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.
Ugh, man. I watched it for the first time a couple nights ago and it was just awful. It was interesting and decent in parts, but I have never seen a collection of dumber characters walk right into their own deaths willingly than I did when I watched Prometheus. What kind of scientist takes off a hazard suit just because you can breathe the air?! What kind of scientist goes tromping around touching and contaminating and affecting the environment? The one guy is like “whoa let’s not touch these dead guys, but I will try to touch this huge crazy worm!” Or “Oh hey I don’t wanna be friends, but later we’ll be okay with each other. Also where did your accent go the rest of the movie?”
Ugh. I could go on and on. Everyone was just so rock dumb. Except Idris near the end.
