So, you know how they fuck up in Alien because they’re space truckers, and in Prometheus they run away from rolling ships in a straight line?
In Covenant, they’re a terraforming crew of elite scientists that are dumber than all of that put together. You will facepalm in the opening, and actively hope these dummies die.
On the other hand, it has actual Engineer lore drops, and I like that, even if they never make any fuckin sense.
Thank you for the heads up – this is exactly the kind of thing I wish I had known going into Prometheus. Just expecting something different made the facepalms more than I can handle. I feel like knowing what to expect is going to make it so I can check out Covenant at some point without the accompanying let down that.

In my head canon that movie is set in the Idiocracy universe and those were the smartest people they could find.
