Prometheus is an absolute dumpster fire that I hate everything about and made me start to dislike Scott's constant involvement in the franchise. Covenant was a little better..........but not by much. You can tell he didn't want to do anything more with the Alien. Which is why I hate his involvement in the series now. Make constant complaints about the franchise runners wanting Alien in an Alien movie, make an average then final movie to the franchise, and instead of leaving, stay attached to everything involving the series. Makes no sense other than he thinks Alien is HIS franchise.
I cannot stand Prometheus though. I think it is the worst movie in the franchise INCLUDING the two AvPs and Resurrection. A waste of celluloid. And all three of those movies I think are pretty freaking bad.
Get rid of the boneship, and leave out the jockey suits from the first film, and prometheus isn't even related to Alien.........SO WHY TRY TO CROSS IT INTO THE UNIVERSE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Just make your own BS sci fi movie Ridley, damn.
I actually think his whole series of Raised by wolves was done because he had to go back to the Alien in covenant, and RBW was a way for him to get his creative lunacy out of his system which he could've done before sullying the Alien franchise good name.
Seriously, this movie pissed me off to what I imagine Aliens fans felt about Alien 3 and I cannot WAIT for Scott to separate himself from the Alien series so we can avoid any steaming piles of dog shit in the future. I don't care that he is going to do something different with the Alien everytime he directs, his last two takes on the franchise are trash and you can only expect trash takes on future installments.
Covenant takes an immediate hit for having to follow prometheus. A brain dead take on origins that didn't need to be exposited on. There is so much in this movie that makes me roll my eyes about how f**king dumb it is that I've only watched it maybe twice since 2012.
