Comment on Please stop making Alien movies

“Covenant” and “Prometheus” would’ve been killer movies to kick off a new IP.
I might be the old man shouting at clouds, but I’ve been turned off to all franchise “reboots”. Just sick of rehashes and revisits and the cute little “winks” these movies do to the previous installments.

Yes! The whole time I was watching Raised by Wolves I was waiting for some kind of Prometheus tie in! It felt imminent.

Hollywood has retold so many stories they’re running out of things to come up with. Hence all the reboots and remakes :(

The interesting thing is that I almost always hate remakes and reboots, but I love the Alien series. I think Covenant and a couple others were bad but generally they’re all still worth watching for me. I really enjoyed Romulus and I loved Prometheus. I do not get all the hate that movie got.

Because it was bad movie. Bad characters, nonsensical plot, and did nothing creative or interesting with the mythos.
It was like the Star Wars prequels or sequels.
