I'm starting to question what the point of being a fan of this franchise is anymore. There's never going to be another movie that satisfies everyone. The direction the series is going in is just going to piss people off and kill everything. Scott is chasing his muse into a black hole.
Just skip Covenant. For your own mental health. Move on to another fandom. You'll be happier. There is only death and mourning here. Sure, we can watch the old movies and enjoy those, but soon the newer prequels will kill off anything you liked about them. In a year there will efffectively be no fandom left.
Some of us will stay, like the musicians playing on the Titanic, but eventually the sun will burn out and all life will cease. Perhaps some visitor from another world will stumble across the ashes of earth and find a skeleton holding a laptop. The visitors will wonder what this strange creature was doing, and speculation will run wildly. Decades after returning to their homeworld, a holographic adventure film inspired by this discovery is made, and it will be rather sensationalized. In this movie, the human skeleton with a laptop turns out to be a spacesuit. Inside is a creature that closely resembles the alien visitors.
The visitors who remember the original discovery are angry. They go home to their house-pods and furiously type away on their computers, not noticing the asteroid about to hit their planet.
Years later another civilization discovers the visitor's home planet. Exploring the ruins of a city they discover the remains of one of the visitors at their computer. "What was he doing? Is this a skeleton?" one of the Explorers says. The other Explorer pauses for a moment, then says "Nah, it's gotta be a suit of some kind."
Um...anyway, what was I talking about again?
