We were so wrong

Back when Prometheus dropped everyone thought it was awful and that there would never be a film in the Alien franchise as bad as it, but them Covenant came out...

>>84425793
Only because Scott waited long enough and called it Alien instead of Prometheus 2

>>84425793
>everyone thought it was awful
Most self-described Alien fans have shit opinions and can't be trusted, I haven't seen Covenant yet but all the Alien films I've seen were great, except AvP: Requiem which was ruined by the teen stars.

You're so pleb, Prometheus was trash because it had JJ abrams mystery box thanks to the asshole scrupt writer, there's no question about it. Covenant is far better, it's a decent flick.

Good to know

As opposed to all the other Alien films with no mystery whatsoever? What the fuck kind of criticism is that?

Covenant is the best Alien movie since the original. Some parts of the script suck, but the overall package, the allegories and aesthetics, make it a fucking awesome movie.
If you disagree you're gay.

Also, Karine a cute.

>As opposed to all the other Alien films with no mystery whatsoever?

Those movies:

A) Were not built around mystery
B) Did not have the characters in the films constantly questioning said mysteries
C) Leave the mystery elements that were raised throughout the entire film and spoken of by the characters in a manner that seemed like they would be solved, unsolved, as bait for sequels

Alien didn't explain where they came from any more than Prometheus, in fact it gave you less answers, do you consider that bait for sequels too?

And if they weren't built around mystery, howcome there were sequels? The first film gave you all the answers apparently.

Aliens:

A) Was not built around mystery
B) Did not have the characters in the film constantly questioning said mysteries
C) Did not leave the mystery elements that were raised throughout the entire film and spoken of by the characters in a manner that seemed like they would be solved, unsolved, as bait for sequels

And speaking on C, the only mysteries raised in the film are: Where do the eggs from from (Solved by the end of the film) and Why does the company want the alien (Money money money)

If you could try to stop being fucking retarded, that'd be great.

>A) Yes it was
>B) Yes they did
>C) Yes it did

>Where do the eggs from from (Solved by the end of the film)
???
Then what was Prometheus about? Why did they need a whole film (which you said didn't explain anything) to explain a mystery (which you said doesn't exist) that wasn't explained in the original (which you said it was)?

If you could try to stop being fucking retarded, that'd be great.

Mystery box=/= Mystery.
Jj Abrams mystery box is a gimmick to hook you up for the next episode. The problem is that there is actually nothing in the mystery box, but you only figure this out in the last episode, when they open it in your face and laugh at you for following them all this time.
