Why did Ridley change the story?

[Nightmare Asylum]

He could bring an old friend from the redemption zone.

Lindelof is a bit of an anomaly to me. I haven't really loved a single feature film screenplay he's written, and yet, I am a big fan of Lost, The Leftovers, and Watchmen. Yes, even Lost's series finale, which didn't do much in the way of answering long-standing questions, but did profoundly deliver on an emotional resolution for the characters.

Can you imagine Disney hiring J.J Abrams to make the next Alien movie? 

I could definitely see them hiring Rian Johnson for it.

The engineers outfits are literally the similar make up to the LV246 Alien.

This is truth. I can imagine that David created his praetomorph. But I can't imagine that he somehow "adds" his parts to the praetomorph and the result is Big Chap. Take me right. David can use Engineers for these purposes. Or Engineers can "borrow" praetomorh and improve it. But not Devid "DNA" = biomechanical Alien. This is the same as saying that the Space Jockey is David. Wait, oh sh...

No one needs sexual humour and crude Hollywood nonsense in an Alien movie. So JJ Abrams can JJ his way back to his mansion and not do anything ever again

He could bring an old friend from the redemption zone.

Lindeldof is a writer but anyone can come up with an amazing story. I feel writers are often overrated because producers and the studio usually ruin their work anyway. Famous writers have out stayed their welcome

This has baffled me for years...did he retcon Prometheus?

In Prometheus we see the following evidence there were Aliens that were already created

- When the crew find the dead bodies of piled up engineers, their chests were clearly broken out
- There was some sort of 'shrine' to the alien egg, AND, on the wall you clearly saw the ALIEN set up like Jesus on a crucifix

So if David created the Xenos, what did they find in the Prometheus military out post?

I think it's very simple.
- Before "Prometheus" Ridley made it very clear that he did not want to bring back the Xenomorph in his prequels.
- In a press interview before "Covenant" Ridley made it clear that he was told that he had to put in the Xenomorph in "Covenant". No fan or group of fans could make Scott do this. It had to be the studio.

Because he's old and doesn't know what the f**k he's doing story wise.

Sir, I applause !

[Evanus]

Nah, because he's old and doesn't give a f**k about what anyone else thinks.
