Releasing five years after Prometheus it was a long time coming that felt afflicted by several factors. You can definitely feel the studios hand here and even Ridley Scott admitted he adjusted for feedback. I've seen this film described as being...almost an apology to Prometheus. There audiences expected a Xenomorph horror and we instead got a creationism study. Though I think the films goes into some great ideas, the general public didn't feel the same. Audiences often dont like being tricked and to save the franchise they went back to basics. Instead of titling this so it ties in with Prometheus, they tell you straight away that this is Alien. However, over its lengthy development, they went back and forth over what to do. Now if youve seen our breakdown of Proemtheus then youll know we discussed Paradise lost. Paradise was even the title of the movie at one point but Scott felt it gave too much away. However that theme continued whenever Scott was discussing. Covenants original title was Alien Paradise lost which he announced in 2015: "because if it is paradise, paradise cannot be what you think it is. Paradise has a connotation of being extremely sinister and ominous." Though this was changed quotes and nods towards the poem are still found in the movie.

The Shaw scene is so much more terrifying when you actually begin to understand what happened to her. David basically kept her alive as an egg factory, experimenting on her with the black goo transformed her into a hybrid with a massive, gaping womb cavity to accommodate the alien eggs, he mentions how keeping her alive was one of his greatest successes, she was alive during the entire process.

*David could have left the Planet anytime he wanted to. There were multiple more Engineer Juggernaut Ships docked in the courtyard. He was waiting for The Company to send another ship full of specimens for him to work with. I wish they'd just continue on with David's story already*

Another cool detail I noticed is the juxtaposition of both openings while the crew sleeps: In Covenant, Walter is shown doing maintenance, making sure the people are safe and just generally the needed things, nothing more While in Prometheus, it’s almost like David’s bored and trying to pass the time, spending his time looking into dreams, bleaching his hair and watching movies he likes, much more human-like

I've never understood the xenomorph being seen as the perfect organism, they literally rely on other creatures to reproduce

Ash, Bishop, Call, David...Walter. D is the 4th letter from the start of the alphabet. Walter is his foil, his opposite, his mirror. W is the 4th letter from the end of the alphabet.

Fassbender was the best part of Prometheus and basically carried that movie so they cast him twice for Covenant. I don't think his back can handle a 3rd movie even tho he is interested.
