Is the franchise dead?

No thanks.

Scott will die before he's allowed to finish the David trilogy

I did. 9.5/10

The first time I watched Covenant I didn't much like. The second time I watched Covenant I fucking loved it.

I dare not watch it a third time. I will remain forever conflicted, and that's OK.

she cute

Alien sequels should be a different genre everytime.
Alien = horror
Aliens = action
Alien 3 = film noir
Future genres could be Western (xeno is the black hat bandit and Ripley is the sheriff, so to speak), adventure, bank heist (gotta steal some eggs oceans 11 style), comedy (alien falling down the stairs, getting punched in the balls lol), etc.

I love pixie haircuts like this on women

I had finally managed to purge it from my memory, but fuck you very much.

Surely the apotheosis of author-destroying-his-creation cinema.

I loved it and the lore behind the xenomorph. All the different permutations of it and the idea of all those body experiments really is unnerving to me. No fucking idea how the old bastard is going to tie these movies into the beginning of Alien though

Ridley Scott didn't write either of them, he's a director and did a great job at it

You gotta check out the new bursters. Seeing the build up to their birth made the slow parts worth it. Only problem is the rest was pretty shit.

But Ridley did have the script changed from what was initially planned for Alien Paradise Lost, which would in fact have just been about David and Shaw on the new planet. What we got instead was an excuse to have action and horror set-pieces akin to 1 and 2. It's telling that all the best parts of the film (David talking about Shaw, his work, his paintings, etc) are reminiscent of the elements of Paradise Lost, and all the rest is just whatever. Ridley said himself that it was his decision to change the direction of the story because the normies wanted to see muh alien. But he produced The Terror which is top five greatest tv season ever made so I sort of forgive him.

another movie for idiots, like prometheus

I would argue that Covenant was actually better than Prometheus as an individual film but as a supposed continuation of the storyline of Prometheus it failed so badly it was hard not to be bitterly disappointed by it.

I mean, why even bother having an entire film devoted to establishing the engineers just to turn them into an afterthought in the follow-up? 90% of Prometheus didn't even need to happen to get where Covenant was going.

>90% of Prometheus didn't even need to happen
Prometheus didn't need to happen, period

I did. Honestly one of the best pleb filters in quite some time.

No.

Alien Covenant is the biggest turd I've seen in the movie theater, it has no redeeming qualities at all, it doesn't even look half as good as Prometheus did.
