Why am I not excited to see this? Did the /tv/ memes about it ruin my hype?Altho reading facebook comments about the movie (since IMDB message boards are gone so cant go there) there are some who too dont seem that excited.
I guess its just the realization that this will be mainly an Alien survival movie and thats boring. I do hope we get Engineers and backstory about them. Lets hope we dont just get the Engineers turned to stone due to David
I really don't want another movie with either the aliens or engineers, I just want a standalone movie dealing with david, or the other androids from that universe

Yeah a movie on David and the organization on making androids
I just hope it's not full of jumpscares and shitty dialogue.

When has Ridley Scott ever made a movie with shitty dialogue?

>make an alien movie with xenomorphs

I wasn't excited until I watched the prologue. But I'm a huge Ridley Scott fan.

The complaint about it not being enough like Alien is that the people were TOO FUCKING STUPID. In Alien and Aliens you could believe people getting fucked because they were a bunch of space truckers and a bunch of space army men who didn't know better.
In Prometheus and Covenant, you've got these fucking peoples whose JOB it is to explore alien worlds doing the stupidest shit imaginable. That's the suspension of disbelief. That's what people dislike. The logic and integrity of the film is being sacrificed because the fucking actors have it in their god damn contracts that people have to see their faces and they don't have to wear masks too much.

In Prometheus the whole mission was a sham, put together so Weyland could go after his real objective. It makes sense that the "crack team" of scientists would be a bunch of bargain bin dummies given that Weyland never cared about them or their mission in the first place.
Also, even smart people act can irrationally when they are scared

hey idiots voting for the director's cut of alien: you do realize that's the version with the "finding dallas & brett cocooned" deleted scene clumsily wedged back in, right? the version that fucks up the pacing of the climax? the version that ridley scott admitted he released for purely commercial reasons and that he was completely satisfied with the theatrical version?
