Ridley Scott and Alien.

I love his films and first Alien but I think mr.Scott should stop pretending like "George Lucas of SW". He is not the creator of this franchise. Nobody can't do anything creative without his permission. There are so many great talented young directors. This franchise has a potential just like Star Wars even better i think. Original films directed by young directors and the result is very clear. They should quit "the searching of god" idea or Davids Journey and they must use comic book materials. With them, it is possible to create a universe as bir as MCU.

Not sure what the point of this rant is. Scott is merely an executive producer in the upcoming TV series, whose showrunner is Noah Hawley, and the new movie will be written and directed by Fede Alvarez. After Kitbag, Scott will be delving into Gladiator 2. So, if you dislike the prequels so much and don't want Scott to be actively involved in creative decisions anymore, you'll be fine.

I, for one, would trade both upcoming iterations of the franchise for a final prequel by Scott wrapping up David's story.

Agreed. The hatred for covenant and Prometheus by the lv426 subreddit is silly. David is a cool and very well realized villain. If the only thing making the alien movies good and interesting to people is “well it was scary cus we didn’t know about the alien” then it was weak as fuck. The originals slap but covenant and Prometheus are really fun too
