Thank you!
Dear writers, if you need stupid characters, don't make them scientists acting stupid in their own field of expertise!
If you need your charachters to be scientists, don't make them act stupid in their own field of expertise!
You can always have the geologist touch alien biology with bare hands or have the biologist get lost in the cave, but not the other way around!! (I mean you still shouldn't, they are scientists after all, but it's the easier pill to swallow)
This entire movie was a big pile of garbage and demystifying the xenomorphs did not help the franchise at all. The numbers for covenant weren't bad (just) because covenant was bad, they were bad because prometheus completely killed any drive to sit through a sequel.
Hollywood needs to stop killing franchises with horrible writing, don't buy and kill a franchise for quick profit, improve it, expand it. Invest in good writing and less people will notice the audacious lack of creativity in creating something new.
