@ishambard@cupoftea.social @vitex@f.cz I made the same mistake, thought this was about Prometheus where every single "scientist" was dumb af. Unsurprisingly I did not waste my time watching Covenant and it seems I made the right call.

@gabrielesvelto@mas.to @vitex@f.cz Didn't watch Covenant either, watched some reviews and break downs after my older brother said it was kinda meh. The biggest sin of Covenant in my opinion is David's involvement with the creation of the Xenomorph as we recognise them. The scariest thing about Alien, in my opinion, was that Space is big. Like, really big. You wouldn't believe how vastly, hugely, mindboggingly big it is. The Xenomorph could be a reality that evolved in that manner out of necessity. It could have been engineered by a third party, I accept that. But for it to be related to humanity as the creator, by extension as humans made David, undermines that significantly. It does create a different fear, of being absolutely alone in the grand scheme of the universe. It could work, but I don't think it works in the context of the Alien universe.
