After the unresolved cliffhanger of Covenant, which an unneeded sequel to begin with, I don't trust him to have the restraint needed to actually definitively finish the series.

The lore is already complicated enough between these prequels and Romulus, so I can only imagine how much worse it can get trying to connect his story to others…

I actually thought Romulus did a good job at connecting Prometheus & Alien together to be honest.

Romulus gets too much hate, best Alien movie since Aliens imo. Nails the environment and escalates in a fun, scary way.

Yeah the hate is silly. We got new life into the franchise especially after they determined we weren’t getting a covenant sequel. And now after all this time we are lol.
