I'll be honest, I kinda like Prometheus. I think it has some absolutely gorgeous scenes, although the plot is pretty bad. Covenant is in the same vein, with less beautiful scenes and a worse plot

The thing that killed Prometheus was entirely the script. Set design? Great. CGI? Great. Acting? Great.

But when everyone character acts exactly opposite of what their chosen profession was, I can only come to the conclusion that Ridley Scott has a deep disrespect for Scientists.

The Geologist/Cave Mapper got lost. The Archeologist contaminated the site. The Biologist didn't recognize a treat response. The Anthropologist couldn't separate her work from her religious beliefs. I can see the subtext that Scott was going for and I disagree with it.
