The end of Prometheus promised a continuation of Shaw and David travelling to the Engineers home planet, questions would be answered etc.
It didn't happen and I think that was largely because SRS responded to the hatred. -

would’ve been awesome to actually see more of the engineer home planet, not just one short scene of it getting annihilated….
also Shaw was a great character who they killed off in a ****ty offscreen way and then gave David credit for literally everything in the future films happening
was some lazy writing that could’ve been fleshed out better if they took more time instead of trying to **** out another stinker -

EXACTLY!
An old member of the Prometheus board called Frogarama wrote that Scott nuking the Engineers home planet in A:C was basically him reacting to the hate directed towards the Engineer/Space Jockey connection. He destroyed the planet and in doing so destroyed any chance of furthering that plot. -

So he said Dazed but he couldn't retain the writers and so failed to plan as opposed to planned to fail
You know what I'm talking about. Your job requires continuity and reliability and I don't see why his doesn't.

It's no fun without the brains of Taudarian, the charm of IWYD, or the wit of Scalvador.
Harry alone can't provide the level of intellectual stimulation you're looking for. He never could.

Also it pissed all over what was already established in Prometheus.
I predicted it would when it was announced Lindelof wasn't returning to write. I doubt Scott understood what Prometheus was about.
I didn't watch Covenant until many months after its release. I wasn't surprised to find it was total, nonsensical garbage that didn't know how, or where, to pick up from the end of Prometheus.
The myth ends with Pandora and the philosophical question as to the nature of hope. Lindelof knew there was nothing left to say. It's a shame Scott didn't.

Yeah and I do suspect that 1 of the main reasons why Ridley Scott chose to do that (He did Make Both Movies) was because there actually were a lot of Fans that were disappointed that we did not see the Aliens in "
PROMETHEUS
" and I think that Ridley Scott did notice that and he definitely does understand how popular his First "
ALIEN
" Movie, the "
ALIEN
" Franchise , and the Aliens (Xenomorphs) themselves are with the Fans and so I don't think he wanted to disappoint them again by not having the Aliens be in the Next Movie.
