I completely forgot about that line from Ragnarok.
That's really the only joke I cringed at, minus Korg's last one-liner.

We'll never get to see what they would have done with the Pops-1000. Curse you Cameron!
I don't really recognise it in the movie, tbh.
There are lots of similar notes and motifs in A3, BF and Sphere.

Where did he say that he is finished? After Alien Covenant I have little hope for a good Alien movie to end the trilogy in the same way I knew the final Star Wars prequel wouldn't be that good after Attack of the Clones. And I like Prometheus but Ridley Scott really jumped ship in Alien Covenant.
I liked Covenant much more than Prometheus. 
Both are 100% terrible ALIEN movies tho.... I'd love Scott to at least wrap it up with the third one. David is one of the best sci-fi film characters in history of cinema and it'd be a shame to not see the end of his journey.

Agreed on all points. David is probably the most interesting character in the series and he's stuck in ****** films.

Too bad they're not going to finish what they started, I wanted to see where this would go next.
I prefer Prometheus over Covenant. Prometheus was different enough from the Alien films which is exactly what the Alien series needed. The Xeno had lost it's mystery and wasn't threatening anymore, especially after the AVP movies, and Ripley's story was done at the end of Alien 3 only to be dragged back from the dead in Resurrection. Ridley was right that something new and mysterious needed be introduced that would be the new threat. I think the Engineers, the Pathogen, and David were interesting, mysterious, and threatening, just that the Xeno had such an amazing design that there was no hope for any of it to successfully replace the Xeno. The Engineers could've been more alien looking but never would've been successful replacing the Xeno, it's just that damn good of a design.
It was unfortunate that Covenant abandoned Shaw as the main protagonist for the inferior Daniels, and her quest to confront the Engineers to bring back the Xeno. If they just stayed the course after Prometheus trying to give us something other than another Xeno sequel, we would've at least seen that third movie to conclude the story.

I think the best mood-setting and action scoring ever is in Wrath of Khan myself.
I can permit that. Another of Horner's finest works.

Scott has the same problem as Snyder.
A great visualist that thinks he's also a good writer or storyteller.
He should just get great writers, trust them, and shoot the script.
Problem is that with his track record, nobody has the balls to call him on his bulls*** ideas in the pre-production phase.
He's still one of the best eye out there too bad he didn't see his limitations.

I don't see any such statements from Scott anywhere. I think jye is pulling your collective chains.
Covenant was the sacrifical lamb that paved the way for BR 2049.

I didn't see this from Scott directly either, but I heard the exact same thing from a video or two.

Did you guys hear, Feige is retiring the MCU.
Ok here is Ridley’s quote, I will admit that in reading it real fast I missed the last sentence and misunderstood the entire message.
Or did I, seems conflicting to me:
See above.
Yup yup
Did you guys hear, Feige is retiring the MCU.
And I love how Scott blames "the beast" for Covenant's failure. Like it was only his genius that made us like Giger's **** design all along, lol.

Yup and the question remains will Alien fans now go watch another Alien movie without any Xeno’s?
I don’t know what he’s smoking but AC was a box office bomb I really do think they’re done.
I tell you what’s really dead though that Universal Monster connected universe they literally shut down that production building lol
Soon Disney will own 20th Fox, so if you think you've seen a bad Alien movie... just you wait.
