As an avid fan of Alien and Aliens I have been totally let down by Ridley Scott with Prometheus and Covenant. They're both very pretty etc but are no better than the dreadful Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection sequels. Scott has gotten too cocky and written a prequel franchise which kills the original films, destroying the mystery behind the Xenomorph and making it incredibly self-indulgent. I genuinely hope that the sequel to Covenant is shelved. Scott killed the Neill Blomkamp film which was set to star Weaver and Beihn and replace Alien 3 as the third instalment which is a great shame. He needs to let this franchise go to someone else.

(On a side note I am so glad Scott only produced Blade Runner: 2049 and let Denis Villeneuve do his own thing because that sequel is a masterpiece).
