The Engineers (CELESTIAL CREATORS) Prometheus + Alien Covenant Explored

oh oh hey guys what's going on here with cinematic comics explained and today we'll be taking a look at the

engineers

in the

alien

prequels directed by sir ridley scott, the

engineers

also known as pilots after the individual discovered on lv-426 by ripley La crew and the

alien

s were essentially an ancient extraterrestrial species of unknown origin that possesses some of the most advanced technologies in the entire galaxy, especially in the field of space travel and genetic engineering, who are credited with the creation of humanity. Engineers are believed to have been beneficial

creators

who sold the stars, terraformed the primordial

celestial

bodies, and seeded them with the foundations of biological life as such.

They are revered as gods by some of the many intelligent species they have created over the centuries, while throughout the extended alien universe they have been known to many. names including space jockeys aseans and malachaks the term engineer was first coined by elizabeth shaw and charlie hollyway in the movie

prometheus

because the life forms are responsible for the engineering of the human race. I should also note that its scientific name is mundus gubernavi, which is Latin. To the Universal Pilot, Engineers are extremely pale and hairless humanoids, with two huge arms and legs and raised eyebrow and nose bridges compared to humans.

Their pupils are also noticeably shaped like more oblong symbols, giving them a familiar yet strange appearance. The enormous beings stand at a height of nine to ten feet and, from what we see in the prequel films, appear to breathe oxygen just like humans and have been reported to have a lifespan of 150 years. They also appear to be extremely strong and tough given the fact that The Last Engineer killed Peter Weyland's team in Prometheus by sending them flying across the room with simple punches to further increase their strength and toughness. The Malakix were equipped with biomechanical pressure suits that made them virtually immune to damage from close-range gunfire for the sake of comparison between the known variant species that exist in the alien universe in the Fire and Stone Predator comic series I've read. covered in the past, a physical fight between a seasoned predator and an engineer showed that the latter is much stronger and dominates the fight with a shrug. fires a plasma beam and severely wounds the predator, causing it to rely on his stealth tactics team and the help of a human to defeat it when dealing with the humanoids on planet four, as seen in Alien Covenant;

However, these beings appear to be more primitive and slightly different in appearance than those the USCSS Prometheus crew had encountered in lv223 with eyes more identical to humans and many more variants in body shape than their

celestial

cousins, they were also much shorter compared to the enormous muscular physique and height of the engineers seen in Prometheus, but they did wear the same clothing as the sacrificial engineer who appears at the beginning of the film, suggesting a shared culture between them. In Prometheus, we see the aforementioned lone engineer using his body as a vessel for the creation of the human race which he essentially sacrifices. himself when his people left the empty primordial earth by drinking a biological accelerator that dissolved him and changed his DNA into the planet's first microorganisms which humanity soon developed after this, making the engineers the ancestors of the race human and much of the bioorganic life seen on the current planet as such human dna and engineered dna are virtually identical as is that of the humanoids on planet four, who were probably created using the same process some Offhand comments made by Ridley Scott, who directed the first alien film Prometheus and The Alien Pact suggested that the humanoids on Planet Four were civilians and those on Level 223 were of the militant type.

This leads me to theorize that while they all belong to the same species, many subtypes were created to facilitate their overall goal of creation and exploration with the civilians being used for agricultural and farming purposes to feed the masses, the militant types to protect them. and a possible yet-to-be-seen scientific variant that was responsible for its technological and genetic engineering prowess. This is supported by comments made by the Weyland Yutani teams on both Prometheus. and alien

covenant

with members of the

prometheus

team mentioning that lv223 was a military installation and members of the

covenant

team stating that planet 4 had agricultural sites where food was harvested, given this I believe that humanity had been created by them through an engineering sacrifice exposing themselves to a biological accelerator and who had expected us to become a new subtype with the archaeological finds on planet Earth that were discovered by Shaw and Holloway, it is likely that our direct

creators

would have nurtured and directed our species towards the goal that they had in mind for us and the inherent disgust towards humanity witnessed by the Malachi who attacked the Prometheus team could have been motivated by not respecting their customs, traditions, customs and hierarchy.

I also believe that our desire to explore, create and dominate the galaxy as we witnessed with the exploits and eventual reach of the weyland yutani corporation could have been the reason they decided to destroy us, i.e. weyland himself becomes a species of creator with his development in the David line of androids and seeing humanity that had been created by the engineers of a specific purpose attempt to usurp the place of the engineers as supreme species of celestial creators could have angered them in the saga of Prometheus life and death comics. There is also a discussion between two of the characters named Foster and Melville about why the engineers might hate us when they were responsible for our creation in the first place and Melville said that it is all speculation but that there is absolutely no possibility of contact or negotiation with the engineers.

They are hostile to the site, or hate all forms of life, or have a particular problem with them. his creations kill us they kill insects insects kill us we fight everything we are at the bottom of the food chain why would something so obviously advanced act with such hostility against its own creations to which Foster responds who knows, maybe Mr. Melville ? We are accidents or deceptions, although not much is known about the creators, it is shown that engineers have shown advanced forms of culture that exist within their society, such as language, visual arts, music and clothing, writing system of the Engineers is also strikingly similar to Mesopotamian cuneiforms.

They can be found in the Middle East and their hieroglyphs are identical to those found in Egypt, Mesoamerica and other places on Earth, adding further credence to the idea that they had nurtured our early developments and culture to reflect theirs. . For me, it was interesting to hear ridley scott's take on his culture in the alien covenant audio commentary where he explained that the large stone heads inside the citadel on planet four represented the six elders of the entire civilization, who were composed of intellectuals, artists and savants, this could suggest that a brainstorming took place. The session between these elders led to the formation of the subtypes of engineers we see today who played a specific role in the overall growth of space travel creators.

A superior species. The hypersleep chambers are sure to impress. I trust the movie Prometheus that we discovered. that dozens of cargo ships carrying the weaponized black liquid were ready to take off for Earth to unleash the pathogen and let it wipe out humanity only to see the engineers somehow lose control of their intended weapons and perish. I have covered this pathogen extensively in another video. which I will leave a link to below and if you want to better understand its properties and function, I recommend you check it out now. The crew of the USCSS Prometheus believed the abandoned planet they

explored

was a weapons outpost.

Engineering and development supporting the theory that engineers created the black liquid that led to trilobites and other mutations in the film for war and genocidal purposes. The Prometheus crew also noted that the engineers on LV-223 had been dead for around 2000 years, this leads me to believe that until around 2000 years ago the engineers got along well with humans, but a specific event had occurred that caused them to die. made them become hostile towards humanity, this explains the cave drawings that invited humanity to trace them, so what? could have been the event that triggered them. I mentioned earlier that humanity had probably strayed from the goals and tasks set for them by their creators, but I also mentioned that they were revered by other civilizations who created like gods with the spread. of multiple religions on earth 2,000 years ago began to overcome the then prevailing cult of engineers.

This blasphemy could have angered the true gods to the point that they wish to eliminate us Old Testament style. This is supported by a podcast with Empire magazine where Ridley Scott proposed the idea of ​​engineers periodically visiting the planets they had seeded with life to check their creations if they turned out to be a disappointment, either for not loving them, for not following the path laid out for them or simply by senselessly destroying themselves. and the environment around them, the engineers would eradicate the entire species using the pathogen and start over regarding their relationship with the aliens we love from the film series of the same name, the main theory of their connection with the xenomorphs that Lo What had prevailed until the release of the prequels was that the intergalactic creators had actually created them and that the engineers' ship, an alien, was a bomber ship used by them to wage an ancient war against an unknown enemy that Scott and his family mentioned briefly.

In the director's commentary for the first alien DVD of the original film, we see that the cargo hold of the engineer's ship was filled with xenomorph eggs held in stasis beneath the blue electric fog and in his initial explanation the director stated that the Xenomorph This, of course, has since been pretty much retconned into Prometheus and Alien Covenant. David being actually the creator of the xenomorphs after arriving on planet four, David essentially wiped out the entire civilian settlement of humanoids between the year 2094 and 2104 using the black liquid in the same method that the engineers had planned to destroy humanity in the remains of the city, the android began experimenting using the biogenic liquid to create the neomorphs which I have also covered on this channel and will leave the link below driven by an obsession to create a unique species of his own David tricks the crew of The Covenant landed on the planets and takes over their ship with the plan to create the xenomorphs.

It should be noted that he leaves Planet 4 in the year 2104 with a handful of surviving Covenant human embryos and face-hugger looking embryos 18 years before the crew. del nostromo with ripley would encounter the xenomorphs in lp426, this also feeds the thread and the theme of the creations that usurp the place of their creators with the engineers who create us humanity creating the androids and they, in turn, They create the xenomorphs and each one tries to surpass their godly creators and leave their own mark on the universe, this means that in the next movie that will take place in that space, David will create the xenomorphs as we know them and presumably head into the world actual home of the militants and scientific engineers in hopes of unleashing their acidic predators on them, Ori may simply give it to them as a gift, which seems quite unlikely.

The reason I say this is that for it to tie into the original series, we need to have an engineering full of xenomorph xenomorphs, in the final film of the prequel trilogy. Of course, I'm curious to hear your opinion and if you have your own theories. share them in the comments below well that's all for today friends thank you so much to everyone who requested we explore the engineers introducing the alien prequel series.
