Everything done in Prometheus was brought up in some form or fashion by Scott himself ages ago. He just replaced the Aliens (the original weapon in the bomber ship) with the magic goo. I guess they new there were going to be bought out by Marvel, because that is some straight up comic book shit just like Royal Jelly was................oh wait. Visuals don't make a movie. Especially when the visuals are so poorly spliced together dudes dead in one scene are alive in the next. You can like Prometheus, just like some people can like ARes. But no one on planet earth will convince me that there is anything remotely redeemable about Prometheus other than Noomi f(it isn't like she lit the world on fire either in this film I just like Noomi), Fassbender (the one true star of the prequels), and some of the sets. The set design overall I think was better in Prometheus than Covenant, but Prometheus had almost NOTHING else going for it. I still prefer a reboot to another prequel, just because another prequel means I have to acknowledge Prometheus. Maybe there is some magic cut out there like the Assembly Cut of Alien 3 that helps the movie significantly, but until that time Prometheus remains terribad down there with AvPR.I mean, it has literally put my dislike of Alien Res on the backburner.There is no sequel movie, no prequel movie, no tie in media I hate more in any of the franchises I've followed more than Prometheus.

(Seriously, the mystery was so much more interesting than the clichéd, canon-breaking explanation Scott gave us.)

Quote from: skhellter on Oct 18, 2021, 04:17:42 PMPrometheus is nowhere near as well directed as Alien3. You can tell Ridley did a lot of first takes."do you have an AGENDA, miss vickers?" [nods knowingly like he's in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace]"..and CUT. bloody marvelous that was. Now what's for lunch?"

(Seriously, the mystery was so much more interesting than the clichéd, canon-breaking explanation Scott gave us.)So of the four points you share, all but one absolutely apply to the prequels.I'm not trying to dissuade you of your opinion, just playing Devil's advocate.
