Comperhensive exploration of Alien Covenant - its symbols and meaning

[InterAlien]

This thread was a fascinating read, holy shit.  The effort people go into exploring/reviewing the references and themes of these films continues to astound me.

I appreciate the prequels for what they tried to do; in fact, they are easily my favorite entries after ALIEN. I'm not sure Disney will continue the more nihilist narrative route Scott did from a human perspective, though.

They aren't modern classics like Blade Runner 2049, but they are respectable attempts at doing something new, which should always be pursued - whether it's tone, visual style, plot, theme, et cetera.

Tom van der Linden (LSOO) video essays are something unique, a feast for soul and mind.

Thanks for that. I hadn't watched it before and I really enjoyed it.
