Freedom- best checked or un checked?

Definitely.In my opinion,paradise has become David's play thing in a way.David himself seemed to dislike the idea of being created just because they could.So i wonder how he might feel about becoming a creator himself.

I isolate many referencing Bio Shock and Atlus Shrugged for this thread. Basically, we would cause destruction if un checked.

"A man chooses.A slave obeys."Seems likely a pretty good term to describe David.

Indeed. It seems apparent that humankind will be the cause of its own undoing in this franchise and the notion of freedom will apply to the one or very few as the one sees fit- that being David or perhaps Walter depending on how things pan out.

When we left David he had no apparent 'motive' beyond continuing to exist.  Preferably in a state that didn't involve him being decapitated and alone.

Whatever we find him up to Convenant will be something that transpired since he and Shaw left LV-223.

His lack of behavioural inhibitors and a conscience, could make for a dangerous mix.

That's the idea S.M.Whatever has happened to Shaw is likely his doing.If not,then at the least everything else going on is.Spores,neomorphs,protomorphs etc.

Do we know what's happened to Shaw?

No.But i'd say it's possible something has happened to her,maybe David's doing,maybe not.Hell for all we know he trying to save her somehow.It would b an interesting angle,instead of being evil,there could b a reason.Shaw or not I'm certain he has a reason.Because he could would be fairly disappointing as David himself said.

Having him be the evil robot could be a bit predictable.  There was an ambiguity about him Prometheus (eg. looking down on Holloway, but going outside to rescue Holloway and Shaw - and asking if she was okay while Charlie was berating her). Hope this is maintained.

Back to freedom or free will, Shaw exercised that at the end of Prometheus and presumably the same for helping making David whole again. Perhaps Shaw condemned humanity by granting David assistance for her notion of "deserving to know"?

It likely will.Prometheus has drawn a lot of mixed opinions,but one thing almost every body agrees on is David.He brought a complexity not normal seen in the franchise.It'd be a serious disservice To the character,Michael Fassbender,as well as the story if he just simply turned out to be a one dimensional bad guy.

That's possible.I watched it with my mother once,and she couldn't understand why they just didn't return home,Instead going out looking for her answers even though it likely meant her doom.

Depends if they try to play Walter as the good robot to David's evil robot.

Double post

David even seemed suprised that she didn't want to return home.

I saw some one spinning that theory elsewhere.

Is your mom of Vulcan descent lol

Maybe lol.She really didn't like the movie,mainly because she didn't get it.

Tell Mom she is in good company.

Will do.I just hope she hasn't written of Covenant completely,simply because she didn't like Prometheus.
