When I go to watch a movie, I want to watch it no matter how long that actual movie is. Hell, I can survive even 3,5 hour movie just like nothing. I just totally dont understand why they cut already existed scenes, if they dont want these scenes. . than, why they created them? They wanted to remove the entire David's intro? They wanted to remove the whole flashback sequence? What a huge dissapointment. Both scenes are very good and they help to provide some attention. . not to mention that without flashback sequence we will never know how exactly David killed the Engineers in their colony. . It show us how arogant someone behind this movie must be. . and maybe this is the reason why many things in Covenant stay unexpleined. You know, how can someone even think about removing (maybe) one of the most important scenes from the entire movie? Is that even normal? Hey, how was these Engineers killed? What happened to them? Ahh. . we wanted to cut this scene. . they just die, dont think about it, it's not important. . ohh, alright I forgot there are a lot of this in Covenant.
