My only real issue with Prometheus and Covenant was that they removed a lot of the mystery which I felt made the whole thing much cooler. The Space Jockey was just a big white dude in a suit? The aliens aren’t actually aliens at all, they’re a combination of the goo that created life on Earth and an angry robot’s genetic engineering experiments?
I don’t know, it made the whole thing feel a lot smaller and more pedestrian.
I don’t think we needed to know where they came from. It doesn’t matter. Or at least it didn’t used to matter. I wish Hollywood was satisfied with leaving mystery in things even if they’re big movie franchises. Maybe it’s okay if we never find out the face of the person sitting in Dr. Claw’s chair.
I can see that. But I saw the “Engineer” as not a mastermind but just a grunt that deeply despised mankind and could just as easily be making all that up to F with Weyland.
