Watch this after and then get back to you all...
I think FOX simply had to do a sequel... i am very concerned with how they may approach this now and try and please the Fanboys... and dread it being tied to Ripley..
I will give my TWO cents to the failings of the Franchise, and how they need to be fixed, but they simply now need to take some of the Failings and improve them instead of throwing it away.
And so YES Engineers are connected to Humans, Black Goo connected to the Xenomorph, and i think its 50/50 if they go for David creates the 1979 Xenomorph or they change it so that he makes a Improved Model.
They have to stick with Davids Agenda, and Bring in the Engineer Connection only i feel they have to think of something Sinister as far as the Engineers Agenda or introduce their Creator..
Ultimately they would be better off showing us how the Cargo on the Derelict came to be in the next movie, which will be hard as i think the A-Z Route Ridley would be taking could have needed 2 more movies at least.
But now its if they bypass David..... Fans will still want and expect to see the Derelict Cargo... unless the Whole David Created it and Engineers Connection... has put a lot of Fans OFF BIG TIME..
So that a High % of Fans now think they should have left LV-426 a complete Mystery.
