Then what was the difference in the Aliens in the pods from the original movie?

the original movie gave us all of the important info and left that to speculation and imagination and the mystery of it made all of that so cool.

seems like a really bad reason to make these movies and yet, there is something interesting they had in this movie and it was completely unexplored and ignored.

despite that this movie could've been really good. it could've been everything leading up to the point david finds them, but instead they never find david, they take refuge in his little shop of horrors, unbeknownst to the audience and the characters in the movie david murders their android and assumes his identity sabotaging/killing them/experimenting on them. along the way they piece together what happened on the planet and what has been done in this palace but don't know who and why, but then david reveals himself towards the end and gives his bad guy speech and blah blah blah a fight ensues and david dies and they head off to the planet they originally were going to but then it is revealed to the audience that daniels is unknowingly carrying an alien embryo.
