Alien: Covenant already looks to have all of Prometheus’ problems. Why are all these scientist/explorers going into the unknown without protective suits? The trailer shows that they get infected by something bad through their unprotected ears and then cuts to people saying “we have no idea what’s out there.” Stupid.
Because the air is breathable? Why would you need a protective suit if you can breathe the air? It’s not like there could be untraceable alien toxins! Wait…
Maybe because no one survived the Prometheus mission, so they couldn’t phone home and say “People should probably keep their suits on, just so you know.” People who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
But seriously, I’m still not sold on AC. That teaser poster got me excited, but the trailer makes it look like a mashup of Prometheus and Alien and do we really need that?
