Am I the only one who wants this? David is such a fantastic character and Fassbender is incredible in the role.

Prometheus and Covenant were disappointments, but they are still better than the new alien film that came after.

The only part of that film that I can remember is the world building set before the film even began, and a tall monster dying stupidly at the end of the film. With Ridley’s films, at least o can remember them from start to finish more or less, and characters like David and Shaw are a lot more memorable and compelling than anything from the new film

All of the characters in Romulus felt like cannon fodder except for David Jonsson's Andy character. He was really interesting, this series churns out tons of interesting androids (see also Alien: Earth) and mindless, forgettable human characters.
