Maybe he is a bit harsh on prometheus but at the core I agree with it, prometheus is bad as a alien movie, it has no aliens for the first, made the universe way smaller, there is no strange aliens but its like star trek: all life in universe is humanoids...which is boring and lame.
Retconning the space jockey to giant blue humans and its a suit when Giger claimed it to be a fossil and one can tell from its design it wasnt a suit. I hate resurrection but I watch that movie and avp 1 and 2 way more than prometheus.
Im on the same page as this youtuber on it:
Coventant however is great, together with its novelization its amazing
Novel explains the story more, in the movie one have to watch the details and between the lines that David didnt create xenomorph but his own strain of it, more a protomorph, afteral Ridley said that the derelight is alrerady on LV-426 by the time covenant happens. BGut people love the idea of David creating the xeno although the one in the movie has a very different design, different looking eggs, different evolution stages etc but now I shall not dwelve more into this.
Back on point: Kimahri has a point and I can see how one can argue avpr is better than prometheus, it has the true xenomorph and treats it like it while prometheus is just a mess of a movie, grand ideas and epicly shot and looking stunning but people die from their own idiotic and inlogic behaviour rather than to any external threat. Scientists, the best earth has behaves like teenagers and nos cience is done etc. I rather watch AVPR, cruel death scenes and loved see the alien hive in it etc.
Ridley has the same issue as Lucas where the director have too much power and does whatever he wants, star wars phantom menace was a mess, prometheus was that too and both has same issue: director do whatever he likes and everyone else is yes men.
While in alien it was thanks to: brandon, Giger, Hill, Ridley, and many others who mixed their ideas and a joint operation that made the movie magical. Remove these people and it wouldnt had been anywhere as good.
