Should've just let Blomkamp handle the series

Everything I read about Blomkamp's ideas for his movie had me extra hyped.

Movie was fukkin lit brehs. When I found out James Franco didn't make it alive even five minutes into the film :dead: That first death scene really set the tone for the film and could not be topped IMO. (Ejogo :mjcry:) shyt was so suspenseful, it would have done well as a separate short film. The music that played during that scene. :merchant:

I was really hoping they wouldn't go there with David and Walter but they did. :snoop:Fassbender kissing himself :heh:

When did I say this :dwillhuh:
:unimpressed:

This was insultingly bad. I'm surprised this even got the green light. Mind numbingly predictable and idiotic.

I liked Prometheus. Even if you didn't like that movie, it had some interesting ideas and themes.

There is nothing redeeming about Covenant.

If we didn't know how the Walter/David thing was gonna end, it would have been interesting.

For all the gripes people had with Prometheus, it had interesting concepts and laid the groundwork for a very intriguing follow-up. This just pissed on all of that.

Hours later and I'm still disgusted. :kobewhatever:

I watched this tonight for the first time since it released in theaters. Searched for my posts in this thread and I feel the exact same way right now. :russ:

This movie is so fukking trash. I will always maintain that Prometheus was a good movie with great, interesting ideas. Why they produced this garbage instead of a direct follow-up with Shaw and Michael going to the planet of the Engineers, I will never understand.

No matter how you feel about Prometheus, its ending laid the groundwork for a potentially amazing sequel.

They did it because fans complained that there were no Xenos and that it was too confusing and too removed from Alien. So the studio caved and switched it up to be less 'Prometheus' focused. Which also kind of backfired, because then fans complained that it wasn't enough like Prometheus, and they didn't get any of the answers they were hoping for.

Alien has one of the most divided fanbases, I swear. Some fans want cosmic horror of the OG. Some want the more action style of the sequel. Some want more engineers and David. Others want survival horror.

Tough crowd to please

Prometheus was so confusing and fuked up, I had to go Tik tok to see the cut scenes that explained why the engineer attacked weyland and his robot . The movie had so much promise though, too bad

I minded it in this and Prometheus because these people were supposed to be scientists/explorers/experts in their fields yet they behaved like a bunch of dumb big tittied bimbos in a slasher movie.
To have them behave so stupidly was just pure laziness on the filmmakers part.


They acted just like book smart pagans.
Exhibiting no actualized experience socially in practical nature.

Which is pretty accurrate.

Prometheus was one of my most fun reviews. As it calls back to aliens in a number of bits.

The problem with the series after aliens. Is the series delves too much into fear. When people wanna see the aliens get their asses smashed on. Not people running in fear. That is why horror staples fail for decades. People tired of watching people scared as hell and wanna see someone fight and kill the horror staple with confidence and moxy. Not somebody scared a fukk for 12p plus minutes. We already sat through a child being scared if these things.
People want to see the xenos and face huggers get that ass beat.
Why is this so hard for Scott to realize.
Disney is making aliens just as atoopid as star wars. Like usual of course. Which is par for the course for the bicepless mouse. Yet for a company so he'll bent on girl powrler. When you get the definitive property of the space Babe and her wiley space kit. Then you do not even use it. Or any lore that have kept this property relevent for decades to monetize. Yet that does disney do. Their goof ass takes stoopid pills like dc. Then fukks it all up like black hole. Like disney fukks up every outer space property since black hole.
