Yea, just the way the film is shot and the tone of it very much tells the viewers that David created the Aliens. Like, that's Scott's choice and it is awful. Authors try to fix it in later stories but the damage is already done because those stories and possibly future films are likely going to be anchored by Covenant. Like, the rest of the film is just ultimately mediocre with forgettable idiot characters. And I consider mediocre films to be the worst kind of thing, because even tho The Predator is a fundamentally worse film, it is much more memorable for some if not most fans, in an eye rolling way.
Should also say that I really hate the idea of the Jockies being bald men in suits.
