Related: Alien 3’s Facehugger Is An Impossible Queen Xenomorph Plot Holeĭavid’s plot leads to the string of controversial Xenomorph hybrids being introduced throughout the brisk runtime of Alien: Covenant, but there’s a big problem with his plan that the movie never explains. Original director Scott returned to this territory in the complexly-plotted 2012 prequel Prometheus, but the movie’s 2017 sequel Alien: Covenant drove the overaching story of the series into a sizable plot hole. Around the midway point of Alien: Covenant, viewers discover that the overpowered android David (one of two robot characters played to creepy perfection by MVP Michael Fassbender) wants to turn the already-deadly Xenomorphs into perfect killing machines so he can unleash hell on the galaxy. He has been carrying out all manner of cross-breeds in his isolation since the events of Prometheus a few years earlier and intends on achieving this twisted goal via genetic experimentation. Alien later spawned a more action-oriented sequel in James Cameron's 1986 hit Aliens, which expanded the mythos and explored Weyland-Yutani's increasing desire to capture and study the infamous Xenomorphs for use as bioweapons. Released in 1979, director Ridley Scott’s iconic “haunted house in space” sci-fi horror Alien introduced viewers to a legendary heroine in Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley and an equally famous monster with the terrifying titular Xenomorph.
The divisive 2017 sequel Alien: Covenant reveals that evil android David 8 is planning on breeding new Xenomorph hybrids to kill off much of the universe - but his plot doesn’t make much sense upon rewatch.
