Prometheus or Alien Covenant?

[The Old One]

The best scientists in the entire world doing idiotic things, it is, certainly far more egregious.

Ridley Scott is to blame. He should step aside and let someone else direct.

[Evanus]

The prequels are Ridley Scott films and IMO it should stay that way.

I prefer to save what cargo I can instead of letting it all go down with the sinking ship.

[Evanus]

The ship already sank. After Resurrection and AVP.

But there's water in the dingy!

[Gr33n M4n]

AVP is it's own separate thing so it shouldn't count. Resurrection was bad but the prequels have ruined the aura of mystery the original Alien films expressed. The people who actually enjoyed Covenant watched a different movie from the one I watched.

[Evanus]

I just enjoyed a pretty good movie that gets shat on too much.

Finally someone on the same page as me,  i have been saying this for years.  Dropping Didley would instantly improve the next movie,  if we get one.

Finally? Many have been saying this for some time.

[Corporal Hicks]

I'm not sure it's necessarily the directing, more he shouldn't be involved in the story crafting.

I'd much rather see Scott's vision through to its completion, honestly. The films definitely have their problems (Prometheus especially), but I admire their intentions and genuinely really like Covenant, and despite the films' problems... they are very, very interesting. And I'll take an interesting, ambitious, flawed film over one that is perfectly structured but has nothing at all of note to say.

Among the massive general public, I think that thinking rests in a very small hardcore minority though unfortunately. My hope is it's just finished in any format at this point... novel, comic series, something, so it doesn't leave the prequel fans forever hanging in what-if limbo.

I'd rather leave the prequel fans in limbo than give Scott an opportunity to tie his "vision" directly into the derelict on LV-426.  At least now there's still room for doubt.  That all goes away if he turns David into the Space Jockey or some shit.
