So in your opinion Alien 3 is better then Covenant??
It's hard for me to gauge because I know Alien 3 is a mess of a film but I've just always liked it which is why I can never pick a favorite out of the first 3. Objectively, yeah, Covenant is probably a better film. But so is Prometheus.
Alien 3 was not the best but considering it came after a movie that raised the bar high and the infamous production problems Alien 3 had, its surprising that it was as good as it was. Magic egg and sucker punch of the intro deaths aside, the film was good, the tone of the film was all about despair and hopelessnes.
If Alien: Covenant is better (in your opinion of course) than Alien 3, Resurrection and Prometheus, then that it gives me some hope but since we all have different opinons and the fact that those movies were not the highest point in the series, I still won't get my hopes too high.

The Peter Weyland Files from Prometheus Blu-Ray
Reveal that Peter,David and Weyland's team (except prometheus crew) know about LV-426 Signal before go LV-223
"As fate would have it, Shaw and Holloway's interest in Zeta 2 Reticuli has proven to be mutually beneficial. While the good doctors rely on ancient carvings and primitive cave paintings, my science division's own long range scans have recently detected a faint, almost imperceptible signal emanating from of the lesser moons in that system. And contrary to the findings of shaw and Holloway, which target LV-223 as our primary site of interest, our findings suggest the point of origin could actually be the moon LV-426.
Per standard procedure, we will embed a David 8 unit with the crew. And he will programmed with multiple contingency plans to address and exploit whatever assets we secure on 223. But only David will know about 426 and will ensure that the rest of the crew - including Meredith - learn nothing about the transmission we've recently discovered until the time is right."
also mural on Prometheus movies
While interesting, Ridley will not consider any of that canon with the exception of the deacon, which he included at the end of Prometheus. The deacon seems to be David's starting point.
The Deacon became the mountain in Fire and stone, which is a canon series.
That's an assumption and, most importantly, Scott could not care less about the comics. He barely cares what any of the films but Alien has laid out. Fox will say whatever (they said Colonial Marines was canon until they then said they essentially didn't care).
QuoteDavid has no knowledge of the Deacon.
He saw the mural he knew what was growing in Shaw. He examined the accelerant. It is true that he was not literally standing beside it when it emerged, but he can make some inferences to drive his exploration/assumptions. I am not saying this would ever be literally called out in the movie (David won't have a journal where he longingly writes about the Deacon) but the steps were pretty clearly laid out in Prometheus.
Fox unfortunately, overules Scott since they hold the rights, and it was mostly the devs that said that about A;CM.
The mural may not been a Deacon, especially when one considers the elaborate events needed to create a Deacon.
