I Know Ridley Scott Would Hate Me for This, but 'Alien: Romulus' Is a Better Sequel to 'Prometheus' Than 'Covenant' Ever Was

In 1979,Ridley Scottchanged sci-fi horror forever withAlien.

Scott stepped away after that first film, leading toJames CameronmakingAliensin 1986.

After several more sequels andanAlien vs. Predatorspinoff, Scott returned to the franchise with 2012’sPrometheus.

Although it was an excellent movie,many fans were disappointed by the lack of xenomorphs.

It went straight up there, and we discovered from it that [the fans] were really frustrated.

So I thought: Wow, OK, Im wrong.

Our chests burst with love for the franchise.

Fede Alvarez gave fans what we wanted, but he didn’t forget what Ridley Scott started.
