Alien: Covenant vs Covenant (Neo vs Xeno)

[Scorpio]

It revived it because a lot of people liked it.

It revived it because a lot of people liked it.

And a lot of thought it was just ok, pretty sure a substantial amount were disappointed and felt like it was a missed opportunity or simply didn't like it. It was still in the limelight mainly because it was a prequel to Alien and because Ridley himself was involved.

I'll leave this quote by Paul Anderson:

"If you work with a subject matter beloved by a hardcore fanbase, then there's going to be a huge amount of discussion of what you've got wrong or right.  In some ways you can never please overly obsessive fans, it's just impossible."

I see we are having the same discussion simultaneously in two threads. That quote is on point, though there are major issues that go beyond from hardcore fans personal vision how the franchise should be.

Difficult, but by no means impossible...

Truem, but not all people loved it. I liked it a lot but i could nitpick a few holes in it if i wanted. But for a videogame, coming after A:CM it's a godsend     I wish there would be a update of it in the future where some of the things that annoy me are ironed out, simple thing really. Currently debating whether i should buy it for PC as well, have the PS3 and PS4 version.

Not all fans liked Alien Isolation.  Some hated the fact there was only one alien for the majority of the game and you couldn't kill the alien.

I blame the internet 

Many times fans (not just fans even, anyone, anyone at all) post their opinions so quickly and so easily that the opinions themselves take on a life of their own. Each point of view develops a concentrated faction of adherents before people take the time to consider what's being said. Instead, we start scanning social media posts for ready-made opinions we can import as our own. (Not that anyone here is guilty of that, and certainly not me    )

I thought it was alright until Leia started floating in space.

Exactly. Even if people realize this, they more often than not simply cannot see the flaw in themselves. They may think others blind sheep for following popular narratives on social media, but they will think that their own change of opinion on e.g. the new Star Wars movie was entirely their own.
