What are we in for?
Dropped it a couple of seasons back, too boring.
I feel like reality is more interesting then the show at this point.
drawn out boring cash grab, Frank should've died and the series should've ended at Season 3
>Main character has sjw haircut
>Scene with two men kissing
>Comedians David Franco and John C. Reilly are part of the cast
okay what the fuck went wrong. Prometheus blew this piece of shit out of the water easily. No wonder this had a horrible opening weekend. Also, for a "lifeless" planet, there sure were a lot of gnats flying at the camera lens in all the outdoor scenes. But I have to give credit where credits due. The ending to this movie was easily the best ending of the whole series and most movies that have come out in recent years, it left the whole audience with their jaws dropped. Can we have a general discussion thread about this movie and its pros and cons? Its a very important piece to the whole canon of the series and I want to hear your guys thoughts.
Everything wrong with Covenant:
-The first scene is cringe as fuck when he walks over to the statue and looks up to say his name. It's a lazy and overly simple way to establish that he was created, yet he is perfection so that he will eventually rebel. I absolutely loved his hesitation of listening to Weyland when he asks to bring him tea however. This was way more subtle and already instills a menacing tone, which should be held throughout the movie, but sadly we do not get this.
-Set the captain immediately on fire, sure, plot device to make a more insecure and naive/impulsive person the new leader. The woman cries, why should we feel sorry for her? Why should we be invested in her loss? We don't know these people. It sets the tone for not caring for the crew.
-The entire ship doesn't have energy because one piece of the entire sail is busted? This is supposed to be high tech shit? Why is there orchestral music playing for a mundane task like fixing the solar shield by cutting a steel cord and hanging a new cord on it? This entire scene is overblown.
-Take Me Home, REALLY? People think this is going to be a classic in .. 87 years? Give me a break. Even if it will be a classic (I guess I just don't like the song), it's a poor choice imo. It's probably a David setup, but who knows at this point, right?
-Why COMPLETELY ignore your mission's objective because you have a hunch? Wouldn't it be suspicious to find a message like that? Why do you care about your crew not wanting to go back in cryosleep when you have this massive mission responsibility with clear content on how to execute it. Surely the insecurities of one person shouldn't result in a massive logical flaw like that?
-Why don't they wear their helmets when entering a new world? Sure, it's breathable, but why should you assume there aren't any micro-organisms that can fuck you up? There's already vegetation!! T H I N K.
-You're really not able to knife the creature when he's on your face? Come on woman.

-Why does this woman in the ship after the guy was infected shoot a shotgun inside her ship (which can cause malfunction) and doesn't she run outside to find her crew members? She'll have a better chance of shooting it, there's only one way where it can come out of AND she can potentially find immediate back up. But no, she stays inside of the ship and blows it up instead. NICE.
-That small beast is resilient as fuck. And grows like a motherfucker. HOW? In every movie before this they didn't grow that fast. They grew fast, but not. that. fast. I'm pretty sure they fucked him up, yet they didn't. I'm pretty sure I saw them putting bullets inside of it, but whatever. Perhaps they didn't. I guess I can let this one slide because it's nighttime, it's a weird thing attacking and it's strong as fuck.
-David runs super duper fast into the dome. The rest is like: wtf is this shit? But they're slow as fuck, who knows what else is out there. One thing wrecked half your crew, better chill the fuck out following the strange man (where you have no knowledge of) in a very, very slow pace.
-Boring shit inside the dome, no connections established, Tennessee is arguing with the rest of the crew on Covenant, because he's emotionally invested, but the rest of the (pilots I guess?) are sensible by not letting him go down with the giant ass ship in an ionic storm that can wreck it.
-People wandering off one by one. Why? Stupid David - Walter one on one. Bad sexual joke (if it was one at all, or just bad choice of words, of my mind being too sexual too fast). It's supposed to establish a bond between the characters or a rivalry or to show that David is superior or whatever, or that humans are lesser than the synthetics, but it's just a clumsy way of portraying that with the flute playing. It was like two people going on their very first date ever.

-How does shooting and screaming of people not echo through where the gathering point was? Why does the captain trust David after he's shown to peacefully "communicate" with the beast? Why do people keep wandering off 1 by 1?
-How does David make the eggs? Did he sculpt them out of organic material? Where did he get that organic material? How does he perform genetic engineering and/or molecular studies?
-The goddamn part where I completely stopped taking this movie serious was when the chestburster stood up and mimicked David's posture. This scene could've been great, but they completely butchered it with that kind of imagery. Yes, I get it, David is the creator, but you do not need to have the chestburster mimic the God of the species to establish that. This part made me realize the series has become a mockery of itself.
-Somehow the reasoning of Tennessee gets through the 2 copilots. Why? How? He hasn't made any arguments other than: we need to save them. Why does it work now when it didn't before? What has convinced them? It's lazy plot progression that's what it is.
-The synthetic fight should've been portrayed better, or at least the obvious win of David pretending to be Walter should've been way more subtle. The "twist" wasn't a twist at all, even if he played along until the very end. Hollywood, have you forgotten how to make something entirely believable?
-Non suspenseful shower scene. This could've been waaaaaay more dark. Instead you get the blood from the medical bay (how does the alien get out? wouldn't something like that cause for immediate quarantine of the subject? wouldn't they suspect that the synthetic isn't Walter but David or that there is at least a traitor on board?), transitioning into the xenomorph getting behind the couple. Of course there needs to be an obligatory hint at the sexual nature of the entire thing, but it's -again- portrayed so badly. Just stick your tail in her pussy, yeh.

>While discussing her character, Martine, in the upcoming indie flick, Nobody Walks, >Thirlby told the site bluntly, “Martine is a slut." She then continued, “I'm not a fan of slut-shaming. I use the term slut in a very sex-positive way. I'm a slut and proud of it. All women should be. When it comes to Martine and Martine's sexuality, which is a very specific thing that we focused on nailing -- no pun intended -- she doesn't compartmentalize her sexuality."
>The role gave Thirlby a chance to examine a very modern take on sexuality -- one that happens to jibe pretty closely with her own personal philosophy, as it turns out. "She's comfortable with the notion of having sex with her friends, and I think that's something that she does, and that's something that's pretty popular among the young kids these days," she says with a laugh. "And it's, I think personally, a very healthy view of sex. You have sex with your friends -- why not? They're trustworthy, you know them, you like them, you know? You have sex with your friends but then you're still friends the next day."

Is Star Wars feminist kino?
>>83263203
keep alienating the majority of your potential consumers, that sure as hell worked for ghostbusters
>>83263240
They're actually not alienating anyone in their consumer base. The "men" who still like Star Wars are all such feminized little fags that they don't even think of themselves as men

It's an enjoyable action flick.
Because they took an epic legend and made it chavvy and laddish to appeal to idiots.
