After directing the firstAlienmovie, which was released in 1979, Scott passed on the franchise to other directors.

Therefore, Scott returning with 2012’sPrometheuswas the perfect move to usher in a new era for the franchise.

Even thoughPrometheusgave explanations for a lot of theAlienfranchise’s biggest mysteries, the series still feels strangely incomplete.

BetweenPrometheusandCovenant, David betrays Elizabeth and kills her so that he can perform experiments on her.

Therefore, when the characters inAlien: Covenantarrive on the planet, it seems to be entirely empty.

However, it is continued in a very unsatisfying way.

This is disappointing, since she was the most interestingprotagonist in theAlienfranchisesince Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley.

I don’t necessarily have a problem with David killing Elizabeth in theAlienfranchise.

After all, him killing her turns him into an even more intriguing and mysterious character.
