Fox has to stop pressuring Ridley to put things into his movies that weren't part of the plan, it mucks things up and leaves a whole lot of people upset and it's dividing the franchise.
I hope they give us more information on the engineers and there's some sort of flash back to give some of us fans some closure on David x Shaw.
I really disliked Alien: Covenant the movie but I found the book wholly satisfying I have it in 4 formats, I have re-read it probably more times than I have watched Prometheus.
I think what they did, has a lot of long time fans wanting to leave the franchise and a bunch of new blood being pulled into the fandom. In the end that makes them more money because those new fans will want to watch the Alien-Alien:Resurrection and probably buy the new anthology to catch up.
Everyone is regaling stories of doom and gloom for the franchise but I think that's just missing what they were familiar with. Prometheus was starkly different yet had all the ideas that were previously not used in other alien films and same with Alien: Covenant.
Prometheus was about creation, Lawrence of Arabia in space. And Alien: Covenant was about couples, Frankenstein in space. My guess is Alien: Awakening may be about the engineers because of the Origae=Waggoner=Wagner=Charioteer=Space Jockey=Chariot of the Gods.
