Someone to explain me this please 😅 I didn't understand it

Steve Asbell (20th Century Studios' president) passed along Scott Wampler's (Fangoria contributor, formerly of Birth Movies Death, noted big Alien franchise fan on social media) comment about Covenant being a "banger" to Ridley Scott directly.

Hope Ridley smiled at that one, 'cause Covenant is, indeed, a "banger." 8)

I still stand by my love for Alien: Covenant and David and the Neomorphs (though I do think it falters majorly when the Alien itself becomes involved).

Surprised Asbell is familiar with this British colloquialism.

Local is usually stumped when it comes to these kind of words.

While I wouldn't say "majorly" myself, I do very much think that the third act should have streamlined things down to one single Alien (keep Oram's around longer, scrap Lope's entirely). The David/Walter interplay in the second act is the real heart of the movie, though.

He hangs out with Ridley on the regular. I'm sure he's learned a lot.

Also it would have been great for the Alien to fight a Neomorph, to win and then be defeated by Daniels in the crane.

A confrontation with a Neomorph is something that briefly happens in Foster's novelization. Can't remember if it was in the script or if it was totally ADF's doing, though.

Man...with a few more changes, such as; a little more Giger aesthetic in the citadel of the Engineers, a little Shaw before arriving at Planet 4 and keeping only one Alien...this could have been irrefutably the third best Alien movie with everything and its controversial approach.

I think it's easier to improve than Prometheus. Plus it has a great soundtrack.

Hell yes, I'm agree with that. Also the third act I would make it little longer, for better preparation for the Alien. It would be so cool if we had an scene of the survivors after escaping Planet 4 and they having a dinner before going to hypersleep and the Chestburster coming out during the dinner

I think it would be cool to see the Alien Fighting other creatures (and preferably winning) in some kind of live-action media.



And no, I don't mean the Predator :laugh:, but some new monster that appears in an Alien movie, like the Neomorph in Covenant.
