Is there a disconnect between the Alien movies Prometheus (2012) and Covenant (2017)?
Is there a disconnect between the Alien movies Prometheus (2012) and Covenant (2017)?
I’ve just rewatched Prometheus and at the end the lead character has said “I don't want go to back to where we came from. I want to go where they came from.” Herself and David then take off.
In the follow up movie (Covenant), they end up in another uninhabited place. I can barely remember the movie but was so disappointed by this given I had even expecting something different since 2012 😂
I don’t plan on rewatching Covenant. Can anyone explain that apparent disconnect I have?
They did go to the engineer world, that's where David did a bit of genocide
I don't believe Alien: Covenant takes place at the engineers home world. If you compare the engineers from Prometheus with the inhabitants from Covenant, they don't look the same. They look more as another "experiment" like the humans.
Thanks for that. I’d forgotten. Seems like a way to avoid the challenge of showing their world as a living thing.
Well yes, this is biggest gripe with covenant. It timeskipped across the next and objectively more interesting part of prometheus only to tell another not too difficult to predict aliens movie. It doesn't help shaw was not even present in covenant (unless you count a skeleton). I think the background to what happened there is more interesting than any of the other movies we got since.
