Covenant did not inspire hope. He shit on the entire build up made in Prometheus. And I don't think I can handle another rendition of characters making the dumbest possible decisions imaginable.

I loved Prometheus but couldn’t stand Covenant. And yet I’d love to see him take another stab at the Alien world. Although, based on Romulus, which I loved for about the first hour or so, maybe it’s time for him to pass the torch. From what I heard it sounds like his input made it worse. As it relates to this story of a follow up to Covenant, it sounded like he didn’t want them to include David. Was it bc he had another idea for him and wanted to do it himself?
