Quote from: SiL on Mar 24, 2024, 11:47:10 PMIf the Alien movie didn't exist before Covenant, I'd think the Alien was an inferior version of the Neomorphs that highlighted David's inability to be a creator, since his creation introduces major, unnecessary limitations in the reproduction process with no discernible payoff.

So not terribly keen on the last act.

David in my head canon discovers the means to create Xenos, but the mural in Prometheus indicates the Engineers knew how and the Derelict in Alien (1979) is piloted by a Spacejockey/ Engineer which indicates they knew how to make them, unless of course David put his "successes" on board most Derelict craft and that is why the Space Jockey was chestbursted; I personally hate that notion. I prefer the Engineers knew how to create Xenomorphs, but perhaps they had not used human hosts yet?

I enjoy Covenant in Act I, the Backbuster still makes me ill lol. Act II has moments like David talking to Walter, Act III felt excessive, another Xenomorph loose and I never for some reason felt any terror. I do find the ending with David revealing himself Daniels and then the realization as he listens to Wagner and looks at his hosts for his experiments to be so sublimely dark, feels like true Alien.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Mar 21, 2024, 12:00:08 PMIt's been nice seeing a lot of prequel love pouring out on social media yesterday in the wake of Alien: Romulus' trailer release.

Maybe the tides might sway and we might be able to get one last David movie out of Ridley after all, once the prequel revisionism hits in full swing...

Good for Alien Covenant, the movie didn't deserve the hate that receive when it came out. It's a very good film, could be better? Yes, but still a nice entry to the Alien series. Prometheus for another hand... I didn't see it in years and all the things that I remember about Prometheus are the bad ones. Maybe I should revisit it, still I was thinking to see all the Alien movies for preparation for Romulus (except the AvP movies obviously)

I was so-so about Prometheus when it first released. However, I loved Covenant instantly when it came out (seen it twice in the theatre), and because of my love for Covenant, I opened myself to Prometheus, which I've since reevaluated and I'm a firm fan of.
The same thing happened to me when I saw Prometheus in theatres, I didn't know if I like or not. Finally I decided that I didn't like it and despite of having it on Blu Ray I don't see that movie in years. Covenant yes, I love it from the first time despite there are things that I don't like it but I will give Prometheus another chance before the release of Romulus

Also anyone who's idea of a chatup line is licking someone's face definitely belongs on a list.
