Gul GhidorahGodzilla ForumAliens In The MonsterVerse?

 I would like to see the aliens from Gareth Edward's "Monsters" movie appear in the Monsterverse. Since he started the series, it'd be cool to have his creations be brought into the fold. They'd also be cool as an invasive species, something started as a trope with previous monsterverse antagonists. 

To differentiate the aliens from their original story I'd have them take over Brazil, Vietnam India or South Africa instead of Mexico.

idchlifeAlien: Covenant Forum[FanFic] My thoughts on what the plot of Alien Covenant-2 could be and how it ties everything together with Alien 1.

 

 

Yes, I actually thought about that possibility - that humanity is to be hosts for xenomorphs. Did you see some theory on Youtube where speaker notices that Covenant basically === Engineers ship with eggs?

In video it's said that Engineers were created artificially to spread the dying species genome, to help species evolve and exist. Dying species were precursors of modern day Xenomorph.

David merely reverse engineered stuff.

Interesting stuff. It means that there is almost mirrored situation. Engineers = artificial species that transport embryos of their masters, like Walter was overseeing Covenant and human colonists and human embryos.

 

About God Emperor... I think he was... Killed on Planet-4? The guy in a white robe pointing finger at a ship like "what the hell is this thing doing here?"

 

If they were humble enough for Emperor to bee a just a next guy, slightly bigger that the others, and not some kind of powerful entity.

XenotarisAlien: Covenant Forum[FanFic] My thoughts on what the plot of Alien Covenant-2 could be and how it ties everything together with Alien 1.

Actually I think I like to think of the Engineers having a futuristic medieval society. It kind of fits them. Perhaps the Engineer God Emperor saw humanity as a failure either genetically or culturally? Alternatively, humanity was breed to be hosts for their xenomorphs. 

With this I assume the soldiers are like the loyal Knights or Praetorians to their Emperor's will and carry out his orders without question. With military bases, especially weapons facilities are supposed to be hidden by design. Unless of coarse we consider an alternative were the Lv-223 Engineers are a rebel/rogue force of Engineers that wish to hurt the Emperor's favored creation?

XenotarisAlien: Covenant Forum[FanFic] My thoughts on what the plot of Alien Covenant-2 could be and how it ties everything together with Alien 1.

I was just saying the cliché of the military branch being independent and counterproductive to its ruling class doesn't make any sense.

We can speculate which ways to sunday on Engineer culture and how they run their governments. We just don't know too much about them. Perhaps they are a heavily scientific/religious society where the military is the ruling caste or even the nobility while the planet 4 engineers are either their version of the Amish or their the peasants.

Perhaps the go further up in their society they genetically engineer themselves into a stronger form.

My problem with Covenant was because David was sole creator of the xenomorphs, it made the xenomorphs into a younger species. Which then limits the scope of how many worlds could have xenomorphs.

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

idchlifeAlien: Covenant Forum[FanFic] My thoughts on what the plot of Alien Covenant-2 could be and how it ties everything together with Alien 1.

I suspect that not a civil war, but more like "each institution does its thing but the main principle - do not hurt the engineers, do not hurt themselves". Main ruling institution was sad, but OK with the fact that space jesus was killed. Or space jesus was a special "guest" from more aggressive part of engineers, he was sent to proof that humanity is "bad".

 

And typical arrogance, "I know how to do this better" thing happened.

 

Or, you are right and there was a civil war indeed. Engineers on LV-223 could be just simply bombed from the outside. As simple as that. Rogue mission was destroyed by their own kind, different, more official battalion or something.

 

I mean at this point I assume that engineers are just like humans. Angry, sad, scared, arrogant, etc.

 

The fact that location was not even checked/cleaned up/investigated by other engineers points me in direction of thinking it was either secret military operation, or they were destroyed.

 

Rewatching Prometheus again I learned about some new stuff and asked myself about it.

 

In my fan fiction there is problem with Planet-4. It seems that species that lived in the city on Planet-4 could be actually engineers. With the changing that "David destroyed their own kind, maybe senate, advisory circle, democratic leaders, etc" we can assume that engineers on ship that discovered massacre would be still angry. It doesn't change the rest of fan fiction much, though.

Well, and probably there should be several engineer ships arriving at Planet-4. Management-like one (Egg-like ship from the beginning of Prometheus) and several Juggernaut ships. One of them was sent to Origae-6.

 

Also re-reading forum topics and stuff I learn that there a LOT of speculation about different parts of the movies. If one would take speculation about murals, visual appearance of engineers on Planet 4, visual appearance of Shaw in Covenant, his pictures etc - my fan fiction can be too blunt.

 

But I'm glad I wrote it this way, because I took the main somewhat blockbuster-sque approach of those movies and wrote big parts where mysteries were uncovered in blatant way, like in Prometheus (hey space jockey is not a mystery it's blue joe) and Covenant (hey xenomorph is not a mystery it's androids creation). And this script could be filled with a variety details that can leave complementary mystery feelings.

I actually think a real third prequel could introduce us to such level of mystery uncovering nobody asked for (like in existing 2) that we may witness something like "Xenomorphs derived from ancient civilization Engineers are worshipping like Gods" or something like that.

Cool, sorry for the two day late response. I welcome more ALIEN based fanfictions here on this website and welcome to SCIFIED but I have one minor complaint regarding how militaries function.

Militaries often do not go against the orders of their leaders. Also were not sure how Engineer/Space Jockey/Mala'kak civilization work.

What if the Lv-223 Engineers are military scientists as in scientist soldiers? Now I'm not saying they're can't be rogue elements in their military but their entire military can't disloyal to their superiors otherwise the Engineers would be in a civil war.

But other than that cool fanfiction.

Apparently it takes place in the early to mid 90's (possibly set before the events of Skull Island: Birth of Kong) and it's meant to be canon, so it's possible that we'll get some pre-KOTM lore.

SasquaDashGodzilla Forum(Unpopular Opinion) I wouldn’t bet on Legendary adapting most of Toho’s monsters.

Even if they only added two or three of the other Toho kaiju, I would be happy. I feel like it would be somewhat of a missed opportunity if they didn't.

i would really like at least 2 movies on the monsterverse titans in KOTM rather than introducing another toho titan. In the movie after godzilla + kong the new empire.

Gojirafan2013Godzilla Forum(Unpopular Opinion) I wouldn’t bet on Legendary adapting most of Toho’s monsters.

@SasquaDash: I feel the opposite. I feel that the original Titans haven’t been featured enough and that the toho monsters (Mothra, Rodan, Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla) have overshadowed them. I hope we get more of them in future projects. However, I would love to see more toho monsters like Gigan and a few others brought into the MonsterVerse.

I hope that they at least introduce a couple more Toho kaiju into the MonsterVerse. Even if they aren't well known, adding them to the series would be a good way of introducing them to general audiences. Plus, as much as I love the new monsters, I feel like they've been overshadowing the classic ones, so I feel like they should add some Toho monsters so that there can be a good balance of new and old.

Personally, I would love to see Anguirus (since a skeleton that resembled him appeared in KOTM), Gigan (since they've established alien titans in the series), and Destoroyah (since the oxygen destroyer was used in KOTM). Even if they only gave us these three, I would be happy.

JonesyAlien Earth Season 2 NewsNoah Hawley wants to add mystery to the Alien franchise & Xenomorph again with his Alien TV series

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), maybe this would actually be a good thing since the Space Jockey in LV426 will always be mysteried.

I still love the David character though, and now his whereabouts is yet another mystery lol.

In defense of Scott, technically David did not create the Xenomorph as we know it, but a version of it. Imitation rather than invention. Xenomorph origins could still easily be explored without David's influence.

Unfortunately, Scott is one of the reasons why the mystery took some bruises in Covenant. There could be a way to bring back what made Alien good by introducing other things.

As for being fast-paced, I hope that it's not at a ridiculous speed. You got to spend some time at things so people know what goes on, at the same time you can't spend half an hour at a detail.

“Ridley Scott acts as executive producer on the series, so we expect his influence may keep his original intentions for the Xenomorph's origins intact.”

Oh f u c k, please don't let David be the creator of the monster. This makes me worried

It's definitely possible that Roswell could play a role in a future installment. I feel like them referencing Roswell in GvK and having other references to alien life could be a potential set up for a sequel.
