rewatched alien covenant for the first time since it came out today and it’s craaaaazy 1. how much of this movie i repressed lol and 2. how many ideas and concepts that i love love love were introduced in the alien prequels that the films (as released) seemed wholly uninterested in actually engaging with

#i watched some of the cut scenes afterwards and like?? biggest complaint was how the crew felt like noncharacters #and these scenes would have helped soooo much. esp wrt daniels and walter #the movie would outright tell things about them but wouldn’t show and it was so frustrating that things would be brought up out of nowhere #also. sorry. i know this is gonna piss some people off but..#david saying he loved shaw made me laugh bc that was Not properly worked up across these two movies #i can do the heavy lifting on my own time and understand how he could have loved her in his own way #but the movies did not do that. i did. lol! so the parallel to walter’s alleged love for daniels was weird #bc again. they cut a bunch of scenes of the two interacting aboard the covenant that would have made that make sense #whatever. i enjoyed it anyway
