Watching it for the first time just I watched Prometheus a week ago and kinda liked it.

And so far I'm liking it but, damn, sending your whole crew down to an UNKNOWN PLANET with not protective equipment? Like wtf, just cuz the atmosphere is breathable doesn't mean there won't be, I dunno, SOME WEIRD ALIEN DISEASE??? As well as several other potentially deadly things, like idk psychic plants or aliens that say hello by ripping your genitals off.

Do characters in SciFi stories ever read SciFi? Come on this is like 101 shit bro.

The asspull that demystified the xenomorphs and made the universe much, much smaller in a genre that's supposed to be about how vast and scary space is was very, very disappointing. The Space Jockeys/Engineers being absent and presumed extinct worked wonderfully for that vibe in the previous movies, but then "oops actually our new character killed them all and actually invented the xenomorphs" writing in Covenant fucking suuuuuucked and ruined that.

I don't think my old interest in the Alien franchise ever recovered from Covenant. kitty-birthday-sad

David going all mad scientist didn't really make sense to me either. In the previous movie I just got the sense he didn't like being Wayland's servant boy, it almost would have made more sense for him to just be enjoying his solitude. Idk where he got the idea of being some weird android supremacist from.

I didn't like Prometheus all that much but it didn't retroactively reduce my enjoyment of the previous movies the way Covenant did. desolate
