Work on the Sequels Stopped?

If dumbasses in the Alien community..universe..would follow these 4 simple rules everyone would be happy..even the idiots who will disagree..

1. Smart awesome story & dialogue  (If someone with an IQ over 8 would have seen Alien Covenant in the editing room, he'd have quickly suggested redoing almost 80% of the movie).

2. It must have smart creepy terror scenes in it. If it doesn't  it will fail, just like every other after Aliens. Prometheus had a bit.

3. Aliens should look like the Alien. Why does every movie have to have a different design? Makes you scratch your head.

4. Location: Old rusty spaceships, space stations, bases and outposts on other planet. Basically anything that does not look like Earth.

That's it, if those 4 elements are present in every Alien movie they'd probably do great.

HURR I WANT EVERY ALIEN MOVIE TO BE LIKE ALIEN ISOLATION IF YOU DISAGREE YOU'RE AN IDIOT - the post.

Isolation would make a nice movie though...

Agreed.

Rosenthal was still indoors and relatively nearby the others. It's not like she went strolling alone outside among the deadgineers at night. Now that would have been a full blown horror cliche. Also, David was not some total stranger. They knew he was from the crew of the Prometheus; a supposed ally.

Prometheus and Covenant are not irreconcilable with the introduction of David as the progenitor of the Alien, and I think Covenant should be commended for how it addressed the effects of the accelerant without getting bogged down or making things worse. It certainly did a better job of explaining it than Prometheus did.

I think it will be at least a year or two down the road before Fox has serious considerations on a sequel to Covenant due to the lackluster performance at the B.O. It would be entertaining to see what happens next, though I'd be content if Covenant ends up being the last of the prequels.

He assured them it's safe plus at that moment I was still kind of trusting David as a member of an audience.

Compare that to Elgyn in Resurrection. I didn't have problem with the way Rosenthal died actually.

Why?

I didn't take that as being outright evil, I took it as a playful android being curious and letting it overtake him. He might have been something of a classic villain in Covenant but in Prometheus he was much more nuanced. Not that I think Prometheus was a better film, but that's my take.

[Paranoid Android]

He literally infects a fellow crewmember just to see what would happen. I just don't understand.

His motives are pretty ambiguous in Prometheus. He's clearly curious but also still following Weylands instructions. Holloway did kinda give him the go ahead as well.

So 80% of AVPGalaxy are 'dumbasses' and with an IQ below 8? Why do you Ridley haters insist on speaking for everyone when you evidently don't? Just stop.

Holloway had no idea he was "giving him the go ahead". How is that a justification for anything?

David got triggered by Holloway's consistent spite of him as well...everybody gets triggered, even the most composed person.

His "anything and everything" line. David gave him what he asked for, with both barrels. Whether that's justifiable is a different question but Holloway gets what he deserves if you ask me.

So someone who poisons people when offended is trustworthy?

I know what you meant. There was no sequence of David asking Holloway if he'll be willing to drink a foreign chemical just to see what effects it would have on his body and Holloway saying 'yeah, sure'. Answering to a 'what will you be willing to do' question with an 'everything' type of answer is a figuritive answer, not a literal one. It just indicates that he really wants answers. David basically poisons him without his consent. I don't understand why this even needs to be explained.

That's ironic cause neither do I. In davids view holloways line justifies his actions is what I mean, obviously he doesn't literally ask to be poisoned.

And he deserves it cause he's a massive predjudiced dick.
