I also didn't get any response for this, is there a reason for including it twice (I presume it's just an error, but you never know)
This is just a link to a Covenant trailer, not Phobos
Yeah, the full Phobos short is 9 minutes long.
Lots of people watched it and decided David created the xenomorphs so they couldn't possibly have existed in the past during the AvP movies. Those people also ignore how old the ship in Alien is...
I guess that makes sense… it's blatantly wrong once you put any amount of consideration into it, but still, it kinda makes sense
Yep. I think the novelization even clarified it as a new type of xenomorph that he created. But even in Prometheus there images of xenos in the room where they find the black goo vases.
exactly; the mural of a xenomorph existed inside the head room in prometheus long before david ever saw it, and the variant we see in covenant came to be known as the 'protomorph', you can notice slight differences between it and the original monster
