Did David ever say he did ? I remm him confirming she didn't actually died in the crash but never how she died or who killed her , we know she died from chest busting scene.. it's weird that David would kill her because he clearly loved her he always cried when he talked about her or saw her picture, maybe she ended up getting infected and their was no way for him to help her so she died and he became
So mad he decided to kill everything and everyone.
That wasnt a chest burst, that was a dissection.
David and Daniels scene after david thinks hes killed walter.
Daniels: "What did you do to shaw?"
David: "Exactly what Im going to do to you!".
He then trys to kill her, and it also looked like it was going to get a bit rapey before walter stepped in. So yeah, he did kill shaw. He experimented on her, we hope after he killed her and not before. But your not wrong it doesnt make sense that david would kill her. Why would he kill the only person that ever treated him with respect or showed him kindness? If there is an explanation, its not in this movie. Just bad writing.
He dissected her but maybe after she died :/to understand more about humans
shareMaybe, but Im sure he already understood humans. He would have had to in order to be useful on the mission. He already understood a lot of things because thats what he did while everyone else was asleep. During the time shaw is asleep he uses that time to learn all about the engineers. From the trailer I took this to mean that david had found something out about the engineers and thats why he killed him. Theres still the point of why that ship crashed. Did shaw wake up and try to stop david? Did the engineers fight back? Maybe I missed something, but I dont recall there being any explanation as to why the ship crashed, other than the bullshit story david told.
Going back to david killing shaw, he definitely killed her and may even have raped her judging by what happened with daniels. but again, I cant for the life of me think of why he would. Theres just no reason in the characters arc as to why he would kill HER. In prometheus hes obsessed with lawrence of arabia. He even identifies with him. Going so far as to ape lawrence. David wanted to be the hero, to be adored to be praised. Yet when he does do something that he feels should bring praise he gets nothing from anyone, except shaw. Shes the only one who thanks him, who treats him as a person instead of just another piece of equipment. The way he talks about shaw reflects that. At the end of prometheus she says some hurtful things to him, but again shes still treating him as a person by being angry at him and lashing out. So why he then kills and maybe rapes her, doesnt make any sense. Not in the context of the character we see in prometheus, and if he didnt kill her, why would he imply that he had to someone he was going to kill and maybe rape?
My take is that David is a full-on psychotic who can seemingly love Shaw one second, then cut her open the next.
shareWhich is true of David in covenant, but not David in Prometheus. There was a severe personality change during the two films. Everything David did in Prometheus that would be considered evil, was at the behest of wayland.
shareAgreed. Obviously, something went VERY wrong with David!
shareIt's at that point that you have to wonder that if once Wayland dies, does David become a "real boy". But in all seriousness, there are a lot of questions surrounding the Shaw/David partnership that this film just glosses over by giving us a whole new crew. That's part of what took me out of the film.
I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/fyYgj2Fpur0
maybe david and shaw had a relationship :x where she had sex with him or maybe he saw her dreams of her having sex with her ex who died in prometheus and he got curious to see what it was like so maybe he did rape her....however the other thing yes why did the ship crash, davids knows how to fly and theirs plenty of places to land, that means something really went wrong..... their has to be a movie that takes place in between promethous and covenent or maybe the next sequel will be a prequel/sequel. for all we know david and saw both experimented with the black goo since it was such a far trip but then david got to the point where he felt like god and shaw saw it and tried to stop him.
shareI think he did kill her and experiment on her and use her. he needed her to create his perfect creatures. he loved her as much as he was able but he felt like he was superior to her anyway. She was just a means to an end.
shareWe may never know for sure.
