Prometheus Sequel (ALIEN: Covenant)

[SNIKT1950]

Nothing in this movie matches the intensity of the C-section scene from Pro.

Lindelof is the reason Prometheus works. [current] Ridley without Lindelof is like a chicken without a head.

That plus the studio wanting to do more alien less prometheus

That plus the studio wanting to do more alien less prometheus

It was Scott's decision to bring in the Xenos and rename the film "ALIEN" instead of "Prometheus".

The studio had already greenlit Prometheus: Paradise Lost but Scott [to troll Blomkamp] decided to shift focus from the Engineers to "the dragons."

This is fake news

What reveal? Don't tell me you seriously thought it was Walter...

Eh, I mean it as more of a reveal to the characters in the movie. After the foreshadowing of David reaching for the knife, plus his emotion when the Xeno got sucked out the air lock, it was pretty obvious it wasn't Walter.

I just thought it was a neat ending, where he doesn't even try to play along with the "building a log cabin" thing.

I have bad taste in movies, sorry ;_;

Not according to Lindelof.

Why was scott trying to troll him?
Why was he being so rude?

Very surprising that Scott scrapped 3D for Covenant after using it to such spectacular effect in Prometheus. That's a tough one choosing between Prometheus and Covenant, like everyone has already said they both have fairly significant issues. Prometheus may be the better overall film but as of right now I rank Covenant pretty high as an entertaining guilty pleasure. If I had to choose between the two I think I'd go with the latter.

I still don't get why people have a problem with the crew going down to the planet without helmets, science has shown that pathogens are evolved to the organisms of the planet's ecosystem that they're from. If humans ever do make it to a distant alien planet that has exact Earth like conditions, humans will not catch an alien pathogen because it's biology has not evolved to infecting organisms from Earth. If humans remained, then eventually alien pathogens will adapt to Earth organisms. The crew of the Covenant are unaware that humans as well as all life on Earth was planted there by the Engineers and that their biology might be threatened by an alien world because of it. They have no reason to fear alien pathogens.

This logic is not science.
The reason for this is because the reverse can also be true. Humans could contaminate the foreign environment. (See when Europeans met Naitive Americans) Biologists would fear killing off the local wildlife.
Additionally, there is no way one would know if an alien pathogen would infect humans or not until tests are done. So no scientist in their right minds would take that risk and would use this movie as a bad example.
I would go so far as to say MAYBE explorers would, but these were not explorers. They were a simple crew of a colonizing mission.

What about alien bugs? What about bug bites?
Not worry about that?

There are bugs in Australia that can kill u.... in our own world
Imagine another planet

 

[jye4ever]

Spiders are going to kill everyone.

We need to eradicate them before that happens.

 

[pug205]

Forget the Alien's origins, why couldn't Ridley at least kept with the tradition of naming the androids alphabetically in this film?

Ash
Bishop
Call
David

I can just imagine Ridley pitching another Blade Runner:

"We'll make Deckard the creator of all the Replicants -- but he's also a Replicant -- who created HIMSELF!!! **** Villeneuve, that ******. I'm better at everything. The end."

If the train of thought were to continue, the alien bug venom would not affect humans.
Plus "Walter" because F.U. tradition, continuity, lore, mythology, logic, etc.

Yeah I dunno why really but Spiders freak me the **** out and yet I have no problem with, say, ants.

Some spiders can kill u. They have fangs.
Ants wont harm you, and the ones that bite will just leave a sting and thats all.
