Not just good ideas, but any ideas. It honestly feels like Covenant was just phoned in. It seemed like a collection of random unused ideas. A movie made simply for the sake of making another movie. David and walter fighting mortal kombat style surrounded by stone and flaming torches? Really?
Prometheus felt legit, but I don't think anyone involved had any kind of realistic idea where this was headed after. I maintain the utmost respect for Ridley. But I think it's time to hand the franchise off to somebody who does have a solid idea of where to go with it.
It's a good idea to always have the broadstrokes laid down firmly before you move forward on a series.
Prometheus, in my opinion, should never have been intended to be "part of a whole."
Sure, have some threads you can potentially pick up on later, but it should be it's own thing in totality.
Ironically we now have an, effectively, abandoned thread in Promtheus, giving us only part of a story, and then we have a disjointed... Montage of ideas.
Prometheus did feel legit. Even if it was ultimately aimless, it felt like there was some higher brain activity going on. Covenant is like a beast. All instinct. The vestigial bits.
