A sequel to Prometheus that actually focused on getting answers from the engineers. Covenant had an interesting performance from Fassbender but nothing else.

Prometheus should have had it's stand-alone universe. They fucked up by bolting xenomorphs onto it, and all the baggage that came with them.

Just as they say Starbucks coffee is coffee for people who don't like coffee, I've concluded that Prometheus was an Alien film for people who don't like Alien films.

I'm in the opposite camp, lol. I feel like Prometheus and Covenant both were deeply unnecessary. The most hurtful thing you can do for a horror franchise is add too much detail. Even if it is as weird and convoluted as Prometheus and Covenant

The movies ruined the horror part of the franchise long before Prometheus.

True, but still, I feel like they didn't really add anything that was needed
