection, but i think RS was going for the Opposite.  The way it seemed to me would be that our Engineers on Planet 4 have a more Ancient Life-style they Shun Technology and Vices like Amish people do... live a more Basic Life than the Corrupt Life that Modern Man do..... it would appear our LV-223 Engineers are Genetically Altered Super Engineers...  they are say like Engineer Replicants...

@idchlife

Welcome to the Forum.... some of what you have gone on about is similar to HOW i saw it going down which i think is NOT too FAR from what we would have seen... The PROBLEM is its a BIT too Convoluted.....  However RS had said we was 2-3 Movies away from ALIEN... a PLOT like yours would take at least 2 Movies (My Idea also had taken that or 3).

So the Problem is HOW do you engage and keep the Interest from the Fans as you see some may want to know more about the Engineers, and David and some would want to IGNORE our David and give us the Darn Xenomorphs already...

Alien Covenant had left us with a MESS because it tried to keep David as a major PLOT and introduce the Xenomorph and well your going to FIND that Hard to do Justice in ONE MOVIE without Sacrifice of David as a Major Character or without Sacrifice the Xenomorph and so the Creator Plot just kind of WORKED... but NOT without UPSETTING like Most who would have seen it as something ANCIENT.

Prometheus had a BOLD PLOT.... one that would have STEERED AWAY from ALIEN, but some Fans would wanted to KEEP it about the ALIEN and seen our Engineers in the Role the Comic Books had shown....

There are Numerous ways the PLOT could have continued after Prometheus... i think many Overlook what RS had said... Creation, Knowledge, Immortality and just look at us having some Giant (not so) Angry Bald Engineers who Create Humans to be Hosts for the Xenomorph.... but WHY...

No there was a BIGGER PICTURE which sadly we wont see anymore.... the Starting Point to the Engineers/Plot we sadly have NOT got to see... Jon Spaihts like Pitch.... which gives us Numerous Clues... but there has never been a Fully Released Version of it... Alien 01 Master Narrative

"I think now the mystery lies between the timeline of Convent (2104) to Alien (2122) and what really happened during that period. Now the third Alien prequel is scraped (sadly)"

It was a Very Tight kind of Time-Line.... what we can pick up from RS was the Following.

*It would have been about what KIND of a World would David had Created. (which does-not mean it would be about Xenomorphs) he indicated the NEXT MOVIE would be less about them....

*He indicated we are 2-3 Movies from ALIEN and by the TIME he Finishes then you would Reach the BACK DOOR to ALIEN.

*He had indicated that the Engineers would Return to Planet 4 and see what David had done and would want REVENGE and be after him.

*He had indicated the Xenomorph has some EVOLVING before we get to ALIEN.

And so it would seem the Xenomorph would have came more into PLAY and Evolved in Part 4 of the Prequels....

The Best solution to this would have been for the Engineers to Discover the Eggs and take them to LV-223 to Re-Engineer them and USE them on Davids world and then maybe Earth..... with ONE of the Engineers Ships only making it as FAR as LV-426.  This way the Engineers go and Perfect the Creation of David which he had Created with the Engineers Bio-Weapon...... David thus becomes the MIDDLE MAN and it Retains him some Dignity in the Plot, yet makes the Ultimate Xenomorph the Polished Creation of the Engineers.

Such a PLOT would have NESTED in between Alien Covenant and ALIEN without any Conflict, because if the Xenomorph on LV-426 has its Origins on the Covenant Ship and David gets to Origae-6 then we are nearly 10 Years before ALIEN....... so then you have Origae-6 and Shenanigans and a Engineer Ship which arrives that then TAKES those Eggs to LV-223 but ONLY get as FAR as LV-426..  within 10 Years!

Instead having the Engineers Return, take Eggs to LV-223 to Re-Engineer then off goes a Ship to find David, and then another prepares for Earth but ONLY gets to LV-426...... which could give us say the LV-426 Space Jockey some 10-15yrs before ALIEN.... but you can make this Hundreds or Thousands of Years with the Destruction of LV-223/Tear in Space and Time.... but ALAS!

I Dread what we have NOW.... Xenomorphs running around a Major City on Earth like within 5 Years of Prometheus is a Recipe for Disaster.

Especially of the Xenomorph is introduced after like 2hrs into the TV Show.

"Scott is one of the reasons why the mystery took some bruises in Covenant"

To be FAIR it seems ALIEN COVENANT is NOT what RS had wanted it was a Response by those in CHARGE to BRING back the Xenomorph in a Knee-Jerk reaction to the ALIEN V that got some Fans Excited and Powers that be then FELT the Franchise... NEEDS the Xenomorph... (YES) but RS was trying to take us away from that as a Separate Franchise/Path.... but ALAS.

When we look at the Background Arc of the Prequels... (ignoring trying to make Connection to ALIEN) then actually having David as the Creator just makes PERFECT SENSE.... it makes it Sinister, and a Ultimate Hubris of Creation.

But this was a RISK as there are a LOT of Purest out there be this that the Xenomorph as a Engineer Creation, a Organism laid by Queens etc... having David be the Creator does FIT with the ARC/STORY of the Prequels but it is BOUND to UPSET and Blindside like 90% of the Fanbase.

Tge END thus does-not Justify the Means...

The Story Arc/Plot of David could have worked if he had Created something Similar but much Different.

LIKE THESE ALIEN COVENANT CONCEPTS (by Rob Bliss)

But then you would have some Fans thinking THESE are NOT the Xenomorph, we want to see the Xenomorph and so Alien Covenant was born out of the STUDIO wanting to bring in the Xenomorph but then HOW do they do that and yet keep David as Main Part of the Plot.... and Hence we got the Plot we had.

For me i think Alien Covenant should NOT have Happened... we should have been given a FILLER ALIEN Movie, be that a Return to LV-223 or a Movie set between ALIEN and ALIENS..... (But NO RIPLEY)..... then RS could have gone and made a Prometheus Sequel that is NOT SHACKLED to the Xenomorph or ALIEN. But ALAS!

"I had to think about what it was about the movie that inspired originally and would I be able to create that for an audience"

I think as they Summed it up.... we have seen the Xenomorph over and over it does-not have that SAME effect as the First Time you ever saw it (regardless of which Movie you saw First). I still think the Xenomorph had a LOT of MYSTERY to it all the way UNTIL we got ALIEN COVENANT.

If we could RE-WRITE the History and Prometheus had NEVER HAPPENED and we had a ALIEN V, 6 and 7!.... what can you REALLY do with each Movie if the Xenomorph is kept how it is.... it would have its Mystery but eventually you would have to EXPLORE this as something that has NOT been done... so the MYSTERY would eventually be Answered and in a way i dont think your going to Please everyone.

"What’s interesting to me is to try to remystify the franchise. The creature, the story, for a modern audience in the way that my 15-year-old won’t think is slow, is the requirement"

THIS ^^^ is a Concern..... in addition to the Time-Line and Setting i am Expecting this TV Series to SUCK! Its gonna be a Teen Friendly Pop-corn Fest!

Hope its not a Power Rangers vs ALIEN.......

The remystify the franchise to me sounds like its going to get us to Re-Think that the Xenomorph came from LV-223, Planet 4... Certainly 100% as FAR as David having anything to do with it....

Prior to the TV-show we had...

*The Space Jockey had Created it.

*The Space Jockey had Found it.

*The Engineers had Created it (maybe Accidentally)

*The Engineers had Found it (unlikely).

*David had Engineered it.

I think it could be a RISK if Noah Hawley wants to throw a Spanner into the Works to get us to Question that ALL of the Above are maybe Incorrect.

I think this has some Potential.... it would be INTERESTING to see HOW this DOES-NOT go and Ignore the Prequels.

I think this must mean that a Weyland-Yutani Ship has been to either.

*LV-426 (2125-2150) maybe.

*LV-223

*Origae-6

But there could be other Avenues to the Eggs, as we have a Time Line of between say 2122-2178, i just hope some Thought has gone into it rather than a LAZY ROUTE.  Hopefully the Movie does-not go and cause a lot of Contradiction or Conflict..... which the TV Series is BOUND to Cause.

"Not everyone will agree with everything. Someone will agree about X and other one will agree about Y, and so on. Just look at the alien-franchise since at least Alien 3, no one can agree about everything if you look at the fan-base"

Well this has been Happening even since ALIENS as some was NOT a Fan of this and it was NOT say how RS would have continued. But ALIENS is a Solid Addition to the Franchise, but after that they all become Dis-Connected to a degree well Conflicting. With quite LAME Plot to Shoe-Horn in Ripley and the Xenomorph without giving any Consideration to Contradiction.

Lets hope that we do-not get any Ripley Connections in this Movie.

Indeed that is from Alien-Resurrection.

Regarding the Xenomorphs in the TV Series, it appears they could be closer to those from AVP (Antarctic Pyramid), personally i am NOT looking too much forwards to the TV Series due to its Time-Line a 2097-2102 ish Time-Line is a Mistake..... a 2180-2200 would NOT have been a Issue.

To me its just a Lazy attempt by Noah to Re-Write what Alien Covenant had set out to do.

Interesting!

I recognize Maguma but not the other two

Daigoro, Goliath and Maguma.

or focus on using the Toho monsters already in the Monsterverse. I felt like Rodan and Mothra could have been focused on more in King of the Monsters but they're significance was drowned out by the OC kaiju

None, going forward the mv should focus on being more original instead of nostalgia banking with toho monsters.

Using toho monsters is toho´s job

Well if Ghidorah is Lucifer then (if Toho would allow it) Destoroyah is Satan

Well thats good news. I was fearing it was going to be a reboot of some sorts

Going by what we have seen in the new trailer and with what little was written on IMDB, they are probably continuing this theme. If we think about it in terms of myths/religion being based on actual historical events, then the kaiju in the monsterverse would/could be represented in religion. Not just western religion, but older Hindu religions as well. There were gods in that religion that had multiple heads too.

Going strictly just by the the Christian religion, then Gidorah (having fallen from the sky) could be ascribed the position of "the morning star". But "Lucifer" being a direct reference to the fallen angel has been questioned by schollars.

If we apply this to the story in this movie franchize, maybe the same could be true? Gidorah could be "The morning star", but the "ruler of hell" could have been another kaiju.

Considering that the kaiju we saw in the trailer was red and sat on a throne and the place around it sort of resembled hell. If this kaiju is from the middle of the earth, and the undertitle is "empire", then the monster could literally have been the source of "the devil".

Anguirus: A skeleton resembling him briefly appeared in King of the Monsters, so they could easily introduce him, with the skeleton being another member of his species. Or, as DangerVille suggested, the skeleton could actually belong to Anguirus himself, with the series introducing him in a story set in the past that eventually shows how he died.

Gigan: They've already established the idea of aliens in the MonsterVerse, so they could do a classic alien invasion storyline, with Gigan being part of their army. Plus Gigan is just so bizarre, it would be a missed opportunity not to include him.

Destoroyah: The Oxygen Destroyer has already been introduced and used in the series (and it could possibly be used again), so Destoroyah seems like a good candidate. They could introduce him (and possibly an army of Destoroyahs) in the last MonsterVerse film, being a massive world ending threat that Godzilla, Kong, humanity and the other Titans have to face off against in one last battle to protect the Earth.

Ummmm, I said the Planet 4 Engineers were probably the peasants of Engineer society.

I would image that the Engineer God Emperor wouldn't dress like a peasant he would resemble more of a Lv-223 Engineer with some awesome biomechanical bling and armor like having a biomechanical crown growing out of his temples. Kind of like a Xenomorph Queen.
