The canceled Covenant sequel in Ridley Scott's Alien prequel franchise would have confirmed the most controversial retcon made to the saga’s timeline.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The canceled sequel to Alien: Covenant would have concluded a controversial retcon that the newer movies created. The Alien movies' timeline has always been complicated in terms of the chronological narrative and lore, with the introduction of its prequels and sequels creating inconsistencies throughout the films.
Although Alien: Covenant and Prometheus were good films that held the right amount of tension and action, they did leave room for controversial retcons, including changes to the Alien vs. Predator shared universe. From changing the chestburster gestation process to ignoring Weyland Corp's origins to birthing xenomorphs without a queen, these movies changed a few details from previous Alien movies, leading to a controversial debate among audiences who prefer the original lore.
Ridley Scott’s Covenant Sequel Would Have Confirmed David As The Alien Creator Right after the release of the film, Ridley Scott teased a Covenant sequel that would explain more about David being the potential xenomorph creator. Covenant's ending suggests David's experimentation with pathogens created new life forms, and those creatures became the iconic aliens audiences saw in the first Alien.
Why Prometheus & Covenant’s Alien Retcon Is So Controversial Both Prometheus and Covenant retcon the Alien movies in various ways, including the reveal of David being the creator. This retcon became so controversial because it removes the mystery surrounding the xenomorph and dulls the exciting impact of the original film.
The lore in the Alien vs. Predator films was also fun because they focused on mysterious creatures that were completely new to humanity. They didn't have detailed backstories or creators, which made them even more strange and frightening.
